ANOTHER TRIUMPH OF GENIUS.-Mr.
John O. Birkey, practical chemist, re-
siding at 245 South Sixth street, has In
vented and patented stove, for all the
ordinary purposes Of cooking and heating
without the use of coal or wood. In its
construction it is original and simple and
for its intended use decidedly effective.
The very many objections to gass stoves,
hitherto presented to the public, are en-
tirsly overcome by the invention of Mr..
Birkey. Its peculiarities consist in its
intensity of heat, perfect combustion, du-
rsbility, economy, cleanliness, ,and absence
of carbon.
An idea may be formed of its power
from the fact that, with sic feet OF gas
per hour, gallon of water will boil in
eleven minutes; or, in other words, only
about one foot of gas is used toaccomplish
this much. The brightest meta, kettle OF
pan used on this stove will be perfectly
free from carbon or lampblack.
For heating purposes alone, this In.
vention is worthy of peculiar and popular
consideration, for it may be made to take
the place of patent heaters. For parlors
drawing rooms, bed-chambers, nurseries
Office, studios, or the largest class ofbpil
dings, it would prove. a most valuable
companion, for several reasons. There il
no danger from fire; its heat is of ever
temperature there is no smell of Goa
gas, so injurious to health; no ashes to b.
removed no scuttle is required; no rak
ing out of cinders, &c. An ordinary
sized room may be kept at a temperature
of seventy degrees in midwinter through
the medium of single burner, such as il
used for Illuminating purposes.-Phlladel

The DEAD OF ANDERSONVLLE.-
Private Dorence Atwater, while a pris
oner at AndersonviIle, suspecting that
it was the desire Of the rebel government
to kill and MAIN our prisoners by whole,
sale, and to conceal its appalling cruelty,
cOntrived to copy secretly, the entire list
Of our dead, and to bring the said list
safely away on his person, in March, 1855
His purpose, he says, was to publish the
same for the benefit of the friends of the
dead but Col. Breck, at the War Depart,
ment, would not permit him to carry out
this design, and he finally consented to
leave bis rolls in the Colonei's hands, the
latter agreeing to give him clerkship,
pay him $500, and to let him have the
rolls back again as soon as they should
be copied The $500 was paid, but the
promise to return the rolls was not full
filed. Dorence, at length, went to An
dersonville with Miss Clala Barton, to aid
in identifying and marking the graves OF
the Union soldiers there buried. His
rolls were there, in The hands of Capt,
Moore, and were frequently used, the
originals, which had beer captured from
the enemy, being in part deficient or
blurred. Atwater, regarding theuI as his
property, and having come into possession
of them while in the discharge of his duty,
retained them; and for this he was tried
by court-martial and sent to the State
Prison, at Auburn, where be remained
two months, when he was pardoned by
the President. ethen set himselfto work
procure the publication of the rolls, and
now we have the result in pamphlet Of
"a pages, from the New York Tribune
Office containing "a List of the Union
Soldiers Buried at Andersonville." 1t is
sold for 25 cents, to cover the expenses
of publication, the brave soldier asking
no compensation for his labor and suf
ferings.
