We know it is said that it is done to prevent the bottles from bursting or exploding Natural Philosophy. as we'll as Chemistry, teaches that heavier substances tend to the centre of the earth Now which end of the bottle is heavier or which end of the bottle (being air tight) is lighter, the top or the bottom-at which end does the explosive force of fermentation exert itself the stronger.

WHO WAS REsPoNsIBLE?-Mucn has been said about the sufferings Federal prisoners have endured from the inability of the Con- federate authorities to properly provide for them, and the refusal of the United States au- thorities to exchange them. In February, 1865, the week of the evacuation of Whining ton, North Carolina, several thousand Fede- ral prisoners were collected at Wilmington, to be exchanged. But when the flag of truce was sent to Schofeld to know if he would re- ceive them, He replied to Hoke thot it was no time for an exchange of prisoners, and they had to be sent back again to the interior of North Carolina. In reference Co this, Gen. Bradley T. Johnson in his examination on the trial of Major Gee, at Raleigh. said;
 Q Do you know any diibcalty you had about getting these prisoners exchanged after transporting them?
 A.-Yes, sir have two hundred and tiiy telegrams on the exchange.
 Q.-Did you transport them. and were they refused by the United States authorities.
 A.--Yes, sir; can give the telegrams of Generals Bragg, Baker and Hoke on this sub feet, that the United States authorities refused to receive them.

 OF THE State of Arkansas.

present myself before you as g candidate for the office of State Treasurer, and respect fully solicit your support To many of you am known personally and to many, not unfavorably l trust, by reputation. Before the war, I was Register ofthe Land Office at Fayetteville, and during the war, was elected to the office which 1 now seek. With what ability and faithfulness I filled these respec- tive offices, it is not for me to say, but may 1 not believe that my conduct in the premises was such as to have merited the good opinion of those oonversant herewith?
 My father moved to Washington county when was but child; the State has been my home ever since; all the interests l have are identified with hers and yours. No one deplores her present condition more than do nor will yield to any one, whether in office or out of it, in the sincerity of my efforts to bring about that harmony of action and kind ness of feeling among our citizens which are necessary to restore her to her former peace, prosperity and happiness. One thing is cer- tain, that to put her back where she was be- fore the war, we must bury the past, and ac- cept the issues of the war as the basis of flu ture action. To this end should all our efforts be directed.
 In fine, fellow-citizens, if elected, promise you to devote to the office whatever of ability l may possess. What more can promise ? Of course in that event, you shall have my thanks, but that you well know,
 l am, very respectfully,
