TIE Gas WELLS OF New ORLEANS
The following letter from New Orleans to
a gentleman in Galveston, published in the
Galveston NstrS, gives the rationale:
"Thc Yankees have struck gas under
dis city, and have applied for a patent.
tits found thatthe earth under this city, al
drpth OF about forty feet, contains large
amour, Of pure gas-is in fact vast rcScr-
vor Of it. IL is not a fact, IS reported
that It smells Of birthstone aud sulphur.
The true philosophy Of its origin is this :
e is the result Of vegetable decomposition
in the whole aliuvial formation. This gas
IS held in the earth in an intermediate
state, leading to the tina! formation OF coal
beds. like those underlying Illinois.
utterly destroyed but matter takes new
forms only. This same gas is afterwards
extricated from the coal BY application OF
beat at our gas works.
"Thc mode Of securing the gas is sim
pie: a gas pipe is driven down about forty
feet: it is closed and pointed at the bot
tom, and about six inches Of the lower end
is swelcd, or Il little larger than the re-
maindcr OF the pipe, so it will follow down
easily. \ few holes are perforated near
the lower end Of the pipe; about three
feet of the lower end OF the pipe is double
Il pipe within pipe. This inner pipe is
also perforated with holes, and covered
with gauze wire. The water penetratcS
the holes and gauze wire, but dirt and
sand cannot. The water rises near the
surface and gives of plenty of gas, which
burns with q blue Pickering flame pint
of cheap common fluid, containing the
principle of chloride of lime, is poured in
the pipe: being lighter, it will be on the
top Of the water; the gas passing up
through this will burn with a pure bright
flame from a common gaS-burncr on the
top Of the pipe.
"The gas flows up from the earth with
about onc-seventh the pressure that Is
put on gas at the gas works TO drive 1t
through the pipes to make it burn well.
"What is required TO utilize this gas for
use in heating, cooking, or lighting, is
common reservoir or gas-holder, for the gas

The Public Debt of North Carolina

RALEIGH, n. c., March 2l.-The Seni-
mel publishes an article, prepared from
official data, estimating the public debt of
this State on the lst of July, 1860, under
the new Constitution at SO ,476,5 the
interest on which, due on that day ordered
by the Convention to be paid, is ssh, 900,
besides an additional tax OF S9S5,OO0,
under the new Constitution, is to be raised
next year; and both being added to the
present tax, makes the enormous sum OF
=: 600, 900 to be raised in 1869 by the i'm
poverishcd. This fearful exhibit of debt,
and lack of means for paying ii, will en-
sure the rejection of the Constitution.

the county taxes and interest on the State
debt, have never been more than $500, 900.
