DY Our Patent we entirely ObViate
I'D all objections, as we use perfectly dry
filling, composed of Dry Calcined Plaster of
Paris and Alum. We pack this mixture be-
tween the inner and the outer cases, where
1t remains unchanged any number of years,
until nre melts the alum (Which contains q
large quantity of Water) and thus saturates
the plaster and forms the steam which al
ways preserves the contents of the safe.
The plaster by being wet, sets firmly; and
eVen1f the alum near the outside is entire
" melted, it forms cells which retain the
precise shape Of the Jumps OF alum, and the
nll1ng OF plaster keeps the safe as well filed
rs before the FIRE. The advantages Of using
, dry hlltng are very apparent, viz: It does
not mould the contents of the safe; 1t never
san rust the iron; it will always remain
1erfectly hre-proot.

THE HAUNsTEIN FoRaERY-ANoTuER
ARREST, BowDEN CAPTURED. Thomas R.
Bowden, late Attorney General of Virginia.
was indicted in the early part of July for
conspiring with George Cbahoon, Richard
S. Sanxay and johnson Fl. Sands to defraud
the Commonwealth of Virginia by forging
and uttering promissory note for 81 900.
At the time of the Indictment of his accom-
plices it was expected that Bowden would
turn States evidence, and, indeed, he made
that proposition himself, in written COM
munication to the Commonwealth Attor-
ney, but he soon afterwards changed his
mind, for repeated summons were issued for
his appearance to give evidence, none Of
which could be served because, although at
the time in the city, Mr.. Bowden carefully
avoided the officers of the court. When
about to be arrested for contempt Of court
he escaped from the city Being deeply
implicated, the Grand Jury took the matter
in hand and after a patient investigation
brought in true biz against him for con-
spiraoy to defraud, &c. Since then the
police have been keeping an eye upon him
and on Saturday he was arrested in Char
lesion, South Carolina, and turned over to
Detective Knox, who had gone thither armed
with requistion for him from Governor
Walker. He will probably arrive here to-
day. A hearing of the case will be had at
the September term Of the Hastings Court,
but no doubt Mr.. Bowdsn will apply for
bail at once.

CONGRESSMAN MoRR1sEy's GAMpLrS

CONGRESSMAN MoRR1sEY's GAMBLING
HoUsE.-Joh Morrisey's famous gambling
house is one of the great lions of Saratoga
for the great public. A correspondent says:
The average number of visitors there for
the week ending August 8 was over one
thousand for each day, and of this number
some three hundred are ladies from the ho-
tells and boarding houses The motive, I
presume, is one Of pure curiosity. Even
clergymon go and take their familie. to SEQ
the gaming tables, the cards, the balls, dice,
and the elegant and spacious dwelling, just
opposite the famous Congress Springs. The
appointments are superb, though about all
in the way of furniture and furnish are Of
native make and from the city of New York.
Everything is grand, snowy expensive, and
startling, even to the loss of $4,000 by
one unknown party, who the same night
turned the tables upon his antagonist, and
won $124.00O. I hear of another quite
distinguished citizen in his way who lost
first s13, 600, and then ran his loss Up to
$4,000, and all in one night. The losing
is easy enough, and the winnings, ] pre-
sumo, are the exceptions, although the al
ways courteous and Intelligent attendants
of the so.called bank will tell you that the
bank can only make small though gener-
ally very certain percentage. And this
certain percentage is certainly necessary to
keep up the splendid tables, wines, cigars
and attendance, all OF which are as free as
Congress water to those who play, and to

Paris VS.. Richmond.

The loss of a battle in which but single wing
Of an immense army was engaged, say 40,
900 out of $50, 900 men, two hundred miles
off, has thrown Paris, city Of two millions
of souls, into apparent CONSERVATION. An
easy promenade there by the Prussians in
the course of few weeks is anticipated by
many journals in this country and in Great
Britain. If such an event is realized it will
strongly contrast the American with tho
French style of fighting. In 1861 the Uni
ted States called out as large an army to
conquer the South, which did not have to
exceed six millions Of white people, as the
Prussians have to overthrow the Empire of
France with its forty millions of PEG ple.-
The objective point was Richmond, the
Southern Capitol 1t was but one hundred
and twenty miles from Washington. Hard
ly any regular Notifications existed until
the confines of Richmond were approached.
Yet, with over one million men in arms, We
failed to capture Richmond for four long
years. Army after army was launched
against it, commanded by our ablest officers.
They were repeatedly beaten and turned
back. Such was the way in which the
American citizens in the South, who were
opposed to the Government, contended for
their capital. Unlike Paris, it did not have
in its own population men sufficient to COM
bat an army Of hundreds of thousands. But
the Southern people we're desperately in
earnest, and fought in that spirit. If Paris
is taken in short time, it will be because
the French nation is not united, and will
not rally in behalf of the Government
They have resources enough to keep all
Europe at bay for four years, if they were
united among themselves. Cincinnati

the idea Of the picturesque has had some
thing to do with their determination. The

an appeal to the colored voters from Scion

support the native whites at the polls. The
following extract shows the character Of the

about the n,itraillemrs or mitraiNeuses which

apparatus is sort of coffee mill gun. We
had several of the kind in our late war. A
number of large rife barrels arc either
grouped around centre or arranged side by
side upon horizontal plano These bar
rels are loaded at the breech by mcchani-
cal arrangement which supplies the cart

turning crank. Such is the general char
acter Of the mait,aiHeur As our military
readers will perceive, it is similar to the
Calling gun and one or two others whose
names we do not remember As an often
sive weapon these machines are Of no prac-
teal value; but experts are of opinion that
they might be very useful for the defense of
fortified place against storming party,
where they could be fred at close range up

tonishing if they provo to be of any account
