The Bangor Whig says Mr.. Howard Til
den of Boston exhibited at the Pcnobscot Ex-
change, Saturday evening, new machine of
his invention, whereby pure carbureted hy-
drogen gas is manufactured at less than half
the cost of coal gas. No secret is made of
the method, Mr.. Tilden explaining each in
grcdient and operation as he proceeded. The
gas is generated by the action of a weak mix
ture of common sulpuric acid and water upon
iron scraps, i'll "a copper tank, with simple
apparatus affixed to the Interior that suspends
the generation as soon as the flow of gas is
cut Off The light thus obtained was very
brilliant making the flame of a common gas
in the same room appear dim in its superior
illumination. The machine is perfectly safe
and can be attended by any domestic. 1t can
be made at very low price, so that it seems
probable that it will be generally adopted.
Mr.. Tilden has already sold the patent right
for eleven States, and is here for the purpose
of disposing of it in Maine,

The Gardiner Reporter calls for an appro-
priation to make deeper channel through
the ''Sands" in the Kennebec, near South
Gardiner. Is says it must be evident to every
one that in the future the Kennebec River is
to supply the larger part of the marketable
ice, and that Gardiner will be as n natural
consequence, the great ice port of the New
England States. TO carry this ice upon
long voyages requires larger vessels than can
conveniently pass over the ''Sands, at any
time excepting at high water. There is little
or no difficulty any where else below Gardi-
cr. An appropriation of few thousand dol
lars would dig channel through the shoal
water above mentioned, so that vessels of the
needful size could come up to the wharves at
any time, and load with ice fer the extreme
southern ports. Such an appropriation would
not be thrown away, but would be of practical
benefit, and we doubt not that little effort on
the part of our leading citizens would be suf-
ficent to obtain it,"

Senator Oliver Il, Morton of Indiana,
opened the campaign in that State on
Monday evening of last week by power
full address, reviewing the work Of the Re
publican party the good it had done, and
the reasons for its continued supremacy.
He discussed at great length the tax and
funding bills and the fifteenth amendment.
The sophistry and SANDERS of the democ-
racy were also exposed and refuted in an
able manner. The canvass in Indiana
promises to be an exciting one. Senator
Morton, who is now enjoying good health
will stump the State thoroughly. Vice
President Colfax will also make several
addresses during the campaign.

said to have been the pseudonym Of Lewis
Clarke, an intelligent slave, owned in Ken

crown her achievements by cutting 40

is something to the purpose; there is no

The Republican State Central Committee
of Maryland met in Baltimore on the 10th
inst, and ordered Conventions to be held
in the several districts of the State for the
nomination of Congressman, on the lst of

the following resolutions:
/. That we regard the war forced upon
Prussia by France as an outrage upon
liberty and civilization, and entertain the
earnest hope that Prussia may triumph in
the approaching conflict.
2. That as an evidence of our practical
sympathy, the Treasurer of the State Cen
tral Committee be authorized to subscribe

Central Committee of Maryland to the fund
now being raised in this city for Prussian
hospital purposes.
