to hear from are in the 9Th district, and the
eleven already heard from in that district gave
Merrimon net gain OF over 100 each. The ex-

Davis agreed. Stepping into a friends OF re,

dsIlHStOH correspondent OF Boston GLOBE
says that the developments from the confederate
archives will considerably astOnish the country.
The intention to destroy by fire was not con-
fined TO Jacob Thompson and the persons i'm
plicated. During the last year of the war great
attention was given o chemical experiments for
tOrpedoes. Prepared Eliminates were arranged
for land purposes so that stepping upon them
would cause an explosion. Among others who
claimed great results from experiments was a
Missourian who asserted the ability to place
material in ships, houses, dep0ts, coal yards,
given time, which could be regulated according
TO circumstances; also a preparation which
would be harmless until violently shaken, and
then it would explode with tremendous force
aud set on fire everything in its neighborhood,
as well as sufiOcate those who should be near.
"A secret session of Congress appointed a COM
mittee to investigate the subject. The chemist,
showing a colorless liquid in vial, said that it
could be thrown from the gallery of the House
of Representatives at Washington and kill every
man on the floor in two minutes. The commit
tee evinced absolute incredulity. The chemist
offered to bet that he would leave the commit
tee in the room, and that there would not be
one left alive if the vial was dropped. The
committee firmly and reSolutely declined the
experiment. The chemist then placed a hand
kerchief on the mantel, and, at a given number
OF minutes thereafter, as designated, it sponta-
neOusly burned. A number of cats were placed
in the room and the committee outside saw
through a window the vial upset, and the cats
instantly killed. The experiments were COM
pletey satisfactory, and a bureau was estab-
lished to carry out the views proposed. The
chemist was made brigadier- general, and is
now one OF the leading supporters of Horace
Greeley. The termination OF the war came too
soon TO permit the carrying out of the designs
for destruction Of life and property.
