ANOTHER CAMPAIGN FALSE
"a HOOD EXPLODED.

It seems pity 10 deprive the republi-
can organs and stumrers of any OF their
campaign thunder, but they will get up
more no doubt. The canvass is getting
red hot" on both sides, and the organs
a'e daily telling an unbelicving public
tat we are nation Of fools, ruled by
band of unmitiga ed scoundrels.
A Herald correspondent telegraphs
from Indianapolis his report of an inter
view with Mr.. English, and his surprise
at discovering first, that the English
house has no iron doors; and, second,
that the English foreclosures are as base
less as the iron doors. We are sorry for
Mr.. Halstead, of Cincinnati, who has
apparently dreamed these things, and in
his extreme anxiety for republican sue
cess has been publishing his dreams.
Mr.. English refused to speak of these
malicious falsehoods, and he was right,
In our judgment. But our correspon-
dent found other citizens who were
ready enough to expose them when
askei. Mr.. English remarked that Mr..
John G. New, chairman of the Republi-
can State Committee, had long been his
friend and cashier of the bank OF which
MIR. English was at the same time presi-
dent, sand we do not eat each other
when we meet" That is all right, but
i. strikes us that politics have reached a
contemplate extreme when old neigh
bors and friends can be silent, for the
sake of political advantage, when they
see an honorable associate maligned.-
The republicans claim to be the party of
intelligence and virtue; they would do
well to get rid of number of organs
which just now would disgrace party
OF fComanches.

JUDGE HOUSTON ACCEPTS,
BUT REFUSES TO TAKE AMY ACTIVE
PART IN THE CANVASS.

WE PART IN THE CANVASS.
Below is the correspondence between
Judge Houston and the committee ap-
pointed by the recent Republican
State Convention TO inform him OF his
nomination for Congress. 1t will be
seen that NO negroes were appointed
upon the committee
Hon. JoHN W. HOUSTON
Dear Sir: The pleasing duty has
been committed to us to inform you
that the Republican State Convention
on the I'd inst, unanimously nomina.
ted you as the candidate of the Repub-
lican party of Delaware for Repre-
sentative in Congress.
This nomination was by acclamation
and was accompanied by every evi-
dence of genuine enthusiasm, and by
q deep feeling that in you the Repub-
lican party had candidate who fifty
represented its best impulses, and its
justly high ideal of proper character
of a Representative of Delaware in the
National Legislature.
The people of the State hold in
grateful recollection your public SER
vices in the same capacity in former
years. They recognize the fact that
the economic questions upon which
parties then divided, and especially
the question Of protection to Ameri-
can industry, again agitates the coun-
try, and they gladly look to you to
again lead them in this renewed con-
test with their ancient foes. Hoping
that your nomination will receive the
ratification of the people in your cleo
tion, We have the honor to remain,
very truly yours,

From the Boston Herald. Sept. 3, 1850.

The outcry that a number of RepubIi-
Can newspapers in the West are max
ing over the foreclosure of mortgages by
Mr.. English seems TO be a very senseless
sort of business. If the Democratic can
didate for Vice President had set bim-
self up as a disinterested phllanthropist,
who passed his life in doing acts of char.
ity snj kindness, it might be well to
show that he did not always do what he
preached. But we are not aware that
MT. English has made any such preten-
sion. He has said that he was a be-
lever In certain Democratic principles,
and 1t was taken for granted that he was
a shfewd busi bess man, who :ook ad-
vantage, honestly, of the chances offer
cd him in trade. No doubt his Repubh-
cln accusers are men who have never
charged interest on the money they have
10 ned.

The Stock Regions Of Texas.

The section of country along the Gulf
coast, lying between Houston and Gal
weston, and extending far around to the
Rio Grande, is the famous pasture region
of Texas. The country consists Of open
land, skirted everywhere by the blue
horizon. It's fertility and luxuriant crops
of grass, the even temperature through
the year, and the numerous small
streams of pure water, make it emphat-
ically the paradise" not ''of the PERI"
but of the cows. Some of the cattle
farms of this country are respectable
principalities in their way, rivaling
many of the petty Kingdoms Of the
German States, and the proprietors are
literally lords of all they survey. From
100000 to 100000 acres, all in one farm,
are no unusual thing, and this, too, under
fence, where roam thousands on thous-
ands Of sleek and saucy beeves. 1t is a
very kingdom of COWS. The owners, too,
are live energetic men, awake to the inn
portance of having the best breeds, and
accordingly have imported Brahmin
and Syrian bulls, which make most
excellent cross on the Texas stock.
Durham and Devon stock do not succeed
we'll, being too subject to fever. Great
as it already is, it is believed that the
cattle business of Texas is yet in its in
fancy. The European demand for fresh
meats will tend to stimulate and enlarge
the business.

various articles of food can bedeliver-
ed in England in excellent condition.
Thirteen thousand miles would seem a
long distance to convey fresh food ];
but, even though the Tropics have to
be crossed, steamships and ice cham
bers have combined to render the
scheme a success. And thus there
have already been sold at remunerative
prices, and eaten with relish, fresh
meat which was killed in Melbourne
and Sydney yards, fresh butter from
Victorian diaries, grapes from South
Australian vineyards, and apples from
the orchards of beautiful Tasmania.
Producers in Australia are conse-
Quently busy with their arrangements
for developing an active trade in these
various articles of consumption, and
there is no doubt that their several in
terests will be materially benefited.
So, too, it would seem certain that the
cOnsignees of the produce in England
will reapn0 little advantage.

Cum Cotton and Nitro.Glycerine.


About thirty-two years ago, Schon-
beln, German chemist, had occasion
to lmmerse cotton in mixture of con-
centrated and sulphuric acids. To his
surprise he noticed that the cotton did
not dissolve. Taking it and washing off
the acid he placed it in drying oven to
dry. On returning the next morning
no cotton was to be seen. AS the stu
cents in his laboratory affirmed that
tney had not meddled, he wondered
much as to what had become of it. He
tried the experiment again, and this
time had the good fortune to witness the
disappearance of the cotton.
He had discovered gun cotton.
This is a very curious substance, al
though it does not differ in appearance
from ordinary cotton. It is, however,
q trlfe heavier. Strange to say. the man.
ner in which fire is applied to this.
causes it to burn very differently. Touch
it with live coal or lighted cigar, and
il burns away very slowly, much like the
mixtures used to produce the colored
fires of Fourth Of July nights; apply
fame to it, and it explodes like gun
powder, but if you fire it by means of a
Illuminating cap it explodes with terrific
violence, and rapidity six or seven
times greater.
But there is another substance which
explodes even more terribly still. It is
nitro-glycerine. This is produced some
what similarly to gun cotton. with the
exception that glycerine is used instead
of cotton, these substances being very
much alike in chemical composition.
NifrO. ClxynoriY1o ic Ia,,so oN;Irv
which has very safe and harmless APP
pearance, but in reality is something
terrible. A small quantity placed upon
huge boulder ana fred, will blow it
into thousand pieces, whereas with
gun powder the result would have been
merely flash, and great puff Of wind
and smoke.
You wonder perhaps, how it is that
nitro-glycerine merely placed upon a
stone and exploded, can possibly break
it, as you think the air will give way so
much sooner than the stone. Now the
rapidity with which the gas formed by
the combustion of nitro-glycerine ex-
pands is a hundred times that of cam
non ball, and the atmosphere offers
more resistance to a body moving at
that rate than the stones beneath it.
Nitro-glycerine in some Of its forms is
the agent almost universally employed
in blasting. Without it many OF the
great railway tunnels and other feats of
engineering would have been impossible.
The compounds Of nitro-glycerine are
many. Mixed with tripoli or rotten
stone it becomes dynamite, or "die-in-a-
minute" as some wag has facetiously
termed it; this adulterated with nitrate
of soda or potash is known as giant pow
der. When nitro.glycerine is mixed
with gun powder, in very finely d.
vided state, it is called rend-rock powder:
with sawdust, dualin. These are, how
ever, all authorizations, and weaken the
power of the explosive.

On the banks of the "Blue Juniata0 in
