r. y. cablile; EDtxöir. K. DKEW, J., LOCAL EDITOR. EVANS VILLE: MONDAY MORNING,:: :JAN. 5 First Page: Death of Father Matthew Growing Men Exports, etc. Oas as Fuel. We insert with great pleasure the following communication from Doctor Fritsch, in relation to gas stoves; and we hope some of our manufacturers may think it worth while to send for a few of the different sizes of the Prussian stoves as patterns. The loss would bs insignificant, if they were found unsuited to our wooden country and peculiar climate. They might prove valuable acquisitions, and atcr the Doctor's recommendation from a knowladge and experience of their uses, we should feel great confidence in their success: It often happens that inventions made years ago in Europe, are laid before the public here in our Union as new. They pass even our patent office as original discoveries. I could tell of many of them. A notice in your paper on the above subject, calls my attention to a new instance of this kind. Carburated hydrogen gas, which is that of our gas works, has been used as a combustible in cooking and heating stoves, more than five years in different parts of Germany. When the invention was first made there, I used it myself for some time in different chemical laboratories, before it entered into public use. The process is simply this: The gas is mixed with air before it is made to pass through a cylinder, which is covered with a sieve. Above this sieve the gas is ignited. Where it issues through the sieve, it has lost its brightness; the color is bluieish and dim; but it has an intense heat, which it has acquired by a more perfect combustion, produced by the oxygen of the air. The cathedral in Berlin is heated with gas in four stoves. These heating stoves, like the cooking stoves, have a peculiar construction, j " I T4-. r. s ..n.!- B . - . 1 - - . I I &n it. n a.nVin.lA, ss era r I uc tiouieai. jam.., ns wen , most spienaia restaurac in er in, cook on these gas stoves They have the following advantages: First, cleanliness; For there is no dust nor ashes; second, the ease and readiness with which they are put in operation, for the lire in the stove is lighted as quickly as a gass uurimr, uuruiy, me n.ieusu iieut, uuus uw water and cooks in half the time that is required by a fire; fourthly, economy in time and cost of fuel; fifthly, safety and security from fire. In Berlin is a factory of stoves for using the gas. These stoves are of an excellent make. The tenfold price could not produce the same here. The price varies from 4 Prussian dollars up to 40 dollors; the last being the most complete, beautiful cooking stove. The 4 dollar stove can- be used for cooking beaf stake, making tea etc., and for preparing a perfect meal for a small family. I will furnish any person with pleasure the address of the firm, and can also- show drawings of the different stoves which are made there. By sending the money a person will be ' sure of having, in one month, a stove with gas burners in his house, so clean and nice that it may be nsed in his parlor. - - Doctor Fred Fritsch. Change of Maritime Commerce. The experiment of bringing oil home from the whaling fleet in the Pacific, across the Isthmus of Panama, has led many of the Eastern papers into reflections upon the future course of Via n-V.lmi ViiicinACO TT tliA nrm) Mff O rtf tria . , . , , , wuaie usiienes u uc u.uuguv ., "''" oy tne way oi ranama man in me snip via Capo Horn, it will be for the interest of those engaged in the business to keep their vessels in the Pacific, and when once there never to allow them to return. As soon as the necessary means are provided for the repairs and outfits for whale ships at San Francisco or other port on the Pacific coast, it will become the Depot of the whaling business. The fleets once in that ocean will be kept there, and at the end of each fishing season, will go into port, unload, reship their cargoes, repair, refit, and with fresh provisions and a re animated crew3, make a new start The voyages in this way will be reduced to six and nine months, and the capital required to carry on the business would be much less than when ships, as now, are fitted for a three or a five year's voyage, at sailing. The first investment will be much les3, and the returns much more frequent. Eastern capital and skill will continue to control the business, but its theatre will soon be transferred to the Pacific side of the continent, and some enterprising city there will reap the fruits of the labor that has built up Nantucket, New Bedford and other Eastern whaling ports. From repairing, building of whale ships will follow, and some point, how a wilderness, or Puget Sound, may resound in a few years with the busy industry of ship yards and an active bustling city around it. This branch of industry will flourish for a period till science from her teeming laboratories shall produce a substitute for fish oil when the whale ship will cease to hunt the leviathans of the deep in their retreats, and vex their lazy lives with the harpoon. And the events that shall change the course of the -v,ai;nr business, will change the current of commerce in other branches; and the Isthmus will become the great highway of the world, and the storms of Cape Horn will ere long find no victims on which to reek their unrelenting violence in their gloomy an inhospitable latitudes. 03"The anniversary of the Battle of Trenton was celebrated at that place on the 26th ult. by a sham fight, in which 500 citizen soldiers participated. The engagement was as nearly as possible an exact imitation of the srest ,-ejit it irl :nde-3 rmciEftritc.

(ttr The holders of the Wood worth patent

of a 'Machine for planing boards are endeavor ing to obtain from Congress a third lease of fourteen years, having already enjoyed a mo nopoly since 1838. It is said that during that time the aggregate gross receipts of the patent, have been one hundred million dollars, with a net profit to the proprietors of not less than ten million dollars. In order to explain this airay of figures, it may be necessary to state that the planing machine bears about the same comparison to the old system of planing boards by hand, that one of Hoe's fast presses bears to the machine upon which Franklin worked as a journeyman, and when we consider the vast amount of plained boards annually consumed in this country, we may form some vague idea of the tremendous profits of this patent mo nopoly. 1 he company owning the patent has gone before the present Congress asking this extension, and already over seventy thousand dollars have been spent in delicate attentions to the honorable members, and a contingent fund of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is beinjy reserved for pushing the matter through. We have no doubt but that the Company will be successful, as 106 members in the House have signified their willingness to vote for the extension, and so the mechanical industry of the country will be taxed millions of dollars to support this monopoly through another long term ef feartest years. 03" The New York Herald says- that Gen. Dull' Green is preparing a remarkable and curious reply to Col. Benton's Thirty Years in the Senate. The General's reply is to be entitled Thirty Years out of the Senate. Col. Benton was ever the bitter enemy of Mr. Calhoun, whereas Gen. Green was ever the ar dent admirer of Mr. Calhoun, besides being his relative by marriage. The admirers of Mr. Calhoun have been very much exasperated against Mr. Benton, for the unenviable position in which he has placed their hero in one or two passages of his career; but the proofs and facts which Benton has adduced we fear are too stubborn to be overthrown. It is no pleasure to any friend of his country to think one who has been so prominent in the councils of the nation whose genius re flected so much lustre upon her Legislative Halls, should have ever been swayed by any but the noblest sentiments of patriotism. But personal ambition and the love of power cor rupt the noblest virtue and patriotism. Missouri. The financial affairs of this ioiaie are arrangea lor Dienmai terms, ine reCeiptS into the State Treasury for the last - two years have been $1,007,113. Expendi tures 871.818. leavins a balance of $271.898. of which $200,000 is appropriated to the re duction of the State debt. The amount of State bnds issued to the various railroads is $9,633.000, being about one-half the amount ttiey will be entitled to receive as they progress with their works. 07" Mr. E. C. Davis, the Superintendent of Public Instruction in the State of Missouri, has been detected in a system of forgeries, which he has carried on for a number of years. He was once an editor, and has long been a prominent and much respected citizen. He has been arrested, and forgeries to the amount of $12,000 discovered. As Superintendent of Public Instruction, he was guardian of the morals of the rising generation, and should have been a man of spotless morals. The world should behold the example of Indiana in this respect, and imitate her fastidious choice. 03" The amount of gold received at the port of New York, for the year ending Dec, 29th, was upwards of forty million dollars. The amount received last year was a little more than forty-one and a half millions From New Orleans. We are indebted to the elegant steamer Antelope, and our friend Z. B. Taylor, on the wharf-boat for the latest Southern papers A Little Hock jury convicted the principal operator in the Little Rock Slate Company, of fraud, in issuing notes for circulation and defrauding the public thereby, and sent him I to the penitentiary for four years. 1 rue, his coadjutor, at Memphis, was sent a few week ago to the Tennessee penitentiary. There are a number of abettors iu this fraud, who operated behind the scenes that are unconvicted, who deserve the same fate. A proposition has been received by our Government from that of Great Britain, to re duce the postage between the two countries from twenty-four cents to twelve cents lor siugle letters. Our Government has indicated a willingness to agree to this proposal, provided England reduces the transit charge on mans passing mrougn mar. country 10 twelve and a half cents per ounce the price paid for the conveyance of the Canada mails through our territory. Liberia. A letter from Liberia, says that country wants, first, men of means; second, men of the highest conception; third, men ol enterprise; fourth, men of good morals and Christian principles; which is pretty much the same kind of men that all other countries need. The writer says, the times have been hard here for sometime, on account ol the rice crops failing to some extent, but provisions from abroad are now quite flush. The recent war with the natives of Sinou also made eatables scarce, and involved the Government, but we proved our strength to endure and power to conquer. These virtues can be learnt in almost any place or condition in this world. But few of the blacks sent to Liberia from the plantations at the South, need any lessons to prove their "strength of endurance," we reckon. fj" A Detroit paper says, that in the stockgrowing districts of the State, cattle are already suffering for want of fodder. Owing to the drought of last summer, the hay crop was rendered very short, and the cattle have little else than wheat straw to subsist on. 07" It is said the English government has fixed the maximum rates for messages by the Atlantic Snbmrrine Telegraph, at one dollar per word. The cable now being manufacture ed weighs one ton to a mile in length. 05" The boot, shoe and leather trade of the city of Boston, have subscribed $20,000 to the New England Emigrant Aid Society. They intend with this sum to found two tswns in Kansas during the ensuing spring. They are to bear the names of Bachelor and Claflin, the most extensive dealers in tbe United States. Bbidgixg the Mississippi. The company having in view the erection of the suspension bridge at St. Ixuis, have already commenced boring to ascertain the depth of the rock on ; Bloodv Island.

Mr. Carltle: The following appeared in Saturday's Journal: r "The Main street crossings-deserve the attention of the City Fathers. The new one lately laid down on the corner of First street, should either be made navigable, or taken up; the gravef crossing was far better. We venture to say that there are more impassable street-crossings in Evansville than in any town in the West. The Council has adopted the principle of the "Arkansaw squatter." When

the weather is pleasant, the crossings do well enough, and when it rains, the Street Commissioner has'nt time to make the repairs: and so we wade through, hoping only for dry weath er." As the above seems to reflect on the Street Commissioner unjustly, I beg leave to say that the crossings alluded to, were all laid according to the surveys and levels of the City Engineer; that the best of materials were procured, and that, if they are defective, the fault is not with the Street Commissioner or those who worked in their construction, but with those by whoso surveys and grades he is bound to be governed in making the crossings. All the materials suitable Tor crossings that could be procured at a reasonable price, have been exhausted; and as the City Council has manifested a determination not to pay bills necessarily incurred in-improving the streets,-! where such bills were not exactly in con sonance with its ideas of economy or modera tion, I have thought best to defer further operations of that sort, until the price of ma terials is reduced to their standard. I have for some time expected to hear from those interested, through the medium of one of the papers, in relation to the condition of the market place. Twice has this matter been laid before the Board by me as Market Master, and an appropriation asked for its Tepair. believe a committee was appointed to make an examination, but if the committee ever report ed, I have not been informed of it; neither has any appropriation been made, or orders given in relation to the same. Your readers can judge from this, whether the Street Com mis sioner ana AiarKet Master are to blame or whether the fault is not with others. E. 11. MOSELY Winter is Iowa. Last week a gentleman, three ladies, and a child, were returning from a neighbor's, over the prairie, in a sleigh with two horses, to their home near Monticello, in Iowa; the horses got off the road, plunged into a hollow, broke loose from the sleigh, and left the whole party buried in snow eight and ten feet deep. 1 heir absence c 'ated an alarm the next morning, and the neighbors turned out to search for them, and found them all dead, huddled together and covered with blan kets, under the shelter of some willows, ex cept the man, who was discovered within forty yards of his own home, frozen to death. lhree other men were frozen to death in the same neighborhood about the same tune. Near Lyons, in the same State, a lady in a sleigh with her sons, a youth ol twevty and a boy of twelve years, leturning from a neigh bor's across a prairie, was overtaken by a snow storm, which soon obliterated every trace of the road, nd so blinded them, that it was im possible to see a foot ahead. They wandered a'- out till nearly perished, when they came to a corn fieldr and crawling into a large shock of corn, around which the whirling snow soon built a wall; they remained till morning' while their poor animals took the peltings of toe puuiess storm unuer me lee oi meir snei ter. Their limbs were badly frozen, but al! escaped. (ttA lady, the inmate of a sleigh attach ed to two frantic horses that were making 2.40 time through the streets of Beloit, see inz destruction inevitable, calmly raised little daughter, that was sitting by her side. and waiting their approach to a deep snow drift, she cast her charge into its sou bosom. where it sunk out of sight; clearing herself of her hoops and encumbrances, she prepared herself for the second snow drift, into which she leaped and disappeared, all but her bonnet. The team sped on with the husband, but was finally arrested without damage.and the mother and child were dug out uninjured, exhibiting proofs of the convenience of snow drifts where horses are fed too high. fjr- The Northern Illinois and Wisconsin railroads are greatly embarrassed with snow. The Chicago Tress of the 28th ult, announces the first arrival of a mail from Galena in a whole week. The Illinois Central, Kock Island and Fond du Lac roads have been so much blocked up in places as to render them impassable. The latter road had not passed a train over it in ten days. On the Milwaukie and Mississippi road, some few passenger trains were running occasionally, but freight trains had stopped entirely. The stocks of several Western railroads took a decided rise in Wall street, New York, last week. Two hundred and seventy thousand dollars' worth were disposed of at an average nearly par. The highest sale was Illinois Central, at VL2: and the lowest was Toledo, at 87. The sale closed en several buyers anxious to invest Qr The Republicans of New York City, have entered into the most thorough and syFtematic organization, ever gotten up in the State for political purposes. Strong committees have been appointed in each ward to act for one year on all occasions where the good of the party can be promoted. Similar movi roents are being made in all the principal cities in the State. OCT The New York Leader, in "blowing up" the foreign correspondents of the other city papers, says that several of these literary gentlemen may be seen every day on the street, while they are delighting their readers with their missives, dated Paris, and containing full accounts of life and doings on the Continent. (7- It is testified to in the trial of Huntington, by a book-keeper of a firm that was in the practice of accommodating him with loans for the purpose of shaving notes, that he paid sometimes, for sums of five or ten thousand dollars, one per cent, a day, saying that was half he made. It is no monder that so many of that class of dealers get "busted" and become "morally insane." 03-The Madison Courier of Tuesday says, "The prospect ahead for coal in frightful what little there is here goes at forty cents a bushel." Our citizens can contrast their advantages with those of ourighboring city, Madison, and be prepared in some measure to appreciate the blessing brought to our door through the indefatigable industry of Mr. Ker-sterman.
