TERRIBLE EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL. Wonderful Kffacta of Dyaamlt ol Soll- rtlfltd Ulycerlao Immense Hooka K Mocked Into Cobble-atonee by a land fill of it. A nnraerapb has been going the round of the papers to the elleot that the Prussian military chemists had succeeded in precipitating the ex plosive liquid nitro-glycerine in tne 60Ud,tortn. t lias been known now tor a numoerot months, and has received the very appropriate name of dynamite, on account of the extraordinary amount ot explosive power wuicn is stored up in it. Its invention is due to Mr. Alfied Nobel, the gentleman who first made the manufacture and use of nitro glycerine perfectly safe and practicable. Dynamite is a eomewoat moist powder, very closely resembling raw beet-root sucnr : is quite inodorous aud unchanged in the air, even though the air be very warm. A person nad it exposed lor lorty days ana nignts to a temperature ranging lrom 180 to 200 de gret s Fahrt nheit, without any sensible change resulting in its weiuht, explosiveness, or any other of its chemical and physical proper ties. Ot its perfect satety there is no room tor entertaiLiug a doubt; at all events, no person wno lias used it. or seen it used, entertaius nny. It a hanoful, or even a shovelful of it is thrown ui on a ere, vou may staua ciooe oy witn im punity, as it will burn away as simply and arnile.-sly as a similar quantity ot powdered brimstone. Or take a dynamite cartridge, cut it through with a sharp knile, and, holding one of the pieces in the hand, ignite aul continue to hold it until the Are reaches the end of the naoer caitndgo case. There is sipiply ratid combustion, l o explosion. Then tne leader may uuuursiuuu mui, ueiti muue Will not expiooe iuib uyuaume. iii;iiuer wu anv ordinary nercus-sion, if unassisted. How then, it may be asked, is the substance to' be exploded 7 uy tue comoiueu inuueuce or tne neat of a spur ana perciusion at tne same moment ot time. This comoinaiion ot rorce is obtained by exploding an extra strong percus sion cap, or a small bag of gunpowder, in absolute contact with the dynamite. To explode the percussion tap it is necessary that it should be fitted tightly upon the end of a guttapercha fuse. The rapidity aud power oi an explosion bv menus ot dvuainite are something terrnic. It is'calculated that the rapidity ot the explosion is as great as 20,UU0 leet per Epcond; and by comparing the mecuanical or eruptive work which, it does, it is kuoa'u to possess irom nve to seven times as much explosive force as gun powder. This must be the case, wuen it is known that its powder is to that of nitro elycenne as 70 is to 100. Iu burning or explod ing it yields no smoke; if burned iu the open inr it yields a light name, very lue that from burn'ng spirits of wine. It is not affected by damp, and may be exploded in contact witli wet rock or under water if well compressed, but it is better then to explode it iu water-prool tubiue. fooie fx pi rinieiiul blasting operations with Dynamite upon hard whiui-tone or trap rock recently took place, und weie perfectly stas.'gjrmg in their rttuBs. One of the expeiniients was with a large ma's of the rock, weighing perhaps from tin to niteen tons. It wan broken up into pieces ot n. ore suitable size without bomig any hale w hatever, but simply by exi lodinga quantity ot Byr fimite about equal in bulk to one's two flsts (l erhaps less thau lhat) upon the surlace ol the nias the Dynamite being previously covered with clay. An effect of a most exiraordiuary thai ai ter was simultaneously produced. An- o' hci mas of whiustoue, about one-iitth of the t-ize of the large ma-s, was lying parallel to it, and about V or 2 fort from it. The lesser block was hroken into fevetal pieces also "broken with frith'." as the mauaeer of thoj (iiiurrv magically put it. If used in hoie-noles for blasting solid rooks, Dynimite scarcely nee Is any tam criug or stemming; and it cicris such an enormous amount ot eruptive I ree lhat lower bore-holes, and these, of le-s size, are lequireu thunjor gunpowder. It would a'niost see in in h the days ot gunpowder were well niL'li nnnineteci. so Uras military engineer inc. aud bias-ting iu quarries, mines, tunnels, and railav r ck cuttings are concrnat. Ic will shiver to pieces cabt iron, kuu metaU, or (lie toughest t tuber, and ar aud break wioiitrht iron. That it will do so. the follo w- i:il' fact niHv be meutioned: A small tin ease was piutially filled with dynamite, and under neath it, at a lew lncues' instance, a niece ol hail-iucb boiler-plate wai placed. Tho dyua n. ii u minded, und it wai afterwards found that the plate was riddled with holes, which were due to tbo passage of fragments of tin plate through it.

Blxty miles of rck have been laid this spring, and the whole Una between the Atlantlo and PactOo States Is being pushed forward more rapidly than ever before. More than twenty thousand men are employed, and It la not Impossible that the entire track, from Omaha to Sacramento, will be finished In 1869 Instead of 1(70. The means provided are ample, and all that energy, men and money can do to secure the completion et this GREAT NATIONAL WORK At the earliest possible day, will be done. The UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY receive: I.-A GOVFHN5IEKT GRANT of the right of way , and all necessary timber and other ma terials ioutd along the Hue of its operations. I I.-A OVFKNMENT WltANT of 12,800 acres of laud to the mile, taken In alternate sections on each side ot Its road. This Is an absolute donation, and will be a source of large revenue In the future. III. -A GOVERNMENT GRANT Of United States Thirty-year Bonds, amounting to from (16,000 to tie.000 per mile, according to the dim cultles to be surmounted on the various sections to be built. The Government takes a second mortgage as security, and It Is expeoted lhat not only the Interest but the principal amount may be paid In service tendered by the Company in transporting troops, malls, etc The Interest Is now much more than paldlu this way, besides securing a great saving In time and money to the Government. I V. -A GOVERNMENT GRANT Of the right to issue Its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, to aid In building the road, to the same amount as the U. B. Bonds, Issued for the same purpose, and no more. THE GOVERNMENT PERMITS the Trustees for the First Mortgage Bondholders to deliver the Bonds to the Company only as the road Is completed, and after It has been ex amined by United Btates Commissioners and prouounced to be In all respects a first-class Railroad, laid with a heavy Trail, and com pletely supplied with depots, stations, turnouts, car-Bhops, locomotives , cars, etc. V. -A CAPITAL STOCK SUBSCRIPTION from the stockholders, of which over Sight Mil. lion Dollar) have been paid lu upon the work already done, and which will be Increased aa the wants of the Company require. VI. NET CASH EARNINGS on Its Way Bust. nets, that already amouut to MORS THAN THE INTEREST on the First Mortgage Bonds, These earnings are no Indications of the vast through trallio that must folljw the opening of the line to the Paolilo, but they certainly prove that First Mortgage Bonds Upon such a property costing nearly three time thtlr amount, Are Secure Ueyoud any Contingeiicj. The Comparjy have abundant means In their trea sury, aud make no appeal to the public to purchase their BondB, as the dally subscriptions are entirely satisfactory; but they submit lhat, for eutlre security and liberal returns, there Is certainly no better la vestment in the market. The Union Pacific Bonds are for 1 1 000 each, and bave coupons attached. They bave thirty years to run , and bear annual interest, payable on the first duys of January. and July, at the Company's OUlce, In the City of New York, at the rale of six per cent. In gold. The Principal Is payable In gold at ma turity. At the present rate of Gold, these bonds pay an annual Income on iheir cost ot NEARLY NINE PER CENT. The Company reserve the right to advance the rate at any time, and will not fill any orders or receive any subscriptions on which the money has not been actually paid at the Company's ollice before the time of such advance.
