A Cajwkw bj Usiso Kerosene.—Now that
the great competition in the manufacture of coal
or Kerosene oil has minced the price, and conse-
increased the liability to throw an inferior
article on the market, we may be doing our read.-
era a service by printing the following facts recent
ly elicited at a Coroner inquest in New York.—
Mrs. Siddons. having been burnt to death by the
explosion ofacanof Kerosene oil, with which she
attempted to kindle a fire, and it being generally
understood that Kerosene oil was not explosive,
the coroner ghve the case a thorough examination.
The farts shown were principally in the testimony
of George Mowty, of Titusville,
He testified that he was a refiner of petroleum;
has been a manufacturing chemist for twenty-six
years; is the first who introduced the petroleum
oil from Pennsylvania into New York. The wit
ness then pouted out about four ounces of each of
the oils produced by Dr. Peard. I’he Kerosene
oil did not ignite. The oil sold to the deceased;’
ignited instantaneously. An oil manufactured by
Mr. Kelly, of Green Point, ignited immediately. ;
Another aample purchased at Mr. Kelly’s works
by a juryman, did not ignite. The mixture of
benzole or benzine and heavy oil, ignited easily.
The witness then testified that, in the process of
refining, on extremely light fluid, termed improp
erly Benzine, Benzoic or Naptha, bat which is
new to chemists, comes over first. After this a
mixture of various (fils supposed by many to be
very numerous, but really only a few,, comes over,
and lastly heavy oil and paraffine; these latter at
a temperature of melting lead; the lost portions
and the first, that is the benzine, and paraffine are
rejected, while the intermediate oils are reserved,
and often after a treatment with solpheric acid,
soda, aad washiag, are delivered to the trader, as
illuminating oil. If| however, through cupidity or
ignorance the manufacturer adds the first portions
that run over, to the intermediate portions, an ex
plosive oil is the result, dangerous precisely in pro
portion to the quantity Of benzine that has been
added. A test for such explosive oil would be the
application of a match, as shown by the jury still
better would be the wanning of the oil to a tem
perature of 100 deg., and then offering a lighted
match; if it ignited it shonld be rejected.
The following test was proposed before Die jury
os the easiest method of detecting impute kerosene:
Four oat s teaspoonfall and immerse in it a light
ed match, and if it will take fire before the tem
perature is raised to 110 degrees, then the oil is
explosive. ■

atbre and buoyancy of spirits previously displayed
by li umbers of the Secession residents—bothmen

The feet of Gen. Shield’s command having been
screened from observation on the east side of the
town, led the informants of Jackson to believe
that all our troops were evacuating, and that Jack
son could enter unobstructed. This evidence is
derived from the prisoners.
Good judges estimate the enemy’s lossatbver
two hundred killed, five hundred wonnded, and
three hundred prisoners, including an aid-de-camp
of Jackson’s staff.
Oar loss was one hundred and fifty killed and
about three hundred wonnded.
LATEST PARTICULARS.
Winchester, March 25.—The details of the
fight on Sunday record more deeds of personal his
toiy and daring than any battle in histoA.
Captain Shriber, aid and inspector of General
Shield’s division, while riding to the crest of a hill
to the left of Stone Ridge, in company with two
orderlies, was confronted by five rebel cavaliy, who
emptied their revolvers, killing the two orderlies.
Capt. Sliriber charged on them, running one through
to the hilt of the sword, and receiving a ball through
the cap, but escaped unhurt.
Capt. Perkins, the chief of; General Banks’staff,
was mainly instrumental in planning the attack,
and performed deeds of skill anil valor.
The twelfth rebel regiment engaged were all
Vuginians, including the Ist, 2nd, 4th, 13th, 23rd,
42nd and 32nd Virginia regiments, and one pro
visional.and one Irish regiment. They had the
assistance of Ashby’s cavaliy, and two ’eight gun
batteries, one six gtm batfeiy, and one four gun
battery, making twenty-six gnns, among which
were some of the captured Bull Run pieces.
■ The four color bearers of the sth Ohio were suc
cessively killed, when Capt. Witcomb seized the
colors, and prepared sword in hand to defend them.
He fell with a shot through the head.
A youthful rebel fell, receiving two wounds in
the breast. When he was approached by one of
our officers, he enquired if the officer knew Gen.
Banks. He received an affirmative reply. “ Tell
him I want to take the oath of allegiance,” said
the boy, “for I have three brothers in the federal
service, and I want them to know that J died true
to the Union.’’
Gen. Shields’ arm was badly shattered, and
owing to the imperfect setting it first received, he
most undergo the painful operation of having it
re-set.
-This morning many of the bodies of both Union
and rebel soldiers remained on the field, but they
have since been interred.
Many of the wounded have died since having
been brought to this city. *
The ladies of this town are busy furnishing the
wonnded with comforts. B *
The ladies connected with the theatre, which is j
now occupied as a hospital, ate also assidious in I
j meir attendance to the sufferers.
The latest reports to-night represent all quiet in
the neigborhood of Strasbnrg.
It Is reported that two sons bf the late John A.
Washington were in Sunday’s fight, and both were
wounded, while one was, taken a prisoner.
From Lieut. Morrow, of F ranks town, who came
home on the Fast Line last evening, having been
wounded in the foot, we gather the following in
formation concerning the killed and wounded of
the 84th regiment.
Col. Murray was struck by three balls. The
first carried away the. oilcloth covering of his cap
bnt did him no injury. The second struck exactly
in the centre of the bugle on the front of his cap,
and passed through his head, killing him ins^utly.
The third struck him the thigh as.he was being
earned from the field. ■ His remains arrived in
Harrisburg on Wednesday where they will remain
until to-morrow (Friday) when they will be for
warded to Hollidaysbug on the Mail Train.-
Capt. Galiaher, of Williamsburg, was struck
by a minnie ball above the left eye and instantly
killed. Lieut. Reem, of Franks town, and privates
Paul Long, from near HoUldaysbnrg, Brubaker,
from near Altoona, and Joseph Miller, from Wil
liamsburg, were also killed. Twenty-throe of the
84th regiment were killed, but the shove are all
the names we have.
Lient. Holliday, of Tipton, Lieut, Morrow, of
'Frankstown, and privates Wilson andHikman,
pf the latter place, and Hancock, of Williamsburg
are among the wonnded.
We have heard of a number of instamyg of no
ble daring and narrow escapes on the part of the
gallant men of the 84th and UOth, bnt we have
not space to chronicle them tins week. We will
do them justice in oar next, by which time we ex

<®"The little Monitor, without a ram, could
fight and capture the largest wooden armed ship
that ever or the Merrimac could aink her
with her ram in fifteen minutes.
d3”The matter of miming away has been re
duced to a science by the rebels. At Newbern, as
soon os they heard of the approafii of the Yan
kees, they got a train ready, and as soon as they
were whipped, they jumped into the cars, and ran
off at the rate of twenty miles per hoar. That
beats Floyd’s style.
