Paine's Great Discoyery.
In order to let our readers hear all sides
ns to the interestingquestion whether Paine's
discovery be genuine or not, we quote the
following extracts from a letter sent us by a
respeCted Correspondent, The letter was
not intended for publication, but our friend
will pardon the liberty we take with him.
The objection he states we have heard be
fore from more than one source, and we
• suppose it is one which will suggest itself
"io every man at all acquainted with the re
cognized principles of Natural Science.
'Being in Washington three weeks since,
I asked.. Professor Henry what he thought
of it. Ile said, Nothing—for it was in op
position to one general law, that the force
exerted by the bodies separated could not
be greater than that required to separate
them, and this he illustrated by a single ex
ample, which I saw ums merely the type
of a thousand that might' be furnished. .For
tnstance, a stone is attracted to the earth to
khe extent of its weight, say 100 pounds.
To separate the two will require 'a force
:somewhat exceeding 100 pounds. Let it
fdropandrit7tVill _give n power:rather less _I
han the force required to raise it. A rock j
Nin the top of a mountain, that may be pushed i
over with the hand, will fall with a certain I
force. Measure it, and it will be found to I
- lielust - so - much - less - than -the-power-whiehl
had been, or would be, required to raise it.
.as the friction of the:Machinery. Two atoms
•of gas adhere, in the form of water, and j
their adhesiveness is say 50 pounds. To
separate them, you require a little more
than.so pounds of power. When supra- .
ted, they tend to come together. with the
same force as before, which is a little foss
than the power which had been used to se
parate them, and more than that they can
not exert.
"Mr. Paine proposes by the a id a t ma il
weights to separate bodies that are to give
great power after they are separated. If
he has discovered this secret he has disco
vered much more, for he has an entire now
system of Philosophy to create. The earth
is attracted to the 61111 under the law that
mention, which is the great law, and must
be proved to be false before that of Mr.
Paine can be true.'
"While on the subject, I will give you
the very simple view given to me four years
since by professor llenry, on the subject of
electricity as a moving power. It was i
ven at the time when the papers were filled
with .notices of the operations' of a great
company in Uermany, that was about to so
pers.ede the use of fuel, as Mr. Paine is now
about to do. But the company died away,
after wasting a very large amount of capi
tal in absurd experiments.
tt Ile told me that he constructed the first
electric carriage. and carried it through so
far ns to satisfy himself that it was a mere
toy and could be nothing more—and the
reason that it was so teas that electricity
was only an indirect use of fuel, and there
fore, more expensive than the direct one.
Copi'cr, zinc, and aci.l represent fuel, and
Si) obtain by their aid a great amount of
:power required more fuel than would
'duce the same power by its direct applica
tion to the water. The metals and acids
are Iyhat may be known as middlemen and
we all hnow that the more of than there
are interposed between the preducer and
the consumer, the less is the power of both.
"Two years since, the English papers
rang with another nut dissimilar discovery.
You Ii now that by the slow action of the
hydrostatic pump, a small power is miide
to produce a great Meet in a long time.
The discovery consisted in obtaining the
great power in little time—precisely as if a
loan were to discover a mode of raising as
much with a short lever as with a long one,
without any increase - of the power applied.
It was asserted that it had been sfibmitted
to the Lords of the Treasury and other otli
cers/of Government, and had succeeded un
der repeated trials—and the secret consis
ted of the intervention of a great deal of ma
chinery between the operator and the thing
to be operated upon, all of which must have
diminished instead of increasing the power,
by increasing the friction. The di s covery
passed away as that of Mr. P. must do, un•
less the known laws of nature are to be su
perseded by a new system."
these objections Mr. Paine's answer
is, that he has discovered new laws and a
stew method of applying electricity to wa
ser. The whole of Professor henry's rea
:soning obviated by the assertion that Mr.
P. does not separate the gasses, but prod u
.ces them cotemporaneously from two sepa
rate bodies of wnter, converting one of these
bodies entirely into oxygen and the other in
to hydrogen gas, according as the positive
or the'negative pole of his electrical machine
is inserted into either. Thus from the wa
ter yielding oxygen no hydrogen is pro=
cloned, and vice versa.
Mr. Paine claims to generate electricity.
not by. a galvanic battery, but by means of
ordinary magnets, except that into the heli
ces he has introduced a substance never
before employed for that purpose. What
this substance is, is the secret, and the only
:secret which he does not now communicate
to the public. The process itself is open to
:the'examinntion of any one who may desire
to see it. We yesterday. conversed with
an intelligent gentleman who had visited
Worcester for the express purpose of ex
amining into the alleged discovery, and who
assured us that after using _ every means to
detect imposition, he had become satisfied
that there was none whatever. He himself
produced hydrogen in liberal quantities,
from n jar of water which he placed upon a
table, entirely isolated from every other
source from which gas could be derived ;.
lie even went so far as to
. detach the ma
chine fronr'the clOck.worlc. by 'which it is
usually put in motion, and turned it with
his own - hands. . came away convinced
of the 'genuineness of the discovery, and
only uncertain as to whether it could be lip
plied (an sufficiently large scale to perform
the entire lighting and heating of a great
city like New-York or toulon.
But the opinion of an individual can have
effiNt iu settling the public thindleF to
whether Mr. Paine has produced the might
iest discovery yet made or only a grand - and
ingenious humbug. That question cannot,
be answered by abstract reasoning or gene
ral assertions on either side, but only by a
conclusive experiment on such a scale and.
in such a manner as to silence every doubt.
Such an experiment we are happy to say
is now on foot.—Arrangements are in pro
gress for lighting the Aston house by this
•process, and it is expected that the trial
will be made within a month, as soon indeed
as the machine can be prepared for the
purpose. That establishment is now ligh
ted by gas, made my its proprietors op the
premises,, and has no connection with any
gas cowpony whatever. The pipes and
burners now used are perfectly adapted to
burn Mr. Paine's carbonated hydrogen ; all
that• will be necessary, will be to detach
them, from the present apparatus and join
them to the new one. The experiment will
be tried under the eye of the proprietors and
other gentleinen, and collusion or triek will
be impossible. Every means will be taken
to ensure a fair trial, all the parties being
as desirous of success as Mr. Paine or his
friends_ can .succeeds,.-.the--thingT
will be established. If it fails, that will be
the end of the affair.
This experiment is to be made to satisfy
n number of highly respectable and respon
rsilite-partirs-who-propose-to-buy—in—the-
: patent right in case of success. The condi
' tions are . that. Mr. Paine shall bring; a ma
chine of his construction to New-York and
produce at a nominal expense, say five cents
per thousand cubic feet, gas enough to light
the Astor House for six successive nights.—
Before he commences, the parties in ques
tion are to deposit one hundred thousand
dollars with seine person acceptable to the l i
proprietor—John C. l'edrich, Esq. of Bos
ton, who has aided Mr. Paiie in carrying
on his experiments for the past two years—
to be paid over to Mr. P. as soon as On; trial
is declared successful. This is by way of
bonus or guarantee, in case there should be
a failure to pay over to him the sum of One
illion which is to render those parties part
proprietors of the invention, The value of
the patent for the LT : tilted States (the city of
Worcester excepted, which is reserved for
Mrs. Paine) is fixed at ten millions of dollars,
and a joint stock Company is to be formed
to manage it. In this Company Mr. Pod
rick is to hold from one-third le one-half the
stock ; on the remaining part which he sells,
the million handed over immediately on the
success- of the experiment-is to- be -eonsid- .
civil an installment, and the balance is to be
made up by sales of rights. Thus the par
ties buying in will receive no dividends un
til Mr. Pedrick sliall have been fully paid.
Such is the arrangement agreed upon be
tween Mr. Pod rick and these gentlemen.—
lf the trial here should prove successful, it
will no doubt be carried into effect ; if not,
the New-York speculators will lose nothing,
and the invention will be heard of no more
at present. We devoutly hope for a sue
! cessitil -result, thetiodi we shall not lie V ery
keenly disappoimed by a failure.—.'m. 7'.
'Sketch of the Life of John Fite:a.
There is sufficient in the life of this dis
tingnished man, (ruin which to form au ex
ceedingly interesting novel. Truth is stran
ger than fiction in many cases, but especially
so in this. W have seen all the partictOars
of his early life ; those he transferred to pa
per, and deposited in the Pennsylvania I.i•
Mary, in Philadelphia. where they may
dill he referred to. Fitch was a Mai ye of
New Jersey, and was burn in the year
Ile was settled ut Trenton &trill , the period
oldie revolution, nod manufactured firearms
for the use of the American soldiers. When
the British invaded Jersey, he was compelled
to lly Mr his life. The red coats destroyed
his workshops, burnt his toolS, and seized
his muskets. Ile sought refuge in Penn-
sylvania, and went to Bensalem, a small
town in Bucks county, in that State. In
the year 1791, he separated from his wife,
becausd She joined the Methodist Church,
a denomination which he never liked.
Fitch caught his first idea of the applica
tion of steam power 'from the turning of a
carriage wheel, in Fit•Aand in Bucks coun
ty he made his first experiment. He man
ufactured his model in the old work-shop of
Cole Scouts, in Bensalem, and laid it before
th consit.,2radon of Congress the same'year.
He published his pamphlet against Rumsey
in 1758. When in Philadelphia, he was
introduced to Drs. Rittenhouse, Say, Bright,
and Joseph Rudil,• Jr., all of whom aided
him much in his undertaking. 11 is work
against Rumsey may now be seen in the
public libraiies of Philadelphia. •
Mr. Fitch visited France, at the request
of our Consul at Paris, Mr. Vail, and the
latter gentleman disclosed the tvhole of
Fitch's plan to Mr. Robert Fulton, who was
at that time sojourning in that city.
The folly of his going-to France, enabled
his enemies to ruin him. The got from
him' that which lie had been'so taiflrthoring
to accomplish. They' robbed him of the
!toner of the invention, Which has been con
sitlered the greatest triumph of genius in
modern times.
M r. Fitch came out toKentucky as a sur
veyor in 1780, and located lands in the coun
ties of Jefferson, Nelson, Lincoln and Fay
ette. lie lived in the town. of Bardstown,
and became quite dissipated before his
death. We have seen it stated that he
gave away all of his lands to his landlord in
consideration that he should keep him in
food and liquor. Ile was, however, to
have."sixty years of indulgence," in which
time he might redeem them. Fitch left
two sons in Connecticut, and has a nephew
at Sharon, Center county, Ohio. He has
left his poWer of attorney with a lawyer in
BtickS County; in 1780. This son of the
law never did anything for him, and he be
came naturally disheartened and chagrined.
Ile took laudanum finally and died at Bards
town, Kentucky, where he is now buried.

that some time back, a lady named Allen,
living in the vicinity of Liberty, was mur

negress. The object was to obtain $l,OOO
and the allegation was, that before tlw crime
was perpetrated, a bargain was struck, to
the effect, that the parties should be married
and emigrate to California. The St. Louis
Intelligencer gives the following result of
the shocking affair :

Disastrous Fire in Columbia.
CoLunn's, Lancaster county, Pa., Jane 17
Our town was thrown into the greatest
pn:L: I) le excitement last night, by the break
ing out of a lire in a hovel on the Railroad.
From the inflamable materials the fire spread
with frightful rapidity.
It was about half past ten when the Ii c
broke out, and in less 'than two hours, the
whole Hock of buildings along ‘Valont street
to within one house of the corner of Locust
street, consuining all the houses and lumber
between the railroad and the river. So se
rious was the lire, that at one time it was .
thought almost impossible to save the lower
car-house, which was several times on lire,
and only saved from destruction by the
greatest exertions of our firemen. Ilad
he car-house been destroyed, the Colum
bia bridge would have certainly gone ; as it
was, the bridge was twice on fire, and stood
in imminent danger. In the track of the
fir- there Were five or six lumber yards, and
the amount of lumber destroyed is very
large. The greater portion of it was owned
by rafunen. Mr. Hamilton is also a heavy
loser in this particular.
This morning the scene presents quite a
desolate jappearance. Here and there uie
seen poor men, women, and children, endea
voring to recover some of their property from
the ruins. At least 27 families are rende
red houseless by this disaster. Not a Ivan
of any of the buildings is left standing.
It is not known precisely how the fire
originated—but it is supposed that ruin was
the cause. It is almost impossible to tell
the amount of loss, but I think you can safe
ly set it down at $45,000. There was about
$20,000 worth of lumber alone destroyed. •
