THE JOURNAL.
Huntingdon, Wednesday, Fehruny 17, 1817,
- GEN. IRVIN.—We observe by the pa
pers, that the Harrisburg Union has
charged Gen. Irvin with voting, while
in Congress, to tax tea and coffee. This
charge is as malicious and infamous a
LIE, as the assertion made in the same
paper, in 1844, that Jas. K. Polk was a
" friend of the 'farad 1842," and that
a " near neighbor" of Mr. Poik had so
informed the editor at Baltimore. The
Pa. Intelligences may safely challenge
the "proof." Gen, Irvin not only voted
and spoke against taxing tea and coffee,
but he labored sedulously among his fel•
low members for the defeat of the prop ,
osition
The same charge was brought
against Gen. I. when a candidate for re
election to Congress in this district; but
after hearing the accusation and the de
fence, the people branded the charge a
SLANDER, and re-elected Gen. Irvin by
a largely increased majority.
FIRES.—The stabling at Canoe Fur
nace, near Williamsburg, Blair county,
together with n large quantity of hay and
straw, and some horse gears, was con-
Burned by fire on Friday night last.
We also learn that a dwelling house
on Mill Creek, in this county, occupied
by Mr. John Carroll, was destroyed by
fire a few days ago, with all the furni
ture it contained.
RELIEF FOR IRELA:..I).-A meeting was
held at Washington city last week, to
adopt measures for the relief of the
starving population of Ireland. Vice
President Dallas presided. Hon. Daniel
Webster reported and read a series of
resolutions, calling upon the whole coun
try to contribute to the aid of the suffer
ing poor in Ireland. We hope the call
will be generously responded to, and that
this town and vicinity will make imme
diate arrangements to contribute to this
humane project liberally. That a por
tion of the poor of Ireland are daily dy
ing from starvation, there is no longer
any doubt, and therefore whatever is to
be done for their relief, should be done
now.
EP- The Globe does not praise, but
condemns with great caution, the recent
letter of General Taylor in relation to
the Mexican war. The editor ventures,
however, to write down the old warrior,
Gen. Gaines, to whom the letter was
sent, "a weak minded individual ;" and
then quotes from a Locofoco paper to
show that Gen. Taylor's complaints are
unwarranted and unjust. Whenever our
neighbor receives any unexpected " sub
stantials" for sneering at Gaines, or
calling in question the veracity of " Old
Rough and Ready," we hope he will in
form the public of it.
VETO MESSAGE.—Gov. Shunk has sent
a message to the Legislature, vetoing
the bill to incorporate the Pennsylvania
Railroad Iron Manufacturing Company,
for the reason, as he alleges, that the
individual liability clause is left out of
the act. The message, the Intelligon
cer says, is a labored argument in sup
port of the views of his party on the
subject.
GEN. TAVLOTI.-1n the Virginia House
of Delegates, on the Bth inst., resolu-
tions of thanks to Gen. Taylor and his
gallant army, were passed unanimously,
for their gallantry at Palo Alto, Reseca
de la Palma, and Monterey. They also
directedowords to be presented to Gen.
Taylor, Col. Mathew M. Payne, and to
Col. John Garland, all natives of Vir
ginia, for their gallantry and good con
duct in the engagements in which they
have participated. This is worthy of a
Virginia Legislature !
VrAmong a variety of " funny things"
which we find in last week's Globe, is
the assertion that the idea of running
Gen. Taylor for the Presidency is a
"foolish notion." This is really amu
sing. Our neighbor would doubtless
think it the heighth offoolishocss to hear
the people shouting "Huzza for Old
Rough and Ready l" " Go it Zee !" &c.,
&c. It would certainly be a very annoy
ing noise to Locofocoism, yet it may
have to hear its death-knell rung in
sounds something similar to this,

enlarged and improved. It will now
compare well with any literary paper
published in Philadelphia.
WAR OR PEACE.
There are three distinct propositions
before Congress, all having reference
to the desirable and desired object of
bringing that unhappy war to a close.
One is the President's, and asks an
appropriation of three millions, to be
used in some mysterious way, whirls
the President will not fully explain. All
we are told about it is, by Mr. Sevier,
the chairman of the Senate's Committee
on Foreign Relations, that the Presi
dent has been for a long time in corres
pondence with somebody in Mexico, by
which correspondence he learns, and is
satisfied, that peace can be got by the
aid of these three millions. This is all
Mr. Sevier tells us as from the Presi
dent. On his own account he adds that
there can be no peace except on the con
dition that Mexico gives up to us Cali
fornia and New Mexico ; whence we are
left to infer that fir New Mexico and
California we are to abandon all the
other conquests we have made, all claim
for the expenses of the war, all our
other money claims, and pay these three
millions into the bargain. In other
words, that for New Mexico and Cali
fornia, we are to sacrifice fifty, sixty,
a hundred millions of dollars, as the
case may be. This is one proposition.
The second is Mr. Berrien's. It con
sists of a declaration, by the Senate,
that the desire or intention of Congress,
in prosecuting the war, is not to dis
member the Mexican Republic, or ob
tain any portion of that Republic's ter
ritory by conquest. This, it will be
seen, is diametrically opposed to the
President's.
The third proposition is known as the
Wilmot proviso. It addresses itself to
the Government and the slave-holding
interests, of which the Government is
considered the organ ; and, like Mr. Ber
rien's, it proposes to act by taking away
inducements for the continuance of the
These three projects will form, as we
suppose, the subject of long and highly
important discussions in both houses of
Congress. We have thought it well to
present them distinctly, and together,
before our readers.
[ID'. The Globe hurls the epithet of
" Tory" at us with a fierceness that looks
very much like desperation. But when
we reflect a moment, it is not so very
severe to be called a Tory by the Hunt
ingdon Globe after all. It must be re
collected that that paper defends all the
i nets of Jas. K. Polk—and that he is the
only American citizen who has given
" aid and comfort" to the enemy. This
the President admits in his message,
when lie pleads guilty to the charge
of having given SANTA ANNA per
mission to pass our Blockading Squad
ron into Mexico—thus furnishing the
enemy with an experienced and formi
dable leader. The Globe has not dared
to even hint a word of condemnation of
this treasonable act of the Executive,
although we have frequently called its
attention to it. But to get out of his
dilemma, our neighbor sets up the "stop
thief" cry of " Tory" against all who
dare exercise the freeman's right of call
ing in question the acts of the Presi
dent !
The Globe denies having stigmatized
the Hon. John Blanchard as a " traitor
to his country," and calls upon us to
point out the " article" containing this
charge. We do not know that those
were the exact words used, but that the
charge was implied, we think can be
maintained. The editor of the Globe
will not deny,we suppose,that he charged
Mr. Blanchard with circulating "tort'
documents"—and how he could be en
gaged in this business, without turning
against his country, we are at a loss to
determine. If the Globe withdraws its
charge made upon Mr. 8., then it must
take back its unmeaning twattle about
Mr. Gentry's speech being a " tory doc
ument" also.
The editor of the Globe need not be
the least alarmed about getting into an
"angry controversy" with us. Although
he appears somewhat wrathy at us, we
assure him that we are perfectly cool—
wedo not belong to the thin skinned por
tion of humanity, to be ruffled by every
little breeze. But we feel quite as ready
as our neighbor to resent " misrepresen
tations," and should therefore thank him
to specify the "numerous unwarrantable
I personal attacks" he charges us with
making "upon natives of this district."
We deny this charge, and aver that it is
without any foundation whatever. We
therefore expect our neighbor will either
produce his proof or withdraw it.

to the stock of that improvement
In its original shape, the bill autho
rized all corporations to subscribe to the
stock of this company; but in this shape
it met with opposition, and it was so
amended as to confine subscriptions to
municipal corporations. In this shape
it was up on Thursday and Saturday,
and even then met with a factious oppo
sition from Mr. Kline, a member from
the county. Several indirect votes have
been given on the bill, which indicate
pretty certainly that it will pass the
House at all events.
A number of bills arc before the House
for the formation of new counties. That
to be formed out of parts of Berks, Mont
gomery and Chester, to be called Madi
son, seems to excite the most interest.
This proposes to wake up ninny long
and established associations, and conse
quently meets with obstinate opposition.
On Thursday, Mr. Myers, of Reading,
made a speech of some force, and no
little elegance, against the bill. He is
a printer, and promises to figure in life.
It is doubtful whether this county will
be formed, and vet one cannot guess
very well in such a matter. There are
bills, I think, for five other new counties
before the Legislature, and by a combi
nation of the friends of them, a strong
party may be formed. Were it not for
this, Madison would stand a poor chance.
The new county of Lackawanna, to be
formed out of parts of Luzerne, will be
made, I think. There seems to belittle
or no opposition to it.
Quite an interesting debate arose in
the House on yesterday, on the bill to
exempt the real estate of married women
from the debts of their husbands. The
hill originated with Mr. Knox, and the
debate which was had on it, on yester
day, threw some suspicions around it,
which makes its passage throAgh the
House problematical, Mr. Piollet stren
uously opposed the bill, and some taunt
ing words passed between him and Mr.
Knox. Some suppose this apparent dif
ference between these two gentlemen is
a sham fight, got up for the purpose of
leading the Whigs into the support of
the bill, which these worthies think will
be unpopular, and result in consequent
injury to the Whig party. I give this
as an on (lit, having little faith in it my
self. The bill was defeated in the House
to-day, by a pretty strong vote.
The bill repealing the charter of the

not changed, so far as my knowledge
extends, but rather confirmed. This
state of things has begotten hopes among
the majority of the Whigs to which they
have been strangers for some time.—
Many see, in these friendly events, signs
of a Whig triumph in this State, and as
a consequence, much prosperity to the
people. Since I have mingled with po

GUN COTTON,
FRIEND CLARK:—This great curiosity
has of late occupied the attention of'
ninny chemist?, and amongst all that has
been said and written of it, I have not
yet seen a chemical explanation given,
of the process by which it is obtained.
I am sensible of my inability to give this
explanation scientifically, but I am de ,
termined to hazard the attempt.
There are several modes of obtaining
gun cotton, but the most effective one is
the immersion of the raw cotton in the
acid obtained by the distillation of salt
petre with oil of vitriol. When One equiv
alent of nitrate of potassa (saltpetre) is
dissolved with two eqvs. of protohydra ,
ted sulphuric acid, protohydrated nitric
acid distills over, and protohydrated
bisulphate of potassa forms the residue.
(KO, NOS, & 2SO, HO, = NOS, HO, &
KO, a SCR HO.) If the weights in.
dicated by the above mentioned eqvs. be
taken of nitre that is moist, and oil of
vitriol not of full strength, then the
nitric acid that distills over, will be
weaker than protohydrated nitric acid,
(NOS HO.)
If we mix one eqv. of nitrate of pot.
'ease with one eqv. of protohydrated sul
phuric acid, we shall get, theoretically
speaking, protohydrated nitric acid as
before; but instead of bisulsphate of
potassa with water of crystallization, we
should have as a residue KO, SO3, that
is, sulphate of potassa, which is an au
hydrous salt. In point of fact, however,
these latter proportions give a red nitric
acid, which is deemed to boa real nitric
acid holding nitric oxide in solution.
The 'result may be thus explained :
The dry nitric acid set free by the sul
phuric acid for one instant, is not able
to take away enough water from the sul
phuric acid to convert it wholly into pro
tohydrated nitric acid. The part which
is protohydrated, nitric acid distills over
as such; the remainder, which cannot
get water, breaks up into nitric oxide
and oxygen. The nitric oxide distills
over with the hydrated nitric acid with
which it forms the red acid, and the
three eqvs. of oxygen are lost. Now
the proportions last indicated, are one
eq. of nitrate of potassa (KO, NOS =
102,) and one eq. protohydrated sulphu
ric acid (SON, HO, = 49) or 10 to 4, 8.
The proportions used by Dr. arro, of
Brunswick, are 10 to 6, which give more
than enough sulphuric acid to form a
sulphate, but not enough to convert the
whole into a bisulphate. Under these
circumstances, it is probable that a cer
tain proportion of the nitric acid is bro
ken up into nitric acid and oxygen, but
not so much of it as when the proportion
taken is as 102 to 49, or 10 to 4, 8. The
product you get may be nitric acid, but
at the same time an impure nitric acid of
a red color, containing nitric oxide. A
person would be naturally led to pre
sume that the additional amount of ni
trate of potassa in the proportions sug•
gested by Dr. Orr°, was for the purpose
of obtaining an excess of oxygen, to aid
combustion; but experiments prove, that
nitrogen cannot be more highly oxidated
than it exists in nitric acid ; hence the
uselessness of the superabundance of
potassa ; it being broken up in the pro
cess, for want of water to condense it.
In my next I shall be able to finish the
process by which this explosive material
is made, together with u few skeptical
opinions of its practical utility its a su
persedent of gun powder. _
