From the numerous statements that have ap-
peared in the papers in relation to the explosion
in the storeofCrocker&: Warr en at the late fire
in New York, there is an impression in the com-
inunity that chemists are divided on the ques'
tion wh'e‘ther saltpetre is explosive, especially
when they see‘ the names of those most distin-
guished in the science, paraded on opposite sides.
My own belief is that there is no real difference
of opinion, and cannot bearnoiigintclligvtll PMC-
tical chemists. Saltpetre is ii substance in com-
mon use in the chemicallahoratury,t1iit.l l been
experimented upon tliousatids oftiiiies. l-“very
chemist knows that it isrio: CC~n':l)llS_lll)l€‘, la: there-
fore not explosive in the sense that gunpowder
is. But it is equally well lgnown to chemists,
that like all the other nitrates, it is decomposed
by ared heat giving off first oxygeiiand then ni.
trogen gas. And ifthen these do not find vent,
the vessel that contains the saltpctrc must
burst. just as the boiler of a steam engine
bursts when the steam is confined‘ If proof
were wanting that sziltpr-tre is in this sense ex-
plosive I could mention that in the course ofmy
_ own eitperitnents I liave accidciitally split two
gtiiibarrels in this way, beside in one case having
the charge blown out at the muzzle, by wh icli ‘I
was wounded so as to be confined to the house
for several weeks. lam D01Sllfii(330nll}'aCC]Ut1lD'
ted with the manner in which the saltpetre was
stored at New York tojudgc whether that explo-
Sion happened in this way, but the rapid spread
ofthe fire imtnediately after it occurred loo‘ s
like it. Such would have been the inevitable re-
sults, ifa large quantity of oxygen were set free.
The difficulty lies in utidcrstanding how the gas-
ses could have been confined. lfsaltpetre is al-
lowed to cool after the oxygen has been partially
expelled frt:-rn it, it forms a hard vitreous sub-
stance, impervious to air, and the accidents that
I have mentioned may all have happened from a
rust of this kind forming at the top. before the
gasses had been wholly expelled fromfthc part
below. But whether such a crust could have been
formed in the explosion at New York would de-
pend on the niannerin which tliesaltpetre was
stored. Ifso, an explosion mu it have been the
result. _ J. H. COFFIN.
Joshua Leavitt’s Boston (Daily) Morning
Chronicle, after flickering its brief hour, has
gone out. The Emancipator, too has under-
gonea change of proprietors and the subscription
lists ofthe two papers are to be united. Itwould
bea pity to cramp Joshua’s fiery zeal in the
causc,'by short rations. The drying up of the
torrents of violence and rancor which have their
source in heads like his, would leave much more
to ap trehend from the success ofabolition move-
merits.
Tun Cornea or PROSPECT HiLL.—-\Ve, the
other day, paid a visit to the cottage just finish-
ed by Mr. L. M. Stevens, and in which his fam-
ily have just take: quarters. The situation is
one that has no equal in town . The boundless
extent of country over which the eye may wan-
der from this point to either point of the com-
pass, fills the beholder with emotions ofthe most
pleasurable nature. This view embraces both
sea and land, taking in a very considerable pro-
portiiori of Long Island and the sound. Nolcss
than 11 spires may be counted within this range
in surrounding towns. Five light houses which
dot the coast are "dlS0. distinctly 5990, While the '’Oh, let those who tltinli—-if accustomed to the
Isalnds atid harbor lie, as it were, at your feet..~
The surface ofthe earth, from this spot slopes
gently away in all directions except the north in
which there is a gentle rise. The main
floor of the house from a range which we took, is
on the same elevation with the top ofthe steeple
of St. Pauls church.
The house, was built by Mr. Giles Seymour,
and itswork mansliip,will reflect no discredit upon
his well earned reputation as a l‘i’]CCl)H'ilC. The
style is a story and 0. half, with lofty basement,
and a spacious piaza running across the front
supported by fluted columns. The design is one
of much beauty. and its appointments have been
well carried out. The effect of the whole is
good. The interior arrangement, furnishing, etc
are in good keeping. The latter is in the most
modern style, and is rich and elegant. The en-
terprise of the propreter oftliis delightful spot
entitles him to the full fruition of eiijoyinent,
which it is capable of alfoding him.

the hour appoitittd. llis appearance was much -
as ll€l‘€l0ll)!‘t.‘, Will! the exception ofa fiillen atid
softened expression of countenance, which be-
came him on so peculiar an occasion. Having
been l‘(.‘(]UCS'.CLl to speak, he gave utterance to
the following Cotift-ssiori, which was pronounced
in a firm and manly but modest tone:
Bclocerl I3’rctliren,——’l‘o me this occasion
seems so cxrraordin:iry——it is so different from
what I, and you too, had any reason to e.\'pect.l
a few days ago—that you must bear with me if
ni_v manner and my matter also should appear
rather confused. Indeed, (said the speaker,
much affectel and leaning againt the wall,) I
am not well .'
[No language could convey to the reader an
idea ofthe tone in tvhicli these last words were
uttered, nor of the thrilling effect that they had
upon his autlitor.-t.]
I say MOI‘ waLL—I speak not of physical ill-
ness, but it is liere——Olt l my Go! ! it is here-
[lie laid his hand upon his heart] who shall say
what a day may bring forth ? Ah l dearly have
I learned to appreciate the sacred injunction of
the invincible I’aul—“Lct him that tliinketli he
stantletlt, take heed lest he fall 1” l have in-
deed preached to otlters, and have myself b --
come it c-.istawa_y! If man never forgives me-
for I have no right to expect forgiveness front
man-—I. in my present low estate. do still hear
a voice from Calvary, I hear those blessed tones
of iiiercy—“;'\'ly grace is sufficit;-nt for thee !”
[Here the eloquent speaker covered his face with
his hritids, and burst into a flood of tears]
\Vho says that my disgrace is a disgrace to
the glorious cause of temperance? \-Vito says
that my unwor by apostacy—tio, no. I wi I not
use that word. Who says says that my tempta-
tion and my weakness entail dishonor upon the
great cause of which I have been so uiiwr.-rtliy
an advocate? Let such, if any there be, com-
pare the loss and the gains, Let them call up
the hosts of redeemed men and women: let
them summon the wives and children who, in
every town, by the sea-side and by the woods,
in city and country, bless God every morning
that they rise, and every evening that they lie
down. for the glorious 72Ier1ge——that pledge
wliich snatched a father and a husband from the
arms of ruin—tliat drove bl-ck the rushing wave
froni their dwelling---that raised the fallen titan
from the niiry pit, and placed his feet upon a
rock. 5-
W'ou‘.d they compare my single fault with all
this redemption? who looks at the sun to see
one spot upon his disc, and then swears there is

Nay what is my owti casein connextion with

B(.‘lUVt.‘(l Brethren ! I could not say less, btitl
must proceed with my narrative. You are al-
ready awart:~——and thanks to the intetiiperatc ed-
itors, the public are pretty generally aware, of
the Situation iti which I was found. It is neces-
sary that l give :1 detailed arcotint of the facts.
lcotild well wish to be spared this duty: but
like the Spartain boy, I titust nerve niyselfto eti-
dure, though the fire eat into my heart.
In the city of New York there is a little edi-
fice. at the corner of Center and Rt-atle streets, of
uniqtie construction, being made tip principally
ofglass lights. llerel repaired to get a glass o
soda water with a friend who had invited me,
whose uartieit is unnecessary to mention, as I
believe he was guiltless of any evil intention.
The sotla was drawn for me; but the man had
no syrup in his sliop.and used Lucina Cordial as
a Sul)Sllu7€‘. Such was the peculiar effect ofthe
Cordial upon me, that I lost the use of my rea-
soning faculties toa great degree: my old appe-
tite for ardent spirits revived in me as if some
infernal demon had been permitted to lash the
unrestraitiitig helm of my judment--—tlirown a-
way the compass—-and then let loose all the
winds of heaven upon tny pilotless bark.. As . I
walked down Centre street, I felt the most in-
tense desire for women, and wine. As I passed
the taverns and bar-rooms, I could scarcely resist
the iticlination to rush in and satisfy my craving
appetite.
In passing Lotliian’s corner I met a young wo-
man, an acquaintance of some years’ standinzr,
who was tying her shoe. Being dark, I acci
dentally touched her elbow in passing. She
then recognized me and called me by name; I
stopped, and after a moment's conversation she
requested me to call with her and see a fallen
sister whom she was desirous of rescuing from
the abys ofruin.
As itis a part ofmy mission to redeem the
lost, and raise the fallen, I gladly ascentcd, al-
though myself standing on the very precipice
that overhung the vortex. Ientered with her,a
house in Walker street, where I found an elder-
ly lady and the sister of my female companion.
After a tedious conversation, a feeling hardly to
be described in words, came over me—the bur-
ning raging appetite forliquors. Tlielittle which
was found in the house only added to the flame.
I gave money to a young woman and procuretl
more: and here my memory fails. \Vhat liap-
pened afterwards, Ican no more tell than the
maniac who struggleswitli his chains in the asy-
lum for maniacs. From that moment, all is
chaos. _ _
My example, more than words, bids “him
that standeth take heed lest he fall.”
I hope to be again in the field. I hope to
stand before the public with all my wounds and
bruises upon me, a monument of the deeds of
rum, a monument ofthe mercy ofGod l I hope
to do more than I ever yet have done, to wrest
the scepter from King Alcohol, and trample in
a line to be establislted between New York and .
no daylight liecause that glorious orb contain a '
the dust the mighty foe from which I am deliv-
cred.

Ma. EDITOR :-
E: solicit the favor ofabrief space in your col-
umn’s once uiore, and then I have done with
the controversy, as it now stands, and with the
Rev. Mr. Haivley, so far as the Newspaper is
concerned.
What is the question at issue, and what is the
position of the parties? lfyotir readers will tax
their patience, to follow me, I will endeavor to
answer these questions——let us recapitulate. lti
my first letter to Mr. I_‘I'(l\vI(‘.", l accused him of
making certain “cliarges—statenien ts, and insin-
u:ttiou.s” against the hletliodists. I embodied
some of those charges, statements and etc. in a
proposition, and called upon him to maintain the
afiirrnative of them, in a public debate with me.
-—l\'Ir. llawley, as is well known, denied the
truth ofthosecliarges—and consequently threw
upon me, the burden of proof——the proof was
produced, and given to the ptiblic—covering
most completely every specification wliicli I had
made, and stands, up to this present, with scarce-
ly an attempt to refute it. So far from,relieving
It-Ir. ll-tiwley, eve-y effort, has involved him more
and more, lH(llfIl(.‘l1ll_\'. And now, if I mistake
not, the real question at issue, is, Are those spe-
cifications true. or are they “false and columni-
ous”—-? If they are true, Mr. Hawley is guilty
ofa gross outrage on this, community, in denying
them, and charging me, with making :1 “totally
false, and unjust report ofhis lectures.” If, they
are lalse, the proofthat they are so, is entirely
wanting, and we have nothing but the naked
assertion of Mr. llawley and his friendly Deacon
against the riiassofconclusive testimony, which
has been aduced to prove them true. lfthcy are
part true, and part false, then Mr. Hawley’s
st -tement, that they are ‘a totally false, and un-
just report ofhis lectures,” cannot be true.
But, says Mr. ll. “they are false, in their en-
tire spirit.” ‘.‘= hat docshe mean by this? false
in spirit! in the name of common sense, and
of reason, what is the spirit ofthe following ex-
tract from his own pen, in the last Gazette?——
'l‘ell me kind reader if you can, the spirit of this
extract, wliicli I will now give you—- liereitis-—-—
“flow sicltetiing, are such pretences of love, for
“the dear people," and such holy horror oftouch-v
ing the funds of thecliurch, while both liancis,are
up to the elbows, in the people’s pockets.” “‘U-
surpation indeed it is, heaven daring usurpation”
—Now, we throw his own ianguage,in the form
ofa question, and call upon him to maintatn the
affirmative, when lo! he says, it is “false in its
entire spirit”—But what is the spirit ofthe above
extract? test it by the rule ofcharity and see-
are they not his owti words? “Why doth be
yet find fault?" By the way, this talking about
spirit——-makes me think of Shakespere’s song of
the \Vitches, in the play of Macbeth
“Black spirits and white,
Red spirits, and gray—”
Tltere is all sorts of spirits in Mr. Hawley's
lectures, except one or two. I feel under no ob-
ligation, nor shall I allow riiyself, to discuss any
other question, while this is pending—unless, by
mere accident—-and therefore, whatever he may
publish on Methodisni—or against the Metho-
dists—l consider, out. of order. and irrelevant.-
So far as his last article goes to disprove any .
thing we have stated, he mightijust as well
have published an ex met, from‘ some Congres-
sional speech about Texas, or='tlie Mexicans.
I wish to notice one or two tllings in his last
communication,and then, ‘good-bye’ to Br. Haw-

ley. And first—bis introduction, and the gentle
m=1nt“"‘» in which l‘."-‘.r. \Vilcox is set asid-'—hear
liim——“l might take exceptions to several of Mr.
\Vilcox‘s statements and argumefiis, but, they
are of little consequence in lllel1lSelV'£‘S.”--Thfhait
:1 stride here is! as Lorenzo Dow would say——
“great straight I, and little crooked U.” But ev-
ery communication, has been prefaced in some
such style—-'-First, an apology “for noticing a
coma unication of such a cli-aracter”—secoiitl——
“Where the f'/wts and parties are known, etc.”
and third, and lastly—-as above.—\Vell, Isup-
pose ‘this, is the most easy method of doing up
the hu<.iness—but will the public be satisfie I?
2d. He has introduced a specimen of his lec-
titres, so that. the public may jlld'-Te for them-
selves oftlteir cliaracter——And theii’ tells them,
that, “toju go of the character ofhis lecturegin
this \V8.‘_'s would be very much like judging“ of
the merits, or demerits of an‘ artist, by The dc.
tacltgzd ii-'lQl1l‘e ofa statue’?—i. e. (I suppose) the
5ili‘Cl{1lL’!) he gives us to judge by, is just no spe-
tziiiicn at zill—~\Vell done Br. Ilawlev 3 but you
can stride --ver any difficulties, so never mind.
But, once mnre—I have a more serious one to
conie——-It will be recollectetl, that Mr. Ilawlev
handled me very rouglily in a pre ions commti-
niczttion, for not altering one of ntv statements
after a certain thing had been explained to me,
“by a friend,”—by “givingitscouiiexion"—This
explanation, I gave to the public, afterward, just
as itwas given to me, from that “frieiid”——aatl
just as Mr. H. had cmlorscd it. And yet, in the
very face ofiltiscxplanation, hlr. Hawley steps
forward, and gives the public, a veritable cxtracfl
from his lectures, containing this identical charge
and. its‘co.=me.rz'ozr.’ and strange as it niav seem,
not one tvord-‘nor s.-7mz'lar tt'o1'rIs—are 2i7l.'COII.Il€.‘I‘-
ion xvii/t it. Now, what are ve to do in this
case? fvly “friends” asserted to me, and others
tltat such tvasits connexion, an I when Mr. H.
gives it fresh from the manuscript, no such can-
nexion appears. Have my ‘friends’ been impo-
sed upon——or have l—or the public? But I
will place them injuxtaposition, and my reader
shall judge --
1‘-lr. I-lawlcy’s version. M y “Friends” version.
“ llotv sictttiing are “ Mr. Hawlev said-
sttch pretenses of love Dr. Peck accusesthe E-
fnr “ the dear people. ” piscopal clergy. of hay-
and such holy horror ofing their Latfds in me
touching the funds ofthe people’.-; pockets. NOW,

N-:tiv what will my friend say to this—? Il)I it
is evident: and the conclusion is inevitable, that
the statement ofmy ‘friend’ is false——(ai'id Mr.
Ilawley has endorsed it) or else, Mr. H. has
paltitt-d olfi on this community, a false extract
front his lecttirt-s. My friend, may have been
niisiaketi, I doubt not, that lie was, but Mr.
I-Iawley could not be mistaken. And “to this
complexion, has it come at lasL”—How passing
stratge, that after a friendly caution with re-
spctzt to the character ofthat old gun, he slioultl
load it in suclt a manner again.
One more cxpre-sion. he has used in his ex-
tract, but in a very different connexion. and in
altt,-getber different language, from its delivery,
whicli I l](’.itl‘Ll mg/self. viz. “countless thousands”
—-In his extract, it is greatly inodified—is not
cont:--cted at all, with the subject, in which I
heard it——for in the discourse to w_hicli llistencd
there were no statisii or t-s'.imatcs——l3ut it
was mainly (‘D the form of our deed of session-
and iii connection with the “starve out pr aci-
ple.” Speaking of estitiiates—liow ridiculott"-,
aresuch estimates. To be anything like cor-
rect, a man mu.st know, the iv/m"e amount of
cit}-,i:3,,ly properly. and church lial,-ililies—c.'iti l_\"lr.
Ha.~.vlc}' pretend to know this? But enough, of
this “lioze-poge” concern. The public, are
douhtless tired ofthe discussion, and Br H. has
given notice, that “lie ititends,to avoid controver-
sy”-—\V. ll, Ishould think it best, for if those
outlantlisli Metliotlists get lioltl of him again,
there is no telling how he may fare. Truly,
“the mountain has labored, and brought forfli
a mouse.” One or two more words, and I have
done.
1st. I commenced this discussion, in a veryse-
rious, and earnest tuood——but it has assutiied
sucliasingular aspect, that to be grave now,
“exceeds all power of face.”-
2d' In this matter,I have made alldue allow-
ance, for my friends (for real friends they are)
who ltave seen fit to defend their Pastor—l know
iwt is na:ural——-But Br, H. has somewhat disturbed
my equavtimity, by his ambiguous statements,
singular changes, and that treatmen', which is
contraband etiquette, and I confess, that I am
obliged to stretch poor Charity, very hard, to
cover him, iiotwitlis atiding he is, like myself,
rather small in stature. For, if he is capable of
doing what I lnrve proved he has done, in this
communi-zation, I atii fearful that even Calvinian
decrees, will not be strong enough to hold him.
