The following communication is from the
Illa-untain ]_3'a.mzer, published at Rutherford-
ton, North Carolina :— _
MR. F". l. WiLsoN: _.D‘i.-rcr Sir—I have
just read in your _1lIowuta.m Bmzmzr of the
15th inst. an a’rticl"e headed “‘ Fire Annihila-
tor.” Now as well as I can, understand .the_
various accounts given of this wonderful in-
vention, it is not pretended that they explain
its peculiar construction and mode of opera-
tion, and they merely give an account ofits
effects. I claim the invention as far back as
1-837. In November of this year I paid in_v
fee and filed my specifications in the Patent
Office at Washington, in the words and fig-
ures following, to wit:
“ Yourapplicant claims that he has made
a new and useful invention for extinguish-
ing fire and flame with CARBONIC Gas,
in a manner new and useful; the Gas to
be generated by chemical process, con-
densed through a‘ proper medium, in a
machine; and with appropriate appenda-
ges and appliances can b-e directed to any
spot, projected to any elevation, so as to
make it a practical and efficient agent for
extinguishing fire cheaply, saifly, quickly,
and is far superior to any other means
hitherto used or known for extinguising
the flames ofa steamboat on fire or a
ship burning in the middle of the ocean.
I declare my belief that this discovery is
destined to save thousands and thousands
of lives, millions multiplied by millions,
in value of property.
Will. A. GRAHAM.”
The answer} received" from the Patent
Ofiice was :
“Your invention does not possess that
novelty and utility which would justify this
office in issuing a patent. Nor is it, indeed,
believed to be capable of being carried into
effect.”
(Signed) 1-1. L. ELSWORTH.

‘‘I think all the objections to my specifi-
cations aud to granting me patent are fully
met by the fiICl.ll121t by a series of experi-
ments carelully made by myself, I have lully
tested the efficacy and practicability ofc.x-

cheaper, quicker and with more certainty
than any other hitherto used or known, and
I am ready to convince the commissioner of
Patents and the public of its'cli’t-cts.”
I went to \VOl‘l£, fixed my machine, procur-
ed an old frame house 30 by 20 feet, and 30
feet high, rolled two‘ cxtiiigtiisliers on 21
wheelbarrow to the theatre of action, and
put on three cart loads ofsliavitigs. 1 com-
manded one engine, a boy the other. ‘iVlicn
the whole was completely ignited and the
house enveloped in flames, the curiously con-
structed nozzles of the hose for the exit of
the Gas, [by theturning of a cock,] were
made to play on the conflagratiori. lt qtieiic.li-
ed the fire and put out the frames in 3 min-
utes. This experiment was made in the
Commons, South-wcstof the Capitol, in the
night time. _
I then prcpaira.-d for a new exhibition but
concluded Iwonld consult some of my ac-
quaintances and state the obstacle I had met
with at the Patent Office. I stated my case
to E. Stanley and R, Strange. The senator
took it lively interest in my case, and intro-
dused me to an individual who he remarkcil
had great influence with the Patent Oflicc.
He expressed great willingness to forward
my views, after sundry interviews the indi-
vidual said he had a proposition to make
“public men could not give their time to pri-
vate clnims without .“€l]tln‘.f:‘l‘all0I)——8.l. a
word Ic-an secure you a patent, provided
you will make an assignment and enter into
awrittcn contract.” Itold him to reduce
to writing‘ what he wanted, and 1 would
think ofit. I returned the next evening;
the writing was all done he insisted very
earnestly on having my signature then. I
declined, put the paper in my pocket and
“ralked off; 5;}yi[)g‘ I W0lJl(I llllflli (If it. ll
claimed that he was a coinventor, and in
consiberation ofcouncil, assistance and ad-
vice tome given in the preiiiises, he was to
have one half the dues, now or liencefor'-.b to
be earned by the patent. (l have it now in
his hand writing.) Iconsulted I-Ion. James
Graham upon the propriety of sigiiiiig the
agreement. He said emphatically‘ “ I-lave
nothing to do, make no bargain with a uian
you know to be dishonest.”
Ithen consulted Mr. Calhoun, read my
specifications and explained the whole inat-
ter to him. \Vith his quick ‘apprclicnsion
a-nd clear perception he understood the in-
vention and the cause of my embarinsnic-nt.
He said, “Never sign that paper; get your
friends, I will go at your head to the Patent
Department, explain your case, and for you
demand your riglits. If refused I will call
the attention of the Senate to the matter.”

Thus stood matters, when on the night of
29th December, 1838, at 9 o’cIuck, I was
arrested on a bail bond for debt, 5,5300, an
amount I could not then pay, and brought to
Raleigh where a heavy amount was concen-
trated against me, I transmitcd my papers to
J. C. Calboun,and left tb_e matter to his dis-
_ cretion, who rose in his place in the Senate
and moved that this sulijectslioulil be refer-
red to a select commiitee, ‘Messrs. Wltitf-3,
D-ews, Taliiizige, Crittenden and Young:-—
(Mr. Webster declined on account of the
multiplicity of his engtigenients) A supoe-
na was served upon me by the U— S. Mar-
shall, Beverly Daniel, to appear before the
eommitte ofthe Senate. But i was in dit-
rancc vile. I could not attend The malign
and mercenary interest, coming even from
the senate chamber, foiles me. “Nameless
in dark oblivion let him rest“
Beforel left Raleigh I appeared under the
~ protection of the writ of Habeas. Corpus be-
fore Judge Pearson, made an assigiimcnt
for the benefit of creditors, and in that docu-
ment gave a particular account of the inven-
tion or discovery l had made. The judge
ordered the Clerk of the Superior Court for
VVake to record it. In the mean time the
‘committee oftliesenate reported, but made
no allusion to me, except that they had seal-
‘ ‘ed up my ‘charges and specifications and lil-
o
ed them with the pvblic archives. To leave
the matter beyond»suspision., cavil ot' doubt,
"'m'id-tvishing-my name might go down to
.‘tith‘er'ti‘ines'asthetfirst to suggest and pei'fi'-ct
tliiswonderful invention,‘ believing, as Na-
poleon said, that an original ’ and important
idea in these days of printing and talking,
once thrown out intbe ocean of time, will
float forever, never can be lost. -
I was introduced by Mr. ' Calhoun to Mr.
Cox,minister from England. Upon consulting
his library help a very politeand obliging
manner.directed me how to proceed in order
to receive myrights in England, intimating
that I would encounter no such embarrass-
ment there zis I had here.
I accordingly wrote, through Mr. Hunt
Texian minister, to Gen. Henderson, minis-
ter at the Court of St. James. 1 give his rc-

Your and Dr. Grahamls letter reached
me not until last week. limmediately upon
the receipt of Grabam’s Letter .i'cfei'red
to the Patent office, made known my desire,
and exhibited to the clerk the description of
the invention as given in the caveat, as for-
wardcd to me by Dr. G. After cxaiiiining
the same heinformed me that he was then
preparedtoinake the entry, and was kind
enough to say that he would (in the event
that any other person applied for a patent for
an invention of the same kind) give any one
I thought proper to name, seven days notice
according to law,to appear before the Attor-
ney General and describe the machinery and
-whole invention so as to enable the Attorney
General to decide whether it interfered with
the discovery of Dr. Cii'ahain.

To M I-JMICAN I-I U1\"I‘.
Now the time has arrived when delay
would be fatal; for it has been judicially de-
cided in England “ that ifan inventor supine-
ly and calmly stands by and sees his inven-
tion gointo common use without flSSel‘llt‘tp‘
his claim, he forfeitsall right to a patent.”
I ask for my own credit, for the credit of
our country, that you inscribe my name up-
on the Mountiiiii Banner, as having first
made the discovery how to apply practiciilly
Carbonic Gas to extinguish destructive fire
or flames. I do not wish Ainericzius to be
imposed upon by giving large sums of mon-
ey to Eiiglisli patentet-s for an intention
which truly belongs to their own “land of
the biaveand home of the free." I will
repair to Wasliiiigton upon the mE‘.t?l.ll‘.g of
the next Congress and ir-.ncw my application.

-lnims and specifications would have by
putting them file in the office. ‘le remark-
cd, “ they would operate asa perpetual cmreat
against any person claiining a similar inven-
lion.”
