| WOOD CiAS,?CAUTION
Bid It known that I, the subscriber ol>
tained letters patent in December, 1801, lor
an apparatus Cor the destructive distillation of
wood, and the making therefrom of tar or pity'h ul
pleasure, and gas; aud that in the judgment ol
competent persons the invention of an appar
tus recently patented by W. D. Porter cannot be
used by tiiui or any other person wituOUt infring
ing my said patent. And, further,' that what is
patented by said i'orter rightfully belongs to me,
as I expect to prove ere long before the United
States Patent Office ; and, further, that the uso of
said I'orter'* invention involves also a process
which I am now claiming before the United Slates
Patent Oilice, and which has been adjudged to be
patentable to the first inventor thereof, and which
saiil VV. D. I'orter has ibrmally disclaimed, as ap
pears upon the public records of said office, of
which an officio) copy is hereto annexed, and also
a copy of his claims.
in the National Intelligencer of the 25th instant
Mr. Porter announces that he has secured by
(latent the "exclusive right to mating gas from
wood," and threatens prosecution to all parties
infringing his patent. 1 ask how this statement
comports with the fact of my patent of December,
1851, and how far the threat can intimidate under
such circumstances'? Mr. Porter^ claim is based
upon n movable perforated diaphragm, and was
so understood by the Patent Office, as it appears
from the records of the Patent Office that his
claim wns at lir?i refused as interfering with n
prior patent to Robert Fonlis, of Canada, for an
equivalent contrivance. This claim, as given be
low, and in which the perforated diaphragm is the
saving clause, is what Mr Porter calls secnrine
the ' exclusive right to making gas from wood.''
The statement carries absurdity on its front, nnd
is a libel on the good sense of the Patent (J
!f such a claim or right had been granted, it would
forbid every coal-kiln and charcoal manufactory
in the cpuntry.
The following copies of correspondence nnd
I'Xtracts from the records of the Patent Office will
show the true state of the ease:
Unite* States Patent Ofkick,
August 25, 1854.
Sir . In reply to your letter of this date, asking
"if any patent has been granted to W. D. Porter,
dated 22d August, 1S54, or nt any other time, or
to any other person or persons, securing to him
or them " the exclusive right of making go* from
wood" and whether any such claim was made by
W. D. Porter, under his application for a patent,
which letters patent were issued bearing the
above date, you are informed that W. D. Porter's
claims are believed to be c ntined to his appara
tus; and, further, this office is not aware that a
patent has been granted heretofore for the exr/u
xive right of making gas from wovd It would,
however, be unjustifiable to expect me to make
au extended investigation to answer your re
quest.
I am, respectfully, your obedient servant.

uf THE
??WASHINGTON MEWTINKI.."
I PROPOSE to publish in the city of Washing
toil, in September. a political newspaper, un
der the name of the WASHINGTON SENTI
NEL
In doing su, 11 is propei i should make known
I lie principle# ii will maintain, and the policy it
will advocate.
ft will support cordially mid earnestly the nnn
ciples ol'the D< mocratic parti/ of the United St<u> *
it does not propose to be-the organ of any Depart
moot of the Government, except in so far as an in
dependent maintenance of the dociriuws of that
purty may represunt its opinions and express its
views.
It will not be ambitious to commend itself to Un
people by u. blind fluttery of their rulei*fi. It will
seek public i .ipport by the bold avowal of the
sentiments wnich are common to the genuine
Democracy of the Union, nnd by the condemna
tion of ail such as may conflict with them, from
whatever quarter they may come. It will seek to
!>e (and it will endeavor to deserve the title* tii?
orpan ol the Democratic pirtv of the Tinted
Stutes.
The Scntinh, will maintain, u* a fundament <1
truth of that great party, that the States formed ibe
I'nion between them by the ratification of the ('on
-tuition is a coin;>aet; )?y which als>?. they emit
the Federal 'jhivernmeiit ?? r(<i delegated '<> i
:ik rheir common agent. the power*- t?*pre?<ly
specified in it. with an explicit reservation ot ill
othcra to the State-, or to their separate eoveru
metil* The exercise of any powers Heyon?t |h?se
thus delegated: is, therefore, an usurpation -t ilie
reserved authority of the Slates hv the agent C.I
tbeir own creation.
The Sentinel will uphold and defend the Union
upon the basis of the rights of th? States?under
the Constitution?and thus by sedulously gnardnisr
the latter, it will the more etfeetiiflllv -tr^nslheri
and perpetuate the former.
Willi regard to the exercise of the powers ot the
Fee. era! Government, the Sentinel will take as
he | rinciple* of its action, that Congress -hall e*
ereis no power which has not been delegated by
the 0. nstituiiou. according to a strict nnd fair in
lerpret tton of its language and spirit; and that it
shal' at seek to attain iudireelly an object through
the exei ise of const it ntuinal power, for the direct
altainmc t of which it has no delegation of power.
In other words all powers exercised must be
clearly gra ted, and all granted power- must l>e
used for no Mirpose. except such as i? .-|?-*rlv In
tended by th Constitution.
In respect to the internal administration ot the
<?overiiuieut, ihc Sentinel will sustain tbc settled
policy of the Democratic party. It will Inbor to
inculcate this cardinal doctrine of Democratic in
lernnl policy:?that this Government will best
promote the "freedom and prosperity of the people
of the States, by being less ambitious to exercise
power, and more ai.xious to preserve liberty; and
by leaving to the individual States the manage
nient of all their domestic concerns?while it con
tents itself with guarding the confederacy from
external violence, and directing the foreign policy
of the country to the promotion of the common
interests, and defence of the common right-, ind
honor of the States composing it.
The Sentinel will advocate such a progressive
foreign policy as will suit itself to the exigencies,
and corres|>ond with the expanding interests of the
country. That policy should be energetic and de
cided; but should temper firmness with liberality,
and make its highest ends consist with the strictest
principles of justice. The real interests of the
country, upon each occasion demanding attention
will be its guide in the course the Sentinel wil
pursue.
The national policy of the world in this age is
essentially aggressive. In the growing sense ol
weakness of some of the nation* of the Old World,
and the ambitious restlessness of others, it com
mon motive to colonial extension has developed
self.
Our settled determination tc repel interference
from abroad with our domestic concerns, wil
prompt us to avoid it in the affairs of other coun
tries, unless by their foreign or colonial policy our
peace should be threatened, our security endan
a'ered, or our interests invaded. For when the
-eltish interests of other nations prompt a foreign
>r colonial policy which infringes upon our rights,
and places in the pathway of our commerce a
dangerous and unfriendly rivnl. such a policy must
be resisted by remonstrance, arti, if need be. ky
war.
Our foreign |>olicy shouni indeed, be defensive,
but to lie properly dejens+ve. .t must sometimes be
it/purently aggressive. Our administration should
lie vigilant, watchful, and energetic. The world
is full of important movements, comrriercial and
political, deeply concerning American trade and
American power. It is time we had an American
foreign |>olicy. We must have it. We cannot
avoid it it we would. We have Inrgcr interests, and
a greater stake in the world and its destiny, than
every other people. We occupy the best portion
of a continent, with no neighbors but a colony, and
a worn-out, anarchical despotism. We are the
olny people whose own land, without colonial de
fendencies, is washed by the two great oceans of
the world. Our agricultural productions are more
varied and more essential to civilised life, and ta
human progress?our mineral and manufacturing
resources more vast?our facilities and capacity for
internal and foreign commerce more extended
than those of any other people living under one
government. A continent, to a great extent, un
explored and exhaustless in its yet hidden wealth
is at our feet. European trade seeks the great East
through avenues which are at our doors, or must
be made through our own limits. Europe, Asia,
Africa, and the isles of the sea, lying all around
us, look to us as the rising power, through the
agency of whose example, and ever widening and
extending, though |>eaceful influences, the bless
ings of liberty, civilisation, and religion, are des
tined to triumph over the barbarism and supersti
lion of the millions ef the world- And shall such
a people refuse to lay hold upon their destiny, and
act upon the high mission to which it is called?
A mission so full of hope, though so laden with
responsibility, which, if properly directed, must
make our confederacy the harbinger of peace to
the world, as well as the peaceful arbiter of its
destiny.
The Sentinel will, therefore, advocate a bold
and earnest foreign policy, such as the condition of
the country demands; but it will advocate it under
the flag ol the country?nowher? else, its foreign
policy must l>e consistent with the spotless honor
and unimpeachable good faith of the country. To
be respectable at home and abroad, and to be great
in the eyes of the world, it must ask for nothing
but what is right, and submit to nothing that is
wrong. It must be liberal and magnanimous to
the rights of others, and firm and immoveable in
insisting on its own. It must, in fine, be true to
its own interests, rights, and honor?it cannot then
be false to those of other nations.
Such, then, is the chart by which we shall be
guided. Independent and free, we shall endeavor
to be honest and truthful. The true friends ot
democratic principle^ we shall cordially support
and defend. Its enemies in the field or in ambush
we shall oppose, and on all proper occasions dej
nounce.
To our future brethren of the press we extend
the hand of friendly greeting. The Sentinel is the
rival of no press ot its own party?the personal
enemy of none of the other.
The present Democratic Administration has our
lest wishes for its success in the establishment ot
the great principles upon which it came into power;
and in its honest labors to attain such an end it
will find the Sentinel its friend and coadjutor.

PROSPECTUS?SOUTHERN CONSIbH
I vative Maguzlne.?When new aspirants
lor popular favor are auuounced, the public have
n right to demand the grounds upon which such
show ol title to their patronage i* made. In ac
knowledgment of this, we trace the customs ot
parties in the avowal of principles; of religious
?ecls, in the |<roin(ligation Of creeds; and ol per
sons in all pursuits of life, dependent upon the
public for success, in their preparatory expositions
of plans and purposes The customs thus origin
ating, though souuLimes abused, nre useful aud
proper, and should not be discarded. And when,
in obedience to custom, new plans are proposed,
those approving ought not to withhold their en
couragement, a-> too many do, until they see that
success is sure, for their aid may be needed to
secure it. Such n foolish policy as this jeopar
dizes the plan they approve, and hastens its failure;
it has defeated many important enterprizes, and
has deprived the country of good and useful works.
If a new proposition of any kind is approved by
ihe public, the support of those approving is ot
light expected, their approvul being solicited only
in the view that their more substantial aid will
not lie withheld.
BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE PLAN OF THE
PROPOSED PERIODICAL.
The Sui/thkkn Conservative Magazine will
occupy grounds but little cultivated by American
magaxinisl#. It is believed that a field i? open for
a periodical of n new and, in some respects, a
higher order than has been aimed at in our maga
zine literature. In this belief, and with such an
aim, we announce the Southern Conservative
Muiraciue.
The new magazine # will be national and not
sectional; claiming no merit by virtue of its es
tablishment in the South, but aiming; at a higher
usefulness and a more general acceptability.
It will be Protestant, but not sectarian ; opposing
religious bigotry or intollerance on the one side,
and itilideiity on tbe other?laboring in its teach
ings to nd vance a closer union between the several
branches of the great family of the church.
It will be political, but liberal; owing no slavish
allegiance to parties or politicians, it will advocate
measures, not men,' und will labor only for the
success of principles.
It will be progressive, yet sternly opposed to
the reckless spirit of innovation so rife in the
country?aiming to elevate and advance, not de
pres-; to reform and improve, not to destroy;
sacredly adhering to the true intent of our great
republican theory, und laboring to advance it to
its fullest development.
It will be truly American in lone and sentiment,
but will repudiate nothing foreign, merely because
so; believing that the good, the useful, and true
belong not, par excellence, to any lavored people,*
but are the common right of all.
It will be the organ of pure conservatism.
It will enconrage a high-toned literature, aud
de/'eud pure morals in all the social relations ol
lite.
And it will number in its corps of regular con
tributors some of the ablest political aud literary
writers of the country.
The magazine will be printed on the finest
quality of paper, With new type, and iu a plain
but superior style.
Each number will contain not less than 30 large
octavo pages, made up of original articles, con
tributed and editorial?reviews, political and
scientific essays, romances, poetry, Ate.
We promise much lor the new magazine, and
we intend to perform it all, aud more, if the read
ing public will give (he enterprise a liberal en
couragement.
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
The Southern Conservative Magazine will be
issued, the tirst of each month, from tie office of
