HON HlLANnnA1.I.

Ii will be perceived from his letter Published
above that the Hon Hillnd Hall declines being
candidate at the next congressional canvass 49,
while we do not assume the right to control his
course, vet we cannot refrain from the expression
OF our sincere regret, which we know We share
IN common with the mass OF his old constituents
MIA, his services are to close at post which he
has filled so credrably to himself and so saisGc.
torily aud beneiicially to the public His labors
though quiet and unobtruSivc have been of the
most unrcmiting and useful character Aside
from his numerous other services, his inves,iga-

He rarely addressed the House, bu, when he did
so, it was done effectively and to the purpose He
showed himself competent and prompt in the dis
charge of his duty, whether in public debate or
private investigations 1t matcrcd liule whether
he laid bare and exposed the iniquity Of Virginia
frauds upon the public treasury by severe invcsti

hurled back the impotcn, calumnies cast upon his
patriotic Mountain State and rebukcd in stern,
Just, and manly tones the insoence of degenerate
and arrogant son of Virginia, on the floor Of the
House, he was alike successful and triumphant.
Few public servants have been more faithful in
the patriotic discharge of duty, or received in re-
turn more flattcring and emphatic manifestations
Of the popular favor. And he has now laid down
trust for the able vigiant and faithful discharge
of whose duties he has repeatedly received, from
his approving constituents, the welcome plaudlt-

ATTRACTION.

Logs OF wood floating in pond approach each
other, and remain IN contact. The wreck OF
ship. in a smooth sea, nter a storm, Is often seen
gathered into heaps. Two bullets or plummets,
suspened by strings near 10 each other, are found
by the delicate of the torson balance to attract
each other and therefore To hang quite peTPen-
dicularlv. A plummet suspended near the side Of a
mountain, inclines towards 1t in degree propohon-
ed 10 its magnitude as scerained by the well
known trials Of DR.. Maskoeyne near the mountain
Skehalion in Scotland. And the reason why the
Dlu,nmet tends much strongly toward the earth
than towards the hill, is only that the earth Is lar
ger than the hill And at New South Wales, which
