the attempt by Halliday, who said that
he could extract the ink Of the cancelling
from the notes, so that they would pass
without suspicion on the closest inspoc-

gave them TO Halliday, as an experiment.
On the next day Halliday returned him
one of the notes with the ink entirely
cXtr2ated, keeping the other as his share
in the business. These two notes were
exchanged without difficulty, and it was
then agreed that Brcedlove should take
the others: Accordingly he watched
for some days TO see when the package
should be made up, and when it was
made up with other bundles, to be mail

now TO Proiuce Rain.

The following is from o communica-
ton furnished to lheodiors of the Ma
tional intelligonccr by Professor Espy:
"In case any one has a saIt-marsh or
prairie which he wishes to burn, or a
large mass Of timber from clearing Of
land, preserve these combustibIcs till the
time Of drought, if enc should occur;
then choose i very calm and clear day,
and at about 3 O'Clock in the morning
take tumbler Of cold water, in the o
pen air in the shade, and with thcr-
mometer find the highest temperature Of
ihc water when il is just cold enough 10
cause the moisture in the airto condense
on the lumber The highest tcmpera-
ture is called the dew point. If this
should hot be more than six or eight dc
grees, (thc less the bcttcr) below the
temperature of the cir, every thing is
then favorable at the surface Of the earth
for the production Of rain. Set fire TO
your combustibles at many places in the
circumference at once. Immediately
an up-moving column Of air will be
produced; and If it be not bent out Of a
perpendicular motion by an upper cur
rent Of air, it will begin TO form clouds
when its top reaches as many hundred
yards high as the dew point is below the
temperature Of the air in the degrees Of
Fahrenheit Watch the subsequent
phenomena and describe them to me.
If it rains ii viii not extend much 10
the west; but ii is probable that it will
widen out from the place Of beginning
and become 4 general rain in the cast.
lit should not rain, it will be pre-
vented by one or Two causes; an upper
current Of air sweeping the up-moving
column out Of tho perpendicular, or an
upper stratum too warm and light 10 let
the moving column swim in it,

Mr. EDIroa =" Many Wing Voters"
in q communication in tie last weeks
paper, were pleased 10 suggest me as a
suitable candidate for the House of Re
personalities at the next election, ex-
pressing at tho same tine desire to
Nlearn through the columns Of your pa
per whether ! would serve if elected.
In reply: | beg leave 10 say that while
do not desire TO serve in the Legisla-
tarc, yet do not feel at liberty to de-
cline that station, if my neighbors and
fellow citizens believe | can do them scr
vice.
| feel q common interest, with the
whole country, IN several matters Of To-
cal interest, such as the clearing cut our
river; the appropriation of the land be-
longing to the Chickasaw counties as a
school fund, &c. sc. As much, and per-
haps more could be done by others than
myself, still, however, would do all in
my power upon these and other matters,
if they see fit to elect me.
A remark in that communication,
makes it necessary for me 20 say, rela-
tive TO the Court House question, that il
it is desired that that matter shall enter
into the canvass, | will not run. have
utterly refused TO run upon that cues
ton, and / see no cause now toregret or

will say further, that if elected, l
will have nothing 10 do with that ques-
ton, whilea member, either by action
or voting. II, however, it should be de-
sirable by the friends OF either party, 70

win also remark, that if there be
I any other gentleman who may desire 10
run, or whom the people desire 10 run,
| viii retire willingly.
As TO my politics-they arc Wing
as is well known 10 those who are &C
