ROORBACH'S TRAVELS.

We fasten this abomnable fraud and forgery where
il belongs upon the llhica Chronicle. he tact is
that Spencer was apPrz.d, at the time he received
the communication, by Mr. Mex nney himself, that
the article was co,ied from Mr.. Inns manuscript
so that he published the fraud and forgery with full
knowledge Of ITS origin. he accompanying aiiida-
Wits showing ih- politics Of Mr.. Linn made by
George e.. reer, Surrogate, and the other by
Ephraim Labar, Sheriff OF the county.
We have been info med by Mr. Linn himself, that
the part lnlerpoated was not written 10y him, and
was not a pat of his manuscript.
The editor of the lthca Chronicle, (whig) in which
Roerbach's travels first appeared, has charged the
authorship of that fraud upon VIM Liam, Esq OF
his village, whom he alleges IL be a loco foco,"
Mat Mr.. Inns politics are, appears by the sub

out for local reasons arising out OF the temperance

with others all the ire Of the editor is vented on the

the absolute right OF nomination, and that their nom.

That a. to the Presidents Partially for Mr.. Hogan,

snarling my silk, your hands tremble
so! Get down, if you think you shall
fallv-
Paul sank on his knees on the otto
man. The crisis had come. He was
resolved to utter what was nearest his
heart if it killed him. Cordelia still
kept at work at the silk she was wind
ing-as calm as summers morning,
as placid as an elephant.
'Why are you giddy still-had you
not better get down on the floor?' she
asked, with perfect serenity of man.
ners, as with provoking regularity of
motion she still wound the silk upon
the bit Of card, heart shaped card too,
and Paul had cut it out for her. Could
she not have OWNED the language of
that symbol?---and ever and anon, that
heart, Paul's heart-the paste board one
understand was held close to hers, as
she stopped over to disentangle the
floss she was winding.
He did get down on the floor as she
babe him. He knelt at her feet
The thread of his fate was in that floss,
and still she wound away, at some dis
advantage from STOPPING, but still as
calm, as cool, and as if Paul Pringle
was not dying before her.
'Cordelia!'
That's twice you've called me
but how the man perSpires!'
The last thread ofthe silk was wound,
but still Paul's hands were held up as
if they had been frozen there. Cor
della took hold of each of Paul's arms
above the elbows, and he rose to his
feet. He could not choose but do so.
Nor had he any choice but TO submit
when she lifted his feet from the floor.
Good graciousn thought he, 'if she
raises me in this way to her lips!
But she had no such Intention
She carried him to window-and
held him, up still with one hand, while
with the other she threw up the sash,
and gently placing him out in the snow,
closed the window again. Paul rang
the street bell for his hat. AS Corde-
liza heard the door open. she called out
Come my dear good little man here is
another skein to wind ifyou have suf-
ficiently recovered yourself in the air.!
But Mr.. Pringlo declined.

THE GULF STREAM.

From The leading articles in the July
number of the Southern Literary Mes
senger-a periodical perhaps second to
none published in the Union, in point
of literary and scientific excellence
we condense the following interesting
particulars, relative to the discovery
and phenomena Of the Gulf Stream
And here, by the way, we would re-
mark, that the article TO which we
have reference is eminen,ly calculated
TO sustain and add to the already high
reputation acquired by the Messenger;
and we much regret that our gleanings
are necessarily too brief TO give more
than faint idea Of lis merits-or rath-
err those of a portion of the subject OF
which ii treats.
The existence of the Gulf Stream
was not generally known to navigators
though it had been constantly eros
sed by them for period of nearly
three centuries--until its warmth was
discovered by DR.. Franklin about
l775; and up to the present day, near
ly all that is known about it is based
upon information left US by that phi
losopher.
In 1910 while in London, Franklin
was consulted in relation to a memorial
which the Board Of Customs at Boston
had sent to the Lords oft Treasury,
requesting that the Falmouth packets
might be sent to Providece instead OF
to New York, in consequence Of the
fact, that they were generally fort
night longer to New York, than COM
mon traders were between London and
Providence. This appeared strange
TO the doctor, for London was much
farther than Falmouth, and from FaI-
mouth the routes were the same, and
the difference should have been the
other way. The difficulty, however,
was explained to him BY Nantucket
whaler, who CHANGED then to be IN
London. The difference was shown
TO arise from the circumstance that the
Rhode Island Captains were acquainted
with the Gulf Stream, whilst those OF
the English packets were not. The
latter kept in it, and were set back 90
or 70 days, while the former avoided
il altogether. At the request Of the
doctor he then traced upon chart the
course Of this stream from the Straits
of Florida. The course of the Gull
Stream as laid down by that Fisher
man, from his general recollection Of It,
is retained in our charts at the present
dsy. almost withou. an alteration
The char: was sent 20 the Falne1th
