which was heard at Point Isabel on the
oth,. was encouragement with Hays. lie
probably met Candles at the Colorado, or
sallied through the Mexican lines to reach
the American camp at Matamoras. Il

Con. HAYS A gentleman who arrived
from Galveston yesterday, relates to us an
nnecdote in regared to this gallant Texas
Ranger, the authenticity of which we do
not doubt.
Col. Cunales, Mexican chief at the
head Of n large body OF cavalry, sent
word 10 Col. Hays, then at San Antonio,
TO the effect that he (Col CanaIes) was
at the head of one thousand two hundred
Mexican cavalry upon the Arroyo CoIora-
do and should be very happy TO receive
there, Col. II, and the Rangers,
To this Col. Hays promptly responded
by thesame messenger, that ii would give
nm pleasure to pay his respects to Col
Canales, and that he would accordingly
wait upon him tor that purpose with 400
hangers'on Wednesday morning, 9th inst.
Should this interchange OF courtesias
take place--and we have no reason 10
doubt it, for Hays is determined to cut his
way to Gen. Tayor's camp-we shall
assuredly hear of warmer work than any
yet which. has been reported.

PROSPECTUS FOR
THE SIDEREAL MESSENGER,

A Monthly Journal, devoted to Astronomical Sci
ence, conducted By o. M. MIrcHELL. Director
Of the Cincinnati Observatory.e
IUyHERE does not exist, at present, in the world
u single popular journal, from whose pages
the general reader may follow the rapidly advancing
progress of Modern Astronomy. III acy4f
The great truths now developing, are only to be
found in the Transactions Of learned Societies, or
locked up in the annual volumes of Observations,
in strict technical form.
The erection of the Cincinnati Observatory, by
the voluntary efforts of more, than seven hundred
persons of all ranks conditions and callings in one
single city, has demonstrated in the most satisfac-
tory manner, the nterest which the people take in
the science Of Astronomy. Of these seven hundred,
very few make any pretensions to scientific attain
ments in Astronomy and yet all are anxious to
learn not only what is doing in their own Observa-
tory, but likewise what discoveries are making
throughout the world.
The capital Instrument Of the Cincinnati Obser-
vatory, is the Great Achromatc Reactor the second
Telescope in the world. To record, in plain and
simple FORM the results Of the researches made with
this insrument-to present the earliest Astronomi.
cal intelligence from all parts Of the world-to fur
nish to our conntrymen, in their own language the
most interesting articles from foreign Astronomical
journalistic excite an interest among the people, in
the elevatins study Of Astronomy to give
permanent support to the Institution under whose
auspices this publication is nade-will be the OBJ
ects Of the SIDIRAL MESSENGER. 1saF1
All subscriben to this journal, not residing in the
city OF Cincinnati, cordially invited to visit the
Observatory, subject to the same regulations which
govern the members Of the Society.
All members Of the Astronomical Society, who
may subscribe for this journal, will Be entitled to
