This may certify, that in connection with what l
have already stated in wiring. and have presented
to the Hon. Edmund Burke, Commissioner of Pa
tents, in regard to case which nanspired in my
presence in the west wing Of The Patent Office
middle Of the day, yesterday Isaw Mr.. Grenough
with stranger in that part Of the Office examin-
ing some instruments which they put to their mouths
and blowed on, and sound was produced like that
Of reed to clarione the keys Of an accordion.
Shortly AFTER there was young man passed by me
towards the west end Of the Office and went first into
one Of the rooms in that end Of ths Office and then
into the other, and while he was in the room heard
a sound from that direction which supposed was
produced on some instrument like the that Mr..
Grenough and the strangers were examining, the
sounds being quite similar. When the young man
passed me, and while he was in the room, Mr.. G
Erkson was sitting on the seat with me by
the side Of the room. and he said to me, do you
know that young man? To which replied no
then Mr.. Erkson said to me, that it was the son Of
Mr.. Knowles, ire smachinist in the Patent office,
who has authority Or liberty to go into those
rooms and il is supposed by some that he is acting
in secret way to assist Mr. Greenough and Keller
| and in short time the young man came out Of the
room and rose from my seat and met him about
the centre Of the room and ! asked him if this was
Mr.. Knowles! and he replied yes, that he was the
son Of Mr.. Knowles the machinist. then asked
him if the two rooms that he had just been in were
the secret archives, and he said yes. then asked
him if he hadany privilege to enter these rooms and
he said no, only by his father's permit that he as
sisted him sometimes

From the Washington Union, of April /, l847.
To the Secretary Of The Treasury:
SIR: The Gov, rnment of Mexico having re-
pealrdIy rejected The friendly overtures Of the
United States TO open negotiations with view
10 the restoration OF peace, sound policy and a
Just regard 10 the interests of our own country
require that the enemy should be made, us far as
practicable, TO bear the expenses Of 4 war Of
which they are the authors, and which they OBJ
stinately persist in prolracting.
1t is The right of The conqueror 10 levy contri
buttons upon the enemy in their seaporls, towns,
or provinces which may be in his military pos
session by conquest; and 10 apply The same 10
defray the expenses of the war. The conqueror
possesses the right also 10 establish temporary
military government over such seapOrs, towns,
or provinces, and 10 prescribe the conditions and
restrictions upon which commerce with such
places may be permitted. He may, in his dis
cretion, exclude all trade, or admit it, without
Limitation or restriction; or impose terms, the OBJ
servance Of which will be The condition of carry.
ing it on. One of these conditions may be the
payment Of prescribed rate Of duties on ION
mage and imports.
In The exercise of these unqucstioned rights of
war, have, on full consideration, determined 10
order that all the ports or places i'll Mexico which
now are, or hereafter may be, in The actual pos.
session of our land aud naval forces by conquest,
shall be opened, while our military occupation
may continue, 10 the commerce Of all neural
nations, as we'll us our own, in articles not contra
band Of war, upon the payment of prescribed
rules of duties which will be made known and
enforced by our military and naval comman-
ders.
While the adoption Of this policy will bo 10
impose burden on The enemy, and at the same
time 10 deprive them OF the revenue 10 be derived
from trade at such porls or places, as well as 10
secure it 10 ourselves, whereby the expenses OF
the war may be diminished, n just regard TO the
general interests of commerce, and The obvious
advantages of uniformity in the exercise Of these
beligerent rights. require that well considered
regulations and restrictions should be prepared
for the guidance of those who may be charged
with carrying it into effect.
You are therefore instructed 10 examine the ex.
isting Mexican tariff of dulies, and report TO me
schedule of articles of trade, TO bo admitted q
such ports or places as may at any time be in oul
military possession, with such rates of duties or
them, and also OH tonnage, as will be likely 10 pro-
duce the greatest amount of revenue. You will
also communicate The considerations which may
recommend The scale of duies which you may
prepure, and will submit such regulations as yoI
may deem advisable, in order 10 cnlorcc Ihei

TIE WHEAT CRoP.-The wheat crop in this
section Of the State has been seriously injured by
winter freezing. We have seen many fields that,
from present appearance, we think will scarcely
yield the seed. The crop was also considerably
injured with the fly during the fall; this, combi-
ned with an unlavorabe winter, has rendered the
prospects of our farmers somewhat gloomy. A
favorable season, however, may yet so far resus-
cilate the perishing energies of the plants as to
produce something near an average crop.
Have any Of our farmers ever tried narrowing
their wheat fields in the spring, when the crop
has been injured by freezing out during tho win.
teri 1t appears TO US that thorough narrowing
would be of decided advantage. II would reset
many plants that would otherwise perish, and give
them mellow and pliable soil 10 take root in,
which would much accelerate their after growth.
We have seen several fields where narrowing
could do no injury, and we think might prove
beneficial. Ii some of our farmers will try the
experiment, upon small scale, and, at the prop
CT season make US acquainted with the result, we
shall feel under obligations 10 them.
