A TRICK OF THE OUT GOING ADMINIsTRA-
TIoN.-The Washington correspondent of
the New York Courier writes:
"In commenting the other day upon Mr..
RockwelFs speech in reference TO the con.
dition of the Treasury, neglected to men.
ton an important fact, which seemed also
to have escaped his notice. The civil and
diplomatic bill which recently passed the
House, contains appropriations for a mil
lion of dollars beyond the estimate of the
Secretary. In stating the expenditures for
the ensuing fiscal year, no calculation for
any portion of the foreign services was in.
cluded.
THAT wilful neglect occurred in the face
of the fact that, although one Locofoco ad-
ministration succeeded another, full pro-
vision was made al the advent of Mr.. Polk
for an entire change in the diplomatic corps
of which he availed himself to the fullest ex.
tent. How Mr.. Buchanan will explain this
unworthy expedient remains 10 be seen.--
If il was not wilful attempt to deprive
General Taylor of right, conceded by the
uniform usage of the government, il was at
least disregard of duty which will require
some ingenuity to palli ale.
"Conformable to established usage. the
Secretary of State was in duty bound to
estimate for the foreign service of an incom.
ing administration, and in failing to notify
the head of the Treasury TO this effect, he
had subjected himself TO imputatons tina,
are any thing but creditable. Other
branches of the public service have also
been disregarded or put aside with view
of creating favorable impression as to the
state of finances; and in this way the civil
and diplomatic bill has been burthened with
items and amounts that ought properly to
have taken different direction, or to have
been included in the estimates of the Sec.
rotary of the Treasury"
The Pope has been invited to take I'd
his residence in this country.

GEN. TAYLOR.

The Louisville Journal gives a glowing
account Of Gen. Taylor's reception at Lou.
isville. He was TO proceed from thence to
Frankfort, where he proposed TO tarry two
days, when he would start direct for
Washington.
He is accompanied by Major GARRETT
and Dr. Mccormick, U. s. Army. Messrs.
A. Bullitt, Benz. Hodge, Van Allen, Bailie
Pey'on. and Judge Winchester.

THE SUPREME JUDGES.

The Platte Argus and 81. Joseph Aduen.
furer, are very severe upon Gov. King, in
reference to the appointment of Messrs
Birch and Ryland to the Supreme bench
From their lamentations, warning and
threats, one would hardly suppose they
zealously advocated the election of Judge
King few months ago.
A distinguished democrat, at Jefferson
recently remarked that Governor King was
an extraordinary man-much superior to
Edwards.
Why, said one of the same partyi Be-
cause il took Edwards four years TO place
himself SO low well-bred dog would not
bark at him. whereas King has done il in
ue-,ceeksl
reflection on our contemporaries above
for barking at his Exoelsncy.

FIRE.-Our citizens were startled BY
the cry of fire, on Tuesday evening. Some
children were amusing themselves at the
residence Of Rev. VIM. Holmes, and upon
passing about bed, with candle, the clio.

communicated to the building, but for the
timely arrival Of assistance. The bed was
destroyed, and the furniture in the room
injured. The loss was promptly subscribed
by our citizens.

TO FARMERS-TOBACCO,


Much has besn said and written in regard to
the best mode to be adopted by the Farmers Of
Missouri, TO enable them to obtain a fair price
for tobacco.S No theory has yet been proposed,
which has accomplished the end desired, when
practically employed; and the planters generally.
in consequence Of the failures alluded to, opins
that they are entirely at The mercy Of the specug
lstor. and consequently dispose Of their tobacco
In The early part Of the season. many Of them
selling Tor SO much "and the rise," Hattering
themselves. that they thereby prevent any adj
vantage being gained in the transaction. Ex.
perience has taught Us, that this mode OF selling
staple commodity, wholly defeats the object
in view; for how con an article intended for
foreign marke, enhance in value 10 the country
where it is produced after !, is in the hands OF
the exporter. who feels deep interest in deprs.
ciatng its home value? This opinion seems 10
the undersigned, to DO wholly unfounded, at
east as regards this season, nasmuch, as tho
planters cannot be prejudced by keeping out of
market, until an equivaen, be offered for the
production OF their labor. as will appear by refs
erence to the article annexed, and inasmuch az
those who design dealing in tobacco, have at this
time. great many hands. who are idle and
who must soon DO employed. otherwise loss
will be incurred. II the farmers, instead of
rushing into market, immediately upon the
opening thereof, would remain at home, until
those who have made arrangements to become
purchasers Of tobacco, absolutely needed it, to
keep their hands employed, they unquestonably
would receive fair prices. ......

An INTERESTING INcIDENT.-The Ne

The delegation Of Chippewa chiefs and war.
riors were shown around the Capitol, on Friday,
by their intelligent agent and interpreter, Maj J..
B. MartelI. They frequently expressed their
wonder and admiration at the extent and gron.
deur Of the building; and the splendid paintings
strongly attracted their attention. From the cap
,ol they proceeded TO the statute Of Washington,
followed by crowd Of ladies and gentlemen
They went up to the front Of the statute, and
gazed at it for some minutes with looks OF deep
interest depicted upon their painted faces, then sit.
ling down facing the statute, one OF the chiefs.
O-skaba wiss, filled his splendid pipe Of peace,
and held il out towards the statute, saying: my
great father, we all shake hands with you: we
have travelled long way through the country
that you have acquired for your people by the aid
Of the Great Spirit. Your people have become
very great our people have become very small;
may the Great Spirit who gave you success now
protect us and grant us the favor we ask Of our
great father who now fills the high place first oc>
cupied by YOU"
This simple supplicatory address was faithfully
interpreted to the byssanders by Major Mar.ell.

As far as elections have taken place, the
Wings have already majority of eghteen

the present Congress, from the same States
the Locofocos have four majority. The
Wings have elected 90, and all others sixty.
two.
In the States where elections are to be
held. l, is estimated that the Wings will
elect so; the Locos 81; others two.
Adding this estimate to the list of those
chosen, it will give 100 Wings 80 Locos

We are much amused at the wailings Of

itors, made public through their journals,
since the election Of Gen. Taylor. We
had thought that these gentlemen would
have forborne to prophecy any longer
since their prophetic sayings have fallen
so far short Of fulflment, in regard to the
success of the Wings. They may however
rest assured, that the people have the pro-
per degree of sympathy for them in their
distress. With what tenacity they hold to
the opinion, that the Wings have no prin.
ciple, and that Gen. Taylor was elected
without principles. We will not a, this
late day, be guilty Of the indiscretion of
attempting to convince them of the exis.
tence of principles in the wing party,
which their own minds clouded by preju-
dice are unable to appreciate. One thing
however they can but know, the knowl-
edge of which has, no doubt, induced the
denuncia,ions, which they are disposed to
hurl against the wings, in advance of the
administration of Gen. Taylor. 1t is this,
that the acts and measures of their party,
are now resting under sentenceiof condem
nation, and that the officious office holders
will ere long have to give place to homes,
men. Hence we can excuse the want of
perception that does not foresee the pre-
dicamept that such an accusation as the
above places them. The people of the
United States have seen fit TO elect Gen.
+ Taylor President, rather than Gen. Cass,
who affected to stand on the platform Of
principles, which they pretend TO advocate.
Now the people have preferred Gen. Tay-
lor according to them without principle, to
Gen. Cass with all their principles. Then
as consequence, no principles are prefer.
able to such as they profess TO adhere to
As for US. we are confident that the great
body of the American people, are disposed
that Gen. Taylor shall take untrammelled
the helm Of state, and with that view will
watch with scrutinizing eye, his every
act, being ever ready to commend and sus-
tain what is right, and condemn what is
wrong. To this tribunal alone will be
submitted the acts of his administration.

.TIgAL APpLfc ALTON oR WATER IN TTHE
sSpiHfsRoInAI rarE. will be re.
membered by, our, read ders, that at the
meeting Of the British Association. at l
Cambridge, considerable sensation
was produced by NJ. 4 Boutigny, who
brought before The meeting q series Of
experiments onswhat he calls tie gapher-
oidal astate ofwater, !and the remarka-
bio phenomenon offreezing water nred
hot crucibles, under the influence of this
peculiar condition. Ata recent meet
ingof the Academy of Sciences, at
Paris, NJ. Boutigny announced, that by
the perseyering efforts Of q young en-
gineer, M Testud de Beanregard, a
steam engine had been constructed.
which was moved BY the .vapor Of water
in its spheriodal state. This is ma
chine Of one horse power, the boiler of
which is so small that it can easily be
carried in the pocket. -
It was also stated, that two other ma
chimes were also in progress, ono Of
1.-Two, and the other of four horse power;
and that q third, Of, four hundred horse
power, was about to be made iii Eng.
land. From d communication to La
Prcsse, we learn that the boiler is pla-
ced in bath Of melted lead, and water
projected in small quantities at time
upon its heated surface. The sphcroid-
al state is produced, and although the
temperature of the water, never rises
above 100 degrees, the elastic force of
the vapor given off is found to be very
far superior to that of steam in its ordin-
ary conditions; and if we understand the
somewhat obscure description given, o
portion ofthe water is decomposed, as
in Professor Grove's beautiful cxperi-
mcnts, and the additional force Of the
gases is rendered available.
We may briefly state, for the benefit
of those who may not be familiar with
Boutigny's experiments, that if water
is projected upon ametal plate heated
to dull readiness, it is not yaporizcd at
once, but it forms itself into a sphere,
and rolling with great rapidity over
the heated surface, eyaporates with
comparative slowness. This is the
spheroidal state---a remarkable phisic-
al condition is produced, in which even
the ordinary powers of chemical affinity
are suspended, but the vapor of which
appears to obey other laws than those
OF steam. We may, therefore, hope
that we are on the eve of great i'm
provement in the employment ofheat as
a motive power. Literary Gazette.
