grand old plan was to put out cider or

many ideas entertained about making

the umpire who decides whether il viii

the reason why cider or other fluid
mixtures change their nature and become
vinegar, is owing to a transformation of

the oxygen of the atmosphere. although
il is not now. as was once believed to be, ,
the only acidiier, still is the great one.
aud vinegar is formed by the cider part
ing with It's carbonic acid gas, which it
cannot do without absorbing Uxygen.-
The reasonable way, then, to make vine
gar rapidly aud surely. is to expose as
much cider as possible to the atmosphere.
The new way, and what is supposed by
many to be u patent way, to make vine
gar, is To iet the cider percoate over
vely exposed surface. This is the way
they make it in the vinegar manufactory.
The apartment where il is made is freely
exposed to the air, and is kept in tern
perature of about 60 degrees. The ci-
der is left 10 run in small streams into
uuughs with bottoms full OF small holes;
then from that over very fine wood shaw

Several persons who have lately visit

ing runaway slaves, have returned. aud
report that the fugitive slaves are bar
bored by the Mexicans, aud in some in
slances force has been used TO prevent
our citizens from re-capturiDg these
slaves. This has so exasperated many
Of the settlers at The west. thar they are
determined To raise force sufficient to o
verpower all opposition. and re capture
their slaves at all hazards. AT the last
accounts, large party of armed Texans
had assembled near Presidio. and threat
ened to attack the town il the fugitive
slaves were not given up. ltis lntimated
that there are not less than two thousand
fugitive slaves 10 the Mexican towns be
tween the mouth Of the Rio Grande and
Presidio. In Santa Rosa, there are Forty
fjgitives who escaped from one pIanta
tion in Arkansas. The wner of them
has made many efforts to induce them to
return to Arkansas. but in vain. They
boast that they are in free country. aud
permitted to enjoy equal privileges with
the Mexicans. We have been informed
that about two hundred fugitives from
Texas crossed at one oflhe priucipa fer
ries on the Rio Grande, during the last
two years. We are informed that com
pany of ninety men, well armed and e.
qnipped. will soon be marched into San.

up; and we should not be surprised if FIVE
hundred or a thousand men should fol-
low them, should they meet with opposi
lion from the Mexican authorities. Our
information is derived from such respec

little doubt that difficulties are brewing
