GREAT DROUGHT IN MExIco.-We are permitted TO
make the following extract from letter. dated Zacate
N. O. Pic. wy
We are I'M most miserable state here at present.
We have had rain ofany consequence since August
last and the country is actually burnt up MANY of our
fanega, (abou $50 pounds) and in some paris OF the
State OF Zacatecas is selling at So. Flour lust ground
DOWNS worth $50 per 800 pounds, and other things in
proportion The loss OF animals would no be credited
in any other place We know of one estate which lost
400 head of sheep in March last, and it has been
worse since OF course there is literally no trade at
present, as the people either maintained by charity
Every day until it rains will be worse and we cannot
expect any commercial prosperity until another and
agood harvest OF Indian is gathered On the 25th
ult. we had sharp Frost which has injured the wheat
crop. This is produced by irrigation, and was lust
caught in the ear" '

to secede, he does moi touch the question whether
the other States have right to prevent her, if the
cause be insufficient.
The letter closes with some very unexcepton-
able sentiments of general character, which we
are happy to quote both for their own merit, and
because they indicate some remaining love for the
Union, as rs, in the bosom o. the writer:
"The constitution is the compact of Union, and OUT
safety depends strict construction OF it, 1t IS 10
our country, what the bible is to the christian, and
departure from it will be fatal to political security
But we cannot be blind to the fact that for some time
past little respect has been paid to it, and that the ten
dency of the Government is to consolidation. We
return TO lis principles expounded by the apos-
ties of republcansm in 9S and $50 or our noble fabric
will fall to pieces. Let us do all we State to
preserve it. Let insist the full measure OF justice
to ourselves, for people who do not value their own
rights need pot hope that they will be respected by 9TH
ers. We must use the means in our power and they
abundant, to enlghten the public mind, bring educa
ton to the door of every man. trusting TO- the ministers
of our holy religion to spread the principles OF moral
ty and justice among our people, and having done all
that depends human effort TO preserve the glorious
God upon exertions the means OF saving the
Coniederacy the terms and in the purity it was His
good will it should be established"
tits an augury worthy TO be marked, that the
"Southern Ri ghts" papers of Georgia hail Mr..
McDonad's adhesion to the Union position of
their State with evident satisfaction. The Au-
gusta Constitutionalist, for example, would make
it appear that on only two points does he differ
from Mr.. Cobb, viz : the merits of the Compro-
mise and the right of secession, and urges the vo-
ters to make these points the issue.

patriotic SURFACES of the people of Georgia"
Of Mr.. Cobb's qualifications and the prospects
of the party united in his support, the Recorder
speaks as follows:
Possessed as every one knows OF commanding tai

The N. Y. Express considers the ele ction oil
Mr.. Joseph B. Varnum to the speakership of the
Assembly in place of Mr.. Raymond who is abb
sent in Europe, sign of returning reason and
good feeling, which we hail with nexpressble
pleasure;
Mr.. Raymond it is now known (the Express says
wro'e those Abolition articles the Courier and Enqu.
rer which damaged that Journal so much, and in con.
sequence OF which he dispaced but in consequence
Of those articles, of opinions like them, he was in
January last elected Speaker Mr. Varnum, his
opponent in the Wing caucus, who then received but
feeble support because OF his attachment to more Ma.
onal principles. and his decided support of the Wing
Federal Administration
We do not suppose say that in the election of Mr..
Varnum the Assembly intended to express any opnion
but we hail the sign as removing the Wings favorable
to the Federal Administration from the ban of Pros
crption under which they have been laboriug and as
demonstrating the political existence here is not incom-
pable with sympathy for and respect toward the opn.
ions and feelings OF Wings in other States of the
Union.

Gentemen:-Perhaps there is some error in what YOU

tons made by the French mathematicans in regard TO
Mr. Foucaul,'s pendulum. From such consideration as
have been able 10 give the subject, help sus.
pectlng the truth will ultimately be found be this
l. A pendulum at the equator, set in motion exactly
East and West, or North and South, will remain per-
fectlv stationary in its line OF vibration.
O. II set in motion in direction between the euua-
tor and the poles it will around to the exact
North and South East and West line disturbing eau
apart in just six hours and then remain stationary
8. II the pendulum is placed at the pole, or any
where between the equator and the pole, the proectie
force OF the vibrations will in its proper effect carry it
around the circle 10 exactly "a hours. But in pro-
portion to the distance from the pole, this proecte
force will at the cardina points OF the compass ope-
rate more oblquey, and ofcourse more feeby so that
the progression Of The line OF vibration will at these
points DO more influenced by friction and other dstur.
bling causes and consequently unsteady and irreg.

force will at these points be absolutely imperative in
any lateral direction.

necessary.

CITY AFF AIR q.

SALE OF THE RICHMOND AcADEMY.-We perceive
from an advertisement in the city papers, that by direc-
ton OF the trustees the halacre lot at the corner of
Marshall and 10th streets, upon which the Richmond
Academy stands will te offered for sale at public auc-
ton on the Goth inst. As The city is directly interested
In the sale OF this properly to the tune $50 900 excu

and repairs to the Academy building during portion
OF that tme) the Chamberlain of the city has been d.
rected by the Council to attend the sale and bid for the
property vi course the city will become the purchas-
er, UNLESS indeed, the Trustees of Richmond College
may be induced to enter the lists and compete with the
CITY, 1t would be difficult to procure site in the city
better adapted to the erection oCoege buildings than
the lot above alluded TO- and we are confident the fine
building already erected thereon might be ms de service
able as a college, by the erection OF wings on either

II, however, the city shall become the purchaser of
the property, we trust that effort will be made to
provide better quarters for his honor the Mayor The
room in which he now holds his Court is entirely too
small The Hastings Court too, might be provided a
more suitable hall in the Academy building, than the
one now appropriated to that Court in the City Hail.
