PROFESSOR EsrY's THEORY OF RAIN ExPLop-
Ep.-lt is u part of the meteorological theory
of Professor Espy that prodgious fire will so
heat the immediate atmosphere to a
grand rush OF cold air and vapor to that point

not mistaken, the Professor petitioned Congress
for the privilege of burning hundred thousand
acres or so of woodland to prove the truth of this
theory. Now, however, with all the woods of
the north in n blaze, we have no rain Professor
Espy's theory is exploded. 1t won't hold water,

IIoMsrEAp BIILs.-Some of the Western poll
ticians seem to be wilfully ignorant or more than
ordinarily wicked. They assert that homesteads
have been granted in Kansas and Nebraska 10
actual settlers, and that general homeste I'd
bill had also been passed The first statement
was corrected by this paper several weeks since
the latter is of more recent invention, but has
Ind the effect of depreeating land warrants. 1t
is true the homestead bill passed the House of
Representatives, AS every body ought to know
who reads ut all, but it superseded in the
Senate by the Graduation bill of MIR. HUNTER,
and the latter never taken up in the House.

IIAnILfTY OF TELEGRAPH CONFERENCE.-The
New Orleans Bulletin commenting upon the late
decision in Indana,of sui for damages against
a telegraph company says
at is very clear to our mind that legislation is
yet needed TO regulate telegraphc operations so
that the rights of all parties shall be absolutely
protected. Telegraph Companies must be held
to the samo responsibility that attaches TO com
mon carriers. A steamboatlis bound to deliver
goods ii may engage to transport 10 "a certain
point, within a given tme,or be linble TO damages
for failure. So it should be- with telegraph com
panies. If they agree 10 transmit message and
fail TO do SO the law should come in and award
the injured party suitable remuneration. The
great principal governing contracts should rule in
all cases.

THE SOUTH AND THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.
The venerable Or. Cartwright .of New Orleans,
has written lengthy communication, published
by the Delta on Northern abotionism and
Southern slavery. in which this remarkable pas
sage occurs: -
If British aboltionism. on its first advent into
our country, had been called TO a stern account
for its misdeeds in Van Deman's Land, whore it
has swept the negro race almost from the face of
the earth, and for the wrongs il infected ON hu-
mainly in Ireland Indin. and every where else
in the range of its power, we would not now have
seen large portion of the people of Connect
cut, Vermont, and Massaohr-oftz in open 1,'cl-
lion against the constitution, iaws and hatEar'ty
of the United States nor would we have seen
the democracy of the great state of New ok
helpless, hopeless, powerless--between the up
per and neither milestone of hard shell and soft
shell, grinding 1t into dust and ashes. But if
Connecticut Vermont Massachusetts,, Western
New York ard the Ohio Reserve will continue TO
be the dupes Of British policy and force upon the
country a dissolution of the Union, it is but right
and proper that one of the consequences of dis
union, which their blind fannticism has dsqunli-
fed them from seeing. should be made known to
them in advance, aud that is, that The South
tcouid be compelled, IN SELF deJtnce. 10 rerire the
African stare trade a grdnder and more err
tensire scale than the morid has err nitnessed.

POLITICAL:
Speech of Hon. r. 8. Brooks

Ip the House Of Representatives, June il, 1854,
the Civil and Diplomatic bill being under
consideration, -. gy
Mr.. Brooks said The disposal made yester-
day of the bill to aid in the construction of a
Railroad to the Pacific had reference to the final
action of the: Hoise, and was not intended to
check discussion, bnt TO give time to the friends
disseminate more general information on the
subject. It is apparent to the slowest observer,
that In no place throughout the country is less
attention given to speeches, or have they less
influence and effect, than hcre; and if the House

time during tile remainder Of this session.
