THAT NEW GUANO ISLAND.
Sep, 8, 1856.

To ne Editor of The " Y Tribune
In The Morning Express Of the 9th inst. there IS
raragrath relative to the report of Commodore Mer-
vim in relation 10 the Guano Island, in which the
editor. in his usual nsnuating manner, asks if the
puapo upon said island Is really valuable, why do
not the company send out vessels and obtain 1t
Their ro asons obvious.
First: The Object Of the American Guano Com
pnpy WAS, to secure their rights in the islands 30
discoveries; which rights they have secured by the
hin nessd at the close Of the late Congress- before the
renort of Commodore Mervin made its appearance.
Second: Commodore Mervins report Is considered
by The community at large, who are in any manner
capabIe of investigating It's contents as worthless =
We would mention here for the information oil all
that the Birdme so emphatically alluded to by the
scientific Commodore, consists OF vlscous substance
usually made of the Juice of hollybark extracted by
boiling mixed with third part OF nut OIL or tlin
crease used To catch birds For this purpose the twgs
of bush are smeared with this yiscd substance
Vide JItbster's Dictionary.
L. it not quite plausible, that the green veruure
over which the innuinerabe birds were heverlng-as
frieesd by the Commodore through his spygiass-
composed of CREASED bushes placed there ny some
sLrewd Yankee whaeman, to catch the birds, as Com
modore Moryins report The Commodore was mum
plugged at the Island of Apa, Upolu, where he was IN.
formed that bir.-lime existed upon New-Nantucket
and the neghboring islands. 1t so happens, however
that what the Commodore calls bird-.ne, l. bird-eX
crement (guano, which he was sent out to obtain as
specimens. Did he do it!
Finally, TO answer the query in The EIPress we
would state that measures now IN progress or nnS
out vessels for the purpose of going to the SAID san
TO obtain gusno thererom, and for carrying OUT anu
fulfilling 10 the letter the objects OF said company, Vi
all which the public will be duly advised r,o,n pp

| PROFESSOR PEIRCE on MIRACLES AND
JJGGLERY

To II, Editor Of The n. y. Tribune
SIR: Your Reporter racked his brain for tweny-four
bours before lie could discover the meaning OF your
critioue on Prof Perces remarks, reported by him, on
s, hituasm. OF course the report was abridged not
verbatim and you appear to have considered the Re-
porter a. making Prof PIERCE call miracles, Jnsgley.
This was by means his meaning.
Dr. Hare said that the movements which he saw
could not possibly be referred to natural law; they
were contrary to all the laws of physics. Prof PIERCE
then very Justly remarked that in that case the nvest-
cation Of the movements was beyond the sphere of
science Whether the movements were really the work
of spirits and IN that miraculous, or whether
they were tricks of legerdemain in either case they
wee according to Dr. Hare's own statement not the
effect of natural laws and therefore not subjects for
scientific study Science seeks TO discover the harmony
of creation the lars that govern the physical world,
and when DIR. Hare himsef declares that the move
rcns cannot possibly be referred to natural lars ha
excludes their consideration from the sphere OF sc'enc
inquiry.
Your Reporter cannot wherein this argument
there is any ground for you to cast doubt upon the or
thodoxy of a scientific gentleman honored among all
his friends for his earnest Christian faith.
Your ebedf. seryt. N M

Mr. Headey has aimed, in this work, to present
popular view of the biography of Washington, and OF
the events intimately connected with his public ca
reer in less voluminous form than would be required
for detailed history of contemporary affairs 1t was
originally written for Graham's Magazine, and has
been published in several numbers in that periodical.
The author has made free Of the interesting facts
brought to light by the researches of Mr. LOSING and
has also been favored with all the papers of Rufus
Putnam, including his revolutionary diary and cor"
rcspondence which are said to furnish much new M
formation with regard to the movements of Washing
tom The work is written in an animated style, but
often betravs the marks of careessness and want Of
precision Thus the date Of Washingtons death is not
given and the only clue which the reader can discover
would lead him 10 place that event about twenty years
before il actually took place. In the romantic account
of Washngton's inst acquaintance with Mrs Cutsis,
the name Of that lady is not mentioned, and she IS
spoken of only as "the Young widow who was des-
tined to become his wife, "a young and beautiful
widow" the handsome and fascinating young
widow the beautiful young widow, the
Fascinating woman "the blooming widow" and
so forth. The volume is embellished with numcr-
Gus engravings, but they are placed at such
distance from the which they intended to
illustrate that much Of their interest is lost An add
