chinery to drawoit up trom'the depths
where nature placed it,, Pumps are
an excellent. thing in their place, but
they are not exactly the article for
watering cattle. GIqaS 10
"A remedy for this evil has been
discovered. Springs can be manu-
lactured equal to those that are made
in the original manner. '"''''' u
"It has bean a matter ofdoubt witt
many, whether, on large plain like
our western world, artesian wells
could 10 rendered a, ailable, or wheth-
er the water would rise to a point
alove the surface of the earth. This
doubt has been entirely diSpelled by
actual demonstration. Numerous
wells, in various parts Of the country
have been made, and have as readily
thrown the water above the surface a,
il in mountainous countries.
"Several wellshave been sunk near
the eastern border of this State, and
we believe without exception they
have been triumphant success. The
expense Of making these wells is not
as great as generally supposed. We
think the average depthis not above
two hundred feet The cost OF snch
a well cannot be greatly above those
OF the ordinary kind, .S,uj'
"Weare not sufficiently acquainted
with the expense or capability ofthose
wells to venture an opinion, but we
cannot see why our own city could
not get q good supply Of water in thit
manner better and cheaper than in
any other manner. Let this be is il,

are to become o. prime cause Of the

Suicide Of Senator Rusk.

The suicide Of Senator THoxAs
y. RUsE, Of Texas, has fallen plinr
lmlly upon the public ear. TLoses
who knew him most intimately will
be most surprised at and regret
most deeply the sad event. He
was a gentleman Of the highest social
qualities--al&ay animated, and tni.
rormly cheerful. His friends will
find it difficult to remember any cir
cplnstance in his lie indicative Of
q temperament which would be likely
ltd lead 70 selrsitcStfuction.
Mr.. RISK was one Of tho earliest
of the American Emigrautsto Texas,
and took an active part in the strug-
giles which secured its independence.
He particularly distinguished himself
at San Jscinto, was a trusted counr
cillor of the People in the infancy
OF the Republic, an efficient advocate
of Annexation, and one OF its first
representatives in the Senate of tho
United States. 10 this high office
he was chosen in 1845, and had en-.
tered upon his third term Of six years,
which would not have term n .ted
until 1868. rWla.a.H4
Senator RusK seldom spoke. But
when he did, he was listened to with
attention. His speeches were always
iorciJle and brief Although o,
'Southron, and an uncompromising
advocate Of Slavery, he was opposed
to the introduction of the p, opooition
to repeal thu Mi souri, Compromise,
and 10 all aggressive measures call
culated to unnecessarily keep up the
agitation Of the Slavery question -
For this reason, he was not cordial
in his relations with Sentor DouaLAs>
and was not always trusted with q
knowledge Of the initiatives Of meas
ures having for theirobject the extern
sion OF Slavery. His hobby was In
ternal Improvements and the promo
ton OF the interests of Commerce.
Hence he was a 2 'alo& advocate of
the Pacific Rail Road, and uniformly
voted tor liberal Steamship and Rail
Road grants. $40 .l. pN.f l.
AT tn, time Of his disease, he was
Chairman OF the Post Office Com
mittee Of the Senate--a position Of
much influence, and for which he was
deemed to be we'll adapted. For
some years there had been an ob,erv-
able coldneSS between Senators RusK
and HoUsToN,--not,, however, so
marked as to interfere with their so
cial intercourse, but sufficiently SO.
to prevent perfect cordiality in their
official action. s.5 s1iA ..a1c
No cause is yet assigned for this
melancholy event. lie lost his wife
a year since--a lady Of high worth,
to whom he was deeply attached. It
is possible that, on his return TO his
home, thislosS may have preyed upon
his mind, and led to the fatal deed.
,,s AS we have already remarked, his
temperament indicated nothing of
the kind. In society, he was minh-
ful and buoyant, but too often nude
use Of the strong expressions which
arepopular in borderlifc. He ver-
thelesS had an pndercurrent Of deep
thoughtfulness, and was known, du-
ring a recent session Of Congress,
to have twice read The Bible through
in course. p IatWJq in
Mr.. RUsR was about fifty years Of
age; and entered upon his third term
IF his Senatorial Office on the 4th Of
March last. Ntlf 'NHr aH'h ,NiN%
