A PERFECT RAT DRIVER Chloride of lime
has frequently proved sure thing to drive
rats away from any place iniested by them.
An ounce of it, scattered in the place where
they come to feed, or wrapped in a bit of
muslin and put in their holes, where it ac-
quires dampness, produces gas that is not
offensive to man, but is to the rats. If chor-
ile of lime is moistened with muriatic acid,
and placed in drain, vault, or cellar, and
closed from the air little while, the rats
will depart; because it will be death to re-
main. This is also good disinfectant, and
will for time cure the cfflnvia of a dead rat.
One application of dry chloride of lime to
rat holes has driven them away for year,
when a renewal Of it started them again.

POSTSCRIPT!

A HITCH.-Just as we were going to press We
received Thursdays Union, in which we find the
following:
"When it was announced yesterday that an
election of Senator had been achieved, we were
prepared to congratulate the people of the State
upon the termination of the controversy. But it
was soon rumored that an error had been made
in counting, and that McDougall, who was de-
clared elected, did not receive majority of the
votes cast. The aggregate vote was announced
at one hundred and eleven, of which the 56 for
McDougall would be majority. 1t turns out,
however, there were ll3 votes cast, requiring 81
to elect Under these circumstances McDougall
did not receive majority of the votes cast, al
though he was declared elected by the President,
ana the Convention adjourned sine die. 1t was
a strange blunder, and leaves the Senatorial
question in a muddle. The President of the
Senate and Speaker of the House signed certi-
ficate that McDougall was elected, but it had not
been signed by the Governor before the error
was discovered"
The vote will be found detailed in another COL
umn. Had Mr.. Miller, of this county, voted for
McDougall instead of Nugent, who is declared
to have avowed secession sentiments immediate
ly after his nomination, the Senatorial question
would not now be open to renewed controversy.
Watt also voted for Nugent.
BAD MEMoRY.-Owing to treacherous
memory, we suppose, three of oursubscribers
at Lafayette Mills, viz: 7. A. E. Lowry, Geo.
Jenkins, and John Anderson, lately emigra-
ted without either informing us of their
destination, ordering their papers stopped,
or settling up year and a half's subscrip-
ton each. We wish those of our patrons
who contemplate leaving the country or
changing their places of abode, would notify
US of the fact, even if they do not wish to
square up old scores, so that we may stop
the paper. 1t would be great deal more
manly in them than to go off somewhere and
leave US to find it out the best way we can.,
We have been treated this way before and
are about tired of that way of doing business.

The Union men of 8 Louis and yicini-

hereby notified to leave this State forever,
BY the Sth of May, 1861; an every min

Value of Illinois Currency.

The following, from the Chicago Iri5'n4e
OF last Saturday, shows the value of the cur
renoy better than anything that We can
give:
We have been at some pains to MAKE out
a table showing the present value IN ex-
change of the currency of this State. The
value of the stock security OF each bank is
estimated by the following quotations, being
the same given in yesterdays Tribune and
furnished us by F. G. Satonstall, Stock
Broker of this city.
The list OF banks are divided into three
classes, first. those secured by the stocks OF
free States and OF the United States second
those secured by slave States third. those
secured partly by free, and pa'tly by slave
State bonds
1t should be borne in mind that on the Isl
of July, six months interest g per cent? on
all the stocks viii be due, and retained. u
paid, by the State Auditor as 50 much addi-
uonal security. The interest on all Northern
stocks and the United States Will be pune
tually paid Some OF the Southern States
may perhaps pay their July interest. Ken
lucky, North Carolina, and Georgia are the
most likely to do 50.
THIS table will be very valuable for the
