Storms, &c.


Ia an issue Of the DiSpatch OF fey days
ago we observed Il criticism on Il prediction
astronomical Of the learned SaXhy. We
alludc TO that Of the Providence JouTn0i
II suggested TO us that the editor was SET
entificallva rs far behind the times a. was the
old man in North Carolina politically WI"
did not know that the war was over I'LL It
few weeks ago.
No storm or rise oil tide can he located at
4 point OF time, Is can solar or secondary
eclipse. There must always be "ceteftS
pdrtdus." In this case, ~ you SaEeiy Sn2-
geSted the peculiar direction anu force OF
the wind forced on the tidc-wavc sooner
than under other circumstances the con-
iunctiou Of the sun and moon would oruI-
narily have done.
The sun crosses the line OH the 2l>t OF
September but does not the equatorial
gales come rs frequently on the 2Oth or 22d !:
Does this argue that the cqulnoctial gales
do not pro cecd from this maximum rar-
faction on the 2ISt: Hence the proximity
Of the sun and moon TO conjunction for
thiytv-SiX hours before actual conjunction,
combined with iavo.ing winds, produced
the storm pIccociouslE, though according"
to fixed laws. 2tSfKlNA.

I'VE let our correspondent have his
"say." Ills illustration is unfortunate rs
addressed 10 Us, who do not believe there
ever was an cquinoctial storm, or storm
caused by the suns crossing az imaginary
line. Such storms are as imaginary rs the
line. 4 writer for the Dispatch, who has kept
meteorological tables for many years past,
has proved by these tables that during all
these years there were more rainy days be-
tween the 18th and 18th Of almoS, any other
Lieutenant SAXDY's prediction, it is now
not worthy Of notice. Our correspondent
is a smattcrer. He takes for truth what

on the 9TH Of October, the banks OF the

WORSE AND MORE OF Ir-Judge McFar,
land has met with a damaging defense in
the last issue Of the Stripes, and may well
say, "save ME from my friends" If the ar
ticle contains any ineligible point, which
is a matter Of extreme doubt, it sustains us
in saying that with Mcfarland on the bench
Chinese testimony must and will be admit
ted in all cases, civil and criminal. The
case Of the negro George Washington, mot
mentioned by Judge NJ Farland in his ruling
admitting Chinese testimony is referred to,
and though the Supreme Court decided that
in that case Chinese could not testify against
a negro, therefore NcFulmd wds bound to
decide that they could testify against Vhite
mcn We have, and do admit that McFar
land believes, conscientousv, that Chinese
