SENATOR PAY.RD ASb TiE CREDIT-NIoBI-
IIEK.-ln both of the celebrated letters Of
Cakes Amcs all,sion is made in significant
inuendo that would leave the Inference that
the Hon. james a. Ba,ard, Of Delaware,
was seeking and had obtained stock in the
Crcdit-Mohiier, but in the assignment Of
stock in the pencil memoranda it will be
remembered that Delaware was not credited
with any shares. Mr.. Bayard's letter. WRIT
ten about the time that Nj: hncs was tulk-
ing about "rlacing stock where il
would do GOOD will not only show how
Mr.. Anles bad mistaken his man, but has
Il further significance cumulative upon the
Credit-Mobtier's influence, OF attempted in
hucnce, to corrupt legislation. When Mr..
BAyard declares that he "coud not consiS-
tently vote, with my (his) sense Of duty, upon
L question in which | (he) had Il pecuniary
interest," it is very evident that all idea OF
letting him have stock for VIII Oh he says he
expected to pay was abandoned. and some
other State was substituted. The letter was
addressed to MtCnnlb, who forwarded it to
Cakes AmeS, and is as follows: ~
q" Washington. January Ia, 1SGS.-My Dear
Sir: / received this evening your letter Of
this date informing me that Mr.. Ames, OF
Massachusetts, had one OF two th0lsand dol
lars Of stock In The Credit Mohilier for me.

verSalion with him, and that it was to your

as to the nature atid object of this corpora
lion. and you will obige me if YOU vii! give
my son az much information As you have in
relation to them.
II do not know Mr.. Amcs personally, and
must wait of course till he addresses me on
the subject. l take it for granted that the
corporation has 10 application to make to
Congress on which shall be called upon to

CLOUD uRsrs.-;A correspondent of the
Shelby (Tenn) Guide gives graphic and in.
teresting account or the most wonderful
cloud-bursts that have ever been heard Of
in this country. These GlolId-bursis. or sud
den torrents that fall in an area Of very limit
Ell extent. constitute most wonderful plie-
l'omena. The mountains where these bursts
were SO violent are split literally from top to
bottom, several willie cracks gaping open
and running under the large trees. The
waters in their descent swept stupentio,lS
rocks. large trees, and all manner Of debris
before them with Irresistible force and fury.
passing in one instance in few Yards of q
genlleman's house but doing no damage. 1t
is thought that the cracks In the mountain
spoken of were caused by electricity. Alto
gethcr the scene presented is one of peculiar
interest to the scientist, and the writer in
vites Professors Thornton and Lupton to
visit the "land Of cloud.bursts" and examine
into the causes, etc. He thinks from the
mineral properties Of several springs that
have burst out in the track of the torrents
that iron, silver, and lead may be found il,
this mountain, which lies about twenty mile:
north OF Columbian. ="

farmers OF this county last year saved enough
clovcr-sccd for his own sowing, sold enough
to pay Tor all the dry goods used ia his fami-

is the way in which lic did it: Hcput wire
bottom in a trough in which he fed his
stock, the wire being two or three inches

would scatter the seed almost pure through

of Sta,nton, has virtually closed with an inn

namcnt and grand ball, which took place, az

apprehension that the storm of the equinox

was reason to apprchcnd that, with some of
the Young ladies at least, the "lons, long

clouds looked mere propitiouS, and after
dinner, under the reving influence of the
glorious God OF Day" the audience re-
panied to The beautiful meadow, where tie

around which fair bands hud entwined ever

the reputation of the distinguished Knights

comparisons are odious." 1t is but Justice,
