CAUSE OF THE GULF STREAM.
Ifr* Editor—It is stated as the opin
ion of Mr. Shoales, an experienced nav
igator. that the Gulf Stream is noth
ing more qor less than tlie waters of
the river Amazon, forcing their way
against wind and tide through" the
ocean. From the following descrip
tion of the battle of Marstoiv Heath,
Sir Waltej Scott appears to have en-.
tertained the same ppinion:
—The battle's rage
W:.s like thS strife which currents wage,
"Where Orinoco in his pride,
Rolls to the main no tribute tide.
But 'gainst broad ocean surges for
A rival sea of roariiig war; *
"While in ten thousand eddies driven
The billows fling their loan: to heaven,.
And the p»le piiof.seeks'iu vain,
Where rolls the- river, where -the main.”
The aptitude of human nature to the
orise the supernatural, to draw upon
the imagination for facts, and to adopt
the opinions of learned men without
investigation, has led to errors in ' Sci
ence which no thing, can correct-but a
strict construction of the laws of naMr-e*
and their rigid application to facts af
ter they have been fully ascertained.-
Now it is a fact. that the .Amazon 1
does not contribute as much water as
vbe Mississippi, and', in consequence of
its great width, flows into the ocean -
with a much gentler current.. But
even if its currents were strong enough
to force a channel eh I uws Jl tJl o' weean,
instead of flowing, as the Gulf Stream,
to the Banks ofNewfoundland, it would
strike the coast of Africa about the*
Cape Verd Island.
In other fanciful theories the Gulf
Stream has been atributed to the cur
rent of the Mississippi; when >the fact
is, the current ot the Mississippi,
th.rough its principal passes, would, if
continued in a direct course strike the
coast of South America: Another fact,
which, independentbf all would over
throw either of the theories, is, that
twenty snch rivers as the Amazon
and Mississippi combined would not

Gulf Stream.
The Gulf Stream can only be ac
counted for by the law of nature
which alike governs atmosphere and
the ocean. Theverticle rays of the
sun around the Equator heat .alike the
atmosphere and the ocean, . and effect
their elements in precisely the ..same
manner. Around the whole circumfer
ence of our globe, as far as the ocean
extends, there is a superficial .current
of warm water flowing to the north and
south from the Equator, and ' at the
same time an under current of cold
water flowing from the north and south
to the Equator. So that mariners.-fre
quently discover ic bergs that sink
deep into the ocean drifting towards
the Equator, while at the same time
their ship, which only draws a few-feet,
is drifting in the opposite direction.:—

The Prospect-
The weather continues seasonable
with us, and crops look .remarkable
fine. Corn is. falling, and we have
heard of wheat selling at $1 00 per
bushel. About as low a3it ever gets.
The forward corn is now rapidly
?ilkiug and.tasseling, and farmers arc
in high spirits. . If the favorable sea
son.continues a few weeks longer there
will bb the heavest corn crop ever
made in this part of the. country,, un
less some other untoward - disaster
should prevent it.
The Storm—Male Hilled by Lightning-
On Monday evening last,. a storm
passed over a portion of our country
I may be charged with presumption, i understand it was very severe on the
but it does seem strange to me bow an v
unc aequa nted with the Jaws of nature,
and with a map of North America and
the Gulf of Mexico before him, can find,
any difficulty jn accounting .(or-what
causes the Gulf Stream. The whole
of the water which is heated in - the
Gulf of Mexico flows north, is obstruc
ted in its' direct .course by Florida,
thrown into a body, and finds its wav
around the *cape ; when, coming in
contact with the regular current from
the Equator, its .course is changed to
the north of east, which throws it upon
Newfoundland, and the • west coast of
Ireland.

now .becoming so common at many

calls things by their right names ;—.

ing his immense'loss by fire, and his
having.been thrown.back so ! mucli on
account of the dcstruution of his fences,
we were pleased to find that energy
and industry had placed him once
more in the-van, and as far as we saw
ifc- his crop promised as usual an abun
dant? harvest. , Our eyes were- regaled
with as fine a field of rye as we ever
saw, and looked to us as thin piney
woods land.. We could not account
for it, until MrkD. explained that it
was on extra fine variety of r \ e especi
ally for winter grazing, and,lie hvA -ap
plied a sprinkling of guano, which had

! as he had tried it. He counted on
