Free caloric, is that form of heat which I
is observed-by ahe thermometer,-utd-sentse
of touch. It is disengaged. very-copious
ly, in the action of test +.f 41e _ditleren't
forms of mattee upon each other; and in t
the-ordinary process of combustion, it is
11isengaged from the atmospheae by the
chemichal combination of certain mole i
cules of the combustible material. with
oxygen. It is also disenogaged by the ac
tion of certain chemicals upon each o-li
er; as the comhinatiou of sulphuric acid
and water. and by friction, as in the ope- i
ration of bring cannon.
Tteterm specific (ea-t, is applied to the
dif'erent substances to the same tempera
ture. Thus, the quantity of ht at which
will raise oil two degrees, will rise water
only tne ; hete a quantity o1 water. at
the boiling point. 212-, has twice as much I
heat in it as oil at the same deg:ce-thc c
specific heat of water being 1, that of Oil
is 0 5. Notwithstitnding water, at 212"1
has more than twice as tmuch heat in it as c
oiat 22* it cannot be detected by the
thermometer, or tise setnses; in othier words,
their sensible temperature is the samte.
Latent caloric, is that form of heat which
exists in an insensible state, itn differcntf
substances. C
:jg'r example, in liquifying ice, it takes ~
1400 of heat to conivert it liio water, btt
a'fter this change has taken-place, the-wa

If this wonderful process of nature were
to cease, there would be no rains or dews

consequeuce would be that the earth would
be parched, and the productions which

and all other tribes of animated natur
would in a shtrt time perish from the
earth. Of such imtportance is evaporation,

praising the'aame of the Eternal. he men

THE GEORGIA AND TENNESSEE

Some misconception exists in relation
to the routs. of tho rail toad now in pro

(formerly Marthasville) on the heights of
the Chatahoochee, is the terminus cf the
Georgia Rail Road, 170 miles in length,
connecting it with Augusta. From At
lanta, there are in progress, roads to Nash
ville and Knoxville, (Tennessee.) froth
the some point, the connection with the
Mississippi. is by a line drawn slightly

Grange, (Tennessee,) ,on a toad already
projected and chartered-from LaGrange
to Memphis, on another, road, is in pr6
greai. The Monroe Rail Road from
3Macoli will soon he extended to Atlanta.
From the same point (Atlanta) a branch
will after the next session of the Georgia
Legislature, he commenced to connect
with the Montgomery Rail Road at West
Point. This, when completed, will, as
will be seen' from the maps, not only es
tablished a connected Rail Road between
this place and Charleston, but also with
North Alabama, by a route; if not so di
rect, more practicabie and avdilable thai
any other spoken of.
