Carpet Basgera. Special to Baltimore Sun. Washington, Sept. 2.

'' A young , colored man, by the .name; of Thomas Dudley,' steward on the steamer CelviUe,' Capt, Henry, running between this city and Bannerman's Bridge, Pender county, was accidentally drowned off that boat on Monday night last. The accident was not observed by any one on the boat. and, in fact, the young man was not missed until the Colville bad arrived at her , wharf. He was last seen when the boat was about three" miles from town, abont half-past 9 o'clock, at which lime the - crew were en gaged iu putting in wood from a flat,: two of which were in tow, while Dudley was employed in cleaning up his supper dishes. It is usual for him to lay down and take., a short nap after bis labor is- performed, while awaiting the arrival of the boat at her destination, consequently his disappear ance was not noted. Upon reaching pe wharf, however,-which could not have .been more than thirty minutes after he was, last seen, Capt. Henry called him to get a match for some purpose, when it was fonnd that lie bad disappeared. . It is supposed that he was tripped np in some manner by one, of the ropes attached j to the flats in tow and thrown overboard, when he, was : imme. diately , sucked under by the QalvUfe or one of the flats. " Deceased was about ''22 years of age and leaves a wife and obe child at Banberraan's Bridge,' .where he lived. He has been in the employ of Capt Henry for about four years, and is repre sented to have been attentive to his duties and strictly honest and trust worthy in every respect, so' much so that Capt H. would not have parted with him for any con sideration if be could have helped himself. Japiter and Alaro. . ; While we are by no means an advocate of habitual star-gazing, not even when the extraordinary attractions; of our own "morning glory" are in question, we would remind our readers that there is something very fascinating in the present appearance of two of the most beautiful planets in the solar system, Japiter and Mars, both of which can now be seen, about 8 o'clock in the evening, the former in the South, in the region of the "milky way,',' where it shines forth bright and clear, and the latter ic the East, a little to the South, near to the hori zon, and is of a red and fiery hue.: These, with their number of satellites, or moons, revolving around them, how present an interesting study to those who bavo the least fondness forjioling the appearance and movements of the heavenly bodies. Mars, the planet of war, is the most attrac tive as well as suggestive of the two just now. In the earlier part at the Crimean war, Mars shone in our midnight skies, though not so splendidly, as we are - an tboritatively informed, as be has. and will during the months of August and Septemberof the present year. We see it stated that Mars has; not blazed so fiercely in our skies since 1845, nor will he so shine again for forty-seven years, as during the last days ot August aud first days of Sep tember. The reputed influence of the fiery planet is very suggestive at this particular juncture in the affairs of mankind,' when in the far East we bear of hotly contested fields reeking with slaughter, where the blood of nations . mingles with the sands of the deserts and flows like water over the rocky fastnesses. J ; ' . But do not forget to take a look at the beautiful planets ere their lustre shall be dimmed, when it will be so ' many long years before Mars shall again glow with such celestial brilliancy. ? t Tberuouieter Keeoral. - j The following will show the state of the , thermometer, at the stations mentioned, at 4.35 yesterday evening, Washington mean time, as ascertained from the daily bulletin issued from the Signal Office in this city; Augusta. . . . .... -. 81 Charleston, .81 Gorsicana, . .-. . ... 89 Galveston,... 90 Indianola, . . . . . . .90 Jacksonville, . , . .84 Key1 West........ 92 Mobile... i..;.U.82 Montgomery .... .85 New Orleans,... .80 Norfolk....... 477 Punta Rassa, . . .88 Savannah,.. ....v. 80 St. Markv ..88 Wflmington,.'.Vff78 Exearalons TeDay. , ; .
