His idea was ijuite plausible. He conceived that the solar system included "an immense number of sma4l bodies, either frairments of a large mass, or original accuiuulatiotui of nebu lous matter, which, circulating around the sun. encounter the earth in its orbit and are ignited on hardly six months old from its conception, now fi>rms and is forminy: as complete an organization in all the States of this I'nion, as any other party.

Ander.son, of th^ Savannah Blues, visited the Police Headquarters on Friday night. Several Rholitionists were in attendance, aud strove to induce the slave to abaiidon liis ma.ster, tellin; him that being now in a free State no one had th' right to restrain him of his liber ty. The negro, however, steadily refused to avail himself of their sugge,tions, saying that he was attached to his masUir, and also that he did not think it would be right to run away. A large body of free negroes were crowded on the walk in I’]lm street, ou'lside of the Heaihjuarters, who also endeavored to j)ersuade the slave to follow this advice. The latter, however made his escajte, and returned to his master. The following is another version of the affair:— Karly on Friday evening, a colored luau, whose bu^ine.ss it is to attend on military compunie.s, be came ac(|uainted with the slave- in i|ue*'tion. Capt. Anderson, who hud luought the man alonir with Mr. Pool at Siilisbury—A Damper to an Ellis man.—The Salisbury Watchman, in its ac count of the di.scu.ssion there, says;— “Mr. Pool made a plain, fair, and honest speech. All who heard him must have felt that he was tell ing the simple truth in as plain a manner as possi ble. He rnadenoe/fortut display, anti yet thepeojde listened to him tliroughout with the ;rcatest in terest. He was repeatedly and heartily cheered, and that too, u ithout any onr's sayfje!itim,'dni\ that is more than can be said for Hllis. “Just before the speaking commenced, one of lillis’s friends moved about through the crowd, whispering to their men—'••holler for Ellis and cheir him atroni/ and lomj." He rave this word to one man, who, looking up, said “/’// he shot if' I do.” Crops and l\tliti s in /iladen, ('ol(tmhas and liuheson.—'I'he crops, in that portion of Colum bus through which we pa.ssed, are, as elsewhere throughout the country, .sadly in need of rain. In some places in the county they have had one or two refreshing showers, but a small sprinkle was the best they had enjoyed where we were. The political “world” of (’olumbus seemed to be in a lively and .!a!ubrious condition. The ^'Little Ad" has his tail curled, and his bead nji. and is moving over the plains and through the swamps, and marshes of the county, like wild fire. AVe had every assurance that Jones wouhl be elected from that Senatorial District, althouirh Taylor’s friends seemed to be in good spirits. We were told tha^. Jones would increase his vote in Columbus, and that Stevens, »/ valorem Dem ocrat, would be elected to the House of(’omnions. From Kobe.son we heard glorious news—(Jen.

It was seen at Philadelphia at about o’clock, Ray the papers of that city—rose suddenly from the horiz >n. a)>-jut the size of the full moon, tra versed an e isterl} lige, dropping fire in its course like a rocket, till it pas.sed away in tho southeast, like a rei ball, about twice the size of the planet Mars, It was seen under similar circumstances, at Danville, Penn., at Ncw-Haven, alon; the ■^vhole line of the Hudson Hiver, at Buffalo, t'tica, Albany and Troy, also at Newport, Rhode Island, and undoubtedly at other places from which we have no report—at each place, appearing to beat no great distance above the spires of the churches. .Just .so the moon, at her full appears to shine di rectly over every street in every city, and over every ship at sea, in those portions of^ the earth which she illuniinates.—)orlc Tinirs. Another account says,—When it first appeared it seemed a perfect ball of fire giving forth a lurid light. It rose rapidly to a point about half way between the horizon and the zenith, and there indulged, still moving northeast, in a few meteoric gyrations, changing to the form of a chain-shot, or dumb-bell, and twisting so as to resemble the little balls of fire which sometimes follow the ex plosion of a rocket. The body here divided, and two portions, blazing, and leaving a long train of sparks behind, passed off into utter darkness, leav ing no trace behind, and making no note of de parture. The exhibition lasted probably a minute and a half or two minutes. The day had been excessively hot, and after nightfall there were extensive and freijucnt electric appearances all along the western horizon. The meteor showed that shade peculit^r to the Bengola light, and clothed all objects in a ghxstly hue. These facts may be useful to scientific men in their iavesti'a- tiona m regard to the mysterious viaitant. ° against it.self, and against which the jud^'inent ot heaven has been pronounccd.” Afanly at Leaxt.—The Piijua Ohio) Kmjnirer recently put up the Breckinridge ticket, but the editor, after a few days, said that as that ticket was only intended to defeat Douglas, and as the Republicans footed the bill, he would go the whole fijiure, and support J^incoln. Consecjuently, he has put up the J.,incoln ticket.—Rich. \Shiy. The London Timcn Owned by the Rothschildt. — It has recently been proven that the London Times is owned by the Rothschilds, and the fact “creates considerable sensation in J.ondon. The statement of Mr. John Walter, M. P., in Parlia ment, that he was not the principal owner, as well as the course taken by tho 'I imes for many years, proves and confirms it all. Not one single move on the political chess-board of Europe, that would have any tendency tc injure the securities of any nution that were large creditors of the hou.se of Rothschilds, particularly Austria, but has been vehemently opposed by the Times. Methodism m t /-ance.—The Methodists in France count at present 15i chapels or places of worship; ministers, ti colporteurs; 72 local preachers; 1,- 446 inembers, 0.> on trial; 203 teachert; 1,H91 pu- pus in the Sunday schools. r\io Use fur Dogs.—Kn exchange says the t profitable use that nine-tenths of all tho dogs in this coutitry could be applied to is to mi^ about five dogs with a barrel of lime and ten loads of muck in a compost heap. A barrel of wood ashes ruiiy be added to help the decomposition of the bones. A dressing of this compost, applied to sheep pasture.s, would .greatly enhance the pro- UUCtlOQ of wool, A’ most Sin julnr f’asrt.—.Some months airo a young man named Kennedy,in Wilmington, N, (’..bought a dirk and wa.s .showing it to .some of his compan ions with whom he shortly after met. In the cour.se of the conversation about the new purcha.se he made a lick at his own brea,st. in pl-iv, as was supposed; but the weapon penetrated his heart, and he fell dead Another case of unintentional self destruction occurred at Mr. 31onrne, in Iredell Co.,^ few davs aso. e learned from the ^entletnan who was I Coroner in the case, that a negro woman, ot .Mr..

There it a lesson in both these cases, and tho^e who are wise will heed them.—Suhsburi/ Watchman.

The train wa.» stopped and backed; the baggage-master and others took lanterns and searched the sides oi the track ex- pecting to mangled and bruised corps. After proceeding a short distance the nii.s.sing man rose tip, remarking to the basigage-master, “Don’t be scared, boy. I’m just off the track.” His face was slightly scratched, which was the only injury apparent, but he was completely sobered. A tearful Leap.—At Boston, on Wednesday evening Sarah Brown, while laboring under a tit of insanity, leaped from a window in the fourth story of her hou.se, across an alley five feet wide, landing uninjured on the roof of a house opposite, twelve feet lower than the sill of the window from which she jumped. She was properly cared for by the police.—Boston Traveller. -4 Fearful Objection.—W^e commend to our lady readers the following fearful objection to a most execrable fashion; oung girls wearing straw hau with little bells pendent from the brim, will, in the short space of two months, become crosa-eyed. Instances have occurred of malforma tion of the eyes, caused by the wearing of these httle bells.” A rather novel suit has been recently contested in New \ork. The pastor of a Presbyterian church sued the pastor of the Methodist church, in the same village, for the recovery of two ser mons which the plaintiff claims to have lost a year since, and which, in his complaint, he charges are “converted and disposed of by the said de fendant to his own use.” It is a general remark that all cla.sses of persons are ever ready to give their opinions.

Manufacture of Boots and Shots by St"i " The Boston Traveller says tlfe present mcthi'l shoe manufaoturing is rapidly becoming old-fa^’- ioned. There ia a steam shoe factory on Saxton ■ river, Vermont, where all the hand labor u« about a shoe is in lasting on the uppers. The soli-' are cut, rolled, levelled, and then shaped by nis chinery. Thoy are blacked, polished, and ged by machinery. They are also bound, stit^! ed, punched, and sand-papered by luachiutr.' The establishment contains room for four hun dred hands, none of whom requir€ any of the iJi- familiar tools or the shoe bench. The goods s: present cost full as much as those made by hau*^ labor, but the styl^and liniah is far superior hand work. This advantage, besides the rapi'i'" ty with which the goods can be manufactureil. has made the experiment of an entire departure from hand labor already successful. “I remember,^ gays the celebrated Wesley-i “hearing my father say to my mother, ‘Ho^ couIj you have the patience to tell the blockhead tlitf same thing twenty times over?' ‘Why,’.said if I had told him bat nineteeD times, 1 should have ftU my UUr/'l DkaTU ok .Jo Statesman, model K his la^t at his oonntrj ington city, m Satur death of John ^>uinc man living whose tensive aud accurnt .whohad mingled so n the gr^t men of tbe and who had imbibe plea and practices o public.
