FULL PARTICULARS OF THE WON DERFUL S1GHIS SEEN BY THE PILOT 'OF THE WM. PENN, IN THE SKY ON TUESDAY MOUT MARCH 21. On Saturday afternoon Mr Win Frances pilot of the Wm. Penn si amlioal, a packet lliat Jims hftwcctl t. inriiiiiiiu at.u nising Sun, la., culled personally at our ofliee to g:ve us the" lull partietilais of the wonder fill sight seen by liim on the niflit above mentioned, fully impressed with the solemni ty of the subject, and the awful reponsi liility of tel!iti!( any thing of this nature but what is sliictly trup. Mr. Frances inform ed us that he is a member of the church, and-assured us. in the most solemn manner, that what he wns aViotil lo relate was truth and noil. ing but the truth, and he is ready to convince any gentleman or laity that will call upon htm . He states that as tr.e renn was on net trip to this city, when between Risinj; Sun, and Auroa, about, II or 13 o'clock, P. M. he wss steering tho boat along, it being a star blight night, excepting a few clouds in the west low down, sky rlear, when of a sudden a light burst forth, the whole face of the earth appearing lo be lit t;p, which so blinded him that it 'vas with difficulty he could see any thing, even the most near object II is first impression was that it lightened very sharply, but its continuing convinced him it must be something else, which he could not account lor. The Cap tain of the Penn, James Pratzinan, was sit ting in the cabin at the time with 3 or 4 candle; he saw the light notwithstanding. ran out of the guard anxious to know the cause asked Mr. Frances if he saw the lioht; Mr. F. said he did. What in it? said Captain P. Dear only knows answered Mr. r . lor I Hon t. j rom tnai me luninin uis- anneareu irom looking over tne Hurricane tleck and went below. Mr. Frances now being very anxious to discover whence this strange iigiu came, moacu uiiigenuy om ;n the side of the pilot-house, in rather a south west course, but nearly over head, when lie saw the out-lines of a Serpent in the sky, in a crooked poskioo, except the tail which was straight, the head towards the Eesl. It turned to a livid bright red, deep and awful, and remained stationary in the stars. Mr. Frances watched it for two or thiee minutes,' when the tail pirt dissppeaied neatly to the middle, and the remainder in a gradual man ner formed iuto o distinct Roman G Mr. F. had time now to mind the chan nel of the river, and deliberate upon the beauty aud grandeur of a letter in tho sky! It waa remarkably interesting to hint, as may well be supposed, from tho- accuracy of its formation. After about- one minute and a half, he watching it and the boat al ternately, it changed, turning into a distinct O as perfect as was ever seen, in which position it remained as before. Mr. P. stated that he was surmised greatly at this, but not cared or frightened in the least ; and im mediately tapped the bell for the Captain to witness the scene, lha Captain did not come immediately, but after a moment or two appealed, but ere this, the figure ittiihe heavens had changed In a plain distinct letter D The Captain said to Mr. F. What's want ing? 'Come here quick ' said Mr. F. "and look tip yonder, did you ever -e the like!' The Captain answered, 'I see it!' and looked till it disappeared. Mr. F. states that when the 0 turned to D it formed a kind of oblong shape, and became stiaight on one side as a I) should be. When it disappeared it turned into the same oblong shape aa before, and gradually the sky returned to it original appearance. Mr. Frances states that he did not leave the wheel of the boat, but steered it to this city. He declares that let others ihink or say as they will, what he hat related is strictly true. He ia no Millerite, neither is he crazy nor frightened, and il gentlemen or ladies will call opon him he will convince them that what he ha told is (rue. Cap tain Fratzman remarked at the time, that it tvna something nnite inexnlirable. and WB sorry he did not Come to the deck sooner eo as to nave had a lull view oi mis granu, won derful and unaccountable phenomenon. " - "We publish above a narrative ofan ex traordinary phenomenon said to have Veen witnessed last week, which is mil forth in xMi. 7 r--tjfT surh a sha' ns wonM feem to leave but too little n oni to tlmil'i its truth.

Thai Mr. Flares did witness a very remarkable appearance in the sky, we are prepared to beiieve; but it seems too I'rcn! a sue ch of credulity to hclieye glial the Ift -w compos ing the name ofShe gicat Killer of the Uni verse was successively- formed and present ed to his astonished vision. Prenl.cc, in copying tUe article, aivs. it i ahsnr.l to suppose stu-h a sii;lit was eeeu by single inlivi '.iuil. when th?re are hmulie.l of persons in the cniuniimiiv abroad at all hours of ihe night, none of whom observed lU 11 would Do. stippoitng uie wnmo pue nomennn to have overspread the whole hea vens or I'Ceti remotely situated; but we ore disposed lo believe that it occurred near ihe earth, mid was nrt therefore visible at any great distance. During last week we heard that several persons had witnessed utiusal. appearance in the heavens on the night in question. It was said that one individual had seen angels flying through the air; while at Lexington in this State, others had wit nessed two splendid rainbows at the same time arching the sky from east lo west. From all these rumors, -we aie led to the conclusion that on the night of the 21st, a remarkable meteor or luminous substance floated through the heavens,' illuminating the earth at times with its bright enrrusca tions and assuming various wonderful and fantastic shapes. To the few who were fortunate enough to witness it, it appeared under different nspccw,. ami the imagination of the observer has given it form end sem blance most consonant with the ttain of ideas which its startling sublimity inspiied Madison ( la.) Xews. A SMOKINO ANECDOTE. At Frankford lately a urious cirr umstance occurred, illustrative of ihe Intruder of the suily English and the dull Oerman. In coflif-room, an Englishman was HHiitling too close wi.h his back lo the stove, and a German kepi close to him, puffing the unsa vory fumes of his cignr into hi face. The Englishman reinonstraled. but the quiet Ger man kept puffing away as if he had not hearJ the Englishman's voice. At last the Engl'shman showed a fighting disposition, anil maintained thai no man had a right to puff smoke nut of his mouth into another' lace, niul that smoking ought to he confined to smoliino; rlnoc. The heavy German, wiih all the slowness and gravi y of hi na tion, coldly replied, in the worst of English -"Vs., ya. Sir June Bull, what rie'ltt have you to complain in make r-f tie stinks of my moke,. when you're one coat have bin burnt, and make d d slink for ten minute, and I nothing say to you." The Englishman, to his great discomfiture, found that his coal, or rather cloak, was shrivelled and burnt up to the waist by the V,eruwn stove. A LUCKY THOUGHT. Durinfir the early part of tha French in- vasion qi, Algiers, a sinau party oi tr.e French troops fell into an A rob ambuscade, and those who were not imuiediuiely slain or taken prisoners, were- nblired to put more trust in their heels ihnn in their mus' kets. It happened (hat ihe regimental band was with the pa-ty, and the musicians made a retreat with the rest, tn a pro is lima movement of the most rapid execu tion. The ophicleid player was, however embarrassed by his instrument, ana he was hesitatinsr about carrring it father. when happening- to cast a Parthian glance behind, to Lis consternation he beheld an Arab horseman close uroniin. Father flight waa useless! there was nothing; for him but to figtt or surrender. Years of desert slavery made a gloomy prospect and yet, what could his side sword avail a gainst the apcaro his pursuer? Despera tion is the pareWof many a strange res ource. The lately abused ophicleid was" lifted to his shoulder, musket fashion, and the muzzle brought to covet his foe. The Arab was struck with panic. Doubtless this was soma devilry of those accursed Giaours gome machine, of death, with a mouth large enough to sweep half his tribe into eternity t Not a second did he hesi tate, but, wheeling, round, be galloped off ; ' ' ' ' at face that soon took him out of whet he conceived might be the range of the tTranclfnther of all muskets. Our musician tnnde pood his retrent, with a higher opto' fon of the powers of his histruinent than he had ever before possessed, and the story was the nniusmrnt of ihe trench my lor ini-ny a dny afterward. f NEARLY GONE. Diirii)ihe late freshet in onr river, R. II. Finn, Esq, of Lost Prairie, discovered n man up a gum sapling, where h had skill' nt the time; the water being nearly eight feet in depth. The poor fellow was quit-.' exhausted, and would undoubtedly hare fell into the tvuter, but for a judicious contrivance, he had effected upon ascend inr the .aiding. I.nehed around htm were several bl-ck jack vines. These Were a- train wound round the tree, and in this con-i tlition he sat at though iu a basket and so firmly secured, that hu exhausted ener gies were iitsuflicient toextricnte him from his perilous situation, even should he have desired it. We learn that the name of the unfortunate sufferer is Anderson. Dur ing the four nights he waa on the sapling, the wenthcr was egtjcjr ivly-xold. ami Jit waa wet through. In this situation it ia a wonder that he survived. Ilu discovery was quite accidental. I lis cries -had been hoard very indistinctly, and when search was ma lo, ihey soon ceased. Mr. Finn im agined I hut they had proceeded from some runaway neio, who had fell into the flood. I le was in fact returning home in his skiff, mid accidentally took a court which brought iiim in view of the irceuupon which Anderson was fastened. In near vz it 'he won! 'Save me," uttered in a feeble voice, wcr,? distinctly heard, and looking up, the unfortunate man was Been rt cliniug on the tree. He was speedily mken down, and removed to a house, where proper n-sloratives were adminia- teretl, and his- life soon placed out of dan ger. Jyalclntocl.et llcrulJ. Two of the Memphis journals the 'LaL- and the h.nquner are battling furiously about the Comet: On t will have it a ''Comet,' and the other hangs on to the "Zodiacal Lioht." The Eedjtor of the Baton Rogue Gazette, annr unces his solemn conviction, that the appearance now in the heavens, is ""a long streak of light." CURIOUS FACT. The eflieacv of silk in rebelling- a mus ket or pistol shot, has frequently been mode a subject of doubt and dwcussion We have lately met with what, we con ceive to be a strong demonstration of re pelling force in a late publication, by a medical olficer of the army, Dr. A.dam Neale, which derives additional interest from the celebrity of tho person princi pally concerned :- A very promising young- officer of Engineers, with whom 1 lived in habits of the greatest intimacy and friendship, while employed in repair- .l 1. I e ":.. I. j fj ing tne oreacuea oi viuuua notiifo, con sulted me respecting an obstinate head ache and giddiness, which I found was principally occasioned by his wearing a stiff block leat her slock, I earnestly re commended him to lay it aside, which he tenaciously declined ; when as a farther inducement I told him that in the event of substituting a black silk hankercheifr it night one day preserve his life, as silk would certainly turn a ball which might penetrate leather. At length he com plied, and, as I predicted, his headsche left him. We soon after separated, he going to the light division, ana my station being with Iinl Hill. Iho campaign commenced, and in a few weeks I learned with the greatest grief, that ray galJant friend had fallen at the head oft he first storming party at St. Sebastian. I was then stationed at Reanoze. many learucs distant.. As I believed him dead, my sur prise "and joy were great on receiving a L'tter from him some weeks afterwards, ncquain.ing me that when on the very glacis, he had been wounded with a ball by i man on the walls. He fell covered with blood, which "streamed in profusion from his month and nostrils; one of his own corps dragged him immediately into the trench. He was carried to his quar ters, and the wound on examination, was Iironounred mortal; the ball not being bund, was supposed to have lodged in the neck.. He lived, however, for three days, and no bad symptoms coming on, the sur geons began to doubt the accuracy of their opinions. The tapper who saw him fall was examined, to ascertain whether be had seen the bullet ; which was instantly nrnilucprl frnm hia wsaiatenat noe.ket. aav. tig, that untying Mr. Reid's silk handker p IVhI chif.hefouLj.rt of it .mWtotd wounu, ana usinrr juue iurce in w un drawing it, the ball came out with it i not a singlei.hread of tho silk handkerchief having given way, as appeared on exam ination.
