Fa miliac Its ails •continually recurring spec tacle may be,'itis ever magnificient, and ever J tew, and ever fills the mind with astonish 'neat and awe. Examined by the light of science and contemplated in its systematic regularity, the -teatime,. of astonishment and us% e sinks deeper and deeper; and though we aro nut prepared to say that "An un• devout astronomer is mad," we can imagine that die must be a req peculiar man if his science does not Ed the mind with admi ration-of the wonders of Nature and of his capacity to comprehend them. Fur really it it wonderful that such a comparatively insignificant being ns he who moves un the surface of this little globe, and who is tied down to it by the irresistible power of at traction, should be able to fortel, with un erring certainty, the very moment when the light of the sun will be stint out from the ear* by an intervening of its ' satellite.— Nay, the precise moment when a comet was risible from our globe nt a timo long past, when he was not in being himself; and when it will be again risible when lie must l's gone and, perhaps, -unremembered on the earth. Astronomers tell us also that the sun is 520 times larger than all the planetary globes which revolve around him, and 1.- 300,000 times larger than our own globe.— Such is the power of this luminary, that the planet Herschel is held in its orbit, lighted find warmed by his brilliancy, at the dis xmace of 1,800,000,000 of miles from his sur face. Besidesthe sun and the planets which revolve around him, there belong to the same .system, comets, the purpose of which is np •parently inconceivable. Their magnitude mid sapidity of asetion are equally so.— '['hey, too, are nevertheless known to ineig iiiliet.nt mortals to move with enact pre cision. One of them is, by human agency, I known to be 11,200,000,000 of miles from the sun nt its greatest distance, and to move fit the rate of 880,000 miles an hour when nearest to -ham. The tail of the comet which appeared in InBo, was computed by Sir Dane Newtou to 'be 50,000,000 of miles in length. Megnifitent and glorious as the solar sys• tern may 'be, what is it in magnitude and Aistance when compared with all the rum krerless worlds and systems beyond it? In I every clear night the naked eye may die. I waver nearly a thousand fixed stars, which are supposed to be such luminaries as the .:en and kale their attendant planets, as we :know our sun to have, it would comprise a mass of matter equal to 1,3.'t3,000.0U0 or globes of the size of our earth. The as_ sistance which the human eye has obtained in extending its view into the work of Na ture by artificial means, discloses to us the certainty dint orbs exist at such a distance from us. that a cannon ball moving at the rate of 480 miles an hour, would require 0.- -000,000 of years to pass from some of them :to the earth. The sun is computed to be 1 1 5,000.000 of miles from the earth: yet in -eight minutes and a quarter, the light reach es the earth from the luminary. What roust be the magnitude of /viaticums bodies schich are seen with the help of glasses a t such n distance, that it would require some wears'fbr a light to come to the earth. It is said by some modern astronomers, that stars nee seen at such a distance, that light must bane left them four hundred years hefure it strikes the earth. Beyond all that is now known to us to exist, there may be 44her systems, all of them in motion, and tohnbited, tt may be, by intelligent beings.

LETTER FROM Sr. LOVIS.—One of our citizens who attc: - ..1:3.the lute Republican Convention at Chicago, sends us a letter dated St. L muffs, May 24, giving an interest ing glance at the great West. We have had the pleasure of welcoming the writer before the publication of his epistle, but that does not detract from its interest. Snw Mustc.—We have received from 0. C. B. flirter, of Harrisburg. the "Arbor Waltz," "Old Friends and Other Bays," "Mary May" and "I'oliuto Gallop," four piccea of new music and ballads. We can• not speak knowingly of the merits of the mask, but R was accompanied by the as surance of Prof. Haas, through whose polite. netts it reached us, that we would had it good. On the strength of this opinion we can safely recommend it. Mr. Carter has the larg'st establisbrnent in Harrisburg, and can su pply everything in his line. INICTUAI. LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.-WO cull attention to the advertisement of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York. This is the wealthiest and one of the most reliable Life Insurance Companies of the country. Insurance in it may be con sidered perfectly safe, prompt payment of all losses being one of its distinguishing features. Dr. B. Rohrer has been appointed Agent and Dr. D. J. Bruner Examining Physician, fur Columbia. The fact of these gentlemen consenting to act for the Compa ny'is alone convincing proof of its first class character and standing. THE LAST WATER.—TiIe late high water has been almost a repetition of former par tial freshets, this Spring. The report of a general flood in the North Branch, men tioned by us last week, proved incorrect. Lumber has arrived from the Chemuny and points below, but nothing from the main branch above the mouth e£ that stream.•— There are owners here who have had lumber on the way since early in the Spring, and are likely to wait fur it some time. The river has gradually fallen, leaving a great ninny rafts at various points above us— wherever the water happened to fail them. From the very doubtful character of the promises of settled dry weather, we shall not be surprised if another "fresh" occurs during the present month. GENESEE FARMER.—We have received the June number of the Genesee Farnacr, one of the very best agricultural publications of country. We recommend it to our readers. TUE EDITOR. ABIZOAD.—We are forced this , week, by unusual and unaccountable dearth of news, to seek a supply beyond the borough limits. We have come to the conclusion, after such severe reflection as should enable us to solve a twelve-more chess problem, Cust our blessed borough is unmistakably dull just now. There is not to be found even material fur a puff; and when an E liter is necessitated to put forth a proclamation, inviting his friends and the public generally to come up and be soft soaped, the very depth of stagnation no ust lave been reached. We go abroad, then, to inquire into the affairs of the outside barbarians. Our venerated National authorities at Washington are doing the clean thing by the Japanese. They (the Japs.) have been, on the recommendation of J. 8., to see the Patent Office; they have attended a couple of brilliant evening entertainments where the usual quantity and arecet of female love liness showed; they have done the Capitol, the Offices, the Navy Yard, and have been done by the 3lembers of Congress, their wives, and all their relations to the tenth remove ; they have been presented with a bottle of Spalding's Prepared Glue. They have been corresponded about by regular and special scribblers„ and, worst fate of all, have been portrayed in the New York illustrated papers. They will leave Wash ingtcn in the course of a week to fall into the merciless clutches of the authorities and tag rag and bob-tail of Baltimore, Philadel phia, Yew York. Boston, &e. Poor devils ! they are only foreign Ambassadors, and what right have they to expect better treat meat than has always befallen the Nation's ' guests. They must submit to be stared at, hand-pumped, and generally slobbered over. Fortunately they eschew strong waters, or they might get a sight of the "monkeys"— , they certainly will see the Elephant—before heat in: our hospitable shores. Altogether ; we think the Japanese will go home truly impressed with the magnitude of the u9icer : sal Yankee. Next in interest to the Japanese, is "Old Atc." That name Will be the death of ua before the camp,iign is over. Is it absolute ly necessary that it should be inflicted on the people, and saddled upon the very wor thy and able man who will carry the Re publican banner of 1860? Is there no pos. Ability of electing a President without dim gusting familiarity with his name or cur. name? We fear not. One party, at least. ap:mars to recognize the absolute necessity of the prefix "Old," to the success of its presidential candidate. -We first remember it as borne by Harrison in 1840. "Old Bill Henry" being rather cumbrous, and "Old harry" a trifle too suggestive, how ever, the familiar, sign was prefixed to the abbreviated name of ono of the General's military achievements. Need we add that heWas elected . to the Presidency, as "Old Tip!" In '44 another familiarity crowded out the sneeessful one, and Clay ran as "Harry of the West." Ile was not elected. In '4B, as'an extra measure of precaution, General Taylor was dubbed "old Zack," "old Bough and Reddy," "old Buena Vista," &e. He was triumphantly elected. Un wonted respect, or some other mistaken feel ings, saved Scott in '52 from profanation, but, at the same time it lost him the Pres idency. By a singular blindness, the party relied in '56 on the early Christian style of part in Fremont's hair, and neglected the talismanic "Old." "Old (Wooly) Hoes" would undoubtedly have dune the business. During this campaign the Democrats for the first time lost their respect for the candi date.—some of them have never regained it to this day—and ran our dignified and very respectable President as ••Old Budd"— Taught by Old-Line-Whig bitter experience, the Republicans have now started their can didate with the "old" prestige, and we pre. sumo there is no use protesting against it— we must endure "old Abe" to the end. But we do rai,o oar voice against the "fence rails!" And we especially deprecate Cam paign songs. Don't, gentlemen! dont in flict on the public the virtues and prowess of "Uncle A." in wretched verse! Feet we have a fruitful topic for specula tion in the approaching Democratic Conven tions at Richmond and Baltimore, on the 11th and 18th of June, respectively. Will the seceders nominate at Richmond, or will they attempt a fusion with the regulars at Baltimore, with a view to slaughtering Douglas? Will the regulars put a suffi ciently sound slavery plank in the platform to satisfy the fire-caters ur even the more conservative South; and can they do so with safety to the party in the North? Will the outside pressure at Baltimore awe the Con. Nentioh into nominating the "Little Giant," or will Administration patronage within counteract popular clamor without? If Douglas is garroted will his friends run an independent train, with their hero iu the shafts? Will the Democracy, as they have heretofore invariably dune in time of dan ger, cohere, postponing the settlement of in testinal quarrels to a more convenient sea son, and harmoniously nominate a candi date acceptable to all sections? Our politi cal sagacity is not equal to the occasion.— It is all a muddle. There seems to be a labored effort at sport 'utility (1) among the friends of Gen. Sam Houston, (arrant old hum.) who has been nominated by "the people" on the battle field of San Jacinto, as an independent can didate for the Presidency. New York has endorsed him, in a mast meeting, at which Douglas, Buchanan, Lincoln, Bell, Everett, Sylvanus Cobb, Heenan, &c., were indiffer entlycheered. "Old Sam" is on the war path. For the spy. Sr. Lows, May 24, 1860. SAML. WRIGHT, ESQ. : -I do not wish to bore the readers of the "Spy," with a long, dry letter, knowing as I do that almost every person who can write his name and goes from home wants to figure in his village newspaper; but having an hour this after noon which I do nut want to devote to sleep, I have come to the fearful resolution to send you a few impressions of a short western tour. Most of your readers have, or should have, seen the Allegheny mountains, and this combined with the fact that nature never gave me much poetical fancy shall prevent my attemping a description or the magnificence of a ride over those large piles, rocks and hemlocks. After betiding the Sabbath, May 13, a little, so as to bring it into our shape, we landed in the city of Pittsburg, in the small hours of Monday morning, and immediately took our seats, or rather berths, in the sleeping cars of the Pittsburg Fort Wayne and Chicmo Rail road, en route fur the flourishing City of the Prairie State, to attend the meeting of the Republican Convention, and after a pleas ant little ride of twenty-four hours arrived there to find everything- - in a glorious state of confusion. Chicago is, as all your readers are aware, located on the south western shore of Lake Michigan .; it is a large and nourishing city having a popuLation of about eighty thousand. It is comparatively a new town, having been laid out in 1833. At the first election held in August of that ear, they polled twenty-five votes; eight of the voters still reside in the City. Chicago is the great grain depot of the West. Im mense quantities of grain aro annually shipped from there to the eartern markets. It is also one of the largest lumber markets in this country, and to us, who hal itually boast ofColumbia as doing a heavy business in this line, it was something of a surprise to see piles of lumber as high ns ours, covering the river front fur four miles.— The city is handsomely laid out, and the buildings are the best I have seems in any city; they have sic or eight hotels fully as large as the Girard, and one {the Tremont) which I think is larger than the Continental. Speaking of hotels, I take the liberty of say ing to any of your renders who may have occasion to visit Chicago, that I can recom mend the Metropolitan, kept by Mr. Skin ner, as A No. 1. This house affords every accommodation which the most fastidious traveller can desire. The county court house is a most magnificent structure, stand ing in about the centre of the city, the building and yard occupying an entire block, which is enclosed by peat iron rail ing. The house has an observatory on the ; top from which the visitor can bare a fine view of the city. Many of the private resi dences are very large, and of beautiful architectural design ; this is especially so along Michigan Avenue, a beautiful street I I running along the western border of the hike. ;On Saturday morning last see left Chicago fur Springfield, the Capitol of the State, and Lease of the Republican nominee fur .Presi dent, Abraham Lincoln, or as he is more familiarly called in this part of the country, t•Old Abe Lincoln." We paised down on the Illinois Central Railroad, through the grand Prairie. This part of_ the country must in time beceme one of the finest agri cultural districts :in. the World. I have neither time nor room to' enter into a description of this - fertile plain. In passing the thought occurred to me that this would be the place fur our mutual friend, Joe Black, as he could shook more birds here than ten men could _carry home. Spring field is a flourishing town ; many of the buildings are large and very handsome. In this latter respect they have greatly the advantage of Mr. Lincoln, as I am sure if ever he is hanged for his beauty great injus tice will be done; be is however, an affible, courteous and very able man, and it is very hard to tell whether he or Judge Douglas is the favorite son of Illinois—one thing is certain they both- have very enthusiastic friends. From Springfield our next important point is St. Louis, and here we are at the Planter's House, and a very excellent house it is: the chambers are large and airy, and the table fairly groans beneath the loads of good things which are on ft. Here our plates were first greeted with green peas, cucum bers and strawberries. Although I saw the same things at Chicago, there it was but sight, here we have them in abundance-- This is ihe City of the West, in a business point (Xylem: and every improvement made either in this or adjoining States, must tend to the growth and prosperty of this city.— We here met several Lancaster and Colum bia men, all of whom are doing well. But time and space and the supper bell, all unite in admonishing me to close. Yours. Tits Nets BANK Nores.—On Monday last the Muunt Joy Bank put some of their notes into circulation. They are of the denomi nation of ssq, lOs and 20s, beautiful in de sign and executed in the highest style of the art. The FIGHT ENDEll.—Among the latest news from Europe we find the following: John C. Heenan writes a letter to the Times, complaining of his inability to come to any arrangement with Sayers for a re newal or the contest. He says he is willing to accept the proposition that he and Sayers should have a belt apiece, got up by public subscliption—the true champion's belt to remain in the hands of the editor of Bell's Life, to be fought for again. later arrival announces that this prop osition has been accepted by both parties, and the difficulty settled. TUE SEVENTEEN' YEAR. Locusts.—These curiuue visitors are now perforating the ground iu the vicinity of Newark, N. J., in multitudes, their holes being generally about half an inch in diameter, and from four to eight inches deep. They are found most numerous around the roots of the cherry tree. Near the apple, pear and peach trees but few are found, and generally on the shady side. They are well-formed, and measure in some instances, when taken from the ground, an inch and a half in length.— Not so many are found in deeply trenched ground, or where it is hard and firm, and none are found around trees newly planted. THE OLDEST TREE 114 TIIE WORLD.—An extraordinary tree is stated by Sir. J. Em.er eon to exist in the island of Ceylon. It is known as the "80-tree," of Anar-ajapoora, and is, in all probability, the oldest histori cal tree in the world. It was planted 228 years before Christ, and hence it is now 2,- 147 years old. Ages varying from 1,000 to 500 years have been assigned to the bno babs of Senegal, eucalyptus of Tasmania, the drngon•trce of Grotavo, and the Chest nut of Mount Etna. But all these estimates are matters of conjecture. and such calcu lations, however ingenious, must be purely inferential ; whereas, the age of the Bo tree is a matter of record ; its conservancy has been an object of solicitude to succes sive dynasties, and the story of its vicissi tudes has been preserved in a series of con tinuous chronicles among the most authen tic that have been handed down by man kind. Compared with it, the oak of Eller :die is but a sapling, and the Conqueror's oak, in Windsor forest, barely numbers half its yem.rs. The yew trees of Fountains Ab bey are believed to have flourished there twelve hundred years ago; the olives in the Garden of Gethsemane were full grown when the Saracens were expelled from Jerusalem ; and the cypress of Soma, in Lombardy, is said to have been a tree in the time of Julius Clew.; yet the 80-tree is older than the oldest of these by a century, and would almost seem to verify the prophecy pronounced when it was planted, that it would "flourish and be green for ever." A. STAAar ()remitTioN.—Wo fancy that a woman—a pretty woman—with a large swell of crinoline, can do almost anything in the way of light fancy work a little better than the other sex. In the matter of genteel swindling no man can hula a candle to an accomplished "lady." Counterfeiters al most invariably employ females, to pass off their "queer," but ire never read anything more skillfully and shrewdly executed than the trick recorded in the following extract from a Cincinnati paper: "A few days ago a well dressed female alighted from a carriage in front of ono of the largest and most fashionable dry goods houses on Fourth street, and, entering the establishment, asked to he shown some shawls. After Looking over the stock she selected one worth forty dollars, banding the salesman in payment a hundred dollar bill, of the genuineness of which the cashier expressed some doubt, and submitted it to an expert in such matters who pronounced it perfectly good. The change was then handed to the customer, when she pointed out some blemish in the shawl, which bad previously been observed, and declined to take it, demanding the return of her money, i which was done, and the bill once more placed in her neatlittle portemonnisiejrom which it bad but a minute before been ex tracted. The attentive attache, somewhat disappointed at missing the sale, politely insisted upon her again looking over the stock, telling her he did nut doubt she could be suited, and regretted that he had not a duplicate of the one she had first chosen.— She readily consented, seeming desirous of making a purchase, but after once more ex amining the assortment, concluded that none would answer her purpose. When about to leave, she offered the salesman $33 for the first selection, which, owing to the blemish, ho thought best to accept, notwithstanding a rule of the house that no goods should be marked down. The shawl was then neatly ,enveloped, the hundred-dollar bill again brought forth, and the change carefully put away, when the lady stepped into the car riage and was rapidly driven away. A few hours later, when the cashier went to the bank, he was surprised to learn that the hundred-dollar bill was counterfeit. The truth flashed upon him in an instant. The lady had given the salesman a genuine bill the first time, and afterwards substituted fur it a counterfeit. She is an entire strang er, has not been seen since, and probably never will be again, at least in that establish- QM Iter.rotox rx JAPAN.-It would appear from the number and variety of religious sects in Japan, that the Government does not actively interfere with liberty of con science, nor sustain any system which Pro perly can be termed a State or organized ec clesiasticism. It is true that there is nom inally a distinct ecclesiastical power, and that the Mikado, or spiritual Emperor, is believed to be inspired and of heavenly de scent. But, while he receives all the out ward manifestations of respect, and even of religious reverence, his temporal power has been substantially transferred to the Ty coon or actu:il sovereign, and he himself has become the mere shadow of an Empe ror, or the representative of a traditionary or obsolete system, which has yielded to the more modern and military policy of the na tion. Indeed, it may be said that the Mi kado is a kind of a Pope without a See, and that he enjoys a general homage and a cer tain spiritual rank, but not the least au thority to interfere in the temporal affairs of the Empire. The purest sect in Japan adopts the dog mas of Sin-Syu, which, although somewhat obscured by a modified mythology, still re cognize one Supreme Deity, and teach bod ily and mental purity, and certain religious ceremonies of an elevated eharacte. It is said that the Divine laws are not construed so as to effect the future life, and there is no doubt that the disbelief of the Japanese in the doctrine of eternal punishment, as taught by the Jesuits, did much to suppress the growth of Christianity in the Empire. The Sin-Syu system is adopted in its pur ity by only a small portion of the nation, the great majority combining it with the doctrine of Buddha, the prevailing religion of the East, and which embraces in its sys tem over three hundred millions of souls.— The peculiarities of Buddhism aro too well known to need any description: but the system is probably practised in Japan very much as in China, as the sacred books are in the language of that country. Besides this sect called Riobus, made up of Budd hism and the doctrines of Sin-Syu, there is a large party in Japan who are followers of Confucius. These despise the popular re ligions, and affect a system of pure morality and charity towards their fellow men. LANCISTER The writer in the Wes/minister Review, from whom we collate these statements, and I who, in his turn, has gathered them from the Travels of Kampfcr, De Charlevoix and Oliphant, evidently sympathizes with the Japanese followers of Confucius, and espec ially fur "not presuming to dogmatize upon the nature of God." In other words, he feels partial to the unbelief of the irreligion ists; and it cannot be doubted that the fol lowers of Confucius have no belief in Divine revelation, or in its possibility, or in any form or system of religion. We have the authority of M. nue, the French Missionary, who exhausted every topic of interest con nected with China, for saying that skepti cism is the predominant influence in that country, and that the Chinese are a race of doubters and infidels. For this reason lie apprehends that the introduction of Chris tianity into China will be attended with un usual obstacles; and it does seem, indeed, as if a nation whose philosophers are so radically skeptical as to despise all religious sentiment and expression not come easily under the influences of spiritual light. As so many of the Japanese, especially of their philosophers, are followers of Confu cius, they are perhaps open to the same i comments as the Chinese; and their dry, emotionless, and undevout system or moral philosophy may perhaps be one of the causes which operated in expelling Christianity from the Empire, as well as an obstacle to its introduction at a future period.—Jour.
