i The Comet and its Future.
. f , We have been informed by (wo gentlemen
ofthi. vicinity, that ,on carefully observing
the, cornel for several successive - evenings,
iHe'y"coold distinctly ’ see flashes pf light,
timed like pulsations', extending every’ half
ppinute or so from . the nucleus or orb, for
about a degree or a degree and a half up (he
tail; This might have been a visual decep
tion, but we believe that something of the
Kind has been .also reported by telescopic
observers. As everything that relates to this
beautiful. spectre of the ’ skies, which now
presents so brilliant and attractive an ap
pearance, possesses interest for readers in
every -class of we subjoin a
few extracts,.from a’ long communication in
ilia. Charleston Courier of Saturday last—
merely embracing points, however, which we
dQ.jbot remember to have seen elsewhere.
Tfie writer says:
! ' “The comet is now at its perihelion, the
nearest point to the Sun, about fifty millions
of miles from the Sun, and moving through
space with its greatest velocity, about 86
miles per second; The Comet’s distance
from the earth is now about seventy millions
of miles, and hence the tail, 12 degrees long,
must be about fifteen millions of miles in
length.”
The subjoined. interesting journey of the
ce'esliai stranger through the regions.of in
finite space or ether, is traced :
• “The Comet will continue to approach the
«arth until the lllb October, when its dis
tance will be least, about fifty millions of
miles, and its brightness greatest, about
double what it is at present, and its daily ap
parent motion most rapid. In the first fort
night of October it will describe an arc of
nearly 60 degrees, more than equal to the
fengihof its whole course in the preceding
four months. After the 11th the Comet will
recede from both the Earth and the Sun, and
will rapidly diminish in brightness"; it will
cross the planeof the Earth’s orbit on the
18<h, being then in its descending node,
passing from the north to the south side of
that plane, the ascending node having been
passed about the first of April, more than
si* months before. Its course through the
heavens will carry it, moving from right to
left, very near to Arcturus, in the knee of
■Bootes, through the Northern parr.of Libra,
•crossing, the ecliptic at its descending node in
Scorpio, five or six degrees to the left of
Aotares, passing along the eastern side of
the figure of the Scorpion as represented in
the globes during the last part of October,
in November it will proceed inlo those south
ern regions of the heavens which do not rise
above our horizon, but observatories in the
southern hemisphere will probably be able
to follow it to the end of the year. By re
ferring to these constellations in the heavens,
any clear evening,about 7 o’clock, its future
course may ba traced. Arcturus is the
bright' red star nearly west at that hour,
fifteen degrees above the horizon. The
comet will be very near it on the 4th and sth
of October—possibly pass over it. Scorpio
is in the southwest, near the horizon. The
planet Venus will be near Antares on the
16th, and on the 19lh the planet and the
Comet will be quite near one another.
The path of the comet pierces the plane of
the orbit of Venus, at a point near the orbit
itself, and Venus and the cornel are both ap
proaching this point. Venus will pass it
first, about the I2lh, and the comet only one
week after; but this interval will give ample
scope the latter to pass without collision, its
ttain included, for at the rale at which these
travellers on the celestial highways proceed,
the first twenty-four and the second thirty
si* miles per second, when nearest, on the
18th, they will yet be eight or ten millions
of miles asunder. If however, further ob
servation show that the comet’s motion is
more rapid than supposed above, or the at
traction of the planet accelerate its mode of
■ travel, the proximity may be greater than we
have staled. It will be worth while watching
the comet at this lime, to observe whether it
goes'through any marked physical changes.
A Lovb of a Pbince. —Jung Bahadoor,
(he Prince of. Nepaul, is expected in Eng
land early in the Spring on a visit to the
English Court. The Prince, who, it will be
remembered, was lately created a C. 8., is
married to the eldest daughter of the Rajah
of Coorg, now resident this country,—
The Rajah’s second daughter, the Princess
Gauromma, is being educated under the
auspices of her Majesty, and placed by her
will with Mrs, Drummond, at Kew, for that
purpose. We have heard rather a romantic
story connected with the reason of Jung
Bahadoor assisting the English with his brave
band of Ghoorkas, but it is from such an ex
cellent source that we place all reliance in it.
It is to the effect that, during the slay of the
Nepaulese Prince in this country, he became
deeply smitten with a lady of great rank and
beauty, and offered her marriage. Birth
and creed alike forbade the union with the
noble Asiatic, but, ere he qbitted the shores
of England, he prayed the’ acceptance of a
small token of his esteem, a beautiful Ori
ental ring, which the Udy with much re
luclance accepted. It was accompanied by
the singular promise that if she ever had a
command to make, a wish to be carried out,
the return of the talsmanic ring to his High
ness would insure its due performance. As
the story goat, the lady, in high rank, re
turned the jewel, with the wish that Jung
Bahadoor, would revenge the full and horrid
•laughter of her countrywomen at Cawnpore.
How the Prince has fulfilled his promise
every Englishman knows, and will testify
their estimation of his daring when he reaches
England. —Court Journal.

Judge Wilmot is in town holding a Special Court.
The Judge is looking well and seems to bear his
election to the Beach of Bradford District by the
comfortable majority of 5.000 voles, with commend,
able philosophy. The attendance upon Court is not
large.
Our young townsman, Mr. H. H. Wood, is rank

desiring anything in his line cannot find an artist

Dr. Macintosh. —The lecture of this gentleman
on “ Barns and Ins Poetry,** given In the Court
riousc, Wednesday evening of last week and repeat,
cd on Monday evening last, gave unbounded satis
faction to oar people.' The lecture evinces not only
literary ability of a high order, but fine analytical
powers joined to that subtle discrimination which
invariably characterizes the true PoeUSoul. The
Doctor enriched the lecture (if (bat be not treason
in a Shakspearian sense) with some of the sweetest
of the poet’s lays—singing *• Highland Mary” and
“ Willie brewed a peck o* Malt,” with marked, yet
diverse effect. He concluded with a recitation of
“ Lord Ullin’s Daughter,** the.which was received
with prolonged applause-
On the succeeding evening he recited a satirical
poem entitled 11 Napoleon Le Grand 1 * to a good au
dience, of which, as is usual in Wellsboro, the la
dies largely contributed. The poem is racy with
satire and rich in that wit vylnch docs its work up
on the risibles of the Inner, rather than the Outer
Man. Il'should be read in the drawing room, of a
winter night. The Doctor is an admirable reader.
On Saturday evening, al the urgent solicitation of
friends, the Doctor read Macbeth, and to a full hou«c.
The highest praise we can bestow upon the perform,
ance is, that it disclosed more of the animus of that
great drama, to our perceptions, than the vaunted
acting of Forrest. It must be remembered that to
read Macbeth, is to lake upon one's, hands not only
Macbeth, but the labors of a company of Star ac
tors. With these facts in mind,’the performance
entitles the Doctor to high praise as an artiste.
Dr. M. will repeat his lecture on Burns, at Tioga
on Thursday evening. 21st, Inst., at "LawfenccvUle
on Friday eve following. He will visit Corning,
Addison, Horncllsville, Wellsville and Coudersport,
next week.' We bespeak full houses for him wher
ever be may go, and can "assure our friends that
they will find him as genial and kindly in soul as
the best lays of bis illustrious countryman are gen

The President’* Bull.
The President’s Bull! Is the President n hus.
bandman engaged in improving the breed of cattle?
Not a fait of it, friendly querist; he Is no husband
and doubts are obtaining as to the final syllable—■
man. Is the President a Pope, and does lie fulmin
ate bulls? Partly bo, but principally, our worthy
James is an Irishman, and the Irishman and the-
Irish bull are one and inseparable, you know. The
-President issues his bull annually and tethers him
out in the green fields of politically backslidden
Bradford —“ for a few days, only !” as the itinerant
Dagncrrcan has it.
Men are said to become the prey of strange fan
cies in the mild winter of Sid age. Mr. Buchanan
became the prey of a strange fancy a few weeks
ago. It seems that he fancied h.mself a political
Cain and heard the blood of defunct Whiggery cry
aloud to him from the ground. Day and night it
flaunted the pitiable old man, and at last he issued
his Bull to sootbo the troubled manes of murdered
Whiggery. 44 Go,” said he to the patriotic D, M.—-
44 Go thou np to the land of Bradford where the
44 the forces of those pestilent fellows, Wilmol and

And the Bull departed straitway ; and journeyed
northward for the space of a day and a night, until
he reached the land of the Wilrnotiles.
And es he surveyed the land he saw that it was
fuir to look upon ; and I be lilted np bis voice and
wept, saying.
Behold, this land is full of fatness yet will not
pay tribute to the mighty lord of Ebo-shin, whoso

feareth the WUmotites, even as the master of a

Now, therefore, bath he sent me onto yoa, saying
—Go ye up into the land of the Woollyheads and

men say of the power ot Ebo, it passed away as a

REPUBLICANS ! Wc congratulate you upon
your sixth brilliant victory over the Mulalto-democ.
racy—the faithful friends and allies of that great
central Power which has declared that no Territory
is free, under the Coostilulion. Six times have you
(ought the fight, shoulder to shoulder, and as mjiny
times has victory perched upon your standard !
This has been a hand-to-hand fight, and the most
desperate of the six. Ybu have not only achieved &
victory over James Buchanan, but over the Father
of Lies and bis numerous progeny as well. You
havo proved your devotion to the principle of Free
Homes for Free Men ; of Fair Play in the Territo
ries and of Freedom for every foot of the Public
Domain, You have rebuked the men who endeav.
ored to poison the air with base slanders against
better men than themselves, and failing in that, lb
bribe you into an abandonment of your principles.
Yours is a prouder victory than Napoleon ever won-
All honor to the Republicans of Tioga!
The County, —The defeat of Mulatto-democracy
In Tioga is utter. The “ grease spot,” that unctu
ous residuum sometimes discovered marking the
place where the last kick of a parly was made, as
far as Hunkerism is concerned, is wiped out. That
party had the field mostly to itself. Its members
scoured the county day and night, sowing slanders
broadcast and exhausting every art to create disaf.
lection in the Republican ranks. To counteract
Ibis, with the exception of Mr. Power, not one of
the Republican candidates lifted a finger, so to say,
until the eleventh hour. The effect of this indo
lence may be seen in the falling off in the majority
for the candidates for Assembly. On the whole,jit
equals the victory of lust fall. Then we elected our
local ticket bv an average majority of 1,900. The
average majority for the local ticket just elected is
about 1,800. Wilmot bad 3,284 votes in the county
—Grow has 3,211; —a decrease of 73, only! The
majority of Mr. Grow over the Mulatto Slate ticket
(and this majority, next to the average majority for
the ticket, omitting Stale officers, is the best
measure of parly strength) is 1,762 ! His majority
over competitors is 2,422 ! The entire vole of the
county, last year, was 4,477; this year it is 4,533
less by 56, only than the entire poll ol 1857. This
Is indeed a glorious victory! Well may the Re
publicans be proud oi it! All honor to the masses,
ever true to Freedom where they are intelligent.
The election of Mr. Power by upward of 1000
majority, is a victory in itself. All Molaltodom
combined to defeat him. His triumph crushes that
party completely oat. We will pass over their bul
lyinga, their bluff and bluster; let it go. We val
ucd it at its true worth from the first; and the only
disappointment we have met lies in the increase of
Power’s majority upon our estimate—Boo. The

superior legal attainments and a tried and true sol*

Mr. WillistoQ—which, in itself, was all well enough.
But Mr. Munroe found Jordan a hard road to travel,
and concluded that it would be well enough to run
with Willision and against Mann. Potter had no
right to a .Representative, argued the consistent Mr.
Munroe; Potter was weak and Tioga strong;.and

The Result In Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania has elected the nnii-Buchanan
Stale Ticket by some Twenty, Thousand ma
jority, though many of the anii-Lecomplon
Democrats, who have not fully renounced
their old parly connection, voted for the
'“regular” candidates. John M. Read, whom
this revolution places on the bench of the
Supreme Court, is one of the ablest lawyers
in Philadelphia, always a strong Jackson and
Van Buren man, who revolted at the repu
diation of the Missouri compact, and gave a
hearty support to Col. Fremont. He is nn
out-and-out Republican. His opponent, VVil
liam A. Porter, also now of Philadelphia, is
a son of ex-Gov. Porter—a much younger
man than Mr. Read, and with Ttis reputation
os a lawyer to make. If gentlemen of like
legal standing to Mr. Read were always
chosen Judges, the prejudice against consti
tuting a Judiciary by popular suffrage would
soon fade out. Williaji E. Frazer, the
new Canal Commissioner, lives ■in Fayette
County, and is called an American.
The new Legislature will be strongly Op
position in the House—nearly three to one—
but il is believed that the many Democrats
holding over in the Senate will insure a ma
jority of one (17 to 16) to that parly. This,
however, is not fully settled.

A New Territory Purposed. —A corres
pondent of the Bosion Jbbrnal, writes thus
from Sumner, Kansas : J j '
“There is a political movement of some
importance going onto connection with these
gold discoveries. It jis \ leformation of a
new territory from the veslern portion of
Kansas. The panTfea in .if e vicinity of Pike’s
Peak, it is said, will, early day, elect a
delegate to Congress and send hint- to the
next session, with a petilSln for a new lerrj
torial organization. Itliaj said that a gentle
man from Kansas Cityj ftho is to start with
ono of the trains leaving <his week will
return as the emhryotic Congressman.
“The ground upon;which they ask this
action of Congress will be that, situated as
they are, five hundred) Uiles from the well
settled portions of Kansas, arid its seat of
government, it will be Jnjipossible for theip
to find any protection; fijom our territorial
authorities; and that unless furnished with
an organization of lheir|iwn, rnob law must
prevail, and they must| differ from general
anarchy. Seven hundred miles they will
claim, are.quite too much for the length of a
Stale, where railroads a - S. known and steam
boals- impracticable.” j |l
Mr. Gurley, Republican candidate for
Congress in Cincinnati,|sas formerly a Uni

voting for a Universal! t|, one who does not
believe in a hell?” i ‘pes,” was the old
