The Cincinnati Times, in epeakfng of the
above quotation, which has always been attrib
uted to Gen. Washington, s-.iys:
Tut non-j but Americans on guard at night,'
that is to say when peculiar danger threatens,
trust cone but Americans with the power in
dispensable to self-preservation. This order
cf General Washington is dated July 7, 1775,
at Cambridge headquarters, and reads thus :
"For the future, uo man shall be appointed
to these stations (sentinels at the outposts)
who is not a native of this country."- .
Thus the order was a standing one, not spe
cial, which makes the case the stronger.
The followiug extracts from the original Or
der Rook, lell by the late General Hand, who
was the Adjutant , General of .the American
Army at the close of tbe Revolution, will con
firm the statement of that paper: .
-CamisdiiG2 HiAKQUARTERS, July 7, 1773.
By his Excellency, George Washington Gen
eral Orders, (Parole, Dorchester;' Counter
sign, Exeter.') The General has great reasou,
and is disp'cased with the negligence and in
attention of those officers who have placed, as
sentries at the outpost, men, with whoso char
acters they are unacquainted. He, therefore,
orders that, in future, no man shall b:.t ap
pointed to these stations, who is not a native
1' this country; this ordar is to be considered
a standing one, and the officers are to pay
obedience to it at their peril.

Tue Expected Great Comet: The nenii
hent astronomer, Mx. Babinet, member ot the
F rench Academy of Science, gives some very
interesting details relative Jo the return of
that great comet, whose periodical course Is
computed by the most celebrated observer at
three hundred years.
Our cyclical records show that it was obser
ved in the year 104, 392, GS2, 975, -again in
12o4,and the next time in 15:36, always de
scribed as shining with the most extraordina
ry brilliancy. Most of the Eu.opean astrono
mers had agreed in announcing tho return of
this comet in 1318; but it has hitherto failed
to appear. In fact, it is not so easy or simple
a matter to compute those vast cyclical peri
ods as some superficial persous, , who do not
look beyond the day of the year ic which they
live, may imagine.
We are, however, assured by Mr. Babinet,
that, up to this moment, this beautif ul star "is
living on its brilliant reputation;" ao that Sir
John Ilerschel himself was wrong when he
despaired of its reappearance, and put crape
on his telescope ! We are now informed that
acelebrated and accurate computer Mr. Bom
me, of Middleburg with a patience and de
votedness truly German, has gone over all
previous calculations, and made a new esti
mate of the seperate and combined actioi.s of
all the planets upon this comet of three hun
dred years: and he has discovered that it is
not hist to us," but only retarded in ifs motion.
The result of this severe labor gives the arri
val of this rare and renowned visiter in August,
1858, wiih an uncertainty of two years, more
or less; so that between 1836 and 18G0 those
who are then living may hope to see the great
luminary which in loo'j caused Charles V. to
abdicate.
BAD HABITS.
The following, on clergymen chew ing tobac
co, we clip from the New York Tribune :
Squirting tob ceo juice is emphatically not
apostolic. We read of the primitive teachers
of Christianity doing coarse, hard work, but
we never hear of their forgetting good man
ners. Indeed, Bishop Hooker emphatically
calls St. Paul a gentleman. But imagine the
Apostle taking a quid out of his mouth and
then expectorating a shower of nasty saliva,
befare lie began his famous oration ! And is it
less improper for the preacher of the Gospel
uow-a-d.iys to chew and sjiit 1 Figure him at
a Conference where he rises to enforce with
oratoricil generaliz jtions the great interests
of the Church and humanity, and prefacing
his discourse by spitting out the nastiest of
poisons ! Shame on such clerical uncleauli
ness ! It may benefit felons and rowdies but
gentlemen and Christians never !
Important Enterprise. Both branches of
the California Legislature have pissed a bill,
which will probably be signed by the Gover
nor, appropriating $100,000 to construct a
wagon road from Sacramento to the eastern
boundary of the State, by the way of Johnson's
Cut-Off. We learn f rom the San Francisco
Ilcrall that this is the most rug-red and diffi
cult portion of the road from Salt Lake to
Sacramento. The Herald sjysthat ns soon as
the wagon road shall be cons tructcd, some of
the California stage owners and express men
will start a line of stages to Carsou Valley,
and so on to Salt L ike.
Choleka at Mejipiiis. There were twenty
seven deaths at Memhhis, (Tenn..) for the
week ending on the 12th, of which seventeen
were of cholera. The secretary of the board

This fell disease (cholera) made a sudden
outbrcik in tise upper portion of the city
about the first of the week, and proved fatal
in almost even case.
