However, it had all the grandeur of appearance that a re. al semi-circle of these supposed dimen. slons would have presented to those wbo stood on the lofty piazza of the moun- tam house and watched this sign in the heavens with breathless admiration- The colors defed the imitation of hu. man art; they absolutely burned in their glory, and threw by their reflection. 2 second bow parallel to the original one. perfect and aHbrokef, with far iiyelier eolors than the real rainbows usually present.
 The gazers could only say-language Is too poor 10 describe this thing. And It was only to show the feebleness of com parison when one suggested it's resen- biance to bold arch of the cloud bridoe over which angels might walk; and an- other remarked that 1t was like q line of Shakespeare. 1t was in fact not to be compared with any thing but itself in the grandeur of it's moral meaning.

 tEr short time since, Buck expressed much wonder that CYi9eaden county should give majority her votes to Seuier. It is no less source of astonishment to us, that SEWER county should give major fly of g, out of l04, of her votes to Col. DEsHA. As it would be much more ap- propriate, we would respectfully suggest the propriety of changing the name, at the ensning session of the Legislature, by sub stituting DEsHA for Sepier.

 SfR--in the .4rkGHsas GaSeHe, of this week, with no little surprise, l saw an ar ticle purporting to be copied from the Florence Gazette, Ca Clay paper''l of the 18th ult. in which 1t is said l was tlse Clay candidate in the late contest for Delegate to Congress from this Territory. Such a statement has not tue least foundation in truth; as those yno know me best will req dily admit. The error has probably aris- en from the scuriIlties of the GazeHe pend- ing the late canvass. Be that as it may, it's insertion in that paper, without com ment or explanation, as regards myself, was both iasiduous and supe ererog atery, and as respects the Territory, an act of fragrant injustice: inasmnch as 1t exhibits large proportion of the people in false .igit ;o t.io nation, iii a political point Of view.

 While on the Mississippi river, few days since, we were informed by passen- gers on board the steamboat Huron, di- rect from New Orleans, that on the l7th and 18th ut. that city was visited by one of the most violent and destructive storms, within the recollection of the oldest in- habitants-perhaps equalled by none with in the knowledge of the present genera tion. We are not in possession of partic- ulars. farther than that the damage done the shipping and city, is estimated at Jour aaiilions of doilars! When the Huron lett the city was remarkably healthy.
 We refer our readers to the following ar ticle from Baltimore paper, on the subJec ofthe many astronomical phenomena whici occurred from the 4th to the l2thult as al fording cause of the solar phenomenon which was witnessed here at that time.- 1t is much more philosophical to suppose that so uncommon a concentration, as were, of the planetary system, in so shor a space of time, should have produced correspondent change in the atmosphere which induced the solar appearance at sh

The arrival of the Landers in Eng land has caused much speculation in the newspapers of that country. The merit of their discovery of the course ol the Niger, ,seemsto be disputed. Among many articles on the subject, we find the following:-
 There is now in the possession of Mir. Brewer, at the St. James street Library, an old map, printed at Amster- dam, in which the Niger is distinctly laid down, throughoutits whole course to Bialra, where, agreeabiy to the re- cent discovery, it falls into the sea- Brightoa Gazette.
 1he .Nzger.-There are more than two or three claims to the discovery just made of the termination ofthe river Niger in the Eight of Biafra. Among the claimants are Mir. Macqueen, the editor of the Glasgow Courier, and the writer of some articles in the peri odicals in defence of West India slave ": and the editor of book published some years since, we believe, called .Aotes on .4ff7cd.
 Roinbozu at the .Mountaia Ho,tse.-On Thursday afternoon, July 2lst, the Cats kill mountains were enveloped in drip ping cloud. Cool and refreshing gusts of wind swept past the mountain house, as if in contrast to the heat and dust ol the world below; and soon the mass ol clouds was driven to the eastward, and the sun came out in unclouded beauty. In moment after, one of the brightest rainbows we ever saw was described on the billowy clouds which the strong winds were sweeping before them. Il
