ATMOSPHERICAL PHENOMENON.

MoNIhkAL, 'ocPN' lSNi
A Meteor OF a most brilliant nature was observed
to fall from the Heavens by many of the inhabitants
Of ST. Johns about the hour of halpast six Thurs
day evening To the eye of the spectator it presents
the appearance of an exploded rocket at very great
elevation, and its briancy was of the dazzling
Wilderness, resembling globes Of molten silver bleach
ed as it were to Drummondlight intensity. What
renders this phenomenon the more remarkable is the
circumstances ofits being still broad daylight at the
time this Grollte exploded and there not being any
cloud visible it, No noise accompanied, nor did
any wind blow either before or after its explosion,
precludng therefore all idea of accounting for this
striking meteor by supposing 10 originate in amos.

On Monday the 3lst ult, four men, viz Capt
Hodge, James Bafour, Anthony Fink, and---Brock,
left here in the Hornet sail-boat of about tons, for
Marblehead. After getting out Of the mouth oil the
bay the wind drove them of 10 the northea when
Brock, said to be British dcser,er became uneasy
from fear that they would be driven to Canada, and
stripped OIL his clothes and started to swim for the Pc

Balfour held on during that night and the next day
but towards morning on the next night, he became
completely exhausted, informed his companion tina,
he could hold on no longer, let go his hold and was
himself to the boat, and remained in this condition
until Friday near night when he was discovered and
rescued, by small schooner, about five miles from
the mounth Of Black River. During this whole time

marks of his frghtful suficrings. He is still here ant

"THE STAR THAT NEVER SETS"

Thus is the Mountain State characterized,
from one end of the country to the other; and
if any thing could add to the just pride with
which we have contemplated her position, polti-
caly, for the last twelve years, it is the unver-
sal note Of graduation with which the result Of
the late election has been received, throughout
the Union. The other day, while Gen. Harrison
was addressing seventy five thousand people at
Dayton, Ohio, says the Louisville Journal, "thc
mail arrived with letter for leading wing in
the crowd, giving the particulars of the glorious
victory in Vermont. Old Tip paused in the
midst of his cloquence, and the letter was read
in loud tone from one of the speakers stands.
Mighty beyond description was the shout that
followed, when seventy-fve or eighty thousand
voices mingled in one long startling thunder peal
for "the Star that never SETS" The palm is
conceded to us, and we are thus The Wing State
| But there is another consideration witch ought
to stimulate us to renewed cxertion, even under
these circumstances. 1t is not perhaps generally
understood that the Wing Central Committee
of the Union, are preparing a superb national
Flagg, which is to be presented in behalf Of the
Wings Of the Union, to the State which gives
the largest wing majority in the coming election
taking into consideration hernumercal strength
Vermont occupies this position now, and car

The distinction will be an envable one. 1t i.
one to which we are entitled, and which woult
be most cheerfully conceded to us by the whole
country. Where might such banner be plant
ed with more propriety than upon the greer
hills of Vermont Let us then buckle on tn,
armor--put forth our whole energies, and TAXI

ANOTHER STATE REDEEMED.

The news received this morning from Maine
leaves no doubt Of the Election of Kent by a
large and triumphant majority over Fairfield
of the election Of four if not five members Of
Congress, and Of decided Wing majority in the
Senate of the State. TO the loud rebuke that
Indiana, North Carolina, and Virginia. have ad-
mnstered to the petty dcspot at Washington,

and landward with the panders and parasites Of
the great central despo,sm which controls the
nation--MAINE too, has has turned upon her op-
pressors, and now stands proudly by the side OF
Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut, dis
enthralled and emancipated, may it be forever,
from the base thraldom OF Toryism. The un-
conquerabe spirit Of freedom is once more
aroused in the bosom Of her freemen-they re-
member that they are sons Of the same soil will,
Wadsworth and Boyd and Tucker--and as those
gallant spirits struck home, whenever their coun-
trys rights or liberties were at stake, so will the
present occupants of the soil which they rem.
dered memorable by their birth strike home to
redeem their country and the constitution, from
more dangerous invaders than ever Wadswortll
contended with, or than ever Prcblc conquered.
The stern tones in which Maine rebukes Mr.
Van Buren, for his unwarrantable usurpations,
and for his prohgate and reckless course, may
well strike dread into his craven heart. AS the
first blast sweeps from the North and roars ur

Saratoga Springs, August %, la40
CATARACT OF TAauESDAAA in South America, com
pared riM the WALLED BANKS THE ArsABLR
RIVER three miles from Port ksnt on Lax:
Chompldin.
These two objects, the most singular and wonder
fu display Of Almighty power in this world, just begins
to be known TO the North American public, although
the former has for been considered and visited by
the South Americans the greatest natural curiosity
in that country Having noticed in late Troy paper
a short but interesting description Of the Walled Banks
Of the Au Sable, inviting father disclosure and more
minute description and having lately made excnr-
sion to that place with the celebrated Col. Duanc's
description and Map Of Taquendama in hand l was
astonshed to find close resemblance in their gen.
eral features but finding myself inadequate to afford
just description ofclther. will avail myself of the
classic pen Of the Col 8 in his visit to the Cataract
with Col. Todd who made up party Of pleasure,
mostly Of Americans, at the city of Bogota in Co
umbin, for the Excursion says-"No painter can
convey any adequate idea of this extraordinary work
Of nature-nonc of the descriptions had read of this
what it is. ! placed myself on my breast to contem-
plate this wonderful display of Almighty power with
my head only the side, while Lieut. Bache stood
on the verge with folded arms, surveying the abyss
be ow with perfect cOmposure. The mind is bcgued
in the intensity of admiration and awful subimity of
the spectacle, which in every aspect presents new
beauties and establishments.
Imagine Lane, i'll may so call il, Three fourths
about so feet apnr, and l9 feet high, as Uniformly fair
on their faces the best masonry at the Capitol !;
which will always induce the nstonished spectator to
ask If these walls be not the work Of art constructed
with the chssel:he trowc!-the level and plumb
line! The elevation of the side was--their parallel
length of three fourths Of mile could be but imper-
fectly expressed by the pencil on canvass The read
mu't therefore from the data figure to himself some
conception of this extraordinary work Of the Great
Architect Of the Uni, verse;"
In reference to the Walled Banks of the Au Sable,
it is impossible that correct view can bs given
than by Col. Duanes description of the Cataract of
Taqiendama length-the relative distance of the
walls-the Workmanship compare with such won
derful precision with the exception that the Cataract
receives the entire river at its summit-whcreas the
Au Sable enters the Walled Banks at its base.
Nopsrson contemplate either of these wonders,
but with solomnty and awe, in profound belief that
both the works Of the divine architect Of the Uni
verse, and works which will in process Of time be Vi
slted by millions upon millions through all ages the
| end of time, with sublime admiration. All who have
visited both the falls of Niagara and the Walled Banks
do not hesitate to say the latter by far the mosn,e
resting natural curosty-the falls having orig-
mated from natural causes-from combination of vast
inland oceans seeking the Atlantic.
