THE HARVEST MooN.-There are few
persons probably, who have not perceived
annually, in the month of September, that
the moon rises on six or eight successive
nights, apparently about the same time.
This annual peculiarly in the moons ris.
ing was observed by The aDcIents long be-
fore astronomers were able TO explain the
cause oft. On account oftbe convenient
ligh, it afforded them in harvest time, i
was called the Harvest Moon, and that
IN October-for similar popularity is
Their observabe--the Hunters Noon
The cause of this peculiarly in the rising
of the moon in September and October, Is
now perfectly well understood, and is ex-
planned with globe. The differences IN
the time Of the MONS rising, are always
great when she passes through the sign
Libra, and small when she is in Ares
but we do not notice their variations ex-
cept in the autumn, as the moon must be
full lust in that point IN her orbit, and
place in the heavens, to produce this ef-
feet, and that can happen only when she
is iu Aries--when the difference in the
times OF her rising is least--and the sun
in or near Libra; that is, at or near the
time Of the autumnal equinox.
These interesting phenomena are now,
observable. The moon tonight, it will
be perceived, will rise full in the south,
east. Owing TO the great obliquity of the
moons orbit TO the equator, and her rapid
movement from south to north, she VIII
rise farther and farther to the left every
night for week or more, when late 'n
the evening she will be seen coming up
in gibbous state in the North East

The Wings Of Campbell county, held a
Meeting and adopted an eloquent Pream-
BILE, and, Resolutions, nominating Mr..
Clay, approving State Convention the
22d Of February next, and urging the
Wings throughout The State, TO buckle on
their armour, The proceedings will be
published at an early day.
It is time the Wings were beginning TO
move every where. We have great
con,es, ahead which is worthy Of the
best exertions Of every patriot. We do
not entertain doubt Of the result, if the
Wings do their duty. We have every
advantage, if we will improve it. We
are united our adversaries are dfyid-
ed. We have one man, who surpasses
all his contemporaries in every quality TO
command the admiration and love of his
couutrymen. Our opponents have half
dozen asprants Of medium pretensions |;
neither Of whom will readily surrender TO
another. Our cause is the best; our
principles and our measures are most con-
ducve 10 the National prosperity and the
preservation Of the public iberty--as is
amply demonstrated by the grievous af
hiclIons which have been visited upon the
land by the principles and measures OF
the Locoiocos-durng thirteen years. -
The Wings ale the majority, as was pro-
ven by the Election in IS40--and they
can easily elect their candidate, if they
come to the Polls.

North Carolina, now lying off the Battery,

retired from active life, after serving his
country faithfully, honestly, and nobly
for forty five years. Wolfenden is now
seventy seven years old, and has been,
persuaded by officers IN the service To
retire and pend his days in the Naval A.

me to lave active serrics till after the

Lord .ishbortoB had concluded the treaty

DRY for his discharge, and admission into
the Asylum, saying, "that now the boun-
dairy question was settled | thought
might as well so, and besides you know,
Captain, if any thing turns up, fcan come
back again." Capt. Gregory according
ly made the requisite representations to
the Navy Department, stating old VOL
fenden's long service and exemplary char.
