That Comet.

The st. Louis Republican, Of the 23th inst.
says: We have been unable to get glimpse at
the comet, but several of our citizens have. One
ofour scientific friends has promised us descrip-
not fail to comply with. The Louisville Journal
gives the following description:
The CoMET-We had the pleasure of
seeing, for the last three evenings, the
comet, noticed by some of our Eastern
contemporaries, and mentioned by us on
Saturday. About o'clock, on Saturday
evening, March H. we recognized the
body of the comet close TO the western
horizon, not far from the equator, followed
By an immense luminous train opposite to
the sun, of 90 or 80 degrees in length.
The body Of the comet was very indlstinct
on account of its nearness TO the horizon,
where the haze was thick. Last night, a
cloud on the horizon prevented the body
of the comet from being visible at ALL
This come; was seen in Massachusetts on
the 2Sth Of February, in day time, close
to the suns eastern limb, according to a
Boston paper. If this account be not
somewhat inaccurate, this stranger in our
system has already passed round the sun,
as he is now 10 or Is degrees from that
lumnary, and must already be on his
rapid flight from ouI solar system. That
i, has been approaching the sun since the
2slh of February, is evident from the in
creased length of its train, or tail, as astro-
nomcrs call it. 1t was observed to be
only . or degrees in length, on the 2sth;
and as we have already stated, it is now
30 or 30 degrees. If the accounts of its
proximity TO the sun are not incorrect,
the comet will now appear higher and
higher every successive evening. If,
howeve;, it is still approaching the sun
or its perihelion, it will soon set before the
sun, and re-appear in the morning in the
eastern horizon with train of increased
length and brilliancy. A few observations
will determine the question. If our ac-
counts be correct, the comet is moving
from West 10 East, like the bodies of our
solar system. If, on the contrary, it is
approaching the sun, it is moving from
East to West, as is often the case with
these erratic bodies.

NORTHERN Observation-Disclosures praise
we regard Us nc praise a, ALL And although q
democratic paper has praised all tho northern de-
mocratc members alike, making no distinction.
we do not think propriey or facts will warrant
this course. One Of our own members, land we
will not call names as others have done in the
same case) il we are correctly informed voted for
the stay law, and against the canal law. These
laws being deemed Of primary importance, for
good or for evil it is clear that the opposer and
supporter of these measures cannot stand alike in
