The ROMANCE OIL ASTRONOMY Our
friend of the Cincinnati Observatory,
gives in the Atlas of Thursday, the sub
stance of an article in SChHmacker,S AS
trononlicaI Journal, by DR.. Maedlor, OF the
Lorpat Observatory, in which the learned
doctor professes to have discovered the
Central Sun of The Astronomical Uni
verse!
This discovery, in the language OF the
newspapers, is certainly very wonderful,
if true.
This discovery he announces IN the iol-
loving language:
81 therefore pronounce the Pleiades to
be the central group of that mass OF hxed
stars limited by the stratum composing the
milky wav, and Alcyene as the Indlvl
dual star of this group, which, among al
others, combines the greatest probability
of being the true Central Sum-"
This is probably the reason why Jot
thought so highly of the PleiGdes. ltrath
or favors the Water Theory of the &c
oloois,s, inasmuch as the Pleiadcs have
from all antiquity, been supposed TO pre-
side over the rains!
DR.. Meadlor has made the following
calculation:

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM THE Nor
MoNs.--The St. Louis Organ of the 2lst
inst. has news Of the final captulation of
the beseiged city of Nauvoo, and its occu-
patton by the "Anti- Mormons." This
event occurred, after three days skirmish-
ing, on Thursday, the 18th inst, when the
besiegers effected an entrance, and sum-
moned the Mormons to surrender. The
terms of equalization were shat the Nor
mons, and all ia the city engaged in the
late troubles, should leave within five days,
and at once deliver up their persons, arms
ammunition, and the city itself. The
evacuation of the city Immediately COM
menced: though the unhappy refugees had
scarce where TO fly to, the people on the
opposite shore far some time opposing
their landing. The Governor of Iowa,
however, finally furnished an armed escort
for them through Lee county, whence
they purpose TO oyertake and join the
parties of Mormons emigraIing to CaiItor-
MIA and Oregon. A considerable num-
Der of the Mormons from Nauvoo had,
however, preferred different destination
and arrived at ST. Louis.
A committee the Mormons was allow
ed to remain in possession of the "tem-
pie" and other property; but the lnsur-
rents were in deliberation what disposition
should be made of it.

Hon. Joshua r. Giddings.

On Tuesday we were most agreeably sur
prised to learn that this distinguished States
man and philanthropist was in our city
We had been bordering on his position, anC
lamenting that he seemed to have fallen into
hopclessness of his great mission as public
man, and, as will be seen, had put a few tho
on paper on the subject. But the Antisave.
ny spirit is not so easily killed. A light had
burst upon our noble brother, light from re.
deemed New Hampshire no sooner did
the light come, than the feeling spurred on tc
action. On came the devoted patriot to GRASP
the hand of JOHN p. HALE, and to council
with this hero of revolution more wonder
full than any of modern days. From New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, accompanied
by the excellent Whittier, he came to Port
land, and accompanied by Mr. Winslow OF
that city, he extended his journey to this
city.
Mr. Giddings was most cordially received
by our citizens Of all parties. The frankness
Of his manner, and the dignity of his republi-
can simplicity, fully sustained the preconceiv-
ed opinion our people had formed of the man
who for many yeas, and for time, almost a.
lone, has dared to breast the slave power
At the urgent request of all parties, he
addressed the people on Tuesday evening in
front of the Court House and though only a
few hours notice was, or could be given, the
whole area was filled with our citizens, without
distinction of party.
The meeting was called to order by D. T.
Jewctt, Esq, who spoke of Mr. Giddings' pub
lie services in glowing terms. Mayor Bryant
was called to the chair, who introduced Mr.
G. to the audience, by which he was enthu-
siastically received. He proceeded at once
to address the assemblage on the encroach-
ments of the slave power, starting with the
proposition that while the Constitution of the
United States gave no power to the General
Government to interfere with slavery in the
slave States, but left those States to manage
it for themselves, it at the same time
gave that government no power to inplicate
the free States either in the expense or
disgrace of the system. He explained how
these encroachments first obtained-it was
by yielding to impulses of veneration for such
men as George Washington, who with all his
excellencies was yet stakeholder, that men
ceased to speak out against slavery, and by
the same spirit, and added to that, the extern
sive patronage of the Government, through
the appointing power, the opposition to slav-
cry had been kept in check. So fashionable
indeed, had it become a few years ago to
maintain silence upon that question, and so
awed was the Congress, that to attempt to
speak out on the floor of that body was sure
to bring down the Speakers hammer, and the
member offending must take his seat. For
years did he thus suffer, and with everlasting
gratitude would he mention that he owed it
to the frmness of a political opponent from
the State of Maine, who as Chairman in Com
mittee of the whole, on the appropriations for
the Florida War, firmly maintained his right

: Universal Brotherhood Bond
of Brotherhood, &C.

Some are startled at the name, and anx-
iously enquire" what is it? What do you
mean by Universal Brotherhood DO you
mean that we must brother all sorts otolks,
rich or poor, bond or free, white or black :
Nonsense Bond of Brotherhood! What's
that? Do you mean that we are under bonds
to unite in brotherhood that brothers all
mankind ?" Well, these arc grave ques-
tions truly; often asked, and as often answer
ed. 1t is the easiest thing in the world to an
swer such questions; for we always turn to
the " good old Bible-the family Bible that
laws on the stand, and there we read that
g God hath made of one blood all nations that
dwell upon the face of the whole earth."-
Then there is no distinction; all are on a
common level of equality before God-all are
children of one common Fathcr-all are hast
cning to one common goal. Universal Broth
crhood, then, is simply ths,-to recognize in
every human being brother, or sister, and
God as q common Father Of all manklnd.-
Do YOU ask what its advocates intend to ac-
complish? To break down the walls that
make enemies of nations, and the bars that
make distinctions and divisions in sects, and
the minor and secular considerations that
make contentious and strife in communities,
and with individuals Do you ask, upon
what foundation it is based "For no 9th
er foundation can any man lay, than that is
laid, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cor
ner stone" Its gospel is the gospel of the
Millennium. 1t processes to act the part of
the good Samaritan, nor leave an unfortunate
sufferer, robbed and wounded by the way
side, to perish in his gore.
The gospel of the Savior, is gospel of
Peace, and glad tidings of great joy" which
are yet to " be to all people" There is no
wrong on earth, for which this gospel does
not provide an adequate remedy. In its APP
plication, every yoke would be broken, every
syil would be reformed Individual soci al
ly and nationally. Introduce it in its unadul-
terated simplicity, and all its practical bear
ings, 10 every Slave-cursed plantation of the
sunny South, and the slave would burst his
shackles, and inhale the atmosphere of free
dom. Send it forth robed in its originality,
as first it came from Heavens great Model,
to the outskirts of earth, and the scales would
fall from the eyes of blinded millions. The
sword would be thrust, to remain, in its scab-
bard-the tomahawk and scalping knife bur-
ried, and all the implements of destruction
and death, that have so long been in the hands
of both Christian and Barbarian, would be
known no more,-Wars would cease the
wide world DER, violence would no more be
heard in the earth wasting nor destruction

According to the Report mentioned by the
Mercury the Court commenced its session OH
the 14th of July and closed on the 22d ;-29
cases having been acted upon during this
time 10 Of this number being reversals of
County Court decisions. From this, people
may see that, as rule, they may as well set
tie their own business as to hire LAWYERS and
Judges to do it for them. For,as will be seen,
fraction over one third of the cases acted
upon at this term of the Supreme Court,
were reverSals of County Court decisions,
while one ofthe Judges ofthe Supreme Court
ofliciated as one Of the Judges of the lower
Court.
AS the contested points were not given in
the other decisions will copy only the fol-
lowing, which may save trouble to some men:
In the matter of German H. Davis-Ha5e-
as Corpus. On the 18th day of May last ,Da-
Wis was committed to jail on an execution in
favor of Messrs. Norcross & Wood of Boston,
issued on a Judgment rendered by Windsor
County Court, March Term, 1S46,-the plain
tiffs having on the issuing of the original
writ, sworn out capiaS against the defend
ant. The debtor Davis, on being taken in
execution, gave notice to the officer that he
should apply to the clerk of the Court, who
signed the execution for a certificate under
the act Of Nov.5, 1915, VIRTUALLY annulling
the capias) The creditors residing out Of
the State the officer committed the debtor to
jail, and he procured bail for the liberties of
the Jail and gave notice at as early day as
practicable to the plaintiffs to appear before
the clerk, (the authority signing the writ of
exccution) as provided in said act,-and on
the 25th day Of May the parties appeared be-
fore the clerk, who, after examination, certi-
fled on said execution (then returned to his
Offce) that he was not of opinion that the
debtor intended to abscond Of this decis-
ion and certificate Of the clerk, notice was
given to the sheriff. by the debtor, who deman-
led of the sheriff to be discharged from his

Ibis application and the debtor remained on
5he liberties until the 10th day of July inst,
when he was recommitted by his bail, and

up the said Davis with the cause of his COM
nitment, Gas above stately. Mr. Tracy and

no table Of distinction. Our only arstocrac
is that established by good conduct, and on
only penalties are the deprivation Of some re
al or fancied privilege.
1t is asource of pleasing satisfaction to know
that the Asylum has been and still is accom-
plishing the object of its foundation.
From the many who formerly enjoyed it
benefits, we often receive visits, letters, anc
tokens of kindly remembrance, which evinct
the strong hold the institution has upon theil
grateful esteem. Those who leave it fully
cured, almost without exception depart with
kindly feelings towards the officers and atten-
dants; and the starting tear and warm grasp
of the hand, as they bid us adieu, are suffi-
Gent tokens of the estimation in which they
hold the efforts Of those who have ministered
to them in the hours of their mental dark
ness
Those, on the contrary, who leave us not
recovered, or but partially so, too often mis-
represent the nature of the treatment to which
they have been subjected, or interpret the
necessary regulations and discipline of the
Asylum into arbitrary and tyrannical en-
croachments upon their natural rights These
imputations must necessarily be endured, so
long as the present misconception exists as to
the term of time in which patients may re-
cover
The patient who affords any prospect of re-
covery should not be removed from the AS
ylum if full trial is determined upon, till
every delusion has been banished from the
mind. Not only should the power Of reason
ing and judgment be restored, but the mental
should be in their natural con-
-ition. Much is to be feared from patient
who leaves the Asylum with feelings of ami
mostly towards those who have committed |
aim to, or the attendant who has had charge |
If him during his residence in, the Asylum.
Not only is no advantage realized by an in
Efficient trial of curative measures, but the
case is rendered still more unpromising, by
adding to the ordinary alterations of the mind,
ceilings of resentment towards the best guar
lians of his interests. Fair dealing with the
insane, in the important matter Of commit
ng them to the Asylum,is imperativey neces-
AIRY. They should be informed kindly, yet
irmly, of the step to be taken with them and
If its propriety and necessity. The officers
# the Asylum can then assume their cura-
i've management free from the opprobrium
which the patient might otherwise impose up
N them, as the illegal controllers of his per-
onal liberty. This course should always be
pursued even though it may be attended with
difficulties in bringing patients to the nstitu-
ion.
The physician should, of all other men,
ossess the entire confidence of the patient
nd the attempt to decoy an individual into
he ASYLUM and leave him clandestineIy, to
scertain his position as best he can, at once
onveys to the mind made suspicious by de-
Augment, an idea of imprisonment; and
lain to his confidence and affection" L
