A NEW ASTRONOMICAL INSTRUMENTAL corrc-
spondcnt of the Newark Daily advertiser, writing
from Cincinnati, mentions the recent meeting in
that city of the Association for the Advancement
Of Science" and says:
"Onc of the most notable events that occurred
during their meeting the triumph of Pro-
lessor Mitchell, of our Observatory. lie has
distancod all former modes of Observing the right
ascension and dccnaton Of the stars by a new
method OF magnetic rotation. lie presented
this method at the annual meeting of the AS

seemed incredible that gle man, without funds,
and with comparatively rudo machine, should
thus rival and surpass the profoundest astronomers
OF the world, aided by the finest instruments art
could construct, and all the appliances which the
wealth Of kingdom could furnish. SO tho coolest
heads were shaken incredulously. The pro-
fessor then demanded the appointment of com
mittec to examine the and report their
next meeting This accordingly done, and mt
the head Of 1t was placed the man who. was most
incrcdulous, Professor Pierce, of Harvard, one of
the lending mathematicans of the age. The com
mittcc, after thorough examination of the whole
subject, made noble and unanimous report, in

Mitchell is all that he has ever claimed, md pay

From the Richmond Republican.

Some of the southern opposition journals are re-
publishing letter of Mr. FILLMORE, written in
1898, if that could afford better index of his con-
duct than his recent action and declarations That
letter, when published before the election and
without the powerful testimony of the acts of the
President, failed to convince the people of the
South that MIR. Fillmore was unworthy to be trust
ed with power This exploded bomb shell will
hardly have any effect now, when the Administra-
ton Of Mr. Fillmore is before the country and has
not only impaired confidence to the men of both
sections and parties, but extorted strong ex-
pressions of admiration from the most distinguished
leaders Of the Democracy for his manly and ma
tional course. Could southern President have
done more than Mr.. Fillmore has done2 Did
James X. Polk do more? Why do not these De-
mocratic prints quote from Mr.. Fillmore's annual
message, his declaration that he considers the Com
promise "tiual settlement" and his exhortations
to his countzysn stand by and support it? Even
had Mr.. Fillmore ever occupied such Objectionable
ground they represent, his acts have proved him
truepatriot and just and firm American Presi-
dent. 1t is not every Democratic politician who can
explain the past by such testimony as that which Mr.
Fillmore has given, in his faithful adherence to the
Constitution, and in supporting it at the point of
self-sacrifce. Why do not the Democracy object
to Mr.. Buchanan on the score of his ancient Free
soilism upon the Missouri question, or his old Fed
eralism' Why do they regard George w. Thomp
as now fit to represent Virginia in Congress
after that celebrated grafton If they give to these
gentlemen the benefit of the lights of time and ex-
perience, should they not also extend their charity
to the President, who never in his life occupied
such an anti American position as Mr.. Buchanan,
held such anti-slavery radcalism as Mr..
Thompson, and who has proved by his Admins
traton that he is true at to the South and to
the whole country.
