The Late Comet.

We make the following extract from a
private letter of a scientific friend, whose
a,tainments and responsible position enti-
tie his statements 10 full confidence.
.The news in the comet line is nothing.
Our late visitor was no Vandal for. after
following very faithfully the path prepared
for ii. long before its arrival. 1t has become
civilized, had its queue shortened, and
gone peacefully away.
at is not known to be a comet that has
been seer before. and certainly is not as
has been reported) the comet of 1856.
which, according to some historians.
frightened Charles V. from. his throne.
..In fact, there is so much uncertainty
about the forms and appearances OF these
bodies, that astronomers begin to doubt
the comparisons made by means of them.
The comet Of HALEY. whose orbit has
been the longestknown. has presented such
a variety of appearances at its successive
returns. and so much depends on the posi-
ton of the earth, that these marks ought
not TO be regarded in identifying comets
at was the accidental position OF the
earth, near the path of this last comet,
that gave it pre- eminence over the three
others that have been seen by the teie
scope this year The vast numbers. and
changeable and indefinite forms Of these
bodies, put Identification by any means
except actually tracing their orbits, out o
the question.
The come of 1856. TO which | refer
red, has been expected for several years
in 184a. while Herschel was writing the
last edition of his Astronomy. the return
was considered, he says, as highly proba
BILE by more than one eminent authority
but it has not come. or, if so, has SUM
through the system with his tail between
its legs. A few months ago, however.
German astronomer reviewed the compu
ta,ion, and found a mistake which ha'
prolonged the time Of its coming for sew
eral years. Itmay, therefore, be expected
soon."-N. Y. Erening Posi-.

is the granddaughter Of Edward Rutledge,
one OF the signers Of the Declaration of
independence. His eldest son, Henry
Laurens Ingraham, is now a midshipman
at the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
1t is a curious circumstance, that by in
termarriage with the American family, the
lngraham blood flows in the veins of some
of the most distinguished officers of the
British Navy. Among these was the late
Captain Maryatt, c. B. (the author) and
Sir Edward Belcher, X. C.. B., who late

Electrotyping.

This art, as applied to the disposition
of metals in forming metal plates of type
and figures sor printing, presents a strik-
ing example Of the advancement of sci
ence and art, and their application to new
and useful purposes. The stereotype is
an art which has long been in use; the
publisher of books usually send their COM
posed types to the stereotypers, where a
cast of each page is taken in plaster OF
Paris, this forming a negative mould, into
which type metal is run and moulded into
thin metal plates of positive type, fac sim
lies of the original as set up by the COM
p%ositor; this art saves the re-setting OF type
for reprints, as these plates can be laid
away and kept ready for printing future
editions. This art. it appears, is destln-
ed to be superseded by the e%lectrotype
Ii has been demonstrated that electrotyp'
ing of pages of type and engravings or
wood can be done quicker and in a very
superior manner to stereoiyping. BY the
electrotype process, an impression is hrs
taken in wax. and the mould thus formed
is busted with finely powdered plumbago
II is then set in a vessel containing a solu
ton OF the sulphate of copper. and plac
ed in the circuit of a g~alvanic battery TO
about twelve hours, when on being takei
from the same, it is found that the galvan
ism has deposited a positive type plate Q
pure solid copper ron the solution on tn
wax mould, from which innumerable i'm
pressions may be taken.
! AS applied to the duplicate of WOO

I dence of its power and usefulness in tn

very great recommendation TO it, besid

many Of the arts, and to no one is 1t mo

Ingraham.

The N. Y. Tribune gives the following
biographical sketch Of Commander Ingra-
ham:
"Commander Duncan N. Ingraham is
The son OF the late Nathaniel lngraham,
Esq, Of Charleston, s. c., and belongs to
a family eminently naval in its character.
All OF them, with one exception, were Of.
fcers in the Navy. His father being the.
intimate friend of captain Paul Jones, vol
nnteercd under his command, when he
left France in the Bon Homme Richard.
in 1897, and fought with him in the battle
with the British frigate Scraps, one ofthe
most desperate actions in the annals Of ma
val warfare. His uncle, captain Joseph
Ingraham, U. S. NJ, was lost in the United
States ship Pickering, which went down at
sea, and was never heard of, at the begin
ming Of this century. His cousin, VIM.
Ingraham, was killed at the age of twen-
ty, when a Lieutenant in the U. S. Navy.
The sole exception in the family was
his uncle, Duncan Ingraham, Esq, from
whom he received his name. He was one
Of the most accomplished gentlemen Of his
day, and though intimate with the leading
pOlilCdi III Vi W COahi - .
and early associations, he was a loyalisi
in his views. AT the opening Of h e>Rev-
%olu,ion, in r774, he went TO Europe, and
remained there until its close. John Ad-
ans, when Commissioner 10 France, 1879,
frequently speaks Of him in his Dairy, late.

lie returned, however, 10 this country in
1894, gave in his adherence to the Gov
eminent, and permitted his son to enter
the Navy-the Lieutenant VIM. lngra'
ham, whom we have mentioned as being
killed in the service.
Capt. Ingraham received his Midship
mans warrant. at the age OF nine years
during the war with Great Britain. Com
modore Smith, OF South Carolina, the init
mate friend of his father, being about Il
sail in the frigate Congress. requested MIR
I~ngraham to allow him to take his son will
him. I'VE shall probably have an engage
ment,' said he, and it will do him good.
He accordingly went to sea at once, at tho
tender age, and remained in active ser
vice for two years, until the close OF III
war. He then returned home at the ag'
Of eleven, and resumed his education a

From the State Of Sonora.

The silver mines of Arizona, the same
about which Raoussett de Boulbon had a
difficulty with the Mexican authorities some
time ago, havc turned out to be Of unpar-
alleled richness. News received at Quay
mas report immense deposits of silver ore
had been discovered al Arizona. yielding
a dollars worth Of pure silver TO three
pounds Of ore. The news produced great
excitement among the inhabitants; and
upwards OF a thousand men had left Quay
mas and liermosilla for the mines.
The incursions Of the Indians still con
tinue, and with increased audaciiy.-
They attacked a village within fifteen miles
Of Guaymas and killed one hundred per.
sons-men women and children. In ad.
dition to this. the Mexican authorities were
in great %trcpidation from the expected in
vasion of the fllibusteros; and it was be
lieved that they would be welcomed by
the people for the sake OF protection
against the Indians. If such a design be
really on foot, as there Is great reason &c
believe, its execution will be fastened by
the news of the discoveries at Arizona.
We learn from Mr.. Parker who LEI
Crescent City on Sunday morning, that bu
sincss at that place was at a complete
stand still in consequence OF the Indiar
troubles. At leastfo four hundred men from
Klamath county had gone over into South
ern Oregon to fight the Indians. Genera
Lane with the volunteers was at Jackson
Vile. A party who reached Crescent Cit,
on Friday last from the seat Of war, re
ports that there was every prospect OF tn
difficulties with the Indians being AMIGA
bly, settled. Old Sam the chief Of tn
Rouge River Indians, and several othe
chiefs, had come into Gen. Lanes head
quarters to make a treaty. No NOR
fighting was expected.

The Mormons in Trouble.

The news from Utah is full Of something
more than mere ''rumors of war" The
indians are actually harrassing the Nor
mons at a sad rate. On the Esd Of Au-
gust, as we learn from the Deseret News,
the Mormon bishops of the different wards
Of Salt Lake City, sat in Council with the
municipal authorities, and discussed in
the alarming condition of things, the ques-
ton of putting the city in a state of de-
fence. The result Of the conference was
a determination to wall in the city with d
f%ortification of earth, and a deep ditch out
side. The Mormons seem disposed to re.
ly on their W strength in this extremity
for they have not applied TO the United
States for any military aid. The Indians
we're very bold in their attacks on al
Struggling parties.
On the 10th OF August a party com
manded by Lieut.. R. Burns, who were en-
camped Oh Clover Creek, in Juab Valley
were attacked by a body of Utah Indians
One man, Isaac Duffin. was wounded
and several horses killed or injured. !
was supposed that two Of the Indians hal
been killed and three wounded On tn
9Th. while four men were engaged haul
ing lumber from Snyder's mill near Par
ley's Park, they were assailed by Indians
who fired upon them from an ambush, in
stanlly killing John Dixon and job
Quayle, and wounding John iIoagland.-
Fhe survivors, Hoagland and Knight the

Intelligence from the South Pacific,
Australia, SC.

Interesting details Of the news from the
South Pacific and Australia, contained IN
files brought by the Crescent City, are pub
lished in the New York papers. The most
exciting portion Of the intelligence from
South America is that which relates to the
serious difficulty which occurred between
the captains OF a number Of American YES
sells lying at the Chincha Islands. and the
c%ommandant acting for the Peruvian gov
eminent. The aggression of this official
upon the captain and crew of the Defiance
had excited the deepest indignation "a
mongst the masters Of the other vessels
there, and the9 promptly sought the pro-
lection Of the American Minister al Peru,
which was freely rendered, and with e
cellent effect, FOR SO far it is probable that
the Peruvian officer will be removed from
his post and brought to trial. Dispatches
relative to this affair have been sent 10
Washington Tor the consideration OF the
Cabinet. Tttsfe is not a single man-of

India.

The population Of India is estimated.
by a writer in the E%denburgh Review, al
$50, 600 900, of which about two-thirds
are under the sway Of Great Britain. This
population is very unequally distributed.
Some parts Of the valley of the Gauges
are as densely peopled as China, while
other parts OF India have but a slight pop.
ulation. There are in this country ten
distinct nations, speaking ten different
languages, with q great number OF dialects
In all these languages and dialects for
eign tongues intermingle-such as the
Sanscrit, Arabic and Persian. This for
eign intermixture is greatest in the north
part of Hindoostan, where all the Asiatic
conquerors Of the country have always
entered.
The most important of the native lam
yuaaes is the Hindi, or Hindostanee, with
its numerous dialects. /, is spoken by
about $4,000, 600 extending south or the
western side from the slope Of the Him
alay mountains.
Ii is now the general language of com
munication throughout the whole peninsu-
la, and contains many words of the Per-
sian and Arabic. having been longer in
Huenced by the Mahometan conquest than
any other. The Bengali. or Bengalese
tongue, is spoken by about 80, 600 Of
people on the Gauges and Burhampootr
rivers. South of these native languages
is that Of the Mahrattas, a war-like race,
who had conquered the central parts O
Hindostan before the arrival of the Eng
fish, and have given them much trouble
since.
In the south, there is the rough Language
