ssringfsllsg,s Letter - the South.
B. Stringfellow, in imitation of his IL
lustrioas leader, Atchison, has written let
ter to the people of the South exhorting them
10 render him efficient "aid and comfort" in
his labor Of love in their behalf. The fol-
lowing extract shows the spirit Of the man
and the faction which is sustained and iusti-
fed by Gov. Shannon, and the Locofoco
Press of the North:
"Our friends in Kansas have evidence that
should satisfy the most incredulous. They
have carried every election, have enacted the
wost efficient laws, are prepared and deter
mined 70 enforce them.

II We are forced in self defence, we will
show that we can do far more than Greeley
in his ravings has charged US with doing
But we do not wish, and it 10 not right that
We should be compelled to depopulate our
county in defence Of Southern rights. 9th

they would be 30 much greater gamers than

your battles. We will hold the post while we

but place you and your friends "out of dan
ger" in the future.''
ca migrants from New England settled,
with their wives and children, in Kansas,
erected dwellings, enclosed farms, built up
towns, invested means in various kinds OF
mechanical and manufacturing establish
msnts, opened stores, started newspapers,
built school houses and churches and made
permanent New England-like homes for
themselves.
Yet these men are denounced by the Times,
and all papers and politicians of border ruff
fan proclivities, and placed on lower level
as to rights of citizenship in Kansas than the
armed bands of Missouri borderers, who are
accustomed TO ride across the line to regulate
the elections and other matters in Kansas.

THE EXPECTED GREAT CoMET.-The emf
nent astronomer, Mr.. Babinet, member of the
French Academy Of Science, gives some very
Interesting details relative to the return of
that great Genet, whose periodical course is
computed BY the most celebrated observer at
three hundred years.
Our cyclical records show that it was obser-
we'd IN the year l04, 392, 6s2, 975, again in
I2o4, and the next time in l556, always de-
scrIbed as shining with the most eytraordina-
rv brllliancy. Most of the Eu. opean astrono-
me:s had agreed in announcing the return OF
this comet In 1913; but it has hitherto failed
to appear. In fact, it is not easy or simple
matter to compute those vast cyclical peri
DDS as some superficial persons, who do not
look beyond the day Of the year liz which they
live, may imagine.
We are, however, assured by Mr.. BalDinet,
that, up to this moment, this beautiful star sis
living on its brilliant reputation;' so that Sir
John Herschel himself was wrong when he
deSpalred OF its reappearance, and put Grape
on his telescope! We are now informed that
accelerated and accurate computer-Mr. BON
me, OF fMddleburg--with patience and de-
votedness truly German, has gone over all
previous calculations, and made new esti-
mate of the seperLte and combined actions OF
all the planets upon tins comet of three hum
dred years. and he has discovered that it is
not lost to us, but only retarded in its motion.
The result ofthis severe labor gives the arri-
val of this rare and renowned visiter in August,
1858, with an uncertainty Of two years, mor,
or less; so that between 1856 and 1860 those
who are then living may hope to see the great
luminary which in 1856 caused Charles v TO
abdicatc.

Lraug-ewo1ia go ass ssrcAIs ou GUARu.r

The Cincinnati Times, in speaking of the
above quotation, which has always been attrib-
uted to Gen. Washington, says:
Put none but Americans on guard at night,
that is to say when peculiar danger threatens.
trust none but Americans with the power in
dispenslble to self-preservation. This order
Of General Washington is dated July Z, 1775,
ct Cambridge headquarters, and reads thus =
"For the future, no man shall be appointed
TO these stations (sentinels at the outposts)
who is not a NATIVE Of this country
Thus the order was standing one, not spe-
cial, which makes the case the stronger.
The following extracts from the original Or
der Book, left by the late General Hand, who
was the Adjutant General OF the American
4 rny at the close Of the Revolution, will con-
firm the statement of that paper:
ssCAMBRIDGE HEADQUARTERS, July Z, 1175.-

IMPORTANT EyTERPRIsE.-Both branches of
the California Legislature have passed bill,
which will probably be signed by the Cover
nor. aipropriatiag 800 900 to construct d
wagon road from Sacramento to the eastern
boundary OF the State, by the way Of Johnson s
Cut-Of. We learn from the San Francisco
HerGLi that this is the most rugged and diff
cult portion of the road from Salt Lake 10
Sacram The Herald says that as soon as
the wagon road shall be cons tructed, some OF
the California stage owners and express men
Will start line OF stages to Carson Valley,
and SD on to Salt Lake.
