PRESIDENT PlERcH.--tt is not Gus
tcmary for tho press Of either side, to
say anything, in way Of praise for ono
going out of place, and power to be-
stow favors. For this reason and none
other, il is our prerogativo to notice
the retiring President Of tho republic.
It no has done many things, he ought
not to have done, and left undono
many things, he ought to.bavo dono /,
still his past life and public services,
will compare well with many If not
all his predecessors and let us have
the charity to suppose he has done the
best he could. Nothing moro Ought
in reason to be expected. Tho pros
ent is no time 10 review his acts; pos
tority can alone pass Judgment upon
them. Now the public voice ia onga-
god in singing praises, 10 him who is
expected to tako the vacant seat. and
reward, The singers The song varies,
as the prospect Of one or the other
brightens. In justice TO our chief
magistrate, lot US ask the gaping grog
shop Of politicians, where is the man
who has filled the Office of chief oxoou-
tive Of tho National Government who
has not been abused aud vililied, on
going out Of place Not one. This
abuse proceeds from the grateful heart
Of man. He loves TO praise, where
praise can be turned to profit, and
where It cannot, his abuse follows
The President of the nation has many
offices to bestow--but not BALI enough
to satisfy the demand. Those who
get them; quarrel among themselves,
because they cannot all occupy tho
best place, and the result of this, is
abuse. We are inclined to say much
in praise Of President Pierce, but the
following scrap from the Charleston
Courier, will suffice for this occasion.
General Pierce is the first President
Of the United States who has uniform
ly declined to drink wine with his
guests-and he is styled in the Provi-
dence Transcript besotted drunkard.
He is the first President since Wash
ington who has closed his house against
all visitors on the Sahbath-and he is
called brawler, rufian an enemy
Of religion and a murderer

is probable that the effect Of diminish
ing the inclination to the earth's path
will tend to hasten the comets return,
and for this reason it is very desirable
that a rigorous examination Of the
heavens should be instituted at once,
and continued until the limit assigned
by the calculations for its reappearanoe
is passed.
The evidence in favor Of identity Of
the comet Of 1856 with that Of 1864
is rather strengthened than otherwise
by the additional facts brought to light
through Professor Littrow's exertions,
and | will once more repeat the ex-
preston of an opinion frequently ad-
vanee1 on less satisfactory grounds ~
that the next appearance Of the great
comet Of 1860 is near at hand. The
observations Of Joachim Heller are by
far the best Of The kind tina! we possess,
before The time Of Tyeho Brahe, and
evince an acquaintance with the re-
1uirements Of cometary astronomy
greatly superior to that Of his cotem-
poraries, In a short time | hope TO
publish detailed account Of these OBJ
servations, and Of the numerical re-
suits TO which they conduoe. Mean
while, let me suggest to those who are
provided with suitable telescopes, and
are DESTROYS Of assisting in the search
for this long expected comet, that no
time should be lost in commencing
operations. Crater vigilence will be
necessary in The winter months than
during the summer

RED RIVER ITEMs.--sThe Caddo
Gazette, gives us the particulars Of the
loss of tho steamer r. M. Jones, on
Red River the other day. The Ga
zetto says:
"Sho ran on pile of logs and turn
ed over. A German named James
Dappelmayer, Of Marshal, Texas was
drowned. lie had purchased draft
for $500 at this place from Col. b.
NJ. johnson, and it is said that he also
had $4,000 bel,ed around his body
The boat had on board several bales
Of cotton, the number we have not
heard She is supposed to be a total
loss.
The same paper says, there is but
twenty four inches Of water Mt the
mouth Of the Red River, and most Of
the water consequently finds an outlet
by The Atcbafalya. Mr. Dentzel, the
New Orleans Mail Agent has been to
sec the editor Of tho Gazette. Mr. d.
is on the He'd River to find out (if pos
siblo) the cause or causes Of irregular
ity in the mails. This is rather m
antiquarian research, and Mr.. D.,
should have taken some of the mem
bors Of that society with him. For
the last four years, there has been no
ono found, to answer the question
why it takes letter twenty days
on an average, to come from Shreve-
port, Alexandria and other points on
Red River, to this city.
