Is THE MOON INHaRITE37

tiDn ="
Is THE MOON INHABITED!
II has long been known that the moon
rcvolves on its axis in tile same time in
which it rcyolvcs round the earth, and
that it consequently always presents nearly
the same side towards the earth, while tho
other side is never seen from our globe.
NJ bodies Of water nor clouds can be seen
Oh tho moon by the aid Of the most power
full telescope, nor is the apparent direction
Of stars close to its edge changed by refrac-
ton, as would be the casc if an atmosphere
cnvelopcd the moon. Hence it has been
inferred by WhcwclI, the rcputcd author of
a late work entitled "Of plurality of
Worlds" that The moon has 10 atmosphere
or water, and, consequently, no inllabi.
tants.
This Inference is shown To be inconclusivc
by recent discovery Of the astronomer
lIansel, whose study Of tho moons motion,
continued for many yea,s, has established
the fact that the centre of gravity of the
moon, instead Of being like that of earth, at
the centre Of figure, is beyond that centre,
and farther from the si.lc next to the earth
than it is from the other side by seventy
four miles. The nearer side Of the moon,
therefore, is vast, expanded protubcrancc
or mountain, sevcnty-four miles high; and
any fluid, whether air or wafer would flow
downwards from the nearer to the farther
side Of the moon, where, for aught we know,
intelligent living beings may exist. Tho
nearer side Of the moon cannot be inhabi-
ted, at least by beings to whose existence air
and water arc essential, rs is the case with all
terrestrial animals.
The late celebrated mathematician, Gauss,
proposed as means Of settling tho qucs-
ton, whether the moon is inhabited, that a
huge monument should bc erected on the
steppcs Of Siberia, as signal to the inhab-
itants Of the moon, in tile hopo that they
might be induced to erect similar signal
to apprise us of their existence. Tho dis
covcry Of JIansol shows that such an OK
pertinent could be attended with no success,
inasmuch as the inhabitants of the moon, if
there arc any, being on the farther side,
could never sec monument on the
earth.
Itmay not be unintcrcstipg to add that
it has been discovered, within few years,
by means Of long continued, hourly obser-
vations with the barometer, that tho moon
cxcrts an apprcciablc influence on tho press
urc Of tho atmosphere; and also by means
Of long-continued magnetic observations,
that.it cxcrts an influence on tho dcclina-

On the 20ta OF May last, Miss SARAH E.
s~JkRRArr, daughter Of Rev. N. r. JAzEsTr,
OF the Methods. Episcopal Church, left North
Mt. Pleasant, Marshall county, Mississippi,
without the knowledge Of her friends, and came
to this city. From this place, on TIE 2srd Of
that month, she wrote to her fathers family,
residing near Holly Springs, Miss, that she
Intended to become a nun, by joining the order
of 9 The Sacred Heart" This she gave as the
reason for leaving her friends in the manner
she did. On the 18th May, Miss J~ARRArr, we
learn, visited 81. Agnes Academy" Roman
Catholic Female Seminary in this city. The
ladies in charge Of that institution state that
While there she signifed her desire to become a
nun, and they informed her that in order to do
80 she must become a Roman Catholic, and
have the accommodation Of Rev. T.. L. GRACE,
of this city, before she would be allowed to
take the vows of her novitIate. Upon reeeiy-
ing this information, the " Sisters" at st. Ag-
mes state that she left the Academy. Since
then she has not been heard from, directly OF
indirectly. Her friends have searched for her
diligently in several States, where it was at all
probable she would 60 to carry out her inten-
ton Of taking the veil, but up to this time not
a trace Of her has been found.
Miss JARRArT had long been in i'll health,
resulting from dyspepsia aud confinement to
her duties as q teacher, and her friends have
reason 20 believe that these causes have rem
dsred her partially insane. She is about TWEEN
ty-thres years Of age, Of medium height, very
erect carriage, very fair, with light auburn
hair disposed to curl, and blue eyes. She
had on when she left Mt. Pleasant, a slate

gratefully received by her mourning friends.

Should this notice fall under Miss ~JAKEATT's
eye, we are instructed by her friends to assure
her that they long very much for her return,
and that in the event of her adhering, after a
fair experiment, to her resolution to join the
Catholic Church and take the veil, they will
offer no impeachment to the accomplishment of
her wishes. They imPlore her to at least in

Gen. AFssSs hen proceeded to e~ritieise the
course Of his Composition in introducing into the
House CT Representatives bis resolution de-
n~ouncing the African slave trade as infamous.
There was no proposition to revive the slave
trade. The Governor OF a single State in the
| South had recommended its revival, and his
proposition had not been coontsnaneed by the
Legislature of his own State. Gen. ZoLLIcoF-
FEB had said that it was unnecessary. But
backed, as be was, BY the Abolitonists, he hat
pressed it forward under the gag Of the previous
question. Fifty-seven Southern meh votsC
against it, and all but eight Of these voted f7l
ORR's resolution declaring that the revival oi
the slave trade is unwise and inexpedisnt
thereby demonstrating thatthere was no neces'
sity for the agitation which but results in addi-
tional incentive to the Abolitionists.
Mr.. Atkins concluded by asserting that th'
position which his opponent occupied was iden-
teal with that Of the Black Republican party.
He bad nothing to do with his motives and did
not impugn them-5ut such was the truth.
He concluded with an eloquent perOratiOn,
invoking every man Of the Democratic party
to DO his duty in tie contest.
