THE COMET.

To the Editors of the Daily Exchange:
GENTLEMEN: 1t may interest some of your read
ers to have some account of the great comet which
is now visible in the heavens.
The first records we have of it, are that there
appeared in 1864 comet of great size and brillian
cy. Unfortunately the descriptions handed down
to US are extremely vague and contradictory. 1t
appears, however that the comet brightest in the
beginning of September. When its head was just
visible in the morning sky, the tail stretched out
past the midheaven, nearly 1000 in
length.
Another comet made its appearance in 1856. We
have received much more accurate descriptions of
it than of the former one. 1t is described by Paul
Fabricius, physician Charles the v, ''great
and brilliant STAR 1t is said to have been half
large as the moon, and its tail to have resembled
"the flame of torch agitated by the wind.''
Modern astronomers have long supposed that these
two comets are but two appearances of the same
body. 1t is supposed that it has period of 292
years; and it is conjectured that the comets
of lO4 and 6S3 were also appearances of the same
body.
If this hypothesis be true, we ought to have seen
the cometin lS4S. Such, however, was not the case
1t is a well-known fact, however, that the planets
have an effect on the orbits of comets. Mr.. Hind
the great English astronomer, has lately gone
through the labor of computing the effect
of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune on the or
bit of the comet of Charles V. He found that they
would retard its appearance for ten years. and cal
culated that the comet would attain its perihelion
on Aug. 2, 1858.
On the I'd of June, at 10 p. NJ, Dr. Donat, of Flor
ence discovered comet in the constellation of Leo
Thisi now visible to the naked eye and is supposed
to be the long expected comet of Charles V. 1t
about 100000, 900 of miles distant from us. 1t will
approach the earth to within six millions of miles.
1t will attain its periheon the first week in Octo
Der, and in all probability will be a magnifi cent
sight
If any of your readers will rise at o'clock in the
morning, they may obtain a sight of the heavenly
visitor. To find it, let them carry an imaginary
line from Polars through the Pointers, and they
will discover the comet a short distance above the
horizon. 1t appears like star between the second
and third magnitude, and with an ordinary opera
glass magnfyng three times, its tail may be per-
ceived. 1t is rapidly approaching the earth.
At the hour the comet is visible a a. NJ. the
heavens present magnificent aspect. All the win
ter consultations are to be seen. Orion, Taurus,
Gemini, Sirius and Procyon, are revealed in all
their splendor. Jupiter and Saturn are also visible.
The satellites of the former may be seen with pow
er of fifteen, or a less power than ordinary ship
telescope. Saturns ring may be seen with power
of forty-tive.
am certain that any of your readers who will for
once rise at this early hour will be highly gratified,
and will be tempted to be early risers second or
third time. Your obedient servant,
