prsed to see that proposition had been made 10
discontinue the service Of Teacher Of Permanship
As appears very plainly that the gentleman is
in earnest and means TO carry bis move, | beg
leave to question the tility Of such proceeding
aud to offer my most humble, but earnest protest
against that which seems to me, Ito say the least
ofit) a most ridiculous scheme. OII E
II is plain to all that person, whether old or
young, male or female, has not an equal chance in
this age with one that is able to write to get sit
uation as clerk or wherever responsibility is re-
quircd, If he or she is not able to write good
hand for the very great fact that neither OF them
would be considered competent
Writing is as much and perhaps more called into
requisition than is arithmetic, as is evidenced by
the greatnumber ofcopyists which are keptin con
stant employ
To withhold the art of writing from our youth,
would be to commit a most grievOus wrong upon
society 10 general and them In particular
l have no knowledge Of the mover of the pro
position in question, and have no wish TO know

and myself do know that justice and common
sense demand that our children and all children

THE HEAVENLY BoDIEs.-Mr. /. N. PILLsBURP
of this City, who is well known as an astronomer
and statistican, has furnished us with the follow
ing article as the first of a short series upon the
heavenly bodies. There are very many who have
never had the privilege and advantage Of the study
of astronomy, geography, &C., who gather their
knowledge of the busy world and its surroundings
entirely from their newspaper, and for such these
articles are designed
THE SUN AS SEEM THROUGH TELESCOPE.
AS observations upon the heavenly bodies are
now being made in this city through Mr.. Cross
great Telescope, q few remarks upon the Sun,
Moon and Planets at this time may be interesting
to the enquiring and curious
The Sun is ss7 ,6sl miles in diameter and con-
tans a volume Of matter equal TO 995 1924 l-lO
times the volume of the Earth; though its mass Of
matter is found TO le only 4O5 ,s7l times that of
the Earth, aud therefore It's dentsiy only 29O0 Of
that Of the Earth, that the Sun is like sponge
In comparison TO the Earth; bnt in consequence Of
lbs excessive quantity Of matter over that Of the
Earth, It's power Of attraction is such that one
pound, weighed on the Earth by our steelyards, II
weighed on the surface Of the Sun, by the same
'sNr~'JN'N'i "NN'N "Sikh SUI pouuuh' W ueu tue
Sun isYiewed with q telescope, dark spots Of au
Irregular form often seen on its disc, and fre-
quent observations show them TO have a motion
from east to west, passing over the Sons disc in
period Of about IA days, caused by the rotation OF
the Sun on lis axis which Is performed In period
Of about 25 days aud 10 minutes What these
spots are Is question'not yet satisfactorily solved
by the scientific world.
Sir William Hersohe considered "the luminous
strata Of the atmosphere to be sustained far
above the level Of the solid body by transparent
elastic medium, carrying ON lis upper surface a
cloudy stratum which, being strongly illuminated
from above reflects a considerable portion Of the
light TO our eyes, and forms penumbra, while the
solid body, shaded by the clouds reflects none. -
To observers through telescope, some idea Of
the magnitude Of the Suns spots may be had
when they consider that the greatest diameter Of
the Sun presents an angle Of only about % min
utes and 40 seconds Of arc TO an observer on the
Earth, and that a si'gle second Of angular meas
ure, corresponding to luear measure Of 465 miles
or an area Of 1882 square miles, Is the least
space that can be distinctly discerned on the SUI
/ as a visible area and yetthere have been spots OBJ

an area OF sO5 .o95 900 square miles. The Sun ID

nomination. Mr.. Dudley is one of the

the South have gone back to Intervention,
is that conclusive against us who sGli
maintain the ground they have abandonl
cd? Once the North was for intervention,
and the South, without dissenting voice
was against it. The North came over to
the position of the South Shall the South
now go back to Intervention, as the demo
cratic leaders Of the South demand?
We tell the Democracy that the Opposi.
ton of the South expect to affiliate with
the conservative Opposition men of tho
North to carry the next Presidential elec.
ton. We tell them, too, that unless they
pursue the same policy they need not hone
to succeed. They will, beyond ali doubt
struggle for northern votes, and when 4
man comes to the polls to vote their ticket
they will never ask him whether or not he
is an Abolitionist. They will not care
wha, he is, SO he votes with them. We
trust now that the position of the southern
Opposition is understood, as far at least as
understand it, If We are wrong, let some
one correct us.-Memphis BnHetin.

THE WHEAT CRoP.-The New York
Herald publishes an interesting budget of
good news from all parts of the Union,
touching the signs Of the approaching
wheat harvest. The Herald says the crop
has so far advanced, and the rains through
out the country have little reason to fear
that either general drought or insects can
henceforth destroy the present general
prospect Of a harvest greatly exceeding
that oflast year. Upon this good and glo-
rious promise we congratulate the Ameri-
can people, producers and consumers, and
the world at large. An abundant wheat
harvest will enable our producers, especial
ly of the great West, TO clear themselves
Of the pressure of the financial embarrass,
ments of the late revulsion; and to our
consumers an abundance of bread is new

EDGEFIELD AND KENTUCKY RAILROAD
The annual report of the Directors of
this road to the Stockholders, has been
laid on our table. The report states that
the entire road from this city to the Ken
tucky State line will be ready for use by
the first day of next September. The
distance will be 46s miles, and will give a
connection with the Memphis, Clarksville
and Louisville road that will make the
distance from here to Memphis 48 miles
shorter than by way of Columbia and
Decatur. This road is also part of the
projected line of the road from this city
to Henderson, KY, on the Ohio river,
which is 40 miles below Evansville, Indi,
ana, where it will connect with network
of roads in that and adjoining States. In
relation to the prospects of the Kentucky
part of this road, the report states that 62
Of the SO miles will be completely graded
during the present year.-Nash Patriot

Enthusiastic Reception of Meth
erland.


Col Netherland, reached this city on
Saturday morning and took rooms at the
City Hotel. He was called on during the
day by large number of personal and po-
litical friends At night large conoourse
of citizens assembled at the Court House,
and demanded to see him. On being CALI
ed for he arose and was received with q
warm hearty, enthusiastic and cheering
welcome. He madea short speech in which
without entering at large into the questions
which will be his topic during the summers
campaign, he showed perfect familiarity
with the political issues of the times and
displayeda masterly power Of treating them
before the people.
His audience received his remarks with
demonstrations of the liveliest satisfaction,
and his party friends went away fully as
sured that the banner Of the party has been
placed in hands that will bear it with an
ardor of devotion, patriotism, ability and
galantry through all the struggles Of tho
canvass which will inspire hope and cour--
age and confidence, wherever it valves.
Whether that flag is to float on the breeze
of triumph, or trail in the dust of defeat on
the first Thursday in August, we feel and
knoto that Netherand will do has whole duty
nobly and increasingly. He is now in
Nashville to arrange with Gov. Harris the
programme Of the canvass and is eager for
its opening. Gov. H. is absent on visit
to his family in the Western District, and
as soon as he returns, which we trust will
be very soon, we may expect to have list
of appointments Patriot,
