Speculation is rife as to the recent appear
ancc of this extraordinary phenomenon. Its
brilliancy, in the celestial as we'll as tcrrcs
trial world, is remarked at all points. Even
the telegraph wires vibratcd from its effects
and messages passed to and fro under its in.
Huence--the like of which was not before
known. Far South, an unusual thing, "no
steamboat burning on the lake, no blazing
prairies, no possible terrestrial blazcs, could
have produced any such Opaque, widespread,
claret-colored light, with it's glowing rays of
white and yellow" At New Orleans it was
as thus described. a more Southern point
has not as yet been heard from.

School Report.

We have been politely furnished with a
Report of the Board Of Commissioners of
FREQ Schools to the citizens of Charleston, da-
ted July 4, 1850" 1t contains an engraving
of the Normal and High School buildings,
with the dimensions of the rooms and attcn-
dant Information. The number of children
attending the public schools on that day was
2,l70, the cost of each one (tuition, books,
&c.) being only SLIGO.
The report is from the pen of c. G.. MEM
MINGER' Esq, and bears the impress of his
genius and varied attainmcnts The success
OF these common schools, in Charleston, has
been complete, and we sincerely hope the Leg
lslaturo may extend the system, modified to
suit the wants and conveniences of the coun-
try, over the enti State. The inauguration
OF this system ~ the polity of the Common
wealth will be bright day in its annals.

Autumn,


The advent of the genial seasons is well
coined with delight by every heart unnumbcd
by the selfshness of our nature, or scared by
the bitterness of adversity or hapless fate.
Winter, with its chilling blasts, scatters the
frosts and ice of its congealing DER this sunny
land, whitening the tender plants and flow
crs, and blighting the green verdurc of the
fields and wood. Spring, with its kin-ship
to youth, rerobes nature in its freshness and
bcauties whilst the twin.sistcr Summer. in.
dulSing lavishly in her grateful showers and
productive powers, presents elimination
touchingly and beautifully versifed by the
poet, CRADDE, in these lines:
ml'o. when tho buds expand the leaves are green,
Then the first opening of the flower is seen
Then come the honcd breath and ROSY smile.
mat with their sweets the willing sense bcgule
Dut as we look and love, and taste. and praise.
ANA thc hrst fruit grows, the charming flower
decays;
Till all is gathered, and the wintry blast
Means DER the place of love and pleasure past.
90 us with heauty,--such the opening grace,
Anu dawn of glory in the youthful face;
Then are the charms unfoldcd to the sight
nhch all is loneliness and all delight:
me huptlal tie succeeds, and genial hour
And, 10! the falling off of bcauty's flower.
90 through all nature is the progress made
Inc bud, the bloom, the fruit then we fade"
Adown the declivity of time, we behold
around us the goldcn-tnted scenery of Au-
tumn, admonitory of the maturor years of
LIE, and pointing to the uncrring fatalness
OF the sickle of the universal reaper. How
apt does BRYANT clothe the general autdnnal
idea IN ITS requiem march. 1t is q sweet,
musical rcmonstrancc on giving place to the
" scar and yellow leaf" lie writes:
ooh, Autumn. why so soon
Depart the hues that make thy forest clad
Thy gentle mind and thy fair sunny moon,
And leave thee wild and sad
All 'twcre lot too blest
For ever i'll thy colourcd shades to stray;
Amid the KISSES of the soft Southwest
10 rove aud dream for aye"
Aside from the poetry of the OCCASION Au-
tumn bears ON its crimson face more substan-
tai aspects. The grain fields have yielded
their harvest, making the heart of the hus-
bandman glad, and tuning merrly the lula
by of the fair matron. The blazing hearth.
stone, with its cherished memories, brings
pleasures unalloyed and buoys up our ma
tufc for the future of life's fitful period and
firm reliance on HIN, trusting in his good
ness and mercies, will insure something more
valuable than transitory pleasures and world
ly-minded happiness
