Another Meteor.

correspondence of the New York Tribune.l
B1SGuAMproN, Aug. 6, 1S6O.--A meteor
was witnessed this evening from this place,
which, in brillianey, as well as in its general
appearance and course, closely resembled
the one of the goth ult 1t passed across the
sky in a direction nearly northeast; and, in
stead of appearing over head, as did the for
mer one, it was considerably to the north,
its highest altitude being about 20 deg. about
the horizon. 1t presented the appearance of
single nucleus of great brilliancy, with a
tail Of fire behind it, small portions seeming
to part continuously from the principal body,
and to assume instantly trailing appear
ance. 1t was seen here at thirty-six mi
nutes past seven, New York time. OF course
it was quite light, as the sun had been down
but a very short time.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer says:
''Mr. Buchanan is most unlucky about the
post-office officials at Rutland, VT, than at
any other point. Thence has his arrow sped
and sped in vain. Mr.. Kane was removed
for Dougiasism in March last, and Mr.. Hall
was appointed. The latter having recently
proved unfaithful, person named Mcdaniel
was appointed in his place. Now it turns
out that Mr.. Mcdaniel left town to meet
Judge Douglas ON the occasion of his visit
to Rutland, and rode about the town with
him in procession, and introduced friends,
&c. So says the Rutland Courier.n

HOPKINS 372. COMBS majority over McCLAR-
TY, 1926.
The telegraph at noon yesterday reported
returns from sixty-four counties, giving
COMBS a majority of % ,l96, increase of TO-,
010 in five counties. The agent at Louisville
must be COMBS man. Wednesday about
noon he sent the following dispatch:
LOUISVILLE, Aug. All the counties in
the State are heard from partly official, the
remainder nearly complete, Combs majority
22,l70.
Wednesday he had heard from all the coun-
ties in the State yesterday he had heard
from only sixty-four and yet the majority
was considerably greater! We presume he
will try his hand to-day.-UniOn and Anleri-

Since the overwhelming defeat of the Yam

gust election, their organs pretend that it
was no test of the strength of BRECKENRIDGE

were rallying their forces for the struggle

organs, said:

gentlemen of different degrees of ultraisIn,
but who agree that the true policy is seces-
sion, and, as such, advise and counsel resort
to that extreme measure. Below we repub-
lish from the Southern GUARDIAN, an extract
from letter from the Hon. ". W. BoYCE
upon The subject. Il will be seen that he
also recommends secession. There appears
to be but one sentiment in South Carolina
upon this subject. If there are amongst the
leading men of the State any who entertain
more conservative views, they have failed, so
far as we are informed, to express ihem. We
may, therefore. very properly assume that
the voice Of South Carolina is for secession,
on the part of the entire South, if LINCOLN
succeeds to the Presidency. The only want
of accord amongst her leaders is on the ques-
ton whether she should secede alone, no
other State being willing to join her. Mr..
BoYcE AYERS that she L" has no choice but to
Immediately withdraw from the Uuion." But
