Scientific Observation OF the Great
Meteor seen in the East.

Professor Bartlett, of the Military Aeade-
my at West Point, n. Y, has this account of
his observations, for making which he had
peculiarly favorable opportunities:
The meteor passed over West Point on the
evening of the goth instant, about Oh. SOM.
p. NJ. 1t made its first appearance in the
west, and moved, apparently very slowly, to
the east; its motion resembling that of fire
balloon propelled by the burning of a feeble
rocket composition! At nearly equal inter-
walls it threw off masses of burning matter,
which Immediately took the shape aud veloc-
ity OF the principal body, with, however,
greatly diminished luminosity; the whole
suggesting the idea of a parent followed by
a numerous progeny, dotting her path
through the heavens. Just before it disap-
peared, the principal mass divided into two
nearly equal portions.
The color, which was intensely bright, was
at first blue aud then white, which at the
close took a tinge of yellow. The altitude
seemed not greater than that attained by
ordinary signal rockets; and this, together
with the seemingly slow motion, led at first
to the inference that it was some new and
marvellously successful pyrotechnic device,
fired from the western hills. 1t lasted about
one inmate and quarter. AS it eliminated
its projection on the celestial sphere was
great altitude, from the slowness of its appa-
rent motion. If its projection can be had
from other stations, its parallax, and there
fore, its true distance from the earth may
readily be Inferred"
Professor Bartlett's theory for the explana-
ton of these phenomena is as follows:
These bodies are of the nature of planets,
and circulate about the sun in orbits as I'M
erriugly as their larger brethren. When they
and the earth come simultaneously 10 those
points of their orbits (which are nearest to-
gether, the action of the earth often becomes
superior to that of the sun, and the small
masses are drawn to the surface. Plum cling
with enormous velocity into our atmosphere
these little bodies compress the air in front
and rub against it with such violence on the
sides, as to produce heat enough to fuse, and
sufficient to illuminate the most refractory
and darkest of substances. The exterior and
molten crust is swept to the rear by the re-
Sisting air, new surface becomes exposed;
this, in its turn, is fused and carried back
ward, and so on till finally the whole track OF
the meteor is strewn with groups of disinte-
grated and sciutillating material.

False numor abou, Mr.. Everett.

The ~. Y. Tribune recently started the re-
port that Mr.. EVERETT, offended at the course
of the leading Constitutional Union men in
New York, had determined to withdraw his
name from the ticket. This falsehood is
characteristic of the Tribune. 1t lets no OPP
portunity slip to circulate unfounded and
malicious reports about its opponents.
On the 18th inst, al Trenton, in a speech
to the Constitutional Union Convention, Col.
RErTox noticed the 7ribauls's falsehood, and
exploded it rs follows
On Thursday, l spent an hour with our
candidate Tor the Wee Presidency, Mr.. Ever

seirits Mr.. Everett told me that he had de-
sired to spend the remnant of Lis life in pri-
yacy; that be had been called upon by the

ciined to do so; but when the nomination
came to him for Vice President. being con-
aected with John Bell, the statesman OF Ten

have declined. CCheers. l have said this to
settle the statement that he will decline.-
Mr.. Everett does not lsfend TO decline, and Mr.

~The supporters of BRECKINRIDGE IN
this State generally admit, we believe, that
tn, Richmond Convention was made up
chiefly of disunionists. And the Richmond
Convention was the first to nominate Mr..
BRECKENRIDGE for the Presidency. At Charles
ton, after the seceders left the Convention,
he received about half dozen votes. The
disanionists were shrewd enough to know
their man, and therefore, both at Richmond
and Baltimore. nominated him without con-
test. Indeed, there is scarcely circumstance
connected with that nomination, which does
not point TO the great end and aim OF the dis
unionists, the disruption OF the existing gov
erament and the establishment of a Southern
Confederacy. Let the conservative people
of all parties be warned in time, of the infiu-
ences that are at work to circumvent and

met with a most fattering reception. ii,
proceeded to address the meeting in an able
digniiied and eloquent manner = maxim,
quite favorable impression upon the Op

he was frequently applauded during his
speech, and took his seat amid tremendous
cheering.
Thomas B. Bateman was then loudly called
for and soon appeared. He was warmly
greeted and spoke for near two hours and
threw hot shot thick and fast into the old
sinking ship of Democracy-his manner is
peculiar to himself-but his speech was a
telling one-it was decided hit-his friends
were deli GIFTED with it. Again and again
was he applauded loudly and long. After
he concluded the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That these proceedings be sent
for publication to the Republican Banner and
the Nashville PATRIOT, and that all the Union
papers in this Congressional District are also
requested to publish the same.

THE LEAGUERs OF THE SoCTH.-An Ala
bama correspondent of the Washington
STATE, having charged that the Southern
Leaguers are now actively working in secret,
under oatts and signs, and that they are rap
idly spreading in-several of the Southern
States including South Carolina, the Charles
ton Mercury says, that so far as that State is
concerned the statement has no foundation
in truth. 1t says there is no necessity for
such an organization as that in South Caro-
lima, for the reason that the whole State Is al
ready Southern League. As proof of the
statement, the Mercury exuitingly refers to
the fact, that out OF all the newspapers In
South Carolina, that take part in politics,
there is not one that does not support BRECK-
ISRIDGE and LANE. How long will the DEM
ocrats of Tennessee who love the Union and
desire its perpetuity continue to be deceived
as to the true character OF the movement
by which Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE was brought for
ward as candidate for the Presidency:

In that letter the writer makes the following
statement
Mr.. Parsons, in reply said '.that his whole
object in getting into this Convention was,
that he might secure the nomination of S.
A. Douglas, as this was the only way in his
judgment to destroy and ruin his old foe, the
Democracy"
Not only so, but further said he intended
his movement as q feint to the Democracy
to conceal his real purposes, if he could but
reach bis aims"
This settlement Is untrue every scord of a. Ny

This denial would be unnecessary, but for

Therefore request you, as an act Of Justice,
