Yesterday afternoon Lieut. Yelverton
and lS men of the 7th New York regiment
made reconnaissance from Newport News
up James River road, to within ! ! miles
of Great Bethel. At.that point they came
upon FIVE of the rebel pickets, who precip-
itously fed, leaving behind, with other
trophies, their hats and coats, which showed
that the owners we're officers. In the pock-
cts letters were found, several just finished
giving q complete account of the late ad-
vance Of 2 500 men from Yorktown to
attack Newport News They describe the
wretched fare of troops and the manner
ia which they were obliged to beg or steal.

The Republicans, who are endeavoring
10 organize mo Party" party in Ohio,
pretend to hold out the idea that they
viii nominate Hon, David Tod, for Gov.
ernor. This is all sham. They will dc
nothing of the kind. Tod is an Old Line
Democrat, and will not suit the 'irrepres'
sible conflict gentlemen, who control the
Republican party. Giddings, Stanton OF

To tie Members Of the Bar in the Coun

GENTLEMEN: I received several days
ago a paper. signed by nearly all the
members of the Bar who practice in this
sub division, requesting me to be candi-
date for reelection to the Office of Judge
of the Court Of Common Pleas; and the
request is made without distinction of
party" Of the few whose names do not
appear in the letter, majority have in
person expressed their entire approval of
its object and terms.
Party spirit has been so intense in this
State, that it has rot often been practical
BILE to select public officers in any other
smanner than through the action of polit-
ical parties; though large majority of
persons, doubtless, have always desired to
make an exception in regard to the Judges;
and I am glad to say that the party of
which am member, and the party gen.
orally known as the constitutional Union
party" have, in an appropriate manner,
fully endorsed your action. / am not
aware that there has been meeting of
the. Republican party, or of its Central
Committee. in any county of the sub
division, at which any actionin regard to
this mattef could have been taken; bat
the names appearing on your letter, and
the friendly tone of the Republican press,
seem TO indicate the general concurrence
Of that party in your action. go 9s4
| Accept my sincere thanks for this ex-
preston of esteem, and for the manner 10
which it is conveyed. l accede to your
request in the same spirit My health is
now fully restored. and the experience ot
my present term has not. I trust, been
without its advantages; yet if reelected

.The Governor Shall Appoint, !

{ % The GoVernOr Shall iAppontsa
In reading over the laws passed by the
late Republican Legislature Of Ohio, We
have been astonished to notice thesamount
of power that has been given the Governor
OF Ohio. It is almost Incredible, No
petty despot of Europe has one.tenth the
power conferred upon him that has been
voted to Governor Dennison.l If this
power was used fairly and wisely perhaps
the people would not complain so much;
but when used solely for the purpose Of
putting into place and power political
parasites, friends and relatives, to eat the
peoples substance, it is no wonder that
.cursings, loud and Deep" are heard in
every quarter Seneca Advertiser.

Whether they are the offspring of dis

Comet.

The comet which made its sudden and
brilliant appearance on Sunday night,
June, Both, is supposed to be ths one
known as Charles ", whose appearance
in 1856, is said to have driven that mon
arch into monastery. We take the fol-
lowing account of it from the Cincinnati
Press:
+ The FIRST certain record of the passage
by the present comet of its perlhelion was
in 1854, and the second in 1866, two
years before the death OF Charles V. Its
return was confidently predicted again in
lS48 but as it did not make its appear
ance, mathematicians instituted investiga-
tions. whish showed that on account of
planetary influences it might not reach its
perihelion till 1862; but the period could
not be delayed longer than that year.
From description given by some of the
writer's of the Augustine age, it is believ.
ed that the comet which was seen just be-
fore the death of julius Caesar, and which
was currently believed to be harbinger
of that event, is identical with tie pres
ent one, but of this nothing has been
definitely ascertained.
The train of the comet is about go Ge
grees in length, extending from about 80
degrees above the horizon. at nine o'clock
to the zen tn; and for more than hall
the length, it is remarkably brilliant
The solid, or perhaps mere properly the
nebulus point, resembles star of the
first magnitude in size, but is less brilliant
At present it is moving towards its peri
helion, and will be visible for several
nights, when it will again be lost in the
distance, not again to be visible for three
centuries.
Oae remarkable feature is, that it has
always appeared during the season Of
greet revolutions. In 1884 the Turks
were threatening Constantinople, and ir
1856 all Europe was shaken with political
and religious commissions. The different
manner in which it has been viewed at the
different periods, however, is an excellen,
illustration of the progress of intelligence
In 1854 prayers were instituted in the
churches; and in 1856 all classes were
frightened at the supposed monster. Bu
in 1851 it is an object of scientific curl
osity, Invested Of all terror.
| Burritt in his Geography Of the Heau

visit when they pass beyond the limits o.
our view; upon what errands they come
when they again revisit the central partl
of our system; what is the difference be
