A Startling Astronomical Discovery.

The forthcoming number of the American
Journal of Sciences and ATts contains the
record OF a very remarkable discovery which
has been made by eminent astronomers
during the past year. This discovery estab-
fishes the new and startling feature of the
solar system, that there is at least one ring
of meteOric formations, surrounding the sun,
which has regular revolution. The recur.
renee of the meteOric display in August of
each year, is explained by the fact that the
earth passes, at that time, through the ring,
and the contact of its formations with our
atmosphere renders them visible in eombus-
ton. An article of Professor Newton in the
Journal, is specially valuable and interesting,
| as presenting the fact that the inclination of
the ring TO the elliptic has been measured,
and so far fixed as to render it certain that
the meteors of other known annual recur-
renee, can not belong to the same ring.
Whether other rings exist or not, remains
| to be shown, but this, for the present may
be regarded as ascertained, that q meteoric
ring, with an inclination of from $40 to 9Go
| to the ecliptic, and with periodic time OF
two hundred and eighty-one days, actu tally
forms an important part of the solar system,
and that the world passes through this ring
annually in August, and is several days in
| passing from side to side, so that its thick.
| ness Is FIVE to ten millions of miles.
Nearly every one knows that meteors OF
shooting stars, as they are called, are apnu.
ally visible in great quantities during the
month of August, on certain nights. On any
one of those nights two or three persons
watching the sky, may count from one tC
two hundred of them in an hour or two. i
may now be taken as an ascertained fact ID
astronomy, that these meteors, which consist
of various minerals, are few, out of many
millions of millions, which are located in {
great ring, that surrounds the sun, and is al
regular in its revolution as the earth or AM
planet. Professor Newton, taking one morn
ing's observation, makes rough calculation
that there are more than 100000, 000, 900, ,Q0I
of these bodies in the ring, ~ - a.
Thus it would seem that the track of
former orb of the solar system, years ago
rent by some terrific convulsion to fragments
has been discovered-its very orbit haviuI
been changed so that our own planet passe
through it. And thus a vision Is given O
that 0mnipotence exerted for destruction
which heretofore we have looked upon onl
| in its creative activity. A glimpse, it ma
be, is given of the future of other orbs tina
now roll in ether, uttering the Emusic of th
spheres.n Why may not the astronomer, q
he has heretofore been discovering new plan
: cts and systems, hereafter turn his telescop
; to reveal the ruins of others, whose fires hav
long since burned low, and whose histor
and observation will belong to a new depart
= ment in astronomical science-the archaeo
ogy OF the stars2

SWISS CHEEsE.-EaCh parish in Switzer-
land hires man, generally from the district
Of Gruyere, in the Canton of Freyburgh, TO
take care of the herd and maka the cheese;
one cheeseman, one pressman or assistant,
and one cowherd, are considf red necessary
for every forty cows. The owners Of the
cows get credit in book for the quantity of
milk given by each COW daily. The chees
man and his assistants milk the COWS, put
the milk all together, and make cheese Of it;
and at the end Of the season each owner re-
ceives the weight of cheese propoftionable
TO the quantity Of milk his cows have deliv-
cred. By this cooperative plan, instead OF
small sized, unmarketable eheeses, which
each owner could produce out of his three or
four cows milk, he has the same weight in
large, marketable cheese, superior quality,
because made by people who attend to nc
other business. The cheeseman and his as.
sistants are paid SO much per head of the
COWS in money or in cheese; or some times
they hire the cows, and pay the owners il
money or cheese. A similar system exist
| in the French Jura. rg -rst .a. s-

Hend Rebels Drinking the Bitter Cup of
Their Own Mixing. II

Not few of the chief conspirators and

RA1rn wA1po ENERsoN on rnr wAn.-

RAIPH WALDO EMERSON ON THE WAR;
In lecture delivered in the Fraternity
course in Boston, last week, Mr.. Emerson
discussed the war, as follows:
The country is relieved in the belief that
IL has government at last. What healthy
tone now at last exists. When the sad lists
Of our losses are made out, the slain counted,
the result will yet show an improvement on
our former existing state The war for the
Union is broader than any mining or agri-
cultural interest-but the Union is not
broad enough. The legs which once were
not long enough and strong enough to
cross the Potomac are long enough now.
The South keeps out white labor. Slavery
makes disunion-emanciputio makes
union. can not be blind to the service
which war is doing to the Southern States !;
they have walked TO some semblance Of pro-
gress have put in motion their sleepy,
half-parAlyzed limbs.
Who knows the future Of the war; who
has not been thwarted in his guesses so
far; who knows there will not be peace
ful dissolution Leave them to deal with
themselves and they will learn something
of commerce, Of human nature and the ten
| commandments. Now that we have learned
the secret that two railroads are better than
a river, we can spare the Mississippi until
it has better people on its banks.
l hope the war; said he, will heal a
greater wound than it makes. We have
learned to accept every theory of evil. The
end of all political struggle is to establish
freedom as the basis of its government
This is the lesson which the times speaks
namely, that the government must be a
moral one. What signifies proclamation
or secretary's order against the reality Of
things2 The maxim of historians has ever
been that victory falls where it ought to
fall. Our cause is in hands stronger than
ours, .'."

would require; 1SO, 900 yards of cloth, 10000

Another Blow Mt the South

The Washington correspondent of the New
York EOening Post says, under date of No.
vember 49,: 9'
The instructions given to Commodore Du-
pont were Of such q character that it is quite
possible that he may soon strike another
blow at another important point. 1t is said
that the Government does not contemplate
any immediate advance inte the interior of
South Carolina, but will secure Port Royal
barbor and good footing upon the shore
enough to form base for military operations
during the winter, if it should be considered
desirable to push column into the heart of
the rebel country by way Of South Carolina.
Scouts coming in from below Fairfax and
the region of Manassas report that there ia
great uneaspess among the South Carolina
and Georgia troops, and that they have de-
manded the privilege of returning home to
defend their own States. The Confederate
Government, perceiving in this demand the
seeds Of its own destruction, has instructed
General Johnston to deny the demand at
every hazard. 1t is also evident that John
ston and Beauregard are unwilling to spare
aregiment. They have not morethan eighty
thousand troops within forty miles of Wash
ipgton, and they are hourly in expectation OF
an attack by General Mcclellan.
Whatever General McOlellans purposes
may be, it is we'll ascertaIned fact that the
rebels expect an early advance of the Federal
army upon Manassas. So far no troops have
been spared from the rebel army of the Po.
tomac, except two or three regiments fol
| Tennessee and lower Kentucky, where the
rebels are in more desperate condition than
at Manassas or at Beaufort. The cold weather
occasions great suffering in the rebel army
especially among the troops which are from
the extreme Southern States, and there i:
much discomfort. The discipline is more
stringent than has been represented. 1
