THE LATE CoxET.-The American Journal
of Arts and Sciences gives the honor of the
discovery of the late comet to a man in Mich
igan. 1t says:
Observations made by Lieut. ellis and
Professor Robinson, o. s. n, at Washing
ton, as well as by Professor Hubbard and
Mr.. Ferguson, demonstrates conclusively
that this comet is not only not the comet Of
1856, called Charles Y, but that this is its
first appearance-its debut. In this conclu-
sion the distinguished astronomer, E. P.
Bond, of Harvard, concurs. He estimates
the breadth of the head of the comet, at the
nucleus, at l56, 900 miles, the hight of the
inner envelope at 800 miles, and the
length of the tail at Is, 900, 900 miles. The
credit of the discovery of the comet DR.. Bond
awards to DR.. Brunnon, of the Ann Arbor
mich. Observatory. He detected its pres
ence in the heavens between one and two
O'Clock on the morning of Sunday, June Both.
Some claim to have seen it on the Friday pre-
ceding, but this, E. P. Bond asserts, was
impossible, as it could not have been visible
at that time.

THE PATRIOTISM OF New YoRK.-The Bos-
ton Post, leading organ of the New Eng
land Democracy, thus speaks of the patriotic
spirit which is animating the people of the
Empire State:
But grand as is the patriotic spirit of Bos.
ton, how can icy cold words tell of the ma
tional glory that encircles New York? Think
of sixty or seventy thousand troops from
this single city This is not the boiling up
of a sudden fever; it is the steady tug OF
wonderful power-of all the bone and sinews
of war-men and means The description
of the various fresh regiments going forward
with Incredible energy, that load the COL
umns of the New York press, show steady
fame of enthusiasm to protect the Govern
ment that we venture to say is quite unpar-
alleled in the history of cities. So much for
the city Now look over that great State. 1t
has the aspect of lion reused from its lair
Hundreds of cities and of towns are, in pro-
portion to their means, as full of devotion to
the sacred cause of the country; and the
very soil trembles with the tread of the arm
ed hosts that are mastering to the sorrowful
work that must be done to sustain the Con-
stitution and the Union.

EXPULSION OF JUDGE CArRoS FROM Ten.

EXPULSION OF JUDGE CArRoN FROM Ten
NEssEE-The Louisville Journal, of August
18th, gives the annexed particulars relative
to the expulsion of Judge Catron from Nash
vile, Tennessee:
One day last week the Vigilance Commit.
tee of Nashville waited upon Judge Catron,
and informed him that he must either resign
his Office fudge or leave the State, and ask
ed him which he would do. The Judge was
not prepared to render an answer. The
Committee gave him twenty four hours to de-
eide upon his cause, letting him understand
that if at the end of that time he should ne;-
ther have resigned nor left Tennessee, they
would take his affairs into their own hands
meaning that they would eject him by what
ever force might be found necessary. With
in the twenty four hours the old man took
his departure from Tennessee, leaving bis
aged wife behind him, as she was too sick and
feeble to be removed We heard of him in
this city on Friday or Saturday. but did not
see him. We presume that he is still in this
vicinity

which led to the summit of Gamskarh- Ko-

by descending in straight line Scarcely

New AND VALUABLE BooKs.-Messrs H.
H. Bancroft & CO., of San Francisco, have
laid on our table VOL of Labatt's California
Digest of the decisions of the Supreme Court
of this State. We have examined this work
with attention, and can say that while in al |
respects it is equal to any work of the kind
ever given to the public, it is in many par
ticulars superior to anything of the kind to
which our attention has been called. To the
man of business it is valuable, while to the
profession it is beyond price. The second
volume will soon be ready. From the same
publishing house we have received Labatt's
Practice Act of the State. This embraces
all the laws regulating the practice of our
Courts, and isvery valuable. References are
made to decisions of the Courts upon all
points of law decided in this State respecting
questions of practice. We are indebted to
that same enterprising firm for a copy of
Largent's Original Dialogues, edited by
Espes Largent, gentleman well known to
the literature of the day. 1t fills common
want felt in our schools, where it will no
doubt be at once generally introduced

War WILL rHE ARxr EAr?-Tbe editor


of the Springfield (Ill) Journal has taken
the pains to make calculation of the
amount of provisions required to feed the
proposed Federal army of half million men,
and here is the result:
We have carefully examined the tables in
the army regulations, in strict accordance
with which the rations are dealt out, and find
that for SOC, 900 men one year, are required
of staple pradncts
lst-6S4, 900 barrels of pork 600 pounds
EACH
2d-1, lac, ,625 barrels of beef 600 pounds
each.
3D., ,239. .563 bushels of wheat (comput-
ing five bushels OF wheat to one barrel of
four.)
4th-356, $50 bushels of beans.
There can scarcely be required less num-
Der than 5000 horses, for cavalry, teams,
&C.. For these there must be furnished:
lst-19l, ,625 tons hay
2d-l0. .265. .325 bushels of oats. or its
equivalent in corn or barley.

HosrILlrlEs IN ARIzoNA.-Col. Boylor,,

HosrILlrlEs IN ARIzoNA.-Col. Boylor,
commanding rebel force from the State Of
Texas, has been capturing forts and men,
and playing smash generally in Arizona.
The United States were inferior in numbers
to the rebels, and had to surrender. Fort
Fillmore was evacuated, and the men, un-
der Maj. Lynde, numbering 800 or 400, were
surrendered. This simple statement is the
strongest argument we can raise to the Union
men of California to respond to the call of the
President, and furnish with all possible dis
patch tie five regiments called for. Come to
the rescue, loyal men of California! and roll
back the tide of rebellion and revolution that
is at your doors.

GEN. LYoN.-The memory of this gallant
man is revered and respected throughout the
length and breadth of the loyal States. Bold,
independent and scientific, the very model of
polished soldier, he had gained the conf
dcncc of his army and respect of his country,
when cut down in leading his column to a
brilliant victory. Missouri owes Gen. Lyon
greater debt of gratitude than the loyal
people of that State can ever pay. The
mere handful of men that he commenced to
battle for the Union with, his capture of
"Frost's Brigade" F" and subsequent successes
will endure as long as the pen of the histo
rian will chronicle this worlds history.

HARNEY AND WooL.-The belief is gener-
al that these distinguished soldiers will
shortly be assigned commands in the Grand

mands, they certainly ought to have columns,

HOMICIDE. A dispatch to the Sacramento
Union, from Carson City, N. T., September
lst, says: Last night, in Washoe Valley, a
man named Hartly was shot dead at the
door of his own house. 1t seems he had
some difficulty with some person, whose name
we cannot learn, about family matters
Ha-tly had been heard to threaten to shoot
some one on sight, but mentioned no names.
Last night man knocked at his door, and
when Hartly stepped out, he was shot, the
ball passing through his neck, killing him
instantly. The assassin fed. We learn
this from a man who was in Hartly's house
in bed at the time. There is no clue as vet
to the assassin.

IT was our intention to publish the vote

opponents it is unnecessary to do so. They
are unquestionably ahead by large majorities
their opponents being nowhere in the
fight. The only candidate of whom there is
any doubt, is Mr.. Tracy. The vote for Treas

ably elect Mr.. Tracy by l20 majority. At

WHAT THE "INcoME TAX" MEANs.-A

come Tax is levied on all incomes over and
above $500 per annum, beginning with the
lst of january next-the rate to be 8 per
cent. ordinary, and 5 per cent. on the in
comes of non-residents derived from property
in the United States. The tax upon incomes
derived from Treasury notes and United
States securities, however, is to be only II
per cent. This Income Tax, of course, will
personally affect all who receive regular wa
ges or salaries-all persons, business firms.

from any source of business, trade or voca.

For once, misrepresentation, vituperation,

of patriotism, Coalitions combinations,
trading, and every species Of rascality in the

free resort to it. The brood of hungry Office
seekers who swarm as every election rolls
round, are effectually rebuked and shelved.
Men who pretended to be Democrats, and
who were Ioudest in brawling in the streets,
were seen to cast pure Republican votes, and
to belle their whole political life, and done
thus for the mess of potage" that the peo-
pie in their wisdom has withheld from them.
In future we hope that higher standard of

How TO BUILD FLEEr.-In North and
East Germany the people are enthusiastic for
building united German fleet. At Berlin
it is proposed to build big war steamer by
voluntary tax of Prussian penny (l-10th
the English coin) on every pint of beer drank
by citizen. Every true Berliner drinks
from six to ten pints per diem, which, sup.
posing but 100000 patriotic drinkers, will
make daily contribution of f400, and real
ize in few years a fund sufficien. for very
creditable feet of war steamers.

Pay OF SoLIERs INcREAsED.-By an Act of
Congress recently passed, the soldiers pay
is increased from eleven to fifteen dollars per
month, and the pay of non-col missioned Of
fcers is increased in proportion. To the
late three months troops a bounty of thirty
dollars per man is offered if they re-enlist for
the war individually, forty dollars if they
re-enlist by companies, and fifty dollars if
they re-enlist by regiments. This liberality
will no doubt be attended with good effect,
and in these hard times the Government will
probably obtain all the men it wants.

WORTH NorING.-The speeches, letters
and other documents sent forth to the people
during the late campaign, by the Republican
State Central Committee, consisted chiefly
of those made by Douglas Democrats. The
leading Republicans failed completely to es-
tablish the fact, that they are conservative
Union-loving, and their attempt to gull the
public by aping the doctrines of Douglas
men, deserves the punishment Of the pillory.

SIGNIFIcANT.-The independent candidate
for Senator in this district received no votes
in Trinity Centre or Horsetown. Lack of

as circumstances permit, are not, in our es
timation, strong recommendations in any as
pirant for public Office.
