ASTRONOMICAL LECTURE

Our people were interested on Thursday
evening by a lecture from Mr.. Caldwell, en-
kracing in it's scope a general and extensive
view Of Astronomical science. Among
the topics discussed. were the causes Of day

and Winter: of the ebb and flow of the Tides;
the velocity Of light: the relative size, dis
tances and velocity of the Heavenly bodies;

and 'intcrmarry with the same freedom
granted the Caucasian race. 1t is
this: the eternal, undying fat ofsGod
and nature DEGREES ample punishment
for allinfractions ofnature's laws, up
on all trensgressors. In conformity
with this decree, when natures laws
are obeyed, the human species are per-
petuated in their highest perfection;
in violation of this natural law, defor-
nifty mental and physical ensues, and
in anal gamation at the fourth gen.
Grafton from the first infraction OF
Gods law, absolute sterility ensues'
These facts show the design Of God in
calling the negro into existence, nat
urally inferior to the nobler Caucas
sian. to have been, that in some Ca
pacity this race shculd be subservient
to the white. This is evidenced by the
naturalness of the relations of master
and servant; such a thing as a negro
revolt, an extensive instruction Of that
race without being instigated by tho
whites, or where there did not exist a
powerful ad-mixture Of Saxon blood,
being unknown to the, history of the
world. ......
They naturally look to the white maa
as their guardians, as their protector ),
as their masters. and have no higher
ambition in any condition Of life that
circumstances may force upon. them,
than in some capacity to become the
servant ofthe superior race. |
And when any school of politicians
assume this war to be one for the lib
GRAFTON of that race, or to in any man
Rer interfere with the relations existing
naturally and legally between master
and slave, they assume 1t to be war
against both the letter and spirit
Of the Constitution, and as such,
aiming at the destruction If the
Union. While the administration
is warning for the maintenance of
the Constitution, the supremacy
of the Laws, and the perpetuation
of the Union, millions of loyal
hearts Will rally around and sus-
tain it in the conflict. When it
avows its purpose one for the alb
clifton Of slavery, three fourths
of those now called into service
will be arrayed against it, while
united South and divided
North will oppose, embarrass,
and if possible counteractthe con-
sumation Of any such designs
ca the part Of the Government.

bayonct mandatory established in that city
by Messrs. Cook and Brother. These enter
prising manufacturers started this establish
mrnt since the war, in the face Of the greatest
discouragements and unaidcd by capitalists.
By his own skill and ingenuity and such me-
chanical aid as he could command, Mr. Cook
has succeeded iu making the necessary ma
chiuery to turn out first class weapons. Be-
giuniDg On small scale, his orders lave so
increased and his business is SO expanded

This enterprise is worthy of the highest
commendalon. In no other way could the
protector of this successful work SO nobly serve

people are making for independence. Not
only is he supplying the great desideratum of

A BEAUTIFUL THorGHr.-Wheu engineers
would bridge stream, they often carry over
Mt frs: but single thread. With that they
next stretch wire across. Then straud is
added to strand, until foundation is laid Of
plank; aud now the bold engineer finds safe
footway and walks from side to side. So God
takes from us some golden threaded pleasure,
and stretches it hence into heaven. Then He
takes child, and then u friend. Then He
bridges death and teaches the thoughts of the
