THE c NET NOT THAT OF CHARLES V
A writer in the Chicago Journal, Thomas
Bunnett, of Ottawa, says tie SPLENDID
comet recently nightly visible in the North.
western heavens, cannot be, as was at first
supposed, The comet Of Charles V. When
first seen on Sunday evening, i. occupied
a position, in right ascension and deciina
ton, similar to that of point in the lat
ter's orbit, as viewed from the earth June
3Osh, and its physical features we'll corr es-
pond; but its rapid motion north and
west, as seen in the evening sky, forbids
the supposition Of its being the expected
comet. 1t appears TO be new retrogade
comet, or very ecnenlric orbit, which has
shot up like rocket from its perhelion,
and as passing ontwards. in our neighbor
hood much nearer than the comet Of 1864
could lie a. this line Of year.

THE LATE ExPLosIoN.-We visited the
scene of the late boiler explosion in the
Joliet distillsry the other day, and were
surprised at the havoc made. The build
ing in which were the boilers and engine,
was completely lifted from its foundation
aud the fragments scattered over acres of
ground. We are glad to learn that the
en- gineer, j. NJ. Creighton, who was SO Sc
verify scalded, is in fair way to recover.
Henry Bridge and the boy Cady, who were
also badly scalded, are nearly convalescent.
The establishment had been leased of Mr..
j. p. Murphy by Mess-s. Stone & Co., upon
whom the loss must be very heavy. The
boilers were nearly new, and no cause is
given for the explosion.

We hardly know what to advise cur
readers in regard to the notes of these
banks. 1t is said that the owners of some
of them are making arrangements to in
crease their securities. People, however.
should not become excited, or suffer a very
heavy shave, but wait until matters calm

Another Railroad.

Joliet, besides being favored with ca

the East and South, and four railroads, is
destined to be the terminus of another yery
important railroad.
Engineers are now at work preparing for
contract the proposed road from here to
Mendota. We learn that it is the purpose
of the company who have taken hold of the
enterprise, to have the work finished in as
short time as possible. A urge number
of hands will be put upon the work as soon
as the weather will permit. We are as
sured that before the end Of the year the
road will be completed to Mendoza.
The building Of this road and its compile.
ton will be of immense advantage to this
city. 1t will open commercial intercourse
with a vast extent Of rich farming coun.

Joliet, indeed. is fifty termed the Rail
road City. 1t has four railroads already,
and the prospect now is, that it will have
the Fl tn in very short time. With five
railroads and a canal and two plank roads,
we cannot see why Joliet should not become
one of the best points in the State.

Repeal the Tariff.

The Cincinnati Commercial says:
Our new and supremely idiotic Tariff is
a great lever placed in the hands Of the
secessionists, and they are employing it
with tremendous effect to pry off the border
slaves-States from the Union. 1t is vastly
more efficient than the negro question. The
negro cry had lost its etfeca in the border
States, for it was plain that the negro
question was better off within than it would
be without the Union. Bat the cry Of or
pressive revenue laws in the North, enacted
for the benefit Of special interests, ard that
there is more freedom of trade IN the South
will convince multitudes that they would
improve their condition by going out Of
the Union. There Is no necessity so press
ing and exacting as the repeal of the Tariff

bill should be introduced repeating the
Tariff. The moment an extra session is
called, and we think the call inevitable
petitions must be circulated throughout the

reputation of the miserably short SIGHTED
