insignifcance.
What the nature of the strange visitor
is, has not been determined. 1t is not
probable it is comet, for the approach
Of one of the magnitude that apparently
belongs TO this object would have longago
been noticed by the astronomers, and It's
path predicted, aud pointed out Its ap
pcarance has been too sudden, unless, UNI
Ike all other we'll behaved comets, it
sprang forth TO view Minerva like, full

1t Is not, as thought by some, the com.
ct whose approach was sometimes since
noticed, as that cratic visitor has already
passed It's pcrihelion and is now winging
It's flight far away through tho realms OF
space. 1t is also unlike any ordinary me-
teor in its general appearance, and espe-
cislly in reference to its immense tail,
which is remarkably beyond anything OBJ
served of late years. 1t is probably cos
mic body, with no regular orbit or period
of revolution.
Observations were undoubtedly made
upon it by the astronomers throughout
the country, aud the result Of them will
no doubt be soon made public, Until

The words rebellion" and "loyalty,"

pendent States, Joined together by con-
tract which derived its validity from each
individual assent, fall strange upon mind
accustomed to accept the characteristics of
fixed forms of government, as they have
been made familiar to us by the old writ
ers, but here we have them in use just as
we have in Austria or Russia. If how

Sicily, and Commodore Tatnall, who is the

certainly not more pirate than was Carl
baldi. As we treated Garibaldi so we
must treat Commodore Tatnall. AS we
respected the blockade of the fleet of the
King of Naples, SO we shall respect the
blockade of the Southern ports by the
fleets of the North; and as we respected
the beligerent rights of the conqueror of
Palermo, who was really at that moment
not very distinguishablo from o corsair, SC
we must most certainly respect the bellig.
erent rights of eleven regularly constituted
States. 1t is quite absurd in the Northern
States to expect us to take part in this
quarrel. and it is rather sign of imbecility
to suppose their scoldng can affect u.s.

of slavery throughout the Union, they will
have all our sentiment on their side. But
we have heard no whisper of this hitherto
In other matters we have more reason tC
regret our separation from our customers
of the South than from the protectionist'
of Philadelphia. But they are both, anC
they are all our friends, and almost oul
coentrymen; and our plain duty is to dc
justice to both by holding strictly to oul
neutral rights, and relaxing them to the
detriment of neither.

STRENGTH OF IcE. Recent experiments
made in Germany show that when ice is
an inch and half thick, il will just bear
the weight of a single man; when it is
three and half thick, it will bear de-
tachments of infantry marahing in open
order; when il is four inches and half
thick, eight Founders may be safely run
over on sledges eight inch ice will bear
twenty-four Founders, and twelve inch
ice will bear almost any weight, as it
was never broken by any burthen.

The Day we Celebrate.

For the first time in a period Of more
than eighty years we celebrate our Ma
tons birthday in doubt aud SORROW, If
not in fear for the final result Of tho pres
ent terrible struggle. lndecp solicitude
our Patriot fathers watched the infant
years OF our feeble Republic gloried in
the Sta!worth blowsit put forth to win aud
afterwards in defence Of the rights and
liberties of its people, aud their sons have
exulted day and night, in season and out
of season, in her greatness and the posi-.
tion aud power which, under the bless
ing of Heaven, she had attained. But
al evil day has come upon us, and now
must be settled, and forever, we hope,
the question whether there is strength
in the Model Republic of the World to
withstand the assaults of ambition, fanata-
cism ana treason at home. Stripping
the present exciting issues of all extran-
eous elements, the only questions are:
Can we sustain our position and charac.
ter as nation and surrender to rebels
in arms, no matter under what pretext,
commercial rights Of most vital moment?
Can we recognize the absurd doctrine
of the right of secession, and not scatter
to the four winds all that remains to us
of greatness or power, or glory as ma
tionality? We say, emphatically, No;
and we say as heretofore, that there is
but one solution TO this question and that
is in the preservation of the Republic in
its integrity, at whatever cost. Nothing
can be more pertinent to the occasion
than the eloquent language in the late
letter of IIou. JOSEPH Holt, from which
we quote:
