A REMARKABLE PHENOMENON.

u. "A writer in the Stanton Spectator, dating at
Lewisburg, Greenbrier county, Va, Sept 18th,
writes to that paper description of a remarkable
atmospheric phenomenon witnessed in that town.
1t was seen by our pickets a few miles from the
town. The same scene has been described in sew
eral respectable papers, the editors of which all
vouch for the reliability of their informants. The
writer says:
remarkable phenomenon was witnessed few
miles west of this place, at the house of Mrs. Pear
Cyl on the LIST day of this month"; at about o'clock,
P. NJ, by Mr. Moses Dryer, her neighbor, who
happened to be seated IN herporch at the time, as
we'll as by others at or near the house. -
The weather was quite hot and dry, not cloud
could be seen, no wind even ruf1ed the foliage on
the grand panorama began to move. Just over and
through the tops of the trees onthe adjacent hills
on the South, immense numbers ofrolls resembling
cotton or smoke, apparently of the size and shape
of doors, seemed to be passing rapidly through the
air. yet in beautiful order and regularity. The rolls
seemed to be tiuged on the edge with light green
so as to resemble border or deep fringe. There
were apparently thousands CT them, and were per.
haps, hour in getting by. After these had pass
cd and out of sight the scene was changed from
the air above to the earth beneath and became more
intensely interesting to the spectators who were wit
Messing the panorama from different stand. points
In the deep valley beneath, thousands upon thous-
ands OF (apparently) human beings (men) came IN

marching in good order, some thirty or forty IN
depth, moving rapidly" double quick and COM
