Scientific Progress During the Past Year
Astronomy.

A very complete investigation of the suns photo
sphere has been made. The discovery which Mr.
Nasmvth announced in 1852, that the of light
clouds which surround the nucleus of the is
posed large portions of matter shaped like willow
leaves each being twenty Thousand miles long,
and crossing another in conceivable direction,
has been demonstrated and with certain notifications,
accepted.
Most persons are aware that discoveries have
detected an error in the calculations of older astrono
mers 1t has been shown that we at least four
millions of miles to the than has been here
.ofore believed Bearing upon this is statement
which has made the effect that the supposed
distance of the from the earth is also incorrect
From laborious examination of lunar observations,
made simultaneously at the Cape of Good Hope and
various European observatories Mr.. Hugh Breen has
found that really nearer the moon than has
been computed. The difference between the two sets
of figures shows taat satellite IS 20 lies
closer TO than was previously imagined.
Perhaps the most Important discovery, and that
which will most prominently mark the past year in
the history of Astronomical progress Is that which
was announced to the Royal Society by Messrs. Hug
gins and Miller This discovery upsets all the doc
trines to which astronomers have pinned their faith
during the present century. Every one is familiar
with the Nsb,ao, expression employed to des
irnate certain misty masses of matter from which
light is emitted, and which only be examined with
the aid of the most powerful telescopes These bodies
which appear shapeless clouds of light at immense
distances from the earth, have been of late years
studied and observed by all classes of astronomers ;
and more recently, they have been regarded being
simply huge clusters of fixed stars which on account
of their enormous distance from u.s. appear blended
together into a confused mass. Watchful observers
concluded as have said and il has been for
the delight of astronomers to resolve, the term IS
these nebue. Since, however thanks to the research
of Funsen and kirchof, new system of chemical
ANALYSIS exists, by means OF which We can tell from
the light which body emits what the nature of its
compositlon and since tins method mas been put IN
practice in the of the and fixed stars showing
in them a constitution closely resembling tha our
earth Messrs. Huggins and Miller determined to put
the light of the nebula to similar test The spec
trum analysis of the Lebular light has been accom-
plished and wonderful tell, it has revealed the
presence of only two elements and these are
gases Hence, the conclusion inevitable that the
nebula are most probably enormous masses OF funn-
gases vapoe. This important conclusions which
one of the most able that has been for long
time arrived at brings astronomers back, in some de-
gree the peculiar views of Lapace expressed in
his "Nebuar Hypothesis"

threatened dwelling houses. OF these
scenes we can present one which is full Of
thrilling interest. Messrs. McGurk Mo-
Goulgie, and Saml McMenamin Fleet
wood, members of the Moyamencing
Hose Company. rushed into the building
ll36 and rescued all therein.
Fleetwood, whose name deserves to be
written on the scroll Of fame, rushed into
the building occupied by the unfoytunate
Ware family. At this time the burning
oil, kissing and seething, came pouring
down the street, and the house, from
but moment before, was licked up by
the red, ' frey tongues Of the demon Of
destruction. At this time the brave
Fleetwood was bearing in his strong
arms the body, it is supposed, Of Mrs.
Ware or one of her daughters.
His companions were driven back by
the near approach Of the burning element
the increasing heat and sitting smoke.
Almost at the same moment the burning
oil burst through the rear part Of the
the house, and, flowing through the en-
try, all chance of escape was gone. Tho
brave fireman endeavored to fight his
way out, still holding the woman in his
arms. He reached the front door step;
it was moment Of horror; he leaped
from the step, driven by the flow Of
burning oil through the house, but the
flames closed around him; groan and a
shrek escaped the lips Of the victims.
and both fell in death. sasl
His companions endeavored to rescus
both, but it was impossible. The crisped
remains of them were found but q few
feet distant from each other. We saw
the charred body Of the brave young
man in the basement Of the old South

The Position Of Indiana.

We have often had occasion to con-
graduate our readers on the high emf
nence reached by our noble State in
consequence Of the valor Of the mighty
host of brave men she has sent to the
field to uphold and preserve our common
nationality but in civil honors Indiana
| has also achieved a standing never before
| accorded to her.
Previous to the inaguration of Mr.
Lincoln this State had never been repre-.
sented in the Presidents Cabinet, and
the highest foreign appointment that
had been bestowed upon any citizen of
Indiana was a second class mission.
In all the Presidential contests from
1S44 to 1856, the Indiana Democracy
carried the State by ever increasing
majorities, for the candidates of that
party, and gave it a support at once
earnest and enthusiastic; but when the
places of honor were to filled, there was
no recognition Of Indiana.
The treatment of this State by Re-
publican President, has been in striking
contrast to that awarded by line Of
Democratic Presidents who were gov
erned by the Southern ari stocracy.-
President Lincoln has appointed three
cabinet officers from Indiana, in less than
four years-namely, Caleb B, Smith,
John P. Usher, and lastly, Hugh Nc
Culloch
The appointment of McCulloch to the
important position of Secretary of the
Treasury is high compliment to the
State, and just appreciation of his
eminent abilitias as n financier He has
not been politician, and it is creditable
to the President that, disregarding the
claims of influential leaders in his party,
he has selected head of the Treasury
Department on no other grounds than
his conceded qualifications for the DO
sition
We have been further honored in the
estim alton of our sister States by the
great executive ability of our Governor.
supported, az he has been, by the patri.
otism of the people Of the State
Another son Of Indiana, Hon SCHUYLER
Colfax, has been. for the past two years,
Speaker of the National House of Rep
resentatives, and has filed that exhalted
position with an ability and dignity
never surpassed. We are not of those
who clamor for State Rights, in the
modern acceptation Of the term, nor do
we hold that q feeling of State pride
should be matured at the expense Of that
allegience and respect we owe to the
authority of the Nation, bat subordinate
to the love we bear to the Union, we
should foster just regard for the State,
her institutions and her houor, and the
people of Indiana may well pride them
selves on the eminent position now occu-
pied by their vigorous and patriotic
commonwealth Madison Courier

The South has not been destroyed yet,

re- establishment of the Union or the de-

but the question is. will the Southern
people persist until they are buried in the
sea of determination The war will go
on, as it ought to go IN, until the nation
triumphs but whether this complete
victory will be gained at the cost, to the
rebels, which PHARAOH paid for his
wickedness. cannot yet be foreseen ; but
even this great calamity may yet be in
store for our rebellious people.
But however this may be; however
near or however remote the time when
the cup of bitterness shall have been
drained, it is manifest that the sword
must now do the work which moral
suasion failed to perform and that if we
would escape the calamity of another
war in the future, we must press forward
until the nation shall be thoroughly
purged, and until those who made war
for slavery shall be adequately chastised
and brought into subjection to the ma
tional authority that is merely the instru
ment for accomplishing designs, formed,
not in earth but in Heaven, and not in
accordance with the wishes of short
sighted and selfish men, but in accord
ance with those unchanging laws by
which the Great Ruler governs the
world.
