| ASTRONOMICAL The planet Saturn was
in opposition to thu sun on the 4th in.
stant. and consequently it will be the
m ost favorable time for observation dn-
ring the present month. He nov shows
himself in the largest phase that IS pos.
sible to the inhabitants of this earth.
Saturn is distant from the sun about
nine hnndrsd millions of miles, and is
70 900 miles in diameter in bulk 900
times grester than the earth, and not
withstanding his vast size. revolves ou
his axis once in about 10 hours, con-
stituting his day and night.
Saturn has 8 moons and two vast fiat
concentric rings. "and to eyes like ours,
il any such eyes he upon il. it must be
hung ell aronnd by most gorgeous ming
lings and mass Of glory" His revolu-
tion around the sun constitutes about
80 Of onr years. The best time to view
him is from 9 o'clock in the evening to
midnight; two or more of his moons are
now distinctly visible with the aid OF q
good glass.
He is qnite brilliant in the southeast at
8 O'Clock in the evening. at about %
degrees above the horizon, and is quickly
known by his bright and steady rays
without any twinkling. A few degrees
southwest of Saturn may be seen the
bright fixed star Autares, whose nearest
distance from the earth. from the mos,

not be nearer than twenty triilions OF
miles. To conceive Of this immense dis
tance. suppose ball when discharged

We have Just been made acquainted

sources. The Comfy and Stats is progress

the question with MS is, as; to the am cunt
aud value OF the exports aud imports No
country can prosper where the imports ex-
'eeed the exports. That rule which political
economy applies to oindividualsand families,
is equally applicable to communities and
States. 1t matters not how much q man
makes, if he spends more than he makes or
as much, he can never accumulate or grow
rich. 1t is tho man who saves, who lays
aside for rainy day, that eventually be-
comes Independent. 1t is easier to make
money than to save it. If the State of
South Carolina aud County of Newberry
from agricultural pursuits derive so much
income, and the citizens who constitute the
County and State expend that income
abroad, it is plain that neither the State or
County can prosper. But if system of
manufactures be established, both the State
and County will soon be enabled to become
independent and will spend less from home,
while you will regain what you have lost,
and thereby accumulate wealth.
Establish manufactures, and there will be
but little money spent from home. You
have been too dependent heretofore on the
world for manufactured articles. You have
been but mere hewers of wood and drawers
of water for others. You have, in a word,
been too selfish and narrow-minded for
your interests. This unwise policy is not
confined to cotton goods alone It has ex
tended to everything, from the manufacture
of children's toys and rat traps to loco
motive. Step but into a store, even look
into your own houses and what do You
find? Brooms, tubs, baskets, hats, shoes,
boots. saddles. harness, cutlery, crocker7,
&C., all cf which have been manufactured
elsewhere. Then there is buggies, carriages,
barouches, every article of which ought to
be manufactured here. LEARCHUS.

The idea that Great Britain can be coaxed

preposterous and absurd that ever entered

Kind to the British Ministry; it would be-
tray at once degree Of diplomatic igno-

start on some other basis than this. The

loss of life and treasure which it involved
And the attempt to negotiate for satis2facc- tis2f
ton Under suoh wrongs must of necessity,
involve us not only an failure, but in ridi-
cuie. 'Tt Il. Aud nothing could make the failure
more complete, and the disgrace more sig
nal than to PROPOSE, Che cession of Canada,
with her 1000, 900 of people, us the measure
of the satisfaction which we require.
If theIpeople Of Canada desire annexation
to the United States, and apply to the home
government for release from it's authority in
order to carry out that desire, their action
would afford basis on which the matter
might be arranged. But until that, or
something like it, has been done, the less
we meddle with the matter the better The
less we lave to say about cession of Cana
do by England, as means Of atoning for
her wrongs and insults to us in the Alabama
business, the more likely shall we be ever to
obtain such cession.
We concur in the general Wow of the case
presented by Mr.. Sumner in his recent
speech But we confess we do not see how,
even on that basis, friendly negotiations arc
to be easily opened between the two govern
ments, for an adjustment of differences.
The tenor and tendency Of that speech is
toward war, rather than a peaceful settle-
ment. And Senator Chandler's proposition
IN the Senate is unquestionably and avowedly
in that direction. The paramount object
in both cases is to compel England to do,
what will most humiliate her, in satisfaction
of the wrongs she has done u.s. This can
not be done by negotiation. 1t can only be
done by war. and whenever the attempt to
accomplish it in that way is resolved upon,
we hope the job will be let ont to Senator
Chandler and his constituents. They seem
to have more leisure on their hands just now
than the rest of the country.
