Aurora Bork.vi.is. —A beautiful ex* hibition of the phenomena of the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Rights, was seen at Lynchburg on Friday morning. The ,Y«tr« says: About midnight the Northwestern horizon was illuminated with a hazy, yellow clowd. of a deep color, towards the horizon, and growiug lighter as it neared the upper edge, the sky presenting somewhat the ap pearance of daybreak. From the upper part of the cloud brilliant streams of light shot up in columnar form, changing in color and intensity until reaching the zenith, where they divided and crossed each other, presenting the appearance of waves oflight. The phenomena was of a remarkable charac ter, on account of the number of columns or streams oflight which flashed from thehuri sun at the same. It is very rarely that over five columns are witnessed, but on this occasion sheets oflight shot simultaneously from the north, northwest and north-eastern horizon, to the number of eight or ten, as suming every imaginable shape. Ik the notice of the robbery of Mr. W. W. Hangbton, published yesterday, the amount should have been $765, instead of $1,500. The loss is rather a serious one to Mr. Haughton, being a gentleman of frugal ity and industry. The manner of the robbery was cunningly devised and execu ted : Two negroes went into Mr. llaughton's gun shop, on Ellis street, with the supposed intention of having some repairing done to a pistol, and while one engaged Mr. H.’s at tention the other robbed his drawer. One of them was subsequently arrested, carried before a Jti.tice, and, ofcourse, jot juntice(f) Coksigkes per Steamer L.

The millitary passion hying strong in him, he discourseth of the eveut thnsly : Morning Report.— The morning report of company ‘W’ stood as follows this morning: For duty, 2 ; si*-k, 1 ; total, 6. Total last report, 2 ; gain, 1. Remarks:—One from duty to sick ; one recruit from depot. It is a girl; weighs 8 lbs. 9 oz. Auction Salks. —It will be seen by an advertisement in another column, that Heyward A Sons intend having regular sale days hereafter. These gentlemen are per fectly responsible, and consignors may feel secure in having their interest subserved by entrusting business to their care. Theatre. — “Ten Nights in a Bat- Room,” which was received with such un bounded applause on Monday night last, will be repeated by particular request this evening. It is from the great moral story of that name by the popular author, T. S. Arthur. To-morrow evening, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Boswell will take a benefit. Sundries. —W. Henrv Warren adver tises a list of good things and useful articles in another column. Look over it, and if you want any of them go andsee Mr. Warren and supply yourself. You will find him at 175 and 171 Broad street. Money Saved is Money Made.— That is what Davidson A Cos , 210 Broad street, say ; and to verify it, we advise our readers in want of lamps and kerosene oil to give them a trial. Tenant and Boarders Wanted.— See the advertisement under this head, and if it applies to you, reader, apply at this office for further particulars. Free Lunch. —Don’t forget the free lunch at the St. Nicholas, at 11 o’clock to day. Something good on band. —By different nations, every day in the week is set apart for public worship. Sunday, by the Christians; Monday, by the Grecians : Tuesday, by the Persians; Wednesday, by the Assyrians; Thurs day, by the Egyptians; Friday, by the Turks, and Saturday by the Jews. Add the fact of the diurnrl revolution of the earth, giving every variation of longitude a different hour, and it becomes appa rent that every moment is Sunday some where. —At Binghampton, last week, one Catharine Mc-Dougal stole from L.

Catharine doubtless intended to make her waterfall both useful and orna mental. New Books. Tht Vrttite <tf t*« Alabama and tk» Sumter, From the private journals and other papers of Commandsr R. Semraes, C. S. N., and other Officer*. Two volume* in une. New York, Carloton, Publisher, 413 Broadway ; Loudon, Saunders Otley A Cos., 1864. We are indebted to Messrs Quinn Bros., for a copy of this work. It is compiled from the private journals and other papers of Captain Seiumes and other officers of tbo Alabama and Sumter, and is a highly inter esting narrative of the exploits of these two renowned vessels. Anything of a historical character, con cerning the late war must be read with gen eral interest ; but any information concern ing the Navy of the late Confederate States (“so called”) will he sought after with more avidity, wc should think, by the Southern people, at least, as they were able to glean but very meagre particulars concerning their vessels during the war. The work before us will meet this desire in a measure, as it appears to be a tolerably full and accu rate account of the career of the two most renowned Confederate cruisers. It is well written, neatly printed and substantially bound; aad can bo purchased at the Lite rary Depot of Messrs Quinn Bros. It will repay a perusal, and servo as a book for future reference.

These four circum stances comprehend the whole mystery of keeping horses’ legs fine, and their feet in sound working condition up to old age. —A reverend sportsman was once boasting of his infallible skill in finding a hare. “If” said a Quaker, who was present, “I were a hare, I would take my seat in a place where I should be sure of not being disturbed by tbee from the first of January to the last of De cember.” “Why, where would you go ?” “Into thy study. ’ —An impudent burglar in New York carrying oft' some plunder, dropped a package in the street.

JAS T BOTHWELL, A P ROBERTSON, mh2—td JOHN U MEYER. Soothers Medical & Surgical JOTcrrusrA.x. j Third series— EDITED BY JOBEPH JUNKS, M. I). Professor of Medical ChtmUtry in the Medical College of Georgia , at Augusta; and formerly Surgeon in the J\ovi»ional Army of the Confederate States. The SOUTHERN MEDICAL ami SUR GICAL JOURNAL, 6f Augusta, Georgia, was established iu 1836, by the late Professor Milton Antony, the illustrious founder of the Medical College of Georgia, and has al ways commanded the respect and patronage of the Profession, not only as one of the oldest and largest American Periodicals, but chiefly by those valuable original com muoicatiois, contributed by the most emi nent, scientific men and practitioners of tho Southern States, which have enriched its pages during the past thirty years. The volumes already issued, embrace over six teen thousaud \losely printed pages, con taining more than six hundred original communications from professional men throughout the Southern States, besides an immeuse number of valuable articles, select ed from its ample list of American and foreign exchanges. During the recent civil war, thq publica tion of the SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL was necessarily sus pended. At the close of a bloody and dis astrous war, which has ended in the destruc tion and surrender of the Southern armies, and in the destruction aud capture of the archives of the Confederate Government, and of the immense stores of medical facts and observations accumulated by the Medical Officers of the Confederate Army, under the direction of their intelligent and efficient Surgeon General, it is believed by medical meu of the highest standing in this section of the South, that it is important to estab lish at this time a Medical Periodical of sufficient size to furnish ample room for the publication of the valuable experience of the Medical Officers of the late Confederate Anuy. It will be the earnest effort of the Editor to sustain the former usefulness of this Journal as a medium for the communica tion of the discoveries and advancing doc trines of science and of all the departments of Medicine, and of the facts and discove ries tending to develop the material pros perity of the South, and especially of the valuable Medical statistics and observations of the recent disastrous revolution. In view of the good accomplished in times past by the publication of the SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL, the Editor feels no hesitation in urging its claims unon its former patrons and friends. The SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SUR GICAL JOURNAL will be issued every TWO MONTHS, commencing Ist of July, 1866, and each number will contain ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX PAGES of printed matter, (octavo); tho yearly publication will therefore number Oue Thousand and Fifty-six pages, and be equal in size tb the largest American and Euro pean Journals.
