I have been honored with an nr.
ennre of fome observationson the Comet, now
vtftbit to iis, feegtia by Mr. Pendent Meigs, of
the Unbcrfity cf Georgia, on the 25th Septem
p.V; ISO 7, and intended to be continued while
pradticabie.
; * From the gfiodpefs of the muniments, and
the accuracy,of the nbferver, we have reafcq to
esTfift, in. tune, Tome intereifeng particulars re
litwe to this utereftmg Phenomenon ; which
’ js probably the jeventv-ihi.'d of the kind occa
fioniiy approach t ng oar iun, from tire mierllel-
Jarv regions.

On the Sd of this month (OSober) the

The Students under his direction, who real
ly excel in the Mathematical faiences, have now
a fine opportunity cf accomplifning themselves
jn the higher parts of Astronomy ; as they al
ready have in a knowledge of cur folarfyllem.
“it is to be regretted that our youth, who
go to feme northern Colleges for education, re
turn with a {canty supply of feience ; owing to
an injudicious application of much of their time
to history and ethics, whkh may be itudiedas
well at home, as in a college.
To this may be attributed, probably, the
superior information in the faiences, of tae young
gentlemen who ftucty at our own Uuiverfi.y,
over those who visit notheni Colleges, where the
plan cf education is indeed less tsoublt&a*. to
the Prefideut and Frofcffors, butnudi lets bene
ficial to the Students.

Two gentlemen, who were deputed from the
State of Ohio, to visit the Indian nations, and to
4kcover if their intentions were hostile, have re

ted, declared in their solemn meetings, that if
their white brethren are going to war, their red
brethren are determined to interfere in no way,
but to fit Hill, and mind their own concerns—

COMMUNICATION.
DIED, in this city, on the 18th instant,
Mr. JOHN MILLER, (brother to Jpfeph
Miller, Esq.) a native of Cumberland, in Eng
land.
It i* not tmufual to pauegyrife the dead,
whether they polfefsed great vices or great vir
tues. There is a common-place language which
is used on all occasions, and which is never con
troverted, because it has its lburee in the .r.olL
I amiable prtaicipka of the human hetrt. But in
speaking of the merits or virtues oi John Mil
ler, it is not necessary to ic-fert to any other lan
guage than that which truth and candor might
diftate. During his short refidenee in. this state
he difeovered a probity—a goodness of heart, &
an unreservedness in his general deportment which
conciliated the friendfhip of every one with
whom he became acquainted, and he was dis
tinguiihed by the fame traits of character in hi3
native country. He had no vices. He difeov.
ered no fears during his {hort illness, and he
died with the resignation an coinpofute of a man
who had every thing to hope for and nothing to
dread at the tribunal of his God, He was 43
years of age, and he lias left behind him, in
England, a father, a wife and children, to de
plore his loss. The mamory cf this honed
EnglUhman, will always be revered by his friends
in this irate.
DIED, in this city, on Friday Evening
last, Mr. FRIEDRICH. HOTZEN, a na
live of Hanover, Germany, aged 23 years.
ONE j olin Bransby, Pilot,
has advertised me as a Deserter. Now I beg
leave to inform this man, tiiat he may find me in
every dire&ion of this city. 1 neither
conceal myfelf, noi does any person conceal or
harbor we. I left Bransby in consequence of his
brutal treatment towards me, for which he has
been arrefied, and bound over to appear at the
next Superior Court, to a a bill of iubidbrient.
