OBOR'-U WHITE OAK LUMBER COM
PANY.
Mr. Butts informs pa that nil the machine y
and npp'iancosfor this enterprise, selected at
the NortlAviiii much fare nnd reoearcli, Imv-
arrived, and are Daw on board the boat, and
in ft abort time will be ready for operation.
The scheme oi this company, it appears to
ns, is one of the most reasonable and promts
jng in the world. It is, in brief, to attack
from the water S'de those vast forests of
■white oak and other valuable timber which
cover our river b >ttoms and are inacctssible
from the landward side, except at vast in
convenience and expense. An ample boat,
carrying an effective steam saw-tnil', witli a
full corps of hands and the appliances fo>
felling timber will operate upon the river
and selecting the titnlter and cutting it into
marketable shape will fl tat it in flats or
scows down to the seaboard, where it can In
put directly on the vessel and shipped north
ward at bare freighting expenses.
White oak staves and ship timber are de
signed to be the main pmphiea of this en
terprise, and the margin between the whole
sale value of these articles in New York an<t
any probable cost of getting them ont and
shipping them trom the Oemulgee is so grea-
a3 to promise a business affording large
profits.
White oak on the Northern Atlantic coast
!s now scarce and high. It is brought from
great distances with increasing cost even
year. But the plan of this company is to
avail themselves of a supply as yet untouch
ed and almost inexhaustible, and to conviy
it to market without a foot of land transpor
tation. We are sure that, if prosecuted with
energy and economy, it is a business which
must command success; and every navigable
Stream in Georgia affords an abundant field
for the extension of the trade. The immense
forests skirting the Savannah river profler a
Wonderful supply to hardy lumber men by
the adoption of this method of timber-get
ting.
Central Railroad Connection with
Madison.—We are informed that the Cen
tral Railroad contemplates an early extension
of their line from Eatonton, in Putnam coun
ty, northward twenty one miles to the town
of Madison, in Morgan county, which is od
the main line of the Georgia Road. This
will give not only the northern part of Put
nam and Morgan county the choice of an
outlet for their produce, by way of Savan
nab or Charleston, but extend the same fa
cility to several other counties along the line
of the Georgia Road. The Georgia railroads
are now displaying a great deal of enterprise
and activity.
Cultivating Cotton in Hills.—The
Chronicle and Sentinel says that a tract ot
five acres of land in Bullock county, was pre
pared this year by thorough ploughing, to
the depth of 15 ioches, enriched by the ap
plication of 2500 pounds—500 pounds to the
acre—of a mixture of Peruvian guano and,
phosphates. The hill system of planting was
adopted, and the yield was fifteen bales ot
clean, beautiful cotton, and fine quality, each
bale weighing 500 pounds.

Grant’s Administration—So mote it be.
We saw day-belore yesterday a private letter
from a gentleman in high political position,
and a warm personal and political friend of
Gen. Grant. It asserted, if the South was
qqiet and opposed no fractions opposition
Gen. Graut would give her a liberal, concili
atory administration, which would satisfy all
reasonable men.
Vote of Louisiana.—Returns from all tha
parishes except one show for Seymour 81,742
votes and for Grant 26,552—Seymour’s ma
jority 54,190. These figures are very embar
rassing to the Radicals of that State. At first
they called the election a farce, because, as
they declared, the “loyal voters refused to go
to the polls.” But when it became manifest
that more than a majority of the registered
voters had voted for Seymour, they changed
the note and declared it the “result of bribery
and intimidation.”
An Odd Idea.—The papers are boasting
that the election of Gen. Grant will bring an
early return to specie payment. It seems to
us an odd idea that the country can pay five
hundred millions taxes annually, which is
about the amount of her specie, and maintain
a specie paying circulation.
The Democratic Majority in Georgia.
The. Atlanta Era says the great trouble seems
to be that the Democratic majority in Geor
gia is too big. It it troublesome to some
people. There is no explaining it away.
Nothing else can be made of it, than what
it is.
Snow.—There was an all-day snow storm
at Omaha, on the Pacific Railroad, on Tues
day, and communication from the West was
ent off Trains from the East arrived there.
Such an early blocking up of the Union Pa
cific Railroad as this is unpromising.
Immigration in^o Tennessee.—The Nash
ville Banner says the destination of the 495
emigrants who passed through Columbus,
Ohio, during the week ending last Saturday
were as follows: Ohio87, Missouri 104, Illi
nois 116. Indiana 68, Kentucky 43, Wiscon
sin 33, Michigan 27, Tennessee 182.
Gen. J. E. Johnston and Gov. Jenkins were
in Savannah on the 18th.
But let us look at Georgia as she stands,
with her inviting person, and asks for sons
to rest upon her bosom.—Milledgeville Re
corder.
Georgia wss christened in 1732, and is too
old “ for sons to rest upon her bosom.”

remainder.
New Yobk Election.—Official returns
from all the counties but two, show that the
total vote in New York foots up 848.278. of
which 419, 556 are for Grant, and 428.722 for
Seymour—Seymour’s majority 9.166; Hoff

GEORGIA—XVIIAT SHE IS AND CAN BE
From an interesting articlein the Southern
R-eoriler,under this head, we take the follow
ing paragraph:
‘•Georiris has 5S 000 t-qnare miles of territory

Georgia has already “a good, sober and
industrious population,” but it is not large
enough. In old slavery times, only one-sixth
of lu r ample area was improved by the hand
■f tillage, ami ju->t now we suppose that not
more than a uinth of the State is under even
the unsystematic and wasteful cultivation
which is too common in our State. ‘Of our
thirty-seven millions of acres, ot which up
wards of six millions were in. cultivation at
die last census, we suppose that less than
wn millions, with moderately good culture,
•light to produce the present crops of Georgia.
The State has probably less waste land
ban almost any other similar area on the
-ontinent; and much which is now considered
wa-de will, at no very distant day. produce
more than all the arable land in Georgia
does at this time. We refer to our river bot
toms which are easily susceptible of dyking,
r«ke for illustration, tb« bottoms of the
dsvannah, which are oi immense wealth and
Covered with timber which would more than
osy the expense of leveeing, as they call it in
Louisiana. These can he very easily dyked
from bluff to bluff, so as to give a large
irearage as fertile as the Mississippi bottoms,
and bring nearly as much produce, perhaps,
as the whole State now does.
Counting the population of Georgia at
about a million, we have one to every thirty
seven acres—or say about seventeen to the
square mile. Now the population per square
mile in the poorest of the German States is
130. In England it is 332. In France 180,
In Massachusetts 137. In New York 70. In
Ohio 50. There is neither of these countries
which can sustain a denser population to the
t-quure mile than Georgia—but give us fifty
aud our population would be about three
millions.
The climatic conditions of Georgia are bet
ter suited to induce and accommodate
large population tjian those of any other
State in the Union. We have within our
vast area all the modifications between tem
perate and tropical latitudes. Northern
Georgia produces all the fruits, grasses, etc.
of the Northern and Middle States in a de
gree of perfection limited only by the care
and attention bestowed on them—the same
intelligent labor producing a better fruit of
the description than it will do in those
rougher climates. Our Southern extremity
will produce the sugar cane, orange, olive,
fig and other fruits and productions of the
tropics. Middle Georgia is the home of the
vine, the peach, the melon and the whole
vast tribe of fruits and products which shun
extremes of heat and cold, or very short or
very long summer seasons. The range of its
productions is unexcelled by any land under
the sun, and the variety of soil to be found
here i3 equal to the variety of the products,
Regarded in all its aspects few countries
on earth arc so well adapted, as Georgia, to
approximate an independent self-supplying
condition. In our youDg days, it used to be
said of the planters of Thomas that they
bought only salt, iron and coffee; and they
need not have gone out of Georgia to have
supplied themselves with two articles in the
triad. Almost every element of self supply
abounds in Georgia; for the agricultural
wealth of the State does not excel its miner
al resources, and to aid in reducing both to
the service and sustenance of man, there is
hardly a county in Georgia that does not
ubound in water power.
Superadded to all her natural advantages
and resources is our system of railways, which
is the most perfect and philosophical U> be
found in the Union. With existing tracks,
and those which will he completed in a few
months, nearly every square mile of this vast
and fruitful area will be in easy and rapid
communication with all the great marts of
trade on the Atlantic coast. Georgia, there
fore, presents to immigrants the facilities and
conveniences of an old country, with all the
advantages of a new one. Land is as cheap
here as on the Western frontiers, beyond the
boundaries of civilization; while in every
thing which makes land desirable and valu
able to the settler it presents most of the ad
vantages offered by the old States of the
Union.
The Colored Voters in Wilkes.—The
Washington (Wilkes county) Gazette says:
“The result of tue late election of Wilkes
county develops the fact that a majority of
the registered black voters of the county, at
least seven hundred in number, voted with
the white people. And the remaining six
hundred, with very few exceptions, declined
to vote at all, many of them stating only
that they would cease to act a part against
the white people in the matter of which they
knew nothing.”
Sensible people those; and the Gazette
properly calls upon the whites to respond
liberally to this spirit—to make generous
contracts—to protect the colored people in
all their rights and privileges, and to hold
their happiness and welfare as a sacred trust.
That is right, amtaliat Is the spirit in which
every Georgia community should respond to
every indication of a desire among the col
ored people to resume their ancient relations
of confidence and amity with the Southern
whites.
Terrible Stobm in Mexico.—San Fran
cisco dispatches of the 17th say that a terri
ble wind and rain storm raged over Mexico
from October 15th to the 18th, doing im
mense damage and causing great suffering
and loss of life. The city of Alamas, State of
Sonora, having a population of 7000, was
destroyed by the flood and whirlwind. Lo-
rello, Lower California, and several other
small towns, were entirely demolished. Herds
of cattle were swept away. Orange groves
and crops were totally destroyed. Yugai and
Mayo rivers rose forty feet.
The Lonisville Democrat has been sold to
Messrs. John E. Hatcher and W. H. Perrin,
late of the Louisville Journal. Its political
character will remain unchanged.
Mayoralty of Atlanta.—The Democrats
of Atlanta have nominated Wm. H. Hulsey
as their candidate for Mayor. The nomina
tion was made by a vote of the party, Mr.
Hulsey receiving 635 votes, J. E. Rawson 379,
and James M. Calhoun 54.
The Garsed-Metcalf Cotton Case.
This important case, involving about two
millions of dollars, came up before the United
Siatis.Circuit Court at Savannah, on Friday
last. Although most of our readers are ac
quainti-d witli the fac s of the .case, still
the following resume may not prove unin
teresting :
In June, 1865, John Garsed, of Phila
delphia, claims to have received, through
Mr. George Schley, an offer of about nine
thousand bales of cotton in the joint posses
sion of J. & Wm. A. Beall and hims-lt for 20
cents per pound. Garsed, not having the
funds at that time, asked until the 6tli of
July to consider the matter, and alleges that
Metcalf consented to let the trade remain
open till that time. Bat this the latter denies
Garsed went to Philadelphia under this im
pression. A few days afterward Schley spoke
ro Metcalf of the contract which he. as M.V
agent, had signed and di livered to Garsed
Metcalt immediately denied having author
ized Schley to keep open the contract until
the 6tli; that he had only told him he would
take 20c\ cash for it. Schley then telegraphed
Garsed of this fact, but the message was de
layed and did not reach Philadelphia till the
7th, a duy after Garsed bad raised money and
telegraphed Schley to take the cotton. On re
ceiving this telegram Garsed came to Augusta
and app'ied to Provost Marshal Grosnevor for
relief. The latter issued orders turning over
the cotton to Garsed, Metcalf and the Bealls
to receive the stipulated price. Metcalf of
fered Grosvenor and Garsed $200 000 to com
promise the matter and was arrested by the
former for trying to bribe an U. S. officer,
and, whilst under urrest, signed an agreement,
not to take any further action in the matter
and was discharged. The Bealls then filed a
hill in equity in the Superior Court, obtained
an injunction and also an order lrom Wash
ington turning over the cotton to Metcalf.
In the bill Metcalf was made co-defendant
with Garsed and Schley. The Bealls, after
the delivery of the cotton, dismissed their
bill, while Garsed moved to reinstate the case,
as he wanted a decision on its merits. Judge
Reese decided that, though the complainants
had dismissed their bill, Garsed bad not
dismissed his answer, and there was a .case
before him. The case was brought before
Judge Erskine, in the United States Court
last spring, who decided there was a case in
Court, but nothing was laid as to its merits
and the defendants had a right to demur.
On the case being opened on Friday, the bill
filed by the Bealls was read, then the answers
of Schley and Garsed, and Sletcalf. Mr. Hill,
for the Bealls, at first contended there was no
case before the Court, but finally admitted
there was and commenced his argument on
the demurrer to the bill. On Saturday Mr.
Hill concluded his argument, and wo? fol
lowed by Judge Gould, for Metcalf. Hon.
Linton Stephens replied on behalf of Garsed.
The Court overruled the demurrer, and the
case will come up for phading on its merits
on the 30th of this month. At that time we
will endeavor to keep our readers posted as
to further proceedings.—Chronicle and Sen
tinel.
Wholesale Butchery by a Negro.
From the HaynesvillctAla.) Examiner,Nov. 12.]
We are informed that about a week ago a
ferry on Conecuh River, near the line of Cren
shaw and Pike, was the scene of a terrible
tragedy. We did not hear the names of the
parties, but the facts are to the following
effect:
A white man and his wife, whom the
negro ferryman suspected of having money
about them, were at the river for the
purpose of crossing. He killed both and
then threw their bodies into the river.
The negro then went to a house a short die
tance from the ferry, where there was a little
white girl. He thought she suspected him
of the crime, and was pursuing her when be
was interrupted by a white man who rode up.
This man he killed and threw into a well.
He then killed the little girl and threw her
remains into the river. A brother-in-law of
the last man killed was attracted by the
howling of the faithful dog of his relative,
and gathering several neighbors, went in
pursuit of the ferrymen. The latter had
seized a horse and fled. He was overtaken
that night and banged at once.
THE iTSI.TLOHS.
A NIGHT OF CELESTIAL PYROTECHNICS—THE
DISPLAY WITNI-SSED IN ALL PARTS OF THE
UNITED STATES—REPORT OF THE SUPER
INTENDENT OF TIIE NAVAL OBSERVATORY—
METEORIC SHOWER OBSERVED IN ENGLAND.
The great meteoric display witnessed here
Friday night was observed throughout the
United States and the world. The New York
Herald, of Sunday morning, says:
About 11 o’clock, on Friday night, several
shooting stars were visible here, but none
wns large or brilliant enough to draw more
than a passing notice. The only remurkablt-
featurein the heavens was the frequency and
rapidity of these ao-t ailed ‘•shooting stars.”
Towards midnight, however, many large and
brilliant bodies were seen traversing the heav
ens, often in opposite directions. ' Those
whose memory recalled the date of tho last
and its previous yeurs’ meteoric displays at
once suspected the possibility or probability
of a fine heavenly show. Such as had the
patience and endurance to keep a wake on
the heavens all night must now feel grateful
that the brilliant sight did not escape their
eyes. For the cause of science it will be well
if these who viewed the heavenly display of
November 13 14,1868, will give scientific and
professional men an accurate and unt-nthus
iastic recital of what they witnessed.
As seen from the top of the Herald build
ing. the inest sights were from one o’« lock
on Saturday morning until thirty five min
utes after; again, from ten minutes past two
o’clock until twenty minutes of three; from
half-past t'jreo until four o’clock, and from
five until ihortly after dawn. Three very
large and bright meteors, however, crossed
the heavens from the direction of east north
east, but neatly overhead, at ten minutes past
six A. M. Neither exploded, but appeared
about the size <fi. and similar to ship lights.!
They left no trail, and died out as suddenly
as an ordinary light blown out by a puff.
Although seen to rise at all points ot the
horizon and direct their course earthwards,
the great majority started from the north
east. The general focus appeared to be at an
angle of fifteen degrees above the horizon,
about one, A. M., on Saturday. This focus
seemed lo rise towards the zenith—very like
the movement of the bodies in the plauetary
system—until at dawn the focus seemed al
most overhead. Although no compass was
at hand and the polar star was dimmed by
the brilliancy of a northern light that seemed
to hug the horizon, still the observations
made of several among the most brilliant
meteors settles the fact that the general focus
was due northeast. Several directed their
course towards the observer here; some fell
short, others passed over to the southeast, and
not a few exploded overhead.
One remarkable meteor, at twenty minutes
past one in tho morning, arose in the north
east, as learned from the trail and explosion.
It crossed the heavens towards the southwest
and exploded overhead. The flash was very
brilliant, but short-lived; still the observer
could distinctly read the figures on a watch’s
brass dial plate and see minute objects on the
roof. The meteor in its descent looked like
a rocket stick on fire amidst the long cloud
of smoke. The fire died out when at about
thirty-five degrees altitude; but the cloud
remained immovable by the wind and grad
ually sauk until it was dissipated near the
horizon. From tho extinguishment of the
meteor until tho smoke or cloud dissipated a
space of twenty-two minutes elapsed. The
weight of the cloud or what seemed smoke,
was too remarkable to be left unnoticed in
tho account of Saturday morning’s display.
In its descending course, this same meteor
described the figure of an S. and was the
most beautiful aerolite of the whole night.
As viewed from an elevation commanding
a full sight of the horizon, the fall of meteors
looked like a universal display of fireworks
on the grandest scale. The swiftness, great
ness and brightness of these meteors, how
ever, would leave pyrotechny in a dark shade.
As contrasted with last year’s shower, this
year’s was less numerous but far more bril
liant.
The Tobacco Trade of Iroulsvllle.
Louisville, Ky., is the largest inland tobac
co market in the United States, and the mag
nitude of its trade in that line is shown by
the report at the close of the tobacco year
on November 1. In the city arc four large
receiving warehouses, each covering about a
quarter of a block, besides a great number
of stemming and drying establishments and
cigar and ping tobacco manutactories. The
stemming and redrying establishments alone
employ over $1,000,000 of capital, which is
being vastly increased.
Mr. P. Lorillard, the largest tobacco man
ufacturer in the United States, and perhaps
in the world, is now putting up a mammoth
establishment there. The aggregate amount
of tobacco sold from the four receiving ware
houses during the year which has just closed
was 295, 508 hogsheads, representing an ag
gregate value of $3,686,637. For 1867 the
amount was 39,542 hogsheads, to the value
ot $4,429,758, and for 1868 the amount was
37,353 hogsheads, to the value of $4,379,802.
The new crop of tobacco promises to be a
large one, and the sales the coming year,
it is estimated, will reach from 50,000 to CO,-
000 hogsheads, the largest of any previous
year. The value of these immense sales will
be fully $6,000,000.
The Popular Vote for the Presi
dency.
The New York World (says the Columbus
Enquirer) makes the following estimate of the
topular vote in the late Presidential election,
[t is not correct so far as “ the Southern
States voting in 1868” are concerned. In
these States tho Democratic majority in
Georgia and Louisiana is over 100,000, and
the Radical majority in tha balance will not
amount to 30,000. So the majority in the
“reconstructed” States is fully 70.000 for
Seymour, instead of 12,457, as estimated by
the World:
Seymour. Grant.
Northern States voting in 1863 £235.929 2,6*7,000
Southern States voting in 1868 444,976 435.639

Wednesday, at Andover, Ohio, will leave

arriving here on Thursday or Friday, and

heretofore occupied by Mr. Colfax, opposite
Lafayette square.
A DEMOCRAT UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
A few nights since a small party wtregath
ered in Gen. Grant’s parlor, and among them
Mr. Dent, his father in-law, who lives in Mis
souri. Some one asked how Missouri had
voted. The old man said, “ She gives Grant
ten thousand majority, bnt I’ll be d—d if be
got my vote!” The General himself roared
with laughter at the reply. Mr. Dent is justly
proud ot bis Democracy.—Special* to the
Louisville Courier Journal.
Gen. Lee and the Insurance Agency.—
The Lynchbnrg Virginian says:
We published a statement yesterday that
General R. E. Lee had been tendered the po
sition of “supervisor of agencies” of the
Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company for
the South, with a salary of $10,000 We
saw last night the letter making the propo
sition to him. It was in the possession of
Mr. T. L. Alfriend, of Richmond, one of the
agents of the company for Virginia, who
was conveying it to the General. The letter
intimates that if the amount offered is not
satisfactory, it will be increased.
A London letter says: The Rev. Henry
John Pye, Rector of Clifton Campville, Staf
fordshire, and Prebendary of Hansacre, in
Litchfield Cathedral, which livings are worth
£950 a year, has, with his wit*-, who is the
only daughter of the Bishop of Oxford, gone
over to the Roman Catholic Church. The
Bishop has been plnDged into great grief by
the step thus taken by Ms daughter and son-

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE
NAVAL OBSERVATORY AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, Nov. 14, 1868.—The follow
ing is the official report from Commodore
Sands, Superintendent of the Naval Observa
tory, in regard to the recent meteoric showers,
received at the Navy Department this after
noon :
United States Naval Observatory, Washing
ton, Nov. 14,1868.—Sir: I have the honor to
submit the following preliminary report of
the meteoric shower of this morning:
During the evening of the 13jb in3t. there
were no greater number of meteors to be seen
than are usually observed on clear nights until
about eleven p. m., when there seemed to be
an increase in the numbers and brilliancy,
though not sufficient to indicate the beginning
of a shower. At midnight the number had
considerably increased, and the prevalence ot
trains was generally noted. At thirty-five
minutes past midnight the observing party,
consisting of Professor Eastman and Messrs.
Harrison, Frisby and Hays, began to couDt
the meteors, and to plat the tracks of the
principal ones that appeared in that portion
of the heavens covered by the star chart con
structed at the Observatory in 1867. At one
hour thirty-five minutes a. m. 300 meteors
bad been counted, most of them quite bril
liant, and nearly all of them leaving green,
blue or red trains. Thus far the display had
not been confined to any portion of the sky;
but most of them were in the northern
and southern heavens, and scarcely any
were in a position to be placed in
the star chart. Many of tho trains were
visible several minutes. One lasted ten min
ntes, and traces of one near B. Ursa Minoris
were seen thirty minutes after the appearance
of the meteor. After one hour and fifty min
utes Professor Eastman, assisted by Mr. Har
rison, devoted bis time to mapping and then
rating the time of apparition of the principal
meteors,and succeeded in sketching the tracks
of about ninety. During one hour and forty
three minutes four hundred had been counted,
and afterwards the successive hundreds were
observed in the following intervals. [The in
tervala are here given by Commodore Sands.]
The observations were continued until six a.
m., at which time there had been counted
five thousand and seventy-eight. At two hours
and twenty minutes A. m. Professor Nones and
son joined the party of observers, and assisted
in counting the meteors in the western heav
ens. Daring the whole display there were many
meteors seeD in the west, but from four
o’clock to five the numbers were about equal
in the east and west. The time of maximus fre
quency of the meteors was about five hours,
when they fell at the rate of about 2.500 per
hour. The radiaot point was quite well de
fined during the latter end of the shower and
was fonnd by estimation to be about 149 de
grees in right ascension and twenty two min
utes and thirty seconds in declination. The
trains were unusually brilliant, presenting the
various shades of green orange, blue and red,
aud remaining visible for an unusual length of
time. Frequency as many as five could be
seen at once, presenting an appearance when
nearly dissipated of light, cirrus clouds. The
shower commenced several hours before it
was expected, as it was predicted last year
that it would be seen in 1868 in the Pacific
Ocean only. A number of star charts were
distributed a few days 8go to the various ob
servatories and scientific men of the country,
and it is believed that many valuable obser
vations have been made, of which we shall
soon learn.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
B. F. Sands,
Commodore and Superintendent.
THE METEORIC SHOWER AT TROY, N. Y.
Troy, Nov. 14,1868.—Nature has for once
liberally fulfilled the expectations of man
kind, especially that portion denominated
star-gazers. Oflate years, from time to time,
astronomers have predicted a glorious dis
play of celestial .pyrotechnics, butalmoBtas
often, with a few rare exceptions, have ‘he
fond public been wheedled into keeping late
hours, (and eaily ones too,) all to little if any
purpose. This year no really definite predic
tion was made, and a quiet expectation only
lumipous, eliginr, att ractive and soul satisfy
ing display took place last night in the heav
ens bounding this region of country. Thiisi-
who rctin-d early last evenintr hereabouts
certainly missed a most glorious eiuiit,/br at
eleven o’clock a solitary'meteor, starting from
the consti il.ition Leo', shot swiftly acro-s the
heavens in a westerly direction, passing be
tween the stars Alinth and Urrzar of tin- con
stellution Uiza Major, in a plane parallel to
that of tile horizon. • This meteor leit a mug
mficent greenish train behind it, and on ex
phuiiug presented a charming golden appear
ance.
This delightful inauguration of the bill ol
the evening was quickly followed by several
less brilliant stars and meteors that traversed
the same path. Then branching out lrom
the same constellation went stars of ev*tv
description, wildly shooting to almost every
point ot the compass. From eleven p M jo
two oclock this morning nine hundred me
teors were counted from the-temporary ob
servatory.of tbe Renseilaer Polytech i - Insti
Hite of this city, and among them several
large and very brilliant meteors were ob.
served by Mr. Barry of that school of science.
One of these impres-ivo and grand meteors
in particular took a Southwesterly direction,
passing near E'a, of the constellation Leo,
and midway between thecons'ellations Orion
and Cairris Major, where it exploded with a
purple light, its imperial train remaining
visible for several minutes, the latter being
of a greenish, blue tint, soon changing to a
white cloud assuming a rugged outline. The
night was dark, and everything was favora
ble to the august display of the skies, which
was witnessed by tbouaands of deeply iuter
ested spectators in all this section, my nd
vices covering an extent ot country from Mon
treal to Albany.
THE DISPLAY AT POUGHKEEPSIE
Poughkeepsie, Nov. 14,1868.—The dis
play ot meteors here last night was very fine
Acloudles3 sky gave ample opportunity to
view them. One magnificent meteor lasted
several minutes. It represented a ball of fire
as large as a man’s head, with a trail of great
length and width.
THE DISPLAY IN CONNECTICUT.
Hartford, Nov. 14, 1868.—A splendid
meteoric display was witnessed here just
after midnight. Four observers counted
over three hundred, at the rate oi over ten a
minute. Some of them were very brilliant,
and left long trails behind them lasting h
minute or more. The display increased in
the number aud brilliancy ot the meteors
after 1 o’clock, a. m.
METEORIC SHOWER.
From the New Haven Journal, Nov. 14.3
True to prediction, the meteoric shower
came to time last might, and althougn inferior
in numbers, in brilliancy the shooting stars
far exceeded those during the great shower
last year. The sky was cloudless,Jand the ab
sence of the moon made tho display appear
the most imposing possible. Interested star
gazers posted themselves on commanding po
sitions, and all who had occasion to be on
the streets after midnight were delighted ob
servers of the exhibition of celestial pyro
technics. The meteors would shoot in all di
rections nearly across tho heavens, burst in
many cases like rockets, leaving the most
brilliant tails of light behind them. A party
of students were stationed on the tower ot
the Scientific School, while Professor Newton
and twelve juniors kept watch from the top
of Alumni Hall. From the latter party we
learn that from midnight during the first
half hour about 200 were counted, but during
the next hour 937 were discovered and re
corded.

From the Worcester Spy, Nov. 14.]
The most extensive meteoric shower seen
in this vicinity for years, occurred last night
and this morning. At midnight the eye
could hardly be directed to any part of the
heavens without discerning one or more biil
liant trains. The general point of radiation
seemed to be in the northeast, but the mete
ors moved in almost every direction, but gen
erally duo south or due west from the point
ot radiation. Most of them were of a fiery
red color, and in moving across the sky left
long trains of pale green light, some of
which were visible for one or two minutes.
The meteors were universally bright, many
appearing equal in brilliancy to the brightest
planet. The condition of the atmosphere
was singularly favorable for witnessing the
display in its full glory, and the spectacle
was richly worth watching many a long night
to witness.
THE DISPLAY IN VIRGINIA.

Fortress Monroe, Nov. 14.—There was

west, and were similar to sky rockets. The
passengers on the Norfolk boat discovered
them about half-past one o’clock off the Po
tomac, and they were so brilliant they could
see to read papers.
BRILLIANT DISPLAY OBSERVED IN NORTH
CAROLINA.
Raleigh, Nov. 14, 1868.—About eleven
o’clock last night shooting meteors were ob
served in the heavens to the southeast. They
at first appeared at intervals, but towards
morning perfect showers shot in every direc
tion, making a most brilliant and imposing
display. So bright and refulgent was the
light that many people were attracted from
their houses by its glare through their win
dows, and numbers remained up the entire
night to witness the phenomena, until shortly
after 4 a m., when it ceased. Some negroes,
more impregnated with African superstition
than astronomy, fell to praying upon seeing
the meteors, assured that the judgment day
was at band.
