That side of the moon which is timed from us, has a night of nearly fifteen days; the stars only, and planets, shine on its ever dark sky.— The Hide wcscp, on the contrary, knows no night; the night lights it up with never ceasing earth-«hine, a light fourteen times stronger than that which we receive from the rnoou. We re cognize our own light, lent to our friend, in the taint, gayish giiinmer of that poition of the moon which before and alter the new moon receives no light from the sun, but only from the earth, and reflects it back again upon us. Morning* in fall show it more brilliant than evenings in spring because in autumn the continents of the earth with their stronger light illuminate the moon, while in spring she only receives a fainter light from our oceans. Our orb appears to the Man in the Moon as changeable as his home to us, an I he might speak of the first or Inst quarter of the new earth and full earth. The whole Heaven moves before him once in 29 days ai. und its axis; the sun and stars rise and set regularly once i 1 the long day; but the vast orb of our earth is nearly immovable. All around is in unceasing motion; the mild face ofearth alone a gorgeous tnoon of immense magnitude, never sets nor rises, but remains ever fixed in the zenith. It there appears sixleen times lar.er than the moon to us, and daily exhibits its vast panorama of oceans, continents and islands. — Bright light and dark shadows are seen in ever varied change, land or waler, clearings of forests ap|>ear, new with every cloud or fog. and different at different seasons. The Man in the oon has thus not only his watch and his almanac daily before him in the everchanging face of the earth, but he may, for all we know, have maps of our globe which many a geographer would envy on account of their fullness and accurMK, Long before Columbus discovered America, iW Cook New Holland, our lunar neighbor knew most correctly the form and the outlines of the new continents. There was no new world lor him, and there is none left. He could tell us the se crets of the interior of Africa, end reveal to us the fearful mysteries ofthe Polar Seas, But how he on his side must marvel at our vast fields of snow, our volcanoes and tropical storms and tem pests—he who knows neither fire, nor now, snor clouds! What strange fables ho may have in vented to explain the shadows of our clouds as they chase each other over sea and land, and hide from him in an instant the sunlit landsciqie! And stranger still, on the side of the moon which is turned from the earth, he knows nothing at all about us, unle s news reach him from the happier side. Or he may undertake—the great event in his life—a long and painful journey to the bright half of his g obe; to stare at the won derously brilliant earth-star with its unread mys teries and marvelouschangci of fitting lights and shadows. Who knows what earnest prayers may arise from the moon, lull of thanks lor the floods of light and heat we pour upon them, or of ar dent wishes that their souls might hereafter be allowed to dwell in the bright homes of the beau teous star?— Putnam’s Monthly. Love, Babies, and Butchers’ Bills. Th ire is probably no business in which com mon sense is less heeded than in that of love.— The momenta girl begins to think of “orange blossoms,” that moment bids farewell to reason, and plunges into a sort of a lunacy, from which all the eloquence in the world cannot extricate her. Driving a balky horse is a pleasant business, and so is the attempt t > wean a jackass from thistles. But what are baulky horses and jack asses, compared to the “starkniess” of a girl who has “got the devil in her head,” because a young gentleman with hollow cheeks ai d bright blue continuations, gels upon the cellar door every night, and pours his love into her ear through the medium oi a four-and-nine-penny Hute I Nothing—absolutely nothing 1 Difficult as it is for a flesh cod to climb a greased liberty pole, with a kickiire boy in his mouth we should much sooner go about to look for such a phenomenon than to hunt up a girl with an inflamed heart, that would listen to “good advice,” or who could be made to believe, for one moment, that the en > joyments of the hymenial life depined at ah on lhe frequency of breed, or the price of butch er's meat. Even prodigals have those whom Cupid has inoculated with he virus of “beatific lunacy.” As they have no appetite while they are courting, they imagine that there demands foi corned beef and cabbage will always find a sub stitute in sighs and huggings. How they deceive ■ themselves! Although love is a boy of limited appetite, Hymen takes to roast beef like an Ai derman. But even grant that marriage, like courtship, could fueil on flutes and fatten on a nosegay, how will it be with the Harriets, Pe ters, Johns, and Matilda Janes, that are fated to spring from it! Will they, think you, feed on air and rest satisfied with sugared endearments! Far from it.

Thb Dabvxl Calculating Girl. —The Ayr Advertiser has an account of a recent public ex amination at Beith, ofthe little girl whose won derful powers of calculation have attracted so much notice. The gentleman in charge ol the child allowed any one present to propose ques tions to her. Among the queries thus submitted were; How many times does a clock etike in the month of June! 4,680 was the prompt reply. In tile year 1855? 56,940. In a litetime ot 75 years’ 4,270,500. She was now asked the value of 313 yards o’ linen, at 2s. I) 3-4 d. per yard, and in 35 seconds she gave the answer, £44 os. 3 3-3 d.

And the voice of that wayward song Is singing and saying still : ‘ A boy’s will is the wind’s will, And the thoughts ofyouth are long, long thoughts.’ I remember the bulwarks of the shore, And the fort upon the hill; The sunrise pun, with its hollow roar, The drum-beat repeated o’er and o’er, And the bugle wild and shrill; And the music of that old song Throbs in my memory still: ‘ A boy’s will is the wind’s will, And t Ire thoughts ofyouth are long, long thoughts.

Mt&ECRATioN.—We are credibly informed that in apolitical discussion, which took place at McDonough, on Monday, 28th nit., the Know Nothing speaker said that, Gov. James Jack son was “a monkey und a cat’s paw.” W e were not prepare! to - believe that the principles of the Dark Lantern order had so far corrupted the minds of its members as to lead them into such disrespect for the heroes and sages of our rev olutionary struggle, as the above language indi cates. True, Junies Jackson was a foreigner, born in England, and emigrated to- Georgia just before the commencement of the war of in dependence. Through the whole of that perilous contest, he exhited a heroic devotion to the cause of American freedom, inferior to none who took part in that- eventful struggle. No man en joyed to a greater extent the confidence and es teem of the people of Georgia, than he did. He was a member of the Legislature, Major Gen eral; memberof the convention that framed our present State Constitution, of which, it is said, lie wrote the greater part, Elector for President and Vice President, Governor, and Senator in Congress. Ile was mainly instrumental in pro curing the repeal of the iniquitous Yazoo Act, which repeal saved to Georgia that vast terri tory now composing the State of Alabama and Mississippi, which a corrupt Legislature had sold to a band of lawless speculators for a mere song. From our earliest recollection we have heard the name of James Jackson spoken of with reverence and affection by the people of Georgia, and never till 1855, after this sage and hero has shimberd in the peaceful and quite repose of the grave for half a century, and a new Order has sprung up among us, disre garding the true principles of American freedom ' have we heard such langage applied to one of the fathers of the Republic.

Trouble Ahead.—The New York Evening Mirror says :—The Abolition press is abusing J udge Katie. comparing him to his namesake, the inventor of murder! Ti e time has come when no man at the Nor can discharge his duty as a good citizen, either officially, edito rially, or even in the moat private capacity ; without being denounced by the fanatics in billingsgate superlatives.

Unquestionably they pressed forward early and vigorously to the polls, in order to be the first, if possible, and in this they were right. They had a perfect right to go, if they choose, to the polls at 12 o’clock on Sunday night, and remained there till the following morning.— They had a right to go at what time they pleased and in what numbers they could.— They had a right even to toss their friends over the heads of the crowd to the polls, as we are told they did in some few instances, though this was no doubt a violation of courtesy. They had a right to vote as fast as they could, pro vided they used no violence in pulling or thrust ing back their opponents from the polls, and we have not heard it alleged that they did this in a solitary instance.” Here the self-styled Americans were exercis ing their rights, and the reader can see what sort of right it was. The City Council had provid ed but one voting place in a Ward. Accord ing to the Journal, Americans took the polls in crowds, as they had a right todo; and the fact is, that all who had a yellow ticket could get through either at the front or back door.— The Americans voted with rapidity: and as soon as they were done did they leave? The Journal informs its readers what took place early in the afternoon at the First Ward. He is a good witness, against himself at least. Let him write on, and we shall prove the whole ; disgraceful story by himself. As soon as the voting ofthe K. N.’s vas over, there came the cry of arm in the Catholic church, and then came the yell down town that the Germans had taken the polls with guns. In the meantime, murderers and ruffians were knocking down foreigners on the streets, and spreading terror everywhere; and yet we are told that all could vote. A foreigner did not dare appear in the street, much less at the polls, amongst that crowd the editor had to address, who were ready to burn churches, and who showed them selves, at night, capable of murder and arson— capable of setting fire to houses, and killing the inmates if they attempted to retreat, thus burn ing np in their own houses men, women, and ■ children. Crowds of such characters at the ]M>lls, yelling for Sam, Marshall, and Prentice, for they recived him with acclamations, and yet we are told in horrid mockery that any one could vote that chose!! And now let us see how great are the crimes of foreigners. Let the facts, written in letters of blood, inform the world what sort of men filled the city on election day; and even the world will decide who were the aggressors. But foreigners resisted in some instances. Perhaps in terror of the mob they fired, pistols; what is to be thought of them? How the editor of the Journal appreciates their conduct appears in this: “We are assured upon good authority that Francis Quinn's, who was found dead in one of the blocks of burnt horses belonging to him, was seen a few days since with a double barrel ed shot gun and a supply of shot, which he said he had procured for use on the day of the elec tion. While his b ilding was burning there was a constant report of fire arms inside, the discharges being produced by the heat. These instruments of death had evidently been provid ed for dealing death to Americans. The ex plosions of powder whilst his houses were on fire showed that he had laid in a large quantity of ammunition. We deeply regret Mr. Quinn’s death, yet all the evidence proves that his blood is upon his own head.” This man Francis Quinn had been a citizen of Kentucky for twenty or thir y years. He had acquired a large property, and was a quiet, inoffensive old man. His property was attack ed in May last by the mob. He was threaten ed with still further violence. He told us then, he had rather that his property should go than the police should fire upon the mob, as they might kill thoughtless boys or innocent persons. His gray hairs were no protection. He was as sassinated and burned up in his own house. We do’nt believe a word of the story told of his having purchased arms. Those who commit mnrder and arson can LIE. Their testimony nobody will take. They are not competent witnesses. But suppose he had got arms and used them. He had warning enough by the mob t a pre vious election to fear what was coming. Had he not a right to prepare and defend himself, and shed the last drop of his blood and that of his assailants? Has it come to this, that men have not the right to defend their homes, their wives, and their children? Yet the editor of the Journal cooly informs the public that “his blood is upon his own head." The truth is. that the crime of Francis Quinn was, that be was an Irishman and a Catholic— the brother of a priest who dial some time since. According to the Louisville Journal his crime was that he had fire arms in his house, when he believed he was to be moblied. For this he was killed—burned up; and, says that incomparable moralist of the Journal, “his blood is upon his own head.” There are sever al other self-stultifying articles in the Journal, and we expect the editor will write on. It is not wortli while to disprove what he says. He will testify agaainst himself. We are not done with this number of the Journal. No willing witness and special plead er can get through the horrid story of Mon day. An Important Decision. 8. M. G. Gary vs. Thomas Oliver.— This was an action on the case. The facts were these: Thos. Oliver, a Kentucky horse trader, desiring to sell a horse to Dr Gary of Cokesbury, represented him as being remarkbly gentle—a woman could manage him; (Gary wished to purchase a safe family norse.) The horse was harnessed to a buggy, and Dr. G. requested Oliver to drive him; this Oliver declined to do, on the ground that he had been sick, was weak I and could not see very well. The Plaintiff, Col 8. M. G. Gary, was then requested by Oliver to drive the horse, who also refused, not regarding him, from his appearance, as safe; but at length, on the rep-ated assurance of Oliver that he was a gentle horse, and had been driven by his wife, was induced to get in the buggy and drive him. He found the horse unmanageable and vicious; be ran away, and by a kick broke the Plaintiff’s leg. Action was brought for damages, and the ease abjy argued on both sides before Judge Ward law at the recent extra Court for Abbeville.

The Jotnmal of yesterday has the tbllowing frank acknowledgement: “The route, we arc sorry to say, has been al most compb te ; and as the smoke continues to lift from the field, new casualties come to light on all hands.” Our neighbor will soon be able to present the public with the official list of the killed wound ed and missing of his party, and will perhaps accompany it with a quotation from one of his newspaper co-laborers in another State, “we have lost ip the fight every thing except our pen, ink and paper,” The reader, we are sure, will not expect us to restrain our joy in announcing the result of the battle of last Monday. We who have labored for weeks and months, feebly, it is true, but honestly, untiringly and fearlessly in the cause of our party—who have been the constant ob jects of our Know.

We rejoice that Know-Nothingism has been “crushed out” lu opr midst, because we conscien tiously believe that itp principlesand tendencies are in opposition to the institutions of our coun try. We have set a good example tq bur friends in Georgia, Mississippi pud Louisiana.— We say unto them, “Go thou and dp like wise.” Erom the Times 4 Sentinel. Mistakes, or Misstatements, >or Misrepresentations?—Hon. Wil lis A. Hawkins. When a candidate appears before the people for the high office of Representative in Congress it is presumed that he is at least a truth teller. We must charitably conclude, therefore, that Hon. Willis A Hawkins is not posted in the current political history of the times and that the gross misstatement of facts in which he habitually indulges is the result of natural Know Nothingism. The editor of the South- Western News notes the following mistakes made by the candidate of the Know Nothings in a sjieech delivered at Vienna, Dooly County on the Ist inst. Ist. He said “Governor Johnson had de clined open discussion. This is untrue.— Governor Johnson has invited his competitor Garnett Andrews, to canvass the State with him. 2d. He said .‘.‘that the Democracy elected John P. Hale to the Senate.” ’This is untrue- John P. Hale was elected first to die Senate by a fusion of Whigs and Abolitionists over a regularly nominated democratic candidate; and he owes his last election exclusively to the Know Nothings. 3d. He said "that of the 44 Northern Dem ocrats who voted for the Nebraska-Kansas Bill, only 6 were re-elected. The returns show that there are 14 Northern Democrats already elected to the House who were supporters of the Bill. 4th. He said that “the law requiring 14 years residence as a preliminary to naturaliza tion was passed during the administration of Washington.” This is too bud. I’lje first law on the subject of naturalization, passed under Washington’s administration, required a resi dence of only two years; it was afterwards clianged to five years; and thus it stood until old John Adams and the Federalists changed it to 14 years. As soon.however, as Mr. Jef ferson and the Republicans got into power the term was shortened to 5 years, and there it has stood until the present day. Mr. Hawkins is inexcusable for his palpable blunder. A reference to the laws of the Uni ted States would have saved him from the mor tification of this exposure of his ignorance. "After the speech and barbecue were finished, says the News, thirteen gentlemen, whose names are annexed, asked us to publish to the world, that thair connection with the Know Nothing Order had forever ceased.

The increase of the trade ofthe Unied States with the port of Havana, over that of ail other nations, notwithstanding the bad feeling that has existed between the two countries is truly wonderful. The Havana Mercantile Re ports. of the Bth nit., gives a statement of the number of vessels, their tonnage, and the nations to which they belong, which entered the port ot Hai ana during the first six month of the ten years last past. The increase in the total ton nage for the first six months of the years, from 1846 to 1855, is a trifle more than li)0 per cent. While the American tonnage has increased more than two hundred per cent., the Spanish and british is nearly stationary. For the first six months in 1846, the American tonnage em ployed in this trade was 71.722: the Spanish 35, 528; and the British 32,969. The total nmn of vessels which entered that port during the six months ending July Ist last was 1080, of a tonnage of 364.933. and of these. 570, of a ton nap? of 231.484, were American; 58.338 Span ish. and 32,165 British. The French tonnage has increased from 1761, in the first six months of 1846. to 8269 for the same period in 1854. and 23.233 (more than twq-thinfa ofthe British) in 1855.

The last named gentle man, our informant says delivered an oioquent and impressive prayer, beseeching the Great Rulei- to stay the ravages of the terrible scourge. Considering the depopulation of the town, the attendance was large. There were forty cases of fever in the Naval Hospital, and some of the patients dying. The fever in Portsmouth was i-upUUy increasing.— Messrs. R- IL Parker and Wm. B. Collins, re ported dead, were still alive. Among the sick was the correspondent of the Petersburg Ex press, who has heretofore furnished that paper with a list of the dead. From a passenger who came up vesterday, we learn that when the Coffee touched at Ports mouth, there was not a soul on the wharf, save a little negro boy. The town looked desert ed. When the Curtis Peck arrived at City Point, a gentleman came out on the wharf, and hoist ing a red flag, warned them off, with the alter native—if they would land—of having to leave Petersburg by 51-2 o’clock this morning, which would be enforced by■ the authorities of that place. Three cases of fever are Reported to have oc curred at Hampton. The Curtis Peck was crowded with passen gers, who were permitted to land after the Health Officer had done his duty.

Tl estenlay, the Ist instant, the existence of a monster ofthe fish or serpent species in the quiet waters of Silver Lake, was established beyond reasons' le doubt—if indeed there has been room for doubt for a time past. At about noon on Wednesday the monster was seen by at least h?lf a dozen persons from different points ot" view, from the upland adjoin ing the lake. There were no boats out. VVor k ing men on thetarm of Mr. A. Macomber, not half a mile distant —two young men visiting at Mr. M.’s on another part of the farm, a young man named Merrill, of this village, from another point, and part of M.'s family from the upper window facing the lake. All saw lhe monster apparently sunning himself on the surface ofthe waler. A description is impossible except of his move ments. He moved and floundered about for ten or fifteen minutes. The parties were from one quarter to one-half a mile distant. The water elsewhere on the lake was as smooth as glass, and there could be no deception or optical delu «.on in the vision of thq, parties. All concu. in the statement that he is as large round as a large log, and that 30 or 40 feet oi him was visible. The parties saw it unknown to each other.— Some of them have no personal acquaintance, and one or two are yet almost ready to disbelieve their own sense rather than run counter to all well established rules in regard to snakeolo uy- , , . For ourselues, we are forced to admit the tact of the existence of a monster of the serpent spe cies of immense pci»p rtions, in Silver Lake.— We cannet escape the conviction and belief, un less we disbelieve merely because we have not seen. We hope, however, to announce before long that he has been captuied. Every effort is be ing made to accompli.h that object. One word more. We assert without fear ot contradiction, that there is not a log in or on the waters ol Sil ver Lake—that nothing has been placed there to create the 8. rpent story—and that what is above staled, and what is above stated, and what has appeared in the Wyoming Times regarding a serpent in Silver Lake has been related to us by candid, honest and truthful men and women— persons who have not flinched from testifying to the facts as given to the public. “O git out,” with your forty feet stories. He may be an eel as large as a log, which log may be as large as a piece of chalk. Mrs, Tattle on a V isit. There’s Mrs. Tattle, again, over at our next door neighbor's.

From the Upper Missouri.—The steamer St. Mary, from Fort Union, a distanne of 2.- 250 miles up the Missouri river, arrived at St Louis on the 3d instant. She brought 2.25(1 packs buffalo robs, furs, peltries, &c. She was out about seven weeks or two months, which, considering the distance and the low stage of the water, is verry good time.

Wooden Nutmegs Outdone.—There is a Parisian dandy who, we think, rather outdoes Connecticut : C” ■ ' had at his residence a complete groom coustumc. When offering an attention to one of the fair sex, he used to say, “ permit mi to send you a bouquet by my black servant.” He then repaired to his garret, took out his blacking bottle, polished his face and hands, and knocked at the lady’s door. “ Here,” he said, “are some flowers sent by mas ter to madame.” ! He spent the last five francs in the purchase. Madame was so delighted with the present that she presented a Zeus to the bearer. That is a clear pocketing of three dollars aud a lady’s favor into the bargain. A medical writer says that the fail ure of appetite in the summer is apt to be considered as perse, an evil, to be dootored and removed; while it is only a si„n of mischief, itself. Instead, therefore of resorting to stimulating condiments or medicines to force an appetite, one should live abstemiously for a few days, and as the system works off the causes of disease, a natural appetite will come back. In those rare cases in which a failure of appe tite depends on absolute deficiency of food, a return to more generous diet present the only hope of relief. E?"
