THB DISTURBANCE AT CALHOUN'S MILLS. The Abbeviiie Press and Banner give? this account of thc disturbance at Calhoun's Mills on Wednesday : A number of our cit izens from the neighbor? hood of Calhoun's Mills were arrested and brought to the village on yesterday by the State constabulary, undercharge of being con? cerned in the election disturbance on Wednes? day. As there ls much excitement and cou Sleting accounts, we lind it. difficult to give efinitc statements, and therefore forbear, comment. From the character of the parties accused, we feel assured that they wili be able to vindicate themselves at thc proper time. We have t!ie statements of two of the man? agers, very reliable men. that everything passed off very quietly until about two or titree o'clock in the evening, when at the instiga? tion of some of the constr.bular?-, an attempt was made by the negro guard to clear the polls, when the whites resisted and forced the constabulary to leave. There was no blood shed-much excitement, but no damage done to any one. Thc presence of the State conslabulary' here is a constant source of irritation to our people, i and ever must be so. It s to them that we at? tribute nearly all the disturbances which have occurred In our midst. It ls to their Interest to provoke violence and thus make party capi? tal, as well as make a livelihood for themselves. Let our people remember this and abstain from all acts of violence, wiiich these men so eagerly desire to provoke.

SECRET OF TEE A URO RA BOREALIS. Recent Discoveries Explained. The London Spectator has for some months distinguished Itself by a series of astronomical articles, combining full scientific information with popular interest. The latest is tho fol? lowing, published in that paper on October 9, and explaining some recent discoveries of im? portance, tending to explain the true nature of the Northern Lights : Men of science have long felt that a strange secret lay hidden in the brilliant folds of the aurora. The magic arch, with its pointed streamers shitting silently but swiftly across the heavens, pulsating mysteriously as though illuminated by the fitfully changing glow of some concealed furnace, and rendered sur? passingly beautiful by the brilliancy of Us col ors, had always had strange charms formen of thoughtful mind. And gradually a series of la? borious researches had revealed i he laws which associate this beautiful apparition with dis? turbances affecting th? economy of our whole earth, and not indistinctly connected willi the habitudes of the solar system itself. Rut re? cently a discovery has been made which is even* more remarkable than any which had ever before rewarded thc labor of physicists a\liscovery at once Instructive and'perplex? ing, revealing a bond of union between the aurora and a phenomenon hitherto thought to bc quite different in character, but leaving us still to learn what the exact nature of ?nat boml of union may be. Let us consider what had been learned respecting auroral displays and their relation to the earth's economy. We had occasion lately to point out a sudden .disturbance in the sun in 1859 which had been presently followed hy intense magnetic uction, the whoie electric sjstotn of the earth quiver? ing, so to speak, under the influence ol' thc solar forces educed by the disturbance. And we mentioned that "among the signs of this magnetic action brilliant displays of Hie auro? ral streamers had been witnessed in both hem? ispheres on the night following the solar dis? turbance. This circumstance "teaches us the true character of the aurora as strikingly as any which astronomers and physicists had patiently been gatheriug together during the past halt century. We learn at once thal a relation subsists' between the aurora, terres? trial magnetism, and the central luminary of our scheme. And even if Ave were to pause here, we should have learned enough to indicate the significance and importance of the aurora. Our earth, we may he sure, is not the only re? cipient of that mystic influence which rouses into activity thc phenomena we tenn mag? netic. Over the whole realm which il. rides, thc central orb sends forth the strange elec? tric impulses. When our skies ure Illuminated hy the magic streamers, wa muy be sure that those ol' Venus and ol' Mars, of Jupiter and of Saturn, nay even Hie skies of those unseen orbs which travel fur out in space beyond the paths ol' Uranus and Neptune, are lit up with auroral displays. When once it has been shown that we owe our auroras to solar ac? tion, we recognize the cosmical character ol' the display, and that, in a scene, the terrestrial magnetism on which it depends is a bond of nillnitv between our earth ami its sister orbs. But while we were thus taught the ire- sig? nificance o/ the aurora, we were left ii doubt as to thc way in which thc solar action aroused the electric luminosity in the upper regions of our air. We could not even tell at what eleva? tion tho light was suspended above our earth. The most "eminent physicists differed in ther views as to the possibility of learning where the magic streamers really wave when we see them most distinctly. While Arago had held that lo attempt to measure the height of thc aurora was as futile as to attempt lo measure the height of a rainbow, Slr John Herschel considered that precisely the same laws of measurement might be applied to the aurora os to any object raised high above the earth. One point, however, was well determined. The auroral lights are undoubtedly to bc as? cribed to electric action taking place at a very considerable height, where the air is very rare indeed. It became, therefore, a question whether anything could be learned by analyz? ing the auroral light, as to the condition of that particular part of our atmosphere in which the electric action takes place. Spectroscopic analysis, that strange and powerful mode of research which has revealed so many unlooked-for facts, was accordingly applied to the light of a brilliant aurora. The result was rather surprising. Instead of a rainbow-colored streak of light, flitch as would have appeared if thc aurora were due to tho existence of partisans excited to luminosity by dearie action, a single line of colored liglit appeared. ' This indicated that the light is due to the incandescence of some gas through which the electric discharges in upper air takes place. Hut this was uot thc circumstance which attracted surprise. Eather, this was to have been looked for. It was the position of the line which astonished our physicists. If the tras had'been one whicli chemists are ac? quainted with, the bright lin? would have oc cupied the position proper .to that gas, and would at once have indicated its nature. Dut there is no known element that thc spectrum has a bright line where this one appeared. Tiie observation has been repeated over and over again, by Angstrom, by Otto Struvc, and recently by Mr. Plummer, always with the same result-we canuot tell what the sub? stance mav be to whose incandescence or lu? minosity the aurora owes Its brilliancy. But now a most remarkable discovery has been effected. Angstrom' has lound that the mysterious line of the auroral spectrum exists in'tiie spectrum of another object, which hud been thought to be wholly difljfrent in charac? ter. Eyer since its discovery by Cassini, the zodiacal light hus been au object of interest to astronomers. Gradually a ?ieorT had been formed respecting it, "which had been sanc? tioned by the authority of such men as Hum? boldt and Sir John Herschel. Ii wari held that this appearance is due to the light reflected (rom a multitude of minute cosmical bodies travelling around the sun within, thu orbit of our ea tn. ' This theory had never been tested by spec troscopfe analysis. Indeed, the zodiacal light shines so taint ly ti.at it was hardly hoped that its spectrum could bc rendmd vlsib'e. But ii was confidently antichiated that if the zodiacal light ever were thus .tii.?yzed. i;.; spectrum would be that which the theory required thal is, a very &int rc^radbbvioii of tile com? mon solar spectrum. .Now. ?ii length, v.vlisartrbrti Angstrom that Um spectrum of tho zodiaml light has been observcd.?and Instead of Ming, us had been expected, a taint rainbo^jstolored streak. ii presents Jiu! a singie^ml That Hue bj thu s imo timi we sec ip tile spesruia of tiie mu - ra, in oilier v.'ords,-lhc Bgptol Lite zodiacal gi Ara arni that of the auroral Btreninera oro Sue thu fame so/S of electric discharge tak In2"place in the same medium. Without proton li:);: to further Interpret tli!.;: startling result, wc may indicate thu promise it affords of explaining'u ninnber of phenom? ena which have long seemed most perplexing. When once we recognise, tiie fact that electric ac: ion ls effective in producing any of the ce? lestial lights, we have a resource availa? ble to remove many difflcnlUe& Astronb mors were asking how comets, tor ox ample, could exhibit the spectrum of t ic incandescent vapor of carbon-that Is, a spectrum indicative of tim most intense heat, when, as in the case cf WTnneck's cornel (whose spectrum was of-this nature.) they were farther fromthesun than tiie earth ls. The action of the suit In exciting electrical dis? charges would bc quite sufficient to account tor Ulis*and similar phenomena. Again, it has been long recognized, that tho necnliarl tiesof cornets' tails seem only explicable as due to electrical action; but astronomers were unwilling to adopt such u theory without some positive evidence ia its favor, we now have such evidence; and it is most probable thal the first long-tailed comet which is Bubmitted to spectroscopic analysis will establish the view which Euler put forth more than haifa century ago, that comets' tails have some? thing in common with the auront and the zodiacal light. It would indeed be strange if three of the most mysterious phenomena with which men of science are acquainted should find their explanation simultaneously. ALL A HO VI THE STATE.
