.[From tW IkMton Courier, July 14,] Is the Mora I A?Mt?d f-Es^nt Discovery by the Astronomer Hansel. It bis Ion# been known that the moon revolve* on its axle in the Mime time in which it revolves round the earth, and that it consequently always presents nearly the same side toward the earth, while the other side is never seen from our glohe. No bodice pf water nor clouds can be seen on the moon by the air of the most powerful telescope, nor is tlie apparent direction of stars close to its edge changed by refraction, as vJhuld bo the case if an atmosphere enveloped the moon. Hence it has Wen inferred by Wbowell, the reputed author of a late work entitled " Of Plurality of Worlds," tbnt the moon has no atmosphere or water, and consequently, no inhabitants. This inference is shown to be inconclusive bv a recent discovery of the astronomer liansel, whose study of the moon's motion, continued for many years, has established . I. - .1 ... ,1.. . . , . o Uiu laci uiai uju cemre 01 gravity OI ine moon, instead of being like that of iho earth, at tho centre of figure, is beyond that centre, and farther from the side next to the earth than it is from tho other side by seventy-four miles. The nearer side of tho inoon, therefore, is a vast, expanded protuberance or mountain, seventy-four miles high ; and any fluid, whether air or water, would flow downwarla from the nearer to the farther side of the moon, where, for aught we know, intelligent living beings may exist. The | nearer sido of tho moon cannot bo inhabited, at lca-t by beings to whose existence air and water are essential, as is the caso with all terrestrial animuls. The late celebrated mathematician, Gauss, proposed ns a means of settling the question, whether tho moon is inhabited, that a huge monument should be erected on the steppes of Siberia, as a signal to the inhabitants of the moon, in the hope that they might be induced to erect a similar signal to apprise us of their existence. Tho discovery of Hansel shows tiiat such an experiment could be attended with no success, inasmuch as the inhabitants of the moon, if there are any, be iag on the farther side, could never sec a monument on the earth. It may not be uninteresting to nd.l, that it has been discovered, within a few years, by means of long continued, hourly observations with the barometer, that the moon exerts an appieciable influence on the pressure of the ntinusphere ; and also by means of , long continued magnetic observations, that it exerts an influence on the declination of the magnetic needle.

Will you enter your home and treat her with cold indifference ? Will you utter a hasty word in her presence ? ^ id vou sit down with that frown on your countenance, or complain of the burden you are called to bear! Realize that she is all your own; that throughout the wide world you are sur** j of but one heart whose every cord is linked I invariably to a counterpart of yours ; realize, that upon her bosom alone, you may weep out your sorrows in the da v of trial, without the fear of being mocked. 1 Husband, love your wife !

Bores. of Winnsboro', de livered the address on yesterday before the Literary Societies of the University. We did not have the privilege of hearing it. * Town Hail. Whilst we were standing in the nisle of the New Court House, at the conceit the ' other night, a friend and citizen remarked to us that we needed in our village a large ' hall for such occasions as that, and for various other purposes. We fully concurred i with him, and ventured the assertion that a room five times the size would scarcely seat the crowd of visitors and citizens of the village who would attend occasions of this sort. We would sugsest that a large hall be built, either by contributions or in the way of a joint stock company. It would add much to the convenience of our place, and render our public demonstrations more agreeable. Wc Lope our citizens will think of the mattor. f The Concert. The Concert of the Pupils of the Greenville Baptist Female College, on Tuesday evening last, under the management of their instructor, Prof. Bacon, assisted by Miss J1 Hkahk, was well attended, ami passed oil with much glee. We doubt very much if any one hall in Greenville ever contained a larger concourse of people than did the hall <>f the Court House that night. Age,youth and beauty, young men and maidens, old men and matrons all were present, soino to enjoy the musical repast, and others to see ami judge of the sk II and proficiency which had been attained by the young ladies in the science and art of music. Many pieces >verc performed on the piano, consisting of Quartets. Duets, <kc., and though we make rro pretensions to the knowledge of either ^ ;he science or ti.e nrt of music, still, upon ho whole, wo think the young ladies did " ;\ccedingly well, both in p.'aymg and sing- n ng, and not only conferred an honor on heinselves, by the skillful manner in which .he pieces were executed, but upon their teachers and the College. About 11 o'clock he performance closed with an A 11 C Duet by the Professor and one of his pupils, ind the crowd dispersed, well pleased with what they had heard and seen. * , ? , tl Change of Editors and Proprietors.

In his snluta- * tory, Mr. Piguot indicates what his future ^ course will be, and says it 6ha!l be hi* en- 1 deavor to publish a just, impartial and in [ dependent Southern journal, without regard 1 to cliques, parties or individuals, and that 1 the ends which he shall aim at, will be I 1 " His Country's, God's, and Truth's." j ^ To the retiring proprietor and editors we wish success and prosperity in whatever!^ maybe their undertakings in life; and. in | > behalf of the editor, extend tho right hand i ' , I of fellowship to the new incumbent of the , 1 '4 chair editorial " of the Times. * |( II \ tiikk ii aki? on tiik i)oos.?The Ah. i bcville Independent Press jays ,hat n strange I mortality lias prevailed among the dogs of * that village recently, and that, in spito of i the maxim, that " every dog has his day," < numbers of them have hare been forced " to i shuffle off this mortal coil M rather prematurely.

Wofford College Commencement. Tlie Commencement Exercises of ibis institution, at Spartanburg, took place on Wednesday, tbe 8th inst^ as bad been previously announced, and our exchanges there say that the day passed off joyously and pleasantly. We clip the following extract from the Spartan^ in regard to H. It sap : 44 It was a bright day, and one long to be remembered, 'the chapel at an early hour was crowded with a vast concourse of citizens and strangers. We arrived?in time to secure a comfortable seat, and to witness the whole proceedings. At ten o'clock, A. M.. the crowd was enlivened with soine fine and thrilling music by the Greenville band, which, at the head of a column of sedate and venerable looking men, was seen march ing toward the chapelry. Among those thus distinguished, besides the Faculty and Trustees were numbered some of our most distinguished citizens. In the line could he seen the towering fonn of our popular Ex-Governor, John H. Means; the venerable Dr. Pierce, of Ga.; the Lieutenant-Governor of our State, lion. Gabriel Cannon ; Mr. Williams, one of the merchant princes of Charleston ; and Dr. Dogan, one of the most affluent men of the up country. On the stage, in front of the whole audience, these men were sealed, thus presenting an imposing appearance."

The lost probable conclusion at which one can rtive is, that the elements under his conrol began to wax rather warm to be pleasnt, and that he has ignominiously retreated i the mountains or somo of the springs, afir having an inefficient deputy in charge. tt any rate, something is " rotten in Denlark," and needs tho speedy attention of lis wiseacre. Tor tho last ton days there as been a hard contested battle between ic sun and rain. The streets, cisterns, and edestrians decido in favor of the latter, 'roin a labyrinth of dripping clouds the sun ould break forth so enticingly that tho 1aies could not resist the temptation for a romcnade. King street would scarcely be eached when deluging torrents would inerilessly descend upon such a love of a bonet, and an elegant robe distended to a perect nicety, thus depriving the fair adventu ers of much of the graceful contour for rhich they are so much indebted to art. riant portion which contributes so largely to | lie formation of a complete toilet, ami is so nucli abused, certainly deserves thanks in nstances of this kind, inasmuch as it saves he mortification that would ensure upon he grotesque appearance presented by plodliug along in scanty drapery. ldy the way, it seems the attempt has >cen ma Jo to give hoops their quietus, but without success. On the contrary, the lat>st plates from thnt hot bed of fashion, l'ars, show no diminution in their pyramidal Jimensions, while new styles are constantly being introduced, and the rago for them is *s great as ever. And although they have been donned and doffed at will, to suit the convenience of certain delicate events occurring in Louis Napoleon's household, their destiny is far from being influenced by similar occurrences in America. A very pretty stylo of hat which, for a long time, has been aspiring to be a fashion, but which is now universally adopted, ia the gipay hat, worn l?y ladies. It is sometimes worn, too, l>y those who have passed the blissful period of their teens, as it has the advantage of imparting quite a youthful, as well a* piquant, appearance. 80 much does it add to the wearer, and so very graceful i it, that one fitods himself unconsciously pry ing beneath it with the expectation of see ing a pretty face. The College furore is not quite so rif here as it seems to be in other portions o the State. Still, some indignation is felt it seeing this time-honored institution, whict once stood so high, and was so long th< pride of the State, now tottering to its verj foundation. That latere is fault somewhere no one denies ; but who are the deiinquen parties, and upon whom displeasure shouh fall, is yet veiled in mystery. An old Acquaintance, in the steamer Gov Dudley, which for so long a period ran fron here to Wilmington, N. C., and bore many many thousands of living freight bourn North, to that place, lias made its appear ance in our harbor in a new garb nnd un der the new name of the Catawba.

Sad Death by Campiickk.?The Anderson True Carolinian, of the 10th inst., says: " Our community were horror stricken, on Monday last, upon the reception of the intelligence that Miss Anna Sloan, the eldest daughter of Col. William Sloan, had encountered death in a manner as sudden as it was excruciating. She was engaged in refilling a camphcue lamp, the wick of which she failed to extinguish before sVe commenced pouring in tho fluid, in consequence of which the fire came in contact with the caniphene, exploding tho can and completely enveloping her in the flames. She lived for two or three days after tho accident, suffering the most intense agony all the time. This is another admonition to those, who are careless in the use of caniphene. Like gunpowder, it is a useful but exceedingly dangeious article, and should never be used except with the greatest caution." A Premonition.?The Trey Whig relates the following incident : " It i? ireneral'.v known ilmi tlm il?tir?l>??.

She formed one of a circle of friends, including ladies and gentlemen, nt the Louse during the day. While all the others were in checr/ul spirits, it was observed in the forenoon, that Miss M. appeared to be depressed in mind. So obvious was this to her coinpaions, that it was tho subject of some remark, when she said she was unaccountably impressed with the fear that a signal calamity had overtaken some member of her family. Early in the afternoon the news of the death of Governor Marcy reached this city, and it was known to gentlemen composing the party in which Mis* M. was some time Ireforo it was communicated to her. While the gentlemen were in a room by themselves, discussing the manner of conveying to the daughter ^he sad intelligence, and before she could by any means have recoived the least intimation of tiie event, she suddenly threw her handkerchief over her face, and evidently in deep grief, retired alone up stairs." ??? Another Hint to tiik Ladies in the Cars.?Tho " hint to ladies in the cars," which some timo ago found its way into the newspapers, received an appropriate coun terpart in the following : The seats were all full, except ono which was occupied by a rough looking Irishman ?and at one of the stations, a couple of evidently well bred and intelligent young Indies Pnitw* in In r?riw??iri? ?oafa Kiit coninrv 'n - - ? | ?" ?
