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.

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.

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. *

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."

Ciiaulrston, July 20th, 1857.
People are beginning to wonder what lias
econie of the clerk of the weather. 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.

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 :

in the family of an acquaintance in thi*
city. 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."

There is some disagreement in the 1 >?-rnocratic
party upon that portion of the platform,
relating to Walkor's course in Kansas,
which may diminish Judge Drown'* majority,
but we presume there can he little doubt
of his election?Carolina 7'imes.
A Sad Cask.?A poor man who was arrested
in lktston. a few days since, solely
upon the oath of another man, that the first
had robl?ed him, in desperation, hung himself
in tho jail, on tho Oth. lie protested
his innocence from the first, and was, with
out doubt, an innocent man. He leaves a
wife and two small children. lie was visiting
the city, and was arrested while walking
the street.

the lower part of this District, on the 12th

The deceased, in all his relations in life,
acted his part well, ns a citizen, a neighbor,
a husband, a father, n christian. At the
call of his country in 1814, he shouldered
his musket nnd boldly marched to expel
the invader from our shores. When peace
was made lie returned to his plough, the
quiet citizen. As a neighbor, his heart was
ever open and his hands willing to help such
ns wanted help ; as a hunbaud and father,
ever kind, ntfnblo nnd indulgent. Me raised
a large family to be grown, and all quite
respectable. As a christian, he united himself
to the Dnplist Church at Standing
Spring, in 1842, and has ever lived as christians
should live, humble, devout, and pious;
his walk and conversation said, to all hi*
acquaintances, that ho truly was what lie

eil much, and lie bore it with resignation
and patience, speaking often of hi* prospects
after death with perfect calmness. He said
to the writer of these lines he hud no feat a
of hi* acceptance with piwl, that in Jesus
he had trusted long, and that an hi* end approached
his faith grew stronger and stronger.

TESTIMONY OF DR. O. BUTCHER.
Grrkn Bask, Pocahontas Co., April 10, *&6.
Gentlemen?Some few months since a patient
applied to me for medical advice, afflicted
with a severe form of secondary syphilis.
(he had ho<n under the charge of two
physicians without deiiving relief.) I comI
menced using the regular remedies of the
| profession, hut the disease stuldiornly resisted
all my efforts. The reputation of Carter's
Spanish Mixture liming reached me,
j and being personally acquainted with.youri
selves, I determined to give it a trial. I did
ho. and in a short time it? good effects were
evident, and three bottles cured him.
As nn act of justice to suffering humanity,
I I cannot withhold my testimony to its vir
lues as an alterntiro and prompt purifier of
tlio blood, and lake pleasure in recommend
ing it to the profession and the public generally.
Yours respectfully,
O. BUTCUER, M. D.
