Aurora Borealis.
Our citizens had the pleasure—many of them on last Sabbath evening, and in fact during all hours of the night, of witnessing one of those grand and magnificent "Heavenly lights" frequently seen in this latitude, but as a general thing late in the
Mf«ll
fall season, and styled Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. It exceeded in beauty and grandeur any auroral display we have ever had the pleasure of witnessing in this section of country. We suppose however, it appealed to most people like the last thunder storm—"a great deal the hardest." The Cincinnati Daily <Gazette's> account of this etherial [sic] display of fire-works, which
we subjoin, is an exact and correct description of the appearance of this phenomena at this place. "It began about 8 o'clock,
before the twilight had fully gone, and at twelve it was still brilliant. At the time
it began there wore dense masses of black clouds in the West, reaching half-way to the zenith. Those disappeared before the
Aurora, which soon overspread half the sky, the arch culminating, as the Aurora always does when it covers the sky, at the 'zenith of the magnetic dip,' which phrase may be thus explained. If a magnetized needle be suspended in a vertical plane on
fi0I:s
a pivot, the northern pole will point to the
Earth, but not a vertical line, and the angle of variation from the vertical line is called the "magnetic dip." The zenith of this is the point in the sky to which the south pole of the needle points. The col-
ors of the Aurora were greenish yellow, and the complementary shade of red.— When the Aurora was at its hight [sic] the col-
ors were very brilliant. Later in the night the blush was confined to the north, and
did not reach more than one-fourth the distance to the zenith.
"The Aurora is supposed to be caused by the illumination, through electrical influences, of particles of sleet, in the higher regions of the atmosphere. We have seen it several times in summer, and have al-
most always noticed that it followed a sud-
den lowering of the temperature after a
rain. Last evening the mercury sank rap-
idly, and at 12 o'clock it was more than probable that we should have frost before morning.
"Although, as we say. we have several times seen the Aurora in summer, we never saw so brilliant a manifestation but once before, and that was more than fifteen years ago, in this city, when the diffusion
was as great and the light more brilliant than last night. The southern part of the heavens seemed purple by contrast. In the east and north-east the lights were green, of various
shades, mingled with yellow, while in the
north-west they were of a brilliant rose
tint, like the flames from burning buildings. And over the whole of the sky thus
illuminate, away up to the crown of the arch and beyond, ever and anon ran tremulous waves of light, not unlike flashes of lightning.
"The light was so intense that our hand held near a wall cast a shadow, and we read by it solid minion type. "P. S.—About one o'clock this morning the Aurora assumed a form of extreme beauty. Commencing with an arch in the
north, which was green above, and beneath of the intensest [sic] purple streams of light shot up to the. zenith of the magnetic dip, from fully half the circumference of the horizon. These united, making a sort of crown. Be-
yond this there were banks of greyish green
light." it was seen with equal splendor all thro' the north, north west, and east; and we
learn, caused the weak and superstitious, in many places, to come to their knees with "fear and trembling;" thinking doubtless. that there was a strong proba-
bility of their sojourn upon the earth being brought to a speedy termination. One man, we are informed, not a thousand miles
from Crawfordsville, prayed loud, long and most fervently for protection, during the
greater part of the night of this grand exhibition. ———<>———

This conviction is strengthened b}- the fact that that every Black Republican and every sympathizer of Black Republicanism is an enemy to the measure.
This chronic proclivity to "cut under" the Democracy, in whatever radical measure (no matter how foolish) the latter seta its heart upon is one oftho fatally besetting sins of our friends at the South. It is this which intimately brought about a seueronce betweeu Northern and Southern Whigs in 1654. If the above talk of our Richmond contemporary at all correctly represents the SEntiments of Virginia Opposition, their reunion with Northern Conservatives will of course be impossible- Think of Virginia Whigs going for revival of the African Slave Trade!

Was Greeley Sold?
It is alleged in some quarters that Greeley was imposed upon at the Gregory Diggings. A Mr. Blouse, one of the miners from Tuscawaras co., Ohio, states in the <Advocate>, of that county, last week, that:
Mr. Greeley was fooled by the miners, and by Mr. Gregory himself. Gregory told Greeley to dig up a shovel full of dirt, and he would wash it out in his presence, and show him that his diggings were no humbug. Greeley did as directed.— Gregory then washed it out, having in the meantime gold dust deposited in his sleeve which he let drop into the pan. Greeley was of course astonished at the richness of the diggings—published a statement—the people having confidence in him, flocked to Gregory's diggings, and sold his claims at a big figure.
Mr. Blouse left the Gregory Diggings only three weeks' ago. He brings discouraging accounts from the mines generally.
The Gregory are the only diggings found he says, that will pay, and only about one hundred men are employed there who make good wages. Thousands are searching the mountains in vain, for gold, and many are leaving for home.
We publish his statement for what it is worth.

As we '"predicted (he dispatch from Louisville to (lie Cincinnati Commercial s(ating that. pat-sins M. Clay would take the stump for Bell lor Governor, turns out (o
have been a canard, and was intended for political effect. Mr. Clay spoke in Cov
ington, Ky., on Friday tti^ltt? last to an audience of fifteen hundred people. The following synopsis of his speech is from the Commercial of Saturday: 4
SUBSTANCE OF MR. CLAY'S REMARKS. ..-Mr. Clay said that he had taken no public part iu the excited canvass now drawing to a close, but had cheerfully responded to a call from his friends for a political address in Co .ington. He was an humble representative of'the Republican organization, and he only asked of the Whigs and Democrats, and Americans of that city, a respectful hearing.
The people of these States were engaged in no new c.ohtrbversy, and it was well to recognize tho features of a struggle as old as the world—the struggle between the class in possession of illegitimate power, and the people who would be free of that power. The possessors are conservatives —conservative of monarchical prerogatives of privileges of caste, of the material advantage for the day, derived from the ownership of .labor. Napoleon I. expressed his view of the conflict of principles by declaring that Europe was bound to be Cossack or Republican. So here in America it is inevitable that as a nation wc must bo the Propagandists of Slavery—and,that in its worst form—or of Freedom.
To (he men of Kentucky he wished to preset this living issue: "Would they have a commonwealth in which labor was honoiable?" It was tho execrable feature of human slavery that it degraded—not the African, but the condition of labor. The idea of the independence of these States was the establishment of a federated union of States, in which tho right of all men to all the sweet rewards of labor—health, sleep, property, and "the pursuit of happiness," should be universally recognized. The fathers of the Republic too fondly hoped this recognition was secured by the War of Independence. But in tho Convention that ftamed the Constitution, the slave power rose, ami demanded the indirect recognition of slavery and legalization of the slave (rade for a term of years. The fatal spirit cf comprombe prevailed, and, rath-
av
than go back to Engli allegiance and taxation without representation, the framers ol that iu',!rument legalized tho slave trade. Tlie slave power grew apace Kentucky, and Tennessee, and Alabama, and Louisiana were gained. Even the compromise of 1820 carried slavery west of the Mississippi, and tho compromise of 1850 contained still greater concessions.
Were tho people of Kentucky prepared to stand by and bo committed to the support of slavery pi opagandism. by the small minority who had hitherto represented the State?
The present Gubernatorial contest had nothing in it to enlist the enthn-iasm or ihe citre ot Kentuckians. Your Bells ami Magoflins woe quancling about measure*. and »?fff.M//-es'o:.iy--neiiher o! them dared to tik a lull discussion on the principles underhing the extension or rejection of slavery in the territories. He (Mr. Clav) called thi political quackery and empiricism. Thero was nothing in the pre.-ent, canvass that touched '.he heart of the peo- 1 pie—nothing that challenged 1 he interested attention o' maturity or evoked the enthusiasm o! yout h. lie repealed that the question, which most (i all interested twenty-live out of ev •*ry thirty of the people of Kentucky, was whether (he condition of labor should be honorable? Would the non-slaveholder-ol the South be forever retiring with their !craggy horses and rickety wagons from the bdleUil presence of a slaveholding oligarchy, under whose cold shade there could be uo common schools—no
c:al
equality
--no ownership of (he soil valuable to those who themseiv'cC held the p'o'igli.— Would the non-slaveholders, wliC had moved first to Kentuek}*, then to Missouri and now to Kansas, consent to continue this westward retreat—poorer at eveay remove—until with the Indians, they finally disappeared on the Pacific slope?
There was hope in the future: "The control of the National Government was about to pass to the Republican party. Stephen A. Douglas would Stand iu the Charleston Convention like the mutineer at sea, who has the ship's charts and compass on the powder magazine, and with lighted match in hand, demands supreme command of the ship, or will engulf all on board in a common ruin. The tr'o th may surrender to this bold conspirator, but Pennsylvania is revolutionized, and Illinois will no longer follow Douglas?
Tho prominent politicians of Kentucky were lo'oking two ways—they were prepa ing to be with Douglas successful, and against Douglas defeated.
But the men of Kentucky had higher purposes to accomplish than could be secured by the election of any nominee of the Charleston Convention. 't*
Mr. Clay appealed to the naturalized citizens of the State to refcognize the political organization whose perpetuity and success depended upo'n.the elevation of tha condition of labor, and who repudiated the doctrines of the so-called Democratic party, enunciated by Lewis Cass, which abandons the American of foreign birth, if impressed into the service of European despots.' .C
Mr. Clay was listened to with marked attention throughout. .\

AN INDIANA ELOPEMENT. The Aurora Commenial tcllstlie followA -A ..*•: .t -f mg story of a Iloos/er eldpebient and What ccftnc of it:
A ma|i by the nami of M. M. Dunlup called n^lhc^iffice ol (he Ohio «ind Mississippi Railroid on Monday evening of jast week and deposited some baggage, saying th fit he wnnfed (o go to Cincinnati on the 10 o' clock, if he couid make his arrangements. Later he called and saiii the train would he to*b early for him, and lie would have to take his baggage down to the wharf and go on the packet. Mr. llush (he.ntold him tliat thd train w'a.i four honrH •behind time, when he appeared (o be joy--oiifrly idat«d, and said that that-wonbi suit him exactly.. Ho (lien departed but a short time before the train arrived (between two and three o'clock) he returned, having in his company a woman closely veiled.—
After purchasing tickets theywent out and sat,on the platform until the train came along, when they,got .pn^bQard, tvnd .were rapidly, whirled away, to their destinat ion. In five minute's' thereafter a man came riding up in breathless haste, and in great excitement asked Mr. Bush if the train was gone^ ~,rj "\es," was the reply. "Dili a man and woman get on here?" "I believe so."
Can't I catch the cars?" was the next query of tho excited individual, as he gazed wistfully up the track. "No. No chance of that." "H—1 and tion!" growing hopeless and desperate-^-'T would give a thousand dollars and the gray mare if I had only got here five minutes sooner."
Thereupon, be told the "tale of his wrongs." His name is Augustus Hervey and he is a renter on the farm of Moses Turner, in Ohio county, about one mile below Laughery. He had hired Dunlap to assist him in his work, when, it is presumed, that an "affinity" sprung up between him and Mrs. Hervey and that they had just eloped, she carrying off all her clothing and forty dollars of his hard-earned money. No other course being left, a dispatch was forwarded to Cincinnati, requesting the arrest of the eloping couple, and when the five o'clock train came along. Hervey got aboard and followed in hot pursuit. When he arrived at the depot in the city, he found a police officer watching the baggage. Pretty soon a baggage wagon from the'Madison House, arrived, into which the officer and Hervey seated themselves, and repaired at once to that hotel. There they were fonnd aud after some persuasion, the woman was induced to return. She had spent twenty dollars of the money lor a suit of clothes for Dunlap but the balance, with the baggage, was recovered. He returned with his truant wite 011 the ten o'clock train, and when he reached here he appeared to be in the greatest good humor with himself and everybody, else in general. Why shouldn't he be? He had got his wife, whom he had almost given up lor lost, and the Future, with its wealth of domestic bliss, was again smiling joyously before him.
But the end. was not yet. On (he next night Wednesday) Dunlap returned. It is presumed that he prowled around (he premises, till a late hour, when he supposed the now happy inmates where locked in the drowsy embraces of Somnus. He then approached the house, and, clambeiing up to a window, endeavored, by punching the fair lady in the libs with a long stick, to awaken her. But this "gentle hint," intended lor her alone, reached the ribs ot her noting lord instead and aroused him H:om his pleasant dreams. Vengefnlly he woke from his sleep. He intuitively felt that his evil genius" had arrived, and was bent upon again burglariously obtaining possession of his heart's treasure—the wile ol his "boosoni." With murderous intent lie hastily seized lire amis, and discharged a heavy load at the midnight de strover of his happiness and—sleep. It failed to take effect, the perseveting individual returned the fire, and severab shots passed between the parties without doing any damage. But Hervey gained tho victory, for his annoyer retreated and left the field in quiet possession of (he intrepid husband. Fearing, however, that Dunlap would return next night with a sufficient reinforcement to carry off his wife viet amis, he called in a number of his neighbors to assist him in guarding tho sanctuary of hio domestic bliss, which had been so ruthlessly invaded bj* such gallant foe. And here we must abruptly break off our narrative. We have heard nothing further from the belligerent parties, but live in hopes that the campaign is close 1 and that a treaty of peace has been entered into by the hostile parties. -o,'
The Philadelphia Gazette describes the following curiosity which is to be seen in one of the low quarters of the city:
There he sat, basking in the sun, clad in a suit of faded black, with a white felt castor surmounting his poll. Thousands of. people have paid a quarter of a oljur each for the privilege of staring at him, yet though now neglected, he is as great a curiosity to day as ever he was. This singular person is a colored man. His age is 92 years. What renders him especially remarkable is, that many parts of his body ate pure white.— His forehead, which is high and bald, parts of his face, and his entire neck, are bleached as white, gentle reader, as your own, no matter how fair may be your skin. Ruling out the exception of some spots on his hands and face, he is literally a white negro. The upper part of his body isai-

ANOTHER "NIOGKlt" LOST.
j!* Tt is well known that ifc few days flihetv President' Buchanan was pojhurniiig #t Bedford Springs, surrounded by his fawning officials and followed by a concourse of office seekers and partiznn flatterer*.
It was during his stay that the Pittsburg Post nominated him for er-electir»n, and here that he was induced, either through the influence of Bedford watet:, qr unusnal alarm abo?i1|a| c3rjcrtm.stance f'ha£, apeurad thereabout, to decline the proposed honor.
A friend who-was on the ground, gives us the'particulars of,an incident that transpired during the President's yis,i,t. Along with his retinue, and under (lie protection of the President came a fascinating and Wealthy Southern widow, well known in the fashionable circles of Washington'!- Ol course, being-a. Southerner and the owner of a large lot of slaves, she could not think of coming withont her most faithful wait-ing-maid. *She knew how affectionately slaves cling to their owners, and she was confident that slaye property would be sacred and secure, under t)»o wings .of the President—the vicegerent of the Fugitive Slave act. She needed her ebony chaltle to cnrl her hair, to pin her dress, to give her crinoline the graceful touch, and to arrange things generally.
In short, she could not do without so valuable an assistant, and as Bedford during the President's sojourn, would be overrun with valient "Democrats," eager to save the Constitution and the Union, at any time, by apprehending negroes, she concluded to bring a female slave along. In company, therefore, with the President, and with the beatiful widow, came the said slave. She landed at. Bedford with the other Southern celebrates, and proceeded to imbibe the vigiorating water, and inhale the exhilerating air. But the effect of this change of air and water was too powerful lor the affections of the colored portion of the president's: retinue, and suddenly she came up among the missing.— The announcment created great excitement in Presidential circles. The President trembled at the thought of the danger of the Union in this rash aet of the naughty slave. PIo entreated his followers to hurry hither and thither to secure the widow's property, and restore the Unioji to its accustomed placidity. There was "mounting in hot haste," and swift steeds bore the huntsmen in every direction. The telegraph wires were in requ isition, and the best blood of the President's. ..army of followers was swift in chase.
Through the long hours of the night the President paced to and fro in anxious expectation of tidings from the fugitive, and the "lone, lorn widow" mourned the probable loss of §800 or S 1,000 from her immense treasures. But one bjT one the clan returned, disheartened and way worn, and no tidings from the slave. The chattle was safe from apprehenson. The widow was minus several hundred dollars, and without the favorite and skillful hair-drees-er and dress-arranger. She was disconsolate. The President was disconsolate.— The crowd.of faithful Democrats was disconsolate. There was no kindly hand and smiling face to administer consolation and comfort to the sorrowing. To add to this, tho story had gone abroad, and the irreverent and protanc "Black Republicans" in the neighboihod were sacrilegiously making merrv over the sad predicament of the Union savers and negro catchers. It was forthwith determined, therefore, that the President and retinue should depart the inhospitable region of Bedford, and in a short time he and his admirers, and tho widow bereft of her sable help, sought quiet and safely iu the patriotic, town of Cumberland, beyond Mason & Dixon's line, in the slave-holding State ofMd. It certainly was very cruel that the uncertainty of human riches should be so brought to the immediate notice of (he President, and that, too, on the soil of his native State. He retired as speedily as possible in disgust, and it is conjectured that he will never again set foot on (he soil of a State so full of painful recollections to himself and followers.
A Mail'Melted'to Death.
James Doyle, a blacksmith by trade, died in Chicago last Fridey, under the fol lowing circumstances, as detailed by the Times of that city:
He was an extremely athe!tic person in appearance, 8P.d was considered by his workmen as possessing a remarkable degree of strength and bodily vigor. On Thursday he worked in the shop as usual until

went to supper in
as good health as usual. After supper he complained until 12 o'clock when he wont to bed. At three o'clock in tho morning his room mate awoke and found him breathing his last. A post mortem examination revealed no unusual appearance of body, except a jemarkablo and unusual quantity of adipose matter. By overwork and the heat of the day he was literally melted down.,r The coroner's jury found this to be the cause of his death.
