EBDITT. WILLIAM NAYLOR. Willum Natlb. ao recently deceased, was born in Virginia in I7W. In hia early childhood be moTed with his parents to Kentucky, and while yet a boy, came to the Territory of Indiana, eeltied near Charlestown, in what ia tow Clark county. He was an athletic, brave young man, enjoying all the hardships of a frontiet life, and participating in the many Indian alarm that continually occurred on the border. II had the hereditary dislike to the Red roan so peculiar to the early settl r, and when the General Government thought it ce necessary to organize an army to protect the pioneer settlement, he was one of the first who enlisted. He waa but nineteen jeara of age, when he became an American . Idler, and marching with the company organized in Clark county, he came to Viccennes, and theo joining the army under the command of Oen Hirrisoa, came with it up the Wabash and as aisled in building Fort Harmon. It haa been almost half a century since Mr. Natlo first beheld this f-rtile valley and beautiful prairie. Untouched by the hand of civilization, it wa then in it primeval atate an uncultivated paradise beautified by the finger of Autumn, and glorious in the universal stillness that reigned over it. It was a prospect uncommon to the eye of the white nun, and unknown to any but savage life. Vhen Fort Harrison was completed, Ihe subj.ct of this sketch, though then not twenty years M, ma relied with the army, and fought, ob the 7ih day of Noverober, It'll, in the terrible conflict at Tippecanoe. One of the youngest in that battle, yet none, were more trave. That form which we aaw but yeaterday, bent with the flight of six ty-ai yeara, was then, as atraight as the Indian's arrow, stalwart and symmetrical. The hardships of frontier life wado Mm capable of enduriog the greatest fatigue, iau the dangen that continually surrounded him, impelled hiuj to scale, rather than shun the post of danger. In this battle with the wily savage f. William Natc bora himself a becomes a patriot and a hero In the thickest of the fight, when his cetapauiooa fell oa hia right hand and on his left, and he waa 1 ft atandiog almost alone ia the midst of a deadly fire, he maintained a cool self possession, and fought with a courge ao commendable that he won the respect of all. This waa the crowding moment of hia life the time when all his manhood waa required to sustain him, and do oldier who ever trod a battle field, displayed for the time, wore determiced heroism. We hare often heard him relate this incident in hie past history, and on thoa occasioea we have observed the fire of youth rekindle in hia eye. and the ardent impulses of his nature, peak from every feature of his face. There waa no braver man oo that battle field, no truer patriot or determined soldier. Rut it was not ort the tented field where Mr. Niuoa shone the most conspicuous. He was a taodel uf every Christian virtue in the re tired aod domestic affaire of life. In Irl" ho rnsxtvrd Naiut Maaais, si.ter to Jama aod Stems Maxau, who were soldiers in the In diso ware, and who lost their Uvea ia a close fight wit the savage foe. From this period uatil hia decease, he was a quiet, unobtrusive citizen. evar distinguished for his iicorruplible integrity, ana oodoubtmg Christian faith. He nof ad io dial roidJle circle in locrity, which is far bejoeid the reach of the vulvar aci profane, arl to conscientious to indulge io ihe exeeaaea aod diasipationa of the more fathtocalle. He occupied that medium io the social c irrte which ia free) from the ignorance and wiexedneaa of the lower, and the ten thousand cem cf the higher clisitf. He took this peit!o as a matter of choice, ar.,1 he choose it, because he was a oan of virtue and of sense. We have never known a better man than William Nai tea. He practiced io an eminent decrew tr.a Christian virtues. He was not treat, but he waa virtuous can a higheren roDjiura t paid him? He was a good man et w e say more ? Well was tt aaid of him "Mark u rfr'1 man, and behotd the up rifht; f r the v of tliat man is peace." The lives of soma raV should bo written. Dot ao tauch for what they have done, a fjr the ten thousand ricea they h.-va never practical. There s as much couraa in resistieg the wiekadneaa of this world, as ia turning the tide of battle. Ia the one cae. Iber is phya ical, in the other, moral heroism. Mr. Nat tea waa never rich ha would col consent to make the grell aacrifice that waa necessary to bceooe ao. H had no desire for whal the world call tb luauriee of life, for hia great est luxury, was a conscience void of offence with lid aod man, ard ots wealth, a warm . . tr i v i - .i and gneraua b-art.

After the Anti Lecomplon Democratic State Contention which met on the 23d of February had adjourned, Ihe aoti Lecompton Democrats throughout the State deemed it advisable to have a thorough anti Leeompton Democratic paper at Indunapolie, and joining together they started the National Dtmoctat. To make that paper eminently aerviceabU they aecured aa ita editor, the services of Charles Smith, ooe of the ablest writers in the State. The Democrat, starting ander those circumstances, opp.ed the Lecoanptoa policy of th President, and hit, up to the prefect time, been a coo at alert anti-Lecoiuptoa sheet. The Terre Haute Journal and the National Dtaocrit, were then, fighting in the um traces both ardently acti-Lfcotaptoo both xcaloualy op posed ta the Administration. The Democrat stands now where it then atood, and of course advocates the election of Carr, Havey and John 0. Davis. While the Journal, as the fit representative of the vacillating course of Mr. Cookerly its editor, opposes the election of all those gentlemen and warmly austains the electieo of the Leeornptonitea throughout the State. Cookerly aaya the hardest things he can about the editor of the Democrat denies that he is the anti-Lecompton organ for this State. and here is Mr. Smith's opinion of Col. Cjokerly : If our quondam friend of the Journal who wields such a formidable sword of lath could but wethe "figure he cuts' he 'ould bebetUr able to tell where and at whose expense the lau$h corats in. Whatever may be the ex tent of agreement or diaagreement between ourelf and the ami Leeompton Democracy of the State, we have sever yet performed the la dicreus operation of turning wuraeif inside out, nor the yet more ludicrous one of attempting to awallow nurelf. The only charitable mode which anti-Lecomptoa Democrat in this region hare of accounting for the auizzical freaks of the Journal is. that the editor has procured a pair of Lecomptoa boot., and that within those boots is installed a genuine Leeompton elf. This, with the Don gl a flag at hia "lop tuaot" forms a tout emtmble which no connoisseur can fail to appreciate. ... Rev. P. Wiley. This gentleman preached his farewell aerrnonon lat Sabbath. It was a fine effort, welling up from an overflowing heart, and at times anfTasin? his audience in tears. Asbury Chapel has never boasted a more popular preacher than Mr. Wiley. He is loved by hia entirt rongregation and highly respected by this whole community. Under hia ministrations the congregation of his church has increased, until it is now the largest in the city. While he is an able divine, his many Christian virtues have so endeared him t the members of his church, that on Sabbath, when he pronounced his farewrll, it seemed as though the fonntaius of the heart were bro ken up, and relief could only be found in sobs and tears. What greater tribute could be paid to hia virtues and his usefulness ? Where Mr. Wiley will Vj sent by the Conference aoon to convene, we do not know, but wherever it may be, that people will be fortunate iu having an able and a gooJ man, a scholar, and a Christian Iil,eron' for PM tor. IT At the last term of our Circuit Court, which closed ita aessmn on Saturday, there were four convictions for felonies; the Grand Jury failing to find indctments against several of the persons in jail. The following ia the list of eouvietiona and the sentence of etch: State r John Adly Charge of grand lsr cenj in stealing a watch sentenced to the Penitentiary for two years. Mate tt.

Docs Literature Pay? This is a question which is often asked. lVnple. who have no faith in any occupation, whose remuneratian ia not in dollars and cents, are always aneeringly asking if literature paya? Alas the poverty of pots is pro.

verbial. There hav been tuore poerui coropo ed in atiifs than iäRoudoirs. Thaairaila of J men of letters have afforded food for the satirist and fun for the million. Dumas, and hia creditors, Dickere, and his creditors, Lamartine, and his appeal to the pock-ta of this generation, are themes for nen of business, and capital, to gloat over. Tat tend eltows, and poetical brains, are not exactly synonymous, but the oue, invariably auggeati the other. When a p,t become rich in this world's goods, the muse begins to pUy hi:n false, and he ia no lunger the poet he waa before. Fib thy lucre )lays sad haroc with the lüviue afflatus; and the jingle of dollars, ia not at all iu harmony with the jingle of rhyme. When a poet,Wtth a plethoric purse.(if there was ever a poet io that condition.) presehts himself to the rarnasiiau ladies, he encounters frowns where hi had expected smiles; and to their honor be it said, he finds that their favors are not to be bought. Beyond the reach then, of the almighty dollar, ia located the empyrean sphere' of Poesy. j Few persons, before entering upon the pro-' feision of Literature, pause ta enquire, "Doe it pay t" It seems aa.lljr antagonistic to trua poetic fteltng, the hard reality of pay, or no pay. With an abandon, which to the man on change, seems akin to madness, the poet yields to the facinationa of the mute. With an eye charged with unearthly fire, he woo the tuneful niue. And. when once a man plunges, neck, or nothing, into Tere when once he places his foot upon the enchanted borders of Imaginary Realms when once he tastes the nectared aweeta of Poesy he is gone. The shouta of friend, the sneers or enemies, the pinching of poverty, the menaces of the fu ture, all fail to deter him from his course. He i. from thptctforlh,"jcinfd to his idol." and the world had as well "let him alone." Nor would the hum drum ploddt-r of earth the' alnister coiner of dollars the material man of; the world wonder at his reekles abandon. could they only, for one moment, rcalire the magical power of the grand images which beckon the poet on. Could they but heboid, as he beholds them, the stately aod glowing creations of hia maddened brain the superb idols of his rapturous adoration which line the gleaming aisles through which he godlike tramps and the atartling myateries which spring up, as by er.ehaatment, along his glorious pathway, they would forgive him. And then the goal the magnificent goal, which ends the glorious vUta, and which the ever yearning poet essays to reach. Urandtr than a temple of stalactites, more gorgeous than the pavillions of the sun, brighter than the clouded archway of the moon, is the Heaven -domed Temple of Fame. No wonder then, that the poet goes panting on his way. No wonder that his ear is deaf to the crie tf thoe. who see not as he sees, and dream not as he dreams. No wonder that he aneers at poverty, and that the wants of his body are unheeded in that cxciling race. No wonder that he, of all others, doe not stop to inquire, does it pay ? And does it pay ? Not In dollars and cents. Not in marble-fronted palaces, and glittering equipages, and parple and gold; but in hap pines and love, and in the peace which parses understanding. Iu this does Literature pay. Its payments are sure, and far exceed iog the riches this world can give. Tho true poet is naturally simple-hearted, and pure, and expects to God others fo. And the shock he receives, when he discovers the harsbnes, and u neon geniality, of the world he had believed to beautiful, is alwavs the be- " e ginning of his poetry. He turns from the world as it is, and tuning his Ivre, console himself by tinging of it, as it should be. And thus, sorrow nurses him for his-cslling Shocked at the Real, he becomes a dweller in the fairy rcil'ws sol the Ideal, and from bi aad heart. come those plaintive and touching song, which the world, not uufrvquently. pause to hear. And behotd, he is more than repaid. Life hu a double meaning to htm. The sublime mystery of death, rcaolves itself into a Golden Gateway to the Great Beyond. He is akin to God. He emerges from sorrow, into beatitude. He claims affinity to Nature, old ocean sings him lullaby, and the babbling brook, ay 11 a bles him rhymes. He ia ea rapport with the Spirit of the Universe. Landscapes smile as they arrange themselves before his eye. Solitude whispers to his ear. The stars silently constellate themselves for him to look upon. His aoul is attuned to the harmony of the Uciverse, Hia blood pulsates to the Universal Heart.

Tho Comet.

Those who look upon the small nebulous 1 star now visible can hardly realize the ttrrifie ' appearancaof the same object when, in PJ61. i i.i .i , -i I j t It approached the sun with a tail kunitrd drytrr$ i length ! Its tail came streaming up in the luornii g several hoars I fore its head, and when ita nuelrua was in the zenith the " tiain stretched Mow tU WtaUru horizon. Ita train waa firt very broad, but it dtcreased ia width, extending enormous in length. It j ia aaid to have disappeared Oololxr 3d. n the day of the death cf Pope Urban IV. It - I was. of courae. thou-ht a special forcrauner of , that event. The conirt had appeared lefjre in 975, and also in 295 and 1 04, as mentioned by Chine annalists. This a ould gi ve it a period of about 292 veara. In 975 ita tail was 40 de grees in length, and ita nucleus or head was j so bright as to be vUihle iu the day time. Ita next appearance after 12C4, was in looC in U,""-V- ""J I V similar to its present one, being "somewhat j paler than the planet jlars, and wall a train offour degrees in len-th." It has U-en known aa 'h gra. Comet f Charles V. because ii appears in the Jfr in which his abdication look place. The Jvi.por (Charles V of Spain.) considt red it an otueu of his death, although he survived it some years, pabricua. his Astronomer, roapptd out its path, de I cribingits coure "through Virgo and Beotes. pad the pole of the hcareus itito Cepheus and CaiojHrin. " What rndrr-d this cooiet particularly interesting was its near approach to ihe earth, bting on. the l'2Ai t Starch only seren itiilli'.ns of miles diUnt. The orbit of the coiuct ef l'2f4 was computed by Pingre and Dunthome, while that of I5Ö6 was computed t3 Hallj and afterward by Hind of the Southvilla Obarvatry, Regnt'a Park, England. It was found that the two orbita agreed, and Piugre concluded that they were the same, and that it would return again in 1 648. It waa accordingly txpeetfd at that time, and its non appearance stimulated some to a re examination of the previous ealculatious. Mr. IUrler found that the attraction of the outer planet, Jupiter, Saturn and Herschell had retarded it. Mr. Hind predicted its appearance in after making allow anro for the disturbances. The exciieraeut and crude speculations relative to its antici pated near approach to the earth last year, is still in everybody' memory. There is no necessity of relating that were a comet to strike the earth it could not penetrate the earth's atmosphere, on account f the ux-rior density of the latter. But the inclination uf the comet , to the earth's orbit being so great (3G d-g ) ' there could scarcely be a possibility of a! "bruh" from its tail at any time.
