These columns changed -their color eon tuiually and aa sjnadually and imperceptibly as the pictures in a dissolving panorama. The atmosphere, at the same' time, was rather cool, But to leave Jights of other days," and re turn to those' of the pressnt We watched our txebanges closely for sever si Jays-after, seeing Vkt light on Sunday night, expecting to 'bear -of some gret fire, but we watched long, oar paper', was put to press on Thursday ovening wltltoul any notice of the phenomenon.

W-Oa that to be re membered we were engaged in pmkiag up our mails until about ten clockf We then left our editorial office and did not return until after 11 o'cloek. Wl made preparations, for a bath, Irkich wr completed about 12 o'clock, wnen tbe doors were closed and the curtains drawn. In this pleasant occupation we wore ongagol! about aa bour se we supposed, at time. Wben wa 'finislxd, we concluded to open the front door and look out to See What sort of night it was, before retiring to rest. As soon as we looked oat, we wore rery wicb as tonished to see the town lighted up as if some Urge building was on fire, or, as if the meon was shiaing over or, as if the sun was about to rise.

We looked up the street (Myr tie), towards Bill's store, and thought ttiat building, or ano behind it, was on fine. We rushed to the back door, openbig oa Aha river, where there were ao trees to obstruct the view, and wewera soon, convinced that it was no earthly fire that produced, such a light. The whole Northeaster ky, from, the bonma near ly to the zeni.b,was one broad sheet of light, of a pale green color. We concluded we nad been much longer In the "bath than we had aupposed and thai day was breaking. We were iadulg-oiigHii regrets that we had lost so much sleep, and were becoming bewildered with specula' tions us to how.

time could have passed with such Mtraordinary, unparalleled, and to us, itBperoipJJble Telocity, when we thought of oar waton. We looked at it and greatly te oar surprize, saw it was only ten minutes past one o'clock. We rushed to the door sgain, and gazed with awe. and, we confess, with some fear, at (he ghastly sight, for ghastly it was with al! its graadeuc and sublimity, especially te us, in bur state of mind, or the pale green light reminded as of the pallor of death, and might it not be the precursor of universal destruction Nobody knew nobody eould know. We did not know but that some great change in nature had taken place, or was about to take place that the earth had moved out of its orbit, or was committing some eccentricity in its diurnal revolution, which would bring the sun in sight four or five hours before its regular time of rising that.

some Joshua had commended the heavenly bodies to stop or accelerate their movements, to accomplish a divine purpose, or that some new sphere, apparently as large aa the sun or moon, had entered our solar system, with a million times the. speed of a comet, and Hist this light in the Northeast was the harbinger of its rising to our vision. We even gazed anxiously along the Northeastern horiz in, almost expecting to see some large orb glimmering among the trees that ekirt the opposite aids of the river. All these speculations and feats had their origin-in the opinion we had formed, ikat Northern lights only op. pea(ed lathe NTfr, and this light appeared to than-the North, and the centra of ifcaear-the spot where the sun ri-sesat mid-summer, All these reflections passed through our piind.

in a very short time. The -reader mustalso remember that we were alone, and tbat perhaps, not another soiil in the whole town wa awake. We dctevmined to hare company, so dressing hastily, we sallied forth. The first man we aroused, was, rather vexed that Ve bad disturbed him and so was thelastjl Others had a higher appreciation the phenomena of nature, as well as'o'f its beauties, and a crowd Lof intelligent and admiring gentlemen was soon collected, none of whom but one (and we think he was joking) had ever seen ruch a sight, and a good many of then) were born in high lati tudes, and had seen the Northern lights fre quently. Far the following accurate description of this remarkable and beautiful penomenon, we are indebted to Dr.

Tbot, who was with on that eventful night. It-it is copied from his meteorological report for the IT. Patent office, and is furnisbd at our aequst: i 0n this morning occurred the most brilliant Aurora Borealis ever witnessed in this latitude. It was first observed here about 1 o'clock, A. but- probably made its appearance me time earlier as tbe arch was already fully formed at that time.

This-spanned the heavens from east to westi one of two We mentioa thie becansa several fiieida Bare cwnjijained, that wedid not call them. al rata of dense clouds forming a kind ot pedes tal, from which arose a cone of white light, its edges tinged with red. Tins cone divided, one portion taking a northerly and the other a southern direction, in whicH they continued to move until they reached respectively the points of the compass, north west and south east, when they approached each other again, and met near the zenith. From this point, a bright red litrlit was emitted, sufficient to enable one to distinguish the figures en a colored watch dial, in his bed room. Ibis steady light was frequently disturbed by scinctillations, incressing the brightness.

The sight was indeed grand one, and passed off by a diffusion of this light over the entjre firmament FroM the diarletlun Coxrier. TOE AURORAl OK ELIXTR1CAL LIGHTS. According to the testimony of all' observers, the exhibition of auroral or electrical or zodia cal lights, on Friday moning, far surpassed any former instance observed in this tity, not in brightness or splendor of streaks, out in the general extent, duration and' diffusion of the light. Up to midnight of; Thursday we had more than usual darkness, and this enVanced the effect of the subsequent display, which began soon after midnight. Before that time there wasa thick and murky darkness, which shut in the influence af the gas light to a small, around and oeareach lamp, and rendered it impossible to distinguish persons or figures at the distance of few (eat: The breaking light soon began to diffuse itself gently 'over the Northern hemispheie of vision, and afterwards to cover th whole field of vision.

The effect at first was like the day except in the oolor and tone of light, which stowed a beautiful and blushing tinge of roseate red, instead of the pure gray of day breaking. The effect was so marked within a half-hour, terminnting near M. on Friday that many who the went out of doors with out information or notice were astonished, and supposed theylhad misreckoned their time, and that it was 4, A. or a later hour: After this sudden accession of light, which affected the gas lights by dimming them, and rendered it easy to distinguish persons at a considerable distance, gradual and slow lighting up continued, until the effects seemed to die out in the glare of day. There were, in some cases, a few flashes and stieakings, but the prevailing peculiarity was a general and gradual spreading or evolution oflighi.

Some of the Gas-tenders begnn pulling out the tamps before or near 1, A. thinking that it was daylight; and wo learn that carriage drivers, and omnibus drivers and others who had early calls for engagements, were disturbed by the unusual-light ME NORTHERS L10IITS. Washington, September 2. The Aurora Borealis was seen this morning in nil its glory by the citizens of the Capital. Tbe telegraphic line from Philadelphia to Petersburg was worked by the agency of atmospheric electricity alone.

the. Washington States. AnguH 29. Effects of Aurora Borealis. As evidence that the Aurora Borealis.

which was so brilliant last night, is the result of seme unknown dec trical phenomenon, it may be mentioned that the wires of the House and Moise lelrginph lines were almost paralyzed, it being quite itn possible to work North, notwithstanding that the weather, was clear and pleasant. The wires in many instances were surcharged with atmos pheric electricity which travelled to the stations here, aud went sparkling and snapping throueli the rooms. In the House office a spark -the size of a pea "flew from the instrument, and passing by the head of the operator, Mr. Royce. severely stunned him.

Other instances of the presence of a large quantity of the fluid were visioie. Its' dir. 111 bis publication, soys these lights are seen as far south as 363eg. Cahnba is situated between the 32d nnd 33d parallels, and the Aurora Borealis has been fie quently seen this far South. We think it high ly probable that the light on Thursday night, or Friday morning, was seen in Jamaica, if not at the Equalor for the first time, perhaps, in tbe history of man.

A dispatch from Washington, of the 2d Inst, says: "This mornini one of the startlinir as' well as electrical phenomena, occurred on the telegraph lines throughout the United States, that has ever taken place in this country. A series of currents of electricity, entirely independent of the battery, seem to have taken possession of the wires, and to such an 'extent that the National Telegraph lines were actually enabled to send messages from New York to Pijtsburg, Pennsylvania, correctly, without the use of a particle of the galvanic battery using this independent electricity as an ordinary battery. This is a phenomenon, we are assured, which has never before taken place, even among tbe many freaks on the telegraph wires. Tlfis extraordinary freak was, doubtless, owing to the Aurora Borealis. as tbe wires were paral-ized during its prevalence, on Sunday night.

As these nme lights were brilliantly 1 o'clock this morning, it is fair to pre-'Hueie that the phenomena of the day may be attributed to the same cause, We understand that Professor Henry is devoting especial attention to this subject, and his investigations may result in throwing light upoa Ue cause and effect of an Aurora Borealis." THE RESULT OF THEELCTioN FOR GOVERNOR. oThe Mobile Advertiser the leading organ of the Opposition in Alabama, and we might say truthfully, amongst the very ablest Opposition papers in the South says, in copying from the Confederation the estimated majority for Gov. Moore The result.wns not unexpected nor it unsatisfactory to us. We do not like Gov. Moore, in all things, particularly bis Democracy, but on the points taken against him by the friends of Mr.

Samford, and upen opposition to which that gentleman based his hopes of success in the canvass, we were decidedly with Gov. Moore, and rejoice in his success by the largest majority probably ever given to any man of any party, in the State ol Alabama." COL F. wTfTcKENS. Col. Pickens has written a letter on the demand made by a portion of the public men and papers of the South for the enactment by Congress of a slave code for the Territories.

He regards the laws for the protection of this species of property as constitutional and quite sufficient, and the executors of these laws are the judiciary and the president. Mr. Calhoun wa, perfectly willing to leave the subject to the ju-dietary when the compromise measures were under discussion, and there we think it should be left. These now fangled schemes can be productive of nought but evil. Col has ken the safe side, and the only safe 0e.fW-'anbury SjMtrtati.

South was filled with greenish' white masses of light resembling smoke rapidly buratng fire, or cumnlo Hratm clouds in a state of r'apjd motion from west' to east, for which indeed thev were first takes. But they were perfectly transparent, small atara being plainly VrelMe through the largest of tbotn. They retained the appearanwof clouds ooly a short time-soon collecting near the zenith arid assuming more brilliant hues. And now commenced a display which baffles all description the light gathering to a foeus, assuming the most fantastic forms, exhibiting the most eccentric motions dispersing and re collecting with a rapidity that was almost bewildering, and a beauty that cannot be described: Several times a scroll or wave of white light, like a flsg, wotld roll away from the brightest of theoei )eqrmal, and slowly "disap'pear. This was vf often as to attract special notice.

On tlie horizon to the west was av bank of dark deudsMarid wliere tba arch came (in con- tact witlt' these, it was of a deep red "eolft'', an3 indeed wheuever and wbereVer a olendtlioweyer small, appeared, there the light was of a deep red where the sky was clear, pale groea trad white were the prevalent The light was evidently behind and beyond the red color resembled the red ofa claudy aun set To the North the appearance was very stago- lar. The sky was perfectly clear, and of aa intense metallic brilliancy, having" a distiiKst greenish tinge; arid! though tbe of tie light wasvidcnUy in this quarter of the hear- ens no shapes or motions of light were risible there. The appearance of the Ssuthera horizon was unaffected. The light afforded fcy this aurora, was great, shot small objeots were distinctly visible at great distances. Fine newspaper pritit could be read in.the open air and Tas rend, and many persons mistaking it for daylight, arose and commenced their daily avocations before discovering their mistake.

It 'ery nearly re-'semoled the light of- early dawn, auad threw no shadow. It continued, with varying brilliancy till obscured by daylight" To Dr. Troy's interesting description, we can add but littlo: Soon after We first caw the light, delicate tints of pink appeared nearly overhead, little north of the zenith extending nearly east and west, and from ten to fifty degrees in lenjth, as if they formed the outer edge or fringe of a sombre mass of cloud or atnoke. At thii period, and afterwards, as Dr. Troy the changes were so beautiful and bewildering that they cannot be described." The pink color soon coDceotrated a little south of the zenith, deepening to a rose red, and from its centre rod rays shot forth at one time, about ten degrees iu length, forming aoolloseal star, and at another, one half and then three fourths of tbe star seemed to-be obscured by tbe interposition of a dark pall, leaving the remainder 'with its rays pointing to the South and Southeast (or Southwest) we hardly remember which.

ItWjia during these changes that the "scroller wave of light," described by Dr. Trot, appeared several times. They looked like pennons or streamers of white cloth, oscillating in the wind, and disappeared like the breath from a polished snr face of steel. After these changes, the red color receded to the Southwest, the base of the mass resting upon the horizon and the apex nearly reaching the zenith. During its pro grass, or directly afterwards, the sky overhead looked as if il was covered with broken 'clouds (we are not acquainted with the technical name of this description of clouds, but we have' often heard them compared to Tbe lines between these broken clouds were dark the nain body of eacli was greenish white something like the prevailing light in the North-east, but not so bright.

The red color in the Southwest then eprcaioat towards the Northwest, and the same hjie soon afterwards succeeded the greenish light of metallic brilliancy," which had brightened the Northern and North eastern sky. The red. then prevailed every where in the heavens, except in the Southeast, aud wasuf a deeper cfllor. White objects on the ground seemed to absorb the red in the sky, and we noticed particularly some monuments in the marble yard, which were a delicate pink color. During this time, the mercury stood at 66 and 68 degrees.

A little after 3 o'clock, as we were satisfied the prettjeat part of this sublime exhibition was ended, and as ilight aud darkness were gradually resuming their sway, we retired to rest Several persons in town Were' deceived by this lightj thinking day was breaking. We beard some one cutting wood very vigorously, and we know of one gentleman who washed his f.ice and dressed, and another who had his horse fed preparatory to a gunning expedition. Several plahters aroused their negroes, and had the mules geared," before they found out that it was not day." One of them', when lie found out his mistake, and whilst speculatiug about the light, informed us that he seDt for the key of the sideboard and tgok about forty drops." He also asked us if we didn't send for ourst We told him we already had. ours convenient that a few drops were not amiss at such a "crisis." Believing that they will be deeply interesting to all our readers, and in place of a political leader," we copy tbe following descriptions of these phenomena from papers published in all parts of the United States. We will first copy the description of the Boreal Light on Sunday evening, which did not make much of a show in this latitude, but was very brilliant in New York and north of that city From the Mobile Regiiter.

A Splendid exhibition of the Aurora Borealjs, or Northern- Lights," took place on Sunday-evening. They were so brilliant that they gave rise to the rumor of a large fire. The air became affected by them, being made very cool, and singularly enough the telegraph wires were also acted upon so much as to be almost useless. 'From the Philadelphia American. Since the year 1829 no such brilliant celestial spectacle has been visible as thai presented by an aurora borealis on Sunday night.

The luminous nebula; were of cherry red, and were disposed over the heavens like that familiar spectacle which children cnll the sun drawing water." The volumes of light shot up from the horizon in several directions, sometimes intensifying to a deep red, and then paling to a mere ruddy flush. What rendered the phenomenon the more remarkable, the zenith was at times as deeply tinged as the horizon. At ten o'clock last night we esoended the State House steeple and viewed tlie celestial dissolving views with an awe we never before realized. Pedestrians in the streets were gathered in nil directions, standing and gazing at the pyrotechnics. THURSDAY NI(SBT.

From the Mobile Register. Beautiful "akd Impressive Penomexon. The beantiful-exhibition of the Northern Lights," which were witnessed on Suhday evening last, was repeated, between 12 and 3 o'clock yester day morning, upon a scale of beauty and grandeur never before witnessed in the South, thrilling the beholders with a feeling of awe, and no doubt startling some of them into the belief that the mortgage hanging over this piece of real estate was about to be foreclosed, and the affairs of our sublunary sphere woundup immediately and settled for ever. This beautiful heavenly display of rich and brilliant colors commenced a little after 12 o'clock, whilst the blue arch above was unspotted by clouds, and on the horizon' alone rested a brownish colored stratum of vapor. A bright, pink colored light shot up from the northern horizon.

Having Kept up a uigniy entertaining and rapidly changing exhibition of this kind for something like thee 'quarters of an hour, during which time the luminous appearance occasionally furnished light enough'to read by, a grand shifting took place, and the bright and beautiful light suddenly clothed the entire firmament. It was the grandest sight we have ever witnessed, and was none the less attractive because it was a free thing and open'to inspection by every one whose eyes were open.
