The Daily Dispatch: July 10, 1861., [Electronic resource], The comet. (search)
t was a magnificent sight, such as I never expected to see. "Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty!" On Wednesday night the tail was vasily diminished in length, and on Thursday night the celestial visitor had vanished from view. Will Lieut. Maury, or some of your savants, inform us what comet this was? Was it, as many suppose, the comet of Charles V.? T. A Charlottesville correspondent takes a political view of the comet, and deems its visit at this time portentous. Thus the readers of the Dispatch are informed that-- In the reign of Manfrichi, of Italy, the appearance of a comet was regarded as a certain sign of the death of the King, and a change of Empire. The prediction was verified; Manfrichi was assassinated, and the crown passed to Charles D'Anjou. Now, I do not wish death to any one; still I must confess that it would be truly gratifying to see Jefferson Davis wielding the sceptre of power at Washington, instead of Abraham Lincoln. M.
