The Daily Dispatch: July 6, 1861., [Electronic resource], Won't fight. (search)
The New Comet. --The newly arrived celestial visitant, which is now to be seen every evening, has a nucleus as large as the apparent disc of Venus at her greatest brilliancy, and also the usual hazy look of comets. The tail extends toward the zenith, nearly in the direction of the star Vega, crossing a line extending from "the pointers" to the North star. It is to the right of the pointers, (the two right hand stars in the "dipper,") and is so near the polar star that it does not set beneath the horizon. We presume this is the comet which once put all Europe in consternation and sent a monarch to a monastery, and which has been looked for the past four or five years.--This is the greatest comet seen since the big one made its appearance a few years since. For several nights it appears to have been increasing in size. People who have attentively watched its course think it will finally burst in the vicinity of Washington and overwhelm the guilty conspirators assembled there.
