Pswm Ghs Alhomy D@2g ASasTssRr, DE WITT CLINTON.

The funeral ohsequirs are over, and the grave has closed On De Witt Clinton. Stand ing, as it were, between the living aud the dead. we caanOt yet appreciate hts loss. We cannot vet realise ms removal. But the over Oouinxs Ofa heart which honoured him while living, and mOurns him dead, may Occu- py brief space to pour forth its unaffected sorrow.
 Clinton was the son of an honoured soldier of the revolu ion, and nephew of another soldier and statesman Ofthat sublime period. He was at the head of the first class that grad uated at Columbia College, after the war oi l78S had ended, and was thus the first pres ent of science and literature to our republican institutions. He embarked early in political life, under the guidance of Gov. George Cln- ton, and from that time to the present has been before the community as public man. Rising from one office to another, until he reached the hlgest in our gift, his talents de- veIoped themselves to the admiration of his native s.ate and country. His views were statesman-Iike-he wielded party not merely for it's accustomed purposes, but to advance the permanent welfare and lasting glory of the community which had elevated him. So seftled was the conviction that he was not mere politician, but looked to nObler and more enduring hOnOurs, that he often numbered a. mong his supporters, those who differed from him 0n the details of national or state policy. l Ii was his boast and should now be our pride, that on more than one occasion he was up-
 borne by the people alone, to place and
 power.
 He was a scholar of no ordinary acquire ments a man of genius in all its command ing attributes; statesman who disdained all the petty arts of the demagogue; patriO, l who loved his country and died in her ser vice. His is the fame that "follows after," enduring, expanding, increasing. He fell 1 as great man should wish to fall. in the full
 possession of intellectual vigor, ''with his buckler on," administering the will and
 yielding the destinies of mighty common 1 wealth.
 This is not the time to compare De Witt Clinton with his contemporaries in the repub
 lie. But as the invidious distinction has been taken. where, we ask, is the living individual
 whose public life can bear the scrutinizing ex-
 animation of history like this |! We are con- tent. however, to take him as the GREAT MAN OF THE STATE eF NEw-YoRK. We
 will garner up his fame-we will transmit his memory 10 our cniiuren. so tnat Wheu tutute
 generations shall ask for his monument, they
 may be told, 1.-THE STATE OF NEW YORK, ITS GLORY-lTS PROSPERI- TY--ITS IMPROVEMENT IN SCI
 ENCE, LITERATURE, AND THE ARTS---ALL THESE WERE EOS | TERED BY

From the Charleston. Mercury.

Eclipses of the Sun.-It IS said that we shall have no remarkable eclipses of the sun, although some partial ones, except in 1883, 1886. and l842. In 1847 we shall have the famous annuIar eclipse of St. Dennis. This eclipse, it is said. :" is impatiently looked for ward to by astronomers" As they cannot hasten the motion of the Heavenly bodies, they may as well keep cool for an event that isto take place twenty years hence. How many now looking forward can calculate-nOt the eclipse, but their own extent of life Man is so prone to anticipate--to live. as it were. the creature, not of the present, but ofthe .fu- tare, that philosophers should cease to chide in the multitude what they cannot fail to dis cover in themselves. To calculate the transit of star, or the speed of a horse--to reason on the results of crop orsof a revoluton- are only different modes of expressing the same passion for futurty. These teachings of the soul to spring beyond this '' visible d. urnal srhere"-while they exhibit the god like ori:, of our nature, too frequently make us forget that they who sow" are not al- was $ they who reap'-that the pioughman and the star-gazer may both he under the sod long before the green promise of the year shall salute the eye of the one. or the brilliant orbs above him fulfil the calculations of the Oth- CT, according to V" the ordinances of Hea- yen."
