There VIII be partial eclipse of the Sun
on Saturday, 25th day Of this month. We
make up the following particulars from the
Vicksburg Almanac, and an item in an ex-
change paper -
This eclipse will be visible throughout
the United States, with the exception of a
small portion of Oregon. Beginning 20
min. before II NJ; Middle 10 min. past
ll2; Emo 81 min. past /. The degree OF
observation will be about FIVE digits in IL
linois, nearly seven in Boston, and eleven
in Florida, gradually increasing as we APP
proach the island of Cuba, near the mid
die Of which it will be central and total.
This will be the last large eclipse of the sun
that will be visible to US until May Goth,
1854, and for many years the only one
that will be total in our vicinity. Indeed,
only twice during this century (viz. Au-
gust Z, 1869, and May %, 1907 will the
/ people of the Atlantic States see a total
eclipse. and on both of these occasions
the path of the moons shadow will be
confined to a very small of Virginia and
North Carolina.
CorroN. The accounts by the Hibernia
caused slight decline (1-8c.) in prices at
New Orleans, from the quotations in our
last paper.
The Editor of the Carrollton Democrat
says, if we desire to leave Mississippi, we
/ can leave. and he suspects ''nobody would
care. We suspect if he were to make
an attempt to leave, somebody would care,
!, and he would be informed of the fact by
sundry sheriffs and constables.
[.NatcheS Courier.
Our neighbors, the sheriffs and consta-
bles will bear witness that they have never
had occasion to pay US official visits. The
4 editor of the Courier, as we are informed
| is proof against such visits; he carries
g patent receipt namely, certificate n
: bankruptcy of discharge from his debts.
The terms of that beautiful and ad
mirable sheet, the New York Mirror, have
been reduced from three to two dollars pc
annum. This will add to its. already large
subscription list. When speak in com
nendation of the Miro allude to it
literary character. As ID political con
tents, we must say that some Of the arti
Icles seems to US decidedly British in tons
and feeling.

O. a writer in the Holly Springs Guard
urges the call of a Convention to change,
revise and amend the State Constitution.
The chief alterations proposed are,-To
abolish the Probate and Police Courts, and
vest their powers in a Board of County
Magistrates the Chancellor, Supreme,
and allother Judges, State-house officers,
State Attorneys, &c. to be elected oy the
Legislature. We are opposed-utterly OPP
posed--to these changes; and if the sug-
gestions attract attention, and become the
subject of public discussion, will give rea-
sons wbys we are so. We imagine, how
ever. that the reforms proposed by the So
Ian Of the Empire county will go unheeded.
Westake the writer to be among those of
whom he speaks who call themselves
Democrats, and do not understand its first
principles
0r BY notice from the General Land
Office, we learn that all the vacant lands
in the Grenada district, Withdrawn from
private entry in 1888 to await definite ac-
ton on the Indian claims,) will again be-
come subject to private entry on and after
the 18th May next. The following is the
i "NoT1CE TO PRE.EMProRs.
Every person claiming the right of
pre- emption to any of the lands withheld
from private entry as aforesaid, who has
heretofore filed in due time the declarato-
ry notice required by law, and who has
been prevented from making payment by
reason of such withdrawal of the lands,
is hereby notified to furnish the requisite
proof of his right, and to complete pay
ment for the same, al the Land Office al
Grenada, acithout delay, otherwise the
same may be disposed of as other public
lands"
NEw-HAMpsHIRE ELECTION. - We hear
from so many sources as to force reluc.
tant belief, that the old Granite State ha.
! temporarily fallen from her glory, and il
now in the clutches of the Wings, an,
t their allies, gang of disaffecred, piratica
counterfeit democrats. The fall will b
but temporary, and her democratic host
will again rise triumphant, enervated an
& strengthened by having cast off the cor
ruption which bore them down.

serve that Gov. Steele proclaimed Thurs
) day, Cd April, for the annual humiliation

porary exclaims-'sVerily the people of tn

little too fast to be going otherwise
than downhill. Virgil says there is a
place TO which tho descent is very easy.
Every body knows the way: which is
another very suspicious circumstance;
for when was the path of wisdom so
plain or that Of virtue so easy? We
know. ourselves, to be sure, very little
of that track by which the heights Of
glory and power are climbed; but we
have always heard that the ascent was
steep. rough and slow. Possibly,
however. the great, good and brave
have heretofore given themselves much
useless pain and toll: statesmen Of in
lerior qualities are going TO show us a
short cut. Huzza, then, for the .'Pro-
gress!' Is it not written that with
the foolish things Of the earth the wise
shall be confoundedl And when be-
fore did the signs of that prophecy so
thicken about any people9-lNational
