ECLrrSE or THE Moon The moon was at it,
full last night, and blazing away with its round,
brassy, fiery face in a sky literally without
cloud and laden with the lingering hot vapors of
the day before About half past one--as those
who, not being able to rest upon hot beds, had
to rise for air and gaze out into the hot sky can
testify the earth's shadow began to fall upon
the northern part of her hemisphere, and soon
took a pretty sizeable slice from it. 1t was
partial eclipse, announced by the almanac
makers and faithfully fulfilled by the three
heavenly bodies, sun, earth and moon, upon
whose movements astronomers act ms a sort of
police, permitting nothing to be done by them
in an underhand way, and especially exercising
a strict espionage upon their nightly dongs,
preventing any sky -larking among them not
authorized by the books So the eclipse of last
night went off in an orderly, peaceable manner,
and the moon, with her = limb y refreshed by
the temporary shelter from the suns fury, soon
walked on her way in her usual complacent
manner. [Phil. Eve. Bulletin, 2lst

Our attention has been called to an article,
which appeared in our columns yesterday morn
ing, with regard to some preliminary meetings
for the selection of delegates to represent the
city in the Congressional Convention to be held
at Donaldsonville on the LIST of August ensuing
1t has been suggested to us that the article in
question may be construed as personal and Of
fensve, and that it has already been accepted
by two or three parties as of that tendency,
We can only say that it was written without any
personal reference or intention, and that we ex-
ceedingly regret that it should have been inter
preted to possess any. We desired merely to urge
the expediency of having full meetings in the sew
eral wards, and such a selection by them as would
be most agreeable to all members of the party
We are pledged to no individual interests in the
ensuing election. and shall sustain with our best
ability the nominees of the party, whoever they
may be All we ask is that they may be com
petent and popular gentlemen-men who can
draw the full party vote.
