SOLAR ECLIPSE OF MAY 90.

Eclipses Of the Sun and Moon, but more
pariculsrly those Of the Sun, are among
the most interesting and imposing pheDom-
ena Of the heavens, and have been atien-
lively studied and observed from the earl-
est ages Of antiquity. Among barbarous
nation, even al the present day. where the
ight Of science has not yet dawned, they
are ever regarded with fear and terror, as
being htrbingcrs Of evil oryisible mtnifcst-
atoms Of the wrath Of an offended Deity
But by the astronomer, and all admirers Of
tls sublime ana beautiful ~ Nature, they
are viewed with the highest interest. not
only a. verifying the tfutb Of their cllcula-
iions, bat a. contributing 10 establish be-

Moan WEBsTER-PKFEssoR Stowe Under
date Of May 5th, 1854, Professor Stowe, of
Andover, says:
81 am decidedly in isvor of Webster, for the
following reasons, to wit:
al. Webster is the most uniformly asalogical
and self consistent.
ss2 His system falls in most completely with
the te ndencies of the language; and ifl any
thing he goes be yond present usage, it is in the
right direction, and the usage will soon overtake
him.
SO He has present possession of the ground
more than any one. In the United States he is
the authority every where, except in Boston;
and even there, more than any other one. In
England he has more authority than any other
one, and is continually gaining.
90 He is the great american Phiioiooist, the
most learned and devoted scholar in his special
department that the English language knows !;
and for this reason, other things being equal he
deserves the preference.
"5 If we would have uniformity we must
adopt Webster, for he cannot be displaced; but
others may be-

TROUBLE AT WAsHiSGroN.-1nes ossiPing
correspondent of the N. Y. Herald of Mond
makes the following remarks on supposed trou
bles in the Cabinet at Washington. We give
them for what they are worth:
There are rumors again of troubles with
Marcy on the Cuba question. He holds back,
while Gushing and Davis are pushing forward
They are crowding Marcy hard. He may be
crowded out; in which event, perhaps, Mr..
Charles O'Connor will probably take Cushing's
place as Attorney General, while Gushing may
be advanced in the State Department. He is
after il, any how, in full cry II is thought,
too, O'Connor has been retained in office with
a view of lifting him higher, and for the pur-
pose of patching up reconciliation with the
Hards for it is supposed to carry off the Softs
upon a Presidential cruise of his own They
are not going to have all the fun in Europe
The times here are big with stirring events, and
about eight months gone at that

Mr. EDITOR: l was present on TUESDAY
evening at the organization of the Dubuque
Philharmonic Society in this city. The object
Of said society (if one may judge nom Ike con
stitution and by-laws) is to cultivate knowi
edge Of the Science of music.
Permit me through the medium OF your col
umns TO enquire OF the movers in this excellent
scheme, to improve the taste Of our citizens and
prc vide a rational, social and innocent source
Of amusement for us aud one too which all
lovers Of harmony have SO much desired, how
this is to he accomplished
Is it expected to have permanent existence
and form nucleus around which all lovers OF
music may unite for their mutual improve
ment?
Is it designed TO combine knowledge OF vo'
cal and instrumental music
What measures are they taking to provide
funds to defray the incidental expenses which
must necessarily be incurred?
Isit expected to procure good Piano to AID
The vocal department? and what exertions are
beino made to interest the citizens at large in
the Enterprises.
By giving the above place in your paper
you will oblige,

The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1854-06-07

The Union advocates the immediate posse s.
sion of Cuba as the great part which it is duty
as well as the intent of the U to perseverlng
iy labor for. The immediate clause is inter-
preted that we are on tins eve OF highly impor-
ant transactions with Spain. This, article it is
understood here if official, is designed to fore
shadow the policy the government has marked
out to pursue. Spain disclaims any intention
Of insulting the American flag.
The free regulations of Havana are to be
modified. Lieut. Beale is said to be $1,000
behind in his government accounts

A FEARFUL WALrz.-A correspondent Of
the London Times, in giving an account of the
bombardment Of Odessa, says: When with
in about 1000 yards, each steamer delivered the
FIRE Of her enormous guns, then wheeled round
in a circle of about half a mile in diameter,
each taking up the fire in succession. Thus
they kept wheeling and twisting about like so
many walters. One of the English steamers
was set on FIRE by the red hst shot from the fort
ress, but the fire was got under without much
damage. The dock-yard, which was set on
fire, burnt for two days and two nights and
vast amount of naval stores must have been de-
stroyed. During the fight Russian frgats
was set on FIRE, and blew up with, it was thought
a very great loss Of life.

up the news in reference to the troubles with
the Indians, as follows:
From the official reports, as you will see in
the Santa Fe papers, there were killed Of Lieu,
Davdson's command, twenty two men, ant
twenty seven wounded. For this, as well o.
other deeds of theirs, Gen. Garland, sided b,
the civil authorities, is determined to destroy
or in the language of Kit Carson, ,ohip out this
band OF Jicarilla Apaches. Acting Governor
! Messervy has issued his proclamation, threat
ening those who aid or assist these Indians with
all the punishment he is authorized to inhIct.-
Col. Cooke has recovered some of the proper.
ty lost by the United States troops in their for
mer battles. and at last accounts was in close
pursuit OF the retreating savages. A failure
here VIII prove disastrous to the Americans and
Mexcans throughout New Me xico, as well as
those who cross the plains to Oregon or Cali
fornla In fact the emigrants have been threat
ened already, and before the season is over we
may hear of many depredations if not loss OF

time entirely in the power of band Of the
Cheyennes, and if the conductor and his mer
