MISREPRESENTATION s.--Many OF our
southern exchanges complain bitterly
that the southern people are misrepre-
scented in some northern journals. They
assert that great injury is thus done to
the South: that false impressions are
produced and spread over the North; and
they say this is very wrong and very
hard to bear.
Certainly, ii Is very wrong to mlsrep-
resent the character, acts and desires OF
the people of one state rsection to those
of another; il is mischievOus at this
time particularly, when the people of all
parts of the country ought to understand
each other thoroughly. But when south
ern men complain that they are misrep-,
resented, they ought to be more carefui
to give correct views or the northern
people to their own readers ana hearers.
Now in some of the very papers which
protest most theoretically against what
they call ISLANDERS in northern journals,
we find northern men and the ruling
party in the North spoken of as the
basest and most perfidious, as desiring
the destruction and spoliaton OF the
south, as untrustworthy, disreputable,
and only to be hated by the people of
the South. -
This is very wrong, and very mis-
chieyous. II fosters the spirit of dis
trust and dislike which has already once
brought on civil war, and il prevents
that general burying of strife, and that
brotherly agreement, which all good
men now desire to see, and believe to be
necessary to our permanent peace and
prosperity. t

The Coming Eclipse.
THE ASTRONOMICAL CALCULATIONS.
,~~.J-J4>e>--~>~.~>
THE oBsCuRATIoN PARTIAL AT NORFOLK AND
TOTAL At CHARLESTON

An eclipse Of the sun will take place
on Thursday, October 18th, and will be
visible in the United States. AT the
time of the observation the sun will be
very near the earth, while the moon will
be at its greatest distance, and hence the
apparent diameter of the moon will be
much less than that of the sun, and the
middle Of the ring unusually great.
The path of the central eclipse over
the United States will be well represent
ed by nearly straight line Drawn on a
map from n point about ten miles
n. N. f. of Olympia to Jefferson,
Mo-, and thence about eight miles n.
ton to the Atlantic, and two other lines
drawn parallel thereto, toward the n. f..
and S. w. and distant thefefrom about
eighty-Iive geographical or one hundred
English miles, will include all that por-
ton of our country in which the eclipse
will be annular, or the whole of the
moon will be seen on the sun but un-
der the central line only will the ring be
of uniform width throughout.
1t will be found that very large part
of Nebraska, Missouri and Tennessee, or
all but the northeast and southwest
portion, is included within these lines,
also the northeast part of Kansas and
Alabama, the southwestern half of Ken
lucky, and the northeastern of Georgia.
the southwestern part of Iowa, Illinois,
and of North Carolina, and the whole Of
South Carolina except the northern por-
tons Of the districts of Chesterfield,
Marlboro, and Marion.
The times Of beginning, ending, &C.,
of the eclipse have been calculated for
those places at which there are observa-
tions.

his saber under an old box in the coal
bunker, and the cold steel coming in
contact with the latter end of DR.. Mudd,
made him cry out and come out. lie
made some remark as to his being in hard
luck, but two colored sentinels in his
rear urged the gentlemen forward with
out any further remarks.
Search was then made for Spangler,

Two gentlemen walking together were
