That EcLIPsE.-We don't refer to the
blackness of political darkness that has fallen
upon the Cops in Iowa and Pennsylvania and
Ohio, but to that bona fdc, central eclipse OF
the sun that takes place tomorrow. The
prospect is now good for not seeing it, but
the clouds may dispense and enable us to get
a peep at the phenomenon.
The Boston Telegraph says:
On Thursday, 10Th of October. the center
of the Moons Shadow will pass over North
America and cause in part of several of the
United States central eclipse of the Sun
the first central eclipse therein since that oi
May 26th, 1854, except the one on July 18th,
1860, which was so in Washington Territory,
but not in any other State.
As the approaching eclipe will take place
at time when the sun is quite near the earth
and our satellite at its greatest possible dis
lance, the apparent diameter Of the moon
will be much less than that of the sun, and
the width and duration of the ring unusually
great. Indeed its duration where least linear
Olympia, w. T., will be about 81 minutes ;
near Nashville it will be I'm. 64sec.; near
Charleston 6m. 20sec., and where greatest,
viz: at the place where the eclipse viii be
central at noon, 81 minutes, or nearly three
longer near Olympia, (although the width oil
ring will there be 114sec., less than neal
Olympia,) in consequence of the rapid de.
crease Of the apparent motion of the moon
from the sun in longitude, whilst rising from
the horizon to the meridian, which motion
will be in one minute of time Is. S3sec. nea,
Olympia and only l5.l5sec. at the place stu.
| ated in lat. Is deg. Com. N. and long. 81 deg.
35m. west.

United States, viii be represented by near.

HoS. JoHv n. GRAY, Judge of the Fifth
Judicial District of Iowa, died at his residence
in Des MONIES upon Saturday. He was .
Young man, only thirty-fou years of age,
was an able jurist, honest, upright and pure,
q member of the NJ. E. Church, and before
him life full of promise. The RA0isser says
"In the time of his early. manhood Judge
Gray has fallen a sacrifice to his devotion to
official duty. Had he been more careful for
himself and less scrupulous in his determine
ton to do all which his onefous position i'm.
posed upon him, his life might have been
saved; but generous ambition to serve the
public faithfully, has cost him his life, and
deprived the community of one of its most
valued members.

Interesting from Savannah via Rich
mOndg

wAsHlSaroN, January l2.-Tbe Richmond
Whig of the 10th has the following items from
Savannah:
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel Of The
4th inst. publishes number OF news items
derived from a gentleman who left Savannah
on the lst inst
The most perfect order is maintained in the
city
No soldier is allowed to interfere with the
citizens in any particular.
A citizen was arrested by drunken soldier
a few days since The citizen knocked the
soldier down. The officer Of the guard, as
soon as he arrived, said nothing to the citizen,
but had the soldier taken to the barracks,
gagged and souhdly whipped for his misbe.
havior.
A drunken soldier, who undertook to create
disturbance recently, and who refused to al
low himself to be arrested, was shot down at
once by the guard.
One or two Of the insurance companies OF
Savannah are considering the project OF es-
tablishing national bank for the issue oi
greenbacks.
The custom house and postofice are being
cleaned and repaired, preparatory to the com
mencement Of business again.
The soldiers are not allowed, under any cir
cumstances whatever, to enter private resi-
dences.
The negroes in most cases are orderly and
quiet, remaining with their owners, and per
forming their customary duties
| One store with goods from the North has al
ready bean opened. Nothing but greenbacks
are in circulation. F
The churches on Sundays are well filled
with ladies' On week days, however, but few
of them are seen on the Streets
A majority Of the male population have re
manned in the city The families of most oI
the men who have left still remain
A majority of the citizens have provisions
for some time to come, butt there is q scarci
ty of wood, and General Sherman has an
nounced that he will soon remedy this last
difficulty by getting wood by the Gulf Rail
road, and hauling it to citizens.
No pass is allowed to any male person "a
60 toward the city All females caught going
toward the city are thoroughly searched.
Eleven hundred loaves of good baker
bread, which had been calculated for the sol
diers in the army, but for which authorized
agents did not call, were on Thursday turned
over to the poor association of Savannah, b.
the commitleee acting in behalf of the sol
Idiers.
Dinner was distributed TO the poor Of th
city.
1t was truly kind and providential gift
for the city is entirely out of breadstuifs o
every kind, and for days past have been una
