Letter from a Fenian,

Mr.. EDITOR IL feel proud to see the loyal
patriots of my country endeavoring to rescue
and redeem the land Of their sires and atfec-
despot who has for innumerable years been
exercising ruthless tyranny by incalculable
deeds of stupendious despotism over the inno-
cent and humble, the babe and hoary heade d.
But the tyrants days are numbered and his
power fast disappearing, like atranstory shower:
The abettors must succVmh, for Erin will and
must be free. The dark hours of horror
and rapine must cease. Vanity and pride
must i1ee-the rotten walls will cTumble down
for they are now totteEipg on their rotten basis.
Let England mediate and consult the oracle
of Delphi Sho IS now on the hank Of the
precipice. which is ready to break and fall
from under her feet-so Erin shall and
must be free. The obnoxious reptiles, like
poisoned snakes, are writhing around their
slippery COIL, wild ard trsn:sled in their last
contortiops They have profaned our hallowed
affairs depraved the SOCIAL morals Of our coun-
try, taken from us all that was dear and
precious, bereft US of all cnjoyments, and left
us nude, banished our sires and brethren to
far dis. ant hames, separated us from friends
| and relatives, eSlled and banished us into the
seclusons Of solitude, bound to toll for life,
door mercenaries bound down never to return
home TO wifs, fsieSSs af eaurty siii time shall
end our existence These things appear in
dreams and visions before my view, and when
I awake from my slumber and reflect on these
horrors MOST barbarops and savage, it makes
me shed tears of unavailing sympathy:
But now, henceforward and fsrcycr we shal
never bow nor humble to the shrine of tyran
ny and despotism. The demon Of insanity has
troubled our country by throwing out asper-
sions of calumny and slaDder with poisoned
panss of perhdy and coI;agian. Chose whs

THE ECLIPSE TO-DAY.

The most remarkable eclipse of the sun that
will occur during the present century will take
place to-day. A eotemporary says, should the
dav be a clear one, this will be magnificent
and grand spectacle-one that cannot fail to
impress the beholder with the awful grandeur
of the unis serse and the omnipotent majesty OF
Him who controls this movements Of the heav.
enly bodies But should the day be rainy or
stormy, We will probably see midday turned
into night; the combined darkness Of the clouds
and the eclipse will make it necessary to use
candles to read by, and unreasoning animals
will act as if night had overtaken them out Of
season.
In many respects this viii be the most re.
markablc of eclpses that will occur in the
United States during the present century. 1t
will be annular; that is, the apparent SIZE of
the moon will not be large enough to conceal
the whole disc Of the sun. Therefore, at all
places where the eclipse will be annuar, the
edge Of the sun, all around the dark body Of
the moon, will resemble o red-hot ring of iron.
II the air he clear, several planets and fixed
stars will be visible in different parts of the sky
at the time of the annular eclipse. The planet
Venus will be seen about 80 degrees west of
the sum- The planet Jupiter will be seen about
60 degrees east Of him, and Regulus will be
seen about 80 degrees west of him. Ursa Ma.
jor near the north pole OF the heavens, and
Splca about IL degrees west of the sun, and
Arctqrus about 30 degrees north of him, and
many others in different parts of the heavens
will be distinctly visible to the naked eye, if
the air be very serene.
Not many persons have had an opportunity
of seeing the sun either totally or annularly
eclipsed; therefore, all the particulars of this
eclipse have been calculated with much prolix.
ity and care in order that all persons who will
then be living may witness a grand phenome-
non ofpature, which in all probability they may
never witness again.

the stability and responsibility OF merchants.
In the history of Cairo there is NOT recorded
the failure of single business or commercial
firm. Panics, speculation and numberless
other causes have induced merchants of other
cities to suspend payment, which materially al
fected the financial standing Of creditors, but
ND to the present writing our merchants have
stood inyulaerable against all such, and no
metropolitan dealer can rake Up bills against
::.,solvent Cairoites. Can the Courier truth
fullv make the same boas;2 We challenge it
to do so.
The Courier speaks of ague and fevers prevail
ing to all alarming extent here and materially al
fecting the transaction of business. This state
ment is also wide of the truth, Cairo being as
exempt f7oa, these diseases as is any city OF
equal population in Illinois or Indiana.
The Courier styles our electrotype tslap
wooden one, and whines piteously because
Evansville has not a position thereon. The
omission was certainly criminal on the part OF
the draughtsman and artist, and we trust that
the fearful castigation administered by the
Courier upon their delinquent heads will not be
seen nor felt by them. Evansville desires to be
advertised. She did something in that way Tor
herself on the Tennessee River in May last, and
the investment did not pay. She now desires
the assistance of the Cairo TINES. We are
sorry that we neglected to place Evansville on
the map-but then if ws had not, the space oc-
cupied thereby would have crowded all other
matter from our columns-but as q recompense
for our remissness, we give Evansville the ben
eft of the above notice, gratuitously.
In conclusion we would romind our friend Of
tho Courier of the fabled 6og which barked at
the moon Cairo still moves upon its axle.
