ECLIPSE OF THE Sun. = On Tuesday
next, the 18th, there will be an eclipse of
the sun which will be one of the most mem.
orable in what we call the historical era, and
the scientific world has long been engaged
in making extensive preparations to study
natural phenomenon that will not be repeat
ed in the same perfection and splendor for
several centuries On account of the great
distance of the sun from the earth, his di.
ameter will then appear comparatively small.
While that of the moon, on account of be-
ing at her nearest distance, will appear cor,
respondingly large. The moon will. more
over, be in the ascending node of her orbit
so that her shadow must cross the equator
and materially prolong the duration of the
darkness. Owing, as we have already re.
marked, to this rare union of favorable
condolences, the coming eclipse will be a
total one-extending over a zone of 1000
miles in length and 30 miles in width, and
lasting minutes and so seconds greater
space of time than seen during thousands of
years, or to be seen again in hundreds to
come.

SORE HEAD TIoKET.-A score or two of

The TRUE PosITIoN.-A democrat of the
straightest sect, referring to the Pharisees in
politics, who are forever boasting of their
record, and object to the nomination of Blair,
on the ground that he was formerly an abo.
litionist, says that it matters not what men
were, the question is, what are they now
Governor Brown, of Georgia, all through the
war was a fierce secessonist; now he is a
subserVient tool of the radicals, and if called
upon would black Thad. Stevens boots.
Blair was originally free soiler, and all
through the war fought gallantly for the
Union. The war over and peace restored,
be was in favor of the equality of all the
States, and demanded their instant restora-
ton. 1t was here that he parted company
with the radicals, who were determined that
there should be no Union unless it was SC
constituted that they could control. 1t was
for this purpose that the Freedmen's Bureau
was originated, and it was to the end that
radical power might be perpeluated, that il
was proposed to give the degraded, brutal,
lied African the ballot. The men who oppose
and have opposed this whole series of meas
ures, are in accord with the democracy, and
all attempts at creating distinctions between
men who agree on these great principles
should be frowned down. Principles, mo-
men," has ever been a democratic maxim
and bearing in mind that other maxim. tha
Gin union there is strength" we at ono,
realize how greatly the practice of raising
distinctions between democrats is to be dep
recated.

THE OVERLAND TRIP.-The overland

SOLD OUT.-The radicals at Healdsburg,
California, being satisfied that they will have
no more radical victories to celebrate, have
sold their cannon to the democrats. The
democracy Immediately turned the guns loose
for Seymour aud Blair. "Straws show which
way the wind blows" and parting with their
cannon shows that the radicals in that local
ity are given over to despair.

SEYMoUR's REcoRD.-A standing charge
with the radicals is, that Seymour opposed
the war for the Union, and threw every OBJ
stacle in the way of the government in put
ting down the rebellion. How does this
charge correspond with the fact that E. NJ
Stanton, Secretary of War, publicly thanked
Seymour for the promptitude with which he
(Seymour) had met all calls for troopsg

Nor So.-The radicals of Idaho charge
that james O'Meara, of the World, was a
sympatlizcr with the San Francisco Vigi-
lance Committee of 1856. Having lived in
San Francisco at the time, we can bear wit
ness that there is not particle of truth in
the charge The charge that Mr.. OMeara
affiliated with the Know Nothings in Cali

few words about Montana: There will be

years ago, just getting ready to go to work the
future of the country will be very brilliant. The
crops are superb I, never saw finer wheat in
any country in some instances 40 bushels per
acre. 1 had two lots of wheat in my Touring

pounds to the bushel. All other crops are very
promising; yet the great wealth of Montana lies

With pleanty of water and q fair supply of tim
/ her. and great portion of the country from
Fort Garry to the Rocky Mountains was suseep-
tible of raising good crops of wheat, particularly
within 500 miles of the mountains. The settlers
at Fort Edmonton report raising good wheat and
have a windmill for grinding. The company saw
abundance of coal, particularly on the South
Saskatchewan also, found good prospects of
! gold on the Pembina and other streams between
| the st. AIMS Mission and the Rocky Mountains.
Fort Edmonton is in latitude $50 30/, and ais
though the winters are severe, this party found
the summer delightful and invigorating, without
frosts at night. The winters are probably not
so severe as at st. Petersburg, where there are
millions of inhabitants, and where they work
their railroads successfully every winter.
COUNTRY FOB SETTLEMENT.
1t is astonishing what an immense extent of
good country there is in these mountains, about
which there is yet comparatively little known,
the traffic and business of which must flow to
the North Pacific Railroad when built. This
country, which is four degrees, or 240 miles in
WIDTH and over 1000 miles in length, and cons
tanning about l53,6OO, 900 acres of land, lying
between the Rocky Mountains and the great
lakes, great proportion of it capable ofraising
good wheat, must afford an immense traffic for
the road When this road strikes the Red River
of the North near Fort Abercrombie it will re-
ceive the trade of that stream, which flows north
into Lake Winnipeg, body of water as large as
Lake Michigan. Into the same Lake, from the
Saskatchewan, a magnificent stream, which
drains the British Territory from the Rocky
Mountains tn the Great Slave Lake and oivinO
with the Red River and the Lake ITSELF contin-
uous navigation of over 1000 miles, whose outlet
must be over this road and through Lake Supe-
rior. Lake Superior projects into the far north
west several hundred miles further than any
other navigable water, and at its head there will
be seen city rivaling any of those, which in
the ages gone by had enjoyed the commerce of
the East before it. West and northwest of it
this mighty area just described, inexhaustable in
its minerals and its agricultural productiveness,
will pour its unimagned wealth of exchanges
into and through it. What may not be predicted
of this point, which, by geographical necessity,
is to handle the products of region so vast?
Here will be the largest grain elevators seen,
and that trade which has built SO many tourists
ing cities, will build another where nature has
made depot for the most extensive grain grow
ing country in the world. And what may we
not look for on the western terminus where there
is the most magnificent inland sea and harbor in
the world, surrounded with all the great and
permanent resources of wealth, and opening out
on the Pacific, inviting the trade and commerce
of Asia the Indies and the islands of the Pacific,
the trade which has always carried the wealth
and commerce of the world in its course.
