EXTRAORDINARILY cLIPsE-The total eclipse
Of the Sun, which is to take place on the 18th
OF August next, will present such a long dura-
tion OF darkness, that astronomers are antici-
pating II with unusual interest. From near
Alden the central line Of the eclipse extends to
the Southern eoast Of New Guinea, crossing
Hindoostan, the Bay OF Bengal, the Malsyan
pcninsular, and the Gulf of Siam on the way;
and at certain places on this line the duration
Of total darkness will be at $40.
At the date In question the moon will not be
more than six hours from its perigee, while
the sun will not be far from its aposee; o two
fold condition which increases the apparent
diameter Of the moon, and shows the apparent
diameter of the sun, nearly at the smallest.
Hence the pro longed darkness. Such a chance
occurs but rarely, and we cannot wonder that
strong desire exists to make the most of II In
endeayors to solve certain highly important
questions In physical science. Unluckily, the
southwest monsoon will be at Its full blast on
the 10th OF August, which, with its heavy
clouds, will render observation either uncef.

From South America.

NEW YORK, June 2l.-Rio Janeiro adviees
to May % state that the Brazilian finance re-
port shows the cost OF the Paraguayan war to
be one hundred and twenty-one million dol
lars, and tho total debt OF the Empire two
hundred and forty-seven millions. The Min
lister of Finance declares a foreign loan i'm
practicable while war lasts.
The news from Paraguay is to the effectthat
Lopez is arming women, and has 1000 OF them
already on the Libicuay, under Eliza Lynch,
an Irish woman. They are charged with the
duty Of guarding the communications. Twen-
ty-hve hundred Paraguayans assaulted the
Brazilian position on the Chaco, on the &th Of
May, but were repulsed with the loss of one
sixth Of their number.
Another account states that the engagement
was In the field, and victory is claimed for
both sides. Tho loss on PAraguayan side Is
reported at 800, and OF the Brazilinns at 400
to 600.
Tho Emperor OF Brazil opened the General
Assembly on May 0. In the courSe OF his
speech he stated that the United States Gov.
eminent again offered mediation for the re.
establishment Of peace with Paraguay, which
however, was declined with thanks. .r
Some reasons existing at the time, sire myth.
ened by the late triumphs, prevented tho ae-
ceptance OF the first offer.
Buenos Ayres sdvices Of May 4 state bat
the result OF the Presidential election in he
Argentine Confederation Is yet unknow y,
though It occurred on April Il.
A serious revolution was insugurated by
one Maxine Perez, a subaltern officer.
The Buenos Ayres Legislature was opened
the 18th by Governor Alsina, who strongly cen.
sured the war with Paraguay.
Port-au-Prince correspondence OF June 8
states that the revolutionists co npletely en-.
circle the city, but they do not appear disposed
to make general attack. Salnaye's forts con-
tinued the hombardment Of them, and he seems
more than ever determined to resist to the
last.
United States Consul HOLSTER, Commander
Eastman, of gun-boat Penobscot, and numer-
ous others, made visit Of courtesy to Sal
| nave. Letters from Venezuela state that
General Saloon and family are safe at Curacao,
and that General Moragcs was advancing on

"UP THE WRONG TREE."-The New York
World, which sometimes works itself In little
isOrId Of trouble, just for the fun Of working
Itself out again, publishes 3 letter from John
A. Gilmer, esq, of Richmond, Va, who comes
out In favor OF Mr.. Chase as the nominee OF
the Democratic party for the Presidency; and
the World states that Mr.. Gilmer was formerly
a representative in Congress from the "old
North State" but is now a resident OF yirgi nis.
The World has got hold OF the wrong Gilmer,

him, by sending Its Marble to Hades to bring
Gilmer up to "taw" from another porid to play
marbles in the game for Chase.
