From the Vicksburg Times.1
 Another War.

One of the "so-called' religious pa pcfs of the North, is already clamoring for another war. It says: "Our next war will be between Liberty and Ro- manism." Exactly! Having ruined the country, drenched the land with blood, covered the earth with graves, and filled it's homes with mourning, pious, puritanic New England would be delighted to have a religious war, in order that they may indulge in the pleasant pastime of burning a few thousands of our Catholic fellow-citi- zens, especially those of them who live in the South. Radical Puritanism can never forgive his Holiness, Plus TX, for the manly, Christian, and gentle. manly letter he wrote to Jefferson Davis.
 It can never forgive the holy men who followed the armies of the Con- federate States as Chaplains, and met the storm of battle, or the horrors of the hospital, shrived the dying and comforted the sick and wounded. IL cannot and will not forgive or forget the constant and heroic women, those devoted sisters of charity and mercy, who did so much to rob war of horror and to strip death of it's terrors.
 The opportunity to sack few con- vents, to hang few priests, to drown or burn few hundred dcfenceless Christian women, is, to moral, God fearing New England, most alluring temptation, and for one, we shall not be astonished to sec a war against Ro- manism inaugurated any day.

Tlle Eclipse.

The total eclipse of the sun, on Au- gust Is, 1868, will be of greater dura- ton than any eclipse for the next two centuries. While the sun is almost at the greatest distance from the earth, the moon is nearest the earth, and the moons shadow will pass near the earth's equatOr-all circumstances which increase the eclipse either in duration or in extent of the earth's surface. The total eclipse will com mence a little past sunrise at Alden, (Red Sea,) passes during the forenoon through India, and ends in the evening in New Guinea. The longest duration of the total eclipse will be six minutes and fifty seconds--a duration greater than it has been for more than a thou sand years back.
 Most of the European governments have resolved to send scientific expe- ditions to India, etc., for the observa- ton of this rare phenomenon. The English expedition left England some time ago; the French expedition will be sent to Cochin China, and Malacca, and will be aided by several vessels of the French navy; the Austrian expe- hilton will go to Alden. The Parlia- ment of the North German Union vot- ed Sl6,000 for an expedition, and even the almost bankrupt papal government will send an expedition to India with the renowned Father Secchi. Whether the United States will be represented Is not known.-N. 0. Crescent.
