Col. RoACH.-Amon the mem-
bers Is Col. 1. J. Roach, Floater from
the Madison and Carroll district. Col.
Roach has been in, the Legislature
several years as a Republican. He is
q gentleman Of ability, and was noted
IN that body as one OF the few un-
fiinching advocates of liberal meas
ures and determined opponents of ras-
cality., He never ceased to fight cor
ruption; yetso demeaned himself as to
win acknowledgement ofeventhose
whose bhd conduct he daily exposed
and many ofwhose infamous schemes
he thwarted. The day his people re-
turned him to the legislature they did
q good work. 1t is an act Of Poetic
justice that Col. Roach, who through
the dark hours, while, corruption
was sweeping over, the State,
stood at his post, almost q soli-
tary sentinel, warning the people of
the designs of the enemy, should be
remembered in the hour of victory

Speaking of Louisville and her
representation in the next Legislature
arecent number of the Paducah Her
aid pays the following handsome
compliment to Gen. Duke, a gentle
man whose energy, ability, and ge-
NAL manners will give n command
ing Influence in the body to which
he has been elected. Indeed, public
attention is already generally turned
toward him, and large as the eXpec-
tations may be, we venture 10 say
they will not be disappointed:
We have just had chat with n
friend lately returned from n short
trip To Louisville, who is full of en-
thusiam regarding that city and her
future prosperity. We must frankly
confess tender feeling for the city Of
the Falls, and honestly think she is
destined to be one of the greatest
cities, If not the greatest city, of the
Southwest.
In politics she already wields n
most potent influence in our legis-
lative halls, and from the present in
dications she will have stlll greater
influence In our next Legislature. 1t
is now generally conceded that she
intends adding the chivaigous Gener-
al Basil Duke 10 her list of represen.
tativos. In this She does honor TO
herself, and for il we thank her most
heartily. General Duke belongs to mo
pent up Utica" but is the glorious
property of the whole State; and we
venture but little in predicting that
before the session Is fairly under head
way, he will WELD rs great an inilu-
ence in our next Legislature rs any

TIE ECLupsE.

We were one of many thousand
who witnessed this wonderful phe-
nomenon. 1t w,,s indeed sublime
and deeply, terribly impressive to be.
hold. We did not see the first con-
tact, which occurred about % minutes
past 4o'ciock, but saw the dark, coal
black body of the moon after it had
plunged iato-the fiery disc of the sun
some two digits, OF. about one-sixth OF
the distance across, and watched with
deepest interest the graz, !. exhibition
until its close; allowing nothing to
escape our observation that would be
interesting to record. We were in
hopes that it would be total here, and
that an opportunity would be afford
ed us Of seeing the corona, Bailey's
beads and the rose-colored protuher-
ances which were seen along the path
Of total observation, but we were not
gratified. The fiery crescent which,
like a cup, held the dark body of the
moon as the centre lines of. each came
together, absorbed the lesser rays re-
fleeted by those wonderful solar phe-
tomena, and they were lost to view.
We noted the time of contact with
several well-de6ned spots-one on
the lower limb was black and rugged
In outline, with a We'll defined shad-
ow or penumbra around it. We
would like to have measured 1t, but
we had no micrometer. Although
apparently small, it must have, been
MANY miles in diameter, for the dark
body of the sun could be distinctly
seen down its depths, and through the
luminous coats which surround his
mighty body. A number of smaller
spots were scattered over his face, and
long one, narrow and Irregular in
outline, was seen above them-each
one of them at different intervals of
time were immersed in the dark body
of the moon, then reappeared, burst
ing upon the vision In undiminished
radiance. At the time of the greatest
observation, we shall never forget the
cold, ashy shade which spread like a
death-hue upon the faces of those
around lis, and upon the landscape.
This, however, lasted but short
time; for as the crescent increased,
the ashy, cold tints changed to warm
CT hues, and nature soon resumed her
genial, smiling face again. f} bn''
We saw the last parting kiss of the
moon and the sun-thcy babe each
other a long farewell-for not until
this century shall have passed away,
and the new one fairly begun, will
they meet again as they did on Aug
ust 18th, 1869. 1t was an imposing
sight to see them slowly separating.
AS the right edge Of the moon passed
on toward the east, the bright line of
circle of the sun broken by 1t COM
menced closing. The chord of the
arc shortened every moment oftime;
slowly the points were coming to-
now nearer and nearer; now
almost together; now hanging by a
single point now altogether gone.
And thus ended the great eclipse at
u O'Clock, 10 minutes and % seconds.
