deeply interested in a paragraph elsewhere,
which forebodes any number Of dire disasters to
befall the inhabitants of this unlucky world du-
ring the eclipse of tho sun to-day. For fear Of
untoward accident in this region of country,
we would advise that numberless host of de-
linquepts upon our books to hasten their steps

aswe have undoubted astronomical authority
just received by the grape vine telegraph) for
stating that the effects of an eclipse are pecu-

can only be counteracted by clear receipt from

Government Aid for tho Blue Ridge Bail
road. -. =. 1

The following is the full text Of the r:eam-
bic and resolutions introduced by Mr., Warren
d. Wilkes one Of our Representatives, in the
lower-branch of the State Legislature, asking
for aid from the United States Government for
the Blue Ridge Railroad. The Columbia cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier says that
"as soon as it shall have passed both Houses,
as it doubtless will, certified! copies will be
forwarded to Washington. The friends of the
road are sanguine of its effect, and hopes are
entertained that the General Government will
aid this important and long desired enterprise" ;"
The preamble and resolutions are as follows ::
Whereas the State of South Carolina, in con-
junction with portion of the citizens Of Geor-
estay endeayoreG for many years to effect a
communication with the great States Of the
Northwest by constructing the Blue Ridge
Railroad. And whereas, this route furnishes a
connecting link between the waters of the At.
iantic and the nayigable streams of the North
weslt, land whereas millions of acres of land
now lying fallow along the line of road in South
Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee
aad Kentucky, adapted to farming purposes,
and mines teeming with gold. silver, iron and
copper, now unworked, will by its construction
be made productive by means of having a
transit to market for their products, thus ad-
ding to the taxable wealth. Of the nation and
lessening proportionately the taxes upon the
people; and, whereas Congress has heretofore
granted MD to construct railroads of no greater
importance to the nation than is the Blue Ridge
Railroad Therefore, be it . ~
Resolred, That the Congress of the United
States be respectfully requested to grant the
Blue Ridge Railroad Company such aid upon
such conditions as the importance of the work
demands, and to Congress shall seem meet
Resotred, That the Senators; in Congress be
INSTRUCTED, and our Representatives be reques-
ted, to use the most earnest efforts to secure the
necessary aid from the Congress of the United
States for the completion Of this road as the
true route from the Northwest to the Atlantic
seaboard as measure of practical recoustruc-

Total Eclipse Of; the Sun. .

The almanacs and newspaper paragraphs in,
form the public that total eclipse Of the sun
will occur to-day (22nd Of December,) and that
it will sbe one of, the greatest eclpses Of mod
ern times. Asit willbeinvisitte in the United
States, we do not think it necessary to make an
extended explanation, of the eclipse. The line
of total obscuration runs through Spain, Al
giers, Sicily, Greece, Turkey, and into Russia.
But the prediction Of attendant circumstances
makes the fact peculiarly interesting. The
earth will be in direct line:with the sun, moon
and several other principal planets, and some
of these will occupy such q position as to exer-
else a most powerful influence upon each other,
and also upon the earth. Among the effects
upon this mundane sphere, We have the COM
forting assurance that earthquakes will be ex-
pcrienced, and that tidal waves, storms, hurri-
canes and volcanic eruptions will take place.
Astronomers do not tell us that this continent
will be exempt from these visitations, but on
the contrary predict that the waters of the At
lantic are to be greatly agitated, and of course
close proximity indicates storms, earthquakes
and other pleasant recreations. The people Of
Canada are promised frst-class earthquake,
and we read wig. cQiaplacency that Spain, .Por-
tugal and Africa are included in the list of
special sufferers. All of these predictions are
drawn from the results...of the carth's .similar
position at the time of the total eclipse on the
10Th Of August, in the year 1868, when entire
cities were destroyed by earthquakes and tidal
waves, .,f-.,..

pS Coy. Scott and the militia seem 10th to
part company. 1t was announced few weeks
ago that the Governor had determined to dis
arm the militia, disband the constabulary, and
disperse generally the armed bands which we're
organized to secure his reelection. But the
constabulary is not entirely defunct, and We
have evidence in our own community that the
militia still possess their arms and ammuni-

One of the Many Evils.

The Columbia Daily Union, in an editorial
advocating the reduction of salaries now paid
to certain County officers, has this significant
paragraph: .-
"The mistake in our political system is, that
every office in the State must be made to sup
port the person who fills it. When man ac-
cepts political office he thinks he is no longer
bound to work, but must make his living from
his position" ,
We fully agree with our cotemporary, and
indeed we are prepared to 60 further, and say
that not only is it mistake in our political
system, but it is an egregious error and unmiti-
gated evil, introduced and fostered by the party
represented by our Radical eotemporary.
Many of the official duties. for which large
salaries have been paid unde he present State
government, were formerly discharged by pa
triotic public-spirited citizens without cost to
the State. And this, too, under Democratic
rule, SO much abused by the Radical speakers
and writers. 1t may be neither wise nor prac-
ticable to re-estabfsh this custom, but it GER
tainly is desirable that many salaries should be
materially reduced. The Radical party is re-
sponsible for their introduction, and thepeople
will hold that party to account for the centin-
uance of this great wrong, as it has control of
all departments of the State government. The
Editor of the Union is laboring diligently to
secure reformation in this and other particu-
lars, but there is every indication that his
warning voice will not be needed by his po-
litical brethren in the Legislature. And we
very much fear that this one of the many evils
brought upon our people by the Radical party
will be perpetuated by its members.

were charged with unlawful interference in the
recent election, appeared before U. S. Commits
