ECLIPSE OF THE MOON. The total eclipse of the moo Tuesday evening last was bea to behold. The night was clear the sky serene. There was as and full a view as could hsve bee

mosphere, the probability is the moon would be entirely lost to view, and its place unmarked, during the total eclipse.

But what of this phenomenon 1 To our eye and mind it is a subject of deep interest. We may hear of astronomical calculations, and pass them off as some* thing that may be realized—as some* thing that may, or may not happen.— But when we see with our own eyes, the result of the calculation, predicated upon the existing laws of motion ot the heavenly bodies, taking place at the vory moment of time designated, we are lost in admiration of the ability of man, thus so exactly to calculate and give the time of the event, as well as in wonder and awe of the great God, and Creator of all things, who from the hollow ofhis hand has thus cast forth the earth and the moon into the expanse of space with a course and direction, from which they never swerve or vary. How beautiful 1 how sublime how awful I is the contemplation 1 The earth is 96,000,000 of miles from the sun—having an orbit round that luminary of nearly 600.000,000 of miles. The moon is 240,000 miles from the oarth, and travels in its own orbit about 2,300 miles each hour of time. Yet so unerring is the rule by which these bodies are moved and governed through the will and power of the great Architect, that man, finite man, can make the calculation, of the point in space, where either earth or moon shall be found at any given moment of time.

is true the human intellect can

calculate almost anything that is subject to, and governed by fixed and positive rules—but who is to allow himself the power for a moment to comprehend, or to reach in the force or depth of his mind, the mysteries of the works of the Creator, as displayed in the harmonious movements of the heavenly bodies 1 •Such were some of the reflections passing our thoughts while silently contemplating the beautiful spectacle of the eclipso on Tuesday evening#? .$*=$»#

CALIFORNIA.

The latest news from California is by the Star of the West. She brings advices from Stn Francisco to the 9th ult, and 9302,000 in specie. She connected with the steamer Uncle Sam, which was sixteen days making the passage.

Gov. Welsh, the President of the Board of Land Commissioners, returned in the Star of the West. K'sfe

The general news from California by tktis arrival is not of much interest. The miners were generally doing well. The accounts from the Kern river mines are contradictory as ever.! sa&trHMt.

Tho municipal electlorTfn Sucra'mento resulted in the etection of the whole Know-Nothing ticket, except one of the Aldermen. James L. English was elected Mayor.

The Grand Jury of San Francisco brought presentments against several members of the City Council, for voting on the question of funding tho city, in which they were personally interested. They were held to bail in 92500 each.

WEATHER—RIVER.—Within two or three days we have been favored with refreshing and soaking rains. The country now is in charming condition for vegetation. The Wabash is on the rise, and in first rate navigable order for good aized steamers.

SUMMER ARRANGEMENT.*' By reference to advertisement it will be seen that two passenger trains will be run each day (Sundays excepted) on the Terre Haute and Richmond Rail Road, morning and noon lines, commencing May 10th.

Col. Benton has addressed a letter to the National Intelligencer, in which he avers, upon competent testimony, that there is no war with the Indians on the Irontier that the arming of the new regiments it merely a pretext for jprapa-

States Economist estimates the amount of gold furnished to the commercial world during the six years, since the new mines were discovered, at 400,000,000. The influence of these vast gold supplies, is proved to be very different from tho anticipations of many financiers, who predicted a great immediate depreciation. The relative value of gold to silver by the English law of 1816 was 1 to 14.2875, and the actual value has been as follows: In 1851,1 to 15,1399 in January 1855, 1 to 15,1499 in March 1855, 1 to 14,2326.* It will be seen, that as compared with silver, gold has been constantly increasing in value. This anomaly is atributed to the great demand of silver during a jie* riod of a war in Europe and China, where the silver standard is retained.— The increased supply of gold has scarcely been sufficient to fill its place and consequently that metal has not only retained its value, but shows considerable appreciation. The Economist thinks that when the war is over, silver will find its way back, and gold will neces* sarily depreciate.

Municipal Election in Indianapolis. It appears that Mr. VANCE, the People's nominee for Mayor in Indianapolis, was beaten at the election on Tues* day lest. Tho Journal of Wednesday morning holds forth in the following strain: is ••We are beaten—delivered, bound hand and fbot, into the hands of the Philistines. This adverse result is attributable entirely to the heavy foreign vote in the 1st, 6th and 7th Wards, where large number of Irish voted who never lived, nor expect to live, in the city.— The 6th Ward was taken by the Dutch bodily, and a native citizen was hardly allowed to vote at all. A large number of Irish and Germans were naturalized and turned loose in these devoted Wards and the result is seen in the table appended. We have secured a majority of the Council, which gives us control of all the important measures of city policy and government, but the' means 6f carrying them out are badly cramped by our defeat."

A BABY STAKED AGAINST A DOLLAR.— We are informed on good authority, saya the Baltimore Republican, that the following circumstance really transpired on Saturday night, in a low street near Exeter.

A card party played for various tiakei, until one of them—a woman—becoming, iu her language "dead broke," offered to stake her infant child against a dollar upon the issue of another game. The proposition was agreed to, by her opponent, who waa a childless mother, and being favored by fortune—or misfortune, the conclusion of the game found her the winner of the babe, a bright, healthy male infant, The child, we learn, was delivered without a murmur to the win ner, and we judge from the heartless conduct of the unnatural parent, that her of&pring will find with ita new custodian a better home than the one from which it waa ruthleaaly staked and lost.

Journal says: i. «*. We have the gratification of announcing the complete triumph of the American Ticket, yesterday, after one of the most hotly contested elections in our municipal history. A thorough organization of hostile elements had been effected, and foreign born voters, almost to a man, old liners, and sore heads, came up in unbroken array against us, but we have routed them, horse, foot, and dragoon, by majorities averaging from thirty to ninety. It is a victory worth crowing over, but the lateness of the hour at which we write forbids jubilation.

Although the feeling ran high, and several exciting topics engaged discussion, good order was preserved all throughout the day. We heard of no breaches of the peace.

TREMENDOUS SPEECH.—-The following we tpke from an exchange, as an irresis* table appeal of a member of the bar to the Jury, in favor of his client. 2[v

May it.please the Court and you gentlemen of the Jury: From the snow clad summits of Arrarat, where for thousands of years Noah's Ark has reposed in lonely grandeur, to the soft cerulean isle of the Grecian Archipelago, has the name and fame of my client extended: his fore-fathers fought at the battle of the Nile and danced Juba on the top of Bunker Hill yet these witnesses have the infernal audacity to say he stole them eggs I Why, my client has soared aloft in the regions of immortal and transcendent fancy, where angles might blush to dwell and he might have soared on the wings of his own stupendous and glorious intellect still higher, had not this 'ere tribo of perjured men, tried to make him fall, like a hickory saw-log into a mill pond but the court knows, I know, all nature knows, that a man of his dazzling magnificence, could not be guilty of stealing e£gs and even if he did steal 'em they were rotten ad Den mark—and had smell enough to stock a dozen pole cats with perfumery for a year. Gentlemen, the evidence isn't worth reviewing consequently I sh hi I close my appeal by informing you, that if you don't acquit my client, you'll every mother's son of you, get your necks twisted into double-jointed cork screws, as sure as Belshazzar's aoad.

It is needless to say that the prisoner was unanimously acquitted.

MORMONS.

A Philadelphia correspondent says: The ship Siddons, which arrived at this port a day or two ago from Liverpool, had on board 425 Mormon emigrants, destined lor Salt Lake City. They were composed of British families, and all appeared well dressed, healthy and intelligent. The women, especially, had that fine, robust, rosy, British look about them of which we hear so much. They were to proceed immediately, by railroad and steamboat, to the Western frontier, and there start overland for their new home in the valley of the Salt Lake. ~~~~~~~~

THE BOUNTY LAND LAWS. Recent Decisiont of the Commissioner of Pensions..— In case ol a person entitled to bounty land, under the late act, being insane, the application must be made by the conservator or trustee appointed by the nearest competent judicial authority.

The rights of a widow of a deceased soldier are lost in a second marriage, but are revived again on the death of the second husband. If. however, there be minor children living of the first husband, they may claim in right of their father during the second marriage.

Under the act of 1850 only such were regarded as miners as were under 21 years of age at the time the warrant was issued. Under the present act minority is reckoned prior to the 3d of March, 1865.

The only survivors of the beneficiaries embraced within the provisions of the act are widows and miner children.

The doings at the New York cattlo market yesterday, show a decrease from last week, of about 400 head of cattle on sale and over 600 from the weekly av erage of last year. This dclin« in quantity is aecompanSed by a slight improvement in quality, and an advance of about half a cent per lb. in price, the range being from 10 to 12c., and the average just about 1 lc. The sales are rather dull at the prices demanded.

This is an age when everything is advertised for sale—even female virtue.— A lady announces, through the business columns of the Herald, that she is desirous of meeting with a gentleman with whom she can enjoy 'confidential social intercourse and a 'young widow lady' offers herself through the same medium, for the situation of housekeeper, with the proviso, that 'none but widowers need apply.'

To such scenes, and to such^olemnlties. the city was devoted. Those of our citizens who remembered and sought to honor the day as the Chrjstian Sabbath, were either restrained by the confusion from leaving their dwellings, or if thpy succeuded in gaining their respective places of worship, found their devotions disturbed, and the services of the Church well nigh impracticable, because of the ooise from without. iv is true, that the programme of the peyformances, with considerable toleration, announced that no band of music was to be played with-: in a certain number of feet of any place of worship. Those who visited Christ Church, know how faithful that portion of the bill was performed. If this were a land of heathens and heathen temples, and the rites of sacrifice were performed on numerous altars, the rftusicof yesterday had harmonized with our religion, served to drown the cries of tha victims, and conceal the most revolting features of the spectacle."

Romance of Indian Life.

A private soldier, writing from Fort Laramie, March 12th, mentions the following incidents of the massacre of Lieutenant Grattan:—

I will give you two facts connected with the massacre, which I have never seen in the newspapers. A musician, one of the party, owned or married a squaw, and on that unfortunate day, when danger threatened the troops, she rallied her father and brother to preserve her lover. When he fell wounded, she rushed to him to protect him from the arrows or perish with him. Her father shot several arrows at the other Indians, and was wounded himself in the zelous defence of the soldiers.— Then he sat down and wept as he could do no more. The hostile Indians then rushed on the wounded soldier, tore him from the embrace of his faithful squaw, and scalped him before her eyes. After this she could not be prevailed upon to eat or drink, and starved to death, dying in nine days, and glad to go to regain the presence of the spirit of one she loved so dearly. The only soldier that reached her alive, was found by an Indian, who instead of scalping him, ministered to his wants, carried water to his hiding place, and endeavored to bring
