Eci.ifsE. The solar eclipse of July 18,
18C0, was more thoroughly observed than
any other that ever occurred. In addition
to the great number of trained observers
who were scattered along the line of its
path, from the State of Oregon to Egypt,
the new art of ustruuoiuicul photography
lent its powerful aid toward obtaining a
complete history of tho phenomena. In
former totnl eclipses, when the sun wus
completely hidden by the moon, while Still
brighter objects, appearing l-ko protuber
ances, were seen extending into the corona,
there had been mnch discussion among as
tronomers in rcgnrd to tin appearances,
some believing that they were produced by
the action of the earth's utinnspl.crc on the
sun's light, others attributing them to the
moon, und others still to the sun. Hopes
hud been for some timu entertained that
the eclipse of this yeur would nOord ob
servations which wuuld settle these ques
tions. These hopes have not been disap
pointed. Tho corona is a luminous atmos
phere of the sun, brighter than the face of
tho moon, gradually becoming fainter as
the distance from the sun increases, till it
fades uwny in tho fky without any defined
limits, but visible at least 500,000 leagues
from the body of the sun. The red pro
tuberances are numerous floating clouds,
floatiuir in the sliininir ntniosnliere, all of
them pretty near the surface of the sun.
It is a curious fact, that some of theso
clouds impressed their image on the photo
graphic paper, though they could not be
seen through with powerful telescopei.
This fact is explained on the supposition
that they may have emitted a deep violet
light composed mostly of cheniicul rays.
The application of photography to the ol
servution of the heavenly bodies, was first
made by our American astronomers, a fact
admitted by the English and French.
Marchino Fkats of U. S. Troops.

from Camp Floyd, U. T., to Fort Buch

All accounts from V nshington represent
the Government to be well prepared to
give the secession scoundrels a warm recep
tion, should they attempt to take posses
sion of tiie Capital and prevent the inau
guration of Lincoln. Oen. Scott has given
orders to have three companies of flying
artillery concentrated in or near Washing
ton, nud a regiment of iuf.intry, a squad
ron of dragoons, mid several companies of
riflemen. He has also requested Toucev,
Secretary of the Nuvy, to place three or
four men of war in the river adjoining the
arsenal, ready for action. He has had
Cupt. X. Stonn appointed Inspector Gen
end of the militia of the District, nud set
him to work organizing and drilling the
volunteer companies of the city, und filling I
up their ranks. The memte rs are directed
to keep their arms ut home, In order that
seizure in their respective nrmories may be
prevented. Chief Justico Taney declared
that he would administer tho oath of oflice
lo Mr. Lincoln on the 4th of March, if he
he had to go to Springfield to do it.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes thus:
" Any attempt to seize tho Capitol and
tho archives of the Government, or to pre
vent tho inati'.'nratnii of the President
elect, will be res.sted by n million of men
in arms. Thousands of letters received by
members of Congress within a tew days
indicate the f.nn resolve of the musses to
put down any inob violence nu this Capi
tal. Let the telegraph flash the news that
the rattle siinke ensign is flying over the
Capitol, aud a hundred thousand armed
men will be here iu three days to tear it
down, and shoot, bayonet, and hang any
rebel found in the District. The moral ef
fect on the whole country of Lincoln's pub-
I c inauguration from the Capitol of the
nation, must out be lost by having him
lake the oath or Oillcu in a corner. Let
the ceremony be performed in due und nn-
cieut form. The North and West respond
ave. Let the South vote no, at tln ir peril.
Tue proposition of I lie New York Legisla
ture, moved oy a I) moeratic &euutor, to
raise, ten million of dollars, nud arm
200.000 militiu to defend the integrity of
the Luinu, suniiort the Constitution, and
enforce the laws, has been uu eye-opener to
I he secessionists. ( wan buinr.i. It
is talking out in meeting. It contrasts
rather largely with that $400,000 fnienl
loan of Snulli Carolina. Tiiere are indi
vidual citizens in the Empire State who
will take $400,000 slock iu that loan, if
ever wanted, without over-cheeking their
current liauk account. H m. ii. Atnr,
A. T. Stewart, nud several others who
might be named, can either of them raise
more money aud equip more men to thrash
the tories of Sunt Ii Carolina than the
whole Palmetto nation cm. raise to Cghl
the Union."
Speaking of Buchanan's Cubinct, the
snmc writer says:
" Stanton is the back-bone of the Cabi
net. He is a resolute, clenr headed, devo
ted Union man, from tho Buckeye State,
though he has resided in this I). strict for a
couple of years, practicing law iu the
higher courts. So long as he remains in
the Union, if wil' hnv one true friend and
ilefender. the active, vigorous measures
being taken I iy Gen. Scott for tho defense
of this District, are mainly owing to the
influence of Attorney G' lieral Stanton
the law officer of the Government. The
relusal o( the President to recognize the
South Carolina envoys in any other light
than private citizens, to their immense dis
trust, was also the work of Stanton. The
return to them of their insulting letter to
the President, with marks of contempt,
was also done on Stanton's advice as the
only proper way to treat inch a mission,
emanating from such a source."
Ccrhts Discovert. It is said thnt
Mayor Tieman, at his paint factory in
Manhattativille, New York, has accident
ally made a discovery which threatens to
revolutionize floriculture. One of the f ac
tury hands having thrown some liquid
green paint of a particular kind on a flow
er bed occupied by white anemones, the
flowers have since made their Hppeiirance
with petals as green as grass. The paint
hud in it a peculiar and very penetrating
mixture, which Mr. Tieman has since np-
plied, with the colors, to other plants an
nual, biennial, mid of the shrub kind the
result being" invariably that the flowers
watered tooK me nue or ine nqum depos
ited at their roots: By commencing ex

will no doubt soon be enabled to " paint

is tolerably safo in thus restoring to the
press the freedom of which he bad deprived
it, especially ns the feeling of opposition

In a lute nmniier of the N. V. Illustra

of a diabolical outrage recently coininilted
ttlttllw
The N'W illuttntfi the
f, under sn-nciou for her humane senti
incut, and without accusal ion or trial of
any sort, she was seized by a gang of rnlf
inns, who acted under the sanction of the
Common Conned of the city where the out
rage was comuiitled, was ht ripped linked,
tarred und feathered, ami nldcn on a rail
to the depot, escorted thither If a turn

And, as if she had been somu dangerous
and powerful enemy, the sunn Cotiiie.l or
dered her to be sir i lly guarded till after
she passed Mason's and J) .ton's line. In
credible as nil this may appear, it is, never
theless, strictly true, nud wo only keep
back the iiuu.es und datu from reasons of
policy.
We present onr readers lo-dny with n
k' tch of this foul scene nud its dastardly
actors. We have un words lo express our
indignation und horror nt it, but wo fear
that such scenes are likely now to become
nil too common; for we bear daily of hang
ings ami burnings by tln-se brutal mobs,
und there seems to lie no law, either of man
or God, to prevent them.
The Tribune, si king of these scenes,
says tluit the letter vouching for their truth,
has lieen lanl before the ed. tor or that journ
al, who in his turn vouches for the honor
nud character of the writer. We also hnvf
seen the letter, and what WO have slated
above respect ng the laity in question, was
taken from it without rox or exaggera
tion; although tho Tribune omits ull tho
letmls of the barbarous, und inhuman pro
ceeding.
Thr Speech of Senator Baker The
speech of Senator Baker in tho Senate
Chamber has disappointed all parlies. Jl.s
reputation was that of an orator whose
fancy was fascinating, whose declamation
was suiierb, nud whose power consisted
chiefly iu splend d outbursts of rhetoric,
calculaled lo captivate a popular iiudieiire,
but not to weigh much in the deliberations
of a Semite. But the gcnilcn from the
fiir ilistu.it region " where rolls the Oregon,"
had the exemplary discretion not lo make
a gaudy stump speech. He discarded the
glittering genernlilies, nud, sobering his
imaginative tenipi rainent, reasoned from
the facts with a niuiplieity I ke that or a
really great lawyer,' stating propositions
lispiissiouately, and wall mathematical pre
cision. Unly in two or three passages inn
he become warm, nud his periods rounded
with the luxuriant und musical swell und
sweep of a mind enriched with literature,
as well ns disciplined to woi k oni pouncni
problems with geometrical exactness. Ba
ker was replying to the most dangerous an
tagonist in the Senate, Benjamin, und was
frequently interrupted by him. It is high
praise to say that he was not placed ut u
disadvantage in this combat, but parried
nud thrust I ken gladiator, displaying great
skill in fencing, as well ns pluck, and n
' wrist of iron.' So linker s speech was n
success, though nol such n nue ns was an
