The Great Eclipsed fins t^vso, W^ich
will happen on tho 12th of February, 1831,
will be one of tho most remarkablo, that will
be witnessed in tho United Statos for a long
conrso,of years. Tho apparent diameter of
the sun.wdl’bo thirty-two and a half minutes
of a degree; that of tho moon thirty-ono and
a half. Of course tho eclipse will be bo annu
lar; that is, in all places whore tho sun will be
centrally eclipsed, at the moment of the great
est obscuration, it will exhibit tho appearance
of a beautiful luminous ring round tho moon.—
Eclipses of this kind arc less frequent occur

will ho seen as far south as tho city of Quito in

NATURAL CURIOSITIES.
Travellers in the low country have related to us the
following facts:
A spot of earth, about an acre in extent, near
tho court house in Lowndes county, suddenly
gave way not long since, and sunk to the depth
of a hundred feet! Tho place is now covered
with water, tho trees standing as they grew—
the tallest pines being 20 or 30 feet below the
level of the surrounding country. Small ponds
like this are frequently met with in the lower
parts of the state, and are there called Dime
Sinks—produced probably by the action of
subterraneous streams.
Iu Thomas county, the waters of two creeks,
at their junction, formerly made a lake of con
siderable size, and then ran off in a large rivu
let. But about a year and a hall ago, tho wa
ter of the lake found a subterranean outlet—tho
bed of the rivulet, as well as of the whole lake,
lias become entirely dry, and covered with
luxuriant grass, fee. The luko disappeared so
suddenly, that tons of fishes, terrapins, and alii,
gators totally unapprised of its intentions, wei o
left behind.
Travellers speak of the large Ponds or Lakes
in Florida, as objects of curiosity. In Arrno-
nia Pond aro several largo Islands, said to be
floating! A circumstance is mentioned of an
individual having purchased a small Island, in
tills pond, which, whon he went tho second
time to see, could not bo found! lie after
wards hoard of it in another part of tho lake
several miles from where ho left it. •
Jackson Pond, in Florida, is said to bo in
creasing in oxtont-tho eartli on the margin
having sottled; or, from its outlet becoming ob
structed, the quantity of water having accumu
lated. Fields and orchards cultivated but late
ly by tho Indians, are now entirely under wa
ter—*the tops of tho poach trees being nearly
covered.
We have given tho above particulars as they
aro statod to us; and from tho respectability of
their sources wc have no doubt of their being
substantially correct. An inquiry into tho
causes of these operations of Nature, wilt be an
interesting employment for tho admirerer of
of nature’s Works.

Horrible sacrifice of IFomen.—Tho Lon

Idler recently received from India, which says:
“Some strangers from Nnhn, in the hills,
were this morning at tho Jogeo’s, whither I had
gone to read the Gospels and pray. They
consisted of two Vukeels from tho Naha Raja,
with their attendants. They gave me a horri
ble account of tho sacrifice of eight and twen
ty human lives, under the fallacious name of
Suttee, which took place not two months ago,
in the hills. The individual who died was
IsrceSein, the raja of Mundcc, a town add ra-
jaship in the hills; and tho persons who were
thus cruelly burnt were not all wives or con- 1
<-ullinos, but some of them slave girls. Ono
Ranee has escaped the dimes for the present;
another, through good interest perhaps, was
emboldened to declare her determination not
to be burnt, and they have not dared to immo
bile her. Some thirty years ago, a raja hav
ing been slain in battle, twenty-five women
were burnt with his corpse. Many more in
stances of murders, under the cloak of Suttees,
were related by them, as having taken place

That men are bound to side with the anil),
rities of their native country when in tern?,
a most slavish and wicked doctrine. Sb^
that rule obtain, resistance to the most coma
and cruel usurper, when once invesedmj
power, becomes crimo; and he acquires an
prescriptive right to obedience in tho most»f,
cant and horrible entorprizes. Removal fc
the land, without permission, becomes avi^,
tion of nature—expatriation is in itself
sible, and tho attempt at it amounts to treats.
Were such a principlo valid, at wliat pcri«j

rity to enforce right?
But no power in Heaven or on earthen
bind tho conscicnco to uphold error. Justit*
is as eternal and unchangeable as the existent
of that Being whose essence is integrity si) I
truth. From this inseparable attribute of DW
vinity human ordinances can only derive lc>
tirnate authority; and every ntlo, having a ft
ferent origin, must in conscience bo nullandia-
operative. Revelation and nature autheaa.
cate, that justice and our duty are syuonimos;
and, as our duty and happiness are inseparsNe,
it follows that wrong has no claim upon m
allegiance;—for whatever is foreign to th
true happiness of man, he is bound by GjW
reason to withstand. So soon' therefore a
justice is impinged by any government,and*
peaceable corrective remains, the citizens n
virtually absolved 1 from their obedience, u!
both morally and religiously at liberty to re
form their establishments by force of vs;
should they be disinclined to escape the evil Ij 1
emigration. And yot this, doctrine, sanction!
by nature and nature’s God, would be flagnr-
ly atrocious, were Mr. Habersham’s Dotinj
based on truth or tolerated by expediency, d
the emigrants also, in whoso company be *
tered them, be in strictness inexcusable ondn-j
probate traitors, odious to virtue and doserti’f
death.
And such are tho principles on which then
ditionists in Georgia rest!. Allegiance to the n.-j
tion is denied; submission to the most ind«-
pondently organized tribunal in the com)
contemned; aud the people assured that they
are constitutionally anil naturally bound o
maintain with their blood, the treasonable dt
signs of a few miscreants who have, tbw.si
misrepresentation and profligacy, waded M
the highest offices in Georgia. Yos; rigid t
