Total Solar Eclipse.— There will oc cur a total solar eclipse to morrow, in re gard to which wc extract the following interesting points from the Missouri Demo crat : The obscuration will first be observed in the North Atlantic Ocean, the central line moving in a southerly direction. Crossing a part of Spain and the Mediterranean Sea, it enters Africa near Oran, and soon after wards attains its southern limits. The shadow of the moon will .then move in a northeasterly direction, leave Africa, and crossing the Island of Sicily, the south of Turkey' the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azof, disappear. The penumbra of the moon, decreasing rapidly, leaves the earth with the sett'ng sun in Arabia. The son will be centrally and totally eclipsed at noon 1n latitude thirty-six degrees and thirty-eight minutes north; longitude five degrees one miuute west, a little to the northeast of Gibralter, and near the Lisbon coast, probably creating tidal waves and earth quakes here of great severity, agitating the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, the Bay of Ffmiy and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Some circumstances attending the eclipse will be favorable aud others unfavorable for making observations. Not only will It occur when the moon is particularly near to the earth, but at a period when the earth is nearest to the sun, and also at the time of the Winter solstice; the moon likewise occulting the planet Saturn—the planet Venus on the same day being In configura tion with the moon, one degree six minutes south, the moon at the time approaching her conjunction with the planet Mercury, which latter body will be only one degree nineteen minutes south of the moon. In the opposite side of the heavens will be both the planets Jupiter, one degree and seven minutes north, and Uranus only fifty six minutes south of the moon, at a period when the planet Jupiter is approaching an opposition to the sun, which took place on the 13th of December, exercising a most powerful reciprocal attractive influence on each other, by the combined influence thus exercised by the sun, the moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus and the earth, all being nearly in a right line—a configura tion that has not taken place for centuries, and which seldom occurs. The probable effects on the earth will he the creation of earthquakes, tidal waves, storing, hurri canes and cyclones. In a few day 9it will be seen whether or not the predictions of astronomers in the various reports men tioned shall be realized. Reshits are await ed with considerable curiosity. Metallic Fractional Currency. Director of the! Mint, in his report, renews his recommendation of a year ago, in favor of the coinage of silver tokens, of the de nomination of tea, twenty-five and fifty cents, equal in purity, but inferior in weight, to the standard, exchangeable for Uuired States note* and fractional currency, and a legal tender for sums of five or ten dollars. So far as reducing the standard is concerned, he says that our present coins are not what they should be, in weight or value. In suggesting that upon the re sumption of specie payment these tokens could be called in and recoined to standard, he declares that would be no objection, as the recoining of silver, when long nsed as a circulating medium, is a necessity, as it becomes deteriora'ed in value anrl defaced by abrasion when in constant use. He places the value of these tokens at 36.4 cents for half dollars, 18.2 for quarters and 7.28 for dimes, and thinks this reaction will counteract any tendency to hoard or export them. It Is further suggested that by coining these tokens the stiver of Den ver, In Colorado, will be used, and the Government could pay the miners such a price as would prevent the export of our silver produetto China or Europe. The position taken by the Director seems to be a correct one; at any rate, the people will be pleased with any scheme to rid them of the nuisance of the nasty, dirty, counterfeit e“ scrip.” jsquare*. }l Week.

War on Halt Monopoly.— The import ers of salt have sent a memorial to the Ways and Means Committee, giving a statement of the per centage of duty on the same to the invoice cost of a few car goes imported during the present year. They say that they “ present a liberal ave rage sample of the present dnty on salt at 18 cents per one hundred pounds in bulk and 2t cents per one hundred pounds in sacks. The freight will average 15 shil lings per ton, or 195 per cent, of cost. This protects the Onondaga Salt Company, who are about the only parties benefited by the present really exorbitant rates, about 375 per cent, of the value ot the ar ticles prepared by them for sale. The very • high rate of duty not only afreets theim-j porter, but affects all American manufac turers of salt, who are ground into ob scurity by the impositions of the favored and wealthy Onondaga monopoly, and the consumer, who meets all the expense of a monopoly striving to absorb the entire salt trade of the country. The burden is too heavy to bear in times of peace and pros perity. We, therefore, earnestly, on behalf of the millions to be benefltted thereby, call for a reduction of the tariff on import ed salt to the following rates, viz: salt in bulk, six cent 9 per 100 lbs.; In sacks, nine cents per ICO lbs. The King of Italy Delays his Triumph al Entuy into Rome. —A correspondent writing from Florence says that l ( he King’s Ministers had Appointed December Ist as the day upon which the grand entry was to have been, and the Italian journals had published the entire programme of the order of the great procession. But when the King learned that he was to be lodged, while in Rome, in the Quirinal, he decidedly rejected the arrangement. He dreads, it is said, the anger of the Pope, and will use every excuse to put off his entry into Rome. It is also stated in this letter that a foreign ambassador in Florence sail that, from some remarks his Majesty had made to him during an audience, he felt sure that the Kiug would hail gladly any foreign in tervention which would prevent his taking possession of the Holy City. A Bear Slaughters an Alligator.— The Palatka (Fla.) Herald gives the follow ing account of a contest between a bear and alligator, which came off near that place: A colored man was fishing close by the scene of action at the time. When he heard the roar and bellow of both animals he was disposed to cast away his fishing tackle and run, but finding that the noise of the conflict came no nearer, he cautious ly crept through the jungle and there wit nessed the combat. Bruin and his antago nist were in wafer about eighteen Inches deep—the fight was long aud severe, and it whs terrible, the man said, to see how they lacerated and tore each other. The bear, resorting to his peculiar tactic*, would en fold the alligator in his huge arms, and over and over they rolled in the water, until at last the bear came off the victor, leaving his enemy dead. Attempted Outrage in Screven. Paramokk Hill, Ga., ) No. 7*4 Central R. R , Dec. 16, 1870. 5 Editor Savannah Republican: I write hurriedly to inform vou of an outrageous attempt to murder Mr. James Parker and family last night. While all was merry a short distance at the marriage feast, five persons attempted to break into the house at 10 o’clock at night. His two sons, one living with him and the other near bv, had just left for Savannah. Soon after they left., the assailants made the first attempt, but Mr. Parker, having two double barrelled tJiot guns and a repeater, repulsed them; soon after, they returned, but were again repulsed. At 2 o’clock! a. m., they returned the third time, but this time were driven away, one of them scream iDg as if severely injured, and the party re turned no more. At daylight, as the Colo nel’s servant returned from the railroad, on going to the house for the stable keys, he found young Thomas Oliver lying under the piazza, and on examination, he was found to have received the benefit of eleven buckshot. No donbt, the parties knowing his son was absent, had chosen the occa sion to murder, ;ob and plander. When will such things cease from our land ? Crvis. Death of a Well-Known Hotel Pro prietor.—We sincerely regret to announce the death, yesterday morning, of Wm. A. Wright, Esq , the genial aud gentlemanly proprietor of the Nickerson House, in this city. Mr. Wright has been in delicate health for several years, but was seldom confined to his bed for any length of time. On Wednesday night last, he was attacked with paralysis of the left side,and gradually grew weaker, until he expired, about 11 o’clock yesterday. Mr. Wright was an earnest, energetic man, a kind friend, and a good citizen. He was proprietor of the American Hotel, Richmond, Va., for many years, and had been a resident of Columbia for about eight years. He was a native of Philadelphia, and had nearly completed his fifty-fourth year—Christmas day being the date of his birth. His remains will be car ried to Richmond, Va., to-day, for inter ment.—Columbia, (8. 0.) Phanix, 20 th.
