ing of this pasaage in iu broad sense, is this, il
any man's work i not productive of good to so
ciety, neither shall he enjoy the common beue
fiu of aociety.
Th Great Teacher of the world ha clearly
taught tb tain doctrine in the parable of the
talents and thw barmr trw " In tlle parallle"
of the talents, those who improved them to the

one talent, who buried it, or failed to ua It to
the geCHers good, was condemned and cast out
aa an unprofitable servant into outer, darkneas.
Now, if tbe mer burying of a talent (which
made it at least haruileas to aociety) it a good
reason in divine procedure for expelling a man
from the aociety of tbe good, how much more
will an employment constantly active in produc
ing gigantic evil to society, (a the liquor trade
does) expel iU agent from th protection of ao
iuty. Again, the barren fig tree wa condemn

ha H daim for protection upon the ground of

Id. The business of tbe liquor traffic contri
bute no element of good to society ; but on the
contrary, taps its foundation destroy it
tal, bodily and moral vkmeuU, therefore it baa
forfeited all chiiiu to protection. Whatever de
stroys society forfciu ita right on society for pro

the liquor buainea has no right of protection.

. THE ECUPSE.
The eclipse of the tnn, which take
place thia afternoon, will be annular
that is, the moon at the time of ita transi
tion appearing smaller than tlie tnn, it
will not entirely cover it, but leave at the
moment of i greatest eclipse, a narrow
ring light. BVith the beginning and the
end of the eclipse will be visible in all
parte of tii Unite StatetwiTha : New
York Pott furnishe tome particular fnat
wiU be read with interest :-Sout Caro
linian, May 26.
The shadow of the moon comintr across
tne x acme nrst reaches uie coast ot ual-
ifornia; near Ban Francisco, about iudifhW'tfwPlawk Eoad, at depth of 80 to
past two in the afternoon, by Washing
ton ume, or anout nau past eleven in tne
morning, by the time of Kan Francitco ;
and in two ho art will have covered near
ly the whole continent Of JN orth Amen
ea, with ita southern limit in the south
ern part of Mexico, and ita northern lim
it beyond the northern pole.
It will continue on tli whole of the
United State nearly an hour and a half ;
when first ending, on the Pacific coast, it
will past from the wuole country in lest
than any minute.
The eclipse will begin in this city abont
aixteen minutet past tour in the afternoon,
and end about thirty-eight minutet past
six ; tbe moon will cover from ten to
eleven-twelfths of the tun's diameter.
The effect of an annular eclipse on the
earth and sky is less striking than that
of total eclipses, which are described by
those who have seen them as presenting
an awful aspect during the time that to
tal darkness lasts. Tbe advance of the
total shadow around the horizon can be
seen from an eminence, and as it comet
on It plunges the regions in its path into
appahng darkness, while a gloom hangs
oyer tlie rest ot the .country.
But the appearances of the earth and
the sky during an annular eclipse, though
worthy of more notice than it often inven,
are not the principal feature unless the
ring will be, where it can be seen, the
great attraction of the occasion, and will,
probably, injure the eyes or many admir
ers. Opticians say that their business is
never more flourishing than -alter a solar
eclipse.
It is, probably, not unknown to many
of our readers, that in a period of about

aud again ; but that in the course of time
these variations amount to great changes,
so that from time to time some old eclipse
will he "dropped -omvand some uew
(tne taken jp m , tlie eighteen year pro
gramme. This subject is finely discus-'
ed in Ferguson's astronomy, aud a histo
ry of the returns of the coming eclipse is
gWtt.aa,Bji4Majntl8
Tlie approaching eclipse first appeared
ou the .list- about the thirteenth century,
and will continue to return Uu about a
thousand years after its first appearance,
when, having gradually passed off the
earth, the shadow, at the corresponding
returns of the new moon, will continue
for more than ten thousand years to sweep
by the earth without touching it, aud then
will again return to entertain or terrify,
perhaps, a new race of men.
A TERRIBLE DRAMA
The Paris correspondent of the New

1st Inst.", gives the following account tf a
terrific drama, which was then in progress
n the vicinity of Lyons :
Two men engaged in boring a well were
overwhelmed by the caving in of the
earth and ttoues. One. was killed and
the other was tightly ahnt np unharmed,
with the corpse. This was at the depth
of fifty feet Two day passed before a
knowledge of his situation was obtained.
It was then seen that it was impossible to
rescue the survivor by tlie removal of the
earth above him. The slightest derange
ment wonld destroy the equilibrium into
which chance had thrown the superin-
cunihent juastv and bury .forever the un-
fort filiate victim. Jlean were found, how-

all reliable information tipoii matters con

count ; none of whicti bank have ever ex
isted here. The two former are complete
ly fictitious, and of the third all tliat is
known is that the notes are redeemed
somewhere in New York city. It is to',be
inferred, from tfappea raue of the names
in the list, that notes purporting to be from
the two first named banks are in circula

are in circulation. People should there

RAILROAD PROJECTS. -S.-.-1
. TT allluded th other day to th con
temptated railroad from Wilmington to
Charlotte, and glanced at the advantage!
which our neighbor of th old North
State teem disposed to avail themselves
vuw iionu varuiininne, niignt retuii 10
onr detritnenL We have examined the
project ttill further, and. tee more clearly
the necessity of action on our part to push
forward th Columbia and Anugsta road.
Tlie road from Charlotte, in the direc
tion of Wilmington, will not go direct t
the latter town, but will take advantage
of a connection with th Wilmington and
Manchester railroad tome forty -five mi lea
this aide of Wilmington, not leaving , '
quite eight milee to be constructed.
Thit road, known at th Atlantic, ; Tennea
te and Ohio railroad, from ita termina
tion at Charlotte, will, beside ita project-
avail Itself of a contemplated connection,
in part by the North Carolina railroad,'
between Charlotte and Danville. It will
also connect with what It known aa the
Western Etens1on" of th North Car-.'
olina road, penetrating the western and!
graingrowing counties of North Carolina,
and a glance at the map of the two State
will ahor any one that by these connec- "
tiont we are likely to be cut off from that
portion of the trade and travel of North 1
Carolina which now comes over our own
ud conntrv roada and find an outlet at
Charleston.
But further examination of the map
Will show that a road direct from Anfirns-
ta to Columbia, thence to Charlotte, and
following the North Carolina Road to the
Danville connection, must become the
leading thoroughfare for tlie travel,, and
perhaps the mails, North and South, and
thia is alone a stimulant whicn71iliSut3
unse ns in completingour road to Angnsta.
. 1 Another feature fa
thia, that ahould tlie extension of the road, ..
from Wilmington to Charlotte bo contin- '
nod to Jonesboro', which it donbtleet will
be, it will invest the Charlotte and South
Carolina lUilred with the power of for-
rnidable rivala for tlie exportation of wes
tern produce.
We have thnt briefly alluded to these
project, in order to bring before onr
reader the importance of couttructinir '
on of the best links on th main trunk
of travel North and South.
Since writing th above we leant that
$460,000 of the capital atock of the At
lantic and North Carolina Kno4
