EXPLANATIONS.
Tne rising ana setting of the Sun, as givqn for Charleston, will answer equally well
for the greater parts of South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, as they depend chiefly on
the Latitude of places. A special columnds given for Florida and the Southern portions
of the other States.
It is not usual to give both risings and settings of the Moon, as one of these occur¬
rences must take place daily when the Sun is above the horizon, when of course the
Moon is unnoticed. For this reason the rising of the Moon is given from Full to New,
and the setting from New to Full. The column calculated especially for Charleston, will
also answer for common purposes for other places in the States above mentioned, as the
difference will seldom amount to more than a few minutes. The changes of the Moon,
however, are given exactly for three different localities: Charleston, Montgomery, and
Tallahassee.
The times of high water are given daily for Charleston, St. Augustine" and Fort Pu¬
laski, mouth of Savannah River. The tide at the wharves of the City of Savannah are
about one hour later daily than those at the mouth of the,River.
There are two high tides daily, but it is usual to put in our Almanacs but one—the one
following immediately after the meridian passage of the Moon. The other one can be
easily found as it is midway between any two successive tides given in the tables.
All of these dates as to Sun, Moon, Tides, etc., in this Almanac, are given (as is usual
now) in mean or clock time.
"We give below a table showing the difference between Clock time and Sun time, which
may be useful in setting a watch or clock by a meridian line of the Sun.
AN EQUATION TABLE,
Showing to the nearest minute how much the Sun is faster or slower than a perfect or well
regulated Clock.

THE MOON'S INFLUENCE ON THE WEATHER.
One of tbe most prevalent notions is that which represents the moon as exercising a
great influence on the weather, and we- usually hear the name of Sir William Herschel
adduced as authority for this notion. Modern science in reality rejects all these ideas as
vain delusions. Prof. Nichol, of the University of Glasgow, writes as follows upon this
subject:
" I am in receipt Of your letter regarding the supposed influence of the moon on the
weather. No relation 'exists between these classes of phenomena. The question has been
tested,and decided," over and over again, by the discussion of long and reliable meteorolo¬
gical tables."

ASPECTS OF PLANETS FOR 1869.
Mercury will be at greatest elongation as Morning Star, March 18, July 16, November
5; and as Evening Star, Feb. 3, May 29, September 25.
Venus will be Morning Star until May 9, and Evening Star for the remainder of the
year, being at greatest Eastern elongation December 13.
* Jupiter will be Evening Star until April 17. It will be in opposition to the Sun
November 8, at which time it will rise about sunset, and reach the meridian at midnight.
Mars will be very favorably situated for observation this year, being in opposition to
the Sun February 13. It will thus be conspicuous in the evening sky for several months
in the first of the year.
Saturn will be a Morning Star until March 7, then Evening Star until September 3.
It will be on the meridian at midnight, June 4.
ECLIPSES.
There will .be four Eclipses, two of the Sun and two of the Moon, only one of each
being visible with us.
1. A partial Eclipse of the Moon, January 27. Nearly half of the Moon will be cov¬
ered at the moment of greatest darkness. The times of the phases are as follows:
Charleston, S. C. Montgomery, Ala. Tallahassee, Fla.

THE SOUTHEKN ALMANAC.
2. An annular Ecfipse of the Sun, February 10, invisible in the United States.
3. A partial Eclipse of the Moon, July 22, invisible here.
4. A remarkable total Eclipse of the Sun, August 7, (Saturday), in the afternoon, visible
as such through a narrow belt, and seen, as a very large Eclipse over all our country. It
passes through the middle of North America, coming in at Behring's Straits, and passing
near Springfield, (111.,) Louisville, (Ken.,) between Raleigh and Fayetteville, (N. C.,) and
leaving the coast just below Cape Look Out. A line drawn through these points on a
map will give an idea of the central path of the Eclipse. Along a narrow belt on each
side of this line it will be total. To places North of this line, a small portion of the
Northern edge of the Sun will be visible. The portion thus left uneclipsed will be nearly
one-twelfth in Washington, and increases in New England to more than one-tenth. South
of it, through our State, Georgia, and Florida, a small portion of the Southern disk of
the Sun will be visible, this portion amounting in Florida to one-tenth. The last total
Eclipse which passed over any inhabited parts of our country was that of 1834, when
the Southern corner of our State was in the path of the Moon's shadow, and many years
will pass before a similar occurrence will take place here. Few readers we hope will bo
satisfied with the scanty information which a common Almanac can give about this rare
phenomenon. As the day approaches, the newspapers will be filled with explanations and
details, to which we refer our readers. We give below the approximate times for a few
places. Generally speaking, this Eclipse will begin in South Carolina a few minutes
before five, P. M., increase for nearly one hour, when it will reach its greatest obscura¬
tion, and pass away in about one hour more. The shadow of the Moon will first make
its appearance on the lower or right hand edge of the Sun (as we look at it), about 65
degrees to the West of the North point of the Sun's disk. It will pass off at a point
nearly opposite on the upper or left hand edge of the Sun's disk. Along the Eastern edge
of our State, Georgia, and Florida, it will not wholly have passed away when the Sun seta.

Gardener'.* Work for this Month.—Plant peas, beans, beets, onions, and eschalots, Irish potatoes;
and horseradish.—Sow Dutch turnips, cabbages, spinage, lettuce, radishes, parsley, carrots and salsify,
Plant onlv early peas, and a few Irish potatoes.—Artichokes must now be dressed, also, asparagus beds;
and this is the proper time to make hot beds for sowing early spring tomatoes, cucumbers, &c.
Vkoetablss in season this Month.—Ground artichoke, green glazed cabbage, ruta baga carrots, leeks, eel-
lards, spinach, turnips, parsnip, salsify.
Plantation Work for this Month.—This is the month for preparing your planting-land for the next
crop; but this work should alwai's be commenced as soon as the last crop is harvested. In the low coun¬
try, if mud, marsh, or rushes are used, this is a good time to haul out and spread in the alleys, and upon
it a light listing. Repair fences ; plough, ditch, drain, and manure. You can sow, oats for a first crop.
All Agriculturists should buy Prof. Holmes' "Southern Farmer," Prof. F. Pktre Porchbr's " Resources of
the Southern Fields and Forests," and subscribe to the "Southern Cultivator," published at Athens, Ga.

POSTAL.
Rates of Postage, &c.—The rate of postage on letters, to be forwarded in the mails to any part of the
United States, is three cents per half ounce, prepaid.
Letters-deposited in the office without the postage being prepaid, will be liable to be sent to the Dead
Letter Office.
The fee for registeringa letter is 20cents, in addition to the regular postage, and no registered letter will
be delivered until the person authorized to receive it shall have signed the necessary receipts therefor.
All mail matter not sent at letter rates, must be so enveloped that the contents can'be readily examin¬
ed, otherwise it will be charged as letter postage.
Letters can be forwarded from one post office to another (as in cases of removal, etc.,) at the request of
the party addressed, without extra charge. Return dead letters are also sent back to the writers free.
Transient newspapers, pamphlets, proof-sheets, book-manuscripts, sample cards, photograph cards, '
cards, maps, blanks, blank paper, engravings, envelopes, seeds, roots, scions, and printed matter (except"
circulars and hooks,) are rated at two cents for eviry four ounces, or fraction thereof, prepaid.
Double the above rates charged for books.
Unsealed circulars, one and not exceeding three in number in one envelope, are charged two cents;
and in that proportion for a greater number, to one address, prepaid.

Over four and not exceeding eight ounces 10 20 30 60 70
And an additional rate for each four ounces or fractional part thereof.
Publications issued without disclosing the office of publication, or containing a fictitious-statement
thereof, can not be forwarded unless prepaid at transient rates, as above.
All communications on official business, from whatever source, addressed to any Executive Department,
or to any Chief of Bureau, <>r other officer having the franking privilege, can pass free in the mails,
without the endorsement of "official business." All letters and printed matter to or from members.of
Congress pass free in the mails.
All communications addressed to Postmasters must be prepaid; and if a reply is required, stamps for
return postage must be enclosed. Prepayment in all cases is indispensable.
Dostoffice Money Orders, for sums hot exceeding §50 each order, can be obtained at the principal
postoffiees throughout the c untry. The Money Order Postoffices in South' Carolina are Charleston,
Columbia, Port Royal, Chester C. H., Anderson C. H., Laurens G. H. and Newberry C. H. The use of
these orders by persons who desire to make remittances by mail, is far preferable to sending money,
even when the letter containing it is registered, but a system of receipts from hand to hand, throughout
the route of transportation of registered letters, now »dds_ greatly to the security against loss. By the
Money Order system absolute security against loss is obtained. The fees charged on money orders are
as follows:- For any sum not exceeding twenty dollars, 10 cents; over twenty dollars, and not exceeding
thirty dollars, fifteen cents ; over thirty dollars, and not exceeding forty dollars, twenty cents; and Over
forty dollars, and not exceeding fifty dollars, twenty-five cents. Not more than one hundred and fifty,
dollars in amount caa be drawn upon an office on one day, by the same remittor, and in favor of the
same payee, at tire same office. The back of every money order affords all the necessary directions for
its use, and remitters are advised to consult their directions. Motfey orders are good for one year from
the date of issue. In case of their loss, no charge is made for the issue ot duplicates. Persons sending
money orders should be careful never to send them in a letter which contains the name of the person
from whom they are sent. This is necessary tn order to guard against loss in case the letter should fall
into improper hands; money orders never being paid to any person who cannot tell the name of the
party to whom they were issued. The number of money order postoffices is being constantly increased.
The rates of postage to foreign countries are not permanent, but tending constantly towards reduc¬
tion. Monthly tables are found in the official newspaper of the Department, "the United States Mail,"
published in New York, and merchants and business men particularly, may find advantage in susbcrib-
mg for it at a dollar a year, and referring to it.

WHAT IS THE USE OF THE MOON?
M. Geoffroy, of Paris, asks what may be the utility of the moon with regard to our
planet, and whether it is only there for the purpose of raising the waters of the ocean
twice a day. To this he replies that, besides the great planets" that are carried along a
regular path around the sun, there exists an unlimited number of bodies of different
sizes, moving through space in every direction, as the almost daily discovery,of a vast
number of asteroids proves. In his opinion the moon was once one of these erratic
bodies, and happening one day to get within the sphere of attraction of our planet, was
forced to become our satellite, instead of continuing its own course. Hence the moon is
but an accident. The earth had done without it before, and might do without it a^ain.
Venus is about the size of the earth, and goes regularly around the sun, although it has
no satellite. Why should the earth need one? M. Geoffroy goes on to say, that our
moon is of no use to us, because we might well do without oceanic and atmospheric
tides; and the best eulogium he can pass on our satellite beingrthat it is utterly useless,
he goes furthef and declares that we owe it to the merest chance', it having been picked
up, as it were, on the way ; and as such a thing might happen again, the author sees no
impossibility whatever in our getting some day another, and perhaps more moons still,
added to our stock. M. Geoffroy is one of those who deny that the moon is inhabited ;
first, because the excessive cold there must prevent the possibility of any animal life *
and, secondly, because the moon has no atmosphere.
