Never have We known such dreadful weather
at this season, as we have experienced since Fri
day night. The opening Of Spring would DO
credit TO the severe winters OF Siberia. II II
continues much longer, The warm South VIII
deserve to be stripped Of her fair name. Yes
terday was, perhaps, the gloomest day we
have ever seen. Hail fell the whole OF Sun
day night and the wind was fearful. Early
yesterday morning heavy suow-storm sprung
M, and continued unremiiingly until !, ?. Nj.
II was followed BY hail-storm and sleet,
which continued till dark. The snow and hail
covered the ground about inches deep. But few
struggling foot passengers were 10 be seen IN the
s,ree,s-and very small number were bold
enough 10 brave the elements in sleishs. Or
course The Mails, North and South, were among
The missing, and no one can predict when ihey
will again be regularly CT train.

Read the quaint bui graphic and effective
speech of Mr.. Gore, the worthy and vene-
rable delegate from Logan, in the Virginia
Senate yesterday. He has done much for the
State. and deserves the grateful thanks OF
Logan for his presen, remarkable achieve
ment We are sure ina, his peculiar elo-
ouepce has done more than the most learned
arguments and mos, pathetic appeals. Had Mr..
G. lived in the days of Old Rome, he would nave
been covered with honors iur his patriotic duty.
Let Logan not forget him.
