The seasons at the Isthmus Of Panama
are thus described in letter from F II.
Hassler, esq, formerly American Consul at
Panama
In reply to your letter Of the 25th ult.,
asking information in regald TO the Isthmus
Of Panama, have to say that the seasons
are divided into dry and wet the first com
mences about the end OF December and lasts
three months, the latter continues from April
10 December The quantity OF water fall
ling, during this period, far exceeds the an
nual quantity Of that upon like extent Of
surface in any part Of Europe or OF the Uni
ted States, and is probably as much as ninety
inches; the estimated average for middle
Europe and America is about forty inches.
In April, the weather becomes cloudy at
meridian, but after drzzing Tor an hour
clears up. In May, 8 10 IL, il is dull, with
slight rams, the afternoon being still fine ;
as the season advances, the rain gradually
increases, and IS incessant throughout july,
August, September, and October. In No
vember, the nights are always wet and cloudy,
hnt through the day the sky begins to break.
December brings further improvement, and
in January, February, and Match, rain is
uncommon, Of about as frequent as in your
city, but not much at a time At Panama,
the thermometer IN the rainy season does
not rise higher at night than s2o, nor in tn.
day than. s7N the winds are variable and
cool; no stagnation occurs in the air, conse
quently no epedemc sickness. In the dry
season the thermometer rises to 800 and 93c,
but at night the land breezes are cool, and
render the nights quite as agreeable, in fact.
more SO, than is often the case with us
The unhealthy season is the wet, and feyers
Of different kinds are prevalent; but | do not
think that the cases are more numerous than
10 many parts Of our western country, q
mean Panama. and in most cases are con-
sequent upon some negligence, but il is GER
tainly the contrary at the village and on the
River Chagres, i being always, and under
all circumstances, very sickly.

BERLIN, January Z, 1919.
One day last month, Kossuth the Hungarian Gen.
eral commanding the insurgent troops, employed a
naturalized American citizen Of Hungary to proceed
10 the American Charge dAflaires at Vienna, Mr..
Stiles with letter to that gentleman, requesting
him TO address letter to The General commanding
the Austrian army in Hungary, and solicit, In the
name OF humanity, suspension Of hostilities, that
an arrangement might be made for settling the un-
fortunate war.
MIR. Stiles accordingly wrote the Austrian General
and offered his Intervention to aid in ACCOMPLISHING
this desirable end and sent his dispatches 10 the
Austrian General by thsnaturalized Hungarian Amer
lean, giving him a courier passport.
This bearer Of dispatches proceeded to the Austr-
an army and delivered his dispatches to the com.
handing General.
The General asked him who he wns when he re-.
piled, that he was Hungarian by birth but now
naturalzed citizen Of the United States The Ans
trian General then said to him -
II give you ten days to leave the Austrian terrific
ries, at the expiration of which time If you are to
be found within my reach you shall have a snug
home for your future residence.
This naturalized American immediately left Austria
and came TO Berlin. Some time after this the Aus
trian General addressed communication TO our
charge nj Vienna, Mr.. Stiles, with this laconic re-
ply -

LATE NEWS FROM THE GOLD RE-
GIONs.

We republish to-day mass Of interesting
news from the gold regions.
1t would appear that there has been deal
of exaggera,ion, in regard to the ease with
which gold could be picked up, in regard to
It's abundance, and in respect to the high
prices Of living. Mr., Atherton's account
looks more like sober truth than any thing
we have>yet seen from the new Ophir -
The letters Of Commodore Jones are not
SO subdued as Mr. Atherton's accounts, but
we may hope, in due time, that the official
dispatches from California will get down to
the zero Of canness
We sincerely trust that Congress will
wake up to their duty IN relation to Calilor-
MIA and hasten to admit her as a State, so
that she can get government Of her own
making. The condition Of things in the gold
regions demands prompt action on the part
OF the present Congress, and we can see no
better plan ior settling the difficulty, than
for all parties to take up and make Mr..
Preston's bill law forthwith
By the fifteenth OF March we shall proba-
bly, be in receipt Of intelligence from San
Francisco 10 the 18th of February, by the
steamship California, which we are glad to
see has arrived upon her station,

was knocked down with colt in the hand OF some
villain, and robbed of his witch and one humid.

dangerous for our citizens living In the subberbs 10
be out after dark there is scarcely night but some
person is knocked down and robbed.
II may be asked, where the watchmen1 We
would say in reply, that no city can boast of more
yigilon and &c iae acake watch than our own, but
what can twenty-five watchmen do in our city of
magnificent disancesl" They cannot be every
where at the same time. The worthy Captain sever
on the alert, and does as much as any one man can
do.
As our cityks rapidly filling up with strangers to
witness the Inauguration, we would suggest thar
our city councils AT their next sitting make provl-
sion for the employment of an additional number of
watchmen, as 1t certainly win be necessary for the
protection not only of our citizens but Of the thou
sands who will be present from every part Of the
Union.

Light Infantry, spirited and well disciplined corps
