Spring is upon us In earnest
S.s heen such for two days as 70 temp
.v.r,l.ody abroad, and even so warm as 10 com
-, ..Ass,rians who seek comfort to take the
.h.dv aide of the street. The grass is green
a.. trees are bursting into foliage, and the sing
inc Of birds fills the air. One month ago yes'er
IA, the workmen were spading up the Presl
dents garden, and it now looks nearly finished
The hot bed plants are all large, and forcing
themselves over their prison-walls. The souti
winds here blowing as they do over the e1'en
.ive plains of North Carolina, and long s'fe'cn
OF Virginia, are very warm even az % ea'Y
period in the spring as this comparing '"e
son with that of the States north ana east VIC
find that single degree OF latitude makes az
least a weeks difference in It's comparative iof'
va,dne,s. Thus Washington is full two weeks
:. ADVANCE of New-York, three weeks In adj
,.nce of Boston, and six weeks before large
,.,, of Maine, New-Hampshire and Vermont.
Annlvipg this rule to the Southern States, and
.hs Snrine here is, on the other hand, six weeks
later than at Charleston, and two months OF
more later than at Mobile and New-Orleans'
Although this has been an unusually severe
winter. have not observed that the frost has
ever penetrated the ground so as to make tne
earth difficult to move with the spade. SO little
ernosed TO frost, indeed, is this latitude deemed
TO be, that a large portion OF the houses are
built without cellars, and the immense root-crops
of .ome of the largest farms in the vicinity re-
main in sheds above ground throughout the WIN
ter without injury.
A good deal Of liveliness has manifested Nseh
within day or two in Loco-Foco circles on the
question of the Presidency. MARsHALLs speech
has operated something like galvanic battery
mon the "fogies' The DOUGLAS hosts are
seen issuing, by young gentlemen Of fancy, from
every copse and every glen. General Pro-
gress,"" Universal Annexation" and Money
10 Let" is to be the motto OF Young America,
as laid down in the new programme. The old
Democratic doctrines OF Retrenchment, Econ
omy and Reform are to be left to the "foges,"
as altogether too antiquased for the party oil
Progress and DOUGLAS. Anybody who has
mules to let at five dollars day. and drinks
to sell at fifty cents piece, will please send
their address to "Young America" at Washing
ton. The demand is expected to be large from
now till the end of the campaign.
am requested to state that the paragraph
which appeared in The N. Y. Evening Post of
Friday last, stating that Grace Greenwood" is
upon the point of embarking for Europe with the
design of appearing on the stage in England, is
a ridiculous fabrication. This charming writer
may indeed visit the Old World in the course Of
the coming summer, though even this is not
fully determined upon but she has not the
slightest intention of attempting any histrionic
performance, either in the connection alluded to
or IN any other The ladies would be obliged if
the gentlemen would mind their own business.
