 December 17, 1857 (
 DEAR SIR: l have read with much interest your remarks in reference to the climate of the country crossed by the several proposed mail routes from the Atlantic States to California; The plan you have adopted of taking the naar- imum and minimun temperatures, instead of the mean temperatures, is the true plan of ar- irving at correct results. 1 have for many years been engaged in making hourly observations, night and day. By these am enabled to de- temine the length or duration of cold terms, by counting the hours forward from that on which 1t falls below the freezing point, or below zero, to that on which 1t rose above the freez: ing point, or above zero, as the case may be- It Is the greater or lesser duration of cold terms that is the great desideratum in rightly under standing the climate. On the mountains of Vir- giuia anl Tennessee the temperature in winter frequently falls below zero; but the intense cold does not continue many days
 l" NJ meteorological records embrace vari- ety of climates on the earth's surface, giving for the highest observed temperature, in the shade and wind, one hundred and thirty 13O) degrees Gbore zero to sixty-fve (65) below that hne; making the amount of the two extremes difference oi one hundred and nuety-six (l96) degrees. The extreme heat was as unpleasant " 't4NNAN ho tht tAIcIlc cOlu. l nerc are dis tricts of country where no snow falls although in cold atmosphere; and there are districts in mild climates on which snow occasionally falls of great depth. Within few years some of the western railroads have suffered more from deep SHOWS than the most northern The most northern climates have not the most snow
 Since the commencement of the present century, the waters of some of the western rivers rise higher than during the last half of the last century. l have been induced to be- heve, from examinations have made, that the clearing away the forests of the great west has allowed the rain from the clouds to reach the i ground more uninterruptedly, and to ran of more rapidly, and thus raise the rivers more | raPuiy and more extensively than when the loiiaSe oi the trees intercepted the rain in its ia'i' ana retained portion of it for some hours
 Our meteorological records cover ner;od of sixty consecutive wears. probabiv tbe most extensive in existence. Some of these observations were made on the summit of high mountains, in deep caverns, on extensive nla;9s on the ocean, on the shores of the ,r.a, IaL on the banks of rivers, etc, etc nress,,,;,a 7 facts of great interest to the searcher after ,r,S as 1t is in nature.
