INFLUENCE OF TREES UPON CLIMATE.-Jochim
Frederick Sahouw, Professor of Botany at Copen-
hagen, speaks follows of the influence of forests
Hpon the atmosphere:
We find the most evident signs OF it in the torrid
zone. The forests increase the rain and moisture
and produce springs and running streams tracts
destitute of woods become very strongly heateu,
the air above them ascends perpenclcnlatiy' anu
thus prevents the clouds irom'sinklng anu 'he CON
slant winds, (trade winds or monsoons,J wnere
they can blow uninterruptedly over large surfaces,
do not allow the transition of vapors into tue form
of drops. In the forests, on the contrary, tne
clothed soil does not become SO heateu, ana, De-
sides the evaporation from the trees tavors cool
mo. therefore when the currents OF air loaded with
yanors reach the forests they meet with that which
copdenses them and change into rain. Since,
moreover. evaporation of the earth goes on more
slowly beneath the trees, and since these also
eyaporate very copiousy in a hot climate, the
atmosphere in those forests has high degrees of
humidity, this great humidity at the same time
producing many springs and streams"

GAS a lad, the son of Mr.. James Terri of Cum

Shepherdstown, on last Sunday. the tow-line sud
denly snapped with great violence. The broken
rope sprung back like lightning, and as it sprang
back It wrapped itself about the boys leg, making
a lamb knot, and casting the boy to the ground.
Thus they dragged the poor lad by the leg for two
miles and half over the rough jagged stones that
crowd the tow-path in that section. When the
mules stopped it found that the boys
head and face had been bruised almost into Jelly;
his garments were in tatters, and his limbs were
torn and broken, while bits of flesh and spots of
blood were left upon the stones He still breathed,
but never spoke after he was rescued. On Monday
morning his mangled remains were put on board of
the cars and returned to his home in Cumberland

The success of the paval expedition and the pre-
babiity of the speedy opening Of two OF more cot
ton ports on the Southern coast has had an electri
cal effect upon financial and political sairs ct the
Nsrth. Confidence in government securities and in
future business operations has been greatly nereas
ed. The Government viii be thus enab'ei to OBJ
tain loans for the support Of the war, ami fresh
impulse will be given to recruiting for the federal
army.
Accounts fron the Northern cities sh3w that the
war is not much felt there; that many are making
fortunes out Of it, and that the people IS . mass
would not consent to peace, except upon the con
dision suded to by Gen Scott in his recent address
to public bodies in New York, to wit: the triumph
Of the Union arms and an honorable adjustment of
national difficulties. The belief, prevalent in the
South, that there viii be such speedy reaction Of
Northern sentiment upon the subject as viii force
peace, Is evidently erroneous
1t is understood that great efforts will be made
by the Government, with the appreciation of Con-
gress, to augment the naval establishment to rem
der the blockade Of the Southern coast effective
and to send expeditions against important aud as
sailabe point
The heads of departments, bureaus, ETC., have
made seme progress, it is said in preparing their
reports, and the President, in preparing his mes
sage to Congress, will be able to present \ more
favorable view Of things than he could have done

time and the meeting of Congress may be full Of
important events, that viii have important bear
ing upon the course of the Government.
There viii be at the ensuing session some opposi-
ton to the present tariff, butit will not avail. The
