How 10 ForeteH Weather.

In a manual of the thermometer, compiled by
Rear Admiral Fitzroy. and just published by the
Board of Trade, London, the following obserya-
tiOns occur -
Whether clear or cloudy, a rose sky ut sun
set presages fair weather, Il red sky in the morn
ing bad weather, or much wind (~perlaps rain y
"A gray sky in the morning, fine weather Il high
dawn, wind Il low dawn, fair weather. Soft
look or delicate clouds fOretell fine weather, with
moderate or light breezcs hard-edged oily-look-
ing clouds, wind. y dark, gloomy, blue sky is
windy but Il light, bright blue sky indicates
fine weather.
.. Generally. the softer clouds look the less
wind (but, perhaps, more rain) may be expected !;
and the harder, more greasy, rolled, tutted, or
ragged, the stronger the coming wind will prove.
Also, Il bright yellow sky at sunset PreSages wind :;
Il pale yellow, wet and thus, by the prevalence
Of red, yellow, or gray tints, the coming weather
may be fOretold very nearly, indeed If aided by
Instruments, almost exactly.
Small, inky looking clouds foretell rain :;
light scud clouds driving across heavy masses show
wind and rain but if alone may indicate wind
only. High upper clouds crossing the sun, moon,
or stars, in Il different direction from that of
the lower clouds, or the wind then felt below,
foretell a change of wind. When sea birds fly
out early. and far to saaward, moderate winds
and fair weather may be expected when they
hang about the land, OF over it, sometimes flying
inland, expect a strong wind with stormy weather.
There are other signs of Il change in the
weather known less generally than may be desir-
able, and. therefore, worth notice as when birds
of long night. rocks, swallows, or Others hang
about home, or fly up and down or low-rain or
wind may be expected. Also when animals seek
sheltered places, instead of spreading over their
usual range when pigs carry straws to their
sites when smoke from chimney does not ascend
readily, Tor straight upwards during calm,) an
unfavorable change is probable.
Dew is an indication of fine weather so is
fog. Neither of these two formations occur I'M
der an overcast sky, or when there is much wind.
One sees fog occasionally rolled away, as it were,
by wind, but seldom or never formed while it is
blowing"

CORRESPONDENCE OF TIE JOURNAL"
CAMP KALoRAMA NEAR WASHINGTON,
Sent. 2Sth. 1861,


FRIEND Row Not having observed in any
copies of the RaJtsmGn's Journal letter from
this camp, l thought perhaps one from here
might be interesting to some of your readers.
| believe that none of the Clcarield boys prior
10 this, have encamped here. AT present NJ ,
Knights Regiment. IN connection with sever
al other Regiments, occupy what is called
Camp kalorama. This camp is situated about
two miles from the capital on what is designa-
ted kalorama or Georgetown Heights
which command good view of both Washing
ton and Georgetown. This place must for
merly have been magnficently beautiful. The
whole vicinity around was prior to any en-
campment here, pretty grove of cedars, and
the place used for carriage drivers. But the
ravages of the soldiers. like the ravages of
time, have somewhat despoiled it of its former
beauty. and nought else is left at present save
the hill itself-the trees having been appro-
priated 10 the use of the soldier, the wood for
fuel, and the boughs tor beds. Our Regiment
has been encamped here for about three weeks.
On last Friday moved our quarters from
one part of the camp TO another, which gave
US some idea of "pulling up stakes and mar
ching. Several of us visited ssCamp Tennal-
ly'' few days since. This Camp is situated
about three miles from here. We found the
Washington Cadets generally well. They are
at present under marching orders, and seem
to feel impatient tor the word to start. We
also visited the "Buck-tail' Regiment. This
Regiment but lately came into Camp Tennal-
Iy. think they arrived on last Wednesday.
Capt. Irvin's company are with few excep-
tions, all we'll, and seem to be ready to meet
the enemy at any time. At Camp Tennaly
there is erected one fort and mounted with e.
leven guns Of large calibre, and another in
process of erection. If we are obliged to stay
in this section of country during the winter,
(Which hope we will not } by roofing the forts,
/ should think that they would make excel
lent winter quarters for the soldiers.
About noon to-day, M'knight's Regiment
received orders to march in one hour for 9Th
street wharf. Accordingly, we struck our
tents and started, all being in somewhat of a
dilemma as to what use could possibly be
made OF US, without being armed or uniformed.
Some of the more nnruIy members among us,
who bad been engaged while here, al sundry
times in divers improper ways, came to the
conclusion that as punishment for our sins,
We We're to be placed to digging trenches or
throwing up forts, bnt our fears were some
what calmed, by having the order counter
manded before We had quite reached the
place designated in the order, and we were o.
bliged to turn back to ..kalorama." SO here
We are, with orders 10 be armed and uniformed
by Monday at 10 O'Clock, and hold ourselves
in readiness TO march at momentsj notice.
The boys belonging to this Regiment from
Clearield, are all we'll. Yours &C., G. & A.
