postage stamp on it, and send it
10 your brother, son, or friend,

Of that flag under whose protect

Eevery letter we receive from
a Randolph volunteer ends with
these words "Send us the JouR-
NAL; we want the home news
Now it is very plain to all tina,
we can not send two or three
hundred copies of the Journal
TO our brave volunteers every
week, and equally plain that the
boys have not the money to spare
to pay for papers. We send sew
eral copies weekly to each com
pany that has gone from this Co.,
but they are "worn out before they
get half way around those who
want 10 see the Journal"
We will furnish the JOURNAL
to any one who wishes It sent to
volunteer al the low price oil
One Dollar and Twenty-Five
Cents, Ito tie paid IN ADVANCED,

the next number and continue TIL
the Ist Of January, 1868.
We will mail the papers regu-
larry, and change the address as
often as they move from one po-
sition to another. We hope TO
receive large list Of names iron
each Township in The County, by
the hands OF patriotic friends
who are ever ready to do some
thing that will benefit our brave
volunteer soldiery. Those who
undertake to solicit such subscrip-
tons will please be very PartIcu-
lar TO ascertain the number of the
company and regiment to which
each volunteer is attached.

OEThe Railroad excitement,
so prevalent among us about a
year ago, is being renewed by our
citizens; this we are glad to see.
The Rebellion has retarded the
prosecution ofthe road TO great
extent. However, We hope the
interest will not abate, but that
our citizens will use every means
and all their energies to procure
the road via Huntsville, so that
if, in the end, ~e DO not get the
road. we will not have to regret
that we were not energetic
enough {: but that we were mis-
trreated by those who managed
the contract.

TIE GREAT LAKEs.-The February number
of the Atlantic Monthly contains an inter
ssting article concerning the Great Lakes
from which we extract the following para
graphs on the fluctuations of their level
A large nunb Der Of facts have been collect
ed by Messrs. Foster and Whitney on tae
subject of these oscillations Of the Lake level;
and. in feet, these phenomena have been for
long time familiar 10 the residents on the
Lake shores. They are generally attributed
BY scientific men 10 atmospheric pr essure,
producing a corresponding rise or fal in the
water level. These are the sudden and ire
gular fluctuations.
The gradual fluctuations are probably
caused by the variable amount of rain which
falls in the vast area of country drained by
the lakes. Thus, ct Fort Brady, where the
mean of Eve years observation is 20 6S inch
es the extremes are So e2 and q Al.
An idea has been long prevalent among
the old residents, derived from the Indians,
that there is & variation Of the lakes surface
which extends over q period Of fourteen
years,-that is, the lakes rise for seven years
and fall for seven years. The records kept
by accurate observers at various points on
! the lakes do not seem to connrm this theory;
but it has been well established by the re-
cent observations of Col. Graham, at both
ends of Lake Michigan, that there is semi
diurnal lunar tide on that lake Of at least
one-third of foot.
The evaporation from this great water
surface must be immense. It has been esti-
mated at II 800, O00, ,Q0e cubic feet per an
nun ana in this way alone can we account
for the difference between the volume Of
water which enters the lakes and that which
leaves them at the Falls of Niagara. I'm
mense as is the quantity of water which
pours over the falls, it is small in eompari-
son with the floods which combine to make
up the Upper Lakes. .a
