The Men win augurs.

One Of the happiest hits made by Hon.
Jos. Holt in late speech, was when he al
luded to the impossibility of keeping the
Ship of State afioat, when men in the North
were at work with augurs, boring holes in
the bottom. The men with augurs are at
work in this State aad in this county
They tell the people that our volunteers are
poorly fed, and not paid, and they do all in
their power to dissuade men from entering
the ranks of the army. Another class go
about retailing the cant, that teight mil
lions of freemen were never conquered"
and hence the war must be interminable.
Others are "pesce" men-anxious to sac
ri6ce anything to give the country peace,
and thereby restore prosperity and happi-
ness, and many favor the recognition of the
South and the destruction of the Federal
Union. All these are the men with augurs,
who are doing all in their power to frus-
trate the designs of the patriots who have
gone from their homes and families to save
the honor ofthe country by thesword. While
the soldiers of the Republic are exposing
their lives and sacrificing their comfort to
save the Ship of State from shipwreck and
ruin, these miscreants are doing all in their
power to aggravate every difficulty and
paralyze the efforts of those who are labor
ing to save the government from subver
sion. This class call themselves States
Rights men, and in their late Conventions
have boldly enumerated the doctrine that
they owe allegiance first to their own State
and afterwards to the Federal Government.
The Judge of the Supreme Court in New
York has, in a recent trial for treason, held
that the allegiance of every citizen is due
first to the National government and the
failure to acknowledge it, and the resist
ance of it in favor of State allegiance, is
treason.
1t is a humiliating thought that in the
North there should be found any man who
does not recognize the fact that it is his
hottest duty and obligation to sustain the
Federal Union. Never was there cause
more sacred, more just or more urgent, and
he who in this crisis falters, or in the NEST
distant manner aids the common foe, de-
serves to be treated as an alien enemy. Let
the men who are boring the bottom Of the
Ship of State, while our brethren are work
ing ct the pumps, be watched. Assuredly
all such are traitors 10 the wisest and frees
government known to the civilized world.

ture of Tennessee, asking Andrew johnson 10
resign his seat on account Of his late speech in
favor of the Union. 1t is believed that his an

adversaries to meet him face to face. No man

HEAT AND COLD IN THE UNITED STATES
The meteorological tables which accompany
the report on the Sickness and Mortality of
the Army of the United States, are very full
and complete. 1t appears therefrom that the
greatest thermometrical range at any of the
military posts, is l47 degrees, this being at
Fort Ripley, Minnesota at Fort Kent, in
Maine, it is l37 degrees. The greatest degree
OF cold at the former post is 90 below zero,
and at the latter 81 below zero. In not far
from the same latitude, in the region of the
lakes, and at similar altitude at Forts Brady
and Howard, in Michigan, the range is scarce
ly less. At Fort Wilkins, on lake Superior,
which is almost surrounded by water the de-
gree of cold is only below zero In Wash
ington Territory at Fort Steilacoom, in the
same latitude the range is only 95 degrees, the
mercury falling to only one degree below zero.
The greatest heat is at Fort Yuma, in South.
ern California, situated in latitude 80 on the
Colorado River; the average maximum heat
for three and half years being l2l degrees,
and the range 1O2.

Good News from Italy.

From the Christian World we gather the
following truly gratifying intelligence

northern and central parts of Italy. We can
count no less than twenty cities and consider
able towns where the word of God is regular
ly preached, in chapels and churches, to con.

TO several hundred. And all this in the Ita
ian language, with two or three exceptions in
which the German and French are used. Good
books are printing at Turin, and still more at

work in all parts of Italy, excepting Venctia
