RICHMOND, October 10, 1852.
After a three weeks drought, we had this
morning a gentle rain of an hour. not sufficient
indeed, to lay the dust, bat most welcome as an
earnest of q change Of temperature, which, how
ever, has not as yet taken place. At a P. N
the mercury stood in the open air, where not
even the little power of the sun through tie
clouds could directly affect it, at 81 degrees. As
we hear of no abatement Of the yellow fever at
Wilmington, this oppressive heat accompanying
moisture is regarded as unfavorabIe, more so
than if the drought had continued. The vicis-
situdes of the weather are pretty nearly the
same along the whole line Of the Atlantic coast,
SO that we can judge accurately eneugh, maxi
ing the due allowance for the difference of lati-
tude, what the Asmpsratars il A. Bostsn or at
St. AugSsiHs-Eot so beyond ise AIlsgennies,
for at Nashville or Memphis il is oAen cool when
We are suffering and Sise vsrsa. 4 few daysat
fur1hsst, however, must bring q frost, gladly TO
be looked for BY everybody, we're it not for the
poor soldiers without shoes or blsnkess, and the
INDECENT people of tks cities without coal.
The disaster at Cennlh has crezsd a feeling
of depression, nssuraIy saough, uiaos it Is the
first tims hat oar III have suffered asy BE-
risus rsveEBs IN q fsAs with tao Yankees st a
distance from their gunboas. We are cAsered,
howevG, by the assursnee that the army Of
Price and Van DOrn has fallen back in good
order to 4 place of safety, 10 prepare for repair
ing the isjWy we hAVs sUsAieed.
The effect Of this victory at the North will be
greatly to strengthen the government in thsap-
preaching elections, though there was never any
good grouad to suppose that the Black RsgObi-
cans would eVeryvhsre be defeated. TIE De
mocgscy of New York, under the lead of Ho-
ratio Seymour, las the bsst show, bat it viii
make only a feeble stsRd sgsisss the well-oT-
ganised fansticism of Greeley, Raymond, Weed
81 Co. WadswoHth, their candidate, is fully
committed to the internal purposes Of Lincoln
as announced in his proclamation, and the new
cry Of death to slavery' will sweep the En-
pire State like a whirlwind. We must make up
our minds to the fullest endorsement by the
Yankees of the policy of their President, and
prepare to make a yet more Tesolute and IN
dauntsd resistance to their schemes Of invasion
than ever.
Congress will csTtsialy adjourn On Mondsy, it
is said, and, indeed, so many members have al
ready lef the city, IN anticipation Of the adjourn
ment, that it is difficult to obtain a quorum in
she lower House. The Senate continues the
greater part of the time in executive session
with closed docrs, engaged il discussing mess
ures Of retaliation for the abolition programme
of The Federal administration.
SEINE interesting now trophies were displayed
to-day in toe library room Of the capitol one
of these is Pope's camp colora, a regular United
States flag Of bunting, made at Albany, New
York, and bearing tho namo of the maker in
true Yankee style. Another is the company fsg
Of the " Carroll Guards " Of Howard county,
Maryland, = corps organized for the Yankee
army. The flag is 4 b~esutiful one, Of tie finest
silk, Of the stars and stripes " pattern, having
the blue Of The union q fnsly executed
portrait Of Charles Carroll on one side, and TIE
coat Of arms Of Maryland on the other. What
makes il d0uhly precious az a trophy, Is tGs fact
that it was taken in Lhe fight at Westminster,
Maryland, By the grandson Of Charles Carroll,
who is a loyal SousheTner, sad early took up
.yms in our cause. Another flag, taken BY Gen
Stuart, at Cstlett's stston, is . German a.
