TEMPERATtRE-The thermometer stood at
35 degrees in Virginia at o'clock this morning.
4 glance at our streets revealed rivers of mud
young avalanches of liquid earth-the snow
upon the roofs was melting rapidly and running
in streams from the caves of the buildings-and,
turn which way you would, all was one omni-
present slop. Now, every one recouects tue
cold, freezing weather which has visited Virginia
within the past two weeks, and during That time
the lOudeSt indication by the thermometer was
Is degrees, and there Were only three mornings
that il went below 81 degrees. Our readers Will
recolect that at the time we mentioned the CIR
cumstance of water freezing when the ther-
mometer was at As degrees AMI asking Tor an eN-
plantation We thought we were propoundmg q
poser then but that was nothing. The question
now is how is it that water freezes AT I'D degrees
and melts ut 35l and will give any one
leather medal as big as Sam Arnolds starwho
will give a rational answer.

TUE President AT GETrYsBuRG.--
Surprisingly fine as Mr.. Everett's ora
ton was in the Gettysburg conservation,
the Springfield Republican thinks the rhe-
torical honors of the occasion were won by
President Lincoln. His little speech was
a perfect gem deep in feeling, correct IN
thought and expression, and tasteful and
elegant in every word and comma. Then
it has the merit of unexpectedness IN Its
verbal perfection and beauty We had
grown so accustomed to homely and I'M
perfect phrase in his productions that we
had come to think it was the law OF his
utterance. But this shows that he can
talk handsomely as well as act sensibly.
The following is q report OF this speech,
made after the address by Mr.. Everett
and which, followed by dirge and ben
ediction, closed the exercises of the occa-
sion
-Four score and seven years ago, our
fathers fought, and brought forth upon this
| continent a new nation conceived IN hber-
| tv and dedicated to the proposition that
| all men are created equal. (Applause. J
Now, we are enga' cd in great civil war
testing whether that nation or any nation
so conceived and so dedicated can long
| endure. We are met on great battle
! field Of that war! We are met to dedi-
cate a portion of it as the final resting
place of those who here gave their lives
that that nation might live. 1t is alto
gether fitting and proper that we should
do this, but in a larger sense we cannot
dedicate, we cannot hallow this ground.
Brave men, living and dead, who strug-
gled here, have consecrated it far above
our power to add or detract. Applause.
The world little will note nor Mhg remem-
Der what we say here, but it can never fer
get what they did here. (Applause.) It is
for us, the living, rather TO be dedicated
| here to the finishing of the work that they
have, so far, thus nobly carried on. Gap
| plause.) 1t is rather for us to be here
| dedicated to the great task remaing before
US; that from these honored dead, we
take increased devotion to that cause
for which they here gave the last full mea-
sure of devotion; that we here hlghly re-
so We that the dead shall not have died IL
vain (applause); that the nation shall,
under God, have new birth Of freedom
I and that governments of the people by tht
people and for the people, shall not perish
from the earth. Long continued ap
plause with cheers for the president and
the governors of the loyal states.

In view of the dedication OF the oe'tys-

a sermon preached in Maine, over brave
Young volunteer who fell on that field Is
appropriate.

PRospECTs OF FOREIGN WAR. Tn

4
probabilities of foreign war are not d.
minishing. The New York Times says it
has private advices from Russia, through
one::that cannot be mistaken, that the Car
is making preparations for war on an un-
precedented scale, in respect to the recruit
ment of men, the rerlenishment of NUM-
items, the construction of invulnerable yes
sells, the building Of new forts and the
strengthening of old ones, and In respect
to everything needful for the mghtiest de-
fensive conflict. 1t is also declared that
the national feeling among the people is
daily becoming intenser and more warllke,
and that the determination is to sustain the
Emperor in his heightened foreign policy,
1t would not be strange if Napoleon should
find that he will have as much as he can
do without attempting to regulate affairs
in Mexico.

GOLD Discovery. 1t is alleged, upon
reliable authority, that important discov-

THE Coal QUESTION, in which every
body is interested, is very clearly dis
cussed by the Miners Journal. The fact
is demonstrated that the exhorbitant price
of coal is the result of monopoly, which
would rob the whole country, and bring

its greed for unreasonable gain.
