WINTER AT LAsr-Janus the double-
faced, ever looking two ways for Sunday,
the deity supposed to have control Of me-
neurological affairs during the first month
of the year, ended his miserable reign on
Saturday night. The weather he had
given US was aracteristic-neither hot
nor cold-feul or fair-just indeed that
sort, intended apparently to please every
body, which pleased nobody. His Cappa-
docian reign, however, was succeeded slo.
riously by hoary old Februarius, who came
bounding in on furious nor wester, fore.
ing down the thermometer to 4 below, and
after pinching the saucy cheeks of our
girls in this way, covered the earth-still
rough and unsightly from the stupid work
Of his predecsssor-with glorious mantle
of snow. The ice men are in high glee-
the merry jingle of the sleigh bells is
heard everybody looks pleasant and
CHEEKY. Hurrah for winter.

FROM A SOLDIER OF THE
POTOMAC ARMY.

EDITOR NoNPARETL - The following
letter from my nephew, Doc. s.. S. Bur-
rows, surgeon in the Potomac army at
Dumfreys, Va, LIST brigade End division
Of the 18th army corps, shows the esti-
mate the soldiers put on the doings of
the Copperhead wing of the Democratic
party, and I deem it, therefore, sufficient
ly interesting to justify its publication in
your loyal sheet. He says in a letter to
me from that place in January last: any
eyes have been satisfied with seeing the
bitter fruits of this causeless rebellion,
and yet am not, nor are the brave. sol
diers ready, after all they have suffered,
to say, give me peace with divided
country" No! we must fight on and on,
God only knows how long. Ny history
has been linked with the so persistently
whipped Army Of the Potomacl / was
not with Nc, ''of the tender foot" on the
peninsula, but with Pope, sharing with
him the fate of this great army of the ILL
starrd Potomac. Great in its numbers
and resources, the defeat of Burnside at
Fredericksburg being the most terrible of
all.
Well, uncle, what do you think of the
WARP Idon' feel to say much after these
great calamities, but I take one thing for
granted, be the result as it may, other
wise, slavery has got its death stab
Thank God and Uncle Abe / don't feel
bad about it either but, .Sampsonlike
will the Government temple fall with it?'
With Shakespear, Il fear itH' The
cursed ''tares" of slavery have SO entwined
their coils with our otherwise free insti-
tutions, as to threaten to engulf us in one
common ruin. In<yiew of all this, uncle,
do you still hope for a bright and glorious
future for uss Our political horizon
looks dark now, and if the glow Of free.
dom and success shine brightly behind
the dark cloud, "I' las the soldiers say1
''don't quite see it now" With the es-
tablishment of q Southern Confederacy,
fatal precedentwill be made for the re-
manning loyal States, which may be fol
lowed by the West separating from the
East and so on, till petty kingdoms take
the place of our hitherto glorious repub-
lie; but we viii hope better results and
fight On and ever, till all is saVed3or lost. "
To (which patriotic sentiments, l cheer
fully, hopefully, and almost prophetically
responded in my reply, as the brighten.
ing skies illumined by our late triumphs
now so happily justify. s. NJ. SMITH.
