Influence of Lake Michigan.
BY I. A. LAPHAM.

On the last two days of the year 1859,
and on new years day of 1860, the
wind, in the REGION of Lake Michigan
was blowing strongly from the north
west, bringing with it a considerable
share of the cold already accumulated
on the great plains of Minnesota and
"Prince Rupert's Land These three
days will long be rememberedas one of
the sharpest of the "cold terms on rec
ord in this latitude. The thermometer
at Milwaukee indicated a daily mean
! temperature of 3, II, and degrees be-
low zero, respectively.
Certain native forest trees, shrubs, and
herbs, as well as the peach, the finer
sorts of cherry &c., cannot withstand
this truly excessive degree of cold
This northwest wind passed directly
over the suface of Lake Michigan, the
waters Of which impaired to it a eonaid-
cradle portion of heat thus materially
softening it before reaching the eastern
shore. The thermometer at Grand Ha-
ven, opposite Milwaukee, indicatrd, at
the time alluded to- daily mean tenn
perature of IA, II, and Z degrees above
zero---shoWing an increase of II, %,
and Is degrees of heat respectively
What happened on this particular oc-
casion happens whenever the cold west
winds blow across the lake, and what
occurred at Grand Haven occures along
the whole eastern shore in greater or
less degree.
One consequence Of this moderation
of the severe cold of winter is, that GER
tain native forest trees, shrubs and
herbs-the tulip tree sassafras, flower
ing dog-wood, pawpaw &C., are found
growing farther north on the east than
on the west share of the lake Some
practical botanists should examine this
subject and report the details, which
cannot but prove useful and interesting.
Horticulturists and Pomologists take
advantage of this mildness Of tempera-
ture on the east shore, and are able to
supply the people across the lake with
peaches and other FRUITS and vegetables
which they cannot raise at home. 1t is
little curious to find that the belt Of
country having this advantage along the
shore, is narrow one-for when we go
to the higher lands ten or twenty miles
from the lake, the same severity of cold
is found as along the western shore
The cold wind seems to pass over the
warm air filling the basin of the lake
below, and strikes the eastern margin Of
the basin with all its severity of cold
Who shall say, therefore, that Lake
Michigan is a barren and useless waste
of water-it has its appointed Office, in
winter as well as in summer-it was not
made in vain

From North Carolina.

Newberne advices to the 22d state
that deserters from Wilmington report
two iron clads with five inch plating on
eighteen inch wood, mounting heavy
guns, about ready to make raid on the
blockading squadron. They are about
the size of the first Merrimac, and lay
very deep in the water, and are only
able to make three or four miles per
hour. Wilmington is very strongly for
tilted, and small force can hold it
against great odds. In the vicinity of
Wilmington, near the borders of South
Carolina, large number ofsoldiers and
fconscripts are entrenched, and success
fully resisting the rebel authority, hav-
ing had three engagements already.
The rebel Secretary of War has or
dered all North Carolina troops into
other States for immediate service, on
account of the growing dissatisfaction
among them. Georgia and South Car
olina troops are to take their place in
this State.
The Woman and children on Cape
Hatteras Banks, numbering some 900,
are in very destitute condition. Every
man and boy there capable of bearing
arms is voluntarily doing military duty
in defence Of the Union.
Aid for families is hoped for from the
North. The fortitications in this de-
partment are being made impregnable.
Gen. Foster has rendered to Gen, Dix
and the authorities at Washington the
services Of all nine months men in this
Department, who are ready to march at
moments notice.

and viii give you pretty pair Of pig

brin,.full of kindness, and we are quite GER
tain that our own was filed with better feel

force Of this touching example. e.-Poftlarao
