A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE OF CLIMATE.
Here in this vicinity the thermometer
approaches to zero, and ice-dealers look
cheerful and happy, but correspondent
writes from St. Augustine, Florida, Dec
llth, that the orange trees there were
then loaded as heavily with their golden
fruit as ever were Northern apple trees
in year of plenty. The writer believes
it would well repay the trouble and ex-
pense of a journey by any lover Of hor-
tieulture to visit that locality and exam
inc good-sized orange tree laden with
fruit. There are whole orchards of
them. In this delightful spot the Mas
sachusetts Oath is now stationed, recruit
ing their health, after the exhausting la
bors of the siege of Charleston.

APPALL1Na AooinENr.-A nall

APPALLING AooiDENT-A pail of
gloom was spread over the city yester-
day by the intelligence that Master
James Carson, lad of about Is years,
son of Capt. Carson, had shot himself &C.
cidentally. The particulars, as far as we
can learn them, are as follows:
The deceased in company with son
of Hiram Nelson, City Marshal, had gone
out hunting, and while standing on the
Railroad bridge at Pigeon Creek let his
gun slip down between the timbers. In
attempting to draw it up the cock of the
gun caught under the edge Of the timber
aHd slipping, discharged one barrel of
the piece, the charge consisting of seven
buckshot entering his cheek and passing
out through the top of his head, causing
death almost instantly. He never
uttered word after he fell
The sad tidings were at once borne to
the city, and Capt. Carson with some
friends fastened to the scene and bore
the body home.
The grief of the fond parents and rel
atives of the deceased is inconsolablt
and beyond expression. They have the
sympathy of the entire community, il
this dark hour of their affection.

An INFAMOUS PRoPosITIoN.-We are
informed that man was convicted of
felony, -stealing-in the Court of Com
mon Pleas on Wednesday, the Jury
finding him guilty, and fixing his punish
ment at two years confinement in the
Penitentiary Before sentence was pro-
nounced by the Judge, the prisoners
counsel stated that his client was willing
to enlist in the army, and proposed that
the Governor pardon should lie obtain
ed, and that the prisoner be permitted to
go into the army
What do our soldiers in the field think
of such proposition ? Do they feel
honored in the proposition to ell the pla-
ces of their fallen comrades with felon
and thieves
Are the parents and friends of our
brave soldiers in the army willing that
their sons who are honest, and honorable,
noble and brave, should have thieves
placed by their side as companions in
arms?
We know such things have been done,
but We know it was an insult to the sol
diers and disgrace to the nation. This
convicted felon might do to grace the
rauksof the traitor army, but, thank God
there are enough honest patriots in the
land to.wipe out the rebel hosts.
We are further informed that this
thief, whom it is proposed to send to t, I
army to become the comrade and asso
ciate of our sons and brothers, is
