"A portion of Gen. Hunters command
have arrived here from the scene of opcr-

We learn from Capt. J. c. Lynn that

in all the movements of Gen. Hunter
after tho occupation of Staunton.
The loss of the Regiment--mostly in
the assault on Lynchburg-were three
killed, twenty wounded and eight missing.
This Regiment has been too often abused
by many persons, who. without any just
cause, have predicted that when in en-
gagement with the rebels they would not
stand fire. We think now, after their
late campaign in the Valley of Virginia.
the utter injustice Of such predictions is
clearly demonstrated. The battle took
place on the 18th of June. The follow

We wish some of our friends having
leisure and the proper instruments, would
communicate to us for publication. their
notes of the weather for the last two
months. We are confident that the rec
ord would exhibit very strange appear
suce. In the absence Of any instru-
mental observations, we should say that
within the period named we have had the
benefit Of the hottest weather, and also
the coolest, ever known here at tie s.me
season Of the year. TIE transitions from
one extreme to the other arc Of a sudden
hess and abruptness very remarkable.
One day we are sweltering in the thin
nest and lightest clothing possible, and
the next shivering in our winter woolens;
nay, we go to bed at night in .cmpera-
ture too warm to permit RS to go to sleep.
and we rise in the morning from under
our heaviest blankets. A man going a
days journey is doubtful whether to dress
himself for winter or summer, and is sure
to make a mistake whatever be decides
upon.
In the same period, too, we have had
like extremes Of rain and drought. with
out. Of course. the same suddenness of
change. The windows of Heaven open,
and the &c DDS come. 1t does not rain;
it pours. The earth is saturated; the
streams rush, swollen and turbid, towards

sweeps away its bridges. damages the
canal, and for time paralyscs the bust
ness CT the county. In few days there
is change. The Heavens arc as brass,
and the earth as iron; vegetation withers
under the burning rays of sun undim-
med for weeks by single cloud; the
smaller streams disappear, and the river
itself subsidies into its holes" Could
the rainfall of April and May have been
equally distributed, it would have suf-
feed for both those months, and the three
summer months besides. But now our
too common summer drouth has set in,
and we fear for the whole season. All
the signs of rain uniformly fail. There
are refreshing showers east, west. north
and south Of US, but not drop falls here.

but day after day the glowing sun pur-
sues his course through brassy sky un-
til "hope deferred makes the heart sick. +"
If the rainfall due to this latitude is, as
we suppose, forty inches, we do not be-
lieve that an average Of years affords us
much more than half that quantity, near
ly all Of which falls in the winter and
early spring months. But let US have
the figures; for we are sure that some Of
our citizens have the means Of furnishing

The Western Maryland
Railroad.

We publish to-day communication
respecting tho Western Maryland Rail
road which is entitled to word Of notice
from us, lest it should be supposed By
some of'our readers thaA vc endorse the
views Of the writer. Wercpcat the state.
mcns VIC made in this connection last
week. that Allcgany County has no in
terest that would not be benefited by an
other Enc es communication with tide
water. This fact is so apparent that we
wonder that any citizen of the County
should entertain any doubt of it whatever,
Take the Coal trade for instance. We
are informed that the transportation, sup
piled by the Railroad Company does not
amount to one half the demand for it;
and this deficiency of transportation 80
far as it goes, amoants to surprcss;yn
Of our staple .iade. Our correspondent
makes allus;on to New York Capital
lists" as if they were the only ones to be
benefited by the proposed new railroad;
fully admitting, however, that it would
be advantageous to them. Now, We ask
our correspondent, if he knows of any
way whatever, in which an additional
line Of transportation for our Coal could
he Of advantage to the New York Capital
lists, who, he assumes, own our mines,
without corresponding Or even greater
be-e6ts enuring to our own resident citi-
zens, to every man, woman and child in
The county, himself not excepted.
As to the double track road from New
York to Washington everybody knows
that the single line between those great
cities was utterly inadequate to the bust
ness thrown upon it by the war, and that
the very existence of the Government was
at one time imperilled for want Of greater
facilities. The parties owning the differ
ent roads composing the line did not seem
to care whether the country was saved or
not, SO far as any effort of theirs to in
crease their facilities went, until a move
ment was made l'y patriotic parties to
open new line which should secure COM
munication between the political and COM
mercial Capitals of the nation. This
movement stirred up the Railroad Com
panies, and they commenced double
tracking their roads. But does our cor
respondent believe they would ever have
done so had they not been stimulated by
fear of the new line. Let the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad 60 on to double track
its line from Cumberland to Baltimore as
soon as it pleases-the sooner the better
There will be trade enough for both it
and the Western Maryland Railroad.
We can all see that there is no present
prospect of anything being done in the
way of extending facilities on the former
line under tie present state of things in
the country. But there is no reason
why the Western Maryland should not
be begun and pushed on to completion a,
once onthe contrary there is every reason,
so far as the business of this country and
the interests of the Government are con-
cerned, why We should take hold of and
make the road
