CIRCULATE LOYAL NEwsHAPERs.-The
New York Tribune, speaking of the i'm.
portauce of increasing the circulation of
newspapers preparatory to vigorous cam
paign for the next Presidency, says "the
work of preparation for the eventful can
vass of 1854, properly commences now
Throughout the ensuing three months the
Industrial classes have more leisure than at
otbor seasons. Now is the time to persuade
every farmer, mechanic. teamster or day
laborer, to take at least ono good newspa-
per. and make himself better acquainted
with the daily progress of public affairs
Now is tho timo to SOW broadcast the seeds
which shall ripen tho harvest for next No
vember. Let concerted effort be made 10
place at least one good newspaper, for tho
ensuing year, in every household in tho 10y
al sta,et whore II will be welcomed and
read. Perhaps half of those who do with.
out through mere heedlessness-oni need
to have their attention called to tho subject.
Many more will pay the trifo that cheap
weekly costs If solicited to do so by friend
in whom he has confidence. Aud IL there
be any who can't pay for such a paper, they
ought to be supplied by their more fortI-
nate neigbbors and townsmon without
charge.

Cold Weather in the South.

During tho recent cold snnp, ico formed
on ponds in the vicinity of Nstchoz from
six to eight inches in thickness. And let.
ter from Beaufort, South Carolina, says:
New Years night here was terribly cold
go severe, that three negroes. exposed to the
elomonts, were frozen to death One Of
these victims sat down on the wharf behind
barrel, and was found stark and dead In
the morning. The two others were little
children, and perished in their mother's
arms while in a skif crossing the Port Roy
al river. Such was New Years night. 1864,
in South Caroina--a tropical domain with
Arctic adjunc,s. Good skating was enjoyed
on St. Helona Island throo days ago, and IL
ice houses were here they might have been
filed on Morris and Folly Islands week
since. Is the North pole floating down this
way ?"

RoTALrY ON THE IEcRgAsE.--A late for
eign arrival announces the important fact
that the Princess of Wales has presented
the country With New Years gift in the
shape of live Prince--a seven months sf-
fair-weighing nine pounds. Az the people
of England take their cue from royalty, it is
feared that seven months babies will be-
come fashionable 10 that realm. To pre-
vent any misunderstanding. It may be prop.
or to state that the royal pair were married
on the 10th of March, 1868, aud that the
little Prince WAS boro on the 6tb OF January
Iast-after ON interval of nearly ten monebs.

Hunters Expedition
LIGHT MARCHING EORDER,
Battle With Mcneil.
Arrival at HarrisOnburg.

New YORK, June 9.--The Herald's cor
respondent says of Hunters advance, that
Immediately on assuming command, he is
sued an order for instant preparations to
move. Each knapsack was TO have a hum
dred rounds of ammunition, four pounds oi
hard bread, to last ten days, ten rations Of
coffee, sugar, and salt and one pair OF
shoes and socks, and nothing else. Cattle,
sheep, and hogs, and if necessary horses ano
mules, were to be slaughtered for food.
Under these orders bis little army set
out upon its expedition to perform its part
in Grants grand combustion. 1t was not
only to march, but to fight, iffghting could
be found.
1t appears that Sgel on the 7th of May,
sent out party offour hundred New York
and Pennsylvania cavalry, to overtake a
raiding party, Under Mcneil The enemy
was met, at Moorefeld, and fight ensued,
in which our troops drove the rebels. They
were REINFORCED however, and came back at
least 1900 strong. Charges were made by
both parties, and in the last one the rebels
fell back, but it was deemed useless to con-
tend against such unequal numbers, and
our troops retreated finally, reaching Rom
ney and Springfield, after being oblig to
destroy the whole Of their train.
When Hunter started, the rebels attempt
ed to check his advance, by making a stand
at a creek near Harrisonburg. The rebels
however were driven, and our troops mo
we'd to Harrisonburg.

FIsHINo.-Fishing is like poetry, man

comprehensible and ridiculous. Still, not.

sciples into fresh air, and, usually, pleas
ant scenery. But this latter Injury can,
Of course, only be enjoyed in perfection by
those who recline on grassy bank, or sit
at ease surrounded by creature comforts in

But who cares for expenses, when fishing
