one Of the three armies c0nyerging upon us, his
whole campaign would be broken up. Neither Of tbs

his policy rendered necessary Our country, except
the coast towns would be relieved from the presence OF

The result would be that tho North would have TO

could then give full employment to the rest Of the Fed

What that would cost him, what the effect would be

THE COLD WEATHER continues, though the
sun shone out to- day brightly. Winter upon
US in earnest. The boys arc preparing their
skates anticipating plenty OF sport on the ice
soon. Last night was by many degrees the
coolest we have experienced this season. The
creeks and coves in this neighborhood, and the
river along the shores, were covered with Ice,
this morning, and nearly all the fire plugs we're
frozen 50 tight as to be useless in case they
were needed The gas metres, too, OF some OF
our friends, were rendered useless. We have
often heard Of freezing ''bcass monkeys, but
last night for the first time during tour years,
we experienced a sensation which induced us
70 believe that such feat was possible.

tice Charles Walter, before whom the case
against the Orange aud Alexandra Railroad
Company was tried few days since, has rem
dered his decision thereon, He decides that
the running of steam cars through the avenues
and streets of Washington endangers the lives
and health Of the citizens thereof, and is there
fore nuisance, existing contrary to the proVls-
ion Of common law. He further decides that
It is a misdemeanor which cannot be properly
disposed of by the power Of magistrate, but
belongs rightfully to the jurisdiction OF higher
tribunal. He accordingly held the parties Jas.
DOYLE, l.. J. Gilbert, H. L. Peytenton, and 4.
H. Smith, engineers and conductors IN the
sum of $500 bail each, to appear at the next
session of the higher court In the meantime
all parties who run or attempt to run steam cars
through the avenues and streets OF the city are
liable to arrest. No fines were imposed on the
parties, as no power is given in existing laws to
impose fines in such cases.
