NovEAmER.-The weather on Satur-
day night and yesterday gave us a
keen reminder that winter is upon us,
and that the mild and pleasant days of
October have given place to the chilling
blasts and ftful SHOWS of November.
Yesterday was cold and dreary; the
skies were lead color, while spiteful
spits of snow gave us to understand
TINT November could be ugly, and was
in an ugly mood. Such days are most
agreeable to those who arc comfortably
clad and housed. Let all such persons
bO reminded that now is the time to
remember the poor, who do not possess
these necessary comforts of life.

they have frequent attacks, and are more
sensitive to the changes of temperature. In
this condition, the nose may be dry, or slight
discharge, thin and acrid, Afterwards becom-
ing thick and adhesive As the disease be
comes chronic, the discharges are increasedt in
Quantity and elanged IN III ~; they ara now
thick ana heavy and are ltfwHed hF cbughed

breath; the voice is thick and nasal, the eyes
are weak; the sense of the smell Is lessened or

Another common and important SYMPTOM OF
CatarTh ia that the perSOn Is Obliged TO clear
his throat in the morning OF a thick or siimy
mucus, which has fallen down from the head
during the night. When this takes place the

first Confederate colony in Mexico. Amongst
those who propose to settle Immediately are
Gen. Price and Gen. Shelby, from Mo-,
Judge Perkins of La, and myself The re-
sources of this country are such as TO insure
fortune to the energy and industry that has
usually characterized our people The
wonder is that they have been permitted TO
remain undeveloped 50 long but this is the
most INDECENT lazy and worthless population
on earth.
VIII many of the people of the Southern
States feel inclined TO seek new homes? or
will they follow the example of Lee, john
ston and others? Mexico presents the finest
field that have ever seen for the enterprise
of our people, and now that slavery is abOl-
ished in the South, hired labor can be much
more easily procured here and made much
more profitable than in any part of the
United States. 90 not propose however to
urge or even advise any one TO come, l only
propose to give them facts and leave them to

Excitement In PhTIadeII hia--A Negro
Riot there.
From Tho Philadelphia Age.l


About seven o'clock yesterday morning a
disturbance occurred in the neighborhood Of
Seventh and Lombard streets, between whites
and blacks, which, for time, looked as il il
would end in serious riot. The com
mencement of the affair was between a
black woman and a white boy. The woman
was drunk, and was on the sidewalk
yelling murder. The boy came along in
company with several others, and said
he would give her something 10 yell about,
and with that struck her blow. A lot
Of drunken negroes who were standing
on the corner Of 81. Mary street, rushed 20
the assistance Of their sister, and in les than
five minutes the crowd had increased 70
about three hundred blacks and less than
one hundred whites. The majority Of the
negroes were clothed in United States uni
forms. and belonged 70 a regiment that ar
rived here on Saturday. A general riot en-
sued. Bricks and stones were freely used,
and number Of pistols fred. The police
in large squads arrived on the ground, and
arrested some twenty Of the rioters.
This had the effect Of quelling the fght.
One negro was arrested with loaded mus
ket in his hand Numerous cut beads and
Injuries were received, but none proved Of a
serious character. Officer Ferguson, Of tho
Fifth Ward, was rather badly hurt BY being
struck with a brick. During the whole Of
yesterday, and up 70 q late hour last eve
ming considerable excitement prevailed A
strong police force remained in attendance
up 10 midnight, and prevented any further
outbreak. AZ soon a the riot was stopped,
the police went 10 work and closed some
twelve or fifteen gFoggcries in the neighbor-
hood.
