Cold Monday.

| The cold term Of weather the first days
Of this week has been one Of most unusu-
al severity. and last Monday will stand in
tie calendar as one Of the cold days that
occur not more than once in generation,
AT least everybody will hope so, and would
be willing even to do without that. In
this place however, it did not touch 50 low
mark as in the winter Of 1857, when
one Thermometer on Henry Street burst
at 40 below zero. The lowest point in
this village on Monday, that we have
heard of, was on Green Street at S. f.
Merrilrs where il touched at g. degrees
below zero. On the Terrace at Col. Flem-
ing's i was l6 below at Charles Hapgoods
~, at the depot Is, and in the Square by
Amadon's thermometer il mar ked l6 be-
low and stood stiff at IA nearly all day.
There were several cases of freezing in
the village during the day, but none of a
serious nature. In other places il was
more severe and some in New York City
had their limbs so frozen as to require am
putation. AT Burlington it marked %
degrees below zero. AT Montpelier 26,
and Williamstown reports "a, Littleton,
N. Ii. also reports 81. In New York
City it was the coolest day for twenty-five
years, being ID below. Philadelphia re-
ports it as the coolest day ever known
there, being Is degrees below. From the
West We have accounts of extreme cold
and at Richmond, Va, it marked degrees
below zero Monday evening. 1t was then
most severe cold day throughout the
Country and will long be kgown as the
cold Monday.

c1rrence; {" Some three weeks since, a
son OF MIR. Freeman Stration ofthis town,
twelve or fourteen years of age, was at
tackled with inflammation OF the eyes, one
eye seeming to be more affected than the
other and paining him considerably. On
The third or fourth day it grew very much
worse, beginning to obtrude from the
socket, and finally burst, extorting from
the boy a scream ef intensest agony
Medical men hereabonts say that they
have never known or heard of similar
case, where simple inflammation OF the eye

FIRE--The house and barn of L. T.
Lowell, I'd, in this town, on the place re-
Gently owned BY Hon. II. L. Stoughton,
was burnt on Friday evening last. The
fire took from sparks from chimney fall
ing on the roof, and was not discovered BY
the family till they saw fire falling from
the caves. Most Of the contents Of both
house and barn were saved, but several
barrels OF pork, in which Mir. Lowell deals
quite extensively, were destroyed. For
tunaiely there was not a great amount Of
property in the barn. The light was very
plainly seen by many in this village and
caused much speculation. The loss is
some $4,000, and covered, as we learn by
an insurance Of $26cO on the buildings,
and 5000 on other properly, some of which
we believe was on live stock of which
there was no loss.

PREPARING FOR MILITARY REVO-
LUTON.

Mr.. Raymond, of the New York Times, re-
veals the doings of . secret caucus of repub-
iican members of congress, at which 1t was
suggested that the militia" in other words
the Union Leagues should be armed against
the president. He stated that it was antici.
pated that the democrats would elect enough
congressman in connection with the members
of the south to have majority, and that the
president would recognize them as the real
congress of the United States, and that the
radical revolutionists would find themsel
in a minority. Sooner than submit to this,
the radical members propose to take up arms
and embroIl the country IN a war, not by Sec
tons, but by neighborhoods, where neighbor
would arm against neighbor, and indisCrm-
ate massacre must follow. This is in brief
the intention of the radicals. For further in
formation we must refer to the letter itself,
which we publish to-day.

National Union Convention.

A national union convention of at least two
delegates from each congressional district of al
the states, two from each territory, two from
the District of Columbia, and four delegates at
large from each state will be held at the city of
Philadelphia on the second Tuesday, (l4tD Of
August nert.
Such delegates will be chosen BY the electors
OF the several states who sustain the administra-
ton IN maintaining unbroken the Union of the
states under the constitution which our fathers
established, and who agree in the following
propositions, viz:
The Union of the states is in every case indis-
soluble and is perpetual and the constitution
Of the United States and the laws passed by con-
gress In pursuance thereof are supreme and con-
slant and universal in their obligations.
The rights, the dignity and the equality of the
tates In the Union, including the right Of repre-
sentaton In congress, are solemnly guaranteed
by that constitution, to save which from over
throw 80 much blood and treasure were expend-
ed in the late civil war.
There is no right anywhere to dissolve the
Union or to separate states from the Union eth
er by voluntary withdrawal, by force of arms, or
by congressional action, neither by the secession
OF states nor by the exclusion of their loyal and
qualified representatives; nor by the national
government in any other form.
Slavery Is abolished, and neither can nor
ought to be reestablished in any state or terri
tory within our iurisdictiop s.-.4. s..
Each state has the undoubted right to pre-
scribe the qnaihcations of it's own electors, and
no extefnai power rightfuliy can or ought to
dictate, control or influence the free and yolnn.
tary action of the states in the exercise of th..
right.
The maintenance inviolate of the riphts of Tho
states and especially of the hight of each state
to order and control its own domestic concerns
according to its own Judgment exclusively, suh
iect only to the constitution of the United States
is essential to that balance of power on which
the perfection and endurance of the political fab
ric depend, and the overthrow of that system by
the usurpation and Capitalization of power in
ongress would be revolution, dangerous 70
republican government and obstructive of liber-
y. ,.s5..ss zt
Each house of congress il made, by the con-
stitution the sole Judge of the elections, returns
and qualifications of its members, but the ex-
clusion of loyal senators and representatives
properly chosen and qualified under the consti-
tuition aud laws, is unjust and revolutionary.
Every patriot should frown upon all those acts
and proceedings everywhere which can serve no
