re- An important railroad case has been de-
cided before the Supreme Court at Washington
"A person claimed certain property Of road
which had been offered for sale at auction and
then withdrawn, on the ground thathe was the
highest bidder. The court holds that bids at
auction are not offers, and that to make an offer
there must be a mutual understanding between
the parties. The case is, therefore, decided
against the appellant.
"A clergyman, writing from Texas to the
Postofice Department concerning contract for
carrying the mails says he contributed in no
way to the Confederate cause, except to pray for
its success, and is in doubt whether, on that ac-
count, he can conscientiously take the test-oath
''but,'' he adds, Gas my prayers were not an
swered, think they should not be considered as
aid and comfort given to the enemy

GEN. WALLAcE.-Gen. Lew Wallace was in
indianapolis, Ind, the other day; en- route for
New York. He is reported to have said to a
friend that some months ago he rendered his re-
signation as a major general in the United States
army, to accept similar position in the army OF
the republic of Mexico, but Gen. Grant, for rea-
sons best known to himself has not seen proper
to accept it.
The Governor of Colorado, in his message
to the Legislature OF that State speaks in favor
of a railroad to the city of Mexico, two thousand
miles away, which he says would be easy oil
construction, and through healthy nd mostly
fertile country. He seems to regard it as not al
all formidable undertaking.

Cold WEATHER.-We have had the regular
" cold term = of the season. Sunday was very
cold, but Monday was colder. The sharp wind
whisted over the bleak earth, reminding one of
the experiences of DR.. Kane, and we hear Of va
rious ears and noses being frosted. At 2 clock
on Monday morning, the thermometer in Balti-
more indicated 20 above zero at o. clock it
decended to 20 below zero. The average during
the day was ten. At St. Timothy's Hall at Ca
louisville it was colder at sunrise 70, and at 9
o'clock 40 below zero. Our neighbors who have
ice houses are now busily engaged in securing an
abundant supply of thick clear ice, and if this
weather continues few days, there will be no
scarcity Of this almost necessary luxury. Now
is the carnival Of skaters, and the ponds around
the city affords much enjoyment in that line
Swami Lake is dayly and nightly graced with
the youth and beauty Of Baltimore on skates.

rs At this season of the year many Of the
citizens of the county, have considerable idle
time on their hands. There are the long even
ings when farmers cannot work, and the weather
is too cold for them to do much during the day.
Many mechanics have these long evenings to
themselves. Young men, growing boys, all have
time at their command which they should occupy
more pro6tably then lounging at country stores,
or worse places Every head of family should
have store of good reading on hand, books,
periodicals, newspapers Now is season when
newspapers should be interesting. Congress is in
session, and debates of vital importance to the
perpetuity of the nation are going on. Our
Legislature is also in session at Annapolis, and
there is much to interest andinstruct the reader
This also is the season when editors and printers
are compelled by business, the weather and
roads to stay at home and they are therefore
unfortunately prevented from obtaining as much
local ne,cs as they would like to give a good
healthy local tone to their papers, so that the
reader can take them up and read them with a
keen appetite. We would therefore request any
of our readers who know of incidents or events
which would be worthy of publication, to get
pen and paper the first long evening, put down
the facts and send them to the paper they like
best. This will benefit themselves, the paper,
and the public.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Tribune processes TO have received the
following startling information from New
Orleans:
"Scme important disclosures will soon be
officially made public in reference to secret
rebel sOrieues, which permeate the entire
South. These organizau lions have branch circles
IN New York city and the West. That in New
York is said TO number $1,000, principally COM
posed of men who served in the rebel army
Each circle has different name Some are
known as The True Sons of the South,''
others as The Knights of Arabia" and all are
well armed with the most improve weapons,
ready At moments notice should a fav orable
opportunity arise, to renew the struggle for the
lost cause. One of the chief members OF this
organization, now in prison, is said to have
made important disclosures. General Sheri-
important purposes, which will soon be made
apparent
mime cases OF whipping of negroes have
been recently officially reported in the parish
of BIenyille. One old woman, 20 years Of age,
received 400 lashes."
This statement, if true, would certainly indi-
cafe very alarming state of affairs in the
South; but considering the alembic through
which the story has been distilled, we may
safely dismiss any fears of being Immediately
