E0W to F0retell the Weather.

Tn nanual Of the barometer, compiled by
admiral Flzroy, and just published by the
board Of trade, the following useful obSerTa-
tiOns occur:
Whcth,r clear or cloudy, rosy sky at sun
set denotes fine weathcr-a red sky in the
morning bad weather, or much wind, perhaps
rama high dawn, wind; aad a low dawn,
fair weather. Svft locking delicate clouds,
, foretell fine weather, with moderate or light
breezes--hard edged, oily looking clouds,
ariad. \ dark, gloomy blue sky, windy, but
a bright blue sky, moderate fine weather
Generally, the softer clouds look, the less
wind, but perhaps the more rain may be OK
pected and the harder, more greasy" rolled,
tutted, or ragged, the stronger the wind will
prove. Also, bright yellow sky at sunset
! presagcs wind pale yellow, ecet; and thus
by the prevalence Of red, yellow, or grey tints
the coming weather may be told very nearly
Indeed, If aided by Instruments, almost cx
actly. Small inky looking clouds foretell rair;
light scud clouds driving across masses, show
rain and wind; but if alone, may Indicate
wind only.
High upper clouds, crossing the sun, moon,
or stars, in direction different from the low
er clouds, of the wind then felt below, forctell
change of wind. When the sea birds fly
out early and far to scaward, moderate and
fair weather may be expected. When they
hang about the land, or over it, sometimes
flying inland, expect strong wind with stormy
weather
There are other signs of coming change in
the weather Known less generally than may
be desirable, and are, therefore, worthy Of
notice-such as when birds of long flight
rocks, swallows, cranes, and others, hang
about home, ard fly up and down, or
low, rain and wind may be expected Also,
when animals seek sheltered places, instead Of
spreading over their usual range; when smoke
from chimncys does not round readily, or
start upwards during calm, an unfaVorable
change is probable.
Dew IS an indication Of fine weather, so is
fog Neither Of these formations occur under
al overcast sky, or when there is much wind.
One sees fog occasionally rolled away, as it
were by wind, but seldom or never formed
while 1t is blowing. AN EXTRACT

A gentleman who recently travelled through

A gentleman who recently travelled through
the South, says:
The freedmen have contracted freely with their
old masters, as d general thing. The higher
rates of wages in Alabama and Mississippi are in
ducing some Of them to discard their contracts
in Georgia and migrate Westward.
Several planters have met have pnt in as
much cotton as formerly, but there will be much
land idle. I am Sanguine in expressing the opin-
ion that the entire cotton crop Of the South can
be worked without the hand hoe, by introducing
improved implements
Every planter that can get labor is putting in
all the cotton possible, in hopes to sell at high
rates, and many OF them are nrglccring corn,
prcferring to depend upon the Northwest for
their supplies.
This is injndicious. Suppose the crops of the
Northwest, should fall short, a state Of things
bordering o. famine might be the rcsul!.

CHOLERA PREvENTlYE-Gas is said to be a
sovereign cholera di>nirctant, and escaping gas
in a house will protect the inmates against chot-
era. An old physician, WHO has had some ex-
pcricuce in the treatment OF cholera cases recon-
nends it. Whereas, DR.. Hamlin, whose cApe-
rience of cholera has extended through three
ySitations Of the disease in GonStantinople, cx-
presses the opinion that If one is prudent and
temperate in diet and drink, and can avoid over
exertion, great fatigue, great anxiety, fright and
fear, he thinks he is as safe from cholera as from
being swept away by co LET.

At the old cemetery i'll Macon Ga, says the
.TournaI ard Messenger, Of Thursday, we learn
that the ladies univc. sally decorated the graves
Of the deceased Federal prisoners, as they did
those Of the Coutetcratcs. Under the cEastenlng
influence Of sorrow, all reScntmentS vanished
from pure hearts of the Macon far, and they
adorned, indiScrininate.y, the graves of the dead
of both sections as the victims Of common ca
lamity. Rev. Mr.. Warren, of the Baptist Church,
delivered most eloquent and touching address
upon the occasion, and with feeling alluded TO
this affecting iacident.

ingtDn correspondent Of the New York Times,
usually we'll informed, says in reference 10 the
above subject:
There have been so many cases Of conflict Of
authority between tie civil and military tribu-
mails in the So2lh recently reported to the PreSi-
dent and growing out OF a nisapprehenSon of
the peace proclamation; that it was deemed advi-
sable to issue order dccaratory Of the effect
OF tie proclamation as to the powers and tunc-
tons ot Military Commissions, and more parIcu-
la?ly setting forth the intention Of the AdminiS-
t:ajio" to recognize the res ora:ion Of the prop
cr civil authorities In our DISPATCHES duriug
the past two DAYS we have in scm-"ticial form,
anticipated the order nov issued, and which it Is
believed will put an end 10 further conflicts be-
tween the military and civil authorities, unless
there sh Il yet be DOUBTS as to tie effect Of the
proclamation in the matter Of restoring the writ
OF haJsGS c, rpuS. The President, however, does
not new feel called upon to give any sPecirl in
structlon$ 10 military officers upon this subject,
as it is believed the proclamation is clear enous5Q
in lis terms to be understood readily. AS we
have stated bcf5re, the President considers the
writ Of htjea& coypHs fully restored throughout
the Unit, States, except in Texas, and wherever
the witt is legally issued, it is the duty Of tie
officer upon whom the writ is served to make
prompt and respectful answer thereto, was tho

there, bought real estate, and would engage in
the practice Of medicine He is represented as
man Of intelligence and some cultivation, deco
rous in his conduct, and respectful to white peo
pie. He made an address on Saturday night to
his colored friends, which some Of them lacked
the good sense to appreciate. He told them it
was useless to expect equality with the white
race. He had travelled much over the North
and Europe, apdQowtere was the negro on equal
itv. In the city Of New York he Was not permit
ted to ride in the same street cars with white
people. He told them furthermore that it was
= mistake to believe the Northern people were
anv better friends to the negro race than tie
Southern people. The Southern man, he said,
would prove to ne their best friend. This black
educated man is native Of Kentucky, and IN
his boyhood was in the family Of one OF the BrecN-
enridges who assisted and encouraged him to
ACQUIRE an Standardization Messenger.
