Climate Of Russian America.

An article on meieorology, prepared by
Professor Henry, Of the Smithsonian In.
stiiutc for the United States Patent Office
Report Of 1865, contains the following
paragraph Illustrative Of the climate Of the
Northwestern America:
In tho Northern Pacific ocean, on tho
western side Of our continent the great
circle Of water passes up along the coast
of Japan, recrosses the ocean in the region
Of the Aleutian Islands, minglos with the
ftful current outward, through Behring S
Strait, and thence down along the north
west coast Of North America. In this
long circuit,th northeastern portion Of Il is
much moro cooled than the similar portion
of the whirl Of the Atlantic. Ii therefore
modifes the temperature Of the northwest
ern coast and produces a remarkable uni.
formity along. ll2 whole extent, from Sitka
to the southern extremity Of California.
1t is an interesting fact, which we just have
derived from Captain Rodgers, that an Off
shoot from the great whir in tho Pacific,
analogous to that which impinges on the
coast Of Norway, enters along the eastern
side Of Behring's Strait. while cold cur
rent passes out on the western side, thus
producing almost as marked difference in
the character of the vegetation on the two
shores Of the Strait as between that OF
Ice land aud Labrador.

Richmond, Virginia, is just now excited
by negro riots. Another took place there on
Monday, and the military were called in
to restore order. There are threats Of moro
trouble there. Horace Greeley aud Judge
Underwood both addressed the negroes

them to refrain from riotous demonstra-
tions

Reports from the counties and regislra.

European Conference has been signed; the
terms ratified blythe respective Governments

PLANTATION TO Prussia Of her recent war-like

The Position of Kentucky.

The organ in this city Of the Ohio Ken
tuckians, in an article on the Kentucky
election, printed tho other day, says "Ken-
lucky il, in fact, all one way" During
the war tho State was, in theory, all no
way, but, in fact, il was as now, all one
way and that the rebel way. The truth
is, Kentucky has been for some years all
awry, or considering the situation with
regard to its causes, we might say all a.rye.
On the whole we think tho condition of
Kentucky is aptly described by the follow
ing story of ono Of the farmers in the vi
ciuity Of Culpepper, whose possessions lay
in district where both armies foraged.
The old chap ono day, while surveying
ruefully the streaks in tho soil where the
fence once stood, remarked with much
feeling: III haint took no sides in this yer
rebellion, but III be doggorned it sides

Lost the Return Trip.

Last Sunday two Laurelites encountered
considerable difficulty in attempting to
get Stree ride" on the Valley railroad.
They procured hand car at Laurel. upon
which they came to this place without in
reference. They then took tho car of
the truck, secured it with chain and pad
lock, and started out on n tour Of observa-
ton about our city. During their ram.
blings the car was discovered by some
agent of the railroad company, who caused
il TO be taken back TO Laurel, leaving the
Laurelites to get home as best they could
The joke is given finer poiut when il is
understood that the railroad has a gradual
ascent from Laurel TO Connersville, and ii
required some effort on the part of the ox-
cuisionists to reach this place; but, had
they retained possession of the hand car,
they could have returned home in COM
fort Nth but little bodily exertion or
waste of shoe leather. The moral is
never try to run an excursion train, on
your own hOok, on Sunday.-[Connersville

PUSHING Forward.

The work of organizing Republicans
party at the South is being pushed rapidly
forward, with great success. The work is
most advanced in Louisiana, and least in
Virginia. The negroes about the large
cities are almost altogether Republican,

more in fear Of their old masters.
