" ALL SIGNs FAIL IN WET WEATHER."-We
heard it frequently predicted, as autumn was
closing, that this was to be an open winter. "
Don't have much that appearance now. BAL
ly mountain is a glorious sight to behold, par
tcularly at sunrise. Every rocky point, shrub,
and We might almost say, tree, is obscured by
the great depth of snow. Best of all, after each
successive snowfall we have had freezing nights,
and many people will be disappointed if snow
does not hold on the mountains this year a month
later than usual In the neghborhood of town
the snow is only about foot deep, but on Ore
gon Guch mountain it is two and one-half feet,
and on Hay Fork, Trinity and Rush Creek noun
tains from three to five feet. Up the East
Fork of Canyon Greek it is said to be twelve
feet on the level. The miners jubilant at the

You and the public have right to ask the
above question in respect to a gentleman, IN
whose behalf so large share OF prominence
in your valued journal has oflate bean claimed,
and which has been so freely and hbcrally re-
corded.
Allow me the privilege of response, by
simply stating in condensed and unfortunate
ly hurried FORM, facts and data obtained upon
solicitation direct from the lips Of the Protes-
sor-facts and data SO minute and pointed in
regard to places, names and occurrences as to
remove all unnecessary inquiry by the very
circumstance that they challenge investiga-
ton.
The modesty OF Professor Meier, Virgil-llke,
prevents the undersigned, one Of his new and
aemiriug friends (probably from corelative
tendency of feeling if not Of mind,) from
breaking forth in the keynote of praise and
admiration; may glorious and honorable fu-
ture of the Professor among US give epportu-
mites to ADLER hands than mine to perform
that delicate but agreeable ofico.

Charleston, D december Oath, 1868.

The personal piques and .prejudicss of
Queen Victoria arc said to be the chief cause
OF the acrimony displayed in English politics.
A New York Herald correspondent states that
crown. the Queen contessed to Lord Melbourne
that she "na.ed the Tories" by which she
meant that she hated the Tory statesmen with
whom she was brought iuto official contact.
Years have passed, times and parties and men
shave changed, and now the Queen hates the
Liberals in precisely tho same way. That is
to say, the principal Liberal leaders are per-
sonaily 90 dissgreeable to her. She cannot en-
dure Lord John Russell; she absolutely dis
likes, Mir. Gladstone. On the other hand, she
is deeply attached TO Lord Derby, and has no
warmer and closer friendship than that which
she entertains for Sir. Disrasli The social
circle Of royalty is, therefore, broken in two.
By this course The Queen is said to be materially
inpairing her legitimate influence, and giving
Iise 70 many rumors prejudcialto her credit.
