The WEATHER.--Such rare weather
Was there ever such another 18th of Janu-
airy as yesterday? We should like to know.
It was inspiring. What an appropriate
day would it have been for the restoration
Of Virginia to the Unionl It would have
gilded the occasion with golden rays. But
we fear our $ fellow-citizens" in Con-
gress are not yet warmed sufficiently with
generous emotions to desire the restoration
of Virginia to be distinguished by any such
;iubilation as that.
Nevertheless We had the day and its
bright beams in our condition of exclusion
fromsthst Republican equality amongst the
States, without which rspublicanism is a
mockery, and may rejoice in the benefcence
and impartiality Of the Divine cause,

LEXINGTON, VA, January IL, 1870. .
We are gratifed to be able to state that
Cadet Cook continues to improve, that his
surgeons pronounce ell of his symptoms In.
yorable, and that there is every prospect OF
his recovery. We have regretted TO see
that the Lynchburg papers announced mn
death, and that the statement was COPIED
into one Of. the. Richmond papers, to the
deep distress 1--WE learn) of some OF MS
near relatives.
The Lynchburg Republican some time
ago rated your correspondent somewhat
sharply for intimating that the packet
boat is not the best channel by which to get
Lexington news. This is another of the
many Illustrations of the truth Of our
statement. We Of course do not mean to
insinuate that the polite officers Of the
packet, or the reliable" passengers,
would intentionally deceive, but simply
that they are very likely to retail street
rumor instead of accurately sifted TACT.
General Smith, General S. Mcdowell
Moore, Major Laferty, of the Gazette, and
perhaps others of our citizens, expect to
leave the last of the week to join the
Lynchburg committee in their excursion to
Norfolk in the interests of the Lynchburg
and Coyington railroad. Our people are
becoming the more interested in this road
as the recent action Of the Baltimore City
Council seems to render the construction of
the "Valley railroad" still more pro-
blematical.
We learn that General Lee will not be
able to be present at the funeral of Mr..
Peabody. -"
Major Jed. Hotchkiss, of staunton, is
spending several months at Washington
College, pushing forward his maps which
are to accompany the physiological survey
of Virginia which the college proposes to
make. We presume that Staunton would
cite Major Hotchkiss as at least one proof
that the prediction of old "Hanover Pres
bytery" has not been fulfilled. Il Fl.
The Gazette is to be issued hereafter on
Friday instead Of Wednesday. By the
way, we venture to say that there does not
20 to the Dispatch Office better country
paper than the Virginia Gazette under its
present able management. LEXINGTON.

January IL, 1870. !
A good many negroes, embracing fami-
lies, have left this county recently for the
South, We we're overstocked, however,
and can spare them in more ways than
one. -~.
Our village is improving. Trade and
general business enterprise seem on the in
crease.
A very marked feature connected with
our history has been the temperance move
ment. The Council of Friends organized
few months ago numbers considerably
over hundred members. Many of our
leading citizens and most prominent young
men are connected with the Order. Rev.
W. A. Tyree, of the Baptist church, is pre-
sident, and deserves much credit for his
zeal in building up the institution. The
ladies, as associate members, hare proved
very reliable auxiliaries.
