CHANGE IN TEMPERArURE.-Fo the past three
days the weather has grown cooler and what has
been rain here has been snow from an altitude of
1000 feet above Auburn. This has checked the
rise of streams having their sources above this
snow line and perhaps prevented great damage in
the Sacramento valley, but should the storm
continue and the temperature moderate so as to
bring this snow down with warm rain, then We
say to our valley friends, ''stand from under, "
get up high or fee to the hills.

Colonel MOSby'S Letter.

The following is Col. Mosby letter to gen
tIenlan of New York declining IN invitation to
speak in that city
WARRENToN, Va, August Is, 1872.
Dear .Sr-Your favor of the 18th Inst. has
been received, inviting me to speak IN the city
of New York on the questions OF the Presldcn-
tial canvass. ! cannot accept your Invitation
now. as all the time | can spare from protes-
sional duties will be more efficiently employed
in my own State in exposing the fraud and de.
fusion of this last Hm-Greeleyism. | can
sec in the election Of Horace Greeley no
relief from any of the evils from which the
Southern people are suffering but rath
err an aggravaton Of them all. 1t is true
we have been pluudered by carpet-baggerS, as
you have by Tammany thieves; but as the ln-
tegence of the South was made the tootStool
of ignorance, by the policy of which Greeley
was the foremost advocate and defender, and
which he proposes to perpetuate, how can his
elevation to Chief Magistracy of the Union re-
lieve US? Carpet baggers have attained power
through local majorities Does be-, as Presl-
dent, propose to overrule them? IF so what
becomes of his boasted local sclfgovern-
mept?" | have just read his speech at Port
land, in which, while justifying the ku klux
law as necessary to repress violence and disor-
der, he says that there never would have arisen
any OCCASION for such law if amnesty had been
granted to the South Now, this is one of those
plausible sophistries with whichGreeley has sue
ceeded in quilting both North and South. Am
nesty means nothing more than relief from the
disabilities imposed By the Fourteenth Amend
ment (which Greeley advocated) which only
excluded certain classes from holding office, but
nottrom roting Do the Hamptons, the Pick
ems and the Prestons, who governed South
Carolina in the days Of her glory, stand any
better chance now Of being elected to Office
than before the passage Of the Amnesty bill
The condition of South Carolina, can never be
changed until Greeley policy is reversed-his
denunc:ation of carpet-baggers is all brutnna
hu1mcn-his promises are cheat and snare
''That mock the woe that turks beneath
Like roses O. sepulchre."
Which of the lost rights Of the South does
he propose to restore? 4 Gre eeyite will answer
:'trirppiugly on the tongue" local self govern
ment and universal suffrage which only means
negro supremacy. How will he get rid of
carpet baggers? Is he going to do as he says the
Ku klux do-spirit them away? or with all his
professed horror of military power is he going
to play the part of Caesar or Cromwell
them II et a,miS from places to which they have
been elected? AS all that he offers US is
Greeley pill, from the effects Of which we
have too long been suffering, | Deg to be per
mitted to decline it; for while it may be sweet
on the tongue it will certainly be bitter in the
belly" am sir very respectfully, your ODE
dent servant JOHN S. MosBY.

and we understand that the marble quarry COM
papy are looking to the old line of the Loudoun
Branch Road for an outlet Tor their marble to

Purcellville. We are inclined to believe that
this line will be ultimately selected; and this
may be probably, not only to find the nearest
railroad connection but also with view to ex-
tend this branch to Weaverton,, or Berlin, to
connect the quarry with the Philadelphia and
Baltimore system of railroads, to give a ready
access 20 these markets, for the valuable marble
which it will furnish in unlimited abundance.

THE AGE OF MEN-Prof Farraday adopts
Flourin's physiological theory that the age OF
man is one hundred yards. The duration OF life
he believes to be measured by the time OF
growth. When once the bones and eplphyses
are united, the body grows no more, and 1t Is at
twenty years this union is cffectedin man. The
natural termination of life lis FIVE removes from
the several points. Man being twenty years in
growing lives FIVE times twenty years, that Is
to say, one hundred years; the camel is eight
years in growing lives five times eight years,
that is to say forty years; the horse is five years
in growing and lives twenty FIVE years, and so
with other animals. The man who does not die
of sickness lives anywhere from eighty to one
hundred years Providence has given man a
century to live, but he does not attain 1t because
he inherits disease, eats unwholesome food,
gives license to his passions, and permits vexa-
ton TO disturb his healthy equipoise: he does
not die, he kills himself The Professor divides
life into two equal halves, growth and decline,
and these halves into infaucy, youth, virility,
and age Infancy extends to the twentieth
year, youth to the fftieth, because it is durng
this time that the tissues become firm; vlrillty
from fifty to seventy-hve, during which the
organism remains complete, and at seventy five
old age commences.
