WAsAINGroE, February 9.-Rapre-
sentative BsGzlover (Penn.) has OBJ
tanned leave Of the house to have q
speech he did not deliver printed In
The Congressional Record, In which
he ~savsgely attacks Gen. Hszen and
the signal service bureau, General
Hsz ,n sends the press for publication
q statement in reply to the charges
made against him and the attacks
made upon the signal service by Rep
resentativs Beethoven and a number
OF anonymous wrlters.
Gen. Hszsn states that the charges
have their Origin In the recent dts
missed employees, and are untruthful
and slsnderous, and the attacks are
made for the purpose of bringing
about the removal # the weather ser.
vice'to the interior department. The
general then gives bril- fiji some Of the
reasons why such removals shou d
not be made, viz: Beciuse expert.
ence has show that he of the service
must have the power TO punish men
for non-obeyiDg of duties, and such
power cannot be had uNder the civil
law. Because the work 10 done more
promp ,ly by the present service than
it could be done by a civil bureau
Because the government must be able
to hold the ob,ervera BY oDlistm mt
In order to secure the benefit Of
their service in return for the
instruction given them in meteorology,
These, he says, are some OF the rea.
CONS why the weather bureaus should
not BIO removed. Gen. Hazsn then
calls attention to the covert attempts
made to destroy the weather service.
The army appropriation bill as re
ported to the senate contains a provi
sion that oftic srs who have serVed In
Washington more than three years
shall return to their regiment. This,
he says, would destroy the weather
service, because every officer except
one, who can make a weather predio-
ton, has been In the service more
than three years. In conclusion,
Hlzon invites a congressional investi-
CATION, to which every possible oppor-
itunity and facility will be afforded.

Mr.. EDIToB:-Thinkine that few
items from Southampton would perhaps
be tolerated, make the attempt to fur
nish few, which, ifyou deem unworthy
. corner in your valuable sheet, will serve
to swell the waste basket or feed your
goat, if your possessions run that way.
The longldry spell has at last been
broken, and at this time we ere having
rain, rain, abundance of rain So say
the drops upon the single.
The crops are poorer in this section than
for many years past, the long drouth rem
dering the corn crop almost failure.
Cotton small but we'll frulted. peanuts
poor but high prices ruling.
The weather for the last few nights has
been extremely cool for this season,
awakening fellow feeling for the blank
cts. The falling leaves, the fading flowers
the signing winds. ell remind us that
The melancholy days have come,
The saddest Of the year.
Your correspondent had the pleasure
/ one Sunday not long since, in company
with friend, Of running down to the
Virginia Beach and spending the dsy
Where the sun-lit Ocean tosses.'
1t is altogether . . nice place for . few
days recreation, and promises in the
near future to rival Long Branch OK Coney
Island, as . summer resort, being stu
ated Immediately on the Atlantic coast,
seventeen miles east of Norfolk and about
seven miles south Of the Capss. The
preparations for the accommodation Of
guests are being pushed forward with .
vim, and was told that by next summer
everything will be complete. 1 large
hotel is going up as are also other build
| ings. They have at present ample facili-
ties for bathing, dancing, promonading,
getting good dinner &c, and large crowds
go down each day from Norfolk and Ports
mouth to get the fresh breeze or to take
glorious plunge in the Surf.
Mr.. R. j. Fiers, who had the misfor-
tune of loosing his store house and stock
of goods, by fire, at Joynersville, near
here, some few weeks since, is rebuild
ing and expects to be in his new house
soon. A new Baptist Church is in pro-
cess of erection at Newsom's Depot, and
bids fair when completed to add much to
the appearance Of that enterprising little
burg.
I think, Mr.. Editor, if you were to
come to Southampton you might get your
subscription list heightened. Remember
when you do come that the latch-string
to our shanty hangs low enough for SIX
footer to reach.
Wish the COMMONWEALTH much sue
cess and its editor many long and happy
days.

Correspondence.

Ringwood, N. O., Sept. Is. 1883.
Mr.. Editor ) II have been intending !. for
some time to send your interesting paper
q communication from this point but .
dearth of news and the non existence Of
anything that is calculated to entertain or
edify the general reader, have stood g.
barriers in the way.
This section has suffered from the Of
fects of q continued dry spell, with the
exception of one Rain some two weeks
since; and although ct this writing the
clouds indicate copious showers, yet the
rain does not fall to any appreciate extent
The crops are regarded in this nelghbor-
hood as hardly average. The young corn
has especially been cut short by the
drought. The farming element however,
is energetic and hopeful, and = sangume
disposition, manifests itself to take things
as they are, and to make the best Of them.
Nature has done much for this little
village and it could be made . beautiful
inland town, ifneeded improvem ents were
added. Ifa railroad from Weldon via
this point to Castalia in Nash, were built
it would, IS was suggested by former
correspondent, open up promising, and
to considerable extent fertile country,
and would ere long send in no doubt,
handsome returns, . valuable divided on
the capital investsd-but the people can
not in themselves build it, and We would
be glad to see those who have the means
take hold of it.
The fields are already white With cot
ton. We have heard Of . small quantity
being sold ct cts.
We learn that man, below this place
manned Tom Stalmgs, eolored, lost hi
life . short time since in sndeavorinG t
clean out well, the earth giving vsy un
der him, and the surrounding earth snvsl
oping his body 20 tightly that he eoul'
not be extricated until too late to say
