SIGNAL OFFICE, WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON CRY, April /, 1856 THE
first week of the month was devoid of any
great atmospheric change. The middle
of the month was noted by succession
of weak depresslons which generally
formed in Texas, forming trough ex-
tending from that state TO the upper lake
region, causing general precipitation in
all districts.
On the Goth storm OF considerable
energy passed over the lake regions,
causing severe gales Ia those districts,
and on the New England coast. This
storm was followed by q cold wave
which gradually overspreGd all districts,
accompanied by fall in temperature OF
from 20 TO go.
On the Goth there formed in Texas an
area of lcw pressure Simultaneous with
an equai high pressure in the extreme
Northwcss. This storm remained nearly
stationary IN the Gulf states from the
Goth TO the both, while the high area
separated, the major portion moving
easterly TO the Gulf OF Saint Lawrence,
while the minor portion remained over
the Missouri valley.
On the Goth the area OF low pressure
began 20 move ia an almost nortierly
direction, and at midnight OF the 8lst
was central north Of the lower lake re-
gion.
General and continuous precipitation
occurred ia nearly nj, districts from the
2Gth % the 3ist, which caused severe
fresheis in the rivers Of the Southern
status, and rise in the Oaio and MIss SIS
sippi rivers to near the danger line In a
great many places.

THE GRAND JURY RECoNYENEs AND
LISTENS TO 4 SOUND TALK--HABEAs
CORPUS wRITs.
After an interyai of two weeks the
grand jury again came together yester-
day. The charge made Them By his hon
or, District Judge Beckham, in view OF
the present trying situation of affairs was
uncommonly impressive, and was couched
in pointed and emphatic language.
The duties and responsibilities of Of
iicers were explained. The duty of citi-
zens to assist in the enforcement of the
law, when called upon by the Sheriff, was
also pointed out The grand jury had
devolying upon it the grayest RESPONSE
bilities. IL was not for them to
argue on the wisdom of the law,
but to see that the law as
1t stood was put In operation against all
who violated It. At the same time they
must not act too hastily. Inthe present
troubles 1t was not their province 10 rec
ognize separate factions or parties, as
such, but inquire into the actions of in
dividuals without discrimination. Officers
of the law were themselves amenable to
the law, and II they overstepped their au-
thority were subject to the same investi-
CATION as private citizens. But the law
must be enforced at all hazards.
Even the men engaged in Illegal acts
would scOrn the officer or officers who
failed to do their duty when they saw the
law being violated. This is but bare
outline OF what was considered most
admirable and dispassionate talk, which
lasted over an hour, and which was
listened to with the profouudest atten-
ton.
writ Of habeas corpus was granted in
the case of Tom Mace, the striker who
was wounded in the late Eight with officers
near this city, and the time of hearing the
same set for 10 o'clock this morning.
Habeas corpus writs were also granted in
the cases OF Rowland, Lee and Mccarthy,
arrested IN connection with the recent
troubles, and their hearing set for 10
O'Clock Wednesday morning.
