RAIN FOLLOWS THE Foo.
MORE MISERABLE WEATHER THAN EVEhS
STEAMERS GET AWAY AFTER TWO
DAYS DELAY.

The temper Of the elements remained unchaneeo
yesterday although the manifestation OF ill-humor
took the form OF rain instead OF Wednesdays fog
and mist. II rained heavily nearly all day, ana
high wind added to the out-of-door discomfort. the
season of wretched weather recalls the prolonged
soaking this city received last summer for several
weeks succeeding st. Swthn's Day.
One circumstance that ought to mitigate the re-
greet OF friends Of the volunteers who recently
went to the front is the fact that the weather az
Chckamauga and Falls Church can hardly fall to
be better than that prevailing at present at Camp
Black and Camp Townsend The weather Is making
things extremely disagreeabe for the newly ar
rived volunteer troops at Fort Hancock Wednes-
day night they slept in the railroad cars that
brought them. and yesterday morning they were
engaged In pitching their tents Frequent rain
squalls drenched some Of the men to the skin. ana
the fresh easery breeze did not decrease the gen.
era discomfort
Despite the heavy rain the fog and thick weather
prevailing for several days about the harbor cleared

steamers held by 1t to depart The Sunara
