the Potomac, while Lee and his bronzed
veterans saunter away through the
Shenandoah, feeding on the fat of the

divisions, laughing at the effort OF
Plessanton to catch or others to head
him. Mcclellan says his cavalry is
too wearied and broken down to ac-
complish anything. and the president
mildly asks what il has been doing to
so fatigue it. Another correspondence
of complaints begins, and finally ends

As the center approaches. the wind
swings round TO the southeast. then to
the south; and southeast and south
winds bring rain 20 tha Mississippi

As the center passes. the wind turns
to the southwest and vest, and com

the great arid tablelands: and the
rain ceases.
But on the Pacific coast. since the
supply OF moisture lies TO the west

with moisture. and az some seasons
bring rain. Hence the rain falls after
the center of the storm has passed. in
stead OF coming in advance Of a.
