In less than a minute passengers and baggage were aboard a dray-on which we rode the balance of the endless way-excepting so much of the dis tance, as when we were not on the dray-nor in fuet on any thing. O,asionally we came down on the dray to receive again the bumped eleva vation which crowned our exit from the Grescent City. We were "on ti.ne"-but out of breath nearlv.

A lady was poin1ted out to mie on the train as having acted a Lieutena:mt inl the Confederate Army. She di essed w hile in the army in all the at tire and badg-s pectliar to a male of like rank.

Tn a omanua! of the 7mtromder, compiled by admiral tizroy, and just pubh!ihed by the board of trade, the following useful observa-2 tions occur : Wheth.r clear or cloudy, a rosy sky at sun set denotes fine weather--a red sky in the miorning~ bad weather, or much wind, perhaps rain-a high dawn,.wind; atml a low (dawn, farir weather. Sorft looking delicate clouds foeellne weather, with moderate or light breezes-hard edged, oily looking clus 'ind. A dark, gloomy b!ne sky, windy, but a brigvht blue sky, moderate tine weather. Generally, the softer clouds look, the less wind, but perhaps the more rain maty be ex petcted; and the harder, more "greasy" rolled, tufted, or ragged, the stronger the wind will prove. Also, a bright yellow sky at sunset presages wind ; a pale yellow, wet; and thus by the. prevalence of red, yellow, or grey tints, the conimig weather may be told very nearly -itndeed, tf aided by instruments, almost ex actly Sim-di intky loo'king clouds foretell rair; lMght scud clouds driving across masses, show rai and wind ; but if alone, may indicate wind only. High uppe clouds, crossing the sun, moon, or stars, in a direction dlifierenrt from the low er clouds, of the wind then felt below, foretell a change of wind. When the sea birds fly out early and far to seaward, moderate and fair weather may be expected. When they hang abuouit the 'land, or 'over it, somietimres fly ing iland,expect a strong wind with stormy w eather. There are othcr signs of comin'g change in th'e weather kn,own less generally than tmay' be desirablhe, andi are, therefore, worthy of notice-sneh as when birds of long flight rooks, su allows, cramnes, and cothers, hang about homie, ard fly up and down, or low, rain and w' inud may be ex pected. Also, when arnr:ials seek sheltered places, instead of spreading over their usual ranuge; whzen smoke from chimneys does not rc-und readily, or start upwards dluring a calm, an unfavorable charnge is probablIe. Dew is an inrdication of fine weather, so is fog. Neither '>f these f'ormations occur under an overca.st sky, or when there is mumch wind. 'One sees ft o occsionally rolled away, as5 it were by w md, but seldom or never forrmed while i.t is blowing. AN EXTRACT. For the~ HeraldI. Cokesbury Distriet-3rd Round, 1866.

RATIONs 7OR THE NEEy.-We commend the liumanity which dictates the rendering of assist ance to tie necessitous, the giving of rations to the hungry poor. That there are many in abso late need, there can be no question of doubt, and to relieve their wants would be a charitable, con.enlable, Christian duty. But there are many idle, lazy, depraved characters, who might work if disposed, but who will not whie there is a chance to live ;otherwise ; many, too, wilA be led by this offer to desert their employers, to claim the rations and be relieved from work. This must entail future evil on both employer and eml0yed. The crop must suffer and a scaicity of provisions be tbi consequence. We allude to the announcement made from the pul pit last Sunday, by authority of the Lieutenant cornmanding, that the destitute of this commu nitr, both white and black, may draw rations, on makin- their condition knowf te him.Whopi that he will be able to discriminate between the really needy and the determinied idler, and deal out tis charity only to the worthy but unfortu nate, that no harm may work out of an intendea good. ODors.-There are sweet scented places as well as sweet scented youths, a very common ex pression .nd applicable in both to this locality. With the latter, however, it is not our purpo just now to waste Lime;,ufice it, that one might -- travel several long days journey ere running up with a place con taining a greater variety ef,peci mens who are allowed greater looseness, ani who seem to be less controlled. - Some other time we may recur to them. As to the former hoeirer we would say "von feetle vord." The'p~r'tciar phice referred to is and has beed, a nuisance for lo this long time. Time and again has -attention been directed to it, until the adage of "the more it is stirred the imore will it stink" bas been more than verified. It is now "a lecte too -ooch Sti:.k, by gar." It is absolately intolerable; and how such a pest, such a villainous accumulation is.allowed to remain, to the annoyance-1d- dia. gust of the particular neighborhood, ind citizens generally who pass by, passeth comprehension. Tie ~featie al:uded to is a dishonorale attach ment of the brick hoteL Can it be abated or removed?. Can anything be done? REMARKABLY Sra.ANG-A "reliable geUtle main" informed us, says the Columbia Caro saa, that a feimiale chijd was recently born in thseity, whose head is eittirely devoid of hair, except as that portion on the back of the head which, *ith the ladies, is covered by a waterfall. This portion is covered with a thick growth of jet black hair, seven inches long and precisely in ~the shalie of the most approred waterfalL Who can -explain this phenomonon ? We cannot, and don't intend to try, but wi1lnet alion Coldmbia to get ahead of Newberr! with its wondeiful and s.trange phenomenon. - A fear days ago we were informed that a child was born in this town , w-ho was half white and half black. The-line was drawn with the nicest pecision through thme centre of the face. This is tremiak able freak of nature and is accounted for on' the ground thnt a social mixture of the colora is im possible.

Thanks, gentlemen. for the serenade. WEATHTER AND GRo?S-The mooft daving changed brings us the hope of a better state' of weather than we have lately had. Rain, nothing hut r-ai, has been thre order of the day.and nighs too, until the ground is literally soaked. After' so much of cloud, haze and rain, it is pleasantte see and feel the sun's- bright, warm rays ingain. Farmersi are busy DOW with that little enemy grass-which has had full sway for the last ten days. We wish them well out of it. We hear of no very ser-ious damage as yet to whear, and corn generally is looking very well.
