Whore I have recorded wind is for unusually heavy winds. Ordinary March winds havonot been recordod, only extremo "blows" for that month. Frosts mentioned aro for earliest and latest frosts, and snows aro for days on which snow foil, not for those on which snow lay on tho ground. 11 the rains, slight 01* heavy, have boon recorded. By roferonco to tho fig ures it will bo seen that oxtrcmoly eold wintors have been followod by very warm summers, and mild wint ors by mild summers.

JOHN BROWN'S LAST LETTER Written to a Cousin a Short Timo Ilo foro His Execution* [St. Louie (rlobe-Dcinoorat.] The following unpublished letter from tho pen of tho great liberator, John Brown, will be of unusual in terest. Tho lettor was written to an old friend and relative, tho Rev. Lu ther Humphreys, of Windbani, O., a short timo boforo his execution and while Hrown was under sentonco of doath. The lotter follows : Charleetown., Jefferson County, Va., November 18, 1859.?Tho Rev. Luther ITumphroys, Windham, ().: My Dear Friend?Your kind of August 29 is now boforo inc. So far as my knowledgo goes as to our mutual kindred, I supposo I am the first since the landing of Peter Hrown from the Mayflower that has oither boon sentenced to imprison ment or to the gallows. Hut, my dear friend, let not that fact grieve you. You cannot have forgotten how and whero our grandfather (Capt. John Brown) fell in 1770, and that he, too, might have perished on tho scaffold had circumstances been but very little different. Tho fact that tho man dies, under tho hand of tho executioner or otherwise, has but little to do with bis truo character. "John Rogers, a groat and good man, a?. 1 suppose, perished at the stake, but his doing so docs not prove that any other man who died in the Baine way was good or other wise. Whether I have any reason to be of good cheer or net in view of my end, I can assuro you that I feel so, and that I am totally blinded if I do not really experience that strengthening and consolation you so faithfully implore in my behalf. The God of our fathers reward your fidel ity. I neither feel mortified, de graded nor in the loast ashamed of my improsonmcnt, my ohain, nor my noar prospect of death by hanging. I fool assured that not one hair shall fall from head with out the will of my heavenly Father. I also fool that I havo long boon endeavoring to hold exactly such a fast as God had ohoson. See tho passage in Isaiah, which you havo epiotcd. No part of my lifo has been moro happily spout than I have spent here, and I humbly trust that no part has boon spent to hotter purpose I would not say this hesitatingly, but thanks be unto God, who givith us tho victory, through infinite graco.

Among tho battalions there is much rivalry, tho men advancing with chests bare, striving which shall plant the colors furthest for ward. The soldiers are of three colors? black, brown and white. In campaign the uniform of the generals, chiefs and oflicers is tho same as that of tho troops, distin guished only by tho stripes worn at the shoulders. Camp uniform is dark, with a flannel shirt similar to that of our sailors, and a tunic of impermeable cloth. For campaigning tho costumo is of impermeable cloth. In the foltliat the majority of them carry to the left ft toothbrush and in the front a small shield, on which are embroidered crossed carbines and the number of the battalion. Generally the soldier carries with him his provisions and a ilask of vinegar, the latter as preservative against tho aguo. how tiiky ark armkd. The armamont of tho soldier is good, l?o oarries arillo similar to to the Mauser, only charged with sovon cartridges in placo of five, of the ^mc oalibor, and in a caso of white metal a ewoard bayonet liko that of tho Mauser, but shorter. Tho battalions aro vory full, and the number of companies to oach superior to ours. Thoy said, in speaking to our (Spanish) oflicers, that thoy did not mind having heavy losses, as there was an over-abundance of population in their country. Their regular alimontation con siste 1 of ooffeo in tho morning; two other meals and icod drinks?ico which thoy brought in large oars to the camps?and a two pound loaf of broad, In their camp? they hftd their bands which played until 9 in tho morning and until 0 at. night. The sentinels in tho camps con ducted themselves with tho rnoBt ox tremo, care and vigilance, not al lowing themselves any distractions nor smoaking ; but when, on tho other hand, they wore on tho march, they smoaked and chattorod and sat whilo thoy placed their guns up against a wall. Tho Hold tore wore not allowed to ontor tho same places as tho ollicors. For examplo, in tho boulovard of Santiago, where a battalion had \ - been posted, editinole wero plncod at tho doors of tho cafes, and tho soldiors could only obtain rofrceh monte by permission. ?''

WniSTLB a*8 t II h y FIGHT. Tho regular army always fight in tho vanguard. In marching they go whistling or singing. From tho moment thoy reach San tiago they never missed a moment in practicing with arms and drilling. Their infantry is very well in structed, and ono of their battalions distinguished itsolf by tho oxtromo rapidity with which it dug and formed trenches. Thoir activity is so groat that thoy havo not occupied a placo moro than half an hour boforo they havo it for tified. Of cavalry thoro is little. Tho mounts arc poor. It must bo romembcrod that tho abovo aro not export opinions, but a number of impressions taken from many mouths and from the soldiors as they arrived. Changed Their Mbuls.

Built over 260 yonrs ago, it is still in good con dition and ropair. Tho walls aro picturesque and ropresent a stupond ous work and cost in thomsolvos. * Insido tho walls tho city is laid off iu regular squares, b?x parallel etroote running in the direction of the longth of tho island und ? at right angles. Tho houses aro closely and compaotly built of brick, ueually of two BtoricB, etucoood on tho out side and paiutod a variety of colors. Tho upper floors aro occupied by tho inoro respectable people, whilo tho ground floors, almost without excep tion, are given up to negroes and tho poorer classes, who crowd one. upon another in tho most appalling man ner. Tho population within tho walls is estimated at 20,000, and most of it lives on tho ground floors. ' In one small room with a flimsy par tition a whole family will resido. ground, floors of tho wholo town reek with lilth, and' condition*! aro most unsanitary. In a tropioal country, where disoaso readily pro vails, tho conscquoncos of suoh hord ing may bo oasily inferred. Thoro is no running water in tho town. Tho entiro population dopende on, ,. rain water caught on tho flat roofs of tho buildings and conduotod to tho ' sistom, which occupios tho greator part of tho courtyard that, is an eesontial part of Spanish houses the world over, but that hero, on ac count of tho crowded conditions, is , small. Tliero is no sowerago, oxoopt the surfaco water and sinks, whilo vaults aro in evory houso and ocoupy whatever remaining spaco thore may be in tho patios not takon up by tho cisterns. The risk of contaminating the water is groat, and in dry Boa sons tho supply is entirely exhausted. Epidomics are frequont, and tho town is alive with vermin, mosquitoes, and dogs. Tho streets are widor than in tho older part of Havana, and will admit two carriages abreast. The sido walkn. are narrow, and in places will accommodate only ono porson. Tho pavoments aro of composition manu factured in England from slag, ploas- ? ant and ovon and durablo when no heavy strain is brought to boar upon thorn, but easily brokon and unfit for heavy traffic. The streets are swept onco a day by hand, and, strange to say, aro kept very clean. From ite topographical situation tho town should be healthy, but it is not. Tho soil udder tho city is clay mixed with limo, so hard as to bo almost liko rock. It is consequently impervious to wator, and furnishes a good natu ral drainage. Tho trado wind blows strong and fresh, and through tho harbor runs a stream of son wator at a speed of not loss than thrco miles an hour. With those conditions no contagious disensos, if proporly takon caro of, could oxist ; without them thorn the placo would bo a voritnblo plague spot.' Besides tho town within tho walls thoro aro small portions just outside, called the Marina and Puortn do Tierra, containing 2,000 or 3,000 inhabitants oaoh. Thoro aro alRO two suburbs, ono, San Turco, ap proached by tho only road lending out of tho ajty, and tho other, Catano, across u. ") bay, reached by forry. The Marina and tho two suburbs aro situated on sandy point/ or pits, and tho lettor aro surroundoxl by mangrove swamps. Tho ontiro population of tho city and suburbs, according to tho census of 1807, was 27,000. It is now estimated at 30,000. Ono-half of tho population consists of nogroos and mixed rnoes. ?Boston Transcript.
