SNOW. |
The last number of our paper, announced
a heavy snow as falling, wbioh continued to
tbe depth of at least sis inobes, after which
a lively rain swept away every vestige of it. ,
It seems, by our exchanges, to have been ,
pretty general, while they seek consolation I
fbr tbe destruction of the fruit, in the ad- '
vantages derived by the wheat and rye.?r 1
"Old Boreas" "made a week of it," such,
as ha* not been remembered, at this late 1
^, season, for many a year.
Tbe weather still continues very unsettled
; yesterday was dark, and dismal, ao- 1
eompanied with very heavy rains, putting ,
all idea of ploughing out of mind for sever- (
al days to come.- The season has rarely '
been as baokward as the present.

The Richmond papers state that a propo- ?
si lion is pending, which will resolt in the *
exchanging of several -thousand prisoners s
at a- time, as facilities are ample, and the (
arrangement wonld be mutually advanta- 1
geons: They also state,-that owing to the ^
non-recognition of Botler, and the absenoe [
of official commqhication or? the subject,
oxoept through Major Mulford, the Assis- i
-tant Federal Commissioner, it is impossible *
.to predict, with anything like certainty,-the 8
arrival of a truce boat from one time to another.
The Richmond TFA/V7 is gratified to
stat), however, that the probabilities- are c
favorable to the continuance of the exobange, a
and that our gallant soldiers yet in the hands t
of tbe enemy will eoon be restored to their a
families and friends. ^
' THE NEWS. 8
/ The mails still continue to reach us very f
irregularly?but we can bear the mischances i'
better from the fact that but little news is 0
* stirring, and but few movements oan be
made he onr armies from the continue J bad r
weather, which probably renders the roads 9
and VQter courses impassable. ii
From DaltoD, Georgia, we learo, on the b
,^6th instant, that no reinforcements, with
il&>e eioeption of returning regiments, have ii
arrived in front as yet; though it is gener- r
ally supposed that Shertnan's will be brought h
within striking distance. p
Scouts from the front report everything ti
quiet. As many regimentssare believed to
be travelling on forty days furlough as f,
there are returning. , n
Hampton's 1st and 2d Cavalry regiments u
are ordered to this State,, and will be re- \
placed by others now on the coast. e
There are many reports current of move- i;
meots of our troops, but we have nothing
reliable, wberefrom to draw inferences, ii
were we so inclined. o
Our "items" to-day are replete with in- li
terest. . " ^
V"?' THE DAHLGEEN PAPEES.
The.Northern press are trying mighty 1
haTd to lie out of the papers found on Dahlgren's
person, charging that they were never
written by Yankee authority, or were so ^
interpolated, as to give a different meaning v
to what might have been originally intended. 1
The Petersburg Express learns that, our 1
governments about to hav^them fully and 1
aoourately photographed and that fac similes
of them will be sent over to Europe lor <
the purpose of enlightening the people and^s -t
governments there as to the real character
of the enemy we are fighting. This is right, s
It is due td civilization thus to expose a- <
broad toe infamy of the worse than Huns j
who have poured their brutal hordes upon
our fair land to saok our cities, to devastate
our homes, to^insult, plunder and assassi- <
nate our citizens. Let them be spread '
over the whole world, that they may reap
the universal detestation and scorn* which I
they deserve.
The following remarks of the Richmond <
Enquirer upon the desperate efforts of the <
Times to break the force of the papers, folly
satisfies the public mind, especially as jo '
that part relating to the assassination of the-:
President:
Against the statement of this solitar* j
correspondent of a Yankee journal, 'whooe
tenure of employment, as everybody knows,
is in inverse ratio to his veracity, the Con
federate authorities have the documents of
"lasting infamy" vouched for, as having
been found on the body of Dahlgren, by
gentlemen whose testimony cannot be invalidated
; sworn to by the officers who inejected
them, as having suffered no altera-!
tion or interpolation; corroborated by the
confessions of the captured men of-the command
; supported by the statements of pur
returned prisoners, to whom, at Fortress
Monroe and elsewhere, the intention of the
jaovement.was proclaimed, and the pros

peofc of killing of Mrj Davis and his Cabi
net openly .rejoiced <at.j substantiated b;
citizens on Ijhe line qf the raid, to whoo
the design was boastfully ahnounoed; ant
confirmed by a mass of evidenoe which
when published and given to the world, a
will shortly be done, will. not leave a twij
of qnestion for the originators of the barba
roos scheme to grasp at as they plange info
the abyss of lasting infamy, or a singl
donbtfal strand in the rope that swings ttfen
to the ezeoration of the civilized world.

Saturday ovenieg, a division of the enemy's
oavalry made a dash upon our line near
Springfield, and -was repulsed in splendid
style by our cavalry. They hovered near
until nightfall and then withdrew.
I learn from an. officer from the extreme
front, that a foroe of the enemy, apparently
about two thousand strong, appeared near
Red Clay late yesterday afternoon, and npon
being disoovered, retired in the direction of
Cleveland, without manifesting any disposition
to engage our forces. This party was
evidently sent out for the purpose of making
a reconnoissanco to discover the fooation of
our extreme right, in which they signally
failed, as our troops were found wide awake.
Coupled.with these facts, several general
offioers with whom I. have conversed on the
snbjeot, are of the opinion that the enemy
will soon advahoe upon us, without awaiting
reinforcements; and judging *by this, we
shall soon have sharp work to do. Bat I
must oonfess that I am loth to believe that
Grant will attack Gen. Johnston upon the
ground of his own ohoosibg, even with the
prestige of Missionary Hidge and lookout
Mountain so fresh, and soffelr his newly won
laurels to be torn from blm, as tbey oertainly
would be, and jeopardize his entire
army; bat sincerely hope that the recent
waking up of their troops is indicative of
the spring campaign, as oar army is in splendid
condition and as ready to meet the one

Yankees in Mississippi, and ran away at
Pearl Biver and came home, says that when
they reached that stream the blacks having
beoome very muoh cjissatiafied, were oalled
into line and asked if they wished to go on
with the Yankee Army or return to their
owners, and some two hundred having decided
in favor of the latter, they were taken
out and shot. This negro also says that .he .
saw a number of small children thrown into
Pearl Biver and drowned when crossing
it, because they.were unable to keep up io
marching. It was for this reason that he
made his esoape upon the first opportunity
whioh presented itself.
