CARLISLE, PA., Thursday Horning, Nos ember 12. 18HS. THE NEW AD.UINISTIIA.TION After the fourth of March, next, the Radicals will havo entire control of tho Government. They will have tho Pre sident, Vice-President and both branch es of Congress, and will doubtless “ re construct” the Supreme Court to suit their views. If the in-coming adminis tration shall puisne the path of rum, malice and mischief already marked out for it by tho Congressional Jacobius if it is to bo merely the sequel of the past three years of misgovernmcnt and usurpation, it will meet tho scorn and ■ denunciation of all friends oi constitu tional liberty, and will go down loaded with popular execration. These bin leaders expect a vigorous radical policy at tho hands of General Grant. They selected him with the expectation that he would make himself the tool of their vengeance against tho South.— They will not hesitate to ask him to lend* his "name to every new legislative atrocity. They expect him basely to violate the parole lie gave tho foes who surrendered to his victorious sword, and to trample down and humiliate those whom he encountered in honorable combat. Will tho ’new President lend j himself to these meiij is a question which time alone will enable us lo solve. If be remembers, when he comes to take the oath of olllce, that he is the President of the whole American peo ple, and makes up his mind to leave the Presidential chair witli the love, re spect and veneration of ail his country men, we will be nnnmg-t the first to do him justice, and will hail that as a bles sing which now seems to us a great na tional calamity, if General Grant proves himself a true man, whose solo aim is to do what is best for ids whole country, be will find his staunchest friends amongst those who havo been his most bitter political enemies. The history of the great Democratic party vindicates the assertion that it never yet fiiilech to do justice to the public man who was faithful to the trusts con fided to his keeping. As it has been in the past, so will it bo in the future. But while we will always be prompt to endorse the right, we will be equally . swift to condemn the wrong, whosoever the wrong door may be. (.KANT ANI> THE •• I-OYAI. THIEVES. The Harrisburg Slate Gnuril, a Radi (*ul organ, says that ■when Grant is sworn in as President lie will disappoint some men'. “He will nut” (says that paper,) “ permit the demagogues who have al ready almost impoverished the govern ment, to steal its resources until it be comes bankrupt.” AVe shall see. Should Grant, as Pres ident of the United States, attempt to choke off the thieves “who have already almost impoverished the government,” he will meet the fate of Andrew John son, and bo read nut of the Radical par ty. To keep in good standing with his rotton, thieving, pie-bald party, he must regard stealing with lavor, and call it “ loyalty.” The very llllur hL ‘ places his foot upon the thieves, that hour he ceases to lie a negro-loving Radical. There is scarcely an accom plished thief ill the country that is not a Radical, ami when Grant falls out with the thieves—the men “ who have already almost impoverished the gov ernment”—he falls out with his party. AVe will not say (for wo cannot,) that all Radicals arc dishonest, but we can say with truth, that nearly every man who has robbed the government is a Radical in politics. Stealing from the government has become a science. Rut for the spoils, the Radicals would he in a hopeless minority in nearly every State, and the sweet-scented nigger would no longer bo encouraged in idle ness, but would be left to take care of himself. Greoly, a year or more ago, spoke the naked truth when ho said that two-third,- of cur National debt was .stolen money. But Greely dulends end supports the very men who placed this fraudulent debt upon ns. We fear Grant, wlio is noturiunsly a weak man, will also yield implicit obedience to the political gamblers who trill flock about him in quest of plunder. Wo may be mistaken, however, and tiro State Guard may bo right in its prediction that Grant will frown down the corrupt pot iticians who have been sucking the life blood of the nation for the last eighl years. Should this be Grant’s deter mination and he carries it out, he will disappoint the leaders of the Radical party as much as ho will please con servative men, who have the welfare o: the nation at heart. Time will toll.— Let us wait patiently. •wiiat niiai.i. nr no? Governor Seymour said in ids Phila delphia speech, at the close oi the late campaign: “My friends, wc mean to triumph in this battle, and if we do not triumph wo mean to light on us long as our principles are right and truth pre vails. We mean to wring out a victo ry, no matter what obstacles we have to overcome, or what time it shall take for the party to triumph in. Wc mean to win a victory for you as well ns for ourselves, for we believe that by so do ing wo will strengthen the institutions of our land. We believe that by so do ing we will secure the rights and hap- piness of the American people. Wo be lieve that by so doing we shall preserve, the Union of our country, which I pray to God may stand forever and over.” Yes, the Democracy mean to fight on “ as long as our principles are rigid and truth prevails.” To do tins our first and noblest duty is to stand by our or ganization, and to stick to our princi ples at all hazards. We have in keep ing the vital principles of American free Government, and we dare not abandon them. Confident in the just ice of ous cause, knowing that we have the popular majority on our side, we shall not fail, now or hereafter, to vin dicate the' right and resist the mons trous wrongs against which we were ar rayed in the late contest. Our battle against wrong, outrage, tyranny, cor ruption and mismanagement, will last just so long as they exist, and will end only with their destruction. We shall stand fast by our principles, come wind may, and rely upon the final endorse ment of the sober judgment of the peo ple, when the evil passions of the hour shall have subsided, and men will bo willing to listen to the voice of reason and sound statesmanship. VIOLENCE OF THE SOUTHERN NB GUOES. The day of the election in several of the Southern States was a day of tur moil and blood. Let any man read over the telegrams from the South as published in the Radical journals, and he will see that in every instance where disturbances occurred, the negroes were the aggressors. One account from a Southern city says: “ Some three thousand colored men arrived In town hist niqht and lids morlihn;. Most of tin >'* were under tile liilluenco ol liquor, and en rj nniiV was armed to I In. tcelh.- When the rolls onenedthey took possession ol the wlndows.nnil m> while niau could approach them who refused to vote iui open Grunt ticket. But few whites vo ted.'’ .. Another account from another locali ty •• L-mq before the voting commenced'the ne groes iniiwod themselves about the polls \\ £ musket* and shot-guns in their hands. l An ft■ J* whites u ho voted had t<> be eseorled to the polls iw n meof f. S. soldiers. due aged uhUeman with n s.'vnunir tteUet in UN hsuul, appioaehed in oil uiul two or them fell, mortally woumlod.-- 1 exasperated the soldiers.and they returned the lire killing throe negroes ami wounding,n\ c. T' t* negroes then broke and scampered oil, fol hivred bv the troops, who aftiun tired upon them, wounding several. Quiet was then restored. Another account from another quar ter : •• ahull! to vole the Seymour ticket, when a power- I ,i (MlouHl man throttled him ami was choking the litv out of him. Thcie were only about iwon* 1 \ -.uMit-vs niCM-nt, and some lour hundred (ul o.t .1 iiit'ii, all well armed. Ihe sergeant m cimi niAitil 1.1 the soldiers ordered the negro who was c.iokiiD' the wlnte man to desist, when another iu-to Miolthe SDigcant llirough the head. He D ll dead. The Uttops seeing HUs, sprang for •a.ml wuhoui any one to command, and put to utf '■word a half dozen negroes m as many min mo. Tho troop* aeteil UUc unchained tigers, and slashed down every negro they met. In a short lime not a black face was to be seen, and alTwas quiet.” From another quarter: “ After the colored voters from, tho rrcedmen & Bureau arrived In town, it was evident that they wen* in lor a row. They knocked down every while man and woman they met, and killed one man outright. The police force was lucnascd. hut all to no purpose. Tho negroes continued to lire their guns in the streets, and do threaten the town. A negro was arrested by the police, hut was rescued by his companions. In trying to re turn their prisoner,throe policemen wore killed, and three others badly injured. Ihe negroes hold the town during the night and the next day, defying the authorities and everybody else. Again: “ negro who had committed a terrible out rage upon a white woman, was arrested soon al ter he had voted, and was on his wav to a magis trate's olllce. A rush was made for him by sev eral of his colored associatco, who rescued him from the olheers. One of the otllcors was mor tally slabbed, and the other seriously lnjnred. 7 The rescued negro has not been heard of since. Again. A despatch dated Savannal Georgia, (Nov. o, says; The negroes ilNbmnleil last night. but nre \ln assembling at Taltiaieno's plantation.— ev are said to bo armed with United Slates iskets evidently newly furnished.

The yonmr woman killed by •Krooson lb' 1 nlKbtof llu* election was buried -day. Another of the policemen died this ove ns' who was shot In the riot." Wc need not fill our paper with adi tional accounts of negro outrages. We could give columns of artielessimilar to those we have quoted. Of all the mur ders and deviltries committed, the ne- groes were the aggressors. And these vagabond blacks are to-day the ruling power in most of the Southern States.— Many of them live on the bounty of the Government, receiving their rations daily from the Freedmen's Bureau. — The white men oflhe South—the men of braii!- 5 —are dird'ranebisod. They can neither hold ollice or vole, bid must submit to Hie brutal demands of igno rant, thieving, blood-thirsty negroes.— That these black demons receive their instructions from'white scailawags and carpet-baggers, is well known. To hill and burn in the South is a part of the Radical programme, and the negroes have been so instructed. And yet the very scoundrels who are engaged with the negroes in this bloody business, turn up tiio dirty whites of their eyes, and cry out —“ let us have pence!” The day of reckoning will yet come; the wicked wretches engaged in murdering and burning may escape for a time, but the patience of a down-troddon.people will not bold out forever, and when they turn upon their persecutors, their pun ishment will be as swift as it will lie de served. t i.i.i rri) i-.i t siow ? Notwithstanding the jubilation of the adical parly over their triumph in the recent election, they will scarcely dare to claim that it was an expression of the real will of the American people. In West Virginia 25,0011 voters were re fused participation in the choice oi a President. In Missouri HU,OOO voters were excluded. In Tennessee 100,000 white citizens were excluded. In Vir ginia the entire male population, num bering 150,000, were excluded. In Mis sissippi, witli 00,000 white voters, and in Texas with 90,000 white voters, it was made a criminal offense to east a ballot for President. In Alabama 50,000 white citiz.ens were disfranchised, in Arkansas -10,0011, in Georgia 00,000, in Louisiana 01,000, in North Carolina 30,- 000, in South Carolina 20,000. in Plo rida the entire people of the Slate were disfranchised, and the choice of electors usurped by a “ earpel-bag” Legislature. In the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Arkansas,-150,000 ignorant and bru tal negroes took part in the election and helped to make General Grant Presi dent. This is the thing which we are told is a Presidential election in a free country—tins is the triumph over which there lias been such unbounded rejoic ing in the Radical party. It was after such an election as this in France that Napoleon announced to the world, ‘‘The Epipirc is peace.” THE roBTT-PIKST COXUItESS. Though General Grant is to be President of’ tlie I’nUed Stales- after March -I, ibllli, lie will nut have such an overwhelming majority in the next House of Ropreseiftatives as lias cursed the nation for the last four years. T Fortieth Congress, including the Sont eru carpet-baggers, was thus politically divided: Radicals Democrats, Radical majority, Two-lhlrdH, According to the latest returns at hand, the N. Y. World estimates that tlio political complexion of the next House of Representatives will bo as fol lows: Radicals. - - - ' ht Democrats, •«. Radical majority ... - " I'd Two-tlili ds, In this calculation it is assumed that the Radicals will elect three CongrcV men in New Hampshire next March, and two of the four to he chosen in Con necticut in April, though in the latter State they may not secure more than one, ns was the case at the Congression al election of 1867. Thus, it will be seen that the Radicals will not have a two thirds vote in the Forty-first as they have in the present Congress. Not only will the Hemoerats have an effective working minority, but among them will ho men who will make their mark . on tlm linur. »miilry wiil la; the gainer by the increase of Democratic Representatives mul Democratic brains in the next Con gress. The experience of the two last Congresses lias shown how disasterous a tiling it is for ono party to have an overwhelming majority in tho national legislature; and though the Democrats in tho Forty-first Congress will be too few to check all Radical legislation, they will still be strong enough in num bers and brains to prevent a repetition of much of the ill-advised and hasty ac tion which has well nigh made the mere name of Congress a by-word and a reproach in the opinion of all honest men. THE BESIT.T IN NEW TOKK Hon. John T. Hoffman, tho Demo cratic candidate for Governor of Now York, has been elected by a decided majority, and tho electoral vote is cer tain for Horatio Seymour. This is no ordinary triumph. The Radicals used all tho means in their power to defeat these standard-bearers of the Democrat ic party. They placed upon their tick et a popular man for Governor; money flowed like water, and abuse of Mr. Seymour and Mr. Hoffman ran with a still deeper and fuller current. Speak ers wore imported for lire purpose ol villifying the men heading tin; Demo cratic ticket, and Givcly, Raymond and all the little dogs of the p-'en-.d pack yelped in concert the old ■■iy cl 11 disloyalty,” “treason,” “traitor,” and “ enemy of the Union.” lint des pite this bitter and unscrupulous oppo sition, Mr. Seymour is endorsed by > *. w York, and Mr. Heilman will soon as sume the reins of State authority, and look after the welfare and interests of the Empire Commonwealth. This re sult is owing to the pluck and courage of the Democracy of New York. They could not be intimidated by Radical noise or bluster, nor overawed by the pretentious exhibitions of “ merchant princes,” playing the’part of virtuous and disinterested patriots. The old banner of the Democratic party was un furled, and under its folds the Demo crats marched to a sure and glorious victory. Nor must the part that Mr. Seymour played in producing the grat ifying result i«o overlooked or forgot ten. His speeches dismounted the small artillery of the enemy, and si lenced all opposition, save that resting on admitted falsifications of history.— Nor was Air. Heilman idle. He, too, dealt li(Mvy ami constant blows upon the Radical party and its dangerous policy, and thus assisted in « rownin] Tuesday last with a wreath of results so full of satisfaction to the Democracy of the nation. While, therefore, we mourn the untoward march of events mt deprived the nation of the vvisdoi purity and patriotism of Horatio Sey mour in tlih crisis in its history, wo note with peculiar pleasure the fact that New York ha- been true to her Demo cratic history ; true to her chosen lend ers, Seymour and Hoffman, and (rue to those great principles, now obscured, destined to shine forth again, a: jlit the nation on its onward career ol •osperity, glory and renown. VOTE OF THE 1‘Ill.VCII»AI. TOWNS. We below give the vote of the princi pal towns of this State at tiie October election, with an estimate of the growth in population of tlje same as compared with the census of 1800: VUTKItS IN' nCTOHHII, ISO- Koudlnf'. Scranton, risburg. Lancaster, Williamsport Wilkesbai t c. Allentown, York, I’nU.V 111.-. Suit istown, Tlir relative rank of tlic.-c minor citie; id the larger boroughs may bo ascer .hied pretty accurately from these fig ures. After Pittsburg comes Reading, and thou comes Scranton. After Scran ton conics Harrisburg and Lancaster, which used to be the third city in the State, comes next as the sixt, Reading, Scranton and Harrisburg having all overtaken and passed her. At the rate at which Williamsport is growing, it is probable that Lancaster will be the sev enth city in the point of population when the census of 1870 is taken. It is quite moderate to estimate that in eacli of the places in the above list the ratio of voters is about one to every six and a half inhabitants. One to seven is a common calculation, but it is best to keep within bounds. But allowing six and a half inhabitants to every voter, and comparing the population thus esti- mated with those of the census of 1800, we can form some idea of the growth oi each place in eight years as follows: POPULATIONS AND IRUIIEASE.

In 1800, New York had but 3,880,735 inhabitants, and is not now growing near so fast as Pennsylva nia. It is quite probable that the cen sus of 1870 will show Pennsylvania to have a larger population than New ,e York - , NEW JEKSEY. The Democracy 'of this State have covered themselves with glory. As the smoko clears away from tire political battle-field, the true condition of affairs can be distinctly seen. The Democrats have elected Hon. Theodore P. Ran dolph Governor, gained two members of Congress, and secured a good work ing majority in the Legislature. , This latter result is peculiarly gratifying, as it places a Democrat in the Senate of the United Stales in the place of Mr. Frelinghuysen, tho present Radical in cumbent. The people of Now Jersey have not forgotten tho indignity put upon them by the expulsion of Hon. John I’. Stockton from the Senate, and this is their response. It is full of meaning, and shows that sooner or la ter wrong will be righted, and the lash applied to those who cheat the masses of their just privileges. New Jersey may well feel proud of her work on Tuesday. Her people are attached to the Constitution ns our fathers interpre ted it. They cannot he seduced or driv en from the old Democratic doctrines. The past speaks in tones of wrning to them, and all the hopes of the luture in connection with the perpetuity of a ro publican form of government in this country, in their estimation, are cen tered in a return of the Demooratic par ty to power. Believing thus, they cling to the parly of the Constitution ns a drowning man clings to a plank, and vote only for those who hold the same faith in honor, truth and sincerity.— The Democracy of New Jersey are wor thy descendants of the men who fought at Trenton, Princeton and Monmouth. They desire to keep the priceless boon of liberty won on the red fields of the Revolution.

There is not much among the incidents ami results of the recent election to give us pleasure, hut we cannot fuel other than unfeigned gratification that tiro gallant Democracy of New Jersy have secured the entire political power of their carrying their electoral ticket, Governor, three, and possibly four mem bers of Congress, and both branches of the Stato Legislature. The fruit of this last triumph is the ability to choose a United States Senator in the stead of the unctuous Frelinghuysen. Wo sincerely hope that this occasion will bo Improved ,to redress the outrage by which Mr. Stockton was defrauded of his sent, and that this able, upright, and true-hearted gentlemen will bo returned once more to the public councils. In no way could a more emphatic rebuke be administered to the practices by which the present Congress have turned out their oppo nents whenever they needed their places to make a two thirds majority, or gratify their own greedy partisans. The Senate needs such statesmen to redeem in some degree the shocking discredit into which that body has fallen, and wo are very scire that'there is no selection winch the New Jersey Democrats could make that would be so* acceptable‘to their friends throughout the country. It would be an election that would have a moral. SERENADE 10 GOV, HDFEWIAH. JIJS SPEECH AT THE CLA- JtENEON HOTEL. SPEECH OF GOV.

Genera! Grant hto bo Presi dent of the United States In the whole course of the canva-s ju-i dosed I have not spoken one unkind nr disrespectful word of him. While 1 havo denouuced the party which placed him in nomina tion, I warmly a ■vacated the election of our own gallant standard-bearer, Hrtra tloSeymour. (Immense applause.) Gen. Grant has been successful. Ido not con gratulate him for I know the cares which await him. I prefer to encourage lum - He may have the power yet to serve this nation. If he will exert his great official influence and moral strength to reunite all sections and all our people, to restore our nation to a healthy financial condi tion to lighten the burdens of the people, to economize . the expenditures of the government, and to reduce the taxes and restore constitutional law and constitu tional liberty all over the land, he will find the Democracy eveiywhoie ready lo sustain him; and the people and the Governor of the Empire State will be at his side. If he will elevate himself above party and show in the present hour of the nation’s peril the firmness he dis played when he commanded the armies of the Union,* and the moderation and magnanimity he displayed when he ac cepted the surrender of the artriies of the rebellion, be will gain the. gratitude of the whole nation, ami tb© support of all true patriots, if, however, he should \ ield lo the demands of the Radical par ti/.ans, whose policy is based on sectional hate ami prejudices, be will fail as no man over failed before, ami fall as no man it as ever fallen. But, my friends, the compliment you pay me to-night is a per sonal one; ami it is expected that I should say a word of myself. I have in New York and Pennsylvania fought your battles on the national ticket lo the liestof ray ability. In more than thirty speeches I have endeavor.d to set forth Hie truth ; and in all tilings to con duct mysell as became the chief magis trate of vour city and your candidate lor tlie chief magistracy of your State. I have spoken no unkind word of opposing candidates. I have indulged in no per l sonalities ; hut I have been assailed by the opposition press and leaders most bitterly. They have assailed my official integrity, utterly regardless of my personal reputa tion, or of the honor and good name of my city. Newspapers here, which pro fess to be respectable organs of respecta ble people, have made assaults as veno mous as they were vigorous. I have looked to the people who know me to an swer for me; and in my own city a ma jority of more titan seventy thousand have hurled hack these assaults. I thank them for it. I forgive, though I shall never forget, my assailants. X issued a proclamation on the eve of election. I knew it would alienate from me warm friends ami weak supporters ; but it was necessary to the preservation of peace and order. I denounced what I knew to be gross outrages ; and while my adversa ries wore talking about calliiiijiton thou sand soldiers to preserve order, the few earnest words proclaimed by mo secured more order than all the soldiers could have com mantled. I hope I do not speak in i any spirit of egotism } but I wish the peo ple to u ndorslaud, that as I have once be fore in my official life shown that I was not afraid of rioters, I,never have, and never will be afraid of those whoso con duct ia calculated to produce a riot, whether intended lo do so or not. Ihc I conduct of my adversaries, which I do nounced, would have produced a not il i they had not been checked. Some of my , onnouents talk about contesting the elec tion. They will not do it.. A partisan Congress may deprive Senators and Rep reseutatives of their seats, but there is no power in the land which can deffcat the will of the people of the Empire State ex pressed at the polls. They talk about preserving the purity of elections, when they expended hundreds of thousands of dollars to secure a victory, and unblusli inglv published in all the press the gilt by one man of twenty thousand dollars to that end. I have never, I am proud to say, bought my way into auv office.. I shall bo glad lo bo put by tho side ol any of them to testify to the truth, in a court of justice. But, my friends, let all this pass. The election is over. Letthe van quished be content. Let the people eve rywhere, for n while, lay aside all’bitter ness and strife. What we need is peace and harmony and Union, and not contin ued strife and discord. Let us endeavor to build up.and not to destroy. The mass of the people seek only tho good of tho country, and Urey will have rest after this greatstruggle. I thank yon for your services in the cause of the Constitution. I thank the Democracy everywhere. I thank the young men of the Slate of New York for their energy and their or der. I will endeavor with all the talent tny God lias given me to discharge tho duties of my new office honestly and faithfully, and I look for my reward to the puojde, who thus far have always sustained me. The speech was frequently interrupted with loud hursts of applause, and at Us termination the speaker was,greeted with three times three rounds of enthusiastic cheering. „ , _ . Hon. Theodore F.

Th 6 Indian buMMBB.-Tha Indian summer la given to the brief perimfe otteu In the latter part of -Jr vomher, of warm, sunny weathT usually proceeded by some days 0 f r r ' ty atmosphere. The origin of the n a 2 ' ia a controverted question. The In n ans, lu their improvidence, Woro . the habit of procrastinating the work r gatliering their scanty food for wlnte till the cold snap of early, Novetnlw brought them to their thoughts in the warm weeks succeeding they ms I their hunting and gathering, and hence “Indian Summer.” The NewEtighJ tradition is, that the Indians .believed this season to bo caused by the southwest wind which prevails at this period,and which their good divinity, Contoutowlt who resided in that quarter, sent them ns a special blessing. It has been some, times said that the term Indian Waggly, en to this period because, game being plenty at the time, and, the hazy condi tion of the atmosphere favoring their hear approach to animals unsuspected made it a special Indian hunting scaioa' and it is believed that all who have had experience among the Northern Indians concur in the general correctness of these statements. They do but little hunting till September and October; and when November comes they gather up their corn, rice, and meat, and start on their winter hunt into the forests. Ask these Indians at any time of the year when they are going to their hunting grounds, and they will say, “ When the Great Spirit sends us our fail summer,” which they universally believe sent after the cold fall rains for their particular benefit. The cause of the phenomen has been even more a subject of inconclusive specu lation than the origin of the name. The existence of the singular season la not doubted, and the period of its annual re turn is equally well settled. It appears in all the central and northern sections of the United States sometime-in Novem ber, or near that month, and of course succeeds the rainy season of the autum nal equoinox, which usually continue! late into October. In height of the foli age splendors, a soft and mild sunshine, much more genial than had prevailed, suddenly appears; the atmosphere as sumes a balmy and voluptuous mildness, more like that of August than that of November, and the moonlight evenings are abundant in their attractions to lov ers, and all who ilnd pleasure In senti ment and star-gazing, of whatever kind. A peculiar haziness, thin and filmy, per vades the air. There is a peculiar red ness of tire sky, aud the sun at its going down is uncommonly “tinged with u ruby -gleam,” while tire moou, both at its rising and going down, is touched with the same golden flush. Among all the hypotheses which have been contrived in explanation of these phenomena, we lind none mi re plausible than that which ia based upon the well known principle of natural science, that all fluids passing into a more solid form give out latent heat. Now, in the high Northern latitudes, Arctic navigators,in form us that winter begins with Sep tember, and that during that month wa ter is converted into ice with immense activity. It is certain that in the cm version of matter from a fluid into a solid stale on so colossal a scale that the quan tity of heat thus infused hi a semdble form into the atmosphere must cxcri i very powerful influence upon (be. stale of .the air in countries bor dering on these cold regions, ami it is only necessary to concede that the winds from the North prevail at (Ids pe riod to make it conclusive that tins heat must increase the warmth of this zone at this season of the year. The smoky appearance of the nbvu's phere is attributed by some to the tires which so largely prevail at this seisnu m the. year, especially where forests abouml. It is affirmed that the redness of the sky once so marked in the New Engl-uj summer, lias largely disappeared ns the country has become settled, and tilt im est (ires have ceased to extensively pw vail, in support of this view.
