Newspaper Page TextWEDNESDAY Feb. 28. The Wekthcr. In the latitude of Atlanta the weath er is becoming the most caprioious, un certain and unbearable thing we ever had to deni with. Ono day we have the birds carrolling the advent of the balmy Spring, and the next some of the hopeful little fel lows lie frozen to death in their cages.— Monday morning, between 10 and 11 o’clock, we saw great tags of icicles then forming upon the slick connection rods of a locomo tive under full headway. Yesterday was another stinger, and we foar that from this last freeze a large portion of the oat crop is hopelessly lost. Much of the fall sowing is irretrievably injured, and what is worse, many of those who were forward in putting in their spring crop, we fear, will find that the last two days of cold will make a cleat, sweep of every grain that shows a sprout above the ground. Mr. Stephens on Senator Dawson’s Nom ination. We extract from the last Savannah Re publican the following note from Mr. Ste phens, which leaves no further guc-ssiug at hit choice of a candidate for Governor.— We confess we admire the spirit of political justice that impels a friend or a party to cleave to a man who has high claims, in spite of the untoward fortunes of the favor ite. Compromise candidates are often nothing more nor less that) stalking-horses, from behind which dreaded rivals arc killed off, and much more frequently they are the paltry excuses for our dislike of the h juble that the demands of gratitude make upon us. We have now in our mind more than ono instance of this labor-saving policy.— Let Mr. Jenkins' availibiiity be what it may, one thing ie certain, that not one sin gle man in his party ranks lias deserved better of that party, or has received les*.— And we respect the high sense of the obli gation to continue his support, which seems to actuato Mr. Stephens. Mr. Jenkins’ greatest sin against his party is that he has been unlucky*.

While the agent was pressing his client's claim on Congress, the reporter was manufacturing public opinion by his letters to his employers of the press. This arrangement presented a strong temptation to venality and dishonesty, and Congress has done wisely to put a stop to it at once. No mau is fit to be the correspondent of any docent paper, who is guilty of any impro prieties. It is quite probable that serving the connection may interfere with the spi ciness of the correspondence; but. it will serve to ourify the sources from which the people receive many of theiropinionsrespec- ting important public measures.

New York, Feb. 22.—Among the pas sengers arrived by the Baltic, yerterday, was the Rev. -James C. Richmond, who tried to cause our Government so much trouble while in Austria.
