(Evening State journal Mo. 0 'A\i 'lain street. Atlclimond, Va Offlcl;»l l'aper for the Government METROROI.OOICAI. OB9KRVA TIOJV*" report to the Secretary of War for the year 1870, gives tbe outline of the system of meteorological observations and reports adopted by the Signal Bureau, "for the benefit of commerce," as provided for in tho joint resolution of Congress, passed these words : "Be it resolved by tho Senato and House of I Hepresentatives of the United States of Amer- | ica in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of War be and he is hereby authorized and re quired to provide for taking meteorological observations at the military stations in the in terior of tho continent, and at other points in the States and Territories of the United States, and for Riving notice on the northern lakes and on the seacoast by magnetic telegraph and marine signals of the approach and force of storms." Nearly all the large cities iv the United | Territories have been designated as stations | for tho taking of observations. Certain cilic3 are.designated as distributing centres, to which all the reperts are sent, and from there telegraphed over the country. At each station there is to be a bulletin board giving tho stato of the weather in all sections of the Union at a given hour. The bulletins are also to bo published in the daily newspapers, aud in the course of time will, no doubt, form an indispensable paragraph in the commercial columns. The merchant, for instance, who has wool, or pork, or salt, or any other article of commerce whbh .may bo affected by wind or rain, heat or cold, lying on tho wharves at Chicago, or crossing the prairies iv open cars, will naturally feel some in terest ir. tho state of the weather at those particular points. If, perchance, he has a vessel on Lake Erie, he will be exceedingly anxious to know the direction and force of tho wind at Ciovcland or Buffalo. If he has a cotton plantation in the South, frosts, rains aud floods becomo to him as much a , matter of tender solicitude as the ruling j prices of the staple product. j And even to those who aro not merchants, and havo uo pecuniary investments in which profit and loss depend on the wind"* and the temperature, it will afford some J satisfaction to know the particular kind ol j itppiness. If it be cold, or wet, or gl o »f, there will le a sort of melancholy atisfaclion in sympathizing with him or mr in their discomforts. But tho greatest utility of the system i and that for which it was principally de vised, is to give notice of the approach of torms. The ship captain who reads on he bulletin board a dispatch dated at Cheyenne an hour before to the effect that a great hurricane is moving eastward at he rate of fifty ruile3 an hour, will not put o sea if ho is a prudent man, but will re nain in port till the storm has passed.— There is scarcely a department of industry in which this information will not be use ful. Thouuhappy man who took off tbe roof from bis house on a fine morning only to see the floors and ceilings deluged with water before evening, would have escaped bis misfortunes if he had been advised by a telegram from Wheeling that a rain storm was moving east. Sow ing, and reaping, and making bay, and mauy other agricultural operations, will be made to depeud on tho character of the day that is to follow, as indicated by tho meteorological reports. Tho farmer Will soon learn to consult the newspapers for advice, rather than the "signs" and the weather prophets. That credulity, or it might be called superstition, which ha 3in all ages attached a certain value to indica tions which the experience of every indi vidual has shown to be utterly unreliable, will yield to the unerring demonstrations of science. \ Those who live near the sea-coast will, of course, only be apprised of such storms as approach from tbe West, but it will not be many years before tho system will be made to embrace the whole globo, and there will be telegraphic bulletins, if not from the fabled Cave of Eolus, the homo of tho winds, certainly from points in all the great cycles around which they sweep. General Myer says : "The time may come when European, Asiatic and American groups will interchange reports by means of the deep sea cables. The idea of a world-wide system of telegraphic weather is not as chimerical to-day as was thirty years ago the workings of tbe electric tele- All this magnificent scheme is to be operated by soldiers—not officers, but en listed meu who draw the pay aud rations of sergeants, corporals and privates. The privilege of enlisting for thia branch of the service was, by order of the Secretary of War, made the subjsct of competition. Each applicant is required to pass a j thorough examination, after which, if he structiou iv meteorology, and taught the use of instruments, after which ho is as menof limited means have enlisted in the service for the purpose of acquiring a scientific education. Each station has been equipped with a barometer, a thermome ter, a hygrometer (to measure the moisture of ' the atmosphere,) an anemometer (to measure the forco of the wind,) an anemo- Bcope (to tell the direction of tho wind,) and a pluriauieter (to measure the fall of rain.) The reports embrace all the me teorological conditions indicated by these instruments. As our readers have been already advised, Norfolk has been made ( one of the stations for observation. iiy Look • LAtjgnion, Auctioneer*. __\. 0F ftun ACRES OF LAND IN CULI'KPKR COUNTY.
