Glorious weather. --Yesterday was a day to be noted; for if the almanacs had not informed us that it was the middle of January, we could have affirmed it was the middle of April. Everything looked gay and animated. Things always look so when the ladies come out even though the amplitude of their garments compels everybody else to yield the sidewalks.
Preparing to Arm. --The County Court of Charlotte county, Va., at the January session, resolved to ask of the Legislature the privilege of levying a tax of $7,000 upon the people of that county for the purpose of purchasing arms for its volunteers. An effort is now being made in Halifax county to raise $10,000 by private subscription for a similar purpose. The move, we understand, has met with much encouragement.
