Feb. 22.--At Louisville, Ky., about one o'clock P. M., the clouds, which covered the heavens but did not appear to be thick or heavy, assumed a singular yellow hue, and a seemingly preternatural darkness over-spread the land.
Candles and gas-lights were brought into requisition.
The strange phenomenon lasted fifteen or twenty minutes, and passed suddenly off.
[47]
It is probable that this portentous gloom began and ended with the reading of Jeff. Davis's Inaugural Address.
The Richmond sacrilege seems to have been enough to darken for a little while even the glorious birth-day of Washington.
Van Nostrand. New York, New York. 1862.
