The Weather
   Yesterday morning the thermometer in this city stood at 23. In the afternoon and towards night it considerably moderated.
   We had no mails yesterday morning. The trains on the Georgia and State {Western & Atlantic RR} Roads, which were due at 2 and 3 a.m. respectively, did not arrive till in the afternoon. We learn that the trains on the State road were greatly retarded all the day, making but little headway. The down train, which passed Kingston Wednesday night, had made only ten miles when the accommodation train from that point came down. A train arrived here just at dark, which left Dalton at daylight.
