SOUTHERN.

Lewis A. Dodge, a brother of “Gail Hamilton,” who held an SI,BOO clerkship in the Boston Custom House, has been summarily removed. Extremely hot weather prevails in the South. A movement is on foot in Louisiana to remove the capital from Baton Rouge to New Orleans. Specials from every section of Texas report a general drouth all over that State, causing much suffering and loss among cattle and other live stock and seriously damaging crops. The residents of three hamlets in Tennessee requested the Postoffice Department to suggest names for their new postoffices. They were accordingly christened Mikado, Yum-Yum, and Nanki-Poo.
