The New York Times has a letter giving details of the af fair. The through train was stopped on thi 13th ofFebruary at a place called Raw. lings. Thera the passengers remained till the 2?d,‘grumbling, growling and threatea ting. Mr. Hopper, the superintendent of Wasatch division, received th-m always with a.smile, promising from day to day to let them start, and each day brought disap pointment. One day the hands were hard at work, and would be through the next, and the next brought despair by the inform - ation that the snor had newly drifted into the deep cuts, and it was impossible to get through. Mcautimothe passengers were allowed the use of the telegraph, and they freely transmitted curses of the road to thi er-t- -erncities. ' ;t On the 2ist, Mr. J. N. Campbell, super intendent of the Laramie division, telegraph ed that two hundred passengers going west had been supplied with “three locomotives and shovels, with the understanding that they should shard throughHe adds: “They left here yesterday morning and have only got about twenty miles. They find that it is no play to shovel on-tv! One-fourth will not work at all." I his was cool enough! No wt-uder that tin th rumaieter wa» on the 'next day twenty-seven degrees below zero. It seems; these wostward-bound two hund red made little headway, and what became of them the correspondent of the Times does not say. The castward-bjnnd passen gers left Rawlings on the 22d, with thr e locomotives and seven days’ rations. They proceeded forty-fivo miles and lan into a snow-bank, where they remained forty-eight hours. 1 his eata-trophe, in the opiui.in of otic of the railroad condu.tors, was uot out of order, since, when they started, he told them it would serve them right if"they ran into a snow-bank. WlieD arrested by this deep bank of snow the passengers got out and worked hard, shoveling tiie snow from the track ; but as fast as they cleared it away it wis blown baek by the wind, nntil about midnight, in despair, they gave up, and the traiu and locomotives were still and motionless. That night the'thermometer fell to twenty-seven degrees below trio. Over seventy passen gers were frozen, more o~ less, including Judge Southard, of San Francisco, who had his uose-frozen, and Mr George E. Whit ney, who had both of his ears nipped off. On Wednesday, tlie24tb, ninety passen gers started to walk through to Laramie, a distance of ninety miles. Others afterwards followed so that not more than twenty-five passengers stuck to the snowed-up train. Oft the 25th instant they ■: ado seven miles, on the 26th they traveled twenty-six miles, eleven of them by a part of the number of travelers, on a locomotive to Miser Thi ncc. again by-foot the wearied and suffering pe destrians journeyed on, through wind and 'etidw,'' till they" fCachftd Laramie, on the lBt of V pril- Many ' were frost-bitten and all were greatly distressed •1 This is but a brief sketch of the horrors of this journey on the Union Pacific Rail road, which, as a winter ronte. is full of perils to travelers—even in summer they aie rot safe from snow-storms Oneoccnr- red last June in" the Rocky Mountains, -which subjected the passengers to intense suffering. - .Tbis road has been a pet of the Govern ment.

Nevertheless, the road via the Southwest l ass will be bnilt by private en terprise; and when it is finished if anybody from the'Pacific has his nose or his ears bit ten off by frost on the Union Pacific Rail road in February or Juae, it will be his own fault.—■Richmond Disp tch.

Try them Facts about the Cuban Revolution. The present movement for the liberation of Cuba from Spanish tyranny, says the New York Sun, began on tbelOth of Octo ber last, when one hundred and twenty- seven men at Yara, under General Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, declared for the inde pendence of the Island. In less than six months it hasspresd until it now embraces an area of 20,000 out of the 30,000 square miles included in the Island. Within these limits there are one hundred and forty-seven 'pities, towns and villages, of which more than one,half are in tfie hands of the revo lutionists. Out of the 150,000 men- able to bear arms in the whole Island 45,090 are in the ranks of the patriots, 30,000 of them being stationed in the Eastern, and 15,000 in the ; Central Department. The total population of. the district in rebellion is 548,838, of which there are in the Eastern Department 126,368 whites, 86,374 negroes, free before the revolution,- and 51,778 slaves, jnst emancipated by the patriot leaders. Ia the Central Department the numbers are 172,> 567 whites, 42,444 negroes, formerly free, and 69.207 slaves, newly freed. The pa- .triots have thus, it will be seen, given fib .erty.tp more .than 120,000 slaves, and, when ftey succeed in redeeming the whole Is land, will |4q the same for 180,000 more. The, estimated wealth of the real estate in the territory held by the patriots was, in 1862, $550,000,000, and its industry apd commerce were reckoned as representing a capital of $774,000,000. The annual pro- ductions were: Sugar, $62,000,000; tobac co, $15,000,000 ; other produce; - 852,000,- 000. It will thus be seen that the insurrection is ( by do meanstbe trilling matter the Span iards represent it to be. Mrs. Mattooh, advertises herseli in Iowa papers As “£tftrne^e6s-at-law.” Oh, law!

Sone one in the Editor’s Drawer 01 “Harper’s Monthly,” says: “Levi Pock- well, of East Windsor, Connecticut, is a gentleman who seems to have had certain notions relative to the expenditures requi site for the comfortable maintenance of his honschold that differed from the views of his spouse Julia. Julia having decided upon making sundry little purchases that Levi calculated he could not and would Dot afford, aud deeming it his duty to apprise the public that hr went upon the cash plan, annouiced that lact to the public in the following stanza; “Julia, my wife, has grown quite rude, - She has left meins lonesome mood; She has left my board. She has took my bed, She hoe gave away my meat and bread; She has leftme in spiteol friends and eh-irch, She has carried with her all my shirts. Now ye who read this paper, Since she cut this reckless caper, I will not pay one single fraction * For any debts of her contraction.” A recent number of the Tribune contain ed the following advertisement: •po ALL WHOM IT MAT CONCERN—If Mrs. J Fehler does no* return to her husband with- in three days he will consider himself parted. One wonld think this concerned Mr. Fehler (appropriate name 1) more nearly than any body else, if he was to be farted within three days. From an English paper we find this mor tuary advertisement: “Bonicth this stone in nope i t Zion, Doth ley the landlord of the Lion, Ha son keeps on the business still. Resigned unto the Heavenly will.” The next sounds ike an occasional per sonal in the Herald: “Oh my Derest Maly i wil tri to ancer yure Deer letter. O how my throbbin heart Docsaketo Embrase yn onse more. O veu Darling Rosy Bad wont you marry me. i hear the cko ancer i will. Doot let that Ugly thing take you a Buggy Ridin agin. O how i felt tbe first t tue we tntchcd our lips together. O how my hole frame did quiver but i must stop or i will co enizv. O bow we will divide the sor rows and comforts or life Ancer rite off from your George.” Apd here is one more somewhat similar iu sentiment—though perhaps both are equal’y poeti ■: TO LET. To be let at a very delicate rale, A snug little house in a fine healthy state, Tis a bachelor’s heart and the agent ia chance, A free lien the rent—to he paid in advance. The owner, as yet, has possess'd it alone. So the fixtures are not of much Tains; butsooa Twill he furnished by Copid himself, if a wife Take a lease for the term of her natural life. The tenant will have a lew taxes to pay— love, honor and—heaviest item—obey. As for the good-wilf, the ownert inclined To have that, if agreeable, settled iu kind, Provided true title, by proof, can be shown To a heart unencumbered and free as hi. own. So ladies, dear ladies, pray do not forget, Here's an excellent bachelor's habitation to let. “Legal Technicalities.” According to the Chronicle’s account says the Macon Telegraph of the interview between Gov. Bullock and the President upon the Georgia question, all is right be tween those functionaries. President threw the responsibili y of deciding the constitu tional rights involved in the rna'ter upon Congress, who he said were better law yers than he could claim to be: and besides, there was a necessity in the matter which would override all “lega technicalities.” This easy-going interpretation of his offi eial responsibilities will at OBCe resolve a] donbts. and put the President upon hel b.-st possible footing with the Supreme Congress. The day of vetoes, founded up- ou constitutional law, is over. The Presi. dent, we arc to understand, will shelter him Bdf in respect to them nnder a plea ofjw- tonal modesty—a line of policy which might be something safer if the Supreme Con- g ess would show a little ofthat same quality in its assumptions of power in defiane of the Constitution. Bnt where Congress is wholly without modesty or sctuple in their own unwarrantable usurpations, and the President is too modest to oppose his crude conclusions against their better knowledge, the Constitution stands no chauce at alL And finally, to clinch the matter, and re solve all doubts the President brings for ward again that same old tyrant’s plea of “necessity” which has over-ruled all law for the last ten years, and is in iact the on ly rule of action now in existence. Partisan “necessity” is the Moloch to which every substantial interest of the people, has been and will be remorselessly sacrified. The friends of Grant should sne out an injunc tion to stop Forney from publishing such wretched trash as this to the discredit of Grant, whether true or not Brother Philips is hot Again.—In his last Anti-Slavery Standard he pay Georgia a cimplimept, find shows hov the Constitution can be amended, if necessa- ry: “The amendment must not fail. We must, if necessary swamp Deleware and In diana by the creation of djiv States. There is Georgia vaporing in old Southern style, and in insolent defiance of the nation’s will.

The tin cation Settled Definitely. To remove all doubts on this subject, so far os they can be settled by the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, tbe com mercial editor of the Memphis Avalanche addressed a letter of inquiry to that- offi cer, to which be received tbe following re- ply: „ Treasury Department, "). Office of Internal Revenue, - Washington, January 26,1869. J “Sir—Your letter addressed to the Sec retary of the Treasury bas been referrd to this office for answer. In reply I have to say that the act of February 3d, 1868, abolisbiogthe tax on cotton, is so clear as to admit of no doubt as to its meaning and effect. The language of tbe aet is,“tbat all cotton grown in ift United States after the year 1868 shall be exempt from internal tax." This operates to exempt, -not only the crop of 1868, but the crops of all suc ceeding yean, until the act shall fee repeal ed or modified by subsequently legislation. “Very respectfully, E. A.

Fiendish Murder.—Correspondence of tbe Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel from Washington, Wilkes county, gives (he pars ticulars of a most foul assassination. He informs that paper that a most fiendish and horrible murder was committed about twelve miles irom Washington,on Wednes day night last, in the direction of Lexing ton. As Mr. Thouuis Thaxton, a member of the special jury, and detained as such by the court,was returning home in Us buggy that night, about eight o’clock, when with in a quarter of a mile of Us house, he wa& fired on,three balls taking effect in bis neck and bead, and died immediately. Mr. Thaxton was a sober, uniet and peaceable citizen, without an euemy in the county’ eithet among black or white No clue ft the perpetrators of this foul deed have been discovered, though suspicion rests upon two or thre eneuro men who had threatened the ife of another man,and.it is thought,killed Mr. Tba ton through mistake. It is to be hoped no diligence will be spared in finding out tbe parties guilty of this shocking af fair. LI rail Lies!! Lie*!!. Hon. Charles Sumner, of tbe United States Senate,and Gen. B. F. Butler, of the House, have of late,been surrounded by a perfect network of lies from Georgia,and if violent and oppressive measures are passed reconstructing reconstruction in Geoagia,th* bla ?e should not Test upon them,bat upon the incarnate devils in hnman shape wbo have gone to Washington to destroy the future prosperity and happiness of onr peo ple in order to promote their own wicked, selfish and diabol cat ends. As a Grant Republican,we loathe these monsters in hu man shape,and hope they may perish by the way-side, and that the State may never again be cursed by their presence. We ad- voe ted reconstruction from the start as a principle, but we are not willing to assassin ate it in order to make big men out of noth ing.

Dissolve a quarter of a pound of lime in a gallon of cold water, then take off the clear; dissolve half a pound of sal soda in a quart of water, and mix it with the clear lime water. One pound of brown soap dis solved in a gallon rf watrr is then to be added to the clear liquor, formed with the sal soda and lime water, and this forms soap. This soft soap is excellent for boiling white linen; it removes all grease that is in them, because it contains an excess of caustic lye. About one quart of it is sufficient for boil ing clothes in a ten gallon wash-kettle. A qnanty of this may bo made and kept for. constant use. The Tenure-of-Office Law—The Compro mise Adopted. • The joint committee of conference on the late disagreement between tbe two houses on the 1 enore-of-Office law came to a com promise yesterday, which was adopted by ■both booses, aud 0 ly needs the President’s signature to make it the law in his remov als and appointments. The Senate modifi cation of the Johnson law struck out the section tying up the President in reference to his Cabinet, but made his suspensions from office during a recess of the Seqaft subject to the consent of that body at its next session—the s spended officer being reinstated i the event of the Senate’s dis approval of his suspension. The conference report adopted provides that when the Sen ate shall not concur in the nomination made to supply a suspension, the President shall nominate another person as soon as practi cable for said office, which Is a material change. Under the conference amendment -he President’s removals are decisive, while as the Senate had it they depended npon the will of the S note. This is an important point gained by General Butler; but still there is an impor tant point surrendered to the Senate. It is in the first section of the n«N t)ill| ft- tained from the Senate lull, which provides that all civil officers appointed with the conseo( of the Senate shall hold their offices for the regular term of their appointment, unless sooner removed with the consent of the Senate or by a new appeintmeotapprov- ed by the Senate. It strikes us this sec tion still keeps in tbe Senate the wbiphaod oyer the President in reference ft hia remo vals, including tbe Cabinet, daring the sit tings of Congress; while he can only reach objectionable subordinates, in the absence of the Senate by the half-waj remedy of suspensioo. General Grant ought to veto this bill and take his stand for a clean repeal of the Ten ure-of-Office law. Now is his time ft bring the two houses ft b P oyn* terms. Under tbe yielding policy the more he yields tbe more they will demand; but by a simple veto of this bill, with his reasons tensely stated, be will at oace become master of the situation.

I have co donbt that you will coocnr with me in the opinion that it is desirable to restore the States which were engaged in the rebell'on to their proper relations to the Government and the country at as early a period as the people of those States shall be’ found willing to become peaceful and or derly communities, and to adopt all consti tutions and laws as will; effectually secure tbe civil and political rights of all pen on* within their boundaries. Tbe authority of tbe United States, which bas been vindicat ed and established by its militaiy power, must undoubtedly be asserted for the abso-. late protection of all its citizens, in fall en joyment of tbe freedom and security which is tbe object of a republican government; bnt whenever the people of a rebellions State are ready to enter in good iaith upon the accomplishment of this object, in entire conformity with the constitutional authori ty of Congress, it is cert ainly desirable that all causes of irritation should be removed as promptly as possible, that a more perfect Union may be established, and tbe country restored to peace and prosperity. The Con vention of the people of Virginia, which u.et in Richmond on Tuesday, December 3d, 1867, framed a constitution for that State, which was adopted by the 'Conven tion on the 17th of April, 1868, and I de sire respectfully to call the attention of Congress to the : propriety of providing fey law for the holding of an election in that State, at some time during'the months of May or June next, under, the direction of the military commander of the district, at which the question of the adoption of that Constitution shall be submitted to the citi zens of the Statej and if it should seem de sirable I would recommend that a separate vote be taken upon such parts as may be thought expedient, aod that at the same time, and under the same -authority, there shall be an election for the officers provided under such Constitution, and that .the Con stitution adopted by the people be submit ted to Congress on tbe first Monday of De cember next for its emsideration, so that if thesameis then approved the necessary stops will have been taken for tbe restora tion of the State of Virginia to its proper relations to the Union. I am led to make this declaration from the confident hope and beli.'f that the people of that State are now rea ly to co-operate with, the national gov ernment in bringrogit again into sueh re lations to the Union arit ought, as soon as possible, to establish and maintain, and to give to all its prople those equal rights un der the law which were asserted iu the De claration of Independence, in the words of one of her most illustrious sons. I desire also to ask tbe consideration of Congress to the question whether there, is. not just ground for believing that tie Constitution framed by a Convention of the people of Mississippi for that State, and once reject ed, might not be again submitted to her people in like manner, and with the proba bilities of the same result. U. S. Grant. From Washington. Washington, April 8.—Gen. Young, representative from Georgia, informed tbe delegation from that State to-day, that Butler’s Georgia bill will not probably be resumed this session, and if taken up, would certainly be defeated.

Tbe bill authorizing the submission of the Constitution and election of State offi cers and members of Congress in Virginia, Mississippi and Texas, passed by 125 to 24. It authorizes tbe President to order elec tions at discretion; it also authorizes him to snbmit the entire Constitution, or sepa rate provisions, and forbids election in Tex as until authorized by the President.

Last Monday, at tbe Quaker L.mjnary, about two miles northeast of Salem, there was a scene enaoted that Quaker eyes were unused to.

No sooner was it fonnd out that such was the case than the white boys called a meet ing and resolved thrt if the negroes remain ed they wonld not. A committee was ap pointed to inform Pinkem that, although they recognized his right to teach whom he pleased, yet if Sambo and Jim remained they wonld not. Pinketn yielded, and the “men and brothers” made tracks.
