SNOW has again visited ns, and we expect to hear the ‘'tin tinnabulation of sweet sounds" from merry sleigh- bells again. We had a few days of thaw the last part of last week, when old Jack Frost again pinched up the checks of the shriveled poor, and made the rich gather their furs more closely around them. Coal dealers thermometrieally take advantage of the change of the atmosphere and fulfil the injunction (not di vine,) to "put money in the purse," by adding a del la r a ton for their black diamonds. MUCH REUBEX is freely expressed here that Hon. .Alex. H. Stephens will not consent to become a representative of your State in Congress. No man in the South probably is more kindly thought of by all classes of our people thuu lie, and it is well remsmbered that were his ei- lorts, a couple oi years since, successful in behalf of peace, there would have beau less to forget on both of what was then two sides of a great country. PRIVATEERS. We have had two privateer “scares" this week so fir, and may have a half dozen more before the week is out. One of them was occasioned by the steamer Cuba, eleaung lor BaltimNre, and not sailing for two or three days thereafter. She was not detained at all. and has since arrived at Baltimoic, whence she wilt assume her place on ihc line from tliai port to Havana, instead of engaging in the privateer business under the Fenian flag. The “Faugh-a-baUaghs" will have to try again. The other case was more plausible, and the authori ties detained the splendid steamer Meteor, (which was built by Boston capitalists very quietly the last j ear of the war for the express purpose of hunting up the Alal\.ma,) which cleared for Panama, but some ol oiu Spamsb residents had been watching her, and one of them made affidavit of his belief that she was intended i a Chilian privateer to prey upon Spanish commerce. An examination taking place on beard shows ihat she has hardly any cargo other tnan heavy timber, which naval pc.-pic* think is intended to strengthen her decks for the reception of guns and gun-carriages, and other heavy war material. As yet no war munitions have been found. She is very fast, and is generally be lieved to belong to somebody interested in Chilian af fairs. cottox insurance In this city has risen considerably the past week. Some companies refuse to take risks on this material in store in this city on any account, while others have advanced their premiums irom 3 to 6 and 7 per cent. The recent disastrous fires which have proved so dis astrous to stocks of cotton have proved equally as dis astrous to Insurance companies, and it is said that an inspection of tho books of our underwriters would ex hibit anything but a favorable exposition of their finan cial status. One company, the Columbian, has, in the terse phrase of Wall street, “gone up.” Several others are expected to make Eerial flights in the same direc tion shortly. personal. The jocund countenance of "ye senior” of the Sa vannah Herald dropped iE at these heardquarters on Tuesday evening, and he has been holding what his friends (and they are legion) cull a "Mason.ic levee" at the Astor House. The only regret is that his visits Manhattanwaid are so few and far between. On his return he will take to Savannah his accomplished wifm, whose loss to her large circle of friends here will be seriously lelt. ICE-EOAT RACES have been as prevalent on the Hudson river as mea sles in a Maine regiment. They are great institutions,' and always citia. t great crowds of people to witness them. The speed of these craft is perfectly tremend ous, and a high pressure locomotive has no show whatever with them. They account one of these erktt as “no shucks" unless it can travel a mile a minute, and with a high wind they easily accomplish three miles in two minutes I They are made triangular, set on irons fashioned Bomewhat like skates, with the for ward, or rather the iron at the peak, used as the guide or rudder. They are made quite large, spread an im mense sail, and, being floored, carry a very large num ber of persona. The mauteuvring of these swift craft is a distinctive science, and developes a skill almost unknown to the common laws of navigation. Terrible Acrideut in Hull, England— Seven Houses Blown Down—Four Per sons Killed. During the day one of the most terrible gales that have ever visited Hull has been raging through the town aud neighborhood, and has resulted in a most terrible calamity. During the early part of the day the gale wus exceedingly violent, anil caused great damage in many parts of the town. About 9 o’clock a gust of wind of unusual violence caught a large new building. Intended fora coach manufactory, and blew one or the walls down, which fell on to some houses beneath. An entire block of bouses in Tem perance street were thus either blown down or com pletely suiased in by ihe falling wall. Wdb out a moment’s wurnlng seven bouses, with their iuliahl- tanis, were converted into a heap of ruins, in some cases not even a wall lieing left standing. Beside the houses which were thus completely destroyed, the fronts of four or five standing opposite were smashed in, five of the seven houses being down a narrow court. When tlie crash of the falling houses was heard the greatest alarm and consternation, as may be imagined, prevailed in tlie neighborhood, and num bers rushed to the scene of tlie calamity only to And tiieir friends and neighbors burled in a heap of ruins. Man; were*found in a frightfully mangled condition, and four were found dead. Two children, one a girl, were preserved In a miraculous manner. When the tiopse fell in they, by some menus or other, slipped beqegth several beams, which, being thrown into a slanting position, protected them from the falling ruins. When fouBd. tile girl inquired pite ously arter her mother! “Never uijud me, Outlook after my mother.” was her cry. Important Rumob.—'We hoard it stated last night (says tho New Orleans Delta, of the 18th,) that Gen. Sheridan had given orders for all vessels leaving this port for the Bio Grande to stop at Galveston and take ou the troops. This seems to indicate fe determination on the part of the distinguished commander of the Gulf Division to be prepared for any emergency that may arise on that troubled frontier. Governor Parsons, of Alabama, vetoed the bill, rsgu> lating contracts with freedmen on the ground that no special law was needed for ’ them more than other parties making contracts. He also vetoed the bill ex tending to freedmen the State criminal laws that wer* applicable to free persons of color in old times. Ha considers these laws impolitic and unjust as applied now to freedmen. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1866.

Gov. Fletcher, General Sherman, and others made eulogistic speeches. —A striking evidence of the decay into which the agricultural interests of South Carolina have fallen, is found in the fact that imported rice is now used at Charleston. —The Mobile (Ala.) Register has nominated General Grant as a candidate for President in 18C8. —General Hooker lies at his residence in New York completely paralyzed, being unable to read or write. —William Sprague, the Rhode Island Senator, and his brother, Aruasa Sprague, employ six thousand hands at their manufacturing establishment. —The homestead of Henry Clay was 9old on the 12th inst. to the Regent of the Kentucky University for the sum of ninety thousand dollars.

Kadical and Conservative Strength in tlie Kluusc. The New York Herald estimates the com parative strength of the component elements of the House of Representatives as follows : “Tlicre are in tlie House as it is now constituted, ex cluding the representatives from the eleven Southern States, one hundred and eighty-four members. Of this number, forty-one are Democrats. Fifty-three Republi cans voted in favor of qualified negro suffrage in the District of Columbia, and are, therefore, entitled to be called Conservative Republicans. Beside these, there were eleven members elected as Republicans who voted agamst negro suffrage in every form in which it came up, both qualified and universal. Their names are re corded with the Democrats ou every vote taken on that measure. This gives the anti-radical strength of the House one hundred and five votes, as follows . Democrats : 41 Conservative Republicans 53 Republicans voting with Democrats on each vote... 11 Total 105 This leaves the radicals only seventy-nine votes out of the one hundred and eighty-four, giving that tac tion the benefit ol all the Republican absentees when the vote on negro suffrage was taken, also including Speaker Cultax, who dodged all the votes on that oc casion. The most favorable calculation, therefore, that can be made for the radicals gives the conserva tive portion ol Congress twenty-six majority over them. In the face of this fact, with this large majority who arc ready and anxious to support the policy, of Presi dent Johnson, Stevens manages to cany all his points, and is not only delaying reconstruction, but is also gradually tying the hands of the Executive, and will soon njake him powerless unless the radicals are checked in their schemes- There were only one hun dred and seventy members preset)} or voting when the question was taken ou negro suffrage in the Distrjci- Of those not voting ten were Republicans and lifer Democrats. Of those voting, tliirty-seven, insteacWfe.. thirty-five, as heretofore stated, were Democrats. Add to this the eleven Republicans who voted with the radi cals against recommitting the bill or against qualified suffrage, and then voted with the Democrats against the bill, and we have only sixty-nine radical Repub licans voting on that day, and yet carrying their point over the heads of sixty-three conservative Republicans of all shades and the Democrats combined. A more disgraceful route of a superior force by a minority was sever before reeprded in history.’* Patent Beer.” Tlie dritikeia of lager beer have been a little puz zled. and perhaps bewildered, of late by a contest concerning the relative merits of differeut brewings or lager beer. Some time since, a number of leading breweiT, having desired a process by which the de fects of tlie old system of brewing would be over come, aud the amount of starch wasted would be saved, tested the system proposed by an eminent practical chemist. They found they were thus en abled to convert the entire starch Into sugar, to im- f ireve tlie beer in 1.8 strength, and Its keeping quall- les and to brew regardless of the season. Tlie new beer found favor In aU respects, and was rapidly su perseding the old, when those who adhered to the ancient process cast about them for some mode to keep their breweries open. They raised the cry, “ Patent Beer?" aud iutimated that the pleasant beverage was compounded of something else besides mull aud hops—that it ought to be .spelt “bier” in English as well as in German, being an Ingenious device Tor carrying people to their gr .ves. So per sistent wits the cry that many honest people fancied they could taste terrible tilings in the new drink, and complained accordingly. It is alleged. Indeed, with whsi w«i runt we know not, that a man was often called to pass judgment as “Patent Beer” upon some of the old beer specially doctored for tile occasion. The brewers under the new process, alter submitting to these attacks in silence, have at length chosen to reply to them in a legitimate way. They have sub- mllted their beerto the analysis o'r eminent chemists, in comparison with the beer made by the old pro cess, and uie result, as will be seen by a communi cation elsewhere, Is n triumphant demonstration In their favor. Nevertheless, if any prefer the old beer, be bus only to add a little water in wfilch starch has l/eeu dissolved to tlie new beer, to reproduce the old and suit ids palste exactly.—N. Y. Courier.
