How the Public Lands Gk>.— The Illinois Cen
timl Railroad Company advertise in the Piow, Loom
ana Anvil “about two millions of aeres of farming
land, in tracts of 40 acres and upwards." at prices
varying from five to twenty five dollars per acre,
according to location, quality.” <ko. Upon tins
fact the Kortli Carolina Argus auomits the foiJ#wing
juat and practical observations. Our eon temporary,
in view of the course of the Demr-eracy, in respeet
to the land question, esser'a that a North Carolina
Democrat is the stupidest of ail animals; out we
venture to suggest that a Virginia Democrat is the
t' ugliest case of the two. But here is the article ii em
the Argun: —Richmond Whig.
“rhia land was donated to the company by the
general government to enable :hem to build their
road. They have built and equipped the road oat
us the grant made, and have two inilhona ©i certs
left lor sale. The road is seven hundred milts long;
and, therefore, some idea may be formed of the ex
tent to which they have been allowed to cut into the
public domain Their road we say i* built and
equipped, und they have lands enough left to bring
ti.*em thirty millions of dollars over end above the
Oat of the road ; for two millions of ac es at prices
Tinging from five to twenty-five dollars per acre,
wilfarerage fifteen dollars per acre
“This, then, is what Democracy Las done for Illi
nois , while the same just, glorious and immaculate
Democracy refused to give to poor old Uzy trucu
ent North Carolina enough of the public domain to
buy a pair of half-soles for her brogue* Tot the
leaders of the party tell their blind aud deluded fol
lowers that it is unconstitutional to give away the
public lauds, or let the old States have an acre to
build roads’. Does the history of mankind furnish
evidence of the existeuc# of any oin«r such party
troin the ereation of the world to the present day ?
Why a brute that wauts discourse of reason could
hardly be to stupid as a North Carolina Democrat.
•*pivy ; t hogs, which oame up for him to whip the n
with a hickory for the purpose of making them root,
were rational and intelhgeut animal* compared with
a North Carolina Democrat. We want roads; wo
want looks and dams on our streams of water; wq
want facilities for getting to market; and our peo
ple are thronging to the capitol to importune the
legislature for aid to enable them to eoinplet© their
improvements—aid which they we i know cannot
be granted without taxing themselves and all others
heavily,and more heavily. Yet the controlling par
ry in the State shout for the men who give away
the national domain by millions of aore* at a time
to build up other States and construct roads for fat
c >rporationa, while—O mirabiiediotu! —they declare
it uuconatitutiou&l for them to take cu aere to build
their owu roads, or aid in the development of their
own resources ! Is not the idea of being ruled by
such a set of charlatans enough to moke a man ab
jure his State aud fly to some more fortunate land
where the maj >rity have more sense.
Ukuakks—The extraordinary course pursued by
the Democracy of those States iu which theie are
no publio lands is not owing to stupidity. The Vir
ginia and North Carolina Democrats are not more
aiupid than other people. They know perfeetly
well that the public lauds, wherever found, belong
os much to the people of their respective S ates as
to the people of the States in wnich the la d lie;
aud they are sensible of the great benefits that
would result to their States from having even a
portion—far less than their just share—of the publie
lands, wherewith to construct railroads. Ac. But they
forego these benefits and resolutely oppose the distri
bution policy, because suoh policy is highly distasteful
to the Democratic party iu those States where the
lands are situated For party consideration» mei •-
ly they oppose what would be of the greatest ad
vantage to their respective States. This bus been
the com lu Tennessee as vrell ns iu Virgiuiaaud
North Carolina. We trust, however, that th time
is approaching when the people of Tennessee, look
ing their own ]ust rights and best interests rather
than to party expediency, will, with one voiee, de
maud through their representatives in Congress that
the system of favoritism which has 9o long prevail
ed in the disposition of the public lands shall cease;
hud that they shall have their ju9t proportion of the
benefits derivable from them.
Extraordinary Romance.— During the inves
tigation of the criminal charges at the Birmingham
police office on Friday, a young man wi * lying
sleeping upon one of the benches in a corner. llis
appearance exhibited great want, and his \ oots> ud
trousers up to his knees, were covered with dry mud.
He waa of very handsome appearance, though the
sunken cheeks and prominent eyes betokened a
long fuating. He wore a alight mustache and beard
ot a fair color, aud his clothes were of the best tex
ture and make. At the close of the public busiuess
he stepped forward audsought relief of the pret-id-ug
magistrate. His tale waa a romance. lie said he
waa an American by birth, but lmd leit that coun
try more thau five years to travel in various coun
tries—among others, Afrioa, Turkey, France, &o.
He desired to get to Liverpool, where he knew the
American consul aud several captaius of the Collins
l ine of steamers and he could rely upon the aid of those
gentlemen to trail- port him to his home. He also said
he was a gentleman by birth and education, and that
he was the American vice-consul at Marseilles for ten
month?. In reply to various questions lie stated
that ne had been robbed of in a case in Paris,
where he had been stopping. He Jett London with
out, sufficient means to pay his fare to Liverpool,
aud intended to foot it; but found that the little
mony be had was gone too quick. The inagistate
then ordered a constantable to show the man to the
parish officers and ask them to relieve Jiiui if they
could. The papers iu his possession bore mar
foreign postmarks, and some et them were addressee j
iu fine writing to “E. 11. Estmanville, Esq , Ameri
can Vice-Consul, Marseilles.” On Thursday night 1
the poor fellow had applied for shelter at the central
police office station, but was also told they “could
do nothing for him.” He afterwards walked about
some hours, and ultimately slept in a tub in a yard
in New street, till the cold and wet drove him to
walk again. At the parish offices he got no relief, 1
the law not allowing the distribution of money for
the purpose for which the American sought it, name
ly, to forward him to Liverpool. The relieving of
ficer on duty offered him a note for the workhouse,
but refused, expressing his determination “to die on
the road first,” and so left the officers.— Burning

The Sugar Chop or Cuba.—The Commercial
Circular of Burnham & Co., Havana, dated Janu
ary 23d, contains *ome speculations on tho sugar
crop of that Island, from which we extract the fol
lowing :
Tho supplies of now sugar are as yet quite restric
ted, as grinding has not progressed so favorably as
was antic ipated. The sales are almost entirely tor
Spain, of the better qualities, at high figure*. \Ve
may quote as follows : white 15 to 19 rls; fiorete
yellows 13$ to 14 rls , good and fine 12 to 13 rla ;
browns 11 to ll| rls; Cueurucho 10 to 10$ rls.—
There is settled price for Muscovado yet; some
of fine quality was sold at 10 rls. Entire crops were
contracted at 9 tj 9$ rils., and 10 rls. was refused for
crops of superior quality.
The crop of sugar in the Island last year fell short
ns was anticipated, from the quant ty‘ produced in
1855, the decrease being equal to about 100,000
boxes. The whole amount of exports makes the
equivalent of 1,815,250 boxes, against 1,925.000
boxes in 1855. We may reckon the quantity of
clayed as nearly 1,100.000 boxe9.and of Muscovado
as about 250,000 hogsheads, so that th©re is an in
crease of 30,000 hogsheads of which more was pro
duced, than at any previous period while the de
crease iu boxes it nearly 200,000.
The United States received from the various ports
in the island a larger quantity than ever, owing to
the short supply of their home orope. The exports
to that country of clayed and Muscovado, chiefly the
latter, were equal to $ 10,000 boxes, against 800,700
boxes in 1854.
The growing crop gave the promise of large pro
duction, but i&tely complaints have been heard
from all quarters of the injury the cane had received
not only from the hurricane whion occurred some
time since, but also from a too great prevalence of
drought, and extremely oold weather, almost
amounting to froet, the effect o. which is to dry up
the cane aud diminish its yield, which on some es
tates is showing a reduction of 25 to 30 per eent. us
compared with former corresponding periods. It is
therefore not likely that the production will be abun
dant. It seems reasonable to expect that our prises
will rule high during the ensuing season.
“Ths Rb9olute.’’ —Well, we have been invaded
by Jonathan, and all of us Engliahers taken prison
ers Captain Hartstein and his jovial, gallant crew
have carried away the best part of the Britishers—
their hearts. We have struck to the generosity of
the Stars aud Stripes, and only pant with a feeling
to avenge ourselves by the best and greatest act of
gratitude that destiny may yet have in store for us.
The Resolute, a waif and stray among mountainous
icebergs, rubbed aud barked, and a little, and not a
a-liilie nipped, was picked up by American hands,
oarried into an American port aud forthwith docked
in an American dock, to be returned by son Jona
than to daddy John, as spick and span as when she
first turned her bows from her English home for Arc
tic seas. There was fine music going on whilst the
Resolute lay in that American dock. Every blow
of the shipwright's hammer struck a note of lasting
peace between the couutr es. Yanket Doodle ana
God Save the Queen were sounded by that har
monious iron. Captain Hartstein, in his manly,
sailor-like speech—with the smack of the true salt
iu it—hoped that the old timbers of the Resolute
would float for many a day. Sure we are that they
will float with a still enduring strength, none the
worse, but all the better, forth© bit of timber grown
on the soil of America, that may here and there be
found in her English carcass. Sweet and especially
fragrant, the pitch that newly caulked her—pitch
tapped from American pines.
Captain Hartateinhas departed, and is now on the
Atlantic. Our regret is that he could not have been
brought face to face with all England ; that every
Englishman could not have had a grip of his aaiior
hand. This was not to be, but—we give the hint
to the Lords of the Admiralty—why not, as a furth
er perpetuation of the gallant fellow's mission: why
not christen the uext English ship that it launched—
Tke Hart stein ? Further, we know not. whether
we would not lengthen the name of The Resolute
into The Resolute Johnathan ; or, we are not particu
lar to The Johathan Resolute. In these suggestions
Punch has done hie duty ; let the Lords of the Ad
miralty imitate Punch
We see it stated that Rogt r Pryor, the editor of the
Richmond Enquirer, is about to sever his connection
with that paper, and unite in the management of
the Charleston Mercury. Why is this ? Has Mr.
Pryor become too much cf a fire-eater for the Bu
ck anau Democracy of the Old Dominion and con
cluded to come to Carolina for congeniality of
political climate ? We have been suspecting for
some time that Mr. Pryor was ahead of the Demo
cratic music, and but illy representing his consti
tuents. His recent declaration, too. that he would
accept no appointment under Mr. Buchanan s ad
ministration, look* somewhat ominous. What is
the matter among “the harmonious’? — Savannah

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MOANING, FEBRUARY IS, 1857.
Scene* in ike luoiana Lcnalamre. f
On Jlunday, the 12th, A P. Wiiiiard, E*q the
new Governor, was sworn into office under very
peculiar circumstances. The House of Representa
tives has a large democratic majority, and they are
the Governor’s friends. The Senate has a small repub
iman majority, and are exceedingly hostile towards
their opponents. A. P. Wiilard was Lieutenant Go
vernor, and presided as President of the Senate
when the Legislature first convened; the second
of the session the two houses were so far organ
ized as to proceed to busine«B indue form. The
Senate moved to go into an election of a President
pro tern , and at tins time Willard was in the chair.
ii? 0 ? 1 * *P ut Bkd insisted that he
atid held the right to act in that oapacity, and should
exercise it until sworn in as Governor. Here fol
lowed an exeiting scene. A Senator nominated an
other Senator to act as President; Willard called the
Senate to order, but they did not heed him, and the
Senator put the motion bimseif, and am d great con
fusion it was declared carried. Tbe Senator who
was chosen was then conducted to the chair, but
vv ii ard refused to yield, and the Senator took an
other chair on the right of Wiilard, and remained
there during the morning—but was not permitted to
aet, Willard eontinuing firm in his determination.
The Senate proeeded to nominate their own stand
ing eommitteee, and did not permit Willard to make
them, and he assented to that. At two o'clock Go
vernor Wright had the two houses together, to deliv
er, in person, hi 3 valedictory. On this occasion all
of the Senate attended. At adjournment it was re
solved that the joint convention should again meet
on Monday, the 12th, at half-past two o’clock, to in
augurate the new Govsrnor. In great confusion
thsy tbeu d'speised.
On Monday morning both houses regularly assem
bled, and each proceeded to their order of business
At five minutes bercre two o’clock Willard an
nounoedto the Senate it was time to go into joint
convention, and requested the Senate to follow him
to the chamber of the House, aud then descended
from the chair, walked out, followed by several
democratic Senators only. The others, having a
quorum, remained in session, appointed a Senator to
the •hair and proceeded in their business as though
nothing strange had taken place. A funny scene
now followed in the House. Willard took a seat
beside the Speaker of the House, and called the
convention to order; the offie : al votes were then
produced, and they commenced the count; alter the
count was through Willard was declared duly elect
ed, anti was then sworn in as Governor, after wh : ch
he delivered his inaugural address, and a pretty
harsh one it was. The Lieutenant Governor’s offi
cial vote waa then counted, and Judge Hammond
was declared duly elected, and lie was then sworn
in as Lieut Governor. The chairman then deeiared
the joint Convention adjourned, until three weeks
from that day.
This sudden announcement took all by surpise,
and created much sensation. Weil, even since that
tune, they have been bucking at each other fierce
ly for the mastery, and you may expect to learn
that by Thursday night next. 6th instant, Jesse D.
Bright and Graham N. Fitch ere on their way to
Washington, with doeuinents iu their possession to
show that they have been duly elected by the In
diana Legislature, to represent this State in the
national Senate at Washington. [The telegraph an
nounces the eiectiou as announced by our corres
pondent—Ed. Herald ] What a clever and ainu-’
sing furore will be created out^ef this move. The
whole affair is really the best p'ayed game that has
occurred these many .years, and the democrats are
entitled to great credit for the masterly manner in
which they have managed it.
The next forty days will leveal some very rare
party tricks, aud will probably be the means to
round a new system of tactiw for future political
warfare.— N. Y. Herald.
Ctfß an Sugar Plantation.—A correspondent of
the Syracuse Courier give* the following interesting
account of one of the largest sugar plantations in
Cuba:
“This estate is very properly called the 'Fior
de Cubas, (Flower of Cuba.’) There are other es
tates as large and larger, but none that have such
perlect machinery, and which have laid out so much
money for that, and on buildings. There are about
I,OOU acres of land, nearly three-quarters of which
are under cultivation with sugar cane, the balance
being devoted to grazing and plantain field?. The
product of this estate, ofcourse, varies with different
years ; thus, last year, owing to the rains, they could
not out all their cane and it fell short hut its present
average crop is 10,000 boxes and 1,000 hogsheads of
sugar, and its gross income at present prices will be
froni $120,000 to $350,000. Ot this enormous sum
about one-half is absorbed by interest on its debt
and by its annual expenses. There are 650 hands—
-350 negroes and 250 Chinese. The rest are over
seers, cartmeu, coopers, engineers, &o. There are
80 ox carts for drawing the cane to the mill, and 600
oxen, four being used to every cart, and they are
relieved twice a day. There are many buildings in
this village, for it is almost like one. Besides the
sugar-house, there is the dwelling houses for the
owner and for the overseers, the drying-houses,the
hospital, the baracoons for the slaves, and even a
nursery for the children of the slavi s.
The sugar-house here is the principal atti action,
and it is un enormous affuir. It is all one floor and
covered by a single roof, and its interior is some
what, similar to that of some i f our large sugar re
tin. ties in New York. There are two large rolling
mills for crushing tho cane, each with three rollers
six feet long, and placed on the top of two, the cane
feeding itself and passing under one and over the
other two rollers, it comes out squeezed almost dry,
and as flat as a sheet of paper, the juice runs down
into troughs. These rollersare set very close, with
in an eighth of an inch of each other, and the pres
sure is enormous. To drive these rollers there is an
engine of fifty horse power. The juice then is car
ried by pumps to a set of fourteen kettles, where by
steam it is condensed, and then it runs through a
body of carbon or burnt bone in another set of cis
trnsj it is then carried to avacuum pan, where it is
•operated, then over a set of copper pipes for con
densation, again through the charcoal tor decolor
ing, then into another vacuum pah, where it is boil
ed to a crystallizing point. It is then carried off to
another part of the building, and by copper ladies
is emptied into the sugar moulds, holding about six
ty pounds each i wherein another day it i 3 ready for
c laying.
This process is only followed where It is intended
to make box sugar, which is always olayed, while
that packed in hogsheads is callec Muscovado, and
is then packed into the casks in a green state, where
it is then allowed to purge itself for fifteen or twonty
dayß, and is then ready for shipment. On this estate
they make most y clayed or box sugar, and the p. o
eess of claying is this. The moulds containing the
green sugar are placed on long floor in a room
holding from Blio to 1,000 moulds ; the point of the
mould is below the level of the floor, which is made
with square holes for their support; after the sugar
has set m the moulds the plug at the bottom is taken
out, and on the base or upper flat surface of the su
gar is placed a quantity of black pasty clay which
has tl.e property of distributing the water v ery
equally through it. This clay is wet and ihe water
finers slowly through the body of the sugar, carry
ing with it all color and leaving the base of the cone
perfectly white. This process is repeated several i
times and the sugar is kept in this house for about j
twenty days. It is then turned out of the moulds i
into large open, flat, wooden trays, and the different ■
layers of strata of sugar is divided by a negro with ;
a large cleaver into white, brown and yellow, that
nearest the point is still 00l red with molasses and
not very dry. These several classes are all kept by
themselves, and the sugar is dried either by the sun or j
by ovens, and then packed into boxes holding about
401! pounds each. These are then nailed and strap
ped by p eces of green oowhide in narrow strips,
the boxes weighed, branded and ready for transport
to market.
pMiLADiLPMii. Gas Works.— The Philadelphia 1
Ledger supplies tiie following facta in relation to the
g>:s works of tkat city:
During the year 1856, 44,468 tons of coal, 351,840
pounds i f ru6in, and 644 cords of wood were used
for the production of gas. The greatest number of
retorts in use at one time in all the works was 356.
The number of meters and eervice set was 2,323
The total number of consumers registered on the
books of the Trust, on the Ist iust., was 25,514. The ,
total number of public lights supplied was 2,701. — •
Number of private lights 334,891.
There was laid during the past year 50,122 feet of
street mains, making the entire length of mains be- j
longing to the Trust 1,132,321 feet. The total
amount of service pipe laid is 391,136 feet, making
2,144 miles of mains and 74 miles of services.
In reference to the lighting of the public lamps,
the report Btates that is believed by impartial judges
that this service has been faithfully performed by
the Trust, and that the public lamps are in a state
of efficiency far superior in every respect, compared
with the condition in which they wee when the
contract was made. The total number of the public
lamps on the Ist inst., which are lighted under the
contract was 5,574 ; of these, 877 are fluid lamp 9,
and the remainder gas lamps. To light, extinguish,
cleanse and repair these lamps, require the constant
services of a large number of persona.
The average amount of gas consumed oy each
lamp monthly was fully 1,800 feet, or 21,600 feet per
annum, as ascertained by the lamp meters from
July Ist to December 31st, 1856. Tbe burners
used in the public lamps average full six feet per
hour, which gives 2,600 hours actual lighting for the
year 1856 ___
Navigation of the YY saT-Steanters Sunk. — As
announced by telegraph, the recent mild weather
has had the effect of awakeuing the hopes of our
Western friends fora permanent re-opening of nav
igatioH. Every where the Western papers speak
of the rise of the rivers and the breaking up of the
ice, and at Cincinnati on Thursday the scene is said
to have been not less terrible than exciting. No
less than six steamers were wrecked by the flood
and rushing ice. The “Gipsey,” an Arkansas river
boat, was a total wreck; value $12,000 and no in
•urance. A small steamer called the “James Watt”
was lost, valued at $4,000 ; and the “Yorktown No.
2," valued at $16,000; the Thomas Shriver, at
SII,OOO, and the Dunleith, at SIB,OOO, were also
among those lost. Several other boats were seri
ously injured. A Cincinnati paper says; One thing
is worthy of remark. Last year the Underwriters
were the greatest losers by the destruction of the
boats at our landing, for all the injured steamers
were insured, except one. This year the owners
have to bear the lots, for of the six steamers injured
only one is insured.— Balt- Amer.
The Youth of our Day. —Where is now our
youth ? where our old men ? We have men boys
and boy men. But where are the veritable boys—
the boys with eager hearts, throbbing pulses, buoy
ant spirits, gay hopes, glowing fancies, unreasoning
beliefs, and ready faith—tbe boys with the young
thoughts and the young feelings gushing through
them like the juices of young life—the boys who
hail their stage of existence joyfully, gathering its
pleasures, battling its sorrows, and venting its im
pulses, not striving and straining after an unripe
Knowledge and a forced maturity ? Where are now
our veritable grey beards—the old men who cklmly
and quietly enter on their stage of life, assuming its
dignities, claiming its privileges, and fuifiiing its
functions; separating themselves from the turbid
action, the ton and strife of the world, and reposing
honorably in the retirement ot experience ana coun
cil ; not clinging to the semblance of foregone pe
riods, not envying the energies of youth or the prime
of manhood, but keeping alive the memories and
feelings of both to ray their declining day with mel
low light—the old men who rejoiced to wear their
grey hairs as a crown of glory, and stood afrnid their
reflows with their hoary heads, their wise hearts and
brows engraven with the lines of thought, like
** The while almond trees full of good days.**
Such men may still exist, scattered like old pol
lards over the levelled face of society; but they
are the products, not the result of thy materialism.
O Age f Tne youth which open under thy auspices,
and run by their creeds, cannot sow the seeds of
such a harvest. The youth formed under thy influ
ences and action will have no growth, will not
know the natural processes of maturition—“ First
the blade, then the ear. after that the foil corn in the
ear.” Thy youth win be put up aod fashioned like
a piece of'mechanism, set to work like a steam en
gine, moving ever by the same hard, heavy material
laws—so much speed from so much power, so much
knowledge from so much pressure.— Blackvood.

Chicago, which is more of a commercial than a
manufecturing city, now produces, it is said, nearly
fourteen millions of dollars’ worth of manutactured

Grave**, ibe Mississippi Defaulter.
The career of this misguided man furnishes a
most striking illustration cf the Scripture declara
tion, that—“ The w&v of the transgressor is hard ”
Embezzling a large sum from the State,of which he
was Treasurer, in 1843 he fled from Mississippi, and
until recently has not since been heard from. Last
summer, Gov. Mcßae, of that State, got a clue to
his whereabouts, ard by egents attached a tract of
land in Missouri to be his. It was found
that Graves hed b-3*n residingin Simcoe, Canada,
under the assumed name of House, where he for a
good while edited a newspaper, and has served as a
justice of the peaos. Two .arrests were inad« of
him there,““and the custody of his person claimed
under the Extradition Ashburton Treaty; but the
Canadian authorities ruled that the Treaty did not
provide for the rendition of persons charged with
only embezzlement-. Subsequent to these arrests,
the following correspondence took place, which
Governor Mcßae communicates to the Legislature
in a Special Message :
Simcok, July 22,1856.
To the Governor of Mississippi .-
Ae I do not know \ our name, I address you as
I do. v
I have been near fourteen years an exile, living
id this Siberia of America, exposed ;o this terrible
climate, where th© mercury often sink? to 40 degrees
below zero* separated from all that is dear to me on
earth. Surfely this is sufficient punishmeut for all
my previous acis— even if I had been living in Rus
sia my offense would not have merited the punish
ment I Lave endured.
You suiely cannot (after fourteen years of pun
ishment, when uiy bead is silvered with trouble and
wneu my children have grown up around me,
uqgpqgcious'of their father s misfortune) wish to de
grade me fftv farther.
I have a wife, S r, born iu the Sunny South, whose
relations reside in Madison county—who ia moat
anxious again to return to her native State. She
nobly deserted her parent?, her home, her all to fol
low her husband iuta exile—her puuishment baa
been greatef'thau nine. Bfie at least is innocent ;
but tula has not prevented the climate from doing
its worst upon her, and she i: gradually sinking into
the grave ; all she arks is to be permitted to return
to*her native* State, (Misa.ssipptJ to the Sunny
.South, to die. Tins she cacuot do unless ter husband
is free.
Now what. I propose is, to arrange the debt I owe
the State. You may say you have not th© power;
but I have no doubt the Legislature will sanction
any arrangement you may make. I have got so im
properly which you can know nothing of and which
if I was free'C>.ulti be 8«»ld to great advantage. Now
I propot© to agree to pay the State four thousand
collars a year until the entire debt is paid up, which
I «>we the State — tku I can do , and the moment I
fail lam willing to. go to prison. Ti is debt would
have b en paid years since, if it had not been for
my brother demy rqaaudering funds which I pin-©d
in ids' hands', and intended for t lre S f E«e. This I
will satisfy you of. when I see you, which I shall do
if you write me a letter pledging me your honor That
I shall not be molestfd as long as I Comply wlthiny
agreement. ■ You will find by the enclosed newspa
pe • slips that I do not write this from any fear ; a
few days ago the*courts of the country declared me
free and not liable t. be molested so long aa I re
ma ned iu Canada.
For years I conducted • ne of the most respecta
ble papers in Canada, aud as you will perceive on
the first page, ! wqe sole editor, and by the extiacts
which I send you, will flhd I always fought manful
ly for the .South. You cannot know the courage
this required u’u'eeji you lived here, iu this refuge us
runaway negroes tnd abolitionists. You have no
idea how much good it has done, extracts from
my paper have gone all over the Union and to En
gland.
Please write me a letter, directed to me in the
name I bear here
- Richard M. House.
Simcoe, Norfolk county, Canada West.
On the 7th of October I replied to him as follows i
Eibcutive Office, Miss., }
Jackson, October 7,185 G. j
Sir—Tour letter of the 22dof July last, with the
newspapers referred to, and various extracts from
other numbers ofthe paper, came to hand.
I ha ve not the sower to accede ft> the proposition
you make to return to Miesissi >pi, and settle the
amount of your defalcation to the State. Ihe Leg
islature will be it session the first Monday in De
cember next, and if you will muke your cominuni
cation to be laid before that body, I have no doubt
they will give it « just and fair consideration.
1 would auggeit to you, that the balance which
appears to be due against you, from Ihe bocks of
the Treasury at tie time of y« ur leaving, is about
forty-five thousand dollars, ($15,000) and that ail
annual payment of four thousand dollars a year,
which you propose, would not liquidate, even with
out interest, thedebt in a reasonable time, and
would,’therefore, perhaps, not bo favorably consid
ered by the Legislature.
1 would state, also, that suit has been instituted
by the State agaijst you, by attachment of a valua
ble tract'of laud In Misso ri, estimated by the at
torneys $12,006 —the title to the land being in the
name of your brother-in-law, J. P. Thomas, of this
county—but which, from the evidence in the posses
sion ofthe attorneys, Messrs. Sawyer & Sharpe, they
are of opinion can be subjected to the claim of the
State against you, as your property.
Should you allow this land to be subjected atonoe
to the claim ofthe State, on your being permitted to
return and settle your debt—to be sold, of course,
for its best value, and proceeds applied in part pay
ment of your liability, and then secure the balance,
to be paid in annual instalments, in such sums as
would liquidate the whole amount in a reasonable
time—l think the Legislature would consider your
proposition favorably.
The Legislature begins its session the first Man
day in December, whioh you will observe, is the
first day of the month, and your proposition should
be here by that time.
I address you this letter, at your request, by the
name you bear in Canada, Respectfully,
John J. Me Rea.
Richard M. House, Simcoe, Norfolk ooimty, Cana
da West.
No reply has been received from him, and tho
Governor submits the facts to the Legislature.
What a forcible commentary are those fourteen
years of exile and m ntat suffering, upon the truth
of the adage, that—“ Honesty is the beet policy.”
Redpath’s Sentence —The conclusion of the
great Northern Railway fraud case in England, and
the conviction ofßedpatb, the principal criminal,
with his sentence to transportation for life, although
a thing to be expected, still involves reflective
whioh might be profitable in this country where for
gery and defalcation are almost national vices, so
frequent have they beoonie of late years. Itedpath
had been givlty of a crime of a most serious nature.
He had forged not less than twenty deeds, which is
Justice W tiles remarked, was an offence of a most
serious character, considering that people’s proper
ty and livelihood depend in so many instances upon
the validity of instruments of that description. He
had also, in the course of his forgeries or frauds,
led into situations of gnilt, or of strong suspicion,
other persons. And it was finally made apparent
that Kedpath must have carried on forgery and
speculation to a vast extent which had not been
made directly manifest, since it was announced that
forty or fifty thousand pounds had been realized
from his property, more than sufficient to pay his
ailegbd defalcation. Against all these crimes,
against all these aberrations of an unprincipled
mind, we have the s -r.tence—the most terrible of all
punishments known to modern civilization— trans
portat’on for life—a sentence far outweighing in
terror that of death.
And it should be remembered that suchasentence
in England is seriously earnest. There is no likeli
hood that in two or three years Redpath's friends or
money wili outaiu for him a pardon from some facile
governor, or even that the severity of his ptintsl.-
mentwill b.- in a great degree alleviated, lie his

Corruption in Cosokess —The Boston Journal
seems to think that tire House or R presentatives
might take a more direct way of getting at corrup
tion if there be any in its body there by making a
great ado over a poor new spaper reporter, and
gives the following suggestions in support of that
opinion:
“A gentleman who was long a member of Con
gress, and whose veracity is unimpeachable, inare
cent conversation on the progress of corruption at
Waslrngton, informed us that he was tola by one
ofthe New Yolk members of Congress, that it cost
Mr. Collins sso,UoUfor every visit he made to Wash
ington, and that he was further told that one mem
ber (his informant pointing oyer at the same time
to the seat where he was sitting) had demauded of
Mr. Collins $3,000, failing to receive which he would
oppose his mail oontract. The friends ot -Mr. Collins
had actually to run him ont of Washington to
get him clear of the plunderers by whom he was
surrounded.
“It was the opinion of the gentleman with whom
we conversed, and who knew something from ex
tended observation, that a very large slice of the
money granted by the government to Mr. Collins
and his associates, is absorbed in getting these ap
propriations through Congress. Now, these state
ments were made to us privately. Our informant
fully believed them to be true, but he did not com
municate them to us to be spread before the public,
and iu thus allucing to them wii hout his express per
mission, we, should not feel justified in making him
personally responsible. Like Mr. Raymond, sum
moned before a Committee of Congress, we would
refuse to divulge the name of our informant. But
we should suggest away which th- commutes pro
bably would not care to take' by which the accura
cy of the statements could be verified and that is by
summoning Mr. Coilins to give m bis testimony.—
He 'could a tale unfold’ which would throw more
light on this subject of Congressional corruption than
a dozen editors could do from information received
through indirect sources.”
Exactly A gentleman who never was a member
of Congress, but who was connected with the Collins
Co., as stockholder, and was thoroughly acquainted
with all the ropes, told us that it eoet the Company
$4 50.0(H) to secure the eppropriation referred to by
the Journal: that most of the members who voted
sos the appropriation were bribed, or bought, or
■ compensated, or influenced, or whatever term may
be applied to the operation of securing votes by
purchase. The facts were communicated to ui with
out any injunction as to secrecy, but we would not
feel at liberty U> divulge the name of the author
without his consent. We will say this much, how
ever, that if we should name the gentleman in the
Gazette, very few men in or out ot Congress would
dcubt the statement. But Mr. Collins knows all
about it. and we say with the .Journal, that if the
Investigating Committee is iu earnest, it will send
for Mr. Collins. —Cincinnati Gazette.
THe London Chronicle states that the importation
of raw wool from Great Britain to the United St res
j increased in 1856 from ninety-tour to ninety-nine
■ millions of pounds, and remarks :
“ The most ex,raordinary feature in connection
j with our wool trade :• its extension in the United
• States, despite the hostile and almost prohibitory
i tariff which has been there formed for the purple of
excluding foreign woolen manufactures, and of pro-
I tecting that branch of native trade. Thirty per
! cent on the value of English, and we may add Ger
; man. woolen goods, not suffice toexc ude them
from the American markets, or prevent their under
[ selling the home manufactures of the United States,
i Probab y the time witi soon arrive wuen the Ameri
can people, influenced by that enlightenment of
which they boast eo much, will perceive the folly of
taxing themselves to ihe amount o* several millions
of donara per annum, in the shape of bigi. prioed

branch of native manutacture which is unable to
compete with the foreigner.”

Albany, Fc-b 9.—A tremendous flood occurred
l here last night in consequence of the recent thaw,
caueirg an immense amount of damage to propertv
The loss is estimated at $2,000,000.
The city during the night has been th© scene of
the utmost confusion owing to the combined evils
of fire aqd flood, a fire Laving broken out whilst the
flood wa3 at its height.
Laborers have been working all night in remov
ing goods from the first to the second floors of the
stores in the iowe .• part of the city, where it was
thought they would be safe but at J 1 o’clock the
water began rising rapidly and th# workmen had to
desist aua run for safety.
The water continued rising till 4 o’clock this morn
ing. when it reached a poiat three fe©t higher than
#v#r betore known, flooding the whole lower por
tion ot the city as high up as Green street. Tueiow
er parts of Herk.mer and Hudson (parallel streets)
are submerged to the first story, and Broadway is
flooded from the Exchange to the Delavan House.
The stored and cellars on he westsideare filled with
water, aud ail the streets between Broadway and
river are navigable by boats. A large number of
cattle were drowned.
At 3 o'clock the fire bells were souuded in differ
ent parts of the city, adding to the terrors of the
scene. Warren &. Bous* buildings on Broadway,
and Messrs. Gibson & Dalton’s plaining mills and
Burnett 8 warehouse ou the pier, all being in flames

quantity of lime. to the height qf the water
.t was impossible to get Ui© engines to the fire aud
therefore the firemen proceeded in boats with buck
ets aud succeeded in oonfluiug the Jlaiu*-s to the
buildings iu which the fire originated. The glare of
the conflagration upon the rushing waters of sh-i riv
er and rhe devastating flood iu the oity rendered th©
scene one not soon io be forgotten.
The steam propeller West m World caught fire
from the lurnmg warehouse aud burnt until sh#
sank.
It is rumored that several lives have been lost.
Twelve canal bouts, three barges und two steam
tugs have b©en sunk.
The canal Warehouses on th© piers are stov©
in, aud th# flood is making a br©a©u through
the in.
Four hundred oattle in East Albany hav© been
drowned ; also many horses stabled ui the lower
part oi the ciry.
ihrey wreck©*! houses passed dowu the river this
morning from some point *bov# the city. Two men
were seen upon tn© roof of one.
Tue Hudson river Railroad is submerged, and the
Central Railroad is iu the same condition. The
trains are lauding their passengoi-s oa the outskirts
of the city.
No iraim have left here to-day.
At noon th© water wag again rising.
A public meeting nas bes.i called lor the relief of
the s ufferers.
The rtr«»;ta arc iu the greatest excitemant. Seve
ral alarms were sounded again at noon.
The lauiuses rescued from the ii »odcd districts are

Th# water ia still r ising as this despatch is sent
off.
The lumber districts are all oveflowed and much
lumber has been swept off.
The city of Troy is nearly oveiflowed and the
bridges in the neighborhood are iu danger. One
briuge from up the River floated down against the
Troy bridge this morning.
The freight Depot at Green Island has been burnt
by slacking lime.
The i rains are all suspended and business is en
tirely stopped.
Harrisburg, Feb. 9.—The flood on the Susque
hanna is tremendous.
The ice moved but gorged four mile 9 below here,
and blocks of ice are now piled up on the Railroad
track ten to fifteen feet high, so that the trains are
suspended both ways.
It is reported that a couple of bridges on the Ju
niata have been swept away witliseveral piers of
the Cumberland Valley bridge.
An awful destruction of property seems to be
threatened along the line of tho Susquehanna.
Trenton, Feb. 9.—A jiart of Vandin’a foundry
has beeu washed awa\. and the water is covering
the streets iu the lower part of the town. The
bridge is safe unless those above should give way
by the pressure ofthe ice. The ice on the Lehigh
is not broken up yet.
Easton, Feb. 9.—The Delaware river at this
Eoint rose 2G feet during yesterday. The ico ia
rokeu and drifting. Belviaere bridge is iu great
danger. The water is five feet above the bridge in
some parts. The Lambertville bridge ia also en
dangered. A house in tho neighborhood has been
washed away. In some places the ico is piled up
twenty feet high.

Further Particulars of tho Freshets.
We hear of considerable damage being done
a!on_- the line of the Gunpowder falls. Among the
establishments that have suffered is the rolling mill
and nail factory of Messrs. Patterson &. Sons One
fourth of the dam belonging to it, and the bridge,
three hundred feet in length, swept away on Satur
day with a large quantity of stock. The loss
is not known, but it is very heavy.
The dam of the furnace of Robert Howard, Esq.,
near the above, wus also carried off, and much other
damage done.
We learn that dam No. 5, near Hancock, on the
Che- apeake and Ohio Canal has been washed away
b\ the flood. Some statements are that two-thirds
of the dams are destroyed; other accounts are that
the entire dam haa been swept away. The conse
quences of this loss are truly disastrous to the com
pany. The dam, It is estimated, cannot be rebuilt
under six or twelve months time, and the busiuess
of the canal must be in a great measure suspended
until it is reconstructed
We learn from the Hagerstown (Md ) Chronicle
that there is a great rise in the Antietam Creek, by
which every mill on the stream has been damaged.
The Chronicle says :
The river at Williamsport commenced rising m
Saturday night, and on Sunday evening had reach
ed high water mark. It is filied with large pieces of
floating ice, which go crashing down with a warning
sound to alliu front.
The Boons boro’ Odd Fellow say 3 :
It is feared the dam at Newcomer’s mill, near
Sharpsburg, haa also been carried away. From
every direction around us we hear of the water be
ing very high, washing away fences, &c. A part
of the bridge and the entire dam at Antietam iron
works were swept away The Antietam was uever
before known to be so high, and we presume we
shall hear of still further damages. The Potomac
has not risen so high as was expected, and no dam
age of any moment has beeu done, so fur as we have
yet learned.
In York county, Pa., much damage was done by
the ice giving way ou the Codorus. Tho York Ga*
zette of yesterday says :
The stream rose ou Sunday from five to six feet
in the course of a few hours, and owing to the ice
again extending from Loucks’ dam to ihe Chicken
bridge, a distance of half a mile, the natural current
was entirely changed, passing through the meadows
on the north side, sweeping in its course, fences,
tie#*, carts, wagons, aud, in short, everything be
fore It.
Tiit-re has also been some damage done at Lan
caster. The Intelligencer says ;
“ The flood swept away fences, and other proper
ty on the banks of the stream, and oue of the piers 1
at the Old Factory bridge was so much injured as
to make crossing dangerous, rmavely’s bridge was
entirely swept away, and part of the ’flist lock, be
low the lauding, with the lock keeper’s house.
“The ice ai-o commenced moving ou the Susque
hanna, at Columbia, on Monday morning. No dam
age is apprehended.”
The Harrisburg Herald, of yesterday, says the ice
on the Susquehanna opposite that place, broke up
on Sunday night, and adds:
Two piers of the ? ailroad bridge were damaged
to some extent, and for a time It was feared that a
portion of the bridge would give way The bank
of the river was crowded with peop e for neverai
hours yesterday forenoon. No doubi considerable .
damage has been done at various pours on the riv
er above and below this. During the a’temoou a
fresh flv>w of ice came down 'he river, swveping
away the timbers tiia r had been placed around the
damaged piers of the railroad bri ge for protection.
Last evening it was feared the bridge would be
• wept away if the flow off should continue during
the night.
The rise in the Delaware, at Trenton, N. J . took
place on Sunday. The Trenton American, of Mon
day, says:
It continued to rise from three o’clock until about
fifteen minutes before live iu the afternoon at the
rate of three feet per hour, and then the rumbling
noise of discontent and loud threats to shake off the
chains began to be heard for miles up the river.—
The people flocked from all parts of the city to wit
ness the grand exodus of monstrous cakes of ice and
enow which tilled the Delaware.
At half past four a mighty crash was heard, and ia
a moment, as if by magic, there were heaved up, to
the height of fifteen or twenty feet on the “gravel,”
and near the bridge, huge and- massive cakes es
ice, said by the oldest inhabitants to be the largest
they ever saw.
But still the monarch held his captives, as if loth
to surrender his reign. Loud and deep muttering
continued, and at ten miuutes before five there was
a crash—a shout went up from the hundreds on the
bridge and on either bank, and away went the
whole mass, moving with gigantic power towards
the bridge. Here it was broken into pieces by the
admirable piers of the Delaware bridge. The sight
was majestic. The cakes of ice would sometimes
tower up fifteen feet, as though determined to oust
the piers, which fora half century have bid defiance
to every power that has attempted to test their
strength. The scene continued to delight hundreds
until the darkness closed upc n it.
After night the water rose at a fearful rate. At
11 o’clock it rose 2£ inches in 10 minutes, and was
seven feet higher than in 1841. The greater
portion of the city was overflowed In Ferry street
occupants of houses were rescued in boats and land
ed at the Jenny Lind Hotel. Fair, Warree, Wash
ington and other streets were all overflowed, cellars
filled, and several frame houses swept off. The dam
age is very heavy.
At Philadelphia there wap a great rise in the Del
awa e. but no serious damage done. The railroad
trains for New York, however, were detained on
Monday on account of the track being flooded at
Bordentown. The Baltimore and Reading roads
were not affected.
A dispatch dated Oavrego, N. Y., February 9th
BaVB: —
The ice in the river above this place btoke up yes
terday morning, and coming down with great force
tore six schrs. from their moorings, and carried them
into the lake, besides doing much damage to others
laying in tbe harbor. Beveral canal boats are also
loase in the lake. Bmall boats, well manned and
Erovisioned, started yesterday in search of them, but
ave not since been heard from.
The Erie Railroad is under water in pert. No
tnrough passenger trains go throogh. The first train
that went out was telegraphed to come back.
The Harlem Railroad is aiso obstructed, and all
commuication with Albany is thus suspended.
There are rumors of several bridges being carried
away.
The flood is terrible in the Mohawk and Is bring
ing all its ice into the Hudson. Over 209 feet of
trestle work of the railroad bridge south side of the
city of Hudson is carried away.
Havre de Grace, Md., Feb. 10.—The Susque
hanna river at this point presents this morning a
majestic ut destructive spectacle
The ice commenced moving about five o'cioex. A.
M at first slow and steady, then rapid and fearful,
and in a short time Immense bodies of ice could be
seen passing down with great force and fearful
violence carrying with them innumerable quanti
ties of timber, houses, &c.
A large portion of the Port Deposit bridge pawed
down this morning, showing that above this plaoe
great damage has been done.
Silvers’ fishing battery and fixtures, worth $1,500,
together with tbe large sounding float belonging to
the railroad company, with numerous boat-, and an
immense quantity ot lumber, have also been swept
away
There is but little prospect of »he mail being
brought across the river today. The 11 o’clock
train from Baltimore has returned to that city,
There is no doubt great destruction of property at
Port Deposit Last evening it was reported that
families were moving from the lower streets of that
town.
Some damage may be done here also should the
loe gorge at this point or below.
SISOO Down the Wind!— Last evening, just be
fore the 7 o’clock Eastern train left our depot, a
gentleman, who bad arrived on the s>t Charles,
to* k out bis money belt at the ticket office and pur
chased a ticket. He then put his pocket-book in
hi* pantaloons pocket; and as he stepped into the
train, he teit for it, to replace it in his belt. It teas
gone l The loser did nut go, but McGibony went
on the train to watoh out for the thief. We bare

by which the march of this storm could be traced.
The precise moment of the commencement, how
ever. was not vary well marked ; for there was a
light fall of snow, which, afrer an hour or two, in
creased into a very heavy fall. Hence observers at
the same place are sometimes found differing an hour

"ludUatiou* of snow, very coid, aud thermometer at zero.
Prom Bertie county. North Carolina, to Wash
ingtou the course of ihe storm was due north, and
the time three or four hours. From Washington to
New York it was about fourteen bout's on the
match, with a furious gale right in its teeth ; thence
to Boston, it flew at railway speed, making the dis
Lance iu six hours ; and theuoe it arrived at Port
land, Maine, at 11 P. M., of the IBlb ; thus making
its march in the “wind’s eye" from North Carolina
to Maine in about 26 hours.
The cold, the wiud, and the fall of snow, all of
which were marked bv violence, appear each to
have had its owu rate 01 inarch.
How far this storm may have been felt out at sea
is not yet known, for there has not been time to
receive reports from the vessels that arc co-opera
ting with us in these investigations. It is known,
however, that the storm extended as far as Nova
Scotia.
The fury of this storm has been unequalled for
many years. Never since the establishment of rail
roads has there been such au interruption of travel
or hiuderance to the mails. It illostiates in a very
striking manner the necessity—if we wish thorough
ly to investigate the 1 ws which govern the move
meute of the great a rial ooeau in which we live—of
extending our meteorological researches from the
sea to the land. What though this storm may
have had its origin on the land, it caused many and
- dreadful shipwrecks along the shore and made disas
ters at sea.
The appliances whioh, in the progress of the ago,
have been placed within the reach of men of sci
ence would, had the power of using them been pos
ses 3ed by these men, have enabled them to give
timely warning of the approach of this storm
to many whose lives such warning would have
saved.
If the system of daily weather reports through the
telegraph which you haveiecommended for the Ob
servatory had been established. New York and our
shipping porta might have had from eighteen to
twenty four hours' warning in advance of this
stor.’n; the industrial pursuits of the country and
the convenience of the public, as well as the ship
ping interests, might all have had the benefit of such
tore knowledge; for the telegraph, the press, and the
mails, in a c<mntry like this, can outstrip the wind,
and spread the news of the coming gale faster than
it can fly.
Are you aware that at this season of the year
Exciting Scenes at Wheelino.— At 2 o’clock
ou Thursday, the ice in the Ohio at Wheeling, Va.,
commenced breaking up from the mouth of the
creek to the fuotof the Island. The wharves were
immediately crowded with people to witness the
general breaking up. The Argus says:
The next movement occurred soon afterward, and
embraced the field from the bridge to the ship-yard;
taking with it one of the lumber barges of Kiddie
& Co., of Pittsburg, containing 124,UUU feet of dry
lumber, worth in all about S<iU,()OU. No damage
was caused to any of the boats, and the ice gorged
below the mouth of the creek, packing up the wa
ter to a depth of llj feet, and crushing in the sides
of the lumber barge which immediately sunk as far i
as its lading would permit. Another movement
soon afterwards deposited the barge at the lower
eud of the Island, where repeated efforts failed to
secui e it, and it lodged on the bar below.
The ice field from the ship-yard to Martinsvi'le
had in the meanwhile moved to a point near the
Suspension Bridge where it remained until 3P. M,
when it came with a rush, driving the bow of the
“ Done" out of water and for some time caused
some fear for her safety. She again, however, es
caped unharmed. Ihe lowermost boat, the “Lou
isa,” was driven out high and dry by this field, while
all the other boats remained untouched.
At half-past 3, the ice, which had gorged below
the island, again moved off, taking with it the lum
ber barge, and Bor 9 men who had gotten aboard
with a hope of securing her and obtaining salvage.
When last heard from, they were 4 miles below the
city, surrounded by the grinding, crushing masses
of ice. At dusk, the ice continued to h »ld fast at
Martinsvi.le, where people were crossing upon it,-
From the “Sisters'* down, there were many cracks
and fissures in the it*#, and every indication of epsedy
further movements.
Shocking and My.iTkkious Murder—One of
the most horrid and brutal murders which we hav?
ever had occaa ou to record was perpetrated in this
city night before lust. The victim was a man nam
ed Henry Straub, a German, who k-eps a liquor
store on Atwater eirce*, betweeu St Antoine and
Hast ings street?. He was found yesterday morn
ing about 8 o’clock, by on©of his neighbors, lying
behind his c uuter in the back room, in a pool of
blood, and lifeless. A large gush was ns his scalp
on the back of his head, and bia throat cut. A tum
bler wus standing on the fl or under the fauce’ of n
beer barrel, and a caudle also ou the floor near it,
which vvouid in iicate that he had received the blow
on ti e back of the hea* while in the act or stooping
over to draw a glass of beer The money drawer
iu fie Counter, near where he lay, wan open, with
iiiaiksof blood upon if, aud the money gone. Au
old pocket-b"' k was lying on the floor, and near it
•cme papeis of little or no value. A watob in one
of his pockets was uot taken, an I a tumbler contain
ing three or four dollais in silver, standing on th«
belf, was not disturbed. Juitice Lane was noti
fied, who summ- ned a jury, and, together with Dr.
Davenport, held an inquest ou the body. The
blow on the back of the head was found to have
produced a fracture of the skull, come three inches
long, sufficient of itself to have caused death. It
might have been made with a heavy club, a “handy
billy,’* or a hammer. There were three stabs or
gashes in the throat, one of which, a gash some two
inches long, severed the windpipe. Another gash,
not so large, also severed the windpipe, and the
third was a deep incioion in the neck £ ther one
of the blows or cuts was s fficient to produce death.
Dr. D., after a careful survey of the wounds was
of the opinion that his murderer came into the room
and called for a glass of beer, and that while in the
act of stooping to draw it, the blow on the back
part of the head was inflicted, which felled him, and
then to make sur- work, his throat was cut. Dr D.
thinks a dirk knife was used iu the operation.
Straub was a rngle uian, apparently about twenty
eight or thirty years of age, and had occupied the
place since last Spring, selling liquors on commission,
lie usually kept a stock of the value ot $5 000 to $6,-
000. There is as yet no clue to the perpetrators of this
most bloody butchery, but every possible means
will, of course, be taken to ferret the matter out.
The purpose of it might have been robbery, as it is
said that a da\ or two erne© he was known to have
SSOO in gold upon his person, and those who knew
him well say he was in th© nabit of having consid
erable money about him. The probabilities are,
however, that the murder was a contemp'at d and
preconcerted one, for the purpose of wreaking ven
geance for some old grievance. When Straub's
store was first entered yesterday morning, the
blinds were down and ’he door unlocked, the place
evidently not having been shut up the night pre
vious . so that the murder must have been commit
ted before bed time, but whs done without in the
least disturbing or arousing the neighbors.— Detroit
Advertiser, Jan. 31.
A New Excitemet in Prospect— Burning the
D^ad —An eminent New York physician has, ac
cording to the Buffalo Republic, written an elaborate
work in favor of the practice of burning the dead,
which is to be publish* d after hia own death.
By his will, he directs hia mortal remains to be
kept for five days in a warm room; the thorax then
to be opened, and the heart extracted, which is to
be embalmed and enclosed in a thick vellum bag,
B*rongy impregnated with asphaitum; the remainder
of his body is then to be publicly burnt on a pyre of
sassafras or sandal wood, in one of the public
cemeteries, —the ashes carefully gathered and de
posited with the embalmed heart in a bronze urn.
Five copies of the leading daily city papers, con
taining an acounnt of the whole proceeding, are like
wise directed to be deposited in the urn, which is
then to be he metically sealed, and taken to the New
York Museum.
In the midst of the excitement created by these
proceedings, tfie works to be published For its
circulation SIO,OOO are appropriated, SIO,OOO more
for distribution among the city * fficials and leading
politicians of all parties, who are to receive from
s2s*o SIOO each for assisting in the ceremony ; and
SIO,OOO more for the editorial fraternity, to be divi
ded pro rata according to'their influence.
Should anything occur to prevent the due execu
tion of the will, the bulk of his property is to beat
once transferred 'to a charitable institution in Puii
adelphia.
The Republic has these facts from the attorney
who drew up the will. He estimates the property
at $200,000. v * *
The Dai.Lai att. —The treaty with England,
negotiated bv Mr. Dallas, according to the the so
counts from Washington is not likely to receive con
firmation by the Senate. It was debated in Execu
tive session on Wednesday and then r committed
to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, with the ulti
mate hope of procuring such alterations as might
make it acceptable to the majority of the Chamber
No such reeulr, however, is expected, and the ar
i angement is considered defeated.— Balt. Amer.
The Rock Island Bridge. —At a recent public
meeting in St. Louis a committee of business men
was appointed to investigate the nature of the ob
struction to navigation presented by the R ck Is
land bridge. Tns committee employed a compe
tent engineer, and they together visited the struc
ture, examined it thoroughly, and hail diagrams
made, showing the line c f the channel, the position*
of steamboat* descending :he river, dep “ , water,

however, as returns have been reoeiv-d, the fall 0 f
snow, with a furious north wind, appears to have
commenced simultaneously in Virginia and North Ca

into Nova Scotia, if not further.

the average number of shipwrecks is ab >ut one
American vessel for every eight hours, and that
the total value of the losses at sea for the mouth of
January. I, set down at something like lour millions
of dollars ?
How many of those losses would have been spar
fd the country could a few hours’ warning been
given of this storm alone, to say nothing of others ?
It is quite practicable to give such warning. The
Magnetic Telegraph offers us the medium and the
“Associated Press’* the channel fordoing it. By
extending to the laud the system of meteorological
reseach which is carried on at sea, and by establish
ing a plau for receiving daily by Telegraph and dis
cussing promptly n series of weather reports from
all parts of the country, warning might be given
as well to the husbandman as to the mariner, of the
approach of almost every general storm, while yet
it was a great way off.
The Government has wisely sought to mitigate the
disasters of shipwreck, and money has been humane
|y appropriated lor the purpose ; but. notwithstand
ing these efforts, great suffering has been encoun
tered, as in the case of the ship New York, last De
cember, after the crew and passengers had been
rescued rum the wreck.
Bo h the Long Island and Jersey shores are cur
tained for many miles by a narrow slip of laqd, which
is separated Irom the main by a sound or strip of wa
ter from one to several miles in breadth. There are
very few houses on this strip of land, and it sometimes
happens that ships are driven ashore, as in the case
ot the New York, and that the people on the main
cannot cross over the sound, by reason of the ice
and cold, to the scene of disaster. It has been sug
gested by Mr. W. F. Brown, a Senator in the New
Jersey Legislature from Ocean county,that if a low
hours’ w ruing of these storms Could be given,by
telegraph, a force in advance of every storm might
be collected ou this narrow strip of land ready to
afford succor at once aud au soon as a vessel should
tiud herself ashore.
I propose, with your leave, when all the answers
to the oall for the statistics of this storm shall have
been received, to go into a regular discussion of it,
and to illustrate its march and progress by plans
and drawings. Respectfully, &e„
M. F. Maury,

Hon. Oeo. W. Evans, Mayor of Augusta /
Dear Sir:—Yours of this date, with report of
the action oi the Committee appointed by Count il
to consider the subject of permitting the South Ca
rolina Railroad Company aud the Georgia Railroad
Company to connect their tracks in the city, and
the terms on which such connection may be formed,
was duly received.
I regret extremely Lhat the consideration, fixed by
the Committee (say ten thousand dollars annually,)
is greater than it will be the interest of our Com
pany to pay. The expense of perfecting the change,
the building of additional track, Depots, dto., the
probable purchase of private property considered,
the reducti >n of expense would be small, but to
enable our Road and the Georgia Railroad Compa
ny to compete with other lines of Railroad and
Steamers on the Ohio river for distant freights, in
which your city is deeply interested.
I would propose, subject *o the ratification of the
Board of Directors of our Company, to pay the city
annually six thousand dollars for the privilege of
such connection of Roads, the details being satis
factorily arranged. Very respectfully,

Bix Thousand Dollars for the privilege of such con
nection of Roads, the details being satifaclorily ar
ranged.” In reply, I beg leave to state that there
being such a disagreement between yourself and
the Committee of Council, respecting the value of
the proposed connection of Roads, as to render it al
together improbable that an arrangement can be
made between yourself and the Committee. A
meeting of Council has therefore been called for 3

make their report, aud the Council take definite ac

Mr. Snead then offered the following Report and
Resolution which passed unanimously :
The Committee which has had in charge thesub
j ect of a junction of the Railroads in the city, and
not having been able to report an agreement with
the President of the South Carolina Railroad on
such terms for the accomplishment of the object
contemplated, as is considered to be advantageous
to Augusta and its citizens ; therefore,
Resolved. That the Committee be discharged
from the furihcr consideration of the 'ubject, and
that the correspondence on the subject be pub

entitled to a tract of land, belonging to the deceased

valuable cotton plantation in Baker county) fur the

wife objects to the sale, and such sale would have
the effect to defeat the inchoate right of dower of the
said wife in the premises Judgment reversed

Ravenous Wolves —We find the following fu
the Keokuk (Iowa; Post, of the 25th ult i We
learn from a gentleman who arrived in our city yes
terday, from Sioux city, 11 at the wolves in the ri
ver counties have been driven to such straits by
the snow and cold weather, that they Imvt* become
so ravenous as to destr y houses and cattle to a
considerate extent, and that they have often attack
ed persons. On the evening «*t the sth lust., a son
ana daughter of Mr. Stockdale, left their residence,
on a fork of the Little Sioux river, in Woodbury
to attend a party at a neighb ra, about two miles
distant, and have not ainc« been heard of On the
morning of the 6th, the bereaved parents sent to
Southon for assistance, and searched the neighbor
hood around them, and as no traces of the loss
ones had been found the con< lusion is that they bad
been attacked by the wolve* and devoured. A gentle
man from Wisconsin, who visited lowa lately, states
in a private letter, received iu t is city, that be wm
chased tor miles by thefts ravenous creatures, and
barely escaped with his life. He dc*oribed tnem as
frightfully leroscious, being apparently almost starv
ed to death.
The Dallas and Clarendon Treaty.--,A
Washington letter suys: Tie opposition to;/•’ e Ceo*
tral American trea f y, negotiated between Lord Cla
rendon and Mr. Dallas is chiefly directed toon#
point—the large boundaries which Clreut Britain
or rather Lord Palmer* ton, has here ton.re claimed
for the Mosquito Kingdom and which may be claim
ed again, under the pn sent treaty,, as the Senator*
understand it These boundaries are lobe settled
and defined under the treaty, iu such manner as to
leave the Indians, as long as they remain on the
soil a suitable home. The treaty, ii carried out, in
good faith, would not secure to thum an unreason
able extent of territory. Bat it is objected that this
matter is left indefinite, and may bee one a eource
as difficulty hereaft r. On the part of a largo ma
jority of the Senate, there exist* a sincere desire to
settle this Central Amencan quo* tfOu on reasonable
terms and such terms as will have no ground for fu
ture dispute between the Dulled .Stales and the go
vernment ol Great Britain.' T»e S nate will pro
bably remodedthe treaty, as they have done in oth
er case*. The Gadsden treaty, for instance, was re
modelled by the Sena e, and woerahtied in the torm
thus given to it by the Senate. Perhaps the earno
result may be attained iu this case.
