The Ice Hoad over Hie Susqehunira.
Strange and startling things occur so fre
quently in these limes of quick developments,
that they need to be clothed with circumstan
ces of great novelty lo attract to them any
degree of public attention ; and we are so ac
customed to have any public want promptly
supplied, and any sudden emergency provi
ded for. especially by tnose whose business ii
is to serve the people, that we are apt to at
tach slight importance to the particular tiling
clone, and hardly pause to give deserved cred
it to it. We could not avoid thinking that
these facts were specially” verified by an in
teresting and curious scene we witnessed a
day or two since, upon tbe Susquehanna at
Havre de Grace.
This river, which has always presented in
tiie winter season a serious obstacle to the un
interrupted communication between this arui
tiie liastern cities, hy tiie masses of ice which
makes its passage dangerous and tedious, has.
by the unusual severity of this season, been
completely hlo. ked up with ice, until almost
from its sources to the Ptomac, it presents
the appearance of a miniature ’‘rner de glace.”
About two weeks since, between Havre dc
Grace and the opposite shore, there stretched
a field of huge blocks of ice. piled upon each
other to a height ol from six to ten feet, and
it became a serious question to determine how
it would be possible lo transportjhe immense
quantities ot merchandise seeking transit over
the Philadelphia and Baltimore railroad.
The boat oi the Company was, of course,
useless, and while it was easy enough for the
passengers to pick tiieir way over the rough
blocks ot ice, it was a matter taxing both in
genuity and boldness to devise a plan lor the
transportation of merchandize. The suspen
sion olYhis part of the business of the Com
pany, for a lew weeks even, would have pres |
sed with lire most serious inconvenience anu
injury upon tiie business community, for it
must be recollected that, at this season of the
year, this road presents the only line of means
tor *he inland transportation offreight between
the East and Souiii —the steamboat line be
ing, of course, closed up, and the increased
distance and higher rates of charge via Phil
adelphia and the Baltimore and Susquehan
na Railroad precluding tiie use to any extent
of that route. In this emergency, an idea as
novel as it was bold, occurrtd to Major Trim
ble, who, we believe, holes the position of Gen
eral Superintendent of the Philadelphia and
Bal i.noro Road,audhe resolved to construct a
railroad across the river, a feat reflecting the
highest credit upon him as an accomplished
Engineer, and attempted, we venture to as
sert. lor the first time in the history of travel.
The idea was carried into eti'ecl with singu
lar rapidity. Employing a large force. Air.
Trimble levelled a route across ihe river, cut
ting down the blocks of ice, lilting cavities
with snow, and in u single day I lie regular
framework ol a railroad was laid down, and
four thousand feet oi iron stretched from shore
to shore, and over this track the heavy cars,
with their stores of merchandize, were whirled
in tiieir course ot'transit before the inconven
ience of tins serious obstacle to transporiation
was realized.
To the hundred who daily witness the per
fect success ot this plan it seems in its facile
accomplishment, a simple, though curious af
fair; lint it is really worth while to pause for
a moment to tiie justice of commendation to
the gentleman who conceived and executed
the ivlea, and who, conscious ot the responsi
bility which its practical working devolves
upon him, watches with an unceasing and
sleepless vigilance over it.
The strength of tire ice appears to be very
great, and its average thickness Irom shore to
shore is about titleen lect. It is not of course
frozen in one soliu mass of that thickness, but
the flouring ice us it came down the river for
some weeks belore the complete obstruction
occurred, grounded ou some shoals about a
quarter ol a mile below Havre dc Grace, and
backing up. gradually formed an immense
mass ot ice of great thickness, stretching for
many miles up the river. Ou Thursday of
VoI.XXIX. No. 46.
Irist week, we learn that some forty cars load
ed with freight, and equal to all to a weight
of some 600 000 Ihs., passed over the ice ; not
all in a single train, but three or four cars to
| getlier. The number being regulated by the
supply of horse power, as well as Irorn unwil

The Dainties op California. —A late
number o. the San Francisco Herald, says :
Our Atlantic brethren, generally ignorant of
the stale ol tidings on this side ot the continent
would seem from the invoices of ships to this
port, to believe we cannot supply our tables
without their assistance, anti so they continue
to inundate us with their preserved meats. &c.
The restaurants furnish daily evidences to the
contrary; but it needs a walk through the mar
kets to understand fully the wealth of native
edibles which California possesses—offish
flesh. fowls and vegitables. Tbs variety’
great size and singular delicacy of the latter
have already elicited much praise and it is
said they cannot he surpassed.
At this season tlie gun ol the fowler plavs
immense havoc among the clouds of geese
and vast flocks ol ducks and other wild fowl
which whiten the plains and sail on the sur
face oi the bay ami its tributaries. The bear
elk. deer and antelope contribute their fat
haunches, and the native cattle and sheep, fat
tened on the wild oats and tender young
grapes, pay their tribute likewise to the pal
ate of the epicure in spicy joints and tender
steaks. Many varieties ot the finny tribe
have since t ’te occupations of the country by
Americans, been discovered and brought into
favorable notice.
Anecdote of the Revolution.—Col.Wil
liam W illiams, a delegate in Congress from
Conn -client, after having signed the Declara
tion ol Independence, said to one of his com
panions; “ll we are defeated in our struggle
for indepettence. this day's work will make
bad work lor me. 1 have held a commission
in the rebel army; I have written for the reb
el newspapers ; 1 am the son-in-law of a rebel
Governor, and now I have affiixed my name
to this rebel declaration. My sins are. there
fore too great to be pardoned by our royal
master: I then must he hanged.” The other
gentleman answered:—“l believe that my
case is not so desperate, for 1 had no connex
ion with the army; nor can it be proved
that heretofore I have written or done any
thing obnoxious to the mother country.” The
immediate and prompt reply was: ‘-Then,
sir. you deserve to be hanged 1”
A Self-Loading Gun. — Resolutions have
been unanimously adopted by the Legisla
ture ol Tennessee, recommending the Gover
nor to call upon the Department at Washing
ton for such a number ol Porter’s self-loading
and sell-priming rides as the Slate may be
entitled to under existing laws for the distri
bution of arms amongst the States. The
commute which reported the resolution stated
the rille could he fired forty times a minute,
i* simple in its construction, not liable to ac
cident. and in battle would he the most de
structive fire-arm ever used, while at the
same time it must have a powerful influence
in preserving the peace of nations. Here is
a chance to procure “material aid” for Huu
gary.
The Three Cent Pieces. —E. C. Dale,
treasurer of the United States Mint, contra
dicts the statement that the coinage of three
cent pieces had suspended, or was delayed in
consequence ol a detect iiclhc law of Congress
oti the subject. The Mint has already issued

supply all demands lor them in sums ot S3O.
