We have full confidence that the important du ties of his mission will be discharged with honor to himself and advantage to the country. Cold Weather at the North. The weather philosophers in New York and vicinity, decided that Monday, the 10th instant, was the coldest day experienced in that region for seventy years. In the city, during the day, ’ho mercury frequently stood five degrees below ro. On Brooklyn Heights it feel to sixteen below. A horse left at the door of a house in Brooklyn, while the driver went in to warm himself, was found dead from cold on his return. One omnibus driver was frozen to death. The Boston steamers have censed running on account of ice obstructions in Long Island Sound. The ten, and the District of Columbia two hundred and three. In tlio abovo list we have confined the figures to clerks in the Departments, but if wc were to include messengers, laborers, and other persons, the proportion would be still greater in favor of the Eastern, Middle, and Maryland, District of Columbia and Virginia, over the Southern States. The Report also contains the amount in Dol lars of Government Department patronage be stowed on each State, from which it appears that the six Eastern States, having twenty-nine members of Congress, receive of the Govern ment patronage $127,400 The four Middle States four members, receive....

Georgia has less Government patronage in the Departments according to population, than any State in the Union. There arc twelvo appointees from Georgia in the Departments receiving in the aggregate an nually sixteen thousand eight hundred dollars. If the patronage were distributed as recom mended in the Rejiort of Mr. Smith, according to each States representation, Georgia would be entitled to forty appointments and receive over fifty three thousand dollars annually. Wc do not see why Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania should be the special favorites of Government, and enjoy to so huge an extent its bounty.
