Elections To-night.
This evening the sad rites are to be performed
at the City Hall, over the remains of Hope, it
will be theoccasion for heavy moans, while “curses,
long and loud and deep,” will be felt and vented.
Mem who have “worked hard” in the political
shambles—who have trimmed their sails to catch
the passing breeze—men who are worthy and men
who are unworthy to hold office, have to pass
through the same fiery ordeal to-night. The de
feated ones will be the most numerous parl v, end
cannot object to be in the majority.
There are a large number “ who are anxious to
•erve their country ” on this occasion, and - it is
highly commendable in them to be so. They vol
untarily quit the quiet walks of life, the delights
incident to attending to their own business in their
own way, and otter their services to their country.
Nothing but sound American patriotism influences
them, and we should not be at all surprised, as
they have such a warm reverence for Washington,
that they will nobly serve their country without
fee or reward.
If the members of Council refuse to allow the
candidates to see how the voting is done, there
may be some “Jockeying in the riding.” Candi
dates should be on the spot—in the “Star Cham
ber,” among the voters. They should see closely
to this matter—if not, they may be defeated, aud
they can only blame themselves. We have done a
journalist’s duty in advising them to see that none
of the voters are imposed upon by wrong tickets.
County .Election*.
lii Cass the whole Anti-ticket elected by a large
majority, with the exception of Tax Receiver.
In Floyd, Whitfield, and in every other Chero
kee county, excepting Catoosa, have gone for th<
Antis.
In Spalding, Pike, and Butts counties, the An
des have elected their men. In Sumter the Know-
Nothings elected all except the Sheriff.
Amusements in the Snow.
it is doubtless very amusing to engage in ‘•snow
balling,” and burlesque sleigh-riding, but few con
sider that our climate is unsuited to such exercises.
In more Northern latitudes, where the temperature
of the weather is regular, the risk or damage is not
*o great. But here, we fear that the excitement
and exposure will, in many cases, prove an unfor
tunate investment. It is rather easy to gel sick
but not always so easy to get well.
The Mails.
We received no papers yesterday evening beyond
Charleston. There will be ten northern mails doe
this morning.
The Alarm of Fire.
As the snow storm commenced yesterday, the
bell commenced the alarm for fire. At the resi
dence of Mr. James Clark on Greene street, a fire
broke out in his clothes closset, which consumed
and injured its contents, but did not extend fur
ther.
Georgia Legislature.
Both branches of the General Assembly meet
again in Milledgeville on Monday next.
Savannah Trains.
The Mail on Thursday- night, did not reach Au
gusta until after midnight; and last night the train
was delayed, we presume, by the snow and storm.
The A flairs of Kansas.
We publish the letter of the lion. D. 15. Atchi
son-, of Missouri, addressed to Maj. Steele, of the
Atlanta Examiner, in relation to Kansas affairs.
We ask forit a careful reading, and then desire to
know if something timely and practical should
not be done to aid our friends in Kansas.
The War of the Professors.
We publish, this morning, the reply of Dr. Le
conte to Dr. Church.
A. T. Head announces in the Empire State, that
from among the Know Nothings “he is out, and
considers himself once more a free man.”
Georgia Legislature.
The following is the bill introduced by Colonel
Lawton, of Chatham, for reducing the number of
Senators, fixing the time of meeting and limiting
the length of the sessions of the Legislature:
A Bill.
To be enlitied an act to alter and amend the third,
fourth and twelfth sections of the first article of
the Constitution of this State.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives of the State of Georgia, in General
Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the au
thority of the same. That so soon as this bill
shall nave passed the General Assembly in accord
ance with the requirements of the Constitution, the
following sections shall be adopted in lieu of the
third, fourth and twelfth sections of the Constitu
tion of this State, to-wit:
Section 3d. The Senate shall consist of ft, <
members, and it shall be the duty of the Legisla
ture at the session when this shall be adopted, to
divide the State info twenty Senatorial districts,
which districts shall be composed of contiguous
counties, and as nearly equal as may be in popula
tion, counting all free white persons and tlu-ee
fifths of the people of color; and at the ses-ion
next after each future enumeration of the inhabi
tants of this State, made under the Constitution
and laws, and no other time, said districts shall be
so altered as to make them as nearlv equal as may
be agreeable to the last enumeration. But if, after
any such enumeration, any one county shall have
sufficient population to entitle it to 'on* Senator,
such county shall constitute a district; and anoth
er district shall be formed of one or more coun
ties to be entitled to one Senator also, so as to pie
serve the same number of Senators.
AVhen a new -ounry is organized, it shall be at
tached to one of the districts to which the county
or counties from which it is taken • belongs. Each
district shall be entitled wtw-o Senators, (except
when one county constitutes a district, as herein
provided. ! Immediately after the Senators shall
be assembled in consequence of the first election,
they shall be divided by lot into two classes in
each district. The seats of the Senators of the
first class shall be vacated at the expiration of the
second year, and of the second class at the expira
tion of the fourth year; so that one-half, or as near
ly so as may be, shall be elected every second year.
The elections 10 be held bi-enniallv, and oil the
first Monday in October, until the dav of election
shall be changed by law.
Sec. 4th. N o person shall be aSe nator who shall
not have attained the age of twenty-five years and
have been nine years a citizen of the United States
and three years an inhabitant of this State and
shall hare actually resided in the Senatorial’ Dis
trict for which he shall be returned, at least one
year immediately preceding his election— except
persons who may have been absent on lawful busi
ness of this State or of the United States.
See. 12th. The Representatives shall be elected
bi-enniu.il y and on the first Monday in October, un
til the day of election shall be changed by law
The meetings of the General Assembly shall be
annual; ana on the first Monday in November, un
til the day shall be changed by lavr. But no one
Session sfiali continue longer than seven weeks.
A majority of each branch shall be authorized to
proceed to business, but a smaller number may
adjourn from day to day; and compel the atten
dance of their members, 'in ouch mauuer as each
member of the House shall preecribe
Snow.
We have had quite a variety of weather within the
last few weeks. Rain, and sleet, and snow, have
alternated. Yesterday, about noon, when the sur- j
face of the earth was “as stiff as a poker,” the \
fleecy showers of snow commenced their descent.
About two o’clock, it seemed to have got its full
headway, and it fell as only snow can fall. It came
waving, and twisting, big flake and little flake, aud
deposited itself very cozily on the earth for pedes- j
trians to slip over, and on the boxes and in the ;
jams lor little urchins to gather their snow balls.
The homo species are always delighted when
the snow falls, but it is a sad time for beasts and j
birds.
While upon the subject of snow, it may not be
inappropriate to insert the following from Sturm’s
lieJUctions:
“Snow is a species of hoaT-frost; it differs, how
ever, in this particular, that the hoar-frost falls in
the form of dew, upon the surface of certain cold
bodies which attract its moisture, and to which it
adheres; whilst the snow, before it falls, is already
forrned in the upper region of the atmosphere by
congealed vapors, which observe the same laws in
falling as fogs, dew and rain. The air is often very
cold, and this may be increased to a considerable
degree by the density of the atmosphere, and the ;
accession of acid vapors. It is then very easy to
understand how the aqueous particles become con
: gealed. What, perhaps, contributes the most to
give this freezing property to the air are the clouds;
and generally every snowy day is also cloudy; and
the thicker the clouds are, the more they interrupt
the rays of the sun, and prevent their action; whence
must naturally result a degree of cold great enough
to make the vapors lose their fluidity, and convert
them into snow. But, upon the same principle,
ought it not sometimes to snow in summer ? No
doubt this may happen, and snow may really be
formed in the superior regions of the atmosphere;
but the cold in that season is never sufficiently
strong to counterbalance the effects of the heat re
flected from the earth, which melts the congealed
vapors as they approach the lower regions of the
atmosphere; consequently they cannot then appear
in the form of snow. This is far from being the
case in winter; as it is then so cold in the Tower
regions of the atmosphere, and upon the surface of
the earth, that the frozen vapors in falling can no
longer receive a sufficient degree of the heat to
melt them.
“ It is a pleasing sight to contemplate the flakes of
snow as they fall; in a few moments covering the
whole surface of the earth, far as the eye can reach;
and it admirably justifies what was said by the
pious Brookes, when he told us that ‘ even snow has
its charms, and winter its sweets. Pure and inno
cent pleasures may be enjoyed by all men, except
those who, for want of cultivating their faculties,
are become incapable of reflecting, and never re
gard the works of God.’”
It may appear strange that summer aud suow
should be associated in the above extract. Sher
wood’s GazCUer, saysthat on the Ist of June, 1830,
in it was sojcold in Georgia, that much of the cotton
fine vegetation died, and it was reported that snow
fell in Rabun county. We had a severe suow in
Georgia, on the 14th January, 1831, and several
days elapsed before it melted and disappeared.
On the sth January, 1885, in Troup and Pike coun
ties, the suow was about thirteen inches deep ; in
Milledgeville eight; while in Cherokee it was only
about five. We had very little in Augusta, hut
about a month later, it was intensely cold in this
city. On the Bth February, the mercury was
three degrees below zero in Eatonton, in a close
passage, and eight degrees below zero in the open
air in Milledgeville. Nothing like it was ever
known before in Georgia.
We are indebted to Dr, Wm. Haines, for the fol
lowing report of the range of the thermometer for
the past two days :

There was considerable sleigh riding in Augusta
on the 9th January. 1835. On the 7th and «tu of
February following, all the lagoons in this neigh
borhood were frozen over, and water froze in ves
sels, placed in rooms where a good fire was kept
up. On the 9th, the river was nearly covered with
large masses of drifting ice. On Sunday, the Bth,
the thermometer in Augusta stood, at sunrise, 1 It,
below 0 ; at noon. If below 0; and at sunset, 19°
below 0. To illustrate, practically, the severity of
the cold, at that time, all the fancy show bottles, in
our drug stores, were destroyed by the congelation
of their contents, excepting those prepared by r our
late estimable fellow citizen, Dr. Tnos. I. Wray,
who took the precaution to add to each of his bot
tles an ounce of alcohol.
The thermometrical data, furnished us by Dr.
Haines, indicate very cold and unfavorable weath
er, and we shall be agreeably disappointed if we
do not have it.
The Masked Bail in Charleston.
The J lercury, of yesterday, says: “ The German
Masked Ball, at Hibernian Hall, last evening, was
one of the most successful demonstrations of the
kind ever witnessed in this city. Nearly three
hundred masks and dominos, in appropriate cos
tume, were on the floor, and many of the charac
ters were admirably grotesque, and their charac
teristics amusing; all was within the bounds of
becoming mirth.”
Trial for Robbing the Mai!.
Thomas J. Echols is now undergoing his trial in
Charleston, charged with robbing, from the United
States mail, a letter containing three hundred dol
lars. He was Route Agent on the Columbia and
Charlotte Railroad.
Cold Weather in Charleston.
The Courier, of the 31th inst., says: Yesterday
is said to have been the coldest day experienced in
this city since February, 183A The thermometer
in our office indicated a temperature of only 26°,
and in some places the mercury stood as low as 23°.
Nineteen Shares and a half in the Macon k Wes
tern Railroad Company, were sold at auction, in
Charleston, on the 11th inst., at ninety-seven dol
lars each, and one Share in the Florida Steam
Packet Company at two hundred and fifty dollars.
Gen. W vllack, President of the Spartanburg
and Union Railroad, in South Carolina, it is ru
mored, intends to resign—as well as the Chief En
gineer.

January 9, 1855.
Mb Editor : Right nobly did Jasper county,
lasi Monday, rid herself of the dominion of Know
Nothingism. The Democratic and anti-Know
Nothing party elected its entire ticket, with the
exception of the nominee for Sheriff, When the
Know Nothings made their nominations last No
vember, they felt so confident of victory, that to
receive the nomination, was regarded as substan
tially equivalent to an election. Hence, on that
occasion, a wolfish desire for plunder was manifest
ed by their political Puritans, whom many had been
taught to regard as thoroughly disgusted with the
“wild hunt after office," when at iast their nomi
nations were effected, their champions entered the
arena with crest erect and defiant bearing. We
have met them, in what they were wont to regard
as one of their strong holds—we have routed them;
their scattered hosts are flying from the battle field
in ail directions—their killed and wounded are
thick upon the ground, “like the red leaves of au
tumn,’’ and Jasper county musters once more un
der the suir-spangled banner of Democracy. The
events which have been transpiring in Washington
for the last month, have mainly contributed to pro
duce this result. Our people’have seen the un
conquerable phalanx of Democracy there, day after
day, without regard to whether they represent a
Northern or Southern constituency, with unfalter
ing spirit, giving its support to Mr. Richardson,
whose position upon the slavery question is so uni
versally known and approved of at the South.
They thus see that the Democratic partv, all over
the universe, is national and conservative in its
policy, and fully committed to the protection of
the constitutional rights of the South.
While they have seen this, they have also seen
ail the “odds and ends” of the opposition to the
Democracy, Whigs, Know Nothings and Black Re
publicans.
“ Black spirits and white.
Red spirits and grey,”
Casting their ballots for that notorious Freesoiler,
Banks. They have thus seen, that without the
Democratic party the South has not a corporal’s
guard of friends "at the North. Our people have
been noting and pondering the action of parties
very seriously, and those recent developments to
which I have referred, have led them to the con
clusion, that in these perilous times their onlv hope
of salvation, from great political disaster, is the
triumph of the principles and policy of the Demo
cratic party. Hence the result of last Monday's
•lection Hillsboro’.

Anti-Nebraska Democrats. —-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald, informs us
that about thirty of the Democratic members of the
present Congress are anti-Eebraska —nearly half
of the whole number. If this be so, what claims
have the Democracy to be considered a national’
party, more than any other?
The above paragraph first started on its “bob
ing around” expedition about a month ago. We
called upon the opposition press, then to name the
thirty Democratic members of the present Con
gress who are anti-Nebraska. The Know Nothing
press continue to publish the charge, but cannot
prove its truth. They know its utter falsity. We
will publish the list of the thirty if some one can
furnish it. We again ask—who are the}-?
