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 : 1850. 7A. M. 2P. M. 2P. M.

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. [communicated.] 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’. BY TELEGRAPH. Further per Canada. Columbia, Jan. 10.—Private accounts, but with out dates and considered rather doubtful, say Omah Pasha has driven in the Russians and taken pos session of Rhoni, about five leagues from Kutais, and was preparing to attack the latter place, which was strongly garrisoned. Ten thousand Russians were at Mouravieff; and a portion of that force had been detailed to make an attack on Omar Pasha. _ A terrible hurricane had occurred in the Crimea —the Tchernaya had overflowed, doing much damage.

New York, Jan. 9.—Vienna correspondents in timate that Austria has declined the invitation of Prussia to join her in pacific intervention. Also, that Napoleon had re-called the invitation to Rus sia, requesting that Government to open negotia tions ; but that in November, Austria invited the Western Powers to re-open a peace Conference at Paris, and recommending the maintenance of the four guarantees, as the basis of negotiations with, modifications respecting Russia’s domination in the Black Sea. Russia has not replied; but she would send representatives to the Conference. It is reported that the Ambassador of Sweden, at Vienna, formally announces that Sweden ad heres to the Allies’ interpretation of the Four Points. It is reported, but thought doubtful, that the Russian proposals for peace are different from the propositions made by the Allies, received at Vienna. It is said that the British Government has de manded an explanation of the intended reduction of the Austrian army. The London News says the majority of the French Cabinet think Russia will accept the pro posed terms; but a majority of the British Cabinet think otherwise. New York, Jan. 9.—The Ohio and Delaware Rivers are frozen over. New York., Jan. 10.—The cotton market is dull. Flour is firm. Prices for wheat somewhat lower. Corn is steady.

Washington-, Jan. 9. —In the House to-day, on the last ballot for speaker, Banks received 97 votes, Richardson 72, Fi ller 33, Pennington 0. Various gentlemen defined their positions—sev eral vainly endeavoring to mako Mr. Banks say whether he is now a member of the American Or der or not, Good prospect for a night session. LATER. There have been four balloLs to-day, without an election—the vote on the last was greatly reduced. The House is still iu session at o’clock, P M. \V ashington, Jan. 9. —Three New York mails are now due. No news from the South since Sat urday.

Most of the night was con sumed iu ineffectual efforts to adjourn, and other impracticable motions. There was a collision on the Hudson River rail road yesterday, below Poughkepsie. Two cars were demolished. Three persons were killed and twenty-two wounded—some fatally. The steamer Star of the West sailed from New York yesterday for Nicaragua, with a party of til libusters. Five arrests were made by the United States Marshal, before the departure of the steam er, all of whom were concerned in the Northern Light affair. The Southern mails will be forwarded by the Bay Line, via Norfolk, from Baltimore, until the obstructions are removed from the Virginia rail road. The snow was some fifteen inches deep in Lynch burg, Va., on Monday. The passenger train on the South Side Railroad, due Saturday, had not reach ed there Monday evening; through cars of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, arrived at the usual hour. 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}-? COMMERCIALS i Augusta Market, Jan. 11, 4 P. M. COTTON.—The steamer’s news has had no in fluence upon the market. All the sales effected were made at old prices.

CHARLESTON, Jan. 10.— Cotton.—' The transac tions for several days preceding the date of our last report, were on rather a limited scale, and the mar ket on the whole, may be said to have been in a languid and drooping condition, which was partic ularly the case with the middling and lower de scriptions, which, when we closed our enquiries, were generally about under the opening prices’ placing good middling at and middling tair at 9%@9U'c.
