My Wile. li’.-.-Un lefti-'e recovering from a severe titknm. 1 heard her, O, how cautiously, Open my bedroom door: 1 heard her steps as noiselessly, To my couch across the floor,' I felt her hands ray temples press, Her lips just touching mine ; And in my anguish and distress, Twere sinful to repine. Our pilgrimage is nearly through v\ e’vc passed life's mountain s brow ; 1 thought I lov’d her, years ago— -1 know 1 love her now. Her face was hovering over mine - Her warm tears on my cheek ; lh-r whispered prayer, of thought clivino Rose fervently but meek ; Her bosom rested on my arm ; 1 felt its troublous throb ; 1 know the cause of its alarm, 1 knew its source of woe ; And then the blood my system through, Came pressing on my Brow— -1 thought I lov’d her, years ago 1 know 1 love her now. Thus watch'd that tired and patient oua, By night as well as day, lu sadness and almost alone, Till weeks had passed away ; Bereft of sleep—deprived of rest— Oppressed —borne down with care. Till O; her labors have been bless’d, l or God has heard her prayer. Her cheek resumes its wonted glow. And placid is her brow— -1 thought 1 lov’d her, years ago - 1 kumv I love her now. The Snow Sroaii *r Philadelphia and Shw \ ni;K —lt appears it did not commence snowing iii Philadelphia until Saturday afternoon, and con tinued to fall until 4 o'clock on Sunday morning. The LtAjtr, of 7th iust., savs: “The snow fell about fifteen inches on a level, hut in the streets of the city it was piled up in jdacea five nr six feel high. Though yesterday was a dav of r.>t, thousands of laborers turned ■ lit to clear the sidewalks, and for a few hours there was a busy rattling of shovels and brooms, from strong arms, working with a will. Wages were good and hands were brisk; many a laborer . anted the best day's wages received this winter. The snow hung in ledges over the roofs, and occa sionally a mass of it, started by the sun’s ravs, .old descend upon the sidewalks, to the imuii ii.-iit risk of knocking pedestrians down. The sleighing is excellent, and by to-day the roads will ho pretty well broken, so that but little inconve nience will be experienced by housekeepers front the storm. If yesterday' had been a dav of busi ness. the market and milkmen would not have he at able to sen-.-their customers. The lines of railroad were all impeded by the snow, not a sin xde mail line, from any quarter, due on Saturday night, reached the city in tha usual time.’’ At Vow York, the snow was accompanied bv a i old, gusty wind. The Herald, of Sunday savs : " Tie- kind >f storm that raged yesterday is above all others the most likely to do damage to the shipping on the coast, as the wind blows on shore, and the drifting snow makes it impossible to see the headlands and lighthouses. There will, ■■onsequently, he much anxiety'felt with regard to vessels at sea for some days to come.’’ Salem. V. J., Jan. 1. —The snow here is a foot leep. The weather is very cold. This morning the mer curyjwas 4 below 0. Pethesbi ao, V a , Jan. 7.—The road between here and Washington, anil even further South, is blocked up with snow Two trains are detained between Acquia Creek and Fredericksburg, arid the Southern train has not arrived there. The snow is six inches deep at Raleigh and drift ed badlv. The telegraph line is down below Ra leigh. Cincinnati, Jan. 7. It has been snowing heavi ly ull day here. The roads are unobstructed so far. Chii aoo, Jan. 7. -It is very cold here. The roads are unobstructed bv the snow so far. Cairo, li.t ~ Jun. 7. The first New Orleans mail, under the now contract, arrived here to-day. It was six (lavs on tin- route. The new depot of the .Mound City Branch of the Illinois Central Railroad was blown down this morning. Bcfkalo, Jan. 7. —lt is snowing here to-day. The trains eastward are delayed in consequence. H.ARKi.SBriiU, Jan. 7.-—We have no train from Philadelphia to-dav. Klcven Senators are absent, detained by the snow, and a bare quorum only are present to transact business. The Collins Steamers. The Postmaster General renews, this rear, his ' on extra appropriations, granted by Con- ! gross to the Collins line of steamers, in the follow- | ing style: “ In my last annual report 1 referred to the large amounts annually drawn from the treasury by the Collins line of steamers, and recommended that the six months’ notice required by the act of July , til, 18.52, should he given. It is not necessary that 1 should again refer to the important fact that the Collins line of steamer- is receiving from the gov ernment eight hundred and fifty-eight thousand dollars for twenty-six trips, while the British gov ernment paid the Cnnard line eight hundred and sixtv-six thousand seven hundred dollars for fifty- ' two trips; nor to the injurious effects which the establishment of this monopoly must have upon 1 the commercial interests of the country. “ Their original contract entered into by them, after full consideration, bound them to build five t steam-hips, to maintain and subsist four passed j midshipmen and a mail agent, and for the mail : service they were to receive nineteen thousand two j hundred and fifty dollars a trip. Congress has re- j lieved them front that part of the agreement which j obliged them to maintain the four midshipmen. , The Post Office department has not taken advan tage of the contract which empowers it to send out j a mail agent, and which obliges the company to j accommodate and subsist him ; and the company, instead ol building five steamships, as stipulated j in their contract, have built but four. With the j knowledge that the company have built but four j steamships; that they have been relieved from two onerous conditions of their contract, one bv Congress and the other by the action of the Post Office Department in a spirit of munificence and 1 liberality —on the gist of July, lsr,2, the amount j of compensation was increased to thirty-three thou- I sand dollars a trip. Temporary embarrassment, ! caused by the company’s entering into a new en- j terprise, may have been the cause of this action ou : the part of Congress; but these reasons can no • longer resist. “Apart from the prices fixed in their ovrn contract, i the sum paid bv the British government is, in my j opinion, a full equivalent for their service, and it ' is for this reason that 1 agaiu refer to it ; but what- j ever unexpected outlays there were on the nart of the cotnpanv. Congress has certainly dealt with them in a truly liberal and generous spirit. Since the passage of the act of July 21, 18.12, computing from phe Ist of January, 1852, the time when the additional allowance commenced, to the Ist of De cember, 1855, the company will have received one million four hundred and two thousand five bun dled dollars more than they would have been en titled to for the same amount of service under the original contract ; and if this period be lengthened, and the notice not given until March, it will make one million six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Whatever, therefore, were the views Congress in granting this increased compensation, I cannot but regard the continuance of it as a mere gratui ty, destroying all competition on a most important route, and, like all such appropriations, attended by more pernicious influences. Vlilbnnm Legislature.. Montgomery, Jan. 7. This body re assembled this day. Hon. George Goldthwaite tendered his resignation as Judge of the Supreme Court. Da vid ('lepton. Geo. W. Stone ami a North Alabam ian, are candidates to fill the vacancy. Some local bills were passed. The day was consumed in the discus-ion of joint resolutions, introduced by Mr. Speaker V alker, upon the subject of our Federal relations. The resolution approving tha Nebras ka-Kansas act was attacked bv Messrs. Belser and Cryoi, and very ably sustained bv Messrs. Walker, Beck and others. The ground of objection was that t:;e act recognized squatter sovereignty and allowed foreigners to vote. It was contended in ’.epiv that by the terms of the act, the powers of ihe Legislative Assembly were limited; and that the privilege of voting extended onlv to tha first •loctiou.— QohtHb'tt Iv/tAi Maryland and Delaware Railroad. —The Denton Journal states that the work on this im provement is going bravely on, notwithstanding the disagreeable and inclement weather which has prevailed ever since its commencement on Thurs day week last. About forty-five hands are now at work. We understand that Ei.mimd Whitaker was killed by Jkfperson}Rowland, at Hearing, on Mon day evening last, Whitaker, we learn, has been committed to Columbia county jail.

Edmonds, of the Massnchu | setts militia, wishes to resign. •Du Strang, thr Mormon Kino.—Strang, the chief of the Mormons, on Beaver Island, is the edi . tor of a paper, and in a late number he fills four | teen columns with a defence of his people, from - charges brought against them by Michigan papers. ; We quote a specimen paragraph to illustrate his style: : ” let we walk in conscious security. We laugh iin hitter scorn at these threats. And we tell these editors, marshal your myrmidons and send them along to make a spoil of beauty and booty, as soon |as von please. V e bid them a bloody welcome to hospitable graves; over which, each year we will pile stones, with a muttered curse, against the day of resurrection of damnation.” Town Items. Since January first every man is up for a trade. In real estate and other property “everyday brings something new.” We learn that Judge Ildoke has ' purchased the Montgomery place—the finest loca lion in town. ! Rev. E. F. Sevier has bought the residence of j Judge Hooke— a good piece of property. Dr. Miller has purchased Mr. Corrv’s place and taken possession. Jno. (}.

The Foundry has been leased to Messrs. I,ee#, Webster A Eastman who intend to do a driving business and we wish them much success. They are all practical machinists. The Tennessee is in good tide and we hope to i see business improve. The extreme cold weather , keeps every article of trade in the hack ground. Hogs continue to suffer in the tune of 500 per ; day in our packing houses.— Chattanooga Ado j Democratic Convention in Alabama.— The State j Convention of the Democratic and Anti-Know i Nothing party ot Alabama assembled in Montgom- j erv on the sth inst. We learn from one of the j Delegates that a platform was adopted similar to 1 : that ratified by the Georgia Democracy in Decem ber last. Delegates were also appointed to the : Cincinnati Convention. Among the Delegates are John Forsyth, of the Mobile Register, who was chosen by acclamation, John Cochran, Samuel Chapman, and John Erwin, for the State at large -Judge Tate is a delegate from the 3d, and J. L. Pugh from the 2d district. We have not learned the names of the other del egates. The official proceeding# have not yet : reached us.— (hlumbus Times. Lost Baggage.— An. Interfile J Party maybe a Witness. —The following is the report of a ease tried in the First District Court, New York, before Judge Green. ftot/ait vs. the Camden and Arniboy Railroad Co. —The plaintilf was a passenger on the defend ants’ railroad to Philadelphia, in the spring of 1854. He paid his passage here and took a check for his trunk. When the cars arrived at Philadel phia he presented his check to the baggage master and demanded his trunk. It could not DC found and was not delivered. These facts were sworn to by the defendants’ baggage master, who re- i ceived the trunk. It was then proposed to prove I by the plaintiff the contents of the trunk, out it 1 was objeoted to by Mr. Livingaton, the defend ants’ counsel, on the ground that the general rail road act of this State, alhnviug the plaintiff to be exaimined to prove the contents of his trunk, did not apply, as the defendants were a foreign cor poration, and the act in question related exclusive ly to corporations formed under it. The judge overruled the objection, and in doing so stated that, although the railroadact did notap plv to the case, yet the common law does, that af ter a party has established the fact by testimony other thaii his own of the delivery of the trunk, (which fact the plaintiff lias proved in this case,) he is a competent witness to prove iis contents for the reason that the wearing apparel of a traveller is generally packed by himself, and if he were not permitted to prove by his own testimony the arti cles thus jiacked, he would he remediless in the premises. 1 know the general rule of evidence would not permit a person to be sworn as a wit ness in his own behalf, but this from the necessity of the case is an exception to that rule, y I Green leaf’s Ev. p. 408, and note; Story on Bail, p. 477. > I am, therefore, of an opinion, that the plaintiff is a competent witness to prove the contents of the trunk in question. The defendants’ counsel ex cepted to the ruling. The plaintiff then testified | to its contents and the value, amounting to $83.50, and there being no further testimony produced on | either side, judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff for that sum with costs. We understand j the defendants intend appealing from this deci sion. Thh Rulers of Europe.— The Court Calendar of ! Gotha, for 1856, contains some statistics which are interesting. The oldest of forty-eight sove reigns of Europe is the Grand Duke of Mecklen berg Strelitz, who is nearly seventy-seven years of age ; the two youngest being the Kiug of Portu gal and the Duke of Parma, the former of whom > is eighteen and the latter seven years. The Prince j ! °f Sehaumberg l.ippe has reigned the greatest i number ot years, having taken the reins of govern ment in the last century ; while at the bottom of j the list stands the Emperor of Russia, who, ns is ! well known to all, mounted the throne in the past I year. Six sovereigns are as yet unmarried, — ; three are widowers, and one is divorced; of the remaining number two have contracted morganatic j marsiages, viz; the King of Denmark and the j Elector of Hesse. Os the heirs apparent and pre j aumptive, twenty-fix are sons, two daughters, i twelve brothers, three uncles and one cousin. The ! oldest of the heirs presumptive is the heir of the J Duke of Modena, who is seventy-three years of ■ »S*‘. Tut. British Current’!'. -It has been finally de : eided to introduce the decimal currency all over the United Kingdom. The pound will be retained as the unit, and divided into one thousand parts, 'ihe i half crown will be abolished—the shilling fifty, the sixpence twentv-five, aud a new coin will he intro duced representing live farthings, while the present j farthing will be depreciated one-tweuty-nfth in | value—that is, there will be a thousand to the pound sterling, instead of nine hundred aud sixty. — Edward De Stoeckle, Russian Charge d Affaires | at Washington, was married on Thursday morn ing last, at Springfield, Mass., to Miss Eliza W . Howard, youngest daughter of the law Hon. John ; Howard, London the Greatest City. —London is now the | greatest city in the world, and far surpasses all the | great cities of antiquity. According to Gibbon, the population of ancient Rome in the height of j its magnificence, was 1,200,000; Nineveh is esti : mated to have had 600,000; and Dr. Medhurst sup i poses that the population of Pekin is about 2,000,- ! 000. The population of London, according to re- I cent statistics, amounts to 2,500,000 —414,722 hav i ing been added to it during the last ten years. The census shows that it contains 307,722 inhabi ted, and 16,389 uninhabited houses. Colonization in Africa. —The Great Inner Sen of Africa, twice as large as the Black Sea, includ ing Azuff, the existence of which, Cooley, the Af rican geographer, argued for long ago, and the discovery of which has heeu previously announced, has been further verified by explorations; hut the sea is not s<> remarkable as the people in its neigh borhood, who are said to read and write ; have no idols, are generally serious, solid, sensible people, and profess to believe iu God, and have no tincture of Mahommedanism. From whom did they learn these'things, oris it a traveller’s story? Frozhn to Death. —We learn from a private let ter that one Mr. Henry Hall was found frozen to i death on the 4th inst., near the residence of Mr. Samuel Svkes, Bryan county. Mr. H. left the | house of Mr. S. about the 24tli of December in a i tit of insanity. He was a native of New York. Savannah Georgian. A couple of men, named Lowe and Smith, were arraigned in Hawesville, Kentucky, afew days ago, for having been concerned in a street affray. They no sooner met in the court room than they drew re volvers and commenced firing at each other, and at every one else who offered to interfere in their sport. No harm was done. Dr. Luther, astronomer at the Observatory of Bilk, near Dusseldoff, Prussia, the discoverer of four or five of the small planets between Mars and Jupiter, has recently discovered a hitherto unknown star in the constelatiou of the Fishes. It is to be called T. Piscium. Banks in Kentucky. —The Governor of Ken tucky, in his annual message, states that the banks of the Commonwealth are in a sound and prosper ous condition. He is opposed, howeverf to adding to the number, and recommends that they he re strained hereafter from issuing notes of a denomi nation less than five dollars. A Columbus Scene. —-The night of the 9th iu#t. was bitter cold; the street# were wet and sloppy ; all doors were closed to shutout the piercing wind; and bright fires blazed on every hearth. As we re turned from supper on this hitter night, we stum bled in the dark over a human form down upon the wet side walk. It proved to he a young man who was so beastly drunk that he had lost all power oflo comotion, and but for the kind attentions of some good Samaritans who passed that way, lie must have inevitably perished with cold. John Costigan sued the Albany Transcript for libel, but instead of receiving ten thousand dol lars damages, lias to pay the costs of eighteen months of litigation, m two suits, a result some what resembling that of an ancient “ who went out for wool and came home shorn.” ' John Jay, at twenty-nine years old, was a mem ber of the Continental Congress, and w rote an ad dress to the people of Great Britain, which was justly regarded as one of the most eloquent pro ductions of the times. At thirty-two, he prepared the Constitution of tins State of New York, uud iu the same year was appointed Chief Justice of the State. 'Flic Ocean Steamers. SAILING DAYS TO AND FROM THE UNITED STATES.
