IT?" Tbe following is an extract from a j
letter fros the Editor dated
pTtx6Bcaa, Jn. 26.
The past has been an a?ful week here, and
tLe present ia not very promisinat. Althongh
you- tej ort of "19 persons" freeiing to death
here, was exaggerated jus' by an excess of 14,
ibrrebjd been, snd ii now, a vast amburt
of suffering in the place. BituDiinous and
amLran'e coal can't be Sogbt by (!ro3snr -wood
ia ouiing in a 'iitle more pLntifully
?ince tbe Southern Rail Road track has been
re-r.pened, and aa tbe South-Side is now open
to Lynchburg, it will contribute much to tbe
general relief. . . '
Thegu has done yeoman service during
h:s dreadful "term," for it not only bas fur
n'shed ligM at night, but its residuary lega
tee, coJfcr, baa kept many a person from freei
ing io death. The city corpora tely, and
i lie ciiiseua generally, bave s' rained eve
ry nerve to alleviate suffering, but still
here must bave ben a gTeat deal en
dured, that bas not yet been beard of.
Kvry th'og ia at a halt, except the aleigha
which are going and ringing from morn
ing ib late at night. Such "turns outs"
aa uieet the eye n tbo streets can't be de
a tihed. and 1 wouldn't be at all surprised at
any moment to see a dough tray on runners
drawu Ly a big dog, and JeLu'd by a boy,
or young American. It woula be amusing,
but fur i he reflection, that what is fun to the
slcighers, is death to the destitute.
tt" A mi mber of the II use of Commons,
while on the fl or, reiog much annoyed by
frequent and vociferous call of ''Question !

generiisity of the members by remarking in
au ex ited and loud tone of . vice, ,"l' have
not cons xmpttd much of the time of this

that tbe iust worby and able men of almost
all the C uu lies have been left at borne, and
men eut to legislate for the good of tbe State
abode not actually know the English lan

a son of Or. Edie, of Christiausbufg, Va.
On Tueaday morning they met io the passage
of the College building, and te quarrel was

There will be no more questions of order

lat of which, slyly, (like a lady's postscript)
contains the cream of the matter, and gen ly

sparring and spunk of the contrary-wise law
makers, so vastly edifying to the lobby loun
gers, most be ended at last. There will be
an end, too, of oyster suppers, in which sun
dry of the jolly Americans, having little else
to do, have freely indulged. Even Pepper

TILE KECiSjfT STORM AND ITS BF4
. FECTS. ' "
Our exo'anges bring us numerous accounts
of terrible suffering, and. in many instanoes
death resulting from' the severity of the re
cent! storm. . We can only make room for a
mere mention of a few of them. :L
The Charlotte Democrat . states that D'.
Charles Harris, a highly respectable oitixea
of Catawba coontv, came to bis death on
Moaday night the 10th inst., under most dis
tressing circumstances. " It appears that be
left home for the purpose of. 'going to Con
cord ; but before proceeding directly for that
point he bad t occasion to visit , neighbor's
house, and in attempting to. do so, he lost bis
way in the wovds. -Oa arriving at a email
branch' he dismounted from hU horse in rder
toB discover the road, and in crossing the
branch h stepped upon tbe ice wbich yielded
unaer ins weight and plunged bun in tne wa
.... t "- . . . " . . .
ter, i Bis horse, in the meantime, had ran
off and left him alone. After he bad gotten
but. of the water, being thoroughly chilled
and 'benouibed with oold and bis oothes
froxen, he drsgge 1 himself to tbe brow of the
hill b ero he fell and Derished in the snow.
at -
KJ7 lorn from the Petersburg Ex
press that Mr. Robert A. Traylor, who twa
reported perished in the storm of the 18th,
with Dr. Coxi is no dead, i Mr, T. was in
good spirits when last heard from, but it was
thought he would have to suffer the Mnputa
ti n of both feet which would probably cause
ii death. 'l ;. : " ;--
At'Portsmoutb, Va., a Mrs. Carr was in
stantly killed by the .falling of the chimney
at her bouse. " Her husband and child, both
sleeping in tbe same bJ, were slightly in
jured, i :. ,.
. The Schr. Thne was wrecked on Lynnhaven
Beach . on . Saturday night, and the CVptain
and Cook froxen to death. r - v;. 'r ' (,
The telegraph reports many other "ship
wrecks and losses of life, but we huve oo
space' to chronicle them. The storm was
very severe all-along the Sea-coast, but
teems to hare been leas severe further west.
THE MAILS.
The cars on 'he Raleigh & Gaston R. R.
brought us on Wednesday las Richmond and
Retersburg papers from the 19th to the 28th
January, inclusive, and New .York and Bil
timore papers to the 20th, and tbe mails
since then have brought as the rest of the
exchanges due. Therefore we are for the
present well furnished with reading mattr.

There are in tha office, nemly filed 1 way and
