A Land of Snow Strewn Thickly \ CWffMM [From the New York Herald.] WINONA, MINN., January 18.-W your Eastern world on the verge of ?ulf Stream has been lifting the hanc despair and voice of protest over a sc fall which made locomotion on foot pleasant and by horse cars impossibli a day or two, and while the whole a try ?as been thrilling with horror at incremation of a few hapless work wo in a tinder box, up here, on the shadi and shelterless prairies, "there hath I wrought a deed of dreadful note." man suffering which parallels that en ed by the fated Franklin has been of h ly occurrence, and lives have been ti as freely as in battle, but with atten circumstances'" infinitely more tragie i wait on the parting of the soul whic rent from the mangled flesh by sho stool. * I was in Minnesota after thea massacres of ten years agovwheu tw wave of Indian invasion swept over smiling land and left it A WASTE OF ASHES SOAKED WITH BL( but the scalping-knife and bullet of Sioux did not do such havoc a3 the sr have wrought this year, uor were all tortures of the red tienda productiv more agony than I have witnessed wi the past ten days. What has been fereu and how many have been slain not yet been ascertained: for the se ments are far apart and communicath difficult ; but by every mail come pari lars that chill the blood, and we can fairly estimate the extent of the calan and, inasmuch as the history of this ir orable Polar wave must, in a large ru ure, be derived from local Bouroes backwoods journals that never reach Eastern reader or editor, it may not labor wasted on the part of the Hen correspondent to prepare a succinct intelligible account of the sad affair which are added such personal passage may be most worthy of preservation. Tuesday, the 7th, was a lovely mild day. The sun was bright and air balmy. 'Every pulse of the 'coui was astir under the genial influence the wild swans that clanged overt once or twice from their meres must h seen the prairie roads alive with tea Th? formers were all out at the nea settlement They were getting short fuel ; there was but a handful of floui the bottom of the barrel, not a scrap meat was left. But the snow's bsd o< ed, their shaggy little hors? ware > again, so every farmer hitched his te for the town. In th?rlittle cottages wood were women and children ; the sch' houses were full of little ones. Such \ the country, thus its dwellers, when blow fell. "Nature would seem td hi arrogated to herself all the savage atti otes which had marked her first child there, their careful and patient watch an easy opportunity and their sudden i relentless onslaught. THE STORM WAS TURNED SIOUX. At Winnebago City there were si: teams assembled; scores were at N Ulm. All along from Albert Lea a Blue Earth, by Windom, Mankato, cl? up to Breckinridge, Belle Prairie a Duluth, the people were scattered, del ered into the hands of the storm. Between twelve and two o'clock Tuesday the sky turned livid, the'sun 1 came merely a dull brazen ring, the soc wind chopped round rapidly and becai cold, and in a very few minutes was lad with fine frozen snowdrift that stung li a shower cf needles. So utterly unp: Sared were the people for the change ie weather, and so suddenly did it coi upon them, that one man at Winneba Caty describes it as " if a man clapped ] hands-so, and the Bnow came in c faces." Knowing what this hurries boded, men leaped into their sleighs, a with voice and lash urged their coweri horses out into the storm. Then the wc of death began. For more than fi! hours, till late on Thursday, the freezi wind and falling snow continued. It w not a steady fall of snow, but A HOWLISO HURRICANE, the wind sometimes attaining a speed twenty-eight, thirty or thirty-two mil? The snow came in fitful flurries, with wild screech and a stinging whiz. T thermometer fell steadily, till at Cham lain it registered fifty-four degrees belc zero. At other places, the mercury mar ed from eight to forty-two degrees belo Some of the farmers who set out soi found that if they valued life they mu turn back. They were enveloped in shee of snow, that blinded them. The wii came so fiercely that they were fain stop and turn round till a momentary lt came. The road-why, the level prair was all road now, without one track wheel or runner to indi'-ate the path safety. Wherever there was a slight Knc or a tree the driving snow-sleet curl? round it and broke over it like yeasty bi lows over a ?vreck, and far to lee wai grew up drifts of eccenu: r'irin. The the snorting uorses that toiled a.. : pres ing with their heaving flank? closer t each oth^r for warmth and dumb pr?tei tion and sympathy, refused tn go forward the driver felt himself becoming listlos: his cold limbs wtre growing wann, ?ni warned of tho SWIFT COMING OF DEATH, he turned and retraced his steps. Happ they who did so betimes1 There wer many who heldon stubbornly till to.) lut' There were many more who, goaded on I ; a dreadful fear of the fate of their wive and little one*, left alone in their frail cit adels, forced on through the drifts tha grew deeper at every gtep ;tnd cold tha became more intenso every moment. An there were others who grew "weary of th contest, and. lying down in then robe: were lulled by the elemental rage into slumber which knew no awakening. Some times the horses gave out, and the unhap py driver, bcnumbid and chilled, !iia mow ments impeded by his heavy elethiag, ha< to abandon his team and take to thu drifts The moans and shrieks of the horses UKI found themselves thus deserted by thei; masters' are said by some few who sur vived sucli sanes lo have been agonizing to hear. And at their homes thipgs wen no better. There was perhaps a scant) supply of fuel in the corner und but i day's food in "he larder. Night trod close . ly on tnc heels of noon. Perhaps tht mother was alone with her suckling child, her husband ten miles away in one di rec tion, her children two miles away in an other. These hapless parents suffered countless deaths. Thc wooden buildings creaked and ROCKED IK THE SWING OF THE STORM Like ships at sea. The timbers cracked with the frost like rifles. Beads of frost stood on every piece of woodwork, the small panes cf glass were so thick with ice that there was no chance that the lamp set in the casement could send its feeble light to the belated strugglers with out It was impossible to open the doors, so high had the drifts become. The lire Sew low, though it was replenished with e scanty furniture. Day succeeded to darkness, but the day was SB the night. Only the chimney of the house appeared above the drifte. The poor woman knew that her child ron lay dead, hand in hand, on the prairie, and that her husband's oorpse was somewhere ea tombed in a giant drift. The little baby's blue lips were laid against her empty breast ; the soul had sped from between them in a little cloud of frozen vapor. She lay down and died, and the relenting winds wafted ihrough the apertures o? the room a dt cent drift of diamond snow for her winding sheet. These pictured, terrible as they may ap pear to the readers of the Herald who sit by warm fires and find the music of the snow ss it tin ties against the glass, a mu sical and a cheerful eound, are leen than the reality. The advance of death was like that of a torturft, who comes with all his horrid engines to the victim bound at the stake. Only they were to be en vied who met a swifter fate in the raging storm without, and were spared the sight of their children dying before their eyes * of hunger Ss Well as of cold. ON THE RAILROADS there was not absolute suffering. Of course trains were snowed in for days in drifts, that towered to th? telegraphs wires, ?nd passengers had to ?TjjVer ?nd be scantily H Jed. B?tth?4'#asohlyatrifl?: f1 When Friday, ,tbe 10th, came; tr?e sun ; rose upon a, hind of snow and silence Drifts many feet deep and many square 1 .miles in extent were thew. Here and 1 ^MMM---n--I-----o there the chimney of a house stood uj like a tombstone in a vast cemetery. Th< land lay like a corpse under a -winding sheet that had moulded itself into occa sional wrinkles over the dead limbs br se features. Now came the giant labor c clearing away the giant drifts and settinj free the imprisoned trains, and the sadde task of tracing through the "prairies- th step of the dead. Everywhere they wer found lying still and statue-like in THE ICY EMBRACE OP DEATH, Sometimes the searches would find ma and horses together, the former lying dea wrapped in his robes with the whip in hi hand, in the sleigh, one horse down, th other standing in the spot where he wa fastened by his partner's faU till he share his partner's fate. Sometimes the sleig was found overturned, with. the. traces .CU Then to the right or left would be discov ered the driver, who had wandered roun in a despairing circle to die. Occasional! the beasts showed in their dilated nostril: widely spread lips and staring eyes th signs of mortal terror. And the men, toi were sometimes Laocoons or ice-statue of writhing despair. But, as a rule, deat came quietly, as it generally does in thes cares, first robbing .the victim of the cor sciousness of approaching death, whic begets an agonized struggle tor life, an stilling him with a stupor said to be s delicious as it is deadly. THE DEATH ROLL. cannot yet be mide up with any reasor able degree of certainty. We are onl now getting detailed reports from th nearer settlements, and it will be fully week ere these are so complete as to b trustworthy. Many of the missing wi not be found till spring ; bbt it is sal to set down all the missing as dead. Afte carefully collating the various reports re ce:ved thus far, and making all allowanc for the remaining parts of the State, I ar. led to conclude that the loss of Ufe i: Minnesota will range from twp hundre and fifty to three hundred. It is jua possible, though not probable, that th i higher figure may be reached. Almost a] of these are rasp and the very large pro portion of them fathers of families. I u i, a Legislativ? Proceeding. * OR Tuesday, the 2lst, aoonourrentres olutlon, that the General Assembly ad Journ tim die on Saturday, February 7 1873. was referred to a Committee op Ju dlclary. 6 In the Senate, Mr. Hollingshead intro duned a Bill entitled " a Bill to charte: the Oreat Northern and Southern Rai Road," but it might, with a great dea of. propriety, (says the Columbia correa pondent of the Courier,) as well bavi been called "a Bill to charter the Ba? fin's* Bay and Sandwich Island Ral Road." In point of volume there is n< fault to be found with the document. Ii is most elaborately drawn up, and has t look of " business" about lt that *sboulc at once secure its passage. Your corres pondent could not undertake to give thc readers of the Courier even a condens?e synopsis of the thousand and one sec tions of the gigantic Bill ; neither thc space allotted to a correspondent nor th? patience of the reader? would admit oi it. It is only necessary to say that thc objective point of the proposed route if Port Royal, and when I have stated thal it will be seen what a visionary scheme the Great Northern and Southern Rail way is. The Bill provides for the establishing of a railway communication between the Atlantic Coast at Port Royal, in the State of South Carolina, and the waiters of the Ohio river, at the mouth of Big Sandy River, thence through Eastern Kentucky Southwest Virginia, Upper East Tennes see, Western North Carolina, and pass ing through the Counties of Pickens, Greenville, Anderson and Abbeville, by Abbeville Court House, and thence by the most eligible route to Port Royal. The Commissioners named to receive subscriptions to the stock of the compa ny are as. follows: In Pickens, Jas. E. Hagood ; in Anderson,-5 in Ab bevile, Jas. S. Cothran, W. Joel Smith, Jerry Hollingshead and J. P. C. Dupre. The capital stock of the Company is fixed at $1,500,000, in shares of $25 each. Authority is granted tho various Coun ties through which the road is to pass to subscribe to the capital ?tock, and the rest of the Bill, which is very volumi nous, grants power to the road to do a great many .things, and to leave undone a great many other things, all of which are too numerous to meiition, particu larly as there does not seem to be the most remote chance of thc completion of the project. It .should, also, bo men tioned that tim property of the road is exempt from taxation, for twenty years aftor ttic completion of thc road, and the same Section provides that "the said road shall never be taxed at a vahuitioji beyond its actual cost." And authority ! is, also, granted to tho Company to hold and pdrchaxe-aiiy other rail road in ?bis or any oilier .State. Tho enacting clause of a bill to require owners oi lessees of lands to remove fal leu trees from the highway* adjoining their lauds, was stricken out. In tlie House, Mr. Artsou introduced thu following Preamble and Resolution, which were adopted: Whereas tho . State has made herself liable to the public by the endorse ment of the bonds of several railroad companies in the State; and where as the credit of the State is suffering by the lui lure of thu said railroad compa nies to meet their yearly interest ; there fore, be it Resolved, That tho Committee on Rail roads be, mid they are' hereby, instruct ed to investigate the condition of the various radrgad companies in the State which have issued bonds bearing the en dorsement of tho State, and have iailod ed to meet their yearly interoat on such bonds as they became'due, and to report at an early day what legislation is neces sary. In the Senate, on Wednesday, the 22d, tho following Bills received their second reading, and were ordered.to be engross ed for a third reading : Bil) to provide for the more effectual collection of the poll tax ; to rnako -appropriations ho pay tho outstanding certificates of the hist General Assembly. The following Bills were referred to their appropriate Committees: Bill to fund the ue-bt of Beaufort County; to! amend the law in relation to salea day in Beaufort County ; to incorporate the Sec ond Coosa watchie Bap ti.s l'y ,'lj u r ch'in Beau fort; to repeal Section 4 of au Act enti tled "Au Act to relieve the State of South Carolina of all liability for its guaranty of the bonds of .the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, by providing for the securing and destruction of the saine," approved March 2, 1872. Mr. Whittemore on the part of the ju diciary committee, reported a substitute, entitled a bill to authorize certain com mittees to examine the accounts and de mands against certain counties, and for other purposes, for the bill jrefwed to the committee to investigate and. report upon ti.e outstanding labilities of the: county of Edgefield. In the House, the Committee on Ways and Means reported a resolution to as certain the amount and validity of the debt of the State. It provides for a com mission, consisting of the Governor, At- ! torney-GeneraL, State Treasurer, and the Chairman of the Finance Committee of J the Senate and Ways and Means Com- ' m i t tee of the House, to register all Bonds, t Stock and Coupons of the State, ;and en- i sots that none ahall be considered .valid I unless registered. The registration wiv? be made before November 1st, 1873. It * Uso repeals the Validating Bill. i The Bill to aid and encourage manu- < factures and internal improvements was i intended on ita reading so as to exempt i nanul'acturers of .cotton and woolen fa- t aries, and agricultural implement* and c rall roads from all taxes, eoccopt two { nilla fer schoei purposes. i Mr. Cochran asked leave to; intr|guce i bill to repeal that section Jof the*Jaw lertaming to scbools_.which require*the evv-?f s> district tax beforeifcy bi. the Lppjopr^jjiion appor?on?d ?xuay be rc jeived.^1 jfti Prin(?^iver4;inrroduce4*bill toVin ?rporatetbe Bdgefield tot^i^oy^?l 30^.mufactrisbag C^npany r reared ko the committeefon incorporations.v Representative Warley introduced a Bill to fix the price of tavern licenses, which provides that from and after its passage, the price of tavern licenses in the several Counties of tho State, outside of the.incorporated cities, towns and villages, shall be $40 per aanum, payable quarterly. .On Thursday,-the?3d,in the SanateH?U? bill introduced by Mr. Corwin, of New berry, to incorporate the Newberry and Chester Railway Company, names W. G. Meyers, J. M? Baxter, JD. R. Phifer, J. D. Boston,. T! P. Harmon, R. E. Mc Laughlin, J. P. Pool and others as incor porators to construct tho road between the points named, of whatever gauge may be practicable, the capital stock not to exceed $2,000,000, iu fifty dollar shares. Five dollars per share to be p?id up on subscriptions, and when the sum amounts to $25,000 the company organize. The powers enjoyed by the Northeastern Railroad'are to be granted. It may be lawful for any town or county to sub scribe. In the House tho Ways and Means Committee introduced a Bill to make appropriations for the fiscal year ending October 31st, 1873. The amounts appro priated are as follows : For salaries $104> 700; Executive Department $36,500 ; Ju diciary Department $2,400; ordinary civil expenses $'85,000; extraordinary expenses $80,000; educational depart ment $842,850 r total $811,400. The ap propriation for extraordinary expenses is for furnishing the Penitentiary, No mention' whatever is made of the pro vision for the payment of the interest on the public debt. The. House again, by resolution, cleared the calendar of all incorporation Bills. On Friday, the 24th, in the House, the Judiciary Committee reported a Bill to revise and amend the Code of Proced ure; thp same Committee reported fa vorably on the Bill, which bas already passed the Senate, io regulate the appoint ment and salary of Trial Justices' i. Charleston. Grew? introduced a Bill to provide for pasturage of stock. Tho following Bills on the Calendar passed: Bill to amend Section 33, of an Act to establish and maintain free schools; in relation to legal service in legal pro cess ; to amend Section 17, Chapter XIV of the General Statutes. There was a lengthy discussion on the Bill to instruct the Trustees of the State Orphan Asylum, to purchase a lot and erect a building the eton, at a cost of $20,000. But the House adjourned with out taking any action on it. In the Senate, Corwin introduced a Bill regulating the execution ' and death sentence, Wbittemore introduced a Bill to amend and revise the Co;Jr.. There was a long dolmte in the Senate over a Bill to repeal Seetiou 4 of an Apt entitled " An Act to relieve tho State of South Carolina of all liability for its guaranty of thu bonds of thc Blue Ridge Railroad Company, by providing for the securing and destruction of thc same," approved March 2, W), and to repeal so much of Section 72, Chapter 12, Title 3, of the Genend Stututes, a? authorizes tho State Auditor to give notice annually to each County Auditor of the rates per centum to be levied for various State purposes, which, after much filibuster ing, was passed and ordered to be en grossed. This action is regarded as fatal to the Blue Ridge Scrip case, recently argued before thc Supreme Court. On Saturday, the 25th, in the Senate, tho Committee on Railroads reported favorably a bill to incorporate the New berry and Chester Railroad Company, with an amendment that tho road should I not be exempt from taxation. In tho House, Mr. David Graham gave notice of a bill to incorporate the Pleas ant Hill Baptist Church, of Edgefield County. Mr. Paris Simklus offered a rofeolutjon, which was adopted, requiring the Sar? geant-at-Arms to make an inventor}' and stowaway the furniture of the House '. of Representatives. Deatli of an Agad Lady. Mrs. Louisa Murrell, mother of our esteemed friend, Maj. J. H. Murrell, of tho Charleston Courier, and a grand daughter of Geuoral Sumter, ol Revolu tionary rame, died at bur h?fue near Sumter, on thc .'Ird Instant, ul thu ad vanced agc of 00 years. The Slimier Xews, noticing her death, says : " Mrs. Murrell was a reniai kable wo man, possessing a elear, powerful, vigor otiB intellect, which retained its strength aud brightness almost up to the last mo ment of her life. She was one of the few links, connecting the present time, with tho heroic agc Of our country. Im, her younger days shu associated anil communed with giants, and thc impres sion then made imparted a Titan lone to her thoughts and character. Had ?ho been of the sterner sex, withhenathlotic mind, robust integrity of character, and lofty patriotism, she would have modo an indelible mark u|>ou her ago and country. Wo remember hearing the late Colonel William C. Preston, who resided many years in Washington City, and who was acquainted with all Ute female celebrities of America, pronounce Mrs Murrell to be one of the most re markable, gifted and accomplished wo men he had ever known. She was buried on Sunday at the family cemete ry, near this town." . Cy" The Beaufort Itcpublican says, ' truly : Whitteniofo' introduced a bill to enfore the payment of the poll tax, in flicting a double penalty and thirty days in jail for nonpayment. Tho jails would have to be greatly enlarged if such a law was passed and enforced. But there is not the slightest dangor of it. The leg islature will sell out the property of de linquents without redemption, but they will nevbr dare enforce the head tax by the only way it can be collected, i, e., by making the payment of it a preliminary to voting. Abolish it altogether. As It bi now enforced, it is a delusion Why Some Hotels are Unpopular? What is the mont common complaint with guests against first class hotels? Nine old travelers out of teu can give you the fault formula in a minute. About as follows; " I registered my name, and they gave me ?. room at the top of the house, and charged m# as much as if I had the best room on ?hs jowest door. Major-General Buncombe had .the bost room in tho house and didn't ?my more than I did. It will be positively] refreshing to our readers to know that .bere is one first-class hotel, at least on. Broadway, New York, that has taken a itand against this unsatisfactory and vorn-out system, and charges less for ho upper floors th**? the lower, and al ows the guests to choose fat themselves.

The Augusta papers of Wednesday morning however, make no mention of it-by telegram or othwwiso. At this hour, it is all the talk i n Edgelield. Edgefield Gold Milien artd; Railroads. Of course most of our peopl? have heard a good deal of the Faulkmr,. Quat: il Obau pi, and Landrum ?gold mi^s, or rather gold lands, some three or four miles' above Meeting Street. "Mining upon tLese lands has been began from time to time within the past ten or.twelye years, but owing to the war, and the consequent confusion and want of capital, but little has1 been effected. Repeated examinations of the veins and specimens, however, 'have rstrengthened .the belief that untold wealth lies buried in this favored region; And of this opinion is1 a Mr. Wilkie, an enterprising Northern man, of Schenectady, N. York," the latest individual who has looked into the mat ter. Mr. Wilkie has been on * ? vistf to the gold region lately, and is so well sat isfied with, what he saw that he has leased these lands for a long period, and re turned to the North to make preparations for working the mines. And he has also so thoroughly convinced One ot most practical and long-headed citizens that there is money in this ? undertaking, as to induce the said, citizen-Dr. D'. C.
