Snow.
Snow commenced falling on Saturday morning
last, and continued to do so for several hours.
The flakes were very large, covering the earth |
to the depth of two or three inches Haiti had i
descended previously, which caused much of!

settled purpose never nguin to occupy a sout in 1 [

Gf.NERAI. I.AXK, OK OuKOON, ON TUB lvKiltTS (
, or vtifc 'Soutii.?We copy from the National in- ,
j telligouccr, the following account of some re- "(
marks made by den. Lane, of Oregon. As be
will probably be the nominee of the Charleston
Convention, his views will be read with interest.
Mr. Lane, of Oregon, briefly stated that, while |
ho would not deny that Mr. Douglas and Mr.
l'ugh wore good Democrat*, he differed from ,
them in thoir opinions on tho Territorial ques? ;
tion. For himself, he held that the Territories
were the common property of all the States,
whose citizens, by every principle of equality
and justice, were consequently entitled to enter *
me cminiuu domain with wlmtevor was recog- '
niged as property by the law of their respective <
Slates ; una that property, of wlmtevor kind,
when thus removed to this common domain, was \
equally entitled to protection from the law-making
power. The Territorial Legislature could
not establish or prohibit slavery, but could and I
should protect the slaveholder in the enjoyment <
of his right to the labor of his slave so lung as
the Territorial condition lasted ; mid, if this protection
were not furnished by the Territorial I
Legislature, it would be the duty of Congress to ! <
afford it. i
The Sons or Kmy.?Many hard stories are |
told at the expense of the brave sons of "owld |
Ireland." But the following timely repartee wo t
consider an exceptidn.

his porters (a smart Irishman) that lie was About

I " Sure," Miid Patrick, rubbing his hands with '
delight., " I always mune to do nio jury." " 1
believe you," replied the employer, "and therefore
i .shall tnako you a present of nil you have |
stolen from me during the year 1" " Thank yor ,
honor," replied Pat, "and may all your friends (
and acquaintances trate you as liberally."

drove them into th.; woods, having captured
.several, who are in jail at that place. A company
of mounted men at once started in pursuit
of the remainder. The citizons are all

A Homespun Party.
The movement towards Southern indepen<
is progressing steadily. The people of
Virginia are in dewd earnest about this mattor.
While we gentlemen have contented
ourselves, as yet. with meetings, speeches, &? .,
the ladies have begun toaet. Without noise,
they have commenced to give force and color
to our resolution*?-to put our theories into
practice. We had the pleasure, a few evenings
ago, of attending a " homespun pnty,"
! given by a patriotic lady of this city, whose
' excellent good sense prompted her to suhstiI
tllte decile for xr.ir.ls toul ?<> i .? ?
I nnco tliiit system of h< li'-dopendeuoo which
| has be mi the theme of the innumerable public
I meetings hold recently in every county of the
State. Tin* p'uty w.is :i deefdod, a brilliant
success. More tl>au a hundred ladies and
jimitleinen, belonging to the irfoKt r cm pec table
families in the city, were prufcent, all of
whom wore attired in part or in wliole, in
garments made of Virginia i^ihrie.s, woven in
Virginia looms. Jt was strictly a Virginia
! cloth party.
j As a matter of course, t!ic ladies were far
in advance of the gentlemen, in their costumes.
Many of the latter wore but a single
article of clothing made of material produced
I and manufactured in the State : rouik. imWfl
had not evoji so lulioji sis a Virginia puclc.'t
handkerchief; but the ladies, without exception,
won: dressed from top to toe in homemade
nppnrel. And it was wonderful to see
how the plain homespun became them. We
were particularly struek with the effect which
pas light and a little trimming produced
upon the commonest white e itton osnaburgs
a. d flannel. Only by the closest inspection

j ho that nH it may, wo declare heartily that wo
no/er attended a party where tho ladies* look'
ed hotter, or where both soxo? seemed toonjuy
' themselves more heartily and universal, it
i is true tho fjjontlo ore: turex would have looked

! oilier f inliionable jrewgnwa, but we must di?tin.'uish
betwoen hriliiiiipv mwl ? .?/? 1<

This homespun party Is but the beginning
of tlio end. Otlicr Virginia cloth par tie# will
: follow. The movement must go on. There
, i* no helping It. When our mothers, our
wives, daughters, sisters, sweethearts, load tlio
way, who can refuse to follow ? If any one
trait is stronger than ?nother In tho female
eharaotor, it is that chmiont of porHovernnoe
whioh will not permit thorn to abandon nny
measure they hnvo undertaken, When one*
iMoy put the!? white little hand* in the plough
muy never iHrn oaoK. It In a groxs mistake
to m up pose that houieaphn elolhea will bo worn
otily oh a fancy cowtumo at partiea. They
who think this, know little of tho character
of Virginia ladica. Tho boat, the puroat, the
bravoat blwxj On earth" runs lu their veina.?

Tliey daro do anything, ?avo tliat which w
immodest, to promote the wclfur# of our nohlo
Commonwealth. We .shall we the-ennt homo,
nod on the street, ntnl at clinch, driMed in
linsey-woolsey; and wo hot eelio th" common
sentiment of the city mid of the whole State,
when we say that wo nlinll l??vo tlieni nil tho
more fortius convincing proof of tlu-ir devotion
to a lofty mid patriotic principle.
