Despite all the prognostications of the weather-wise that the present would prove a mild winter, the threats of Wednesday in the chilly air, and the aspect of the clouds and the direotion of the wind, were yes? terday fulfilled by a snow storm which forebodes a winter of extraordinary severity. Our telegraphic weather reports announced that at 9 o'clock, yesterday morning, it was raining* at Richmond; that heavy sleet was fall? ing at Washington; that snow and rain were commingled at Wilming? ton, in Delaware; that it was snowing at Philadelphia as well as in New York; that it was cloudy at Boston and Portland, and olear at Port Hood. In this city, the snow was falling lightly at 1 o'clock in the morning, with a gentle breeze from the North-east, which inoreased to a I gale by 10 o'clock, when the snow > fell thiok and fast, seriously impeding travel and bringing business almost to a stand-still. The tracks of the city railways were cleared by the aid of snow-plows; four horses and two drivers were put on each car, and during the greater part of the day the cars, although reduced in num? ber, made their usual time. Stager, hacks and drays moved with great difficulty, horses frequently slipping and falling in a way the most distress? ing to the sensitive Mr. Rergh. Pe? destrians found the streets difficult to travel, and several persons were run over, narrowly escaping with their lives. Scarcely a lady was to be seen on Broadway; indeed, an army of "street soldiers" would have been invisible at the distance of a block. The wagons of express companies, especially those wnich were over? loaded, and all heavy teams, could scarcely move. The ferry-boats ar? rived punctually only throughout tho earlier part of the day. The railroad trains from Philadelphia and else? where came in safely and on time during the early portion of the day, but in the evening they were all do layed. The furious wind that drove the blinding snow through the air and along the ground spoiled the prospect of an immediate sleighing carnival. When shall we reach so high a degree of civilization as to have-as the Parisiana have, for in? stance, ulong the Rue de Rivoli miles of covered sidewalks? The aggregate sum wasted in spoiled umbrellas, over-coats, over-snoes, ko., within a few months, in New York, would suffice to build piazzas on b*otk sides of Broadway through? out its entire length. [New York Herald, Ut7i. THE METHODIST CENTENARY YEAR. A complete exhibit of the peenniury results of the centenary year in the Methodist Church of America, has been published in the MeOiodist, from which we take a few facts and figures, giving some idea of tho magnitude of the operations, and the thoroughness of thc system of this religions body. The statistical tables include the re? turns of 45 Conferences, stretching over every section of the United States. Tho total amount reported from these 45 Conferences, is nearly 87,000,000. The sums represented by th i different States and Districts, vary considerably-the West having relatively the advantage of the East, which would tend to show larger spread of Methodism. The Cincin? nati Conference, for instance, reports 8400,000 against only $158,000 of the Philadelphia Conference. The largest sums returned from Western Confer? ences, are as follows: Ohio $373,259; Illinois $341,576; Pittsburg$340,695.08; North-western Indiana $108,466; Missouri and Ar? kansas $157,242.69. OUR SOUTHERN GOLD FIELDS. With the return of the Southern States into the Union, their vast me? tallic resources, which have lain dor? mant for five or six years, will again be explored and more actively de? veloped than by the primitive uten? sils and slave labor, whiob, though anterior to the discovery of gold in California, furnished nearly all the gold bullion for our American coin. North and South Carolina stand fore? most as gold-producing States, and some valuable copper mines are now being vigorously worked with great results. A gentleman, formerly a re? sident of California, who is fully conversant with the hydraulic mode of mining, and which is so lucidly described in our Practical Hand-book for Miners, is now at work. "With the introduction of such appliances and experienced and practical min? ers, these mines can be made to yield with even greater results' than here? tofore. The gentleman who bas just returned from North Carolina, has on exhibition, at 39 Vesey street, gold quartz specimens, which are equal to any we have yet seen in the Pacific States, and the quality of tho gold is, if any thing, of a finer grade than that found on the Pacific coast. Some activity seems to bo already I manifest in the Southern States, in securing lands for mining purposes, through accredited agents and ex? perts now traversing over these States. If that be so, we anticipate, ere long, quite au exodus of enter 5rising young men into those States, 'hese impoverished States can tims | be made at once the arena of life and bustle, and with it commerce, manu? factures and agriculture, will once more assume its wonted activity and grandeur. Capitalists who have means to invest can do better (per? haps it were nobler) to venture their money in such enterprises as develop? ing these mines, from which they can readily yield qv.ick and surer returns, than by their gambling in worthless stocks at the mining boards of this city, three-quarters of which papers are based on fraud and swindles. The time for speculations in gold at these boards, too, must soon end, and capital must seek other vents for investment. The gold fields of our Southern States will naturally attract the attention of our moneyed princes. [American Mining Index. WHITE LABOR WANTED.-A San tee planter writes to Gen. J. A. Wa? goner, the Commissioner of Immi? gration, as follows, (we translate the letter from the Zeitung .) "I take the liberty of addressing you, with a view of doing something to induce the introduction of white labor in this vicinity. I have two valuable cotton and provision plantations, land and improvements in the best order. The neighborhood is healthy, and thc land fertile, adapted for nuy crop without the use of any kind of ma? nure. I have from 800 to OOO acres of such land ready to bo cultivated. One of the plantations is now in pro? fitable cultivation with black labor. For the other I wish to get white labor. My plan is somewhat as fol? lows: At first I should like to settle on tho place three or four families, with about ten or twelve laboring persons, and give the superinten? dence to some intelligent German who speaks English, and I would then give him all necessary advice and direction. I am willing to enter upon any agreement, provided that I shall not render myself liable to any losses. There is plenty of wood, good water, and the. buildings are convenient and iu good repair. I could furnish stock, as well as seed, the necessary implements and provi? sions. With twelve good workers, it would be easy to plant fifty acres in rice, ten in long cotton, and ten in corn, peas, turnips, cabbage, &c. The proceeds would be about as fol? lows: 1,250 bushels, at $1.50, $1,875; cotton, 1,500 pounds, at 75 cents, $1,125; corn, peas, potatoes, kc, $500; total, $3,500. This, however, is a very moderate calculation. If this plan should be practicable in your opinion, I shall be ready to give tho most liberal terms in order to make the experiment. The climate, perhaps, oners a difficulty, which, in former times, was considered sickly; in the last few years, however, white people have lived here the whole year, and enjoyed good health."

Read the following testimonials: At Hoyne, near Marietta, Ga., Oct. 10. A. J. Roberts A Co., Atlanta, Ga. Gentlemen: I am well pleased with the result of the HBO of the ''Double Refined Poudre 11 o" on my orops. I tried it on both corn and cotton, and am satisfied wherever it was applied the yield was more than doable what it would nave been without it. I regret exceedingly my not using it more extensively tho present year, but wiR try to make up my loss by purchasing a larger quantity next spring. I regard it as the cheapest, most reliable, and easiest man? aged fertilizer within my knowledge, and cheerfully rocommendit fas I havo tried it thoroughly) to the farmers of this section, and particularly to those planting cotton, from the fact of its causing 'it to mature from ten days to two weeks earlier than it would without the use of the Pondrette. I also used it on my gardon, and found it of muoh benefit to all kinds of plantB. Very respectfully, Ac. G. 8. OGLE8BY. Extract from a letter received from Prof. Martin, of Hampden. Sidney College, Va., dated July 1, 1867: The Double Refined Pondrette is operat? ing like a charm on my crop, and attract? ing universal attention from all beholders. I am already satisfied that it is the cheap? est and BureBt renovator of our worn-out ] lands. - High Shoals, Ga., October 4, 1867. James R. Dey, Esq. Sir: The Double Refined Pondrette I bought for two other parties in connection with myself-one of them used it on cotton and corn, and thinks it answered finely; the other pot it on cotton, on very poor ground, and thinks it doubled his crop. I used it on corn. It answered finely, ami was thought by the band that cultivated the crop to be fully equal to Rhode's Super Phosphate. I also used it on about an acre of cotton, and I am clearly of opinion that it is the best and cheapest fertilizer in use, and I expect to order several tons this winter. Yours, very respectfully, ISAACPOWELL. Ellaville, Schley Co., Ga., Oct. 4,1867. The Double Refined Pondrette, pur? chased of you last spring, I think, in? creased my crop of cotton 150 pounds per acre; put it upon worn-out pine land, at the rate of 200 pounds per acre, drilled in with cotton ?ced. Yours, Ac, S. MONTGOMERY. Salisbury, JV. C., August 10, 1867. James R. Dey, Esq. Lear Sir: i can safely say that your Double Refined Poudretto is "far superior to any other fertilizer for cotton; for I have given it a fair trial this season. Yours, JEHU FOSTER, JR. Savannah, Ga., Septeniber 25, 1867. James R. Dey, Esq., President. Dear Sir: I asea tho Double Refined Pondrette, bought of you last spring, on corn. I think it increased the yield one half. I consider it an excellent manure. Respectfully, T. HOLCOMBE. Ridgeway. S. C., September 21, 1867. Mr. James R. Dey. Sir: I applied the Double Refined Pon? drette by itself, and in combination with other fertilizers, on cotton, and am pleased with it; so much so that it is my present intention to purchase a larger supply of you the next year to apply to my cotton crop. Yours very respectfully, HENRY C. DAVIS. Rocky Mount, Edgec?mb Co., X. C. Xov 13. James R. Doy Esq. Sir: In reply to your inquiry of the re? sults of oar experience in the usc of your improved Pondrette-purchased of you for ] this year's cotton crop-wo would beg leave to say that the present season has been ono quite unfavorable to the action of all fertilizers. Several kinds of manures were used by us. with the exception of your Poudrette, with little or no effect to tho crop. Where the Pondrette was used, it gave us near half a balo more per acre, and caused the cotton to open much earlier; and wo would, therefore, recommend tho samo as a concentrated manure for the gr. wtb of cotton, as well as improvement to ho soil.
