Cold Winters?In the year 400 the
E ixino was covered with ice lor 10 days.
11 139 the Adriatic was covered with ice,
b a for what length of time docs not appear.
In the Thames was frozen over for
10 weeks : the same river was also frozen
over 1793, 17G-3,and 1773-8. Several times
since the same his happened. The winter
of 1383 was so severe in Europe, that trees
"were split by the lrosf. Loaded sledges
passed on tlio ico from Uoston to Nantucket
in the winter of 1797?S, and have done
the same one or two winters since. On the
12lh of Due. 1834, the frost in New Eng1
mJ was so intense, that the trees were kil!' '!.
A fall of snow took place in February,
1717, so deep that the people in Dos.on
had to get out of their chamber windows.
Cloven hundred sheep perished on Fisher's

snow. Two were found alive after a lapse
of 2S days, tlicy having supported themselves
by chewing the wool of others. In
1780, the Chesapeake was covered with ice
as far as tiie mouth of the Potomac. In
the same year, troops of horse and heavy
cannon crossed on the iec from New York
to Stated Island, and Long Island Sound
was nearly covered with ice. Almost ail
the birds yf the fores! perished.
Longevity" among Printers.?A kite
French periodical contains the fo'lowing interesting
calculations :
In twen'y.three printing offices in Paris,
there were noticed in each, printers whose"
40 fn 70 Years. An
1 (lll^VU II VIII %vr .W
nged master printer asserted that he lind
known more than fifty compositors or pressmen
who had passed their sixtieth year.
Among thiry five persons engaged in one
office, one third ranged from 4-3 to 70
years of age. A printer who worked in
an office a few years ago, said there were,
out of 40 workmen, 23 whose ages ranged
from 50 to 70. This office was very
appropriately termed imprimcrie des birbossier*,
or " the printing office of grey
'heads.'* There are IS printers now workdog
in Paris, of whom seven are seventy
venrs of age, one eighty and ano'lier 82.
A printer worked in the office of Didot
the younger, un'ii his death, when he was
86 years of age, and another continued to
work un il the age of 84. Among the
deaths in Paris in one year there were
twenty-five printers, whose ages varied from
-65 to 7S years ; and among the returns
from the hospital for the aged, the death
vol four printers was announced, whose
-ages wjro respectively, 64, GO, 73, and 73.
An Extraordinary Offer.?A short
time since we had occasion to call the attention
of our readers to the astonishing in
volition of the " New Patent Combination
Lock," by S. Andrews, of Perth Amboy.
AVe have heard experienced men confirm
ilie remarks we then made, and are more
than ever convinced that nothing short of a
steam engine power can force admission into
an iron chest fiutenod by is wards and
"ho! s. So confident is Mr. A. in the security
of his locks, that he has placed on iron chest
iu our Exchange, containing live hundred
dollars, which he otters as fa reward to any
one who is a Me to unlock it. We predict

ingenuity.?VliiL Inq.

Mr. \\ right moved to take up the bil! rc

Mr. Clay said. before voting on this motion,;
lio wished to inmiiro of the Senator wliother it j r
was hit- mivd 1 .hat the bill should pass in its (
present shape, or that protected articles should ; t
be stricken from it. fie believed the Senate j 1
i generally would agree to a reduction of the uu-) 1
tics o?i all except protected artic'js. i
Mr. Wright said it was impossible to an- r
swer this (juestton. He merely wished the I;
Senate to take up the bill and act. upon it, as I
they should think proper. He had no itistruc- i i
tions from the committee, and lie was not 1
prepared himself to move to strike out any part' j
ol the hill. ! i
Mr. Calhoun said he believed there would j
be no dispute about the reduction o:i a large i ]
proportion of the articles: the others would be i
indicated by the discussion on the bill. <
Mr. Wright said if the subject was donbtful
in the minds of a majority of the Senate, he
was not disposed to worry the body. He
* -? V .ii
would regard a refusal to taue up me mn now
as amounting' to a refusal to act upon it at the
present sesstion.
" Mr. Clay said lie should certainly vote for
taking up the bill now, after what Mr. \V. had j
: said. i
' The question on taking up the bill was
now tried, and carried i:i the affirmative, as j
follows :
Yeas?Messrs. Bayard, Benton, Black, j
Brown. Calhoun, Liay, Clayton, Cutlibcrf, Da'
vis, Kwing, of Illinois, Fnlton, Grundy, Hendricks,
Hubbard, King, of Ala. King, of Georgia,

Nays?Messrs. Buchanan, Kent, McXcan,

Mr. Wright laid before the Senate a letter;
I from Kellicott & Co., on the manufacture of
1 chemicals. [The bill proposes to admit them
i . -]
; ixvt" ui iiiu i . i
Mr. Sevier wished to except the articles of
; calomel, quinine and salts as being the only ;
ones in which his constituents had an inter- ,
i est; they took large quantities of them.
The question being put separately on stri- j
king out these, (i. e. retaining the present
, duty upon them.) it was decided in the ncga- j
five. j
, So they were retained in the bill as free of j
duty.
Mr. Davis moved to strike out the words 1
! ? worsted yarn."
j Mr. Norvell demanded the yeas and nays,
in order that, as thus might be considered a test
question, whether the Senate would or would ;
I not interfere with the compromise, the opin- I
i ions of Senators on that subject might be as-1
I certained. They were ordered accordingly, i
i and stood as follows:
Yeas?Messrs. Bayard, Black, Buchanan,.

the article was stricken out, the duty
retained, and the principle laid down in the i'

Santa Fe Bridge, Feb. 21.
Dear Sir: I presume you have received inlligence
of an engagement on the 27th ult
'tween Gen. Jesup and a large party of Inans,
when a number of the enemy with the::
mines were taken prisoners, and many no ocs,
cattle, &c. were captured : also the vontary
appearance of some of tiie chiefs, whr
ated their desire to bury the tomahawk, and
tat if permitted, they would go out and bring
. all the warriors, to have a talk and make
nice. Upon this promise Gen. Jesup gave
tern until the 20th past, to meet him and
imply. The express rider from that place
is just passed, and informs us that 93 Indians
id come i:i: among the number were Mica>py
or Jumper, (lie knew not which) bind
Irani, and one or two other chiefs; the leans
were coming in slowly, and bringing
juc of their families; that Gen. Jesup had exnded
the time until the 27th inst. and if the}
id not all come in by then, lie would continue
itli renewed vigor his scourge upon them.?
doubt much whether they will all come in
ic fact of their not bringing with them theii
milieu, is quire suspicious as to tlieir real inntion;
for it is well known they will sacrifice
,-cry.thing, rather than have their women
id children taken. Some may yield, but there
*e others, not inconsiderable in number, thai
ill not.
About two weeks since a large party of In.
ans, supposed to be between and -100, al.cked
Tort Monroe; after several hours fightg
they were repulsed. Only 1 white was
lied, and 14 wounded; the number of Indians
lied not known, as they were borne off.
The live companies from South Carolina
e still separated; Capt. Brown and Lieut,
/illiarnson's at St. Augustine, Capt. Durant's
Volusia. Major J [art he, with Capt. Blakeiv's
and Pearce's companies, are yet here,
do not know what disposition will soon lie
ado of us; it is probaLle the five companies
ill be concentrated here, and ordered lo scour
0 adjoining country. A party of Indians is
id to be in our vicmitv; we have seen some
ails, hut no Indians. If the Indians all come
by the 27th inst. I suppose wc will be dislarged
before our term of service expires;
t tliis is not probable.
1 did suppose that Carolina's sons were cai[1
a distance of live hundred miles to fight;
assist in scourging a savage foe ; but I did
it expect we would he called this distance,
id then plunged m tip to our waists in mud
id wa?rr, that we might arrive at a place
icro it might be considered necessary by
me for us to perform the menial task of buildy
a picket and block houses. And this too.
a barren wilderness, where nought but the
wling wolf visits our nightly repose. This
ly all be law, and this may be "right, but

to remain. Large numbers of Indians were
reported as being in the vicinity of Mosquito.
Thus ends another truce farce.

Jesup had sent to Garey's Ferry for 400 horses
to renew the Campaign, the Chiefs not having
come in according to agreement, and that the
Steamer Forrester, had been despatched to
Savannah on Saturday last.

THE WAII NOT ENDED VET !
On Saturday night last, information was reI
ccived from Gen. Jesup's Camp, at Dado's
Battle Ground, and we regret to state, that it

would re-commence hostilities. Abont one
hundred Indians had been in the Camp, and

} egress. On Saturday night last Gen. Hernandez's
two negroes, Aleck and Stephen, who
, ' were taken by Indians in May last, returucd,
haviug effected their escape on hor?cbacl*

I\i.^USlU.>, ^ 'UlU.y .??.Ur. i...
You have already heard of the difiicul:
ties between the British Government and
P the It'pubic of New Grenada, on account
': of the insult made to Mr. Itussel, British
\ ice Consul at Panama.
Tito commander of H. M. naval forces
(after orders received from England) sent
! a vessel of v .r to Carthagcna to demand
j satisfaction, because the authorities of Pa.
1 naniti had first imprisoned Mr. Russcl, and
' ' after imprisoning him had not reins!,rod
' him, and in consequence of a robbery to the
! I amount of one thousand pounds commi led
in .Mr. ltussel's liouse while in prison. It
. scents that the (lovernment of New-Grena>
i da, refused to submit to the demand promul1
gated in the letter of the Minister cf foreign
afiairs (Mr. Liui do Pombo.)
Since 'his we have had a flaming procla(!nation
from tlie President Francisco de
; Paula Samandcr, calling on the Now Greni
adians io he readv to fight the troops of
I rr^? 1
'Great Britain. Tii.s circumstance male's
.'every one laugh. General Samandcr is
well known to he the greatest coward in all
New Grenada and was the otilyono of all
the Columbian officers that behaved like a
coward at the battle of Boyacn.
I? is reported here that orders were received
from home, in ease the required satislaction
was not immediately given to pre.
I pare an expedition from this island to Pa.
n;imn V f'risf sriiliunr SlooD of War was
1 i sent to England with tiic answer of the
' | Government of Ncvv-Grcuada. I have not
the least doubt that the British Government
contemplate talcing posession of Panama,
. i and that they mean to keep it, sp pears eer ;
tain. Why should they not ? Did not the
> French take possession of Algiers for an in5
suit on their Consul ? Can't we do the same ?
?One regiment and two or three small
j vessels of war is all we want. I shall let you
j! hear more on the subject before long.
, j All the ports of New-Grenada are in a
, , state of blockade.

; CHARLESTON AND CINCINNATI RAIL ROAD.
: A Louisville paper says:
"The Rail Road bill lias passed the House
ot Representatives of this State. By it. the
charter of the Cincinnati and Charleston
Rail Road Company is so amened as to make
Lwington the terminus, for the present.?
It repairs the Company, whenever tlicy inay
extend the main stem, north of Lexington, towards
Newport or Covington, to construct the
branches simultaneously to Maysville and Louisville.
"We are, now confident Cincinnati and
Charleston will accomplish their object. Let
them goon, with the aid of Lexington. The
Cincinnati and Charleston Company will not
extend tiic work north of Lexington, but a
j new Company will do it, and thus the proi
vision as to the construction of the Maysville
and Louisville branches, will become a dead
' letter upon our statute book.',

Muder.?On Saturday night last, a negro,
by the name of Boyer, belonging to Mrs. Grice
of Sampson County, was stabbed in t lie left
i breast, by a negro man named Bryaff,' and
died in a few minutes. Bryan was t aken on
! Saturday, and is now in Jad to await his trial.

Jail Ilrolxn.?The Jail of this County was
! broken open on Saturday night, and several
prisoners escaped, among them, a man named
1 Ransom who was committed on a charge of
having murdered his wife. There is no doubt
j the prisoners were aided by some person supplying
them with tools by which meafts they
effected their escape.?I'a.
THE PHAETON.
On the 2:2nd ult. a Committee of the Republicans
of the city of New York, waited on
the President of the United States, and presented
to him the phaeton made of the wood
j of the Frigate Constitution. Jt is represented
to be light and convenient, and of superior
workmanship, and that three thousand dollars
would be required to remunerate the builder

England. Parliament was to meet Jan. 31,
and tiie -Ministerial members had been summoned
by Lord John Russell, to be punctual in
their attendance on that day. The pressure in
the money market continued, apparently with
little change. The Cotton market continued
steady, and the sales extensive, with no ma<
terial change in prices. The common and
middle quality of American had been most irt*'
demnnd, and they had established a slight ad.

The Boston Daily Advertiser says : ' Captain
Crocker, of the ship Nantasket, reports
that information had reached Liverpool, of the

Interesting Trial.?A case of much interest
was tried at East Cambridge, Mass. cn Wednesday,
15th inst. It was an action of slani

is a mechanic, who came to this country in
1S21), and resided at Lowell. The defendent,

Louisville, Cincinnati and Charleston Roil
! Road.?Major McNeill, the chief Engineer of
i this Road, arrived here a few days since, in
j the steam boat from Norfolk, and having pre*
viously signified his acceptance of the appointment,
entered promptly upon the important
duties of his office. We understand that after
1 frequent interviews with the President and
i Directors in this place, and with Col. Elmore*
one of the Directors resident in Columbia, a
! plan of operations was adopted, which Major
i McNeill will carry immediately into effect.?
i The chief Engineer will forthwith organize
such brigades of Engineers as may be found
necessary for the purpose of entering at once
upou the survey of all the line of Road indicated
by the Company, at their late meeting in
Knoxville, and such other lines, as may appear
. to possess peculiar advantages. Major McNeill
has proceeded accordingly to the North,
, to assist Mr. Drayton, (who had already been
despatched to New York and Philadelphia for
that purpose) in procuring the requisite sup;
ply of instruments of the best description. As
" J scon as the necessary arrangements can be
made, Major McNeill will return here, and
the several Brigades of Engineers all at
once take the field, and commence their operations.
It is hoped that the surveys and estimates
will be completed in time to enable the Cozcrmnv.
nt tlioir nieetin'-r in October next, to es
J._., c
tablish tho route and commence the work.
The acquisition of such a man as Ma], McXei'l,
who lias constructed more Rail Roads,
and with mare success than any man in America,
and perhaps in the world, is most fortunate
for the Company, and augurs, well lor
the success of the cntcrprize. We are informed
that he enters with great zeal into the
undertaking, and is confident of success.
