quentiy occurred here, andi presume in every
other State, when, notwithstanding writ of err
ror, the party suing it out is undergoing the SEN
fence OF the Court, pending the writ. The judg-
Inent IS not stayed or suspended by the writ Of
error; although on final revisal he will be dis
charged. In capital case, it is true, this can
not happen but the principle ofthe law is the
same. a proper respect for the Supreme Court;
proper regard for human life; a proper, reluc-
lance to shed human blood, while the right was
doubtful and sub 3udice, should, undoubtedly in

Georgia chooses to take upon herself the respon-
slbIlity oil destroying a human being under such
circumstances, she has al least legal right TO
do so, she violates no provision OF the Consttu-
lion, no law OF the United States; she does not
thereby put herself in state ofhostility with the
United States''

would not be understood TO say that the princi-
pies asserted in the Georgia resolutions are not
IN hostility with the powers ofthe federal govern
ment and her constitutional duties. The Su-
preme Court has an unquestonable right TO issue
awrit OF error to State Court, in a criminal
case; but If, notwithstanding such writ, the State
goes on toeXecute her Judgment, she does not
thereby violate the Constitution or laws of the
Union nor does she SO, by refusing or neglecting
TO appear on the citation. When, however, she
discIaims the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court,
ever tue judgments of her criminal courts, she
asserts an exemption from the federal power,
which does not belong to her. The doctrines she
holds are unconstitutional, but in this case they
cannot bring her into collision 18th the authority

THE WEATHER-MA &C.
On Friday last we had heavy fall of snow
which has afforded good sleighing ever since;-
quite en- unusual thing here. In the neighbor-
hood of aynesborough, we learn that the snow
was over two feet deep on level, and that the
road through Rock-fsh gap had been literally
filled up with the drift We had no mail from
" ashington or Richmond till Wednesday. from
the Thursday preceding. Eir. w. Fisher, of
this county, lost horse in crossing tie noun
tam on Saturday. hollow along the road being
hiied up with snow the horse got into it and was
completely buried alive We regret to learn
also that the stage-driver who brought the mail
from Charlottesville TO Mr Coxe's tavern. dur
ing the storm, had his hands so frozen that it is
believed they will have 10 be amputated
Since the fall Of snow the weather has been
extremely coId and we have never heard such
an outcry for wood, as there was for day or
two IN our town, before 1t reminded us of
the cry for ''water'' in DR. Harney's tescrip
ton OF universal drought. Storms Of this cha
racter are so unusual, and the roads had been
so mirey for some time previous, that most Of
the inhabitants were unproYided for it.
