ICE SCENE ON THE MIssIssIPpI.-The style in
which this noble stream bears her icy fetters, is
thus graphically painted i'll the St. Louis Repub-
lican of the 18th of ultimo:
The RIvER.-One can hardly conceive a more
chill and cheerless scene, than that presented by
the Mississippi, opposite to city, at this pres
ent writing. Along the landing, from the one
extremity to the other, steamers of every class
are bound up in ice, and appear as desolate an(
uncomfortable can be imagined. Here and
there light wreath of smoke curls laziIv up from
a stove pipe, or some half frozen wight goes
shlvering. cringing along, evidence that all life
is not yet utterly extinct Nearly half way to
the opposite side flows clear-blue, icy looking
current, with an aspect gloomy as the fabled
Styx. And surely if a man survived plunge in.
to its depths, he might stand chance of invul-
nerability ever after. Beyond this swift rushing
strip OF water, commences again the piled uE
fragments of ice, extending with little interrup.
ton to the opposite band. The Island seems
complete mass of ice; and we defy Greenland to
present more desolate scene. In fact, the win.
ter is upon its power. Look where you please
the only idea derived, is that of coldness-nto
cradle coldness.

One of the Houston papers has published an
ingenious remonsrance of the bachelors of Tex
as, addressed to 'the most beautiful and the most
lovely--thc most accomplished, and fairest of the
fair, alas the 5000 young ladies of Boston, who
have pettioned Congress against the annexation
of Texas to the Union.' The residents declare
that they are mortified at this opposition of the
young ladies of Boston, inasmuch as it shows a
disposition to oppose union of more domestic
nature. The remonstrants are bachelors in Tex
as, without one woman to hundred men, and
it is that thought which embitters the course the
young ladies Of New England have adopted to-
wards them. In conclusion, they add that Texas
IS, perhaps, the only country on the face Of the
earth, where proper estimation is set on ladies'

PETITIONS! PEr,TIoSs!!-Who are in the
work, upholding the hands of our friends,
and the friends Of the slave, in Congress 2
Now is the time to decide the question
which decides the fate of this guilty, blood
stained nation. Those who grind their
despoiled victims in the dust, and would
trample down all who sympathize with
them, are growing desperate. They ruth
lessly trample on.our rights, in the persons
of our representatives, setting at defiance
laws and constitutions. To "down with
the abolitionists". is an end that they will
make sanctify any and every foul means
that will promise them It's accomplishment,
This accusation is fully justified BY the
late infamous and atrocious gag-law, in the
shape Of resolution, passed by the House
of REPRESENTATIVES Let this be submitted

Let petitions be circulated, then, without
delay, in every town and village. Let II
not be considered enough that you circulat,

was not altogether lost, If you G0iH noW

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE.
The Senate being full on tho 23d inst, the
resolution suspending operations on the North ,rn
railroad was taken up. After a warm debate,
and after an amendment, limiting the time of
suspension to twenty days had been adopted, the
resolution itself was lost, yeas 6, nays 10.
The Senate then took up the resolution sus-
pending operations on the Southern Railroad.
Much debate and much excitement was elected
Mr.. BRADFORD took very warm and active
part in favor of suspending operations. An a.
mendment was adopted limiting the suspension
to 80 days; and the resolution as finally passed
by the Senate, yeas 8. nays q, the 1t. Governor
voting in the affirmative.
We hope we shall soon find out who are and
who are not the friends to tho interests of the
north and the south.
Mr.. Bradford has immortalized his name, and
we shall begin to think that the heavy majority
given against him at the last election, in his own
town and county means something.
