SNOW STORMS.

This city and the neighboring country have
been visited by a series of the heaviest snow
storms known in this section of the Union for
menced on Friday at noon, continued to fall
throughout that day and until late hour of the
night, leaving the ground covered to the depth
Of six or eight inches. On Saturday, little
before noon, second storm commenced, and
the snow fell with little or no intermission dur
ing that day and night and Sunday-adding
some ten or twelve inches more to that already
on the ground.
Several of the churches, we understand, were
closed on Sunday in consequence of the depth
OF the snow and heaviness Of the Storm
Yesterday the sleigh bells were jngng very
merrily, and every vehicle having runners was
brought into requistion.
The Rail Roads have been blocked up with
snow, so that many members of Congress failed
10 reach the city in time for the organization OF
Congress. Many were detained all of Friday
night in the cars near Elkton. On Sunday, we
learn that train Of cars left Baltimore at | /
O'Clock, drawn by four locomotives Yester-
days train reached here about two O'Clock bring
ing members sufficient, it is presumed, to form
quorum to- day.
The snow has of course confused the mails
and none, we believe, has been received in this
Alexandria and Norfolk on the other, since last
Saturday, with the exception of part Of one
mail from Pittsburgh

VIRGINIA ELECTORS.

The College of Electors assembled on "Wednesday
in the Capitol and cast the vote of Virginia for Martin
Van Buren, and Richard M. johnson. Arthur Smith
Of Isle of Wight voted for Mr.. Polk Of Tennessee fo
Vice President instead of Col. Johnson. As neither
Johnson nor Polk were voted FOR by the people, Mr.
Smith probably felt himself at liberty to indulge hi.
fancy in this matter
This barren victory is the last that Loco Focoism
will have to boast of in Virginia. and from the aspect
Of the Electors almost induced TO believe that
even they wished they had been spared the moriica
ton of having to do vain thing amidst the jeers
the town. The Wing wags made themselves merry
at the blank cartrdes long faces and dismal looks OF
the Van Buren, College. A merry journey home
Gentlemen Electors When next you convene at the
Seat Of Government, may it be occasion and for
purpose calculated TO impar more comfort to your
selves, and more benefit to your country.
Does any verify believe that these Electors, in
thus giving the vote Of Virginia to Van Buren, and
Johnson represented the true wish Of the real consti-
tutional suflrages of Virgin.aa We do not for one
They were however bound to vote for Mr. Van Blu
We far from blaming them, for that. But
