HE RECENT COLD WEATHER. Our EXCHANGES
bring us deplorable intelligence of the destruction
TO the growing crops, caused by the recent cold
weather. According 20 the accounts, vast quaint.
ties of corn and cotton ave been DESTROYED In
South Carolina the injury is so sr lat that mo, E
than one-half of the cotton must be repanted. The
same applies TO Georgia and Virginia. This will
make the next yield Of cotton very precarious. At
the North the damage is confined to the peach, Of
which, in prol az lily, we shall have but scant
crop this year. These accounts, however, sho nd
be received with some grains Of allowance.

On the return OF those members, therefore, will
depend whether the wings will have a majority in
the next House of Representatives. If the demo.
Gratis continue to gain as they have gained since
the Presidential election, it will be extremely
doubtful whether the wings will have majority.
The elections in those States will be very interest
ing, and the whgswill, no doubt, strain every nerve
to obtain preponderance

LATER FROM New GRANADA.-By private adj
vices received from Santa Marta to the Nth
of March, we understand that the pres,den.
tial election in New Granada had resulted in
the choice of General Hilario Lopez. The port of
Savanilla had been made port of entry, which
will be great accommodation to all that country
between the ports of Santa Marta and Carhagena.
which was devoid of any cusem-house facilities.

dawned upon us. Men begin to see through the
illusion of mighty names. After all, now
little did those men, and others, VINO once
figured so largely the stage, accomplish
in the great work of human progress! A few good
speeches-two or three keen encounters In the
halls of Congress-a dozen excellent State papers
such is the sum of the brief and insignificant
record But throughout all that time, at thousands
of quiet fresides, in the workshops, and in the
silent fields, the true heroes Of their age were en-
psyed in advancing the fortunes of the republic and
of liberty throughout the world. Many an hum
bic editor, "alike TO fortune and to fame unknown"
then employed in abors infinitely more
full and productive than any in which these ''illus-
trious" individuals were engaged. We are not to
lock for the truly great in the lists of nominal
ing conventions or party caucuses. Leading po-
lltcians are generally behind their age. With rare
exceptions they are the mere hirelings of party.
1t were easy to point to many who occupy at this
moment prominent position in the ranks Of both
political parties in this country who owe their ee
walton not to superior intellectual ability-not to
genuine patriotsm-not to purity of character; but
to craft dupliclty, piancy, and in some cases, per-
severng the practice of those arts which are well
characterized in the Chinese language, as "labo-
rious yileness.'
Through all this system of mposture, the people
begin to see. The election of the present Chief
Magistrate of the United States, was triumph
over the old party tactics, by which the creatures
of caucuses were forced upon the people No man,
who wishes well to the republic, will refuse to
unite in deprecating the corruptng party organza-
tons which have heretofore given the highest
Offices of the country to their tools and favo-
rites. Let the mass of American freemen awake
to full sense of the duties of citizenship, and the
''great statesmen of the next age" will not be taken
from the ranks of mere party leaders.

CANADIAN MATrERs.-Our readers will find, in
this days Herald, an interesting letter from oul
Montreal correspondent which, in addition to other
intelligence, contains the address of the British
American League, an organization framed for the
purpose of promoting combined action in relation
to the affairs of the British American colonies.
The last paragraph of the address, it will be per-
ceived, was not adopted without great opposition,
and it may at any time be repudiated
We very much fear that the people of Canada do
not know how to act in the crisis in which they
are placed. They have glorious opportunity of
freeing themselves of the yoke of Great Britain,
and of becoming either an independent nation or
ortion of the great American confederacy. The
American people watching, with great interest,
for the action which the Governor of Canada will
axe on the Rebellion Loss bill.

EXTENSIVE EMDEzzLENENr.-It is with the ut
most pain that we are this morning compelled to
record case which will produce, no doubt, much
surprise In the public, mind generally, and will be
q source of unqualified regret to The immediate
friends of the person implicated The individual
to whom we refer is William X. Stiles, gentleman
we'll known in this community as incumbent of the
Office of Collector of State Taxes for the Fourth
Representative District. In holding this response
bic situation, vast amount Of funds must neces-
sarily have passed through his hands, and we are
grieved to say that he now stands charged with
not having appropriated them to their legitimate
uses, but is accused of having embczzlcd the large
sum of S2S,0l9. This morning, Mr.. John duncan.

OF the securities on Mr.. Stes's bond, made aAda-

ANOTHER ORGAN AT WAsHINaToN.-As we stated
some weeks since, Mr.. Gideon, job printer at
Washington, is about to start another wing organ,
to be edited by Messrs. Bullitt 81 Sergeant. 1t is
intended to ''head off, the old Intaiigcncer which
is superanuated and manageable. That paper
will be the pioneer in the great movement to con-
struct the republican party" of which we have
heard good deal of speculation and conjecture.
There WILL of course, be desperate struggle be-
tween the wing organs for the patronage of the
government, without which none of them can live.
1t is not unlikely that by union of the democrats
and old wings, the spoils may be divided between
the hteAgencer and the Union. However, it is not
matter of much consequence. Washington organs
not of any value to any party. They are not
seen except by two or three hundred office holders
and the unfortunate editors whose duty it is to look
over the exchanges. Nobody expects to get any
information from them, except so far as they may
indicate the designs and policy of the little cliques
by which they are controlled.
