The winter in the far Northwest has been So
we're one. The Milwaukee Sentinel states that a
gentleman who left Lake Superior about the goth
of March reports the snow at Copper Harbor from
ten TO fourteen feet deep, and along the head
waters of the streams flowing into Bay de Noquet
eight to ten feet deep. He describes the winter
as altogether the severest ever known, and the
quantity of snow that has fallen is almost incre-
dible

KossUTH IN AUGUsrA.-Nothmg "lMaterial"
Mr. Kossuth and his suite arrived at Augusta Oil
Friday last by the train from Atlanta, on his way
North, as we learn from the Chronicle of Satur~
day. That paper states that Kossuth, with the
view, we suppose, of giving the people time to
prepare for him IA grand reception,) .'had tele-
graphed the proprietor of the United States Hotel
to have ia readiness suite of rooms for him, but
when he reached the railroad depot, and found no
reception, not even crowd of anxious faces to
see and welcome him, he very wisely determined
that the prospect of material aid was not hatter-
ing, and therefore concluded not to remain, but
take the first train for Charleston, which he did.
having remained in the city about an hour. His
presence produced not the least excitement, and
did not call forth the slightest demonstration. So
much for the patriotism and real, genuine Ameri-
cansm of the Intelligent citizens of Augusta"

The Deficiency Bill which recently passed the
House of Representatives, has been reported to
the Senate, and was Under discussion on Friday
last. Mr.. Hunter admitted the necessity of pass
ing the bill, but said that the appropriations were
injudiciously managed, and that there were "evils
in the SYSTEM" which ought to be remedied.-
Many of these evils, he said had been inherited by
the present Administration from its prede-
cessors and they had not lost any thing by
falling into the hands of the present Administra-
ton.
Mr.. Underwood replied promptly, that it was
wrong to hold the Administration responsible
for the many errors and abuses complained of
when, in fact, Congress, and not the Administra-
ton, was responsible for the the most of them
He said the great evil of the ineffciency of the
clerical corps engaged in the Departments, the
Senator must not attribute to the present Ad-
ministration, but to-that SUSTAIN ofremoval from
office which had been commenced by the Sena,
tors own political party.
Mr. Hale said that the idea of attempting to
reform abuses at this time was an idle ONE
Did gentlemen think that the Democratic party,
which was the dominant one in Congress, would
reform any fthese abuses now! They will do
no such thing. They may condemn them, but
they will allow them to continue that their
friends may have the use and enjoyment of
them.
What say Mr.. Hale's democratic friends to
that suggestion !--Aler. Gaz.
