The Georgia Block of Marble and Its In
scriptfOn.

We took occasion a year ago to refer to the very
cxceptonab!e inscription caused by Governor
Towns to be placed on the block of marble to be
presented by the State of Georgia to the Washing
ton Monument Of this city. The following pream-
bic and resolution, signed by the Speaker of the
House and President Of the Senate Of the Legisla-
of that State received the official signature Of
the present Governor Of Georgia on the 3lst cr
January, 1851:
"'Whereas information has been received by the
members OF this House, and is believed to be cor
rect, that block of marble transmitted to the
Washington Monument by the late Governor of
this State, donation from the State of Georgia,
under and by virtue of a resolution passed by the
General Assembly, February, 1860, and that his
cXcellency caused to be inscribed upon the said
block OF marble the following words: The Consti-
tuition as it is; the Union as it was;' and whereas
the said inscription does not truly express the
tments OF the people of Georgia, and is deemed an
unbecomng tribute TO the memory of the Eather
OF his Country:
"Be IL resolved by the Senate and House of Repre-
scntatires, That the Governor be and he hereby
authorized and requested to withdraw the said
block Of marble from the Washington Monument,
and TO another 10 be prepared Of Georgia
marble, and 10 have inscribed thereon the arms OF
the State Of Georgia, and to have the same con-
veyed to Washington, and placed at the disposal
of the Building Committee of the National Monu
mont to the memory Of Washington"

Thr-weather and the Mails,

The late heavy snow has had the effect to inter-
rupt and delay the mails in every direction. The
Baltimore S," of yesterday says:
"The Washington train, due at eight O'Clock
yesterday morning, did not arrive until about
eleven O'Clock 1t brought however, all the back
southern mails, with datcs from New Orleans rs
late as due. The train from Washington, due at
seven o'clock last night, arrived about eight, but
brought no mail beyond Alexandria; and the cars
from Annapolis also failed to connect with it at the
Junction. The New York mails due yesterday
morning, and the one from Philadelphia due at
three O'Clock in the afternoon, had arrived at
late hour last night. Our latest dates from New
York by regular mail are, therefore, only to Sat
urday afternoon, and from Philadelphia to Satur-
day night. The Western train came in last even
ing an hour behind the usual time, but brought no
mail from beyond Cumberland.
Up. 5. We learn that at three O'Clock yesterday
afternoon the passengers in the train from Phila
delphia yesterday morning had crossed the Sua-
quehanna and ofcourse expected to reach this city
last night. The snow had drifted SO during the
day that il would have been quite as difficult to
have returned towards Philadelphia as come this
way"
