The storm says the Journal Of Commerce

at Sing Sing and other places, and the accumu-
lation Of snow on the track threw the trains on
the Hudson River railroad out Of time. The

were from to 10 feet in depth. An extra
cattle train sent from Albany on the previous
night, was oyertaken at Barrytovn, fast in q

The cars and engine were extricated and
switched on, when the express train was en-
abled 70 proceed. Few storms we're more Sc

Albany and Sing Sing was estimated at inshes

WINTER.

For the past few days we have had rough
and bitter winter weather. The season should
NOT be passed by those who have hogs to
kill and ice to gather. 1t bids fair to continue
some time yet. Those who claim to be familiar
with the signs of weather, predict cold old
fashioned winter. If as is said, a large mast
a heavy yield of nuts of different sorts, and q
large persimmou crop are reliable indications,
then. we may expect o rigorous season. sas 81

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF
THE NAVY aaaHsa

We publish today thereport Of the Secretary
of the Navy, to which we invite the attention
of our readers. es !,
In the present critical condition Of affairs,
when all Of the first European powers are en-
gagged in war that, in ali likelihood, viii be
protracted, and when indications are not want
ing to warrant the apprehension that we may
be embroiled in difficulties, we regard all that
concerns the American Navy as Of vital i'm.
Importance, for, in the event Of our becoming so
embroiled, it is notdiffcult TO see that the Navy
would be our main reliance. We have there
fore looked forward to Mr.. Dobbn's report with
much expectation and interest Nor have we
been disappointed in its character 1t is able
and satisfactory 1t presents in the clearest
manner, the condition Of the Navy 1t shows
what is needed in its different departments, and
suggests the adequate measures.
The Secretary expresses the opinion, in
which we concur, that there should be q still
further increase Of the NAVY. The protection
of commerce, the guarding Of our coast, the
preservation Of our rank as o nation, and the
/. trf NY
critical, if not menacing aspect Of affairs, all
concur to render necessary the proposed IN
crease Of our Navy. y AZ &. ,..3a
The Secretary also recurs to the recommen'
dation contained in his last annual message in
favor of a retired list which he enforces with
convincing arguments. There are various
other points in this report to which, we will
hereafter take occasion to refer. 4sagmc 8

ELECTION OF A DELEGATE FROM
We are much grati6ed to learn, from the
following dispatch, that General Whitfield has
been elected .delegateto Congress from the new
Territory Of Kansas. 1t argues we'll for the
new Territory and for the character ofitspopu-
lation, that the incendiary elements that aboll-
ton emigration societies attempted to throw
into il have failed to get the ascendency for
which they ambitiously struggled. It's meet
that Kansas, which owes its organization 70
the prevalence of constitutional doctrines,
should, in its FIRST election, manifest its hos;
tility to the spread, of fanaticism. The DIS
patch is as follows 4. $50 ~ 4 -. -
