Exciting News from Austin.

We learn from friend, who arrived di- rectly through from Austin Texas} this morning that at the moment he left. that city was ill a state of the highest excitement which had been known there, or indeed in any part of the State, for many years. It had been caused by most audacious attempt to outrage, or at least to override, the law, by parties charged with having been con- cerned in the burning down of the Auditor s office, reports of which deed cur readers will recollect having read a short time since.
 Hynes, who was some time ago arrested on the charge of having actually committed the offence, offered to turn States evidence. and in his subsequent revelations implicated Blankenship and Lewis as parties to the deed The Sheriff of Austin thereupon attempted to arrest the former at Waco, but was pre- vented by the citizens of the place, who. however, pledged themselves that he should make his appearance in Austin, at the ap- pointed time, to answer the charge Lewis appearance was in like manner guaranteed. On Sunday evening last, accordingly. Mon day having been fixed as the day for examina- i tion, Lewis rode into town, accompanied by about twenty of his friends, all very heavily armed with double -barreled guns. revovers, and bowie-kniyes. On the following morn- ing, just before the stage left Austin for Gal- weston, BlanlSenship also came into the capi- tai, in like manner escorted by some thirty of his friends, similarly armed, and publicly declaring that all the sherifs in Texas could not arrest him, although they professed them selves willing that he should undergo an ex- animation before magistrate l. is sup posed that a similar body af men was never before seen so heavily armed as these were.
 Very great excitement was crused by their high-handed attempts to override the law and the authorities, the whole city feeling out ragged and indignant at them. Numbers of the oldest, most respectable, and most infu- -ential inhabitants had been so thoroughly aroused, as to be arming to aid in carrying the law into effect, if they should be needed. The sheriff himself was suppenaing a posse of fifty men and arming them, to enable them to arrest Blankenship, when the stage left. It was understood that he was determined and would be able to effect this, and that he had further resolved on not allowing any of the armed men accompanying the accused to at tend in the Court House, unless they should be needed as witnesses. There was no telling however, how the affair would end.

!, RAILROADS AND THE WEATHER. The brit 'ieness imparted to iron by extreme cold has caused great irregularities in the running of railway trains, and occasioned great expense snee the setting in of the cold season. The Boston 1rareller says:
 :" The present month has been trying one Tor the railroads, indeed it's equal has not been eSSperienced in this vicinity. The expenses or running have been enormous, far exceed ing, in many cases, the receipts; and, it is = stated, that had the railroads leading from boston wholly suspended operations for the past four weeks, they would have been better N now that they would have actually made noney by keeping perfectly still.
 On all the railroads locomotives are al- most daily disabled, and the machine shops are running day and night to make repairs. 2n some of the roads, six or eight machines
