On account of the excessive cold weather,
for the last seventy days, there has been
some irregularity in the arrival of the mails,
both East and South. We have only Won
dered that they have come as regularly as
they have. In number Of instances dri-
vers have been badly frozen. We think
our citizens have no good reason Of COM

TIE Know Nothing party is hopelessly
divided, not only upon the slavery test Tre"
senied 5v the 18th section OF the PhItadel-
pnia Platform, but also upon the catholic
test as enunciated in the 9Th section Of the
same programme. There are now, therefore,
three divisions of Know nottingham, each
having distinct platform and having little
more in common, than name. The result
will be that Black Republicans will absorb
the aEti-twelfth section zen; and those who
like Mr.. Eustis, II. G. from Louisiana, regard
the 9Th section Of the Philadel phia Platform
as INDUSTRIOUS will fall into the Democratic
party The other fragment will continue to
wander through the political ornament seek
ing in vain for political sympathetic attrac-
ton. Such is the end OF Know Nothing1sm.

Between forty and fifty Democratic men,
bess OF the House met in caucus tonight.
Mr.. Jones, of Tennessee, took the chair, and
Messrs. Ruttin and English acted as Secreta-
ries. After all interchange of views, 1t was
represented that Mr.. Richardson was will
ling to be dropped, provided another could
be nominated with better prospect OF sue

ing of him would be an abandonment of the
platform. Some Democrats considered this
caucus unnecessary, and probably nothing de-

THERE NEVER was.
BY L. G. riggs.

There ncvr was an earthly dream
Ofbeauty and delight,
That mingled not too soon with clouds,
As san-rays with the night
That faded not from that fond heart,
Where once it loved to stay,
And left that heaFt more desoiate,
For having felt is sway.
There never was glad bright eye,
Bat ii was dImmed with tears,
Caused by such grlefs as eye! dull
The sunshine Of our years;
We look upon the sweetest dover,
IT'S withered soon and gone;
We gaze upon a star, to fad
But darkness where it shoHe.
There never was a noble heart,
mind of worth and power,
That had not in this changing world,
Pain and misery for its dover;
The laurel on its brow hath hid
From mary careless eve,
The secret Of the soul within,
is bIithe and agony.
There never wxs-.here cannot be
On earth precious spring,
Whose waters to the feyered lip, .
Unfaiiing we may bring,
All changeth on this troubled shore,
Or pas>eth from the sight;
Oh. for that world where JOY and peace
Reign as eternal light
