Cold Weather--Sno,c, Ice and the Mail TTorel--.
Kansas Troubles and Roiiroads--Ineotres.
We have the usual complaint of cold weather from
the Mississippi to the Rocky Mountains, and from
the Rio Grande to the dominions Of Great Britain.
An intense spell of cold has locked everything in its
icy embrace. Heavily loaded six horse wagons are
crossing hourly in front Of this city. The snow
is eight inches deep, and deepens as we ascend
westward far into Kansas Territory. The ice On the
Missouri and its tributaries is nearly double as thick
as has been known before for fifteen years. When
the weather does change apprehend we shall have
an amazing and destructive food.
The mail from Santa Fe arrived at independence

There is no news Of very much interest in that
quarter. General Garland still remains in the south

session, but doing nothing OF note.
In Kansas matters are in a very unsettled cOndi-
ton. The fires of diseord are s,nothered for the
moment by Governor Shannon, but the slightest
spark would re kindle them into consuming flame.

are class Of men very difficult to conquer. Most
OF them remember the trials and hardships Of their
Kentucky and Tennessee fathers and all Of them are
familiar with difficulties and dangers.
You will have seen that our Executive, having
doubts OF the constuonality of the late act In aid
of the railroads, has submitted the question to the
Supreme Court. 1t was argued several days since,
but the opinion Of the Court has not yet been given
1t is considered very doubtful.
