BLOCKED UP STnL!-Yesterday morning
the ice flowed heavily along the Kentucky
shore. At noon large cakes gorged up that
the stationary ice SO hard, as to push the huge
mass of ice against this shore. Messrs. How
ard & Browns wharf boat, which was atloat
after being aground some time, was again
showed up the wharf, and left hard aground.
The ice was last evening apparently much
tighter than the evening previous, being tight
ly wedged in between the shores. Mr.. O'Riley
wharfboat was also thrown up on the shore,
and left aground.

0ETArchbishop Hughes, in his recent lee
ture in Baltimore, is said to have expressed
the opinion that the Roman Catholic Church
in this country can anticipate little increase to
its numbers or strength from immigration, and
that the future hopes of the Church must be
based upon its retaining its present numbers,
and the increase from conversion. He thinks
the present condition of the Church and the
numerous accessions, which he says have been
made to it from converts of American birth,
justify the most sanguine expectations in this
regard.

Nebraska Bill Principles.

The n. Y. Express says, what is unmistak-
ably true, that the Democracy North and South
are endorsing the principles of the Nebraska
Bill,-but in the definition of their principles,
the Democracy, North and South, differ toto
colo.
The Democracy off South hold that the
principles of the Nebraska Bill opened Kansas
to slave immigration, and that no Territorial
Legislature can shut out slaves thus let in by
act of Congress-
The Democracy North hold that slavery can
20 into Kansas only under the positive Law
of the settlers of Kansas, and that hence, the
settlers in Territorial Legislature, can shut out
and shut of, and thus substantially repeal the
let in the Nebraska act of Congress, when
ever that Territorial Legislature pleases.
Hence while such Democrats as Hon. C. c.
Cambrellng adopt the principles of the Nebras-
ka act, for one reason, North,-for an entirely
opposite reason, the slaveholding Democracy
adopt the very same principles.
Hence, before the Cincinnati Convention as
sembles, ''the Democracy" ought to call for a
Prize Esay on the principles of the Nebraska
Bill. If Democracy" means letting us Of the
universal Yankee nation,-with our Irish, Ger
man and all the world immigration, run over,
and over-run, the whole Western world and
take it, by our squatter sovereignty,-w we
can take such locations as Central America
with New Grenada, Venezuela, &c, and per-
haps Peru, and Chill, by ship loads, from New
=. York or San Francisco. But if Democracy
means repeating the anti-slayery restriction OF
the. Missouri Compromise, and then in not let
ting issG uatters, in our sovereign rights, vote
off orvofA out the shareholders, -why Democ-
racy 4haS fAsn cheating and shahming,-tha
all.
But, at anysT9sa. it will be very interesting
to have settled thiS gteat question.
What are the p;5n;iFS of this roguish, ral-
ish, doubtful character: ~ 4pRAsNA BILL?

to the Governor of Nova Scotia to consider
whether persons from the United States could
be received at Halifax. These instructions
were notified to Mr.. Champion. He was at
the same time informed that, anxious as Eng
land was for recruits, she was still more anx-
ious that there should be no violation Of the
municipal law of the U. s..
An agency Office was accordingly opened,
and upon complaint being made Champion de-
sired it might be made public, that the British
Government did not recruit soldiers in the
United States, and he made known his in
structions to Mr.. Marcy who expressed his
satisfaction. After further explanations, he
sisted that correspondence Of not very
amicable nature had since taken place between
the Governments, but the transactions referred
to are by-gone transactions, and from the
commencement the British Government has
disclaimed any Infringement of the laws Of the
! United States
With the conduct Of Mr.. Champion, he said
/ his Government were perfectly satisfied, be-
! ing convinced that he neither intentionally
nor accidentally violated the laws of the Uni
ted States. The whole difficulty was suscep-
tible ola peaceful solution, and no slight was
meant by not mentioning America in the
speech from the Throne.

pier Immediately on taking his seat, moved

effect that the enlistment of the armies o

The Coop WHICH Snow DoEs.-We copy
in another column, from the National lnteli-
gencer an article in relation to the agency OF
snow as fertilizer, and its power as an abb
sorbent of noxious gases. The fact stated,
that in Siberia it has been demonstrated that
tii0-'''A---. faw inches below the surface, is
sometimes hundred daesraas rr-.----@p than the
atmosphere, WILL doubtless, surprise nlar,s-, ae
well also the fact that snow like charcoal, is
an absorbent ofunwholesome vapors and gases.
Rather curious identity of action this, in sub
stances the color and "tecturc" of which differ
so widely.

A fine bust of George Law, by our former
townsman, T. D. Jones, is on exhibition at
Faris' Gallery, Melodeon Building. 1t is
magnificent work of art, and said to be splen-
did ikeness.-[ Gin. Colanab|an'
We received last week an elegant copy Of
this bust, which has attracted considerable at
tention. No letter having been received re-
lative to it till yesterday, we feared the Give
oak" politicians of New York were taking this
means to corrupt us, or to win US from the
Fillmore faith But yesterday we received
letter from our old friend Thos. D. Jones, the
Sculptor whose artistical fame is now national.
Years ago he promised US copy of one of his
works, but we thought it if not "a promise
made to be broken" promise which had
been long enough neglected to be forgotten
We take the friendly liberty of making an ex-
tract from his letter, which by the way was
missent from New York to Milwaukee, Wis.,
and there started to its proper destination. He
says:
II trust that you will accept the bust l send
you, as a slight but sincere token of our old
friendship, and as a memento Of my grateful
remembrance of favors extended me by your
self Years have flown by since first we met,
and it is now almost five years since last had
the pleasure of meeting you. Time has
touched me kindly and gently, and feel but
little older than [ did fifteen years ago. But
Golden lads and lasses must,
AS chimney sweepers come to dust"
Early next April shall pass your city again,
and, if possible, l will call on you and have a
"big Indiana talk" about old times The
Misses Carey call on me frequently, which quite
reminds me of Cincinnati days. Miss Alice
called to-day, and she is looking if anything
better than you ever saw her. Your brother,
Prof Sanders, also is a freqent visitor"
We do not see why our mutual friends Miss
Alice and Mr.. Jones, cannot form union o.
poetry and art, under the firm of Mrs. & Mr..
| 7. D. Jones. We merely make the sugges
ton, as we believe Mr.. Jones is yet in the soli-
tary condition we last saw him. But we fear
he is welded to Art, and win permit no other
bonds to interfere with his fidelity to her.
Art appears in return to be crowning his brow
with laurels He is now one of the most pro-
minent artists in the country, and has nObly
earned his fame. We thank him kindly for
his substantial remembrance ofold times, and
hope he will afford US an opportunity Of thank
ing him in person next April

AMERIcANISM.-Th Senate of the South
Carolina Legislature has passed bill, by a vote
of 50 to 8, to amend the constitution of that
State, so as to require two years residence
after any one has been naturalzed, to entitle
him to vote. 1t must be borne in mind that
South Carolina is Democratic State and the
Senate is Democratic. We hope this State
will not be behind her sister States in adopting
the policy of the American party.
