BARKIs IS WlLLIN' We once heard of a
man who stuck to it that crows were good to
eat One was brought TO him cooked, and he
sat down to discuss it. After chewing at
few mouthfuls for a while, his friend, who
questioned the palatableness of that sort Of
game, asked him how it tasted and if he liked
it,
"Why, yes was the somewhat hositatiup
reply; al like it,but don't banker after it.S

he should not rule the testimony out.

WEDNESDAY, FEB'Y 1s, 1856,


We publish in another column an abstract
~ proclamation from President Pierce, which
was published in the Washington UaiOm on
Tuesday morning. 1t will be seen that Mr..
Pierce has at last discovered that public tran
guilty has been disturbed in Kanzas, and the
manner in which he proposes to settle it is
Characteristic Of the man. He declares that
the bogus laws of the Missouri legislators,
made last winter in Kanzas, to be the present
legal and. constitutional authority. and en-
courages the Aiissourians to further acts OF
violence against the actual residents OF the
territory by his declaration that those who do
not submit to their diabolical requirements,
are to be crushed out by the whole force OF
the national government. The President is
evidently determined to bring on COLLISION
between the inhabitants of the territory and
the outside barbarians as early as possible,
doubtless. with the hope that the Free State
settlements can be destroyed, and the institu-
tious of freedom subverted before sufficient
reiuforcements of actual settlers can arrive to
enable these brave and heroic men, who have
thus far sustained themselves against such
odds, to maintain their position.

The New Orleans Pioayune of january q

The New Orleans Picayume of January 81,
says;
Another series of changes from one ex-
IRENE to another ofour winter weather, is the
sum of our record for the week Just closed
The change we noticed on Sunday last was
followed, as we partly expected, by a cool,
lowering, dry day, to which succeeded several
days of more intense cold than had been ex-
perienced Tor many years. Ice formed on the
canals and in the cutters to the thickness of
an inch, andin small quantities, in small YES
sells and exposed situations, to much more
than double that. The water in cisterns was
frozen at the faucets, so that none could be
drawn, and iclcles were seen hanging around.
AT midday, water thrown on the banqnettes
was frozen and for two or three days togeth-
er did not thaw. Fires and overcoats, and
warm coverings at night, were more valued
than many would think them ever likely to
be in New Orleans. The atmosphere, how
ever, was during thie time. beautifully bright
and the air vigorously braeing; and the streets
were thronged with beauty and life during
the day. During the past three days, again
the temperature hns been growing milder and
and yesterday it was quite pleasantly warm
it has been raining, and the streets are not in
a most pleasant condition for walking about.
The bayou at Lafourch, La, on the 22d nit.
was margined by sheet of ice some six feet
in width, an occurrence before unknown to
the memory of the coolest inhabitant."

Mr.. Robev, Of the bonneville Mrs

Mr.. RobeB of the Hopeville Nurse
ry, near Fredericksburg, Va, says that the la
Dor of years in raising fruit trees, has been de-
suoyed by the intensely coldaveather. Pear,
peach, aprlcut, and indeed all varieties of fruit
trees, with the exception of apple, have been
literally killed.
At Fort Smelling, Minnesota, they
have had weather Of decidedly cold charae-
ter. From the Goth of December to the 18th
Of January, the mercury in the thermometer
perversely kept between 81 and 80 deg. below
zero. Our gallant troops at that station were
completely frozen in. One man was frozen
to death, and eight or ten had their fingers
frozen while mounting guard.

placing cartridges in the breeeh, without using
the magazine at all.
