THE GREAT SNOW STORM.

Lieut.. Maury has written to Secretary
Dobbin letter embodying such facts as he
has been able to gather with reference to
the rise, progress and phenomena of the
great storm of the 18th and 18th January.
The letter is too long for publication in the
Express and is accompanied by tabular
statement of figures of width that does
not admit of transfer to our columns, SO
that we can only make mention OF the more
striking and remarkable points given in it.
The returns are as yet by no means so full
from observers in various parts of the coun-
try as Lieut.. Maury could desire, and as to
enable him to generalize satisfactorily con-
corning the stor m throughout its whole ex-
tent, but enough is known to afford matter
for useful comment with regard to the means
of precaution to be adopted in future upon
the eve of great elemental violence. The
storm was about twenty-six hours in max
ing its way, against a UioLent headwind,
from North Carolina to Maine, it having
commenced in BERTHE county, in the former
State, at 8 O clock on the evening of the 18th,
and at Portland, in the latter, at 10 O'Clock
on the evening of the 18th. The lowest
depression of the mercury at the beginning
of the fall of snow was at North East,
Duchess county, n. Y, where it fell to 10
deg. below zero, and the highest range at
Augusta, Geo., where it stood at 30 deg.
above zero. The greatest depth of snow re-
ported was at Philadelphia, in Duchess Co.,
n. Y. Blackwell's Island, near n. Y. city.
and Smithfield, Long Island, where it lay
"a inches on the ground, and the lightest
covering was at Edisto Island, on the Car
DINA coast, where it barely whitened the
surface, half inch being given as the meas
urement--while at Wheeling, Virginia,
there was no snow at all. Lieut.. Maury
points out the great advantage, in view of
the comparatively slow line of march of
these periodical tempests, of telegraphing
their approach from one end of the Atlantic
coast to the ether, and to the chain of
Northern Lakes, i'm order that means may
be at once resorted to, for the protection of
life and property against their violence
Had the Harbor masters of Boston, New
York, and other Northern seaports been
placed on their guard against the con- ing
of the recent storm, there is little doubt
that large amount of property and any
valuable lives might have been saved.

WILMINGTON, CHARLOTTE AND
RUTHERFORD ROAD.

The Directors of the Wilmington, Char
lotte and Rutherford railroad company met
in Wilmington ON Thursday the 18th inst,
and continued in session the remainder of
the week.
We learn that they decided to call for
the second instalment of ten per cent. on
subscriptions of stock, the same to be paid
on or before the LIST May next.
They have likewise called q general
meeting of the stockholders, to be held in
this town on Tuesday, the 18th of March
next, to pass upon the amendments to the
charter recently made by the General AS
sembly. and which, among other things,
authorize the counties on the line of the
Road to subscribe to the capital stock of
the company.
We learn also that the difficulty as to the
town subscription ($2OO,OOO) to this work,
was fully adjusted and the instalments due
from the town with the details of the bonds
were agreed upon.
A committee was appointed to confer
with the Wilmington and Manchester COM
pany as to the details of any connection
that may be made betw cen the two roads
at Whiteville.
1t is expected that, at the meeting in
March, the eastern terminus will be settled,
and that the road will be put under con-
tract. From Lumberton to Rockingham is
now under contract, and many of the con-
tractors, we learn, are engaged upon their
sections.
We rejoice that one of the great STUN
bling blocks in the way of the Company
the difficulty concerning the corporate sub
scription of the town of Wilmington-ha
been settled, and the details, agreeable to
both Company and corporation, agreed
upon. If an eligible sale of the town bonds
can be made, the Company will be placed
in the possession of means which will
enable them to prosecute the work with
vigor.
Another serious obstacle still exists Which
we trust will be tremendously surmounted
at the meeting of the stockholders in March
next. We refer to the location of the ter
minus at this end of the road.-For the
present we will content ourself with the ex-
preston of the hope that past differences of
opinion on this point may be forgotten; and
that all interested may discuss this subject
with unprejudiced eyes, looking not so
much to the qualification of preferences, as
to the building of the road, consideration
which ought to override all other considera-
Wilmington Herald.
We further learn that the Road has been
located from Charlotte to Lincolnton and to
Newton, and that work will soon be COM
menced. Push the enterprise forward and
let all do what they can to help it along.

GARRoTING A LADY AT THE N. YORK
HOTEL.-In New York on the 10Th inst.,
while Mrs. Bates was sitting in her parlor
alone, a scamp entered and without deigning
even to notice Mrs Bates, at once proceed
ed to force open her trunk with chsel or
jimmy. With as much composure as pos
sible, Mrs Bates ventured to demonstrate
with the villain for thus invading her prem
Uses for the purpose of robbing her, where
upon he turned, and selling the defenceless
woman by the throat with one hand, at the
same moment thrusting the other one over
or into her mouth, so that she could not cry
for help. Unable to speak or to help her
self in the least, Mrs Bates was held firmly
by the throat till she was nearly exhausted,
and, in fact, almost suffocated. Having
properly subdued his victim, the robber re-
leased his grasp, rushed down stairs, and so
into the street, before Mrs. Bates recovered
herself sufficiently to sound the alarm.

throughout the department of the Pacific,
and he has no doubt will continue as long
as the Indians are treated with ordinary

renew the war, which, from the information
he has received, he does not in the least

RAISING TEA-CAsHMERE GOATs.--A
correspondent of the Western Recorder,
writing from GreenviIIe. South Carolina,
says:
Il am within few miles of the place
where the experiment made of raising
tea. 1t has proved a failure. The plant
will grow we'll enough, but wages are too
high in this country. We cannot afford to
pick, to roll up and dry any sort of leaves
for half dollar a pound. In China,
where a man is hired for dollar month
and boards himself, it may be done.
am glad to learn that the Cashmere
goat, introduced by J. B. Davis, does we'll
here. The goat is hardy, prolific and
produces a heavy fleece of wool, so
fine that the finest French Merno is coarse
in comparison, and then it is from six to
nine inches long.
A son of his-Mr Scott Davis-has a
cargo of fresh Angora Cashmere goats on
their way to Gallatin, Tennessee. where he
intends to establish colony of these Asat-
les. Our ladies in kentucky may therefore
expect, in few years, to find themselves
employed in knitting Cashmere stockings
and gloves, as find some of the lodes here
now doing.
