THE PROGRESS OF SToRM.-Lieut. Maury
in Report of the Navy Department, traces
the speed and progress of the great January
snow storm Of this year as follows:
"The snow begun, it seems, with a furious
gale near the boundaries of Virginia and
North Carolina; thence to Washington its
course was due north, time three to four hours
From the capital it swept on, a furious gale,
fourteen hours to New York; thence to Bos-
ton it was six hours on the march, to Port.
land only four, railroad speed, making in all
twenty four hours from North Carolina to
Maine, half the extent of the Union. Further
reports of this terrific storm, which is known
to have swept furiously along the Nova Scotia
coast, have not reached US. And here it Is to
be observed that the cold, the wind, and the
snow storm had each its own speed Of march,
the accurate discr ption Of which does not
seem to have been observed.
This storm as our readers well know, has
proved very destructive along the entire At
lantic coast. The loss by sea alone, in the
month Of January, to say nothing Of the sus.
pension Of travel, delay of mails, and derange.
ment of business Of all kinds, is set down al
not less than four millions of dollars. The
loss of life cannot be estimated. And yet al
that. it is believed, or much Of it, might have
been saved bya system Photographic meteo.
BIOLOGICAL reports as recently recommended by
the Secretary OF the Navy. To the shipping
Of Boston and Portland, this storm, which has
proved SO destructive, would thus have given
ltwenty-four hours notice Of its approach; tc
that of New York. Philadelphia, and Balti
more, from ten to fifteen hours Every othe,
interest in the country also might have profit
ed by this forewarning. and immense suffer

Mr.. BUCHANAN AT BALTrMoRE.-The fol-
lowing is the story Of the correspondent Of the
New York Tribune, so positively denied in our
telegraphic reports Of Saturday, as entirely
without any foundation. 1t is difficult to sur
mise a motive for such Infamous falsehood
unless it were to hoax hated political oppo.
nent.
What sad tale have to tell Of his ar.
rival in the Monumental City-a city hence
forth to be stigmatized as city Of bacchanal
ian mobs. A city once famous for its high
toned honor, its hospitality, its beautiful wo
men, its chivalrous young men, to be guilty o
allowing James Buchanan, President elect, OF
his way to be inaugurated, to be Missed ant
hooted, his carriage to be stoned, his friends
assaulted, his guard of honor to be pelted will
brickbats! So serious was the affair, tina
Mr.. Buchanan's friends thought it advisable t
have him decline the dinner rendered him
to dine privately, to slip out at 'side door
of the City Hotel, to elude the mob. and TAX
an early special train for Washington.

ExTRAVAGANCE AND THE PANIC.

Whatever may be the final result of the strin-
gency in the currency of the country, it is impos
sible to mistake the cause which has brought a.
bout such deplorable condition of affairs. 1t is
found in the wild extravaganza which pervades
all ranks and classes. Prodigality in living must
beget recklessness in specuations which will
end at last in crisis Ike the present Legis alton
must ever be effected by the prevailing customs,
habits and manners of people, which fact will
account for the indulgence which our Legislatures
show to Banks that forfeit their charters as we'll
as the facility with which they institute others.
The Banking system is only convenience when
restrained by the strctest legislation, and unless
this is done, the plea of public utility can no long
erpaliate the injustice of the principle on which
all private banking is conducted. 1t is certainly
short-sighted legislation that suffers the capital
Of the country to be gathered into Banks for the
purpose of illicit speculations, while the produce
of the country is stopped on the road to market
for the want of money to give in exchange Let
the evil lie where it may, nothing is certain
than that 1rauu, engenuered oy spirit OF reckless
extravaganza, has consummated the crisis which
producers have so much cause to regret. Blu. has
not the producer himself aided in bringing about
such q result Has he not in his own household
encouraged that extravaganza! Has he not al
lowed his sons and his daughters every indulgence
of fashionable folly? When the conservative far

"rur GRAND OLD MouNTA1N!n

We re.publish the much admired national and
patriotic ode on the Battle of Kings Mountain,
by HOWARD H. CALDWELL, which appeared in the
ENorlnER on the 4th of October 1856. 1t is alike
worthy of the grandeur of the theme and the RI
sing reputation of its author. 1t will compare
fayorably with any ode of like character in the
English language. This we know is saying much,
when we consider how often the lyric genius OF
England has been taxed for national odes. But
compare it with "HoHENLISpES," TENNYsoS's or
SNIrH's recent productions or with the celebrated
Monterey" of our own unfortunate bard, and it
possesses fire, Patriotism, poetry equal to any of
them. 1t will live while the 7th Of October lives
in the memory-which it will do 90 long as we con-
tinue free, respect freedom, Or admire chivulry
and herosm. The gathering of those "sons of
the trackless wildwood" from their Mountain fast
nesses the lonely grandeur Of the scene of action,
the Unborn greatness that conceived, and the un-
disciplined bravery which achieved that splendid
victory-give it an interest unsurpassed BY the
widest legends of history OF romance.

recorded his death in Bible belonging to the

not desire live longer. and that his ideas of an

THE TWELFTH DIVISION.

The cause of Temperance still progresses in
our district. On Friday last new division was
organized at Pine Grove Academy, near Antioch
and between Kings Creek and Bufa'o-making
twelve Divisions in oil. The following officers were
chosen, and MILES JOHNSON, D. G. W P, installed
them:
Wm Ellis, W. r.: Robert N. Crawford, W..
d.; E. G. Black R. s.; John P. Caveny, +. s. !;
Peter Green, r.; A. P. Black, c.; George Wilson,
/. S.; Thomas P. Black, p ". r.
From every indication we doubt not but that
the pine Grove Division" will prosper and prove
o blessing to that section of the country. Many
have already expressed willingness to take the
pledge and it is expected that the ladies will not
prove less devoted to the cause Of sobriety, than
in other portions of the district. With the aid Of
their influence, and relying on the inherent vigor
of Truth, we are sanguiue of the success of the
cause. The congregation ofAntioch has been bless
ed several years back, in having for its pastor
such jealous advocate Of temperance as Rev.
WADE HILL. We con distinctly trace the good ef-
fects of his ministry in that vicinity, and were all
the ministers of the Gospel equally jealous in diff
fusng the principles of total abstinence, the ne
cessity for special temperance organization would
be diminished. We hope the seed sown by him
will yield an abundant harvest. Time will tell.

WHAT MAKES THE NEGRO BLACK?-A DR. Draper
in very learned disquisitiou on this subject he's
cribed the cause, to blood climate and the liver.
Now We make no pretensions on these matters, but
would ask the DR.. why do not the black race be.
come white if climate have anything to do with it,
when they are removed from torrid to temper
ate zone. It was u question in older time, "cau
the Ethiopian change his skin?" 1t was thought
in that day, he could not but different in this pro-
gressivc age, is the subject considered-a negative
to the question, cannot properly be entertained
The evidence atiirnaIvely is before us, and con-
tuues to multiply, much to the qualification Of
the negro himself, who thereby presnmes on the
social condition O.: the times. What will DR..
Draper say to this, the change in the color Of the
skin. Is it in the blood. liver and climate; or is
it io what is commonly called amalgamation. We
have been i. structed, that God made the negro,
but are pretty sure this latter long word, has
something to do with muattoes. The light Of
science, p,les before our Southern light in this par
ticular, and We think will continue so TO do.

Brownlow ON /. ans.son.ry rour,

Parson Brownlow has written letter to the
New York Times, in which, after declaring bis in
tenton to lecture on slavery through the South
the coming winter, he says:
I'm the spring, purpose visiting the New
England States, and repeating the same lectures.
In other words, propose to 60 among you asa
Southern missionary, to enlighten your benighted
Freesoil population upon the subject of Slavery.
look upon the cities and towns of the New Eng
land States and Of the Northwestern States as
opening wider and more inviting field, at this
time, for faithful missionary labors than Hindos-
tan, Siam, Ceylon, China or Western Africa In
addition to your wicked and rebellious course on
the Slavery question, you have forsaken the true
God and the Christian religion, and gone of after
Spiritualisin, Fanny Wrightism, Fourerism, Nor
monism, Aboltionism, Devilism, and the hundred
and one isms so spontaneously produced by New
England soil!
II hope, gentlemen, you will do me the favor
to publish this hastily written letter, and your
Black Republican associates the kindness to let
them know am coming. They may wish to mus
ter up one Of your Beechers or Psrkers to reply
to me. will divide time with any one of your

after all, the spirit of prodgalty and speculation
are so nearly allied, that in point of dignity they
ore about equal.
A reform in domestic life, return to the SIM
plcity of an earlier age, an appreciation Of plea
sures more rational and elevated than meet the
appreciation of the present generation, must pre-
cede an era of permanent security and true home
felicity. One truth is evident to every observer: !:
however democratic we are in theory, no people
affix higher value to riches, or show more sy-
copLartc reverence for "dollar and cent great
ness than the Americans.

Better than sick men June's warm air,
Better than angels the penitent prayer,
Better, aye, better than Heaven -
And when money is the one idea that overtops
every other. the subordinate sentiments cannot be
very elevated or ennobling Let those then who
have fostered n spirit of extravaganza and specu-
lation bear the blame for the present state Of the
currency and look for remedy in their own re-
formation.
