TO THE PUBLIC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward notion.
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
TO strive for wondrOus competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need Of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland Il Jakeman-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
They'll charge but moderate for their labor,
So now invite each one and all,
SO walk around, and give them call

THE CASE OF Mr.. SIMoSToN-On the 22d ult.,
the House of Representatives decided that Mr. Simon
ton, correspondent of the New York Times, should
be held in close custody for refusing to testify before
the corruption investigating committee. The position
he has assumed is not sustained by the editor Of the
Times, who says:
Our Washington correspondent, it will be seen, has
been placed in custody of the Sergeant.at-Arms by
the House of Representatives for declining to give
the names of certain members of Congress who have
requested him to obtain for them pecuniary inter-
est in certain bills which were pending before that
body. In thus declining, it is scarcely necessary for
us to say Mr.. Simonton has acted entirely upon his
own responsibility, and upon his own convictions of
duty and proprety. The reason which he is reported
to have assigned is that the request was made to him
in confidence, and that he will not betray that con
tidence by revealing the names of the parties who
made it, II this is the whole ground Of his REFUSAL
we must frankly confess our doubts whether it can
be justified We admit, and would respect to the
fullest extent, the honorable obligations implied in
the receipt of continental communication, if made
| in good faith and with laudable purpose. We
| should refuse to betray such confidence under any
circumstances and at every hazard. But we do not
admit the right of any person to make rs his con
fdant in dishonorable and criminal enterprise mol
can we recognize any obligation resting upon ar
honorable man to receive proposition OF this kline
as confidential. On the contrary it is an insult tt
ask such a man to make himself party to such {
fraud by screening it from public knowledge ant
| legal censure. We make these remarks in genera
terms, not designing by them to condemn the cours
which our correspondent has seen fit to pursue, AM
for which, we presume, he has other and more salts
factory grounds
A New York correspondent of the Washingto
Union says, in regard to the matter:
The case of Simonton the correspondent of tn
| Times meets with little sympathy here. Had th
correspondent charged general corruption, and mad
no specific charge, he could have closed his mout
and laid back on his dignity but he has charge
members of Congress. The charge now is agains
every member of that body, and he is bound to te
who the man is. You have a set Of soldiers of fo
tune called correspondents, in your city they writ
for their bread they like the berth in the House an
Senate to draw pay they must starte the people II
whom they write, and hence the scandal tatte, ca

Mrs. MCMAHON AGAIN-This Fifth Avenue anna
teur actress made her New York debut on the night
of the 18th ult in the character of Juliet, and was
terribly laughed at. She obstinatey kept it up,
however for six nights, turning deaf ear to ibes and
jeers The New York correspondent of the Washing
ton Union says:
Bennett undertook to hold up Mrs Mcmahon. He
cudgeed the Buaoniaus for their want OF galantry.
He sounded the need of praise for the ladies of the
Fifth avenue, and all were curious to see how Bennett
would meet the ridiculous failure of his debutant.
Like tine Irishmans owl, which he bought for q
parrot he said nothing for day Or two, but kept up
terrible thinking.' He then came out, Bennett
like, copied all tn bad things the papers had said
all the ridiculous things all the malicious things, al
the libelous things, tied them all together with {
riband wove in Benefits brain, made of the criticism
of the united press of New York bouquet presented

RESOLUTION OF INoU1RY.-The following is the

Whereas, 1t is of national importance that the
communication between the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts of the United States by mail should be fire.
quent, speedy and regular as the means within the
reach Of the Government will admit Of therefore
be it
Resolved, That the Committee on the Post-office
and Post Roads be instructed to inquire
First, What is the usual length of time required
for the transportation of the mails from the city of
New York to San Francisco, in California, and from
the city of New Orleans to San Francisco, in Calitor
MA over the routes now established and made use of
under the authority Of the Government? How often
the sail mails ordered to be transported said
routes? How many, and what failures there have
been each of the said routes, on the part of the
contractors, to transport the said mails within the
schedule time? What is the present contract price
for the sail mails on the said routes and what is the
amount of the fines, if any, which have been imposed
the said contractors, either Or both either or
both of said routes for the respective failures to
transport the mails agreeably to their respective
tracts;
Second, What would be the time required for the
transportation of mails from the cities of New Or
leans and New York respectively to San Francisco in
California, by the way OF the Lshmus Of Tehuantepec
when the road now in the course of construction
across the said isthmus completed and in operation
and
Third, Whether it is not now eXpedient to authorize
the Postmaster General to enter into contracts to
secure the transportation Of weekly mail from the
city of New Orleans and from the city OF New York,
by the way of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, to San
Francisco, in California, whenever the said road
across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec is completed and
in actual operation and to report to this House by
resolution, bill, or otherwise.

AWFUL SCENES OF SHIpwREcK.-The New York
Tribune furnishes shocking picture Of the scenes
which took place when the brig Emeline was driven
ashore the Jersey coast, near Sandy Hook, the
18th ult.: aaF7'7 ta ~-
She was seen approaching the beach, where a
crowd of wreckers and others gathered to wit
ness the catastrophe. The faces of the crew could
be seen, pale and CHASTITY aud, as she struck every

icy rigging as the vessel was dashed over She lay
about eighty yards from the shore The mansail was
half set, and the six men board got under the lee
of it, and wera for time, sheltered from the storm
They must have been frozen until they were too veal

mortar was placed shore and five lines shot from
it in succession, all of which lodged in the rigging

unable to reach it, Soon the mainsail gave way anG
being then exposed to the full fury of the storm with
the sea sweeping the deck, some Of the doomed mer
took to the rigging, while others went into the cabin
Too feeble to help themselves the few above looked
imploringy ashore. One attempted to save himself
by throwing overheard the top of the galley and
jumping after it, but after struggling bravely for i
teen minutes, was drowned by getting under the
shore ice. The three men who went into the cabin
were not seen again. The two remaining men above
froze to death in the rigging. On Monday the brig
broke in two, and the fragments drove ashore. She
was Yankee craft, but owned in New York, whittier
she was bound with cargo of logwood from the
West Indies.

reply.

DEATH OF J. S. WEBB.-The letters from Grenada
inform us of the death of Mr.. ]. Sedey Webb, for
merly of this parish: Mr.. Webb emigrated to Mica
ragua last spring He died at Virgin Bay of fever
The deceased, we believe, at one time cadet al
the West Point Academy. He had excellent quail
ties for making good Soldier and officer and from
the accounts received of him since his departure from
here, we have no doubt that, had he lived he would
have carved for himself bright in his adopted
country. Mr.. Webb was in the Mexican war, where
he held the Office of adjutant in the Louisiana reg
ment and acquitted himself with honor. He has
held several public Offices in this parish, where he
leaves many friends and relatives to mourn his late
Peace to his ashes.

DEATHS FROM COLD WEATHER.-We have already
recorded great number of deaths from freezing
during the recent cold weather. The loss of human
life from this has been greater, up to the pres
ent time this winter, than during any other winter
within the memory of man. at least in this country.
A Philadelphia paper of the Goth, states that po-
lcemen in the Nineteenth Ward, at daybreak on the
previous day. discovered portions of female clothing
in snow.drift. On clearing away the snow, they
discovered the dead body of woman, frozen stiff.
The deceased was named Mrs. Bohan, and she resided
within few squares from the place weere the body
was found. The woman had husband and child.
On the same morning, before daylight, milk
wagon got fast in a drift in the middle of the
street, and its occupants, woman and child, were
found frozen to death few hours afterwards.
The Baltimore American, of the Gath, has the fol-
lowing paragraph
We learn that on Wednesday morning, Mrs. Rein
ecker and her three children, living near Sollers
Point were found dead in their house. man who
lives in the neighborhood, and for whose family Mrs.
R. had been in the habit of sewing called at the house
to get work DONE and found the bodies frozen,
having evidently perished with the cold. Mr.. Rein
ecker left the city on Sunday morning last for his
home, and has not since been seen or heard from.
We find the following in the Richmond (va.) Dis
patch:
On the night Of the 18th ut., a young man. named
Dennis Clarke, a resident of Darbytown, in Henrico
county, persisted by the cold. He started from a
neighbor's,, in the evening" to go home, and being
overcome by the storm, perished. His body has
since been discovered in the woods about half mile
from his residence, and an inquest held over it by
Justice J. F. Chdrey. The jury rendered verdict in
accordance with the above facts.
The Charlotte Is. C.) Democrat furnishes the fol
lowing paragraphs
We learn that DR.. Charles Harris a highly respect

Monday night, the 18th ut, under most distressing
circumstances. 1t appears that he left home for the
purpose of going to Concord, but before proceeding
directly 'or that point he had occasion to visit {
neghbors house, and in attempting to do So, he los
his way in the woods. On arriving at small branel
he dsounted from his horse in order to discover th
road and in crossing the branch he stepped upon th
ice which yielded under his weight and plunged hin
in the water. His horse. in the meantime, had ra
off and left him alone. After he had COTTON out {
the water, being thoroughly chilled and henumbe
with cold and his clothes frozen he dragged hinlse
to the brow of the hill where he fell and perished
