TnE FoREraN News. The intelligence


TnE FoREIGN News. The intelligence
by the steamer City of Washington is Of
some moment, comprising the announce
ment Of war between England and China.
The Immediate cause of this sudden out
break appears in the details, although it
has been preceded by numerous unre-
dressed grievances on the part of British
merchants.
The progress of the British corre-
spends pretty nearly with their operations
at the commencement of the last war,
the Bogue forts have already given way.
1t is not difficult to predict how the war
will terminate in general; and as the
origin is not SO equivocal as was that of
the last, we shall probably have more
decided result; and one in which the
commercial world will generally partici-
pate. In the meantime we shall perhaps
learn to calculate the progress Of hostili-
ties by the favor Of our Young Hyson.
The statement that the American en-
voy had offered loan of 500, 900, 900
TO Switzerland is, Of course, Prussian
fable That The sylnpathies of the Amer
lean people viii be with the Swiss, is 4
1rsSltttiaifssal conclusion of the Prussian ar
thoriiies but American officials will not
enter info financial operations in the mat
ter, whatever individuals may do.
The intelligence respecting European
affairs has not acquired much interest
since last advices. The Swiss affair de-
velops no new feature.
TIE SroRM.-The following items in
regard to the great snow storm we copy
from Geographic dispatches to the Wash
ington Union:
PHILADELpHIA, Jan. 20.--No trains

E9~ Maryland Know-nothing journals,
with view no doubt to break the force

volved our good old commonwealth at
the late Presidential election, still peril
naciously deny that Know-nothingism is
the imitator and supporter Of abolition
doctrines and this tt tsJ Dc il III! face 6:
the most demonstratiyc facts, of which
the following may serve asa specimen:
1st. That State after State has been
thrown into the arms of the abolitionists
by the Know-nothings.
3D. That fearless friends of the Con-
stitution have been defeated one after the
other in the free States by the same con-
spirators against the rights of conscience
and the rights Of the States.
Sd. That abolition Senator's and Rep
resentatives in Congress have been cho-

preference to national Democrats.
4th. That resolutions, defying the fu-
gitive-slave law, and demanding the
restoration of the Missouri Compromise,
and the admission Of no more slave States,
have been adopted by Know-nothing
Legislatures.

NOTES ON THE SEASON.

Weare certain that the present Win
ter thus far has been the most severe of
the thirty-seven that we have experienced
1t set in in earnest earlier than usual and
has continued with unabated rieor to the
present moment and promises that the
remaining moiety shall be at least as hard
as that which has passed. The water
courses are completely blocked up with
ice Of greater thickness than at any time
during winter
To add to the distress which this in
clement season ordinarily brings in its
train, the most terrific snow storm we
ever saw, accompanied with the most
tremendous wind we ever heard, pre-
vailed during the whole Of Sunday and
Sunday night last and the forenoon of
Monday. The earth was never in better
condition to retain il upon its surface,
and it now lies in drifts several feet high
in our streets and in lanes and along
fences.
Had i not been for the great drifting
q the snow, the slelghing would have
been ID g!sllly is, our streets
are quite alive with this amusement,
A
Almost everything portable from crock
cry crate to a candle box, secured to
hoop poles fer runners runners, is pressed into
service. More tasteful affairs, for the
accommodation of ladies, drawn by swift
footed horses driven by men who are not
probably far behind their nags in point
of fastness, make our mouths water in
anticipation of several slices Of nice pound
cake fixed up in peculiar style. The
more democratic and utilitarian old fash
Toned sled takes crowds of different
class sleigh-riding on more economical
principles but all, whether in crates,
jumpers, or sled arrangement, seem to
enjoy the sport immensely. OF course
they do not forget in their flights to in
quire by the way into the necessities Of
their less fortunate neighbors and libe-
rally contribute to their relief.

The outgoing Administration.

The uncandid spirit of the opponents
Of the present administration, has known
no limit. No President has ever been
more grossly abused with less ground for
abuse than has President PIERCE; no adj
miuistration has ever been more severely
auimadycrted upon than that now about

Noimpartial man can examine that
record without being convinced of the
frmncss, efficiency and abiitylvith which
President Pierce has carriedbut the long
cherished and salutary principles Of the
Democratic party, and jedeemed the
promises of his noble inaugural. In en-
forcing faithful and st;it economy, in
cutting off the lavish and corrupting
drains on the public eeasurg, which,
under tis aditftiiiiaiistEsitf edlately
preceding. had disgr'eea the nation IN
enforcing strict, sad Industrious and
energetic dischargeof duty by govern
ment officials; in Gushing the insidious
sand dangerous attytsiks upon the treasury;
in carrying out the spirit and letter of
the Compromise # 1850, by securing
the passage of the Nebraska bill, with
its repeal of the unjust and unwarranted
sectional line Of the Missouri Compro-
mise, and by prompt and vigorous
practical enforcement of the fugitive
slave law; in settling old and trouble
some difficulties with foreign powers, and
the extension of free principles Of COM
mercial intercourse with some Of the
richest portions Of the globe; in the
treaties that have laid the foundation Of q
wider prosperity; in the faithfal guar
dianship of the national treasury in the
able vindication Of our legal relations in
the wise regulation and control of our
army and navy; in word, both in our
domestic and foreign policy, the present
government has proved itself to be Of the
old Democratic stamp, promoting safe
and gradual progress, sternly defending
ths constitutional rights and the Union
of the States, which must ensure it a
commanding prominence upon the record
Of the executive history Of our country.

A VETERAv On the floor Of the
House the other day an aged but vigor-
GUS and healthy looking old gentleman,
about six feet three inches in height, Of
majestic form, attracted great attention.
1t was Major GEORGE Peter, of Mont
gomery county, Nd, an ex-member of
Congress, He entered the House in
1905, fifty-two years ago. Not man
who was in the body then but himself
now lives. He retired in 1907 to private
life; but returned to Congress again in
1919, and finally left in 1925. He told
me that there is but one man in the pub
lie councils now who was here when he
left in 1925, and that man is Sam Hous-
ton, who was then Congressman from
Tennessee. Major Peter received an
appointment in the army from General
Washington in his early life, and per-
formed gallant services. lie is now an
active politician in Maryland, having
been elected year ago member Of the
