A Coop OEE.-A Raleigh correspondent
of the Fayetteville Observer tells joke that
occurred in the Senate, which shows that
Legislators can sometimes be forced from
their gravity. He says:
"Quite an amusing scene occurred in the
Senate this week, on till to emancpate n
slave who it seems is almost perfectly white
Some friend or advocate of the measure just
ns the bill was about to be called up, reques
ted Mr. Page, the door keeper, to 90 out and
find the petitioner and stand him ut the door
of the Senate so that the Senators might see
how white he was. Page made mistake IL
the man, and brought in u gentleman who il
seems is candidate Cor Superintendent of
Common Schools, ngninst the present worthy
Incumbent Thinking ti,at the election wa.
about to come on, and that his looks might
help him ont, he took his stand in full view
of the Senate, looking "as sweet as the last
whisper of spring morning." until the
speaker called upon the Senate to look AT
him. "he's ~ white ne any of you" Some
one discovered the mistnke-a roar of laugh
ter followrd-the candidate for superint-n
dent turned off in n rage and wanted to know
"who the devil disputed it!'

ATHENS, FRIDAY, FEB. is, 1857.

Why PIERCE WAS Beaten AT ClSclN
NATf.-The Columbus Times, a Democratic
journal--in alluding to the contemplated
visit of Mr.. Pierce to the South, says:
"The whole South, we believe, without
distinction of party, would delight to honor
the retiring Chief Magistrate. He has stood
by the Constitutional rights of every section
ofth Union, and sacrificed his prospects of
reelection by his hostility to the fanatical
aggressions of the Black Republicans upon
Southern rights"
Upon which the Mobile Advertiser thus
remarks: 's..-. a.s -.p.si
"The truth viii out. If Mr.. Pierce was
thrown overheard at Cincinnati on account Of
"his hostility to the aggressions of the Black
Republicans" how can we escape the concu.
sion that the man who supplanted him was
not regarded by the Northern Democracy as
obnoxious TO that object, and that he was
nom lated for that very reason! There is
no doubt OF the truth of this position. The
nomination and election of Mr.. Buchanan
is vauntingly claimed MS a triumph of the
Nebraska bill; yet, there is nothing clearer
than that no man who had mn agency in the
passage of that measure could have come in
striking distance Of nomination at Cincin
natl"

this man has gone bare fooled. He says his

THE WEATHER.

Take map Of North America, (says "Life
Illustrated, } draw a line across It, from
Washington, west to the Rocky Mountains -
Draw another, from Washington TO Buffalo,
N. Y. /; thence along the Lakes and the St.
Lawrence. to the northeast corner Of New
York State; then across the country to Port.
land, and so down the Atlantic coast to
Washington again. OF the two areas thus
indicated, the first, viz, all North America
east of the Rocky Mountains and north Of
the line, has been the theatre OF tremen-
dous infliction of cold; the second area, which
mightinelude large space Of adjacent ocean,
marks out. roughly, the space covered by a
snow storm still more tremendous, for quan.
tity OF snow, for tempestuous violence, and
especially for the uncommon and unremittcd
rigor OF the accompanying cold. i8r.gJ
No such season has been felt since the bit
ter winter Of 1866, the winter Of the great
fire in New York Already, during the week
from Jan. llth to nth, it was known that
throughout the whole country, from Maine
TO Florida, and westward to the Kansas
I coid. AT NeA York, the East River was fro.
zen over; which happens hardly half a dozen
times iD century and during Saturday the
18th, .probnbly twenty thousand people
crossed 1T on foot; dead loss of four hun.
dred dollars to the blockaded ferries. Among
them was Rev. ii. W. Beecher, who had to
scramble smartly to get off in season; and
some five hundred more were rescued by
steam tug after the ice had started to 90
down the harbor at turn of tide All that
week the ferries had nearly stopped; and
indeed so had the Sound steamers; the har.
Dor was dotted with vessels imprisoned in ice
a foot thick; and on the railroads passengers
and freight were delayed everywhere by
frost.broken axles and frozen locomotives.
On Sunday the 10th (speaking Of the lati.
tude Of New York;. without any diminuton
in the fierceness Of the cold, the gray haze of
a coming storm gathered in the sky. All the
morning it thickened and grew, and in the
afternoon the threatened snow began to fall,
in little, hard, dry pills, as usual in the first
of long storm, but through air so cold that
we could not believe it would last. It did,
however; and with a savage tempest of wind,
and with thermometers at all sorts Of figures
below zert. In one place Watertown, N.
Y.--at temperature two degrees below that
where the mercury froze, it came steadily
until Monday evening; whirled and flung
into huge drifts, leaving much ground bare,
but depositing sheet of snow averaging
probably eighteen inches in depth, over more
than two hundred thousand square miles Of
territory.
Nothing can more forcibly suggest the
power Of this vast operation Of Nature than
the fact that Tor some days it flung the coun.
try a century backward and more, as to all
travel and transportation. The telegraph
lines, saved by the dry, unclinging nature o.
the snow, sent the news back and forth
where mails and passengers were. But, like
the lrishman's teakettle at the bottom of the
sea, though we knew where they were, they
were for practical purposes lost.

his financial embarrassments! That man
