winter yet but in name and it is feared that even
by no means follows, however that because January
is mild February will be mild also. January has
time yet in which to freeze US into good humor on
the ice question; and as for February, we have seen
excellent supplies of ice gathered in that month in
this latitude
A friend at our elbow suggests that if our ice

must send to Iceland for supply of the article.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE MONEY MARKET-BErrER
TNEs-The late panic-we say late. for we trust it
is over-was one of the most rapid and extraordi-
nary pan1cs the commercial world has ever felt. 1t
was expected by many, it is true, and some had the
sagacity to provide against it; but it came upon
business men generally with the suddenness of
tornado and traversed the earth as it commenced,
pausing at no point from the United States to the
remotest regions Of the East. 1t was fast panic,
and therefore in entire keeping with this fast age
We are gratifed TO observe what consider
unmisakabe signs of improvement in the money
market and of better times. Cotton had advanced
at least penny in Liverpool; and the foreign trade
at the port Of New York begins to show decided
improvement. The Banks in the latter City have
specie in their vaults than at any former Pc
Rod; and California, considered worthless by many
ten years ago. continues to pour her golden stream
into our great centre of trade
Stocks of nearly all kinds are going up. This
shows revival of confidence among business men,
and it proves also that there is money not only to
pay debts but to make investments. On Monday
last the following sales of stocks, among others,
made at the Stock Exchange in New York: $4,000
Missouri six per cent. bonds at "a and 841, 5000
Tennessee six per cents. at 98 to 99!, 1000 Michi-
gan six per cents at SO, 1900 Virginia six per
cents at 934 to a. and IA 900 North Carolina six per
cents. at o. California sizes were sold at 70 to 70,
and Ohio skies, payable in 1860, at 99a. 80 shares
of the Bank of the Republic were sold at 112.

The corn was all drilled, in rows three feet apart,
and raised on upland prairie lands. This is but q
specimen of thousands of acres of land we have in
the same county, as yet unsettled and uncultivated,
to which we invite the attention Of the intelligent
and enterprisng farmers Of every State in the I'm

best to cast their lots with that they will meet
with a hearty Welcome healthy and happy home.

Gov. W1sE.-One of the Washington correspon-
dents of the New York Herald says: "Some of the
members Of Congress of the Virginia delegation
preparing to define their position, and the position
of the Old Dominion, with respect to Gov. Wise's
course the Kansas question. They differ with
him. think his conduct untenable, and will sustain
the administration. What has seduced the Cover
nor away from Mr.. Buchanan? He was his fast
friend for so many years. Had he waited little
while to have seen the end of Judge Douglas. Mr..
Walker, and others who have revolted against the
administration and the party of which it is the head
he would hardly have ventured such ruinous
step. Notwithstanding the Governor is about to
make additional explanations, apprehend the reso-
utions Of the Virginia Legislature and the of
the delegation in Congress will put him completely

first impression is that he is of generous and be-
nevolent nature but on closer scrutiny. you fancy
you can detect cold temperament and most deter
mined disposition. This impression, however, is not
a decided one, and you become completely at loss
what to think In stature he is low and his figure is
slight, but symmetrically moulded; his eye is of
light grey, bright and restless; his forehead and
nose fine; cheek bones high and mouth large his
hair, which is Of reddish brown, he wears close
cut, and in dress he is neat but not ostentatious
His manners are very agreeable but he seems more
disposed to be listener than talker. Take him
all in all, he is man whose like one rarely sees"

20 "W. F. Leak announced himself to the citizens of
Anson to-day in marlborough, as Democratic
candidate for Governor. He claims to belong to the
Democratic party, notwithstanding the bulls of ex-
communication hurled at him by the high priests of
the party. He labored hard to prove that distribu

that instead of benefitting the treasury they

Arson, assure you, are all right and to show Mr..
Leak made no converts to his distribution hobby,

Convention, and passed resolutions, one of which
condemned Mr.. Leaks course and another that they
were opposed to distribution. Both resolutions pass

LOCOMOTIVE Running THROUGH STONE WALL

Valley railroad, upon nearing the depot, was by the
displacement Of a switch, turned off from the main
track upon turn-table and thence on track lead,
ing to stone engine house, through which it pass
ed in spite of the engineer. The rear wall OF the
engine house was two feet thick, but the locomotive
passed through this obstacle, scarcely causing jar
to the train, and plunged outside its whole length,
doubling up some old iron rails lying on the north
side as if they were withes, and striking her nose
downward into the soft earth. Her lamps smoke
stack, dome and outworks were ruined, and right
down upon the cab, where the engineer aud fireman
stand, the upper section Of the stone wall fell, filling
up the space between boiler aud tender to the
depth of several feet. The engineer and fireman
jumped off in season to escape injury. Two cars
nearly foil OF passengers were in the train Not a
person moved from his place, and most Of the pas.
sengers were, probably, unaware that any accident
had occurred. .s..- -
