This cold snap will soon fill the rivers and bay with
masses of floating ice, and WILL moreover, start the
ice gatherers at Rockland lake and elsewhere, who
will commence to lay in the store for next summers
consumption. There is no danger of any failure of
he crop of ice this year. In the city this cold
weather is most acceptable, as it has hardened the
mud and snow into ice, and made the streets passa
bic in more than one. The only difficulty is
people not obeying the city, ordinances, which
require them to sprinkle their slippery sidewalks
with ashes AS the police will not see this matter
attended to, it is to be hoped that citizens will

Mr. Faulkner is prepared to bring forward plan for

convenient point 70 the Gulf Of Mexico and the Northern
lakes and the third the Pacific Coast His idea is that
the Guf-our Mediterranean sea-rees for its supplies

seaboard would incur too much risk. He proposes how
ever at this time to establish but foundry the site
be selected by the President upon report from Board
Of Army and Navy Officers either upon the Atlantic

ANOTHER Book JOB FOR CoNGREss.-W
have received from Washington the copy of a
petition to the Senate and House of Representa-
tives from the publisher of biographical and
historical account of one OF the early fiibusters.
The petitioner thinks it is great work, of
course, and suggests that Congress ought to be
patriotic enough TO buy ten thousand copies of
it at one dollar and half per copy--making the
neat little sum Of fifteen thousand dollars hard
cash. The petitioner don't desire to make any
profit out Of Congress (who ever did y and he
will generously let the books go at cost, steel
and wood pictures thrown in. The petition
closes with the ndire remark that by passing this
bill you (Congress) will confer benefit on
your constituents" How benefit on any one
except the petitioner, we really cannot see. We
also learn from correspondent at Washington
that there is strong lobby at work to put this
sweet little thing through. The printing of ex-
pensive books, under the authority of Congress,
IL, as our readers are aware, knocked in the
head for the present. and the lobby will now
take the smallest favors with the humblest graft
tudc. This is one of the small favors and by
the following extract, even the crinolnc lobby
has been hard at work to encourage literature.
Our correspondent says -
Ivas introduced this morning to a beautiful lady and
had hardly passed the compliments Of the day before she
exclaimed, Oh, Mr. NJ you will give this petition your
aid. know you will. Won't you ~ And she handed
me the following copy Of which she gave me To read
and give her an answer by dinner time.
This correspondent thinks the bill will pass
We hope not II would be criminal in the pre-
sent condition of the public finances to throw
money away for purpose for which there is no
legal warrant, and IL would fortify precedent
which never ought TO have been established The
book in question may be well enough, but that is
no matter. Congress has no power to spend our
money for books to be sent to small politicians

from all sections Of the country, are advancing
to points indicated in the plan of operations
This movement, WAkh is fixed to take place
early in the spring, will be of the most formid-
able and crushing character, and as care will be
taken To secure Vera Cruz and the other ports
against surprise during the advance, the cause of
the church party may be looked upon as hope
less. Torn as they are by internal dissensions,
and having no means of receiving aid from
foreign sources, their humiliation as a party
seems certain.
1t is to the conviction of this fact that may he
ascribed the downfall Of Zuloaga and the offer
of Robes to treat with the liberals. There is
no doubt that the priests, to save a portion of
the church property, would now be glad to agree
to the half measures of confiscation which were
initiated by Comonfort. But as the incom-
pleteness of those measures formed the principal
ground Of the latters overthrow, and as the deca-
ration Oft thorough reform 0fecclesastical abuses
forms the bond and covenant of the league of
which Juarez is the head, it is impossible without
treason on the part of the constitutional leaders,
that any compromise short Of unconditional sub
mission can be agreed upon. The days, there
fore, of clerical sway in Mexico it is to be hoped,
are numbered.
