In the New England States and
New York snow is some two or three
feet deep, and the weather has been
severely cold. Here in Iowa we have
not snow enough for sleighing, and
the weather has been remarkably
mild and pleasant.
In New York City, on the 10th
and 18th of this month, the weather
was indeed cold. In 49th street
a woman was frozen to death, also
the driver of one of the Broadway
omnibusses was frozen to death on
his box while driving up town. A
driver of one of the Bowcry stages be-
came helpless from cold and fell from
his box while the vehicle was in mo-
ton. A driver of one of the city
railroad cars became 50 badly frozen
that he had to be removed, and it is
thought he will die. Other drivers
had their limbs frozen. There is a
prospect that the rivers will be closed
~nnless the weather modcrates soon.

Thr Pacific Railroad and Dr. Fowlkes

In the recent Pacific Railroad Conven- ton at New Orleans (says the Memphis .Avalanche) many developments were made of interest to the stock-dealing DOT ton of our people. Charges of fraud and imbecility were not unfrequent, and much feeling, as we'll as distrust, was manfes- ted. We learned by telegraph yesterday that there is to be no duel between Messrs Yerger and Fowlkes. It was matter of surprise to many that such immense amounts of stock had accumulated in the hands of men supposed to be insolvent, or otherwise unable to pay for it. This charge was not perferred against Dr. Fowlkes, but he stated as given below many facts familiar to our Memphis req ders. He said:
 Between 1854 and 1856 he had his first dealings with the Company. He then held it's bonds which he had bought in the market for the sum of $52,000. He paid his money for the bonds. To relieve the Company from embarrassment, he conver- ted the bonds into stock at par, thus he be- came one of the stockholders and interes- ted in its success. He came in as new purchaser, with his own money. His second transaction was the conversion of p ,000 acres of land into bonds and mort gages for $3S0, ,000, which were conver- ted into stock This course was taken to form a credit upon which to buy the iron to lay the first section of the road, and thus save the charter and franchises of the Company. He saved the charter. The Company then acquired full title and positive rights in Texas. He converted this bonded estate, which covers his own property, into stock at par. Thus was his stock subscription increased,
 His third transaction was the conver- sion of bonds of the Company which he held, in connection with the Hon. E. w. M. King, and others, into stock at par.
 His fourth transaction with the Company was the purchase of $3,000,000 of the Company's bonds, at Sl50,000, payable in four months. These bonds he also converted into stock at par These four transactions made him stockholder to the ex:ent of S532 ,000.
 His other stock he bought in the mar kel with his own money, paying cash for it, according to the demand of the holders. At the time when the Company was stricken down by the panic of 1857, he entered the market and bought up the stock. These were his transactions with the Company up to the time of the crea- ton of the deed of trust.

rkoy~ The substitution of Jas. s. Gree,

geaT The substitution of Jas. s. Green of Missouri, as Chairman of the Com- mittee on Territories, in place of Senator Douglas, meets with general approval by Southern Democratic papers, and will no doubt be hailed with high qualification by all who desire Democratic unity in the Senate. The views of Judge Douglas are certainly at variance with large ma iority of the Democratic party upon the true relations of the General Government to the Territories, and it was deemed es- sential by Democratic Senators to make the change in order to pervent dissension when important territorial questions were brought before the committee. It is also considered marked rebuke to the Illinois Senator. and an unmistakabe condemna- ton of his course in Congress last winter.
 The vacancy in the Craftsmanship of the Committee was first offered to Mr. Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, but he declined, and it was filled ny the appointment of MT. Green, of Missouri, who was the real leader of the party in the Kansas struggle.
 The Nates, the Douglas organ in Wash ington City, IS very indignant on the sub- iect- State Rights Democrat.

FRAUDS IN PACKING CorroN.-The fires in the picker-rooms of the Fremont, the Naumkeag and the Massachusetts Mills, within few weeks, and which in- volved the loss of life in the last named mill, were caused by stones or gravel packed with the cotton, to increase its weight, coming In contact with the re- volving knives of the beater while the cotton was being worked through the open CT, so called. The Lowell Advertiser says that in nearly all the bales of cotton opened there, from eight to twelve per cent. sand, stones, nails, and other substances are found. Single stones weighing 2S pounds have been found in these bales, which sell at from II 10 l5 cents pound to our manufacturers.

no rational being who, for the first time has lifted his eye to the nocturnal sky, and beheld the moon walking in brightness among the planetary orbs and hosts of stars, but must have been struck with awe and admiration at the splendid scene, and excited by the august mo- tions which the celestial vaults present. The most terrestial scenes would sink into inanity, and appear unworthy of being set in competition of the glory of the sky and its sublime vements-fying with the velocity of thousand miles a minute, and finishing their circuits with such profound accurary, as not to deviate the thousandth part of minute in the period of thousand years.

HE EIGHTH or JANUARY.-We apain hail the return of this memorable day in the history of our country. IL brings with it "reminiscences and fond recolections which the mind of every American rejoi- ces 10 dwell upon. We have before us, in memory, the thrilling scenes which dis tinguished the battle of New Orleans the proud and patriotic deeds enacted on the plains of Chalmetic, where "the ene- my's long line stood in battle array" and the trump of war broke over the bosom of ahe majestic Mississippi. Then, and there, stood the man of "IRos NERVE" undaun- ted by the roar of artillery and the fierce conflict of war. With a handful of un- di disciplined men as his staff, and the ius- tice of his cause, his only hope, ia stran- ger to fear" he marched on to victory. Before the triumphs of the hero the demon of party was hushed and the archer ol malice unstrung his bow. Silently lenv- ing behind him the domestic and rural comforts of his beautiful Hermitage, then adorned with all the sweetness of spring, he went forth to crusade for freedom, in freedoms happy land. Thrice glorious was that sunset that shed it's first beams upon the victorious little band the enemy repulscd and driven to distant retreat, and the sword returned to its scabbard. The fame of Gen. JACKSON, was soon borne to distant lands, and on our own blessed soil he stood, in blaze of light.
 But he is gone, and sleeps quiet cap- tive, by the side of his long loved partner. Time may set his signe. on the monarch's throne, and prostrate in his treless course, philosophers, kings and nobles but the name of ANDREW JACKSON will live as long as gratitude has place in the human heart, and freedom votary on earth.

 Astronomy is science which has in all ages engaged the attention of the Philosopher, Poet, and Divine, and has been the subject of their study and admiration.
 Kings have descended from their thrones, and endeavored to enrich it by their labors, and humble Shepherds, while watching their hocks by night, have beheld with rapture, the blue vaults of heaven, with it's thousand shi- ming orbs moving in silent grandeur, till the morning star announced the approach of day. The study of this science, must have been CO., evAl with the existence of man. For there is

DEATH OF GEN. GApspEN.--It is with feelings of profound regret that we have to record the unexpected demise of Gen. James Gadsden, last evening. Having, from his youth, occupied large space in public estimation, there is scarcely any form of patriotic service in which he has not shared. In the earlier stage of his career, his position was beneath the stan. dard of his country, under the command of General Jackson, who, with his readi- ness to appreciate merit, bore towards the subject of this notice the warmest person. al regards.
 In civil pursuits, Gen. Gadsden exhib- iued the same patriotic devotion to duty that characterized the other portions oi his career. In diplomacy, his services are too recent and important 10 be soon obliterated from the pubic memory. The Gadsden Purchase" alone, would confer durable honor on his diplomatic efforts.
 In the relations of domestic life he af- forded an example of balanced and properly tempered moral affections, and in his many associations of friendship he was no less model for imitation. Gen. Gads- den had reached his seventieth year.

No definite action was taken, but it is said there was general expression of opinion in favor of united opposition to the democrats.
 - When the London Times condescends to speak of us and our affairs, the usual char acteristics of it's remarks are "great ability of manner and great ignorance of facts"
