The Ice IN THE PoToMAc.-The Alexandra,
Gazette, of yesterday, says
The steamer Powhatan, for Acquia Greek
on Tuesday morning, on her way down the ri.

| tact with large mass of ice that had accumu
lated between Sheridan's Point and the Fort
and got jammed in SO that she could not make
her way out Yesterday morning the steamer
PhiladelphiaWentt to the assis tan ce of the Pow.
hatan, when she, TOO, became damned in the
same mass OF ice, about fifty yards from the
Powhatan, and could no, get out The pas.
sengers from the steamer Powhatan go,
ashore on the Virginia side, and walked ba ok
10 this city, Yesterday, arriving here about
noon They reported both the steamers hard
and fast in the ice, with but slight pros pee I
for speedily getting off.
The new iron steamer Philadelphia is to al
ternate with the Powhatan to Acquia Greek
during the winter, thus securing a double dali
ly service between Washington and Richmond
during thu season, which las been uncertain
since the closing of the Potomac by the ice.
The Philadelphia was built expressly to run
between Norfolk and Seaford, Del, at which
latter point she is to connect with the New
York and Southern air. line route; and will
commence her service there with the spring
opening.
THE MASSACHUSETTS PERSONAL LrDRRrY
BILL.-The Boston Courier concludes a re-
view of the Personal Liberty bill of Massa-
chusetts as follows:
"That is where Massachusetts now stands
The Personal Liberty bill is either Il dead let
ter--a wooden gun, a stuffed scare-crow-or it
Is possible and potential civil war. With this
law upon our statute-b book, all our professions
of attachment to the Constitution of the Uni
ted States are but 'as sounding brass and a
tnkling cymbal.' Here is a statu te W hich every
body in Massachusetts knows to have been
passed solely to neutraliZe and nu!lify the Flu
gitive Slave Law. 1t is a law for which the
Republican party, and none else, are response
BILE. And yet there is not a member Of that
party from Massac husetts on the floor of Con-
gress that will stand up like man and avow
this to have been the object of the law; and if
intsrrogatsd, they would, probably, make their
escape In some sounding nonsense about Ii
berty and the rights of man. And this want
OF manliness In our public men is, to our
minds, one Of the most melancholy fac is in our
present state of politics. They blow hot and
cold. They say one thing in Massachusetts,
and another in Washington. Here they caress
Abolitionism, and there they deprecate it''

Order News.

We continue to receive cheering news from
various parts of the jurisdiction. The temper
auce ball is still in motion, and temperance mel
are up and at work. We publish in another
column an encouraging letter from Clinton Di
vision in Laurens District. Florence Division
we learn, is in o prosperous condition, adding tt
its number of members and lady visitors, a
every meeting.
Both the Divisions at Timmonsville seem tt
be on the advance, and taking heart of hope fol-
increased usefulness and efficacy. They are do
ing a good work in Chester, and temperance
principles are taking hold of the public mind il
all that section. Chester and Sandy River Di
visions are gaining in numbers and exerting
powerful influence for good. The late demon
~stration there was a most complete and brillian'
success. We hear occasionally from York, the
banner district. They are still at work there
and the good cause in gaining ground.
A communication in this issue from Brother
Clowney shows that Temperance matters abou
baskerville are moving in the right direction
Lone Star, De Graffenreid, Beaver Greek, .snc
Marion Divisions are fully alive to the import
ance of the work, and are welding an influence
for good which is being felt and acknowledged
throughout all that section of country. At thu
last meeting of Bennettsville Division, we initia'
ted FIVE, and as we foretold last week, a gooc
influence is following our late anniversary de-
monstratlon.
The last news from Taylor Division was high
ly encouraging, and limitations were taking place
at every meeting. Brother Norris writes from
Edge6eld, that Norris Division is Going a gooc
work, and the minds of the people are being Ell
lightened on the subject of temperance. At Q
recent public meeting there, twenty-five mem
bers were added to the list of membership, 6
goodly number of whom were ladies.-Son O.

Blondin on Flre-Narrow Escape.

Mons. Blondin, the celebrated tight.rQpe per
former, met with a serious accident a few night:
ago, during his exhibition at Chilicothe, Ohio.
The Cincinnati Gazette says:
After dusk he gave q performance of trundling
a wheelbarrow across a rope, and to make the
feat more terrific, he encircled himself in a b'aze
of fireworks, which were ignited simultaneously
with his starting. Before he had accomplished
half of his task, one of the pieces prematurely
exploded and set fire to his clothing. The peril
of his situation could not be seen by the thou
sands of spectators below, in consequence of the
continued emissions of sparks, and the adventur,
Gus Blondin had nothing to do but walk the rope
and suffer the torture of being slowly roasted.
Having accomplished the distance, he, by his
own efforts, succeededin extinguishingt the flames,
but not before his back was very badly burned.
The rope was stretched across the street, at q
distance of Is feet from the ground, and none
save Blondin could have withstood the pain he
must have suffered. Weare inclined to the opin.
ion that Mons. will not attempt any more tight
rope performances with pyrotechnic concomi'
tants. 1t is very we'll to hazard the surging
waters Of Niagara, in hand baskets, cofee-sacks,
&c., but shrouded in q sheet of flame, with a
chance of burning to death, added to that OF
falling, smacks o little too much of the danger
Gus to be much relished even by the intrepid
Blondin.

DavJDSON COLLEGE.

The Trustees of Davidson College, met il
Charlotte on the 9th instant, and made the fol
lowing provision for the vacancies in that insti
tuition:
The President elect, DR.. J. A. WADDELL, hav
ing sent up a conditional declinature, the Boart
agreed that no further action be taken in refer
ence to the Presidency, until the issue of such
circumstances, now pending, as will allow eishei
his acceptance or positive refusal.
Professor W. H. WADDELL, nephew of the
President elect, and now in service in the Uni
versity of Georgia, at Athens, was elected te
the chair of Greek, vacated by Professor FISH.
BuRNE.
The Professorship of Natural Philosophy ana
Astronomy, was filled by the election of GEORGE
NJ. EDGAR, now Professor in the North Carolina
Military Institute, at Charlotte.
The Professors chosen are both young men,
but for their age, have a reputation as scholars,
which will add to the attractions and efficiency
of Davidson College.
Professor V. C. BARR1NGER will enter upon
his duties in the chair Of Bellies Lettres, next
February, he being allowed, in the meantime,
to serve in the Senate of North Carolina, to
which he has been recently elected q member.
Thus the Professorships of Davidson College
numbering six besides the Presidential filled
and a capital, real and prospective, of more
than three hundred thousand dollars, place her
in the front rank Of UNCONVENTIONAL Colleges,
and will doubtless secure for her q patronage
worthy of her name, character and facilities, for
a sound, substantial and thorough education.
