Of snow and the cold
Many loads were abandoned in tho middle Of the

A PLucKY PARsoN.-The renowned Parsop
Brownlow, editor of the Knoxville (Tenn.
Whig, filings his defiance to the "rebels' in a
late number of that paper He says:
Southerners in South Carolina, Alabama
and Georgia, are constantly sending in their
insulting epistles to us, and ask discontinu-
ance of their papers because we are opposed
secession. We receive as many new patrons
as we lose old ones but if we were to re-
ceive none, and every man on our list were
withdrawn, we could have no part or lot in
the wickedness and treason of secession. This
effort to break up this Government, led on
by South Carolina, is q bold, wicked, daring
and dalnnable act, for which its wicked Lead
ers ought to be ignominously executed This
whole scheme of disunion is a more consumats
Abolition contrivance than was ever devised
by the North, by the most ultra anti slavery
men, and will work the greatest mischief to
the slave population of the country. 1t will
bring about the overthrow of slavery one
hundred years sooner than the Republican
party could have done it, The cotton States

may go out with them all together, may

enforce the laws, collect her revenue, and

Sr. LOUIS, Feb. 10Th. via. Fort Kearny,
Feb. l6th-The Pacific Railroad bill has been
under consideration in the House. Some
amendments of the Senate have been stricken
out, but no definite action hadyet been taken
on the bill.
The votes for the President and Vice Pres
ident were counted. The result was an
nounced without any excitement.
The navy bill has passed the Senate.
| The investigating committee on the seizure
of the Capital, report that they were unable
to discover any secret organization to seize
Washington.
Nothing as yet has leen done in Congress
| towards a compromise.
1t is thought that the vote on the report of
the eommitte of 33 will not be pressed before
action is taken by the peace congress. The
peace congress is still at work in committee
on plan submitted by Guthrie of Kentucky.
1t is ubstantially that of the Kentucky Legis =
lature or the Crittenden Compromise, but
without n clause relative to the territories
hereafter acquired. 1t has been adopted.
No territory shall be hereafter acquired
without the approval of three'fourths of the
Senate.
The only obstacle in the peace convention
is understood to he the territorial question.

for thus nobody had been hurt. He said
that his policy must be regulated by ever
changing circumstances hence he declines
to indicate what it will be in reference to
the tariff. lie said that he must adhere to
the Chicago platform. On that and all other
subjects, Mr.. Lincoln's speeches were very
gratifying to the ultra Republicans at Wash
ington and elsewhere, but not encouraging to
those who have been hopeful of compro-
mise.
The condition of affairs at the South is un-
changed The new provisional Government
having taken charge of affairs, no assault
upon any of the forts is apprehended at pres
ent. There are unconfrmed rumors of rein
forcements having been sent to Fort Pickcns
and to Forts in Texas.
The Virginia Convention has done nothing
yet IL is said to be waiting the action of
the Peace Congress.
The Texas convention has adjourned.
Georgia and Alabama accept the media
tion of Virginia in their differences with tn,

The Union candidates in Tennessee hav,
been elected 10y probably an aggregate ma
jority of $4,000, and the convention defeate,
by 10000. Very few Sccessionists have bee
elected.

FALLEN FROM GRAcE.-Jefferson Davis, now
President of the Southern Confederacv, ex-
pressed the following sentiments in March,
1859, in answering an invitation to attend q
meeting at Salem, Massachusetts, in honor of
the birthday of jefferson;
If a mind, in the security and repose af-
forded by the shield of united people,
should forget the necessity of cooperation,
and to exalt the individual dignity of the
Sta; es, should seek to paralyze the arm of
the General Government in the same wri-
tings of JeAerson] and in cotemporaneous
texts, it will find the necessity of the liga-
ment which binds us together, and learn to
realize how much the steadness of our step
depends upon the support of hand, the
presence of which can only be uRheeded be
cause the want of it has not been felt by
this truly prosperous generation. To make
war upon the Government then, would be
suicidal, and cannot be anticipated until mad
ness and venality have usurped the seats of
reason and virtue.
