B2TuE RAlSs AND tue RAILROADS.
The recent heavy rains and tllnwiug wea-
ther have done the railroads good deal
of harm. The rocks on the hill sides and
deep cuts along the different roads, becom-
ing free to move, have taken advantage
of the wet spell to roll down upon the
track. The Baltimore & Ohio road, usu-
ally free from such hindgances, has been
somewhat troubled On n esday, the
express trnia which should have arrived
at 9 O'Clock did not arrive until late in the
evening, having encountered unavoidable
distractions upon the track. The train
which started eastward the same evening
met with similar interruptions and had to
return to this city after proceeding a few
miles. The train left yesterday morning
and will no doubt go through without any
trouble.

h9- FALSE ALARM.--There WAS an
alarm of FIRE at an early hour last evening,
and the bells in one or more of the engine
houses commenced ringing violently. 1t
is seldom we witness such an excitement
as this alarm created. There was a sim
ultaneous roar of "6re" from not less than
three hundred throats, and wild mob
rushed through the streets believing like
herd of infatuated bulls. We looked
out aud expected to see the whole city ''lit
up" with great conaagration, but instead
of that We found
"Darknos' there, and nothing more"
There was not even city gas-light flick
erins. There was no Gre at alI except in
the stoves and CRATES of the residences
and shops.

WASHINGTON, Jan. lG Col. Hayne, tho
Commissioner from South Carolina has, il
is understood, moderated his views since
his arrival here. He will remain here for
several days longer. The opinion is all
most unanimous in secession circles that
u collision for the present should be stu
diously avoided. He has been in daily
communication with the leaders of tie
secession men who are opposed to preCipi-
tating hostilities. 1t is believed that a
strong representation has within two dnvs
past been sent to the authorities of South
Carolina urging them to afford Mni An
dersOn every facility for marketing ard 9TH
er domestic supplies.
A plan is now before the Committee on
Federal relations of the Virginia House of
Delegates, in session at Richmond, which
is regarded with much interest in political
circles. The idea originated with Mr..
Pryor, of the Federal House of Represen.
ltAtlves, and has received the cordial en-
dorsement of Senators Crittenden, Douglas
and Breckinrldge and Hon. Vim. q Rives
and other distinguished gentlemen, en-
bracing all shades of Southern and con-
sentative opinions. The plan consists of a
series of resolutions proposing,
First. That there must be some definite
and conclusive settlement of the slavery
question between the two Sections of the
country or a separation will be inevitable.
Second. The Crittenden compromise as
amended BIS Mr.. Douglas, as basis of fIi.
and honorable adjustment, is the least that
Virginia feels she could take asa settle
ment.
Third. The appointment of a Commits
sioner TO each State in the Union, present
ing the action of Virginia and inviting n
response TO the measure of Cancellation.
Fourth. "A strong appeal to the Federal
Government to stay its hand and avoid all
acts which maytend to a collision pending
the mediation Of Virginia.
WAsHINGToS, Jan. l7.-Although the
Republican Senators voted against the
Crit'endtn compromises, Yesterday, their
chief objection was to that part which
proposed to divide the territory which
may hereafter be acquired. Buta measure
of that character, confined to theipresent
territory, meets with some degree OF favor
with the Republicans in both branches Of
Congress.
1t is known in .he most reliable Repub-
lican circles, that, SO far, Messrs. Seward
and Bates, and probably AIR. Wells, of
Conn, will occupy places in AIr. Lincoln's
Cabinet. The other appointments will
not be absolutely determined till the
arrival here Of the President elect.

E3S@ NEEDLESS ALALA.-A good deal of
needless alarm exists in Cincinnati, says
the Gaeetts, "among our provision mer-
chants, about the safety of property COM
signed to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
for traushipment to New York, and We
heard yesterday OF several lots of box
meats and lard contracted from this city,
and from Terre Haute and other points on
the Wabash river, which were to have
gone forward by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, being countermanded, the par
ties controlling the property intending to
send it by the Pennsylvania Central or
New York Roads. wo do not really think
there is sufficient ground, as yet, for any
such approximations as arc expressed by
shippers. The Baltimore and Ohio. Rail-
road is abund9utly able, as we said yes
terday, and will protect all its bills of
lading, OF the bills of its immediate rail
connections, the Marietta. and Central
Ohio Railroads, were any attempt made to
seize or detaiu this freight. Nor do we
believe that the States of Virginia or
Maryland, or the city of Baltimore, would
ever permit SO suicidal an act to be per-
petrated as to modest any property which
should be consigned 70; its great national
road for transportation. Upon this point
we think our merchants should rest satis-
hs !, for there is as yet. at least, no just
ground of apprehension"

dark and the streets and crossings muddy,

AS we have said before there is nobody to
blame for this except the moon. It's the

but We submit that no contract should be

with the Almanac. Luna is exceedingly
beautiful and very useful and has been
very much admired in all ages by women,
small children, and sentimental people
generally; she has been apostrophiscd by
poets, bayed ut by dogs, and has many a
