FIFTEEN TO TWENTY FEET OF Snow

FIFTEEN TO TWENTY FEET OF Snow.
A letter dated Gorham. N. H., July 18th,
speaks Of the discovery of snow in the
Tuckerman Rayme as follows:
In visiting Tuckerman's Rayine, the
snow was found to be from Is to 20 feet
in depth, its melting on the upper end
furnishing most beautiful variety of cas-.
cades, whose waters in their fall sparkled
like diamonds in the sun. Around and
just above the ravine may be counted
thirty distinct patches Of snow, some OF
large size, which, although exposed to the
direct rays Of the sun for near ten hours,
are still left as testimonies to the awful
depths of snow thrown there during the
winter, As the snow is thawing away,
vegetation is seen just starting, as the
snowdrops and other flowers and plants
do in the vicinity of Boston the last Of
March or the FIRST of April.

Pony Nxws.-By the arrival of the Pony
on Saturday evening, we have dates from
ST. Louis to the 18th inst. The movement
oftroops in Maryland indicate that dem
onstratiOn will shortly be made against the
secession troops at Harper's Ferry. The
Massachusetts, troops, under Gen. Butler,
had extended their outposts ten miles be-
yond the Relay House, in The direction Of
Harper's Ferry, and some of the Pensylva-
MIA troops were moving towards the same
point from the north. There were about
1000 troops at Harper's Ferry, and they
will soon be compelled to abandon that po-
sition, or be overwhelmed with superior
numbers. Two privateers had been cap.
tured by U. S. frigate, near Garduer's
Island, and taken into New London, Conn.
Latest advices state that there are only
$4,000 rebel troops in Virginia, of whom
10000 are at Richmond, and 10000 at
Norfolk. About 81, 900 Federal troops are
'encamped in and near Washington City.
There is report that the Governors of the
free States have obtained pledge from
Lincoln that there shall be no cessation of
hostlltles until the Federal flag floats over
all the Federal property also that the
Governors Of Ohio and Pennsylvania have
guaranteed the Union men of Kentucky
and Western Virginia assistance against
the secessionists, if necessary. The Plug
U.glies and Blood Tubs of Baltimore are
cowed for the present. Ross Winans, a
wealthy man Of Baltimore, who has been
furnishing the secessiouists with arms and
ammunition, has been arrested aud taken
to Fort McHenry.

The ReslgnIng ORcers.

One of the officers of the Sixth Infantry,
who lately resigned to accept position in
the Confederate Army, was asked what be
would do in case the seeded States should
resume their allegiance in the Union. He
replied "Ob, it is all arranged that should
the seeded States return to the old Union
again, we will be reinstated in our old po-
siiions; this will be one of the provisions
of the new adjustment From this it
would appear that the resgning army Off
GERS have no great confidence 10 the ability
of the Confederacy to maintain itself, and
for that reason have had assurances from
the politicians who are managing the rebel
lion that they will be provided for in the
"Dew adjustment" So many offers of COM
promise were made to the disaffected States
that IL seems never to have entered the
minds of the rebel leaders that they would
ever be refused any terms they might ex.
act as the price of peace. Tho seizure of
forts. arsenals, miDts, custOm-houses, and
robbery of Government property might have
been overlooked, but the FIRST gun fired at
Sumter raised storm which is altogether
beyond the control of the politicians who
inaugurated the rebellion. Compromise is
now out of The question. The rebels must
now maintain their position as an independ-
ent nation, or submit unconditiOnaly, and
abide the result of the contest they have
provoked. Neither the officers nor SOL
diers in the regular army, who have re-
mained loyal to the Government, would
consent to serve again with those who have
resigned and accepted commissions in JEFF.
Davis army.

KINGS OF ITALY.-A letter from Turin says:
ait may not be without interest to state some
thing of the princes who, before Victor Eman-
uel, have borne the title of King of Italy. They
are seventy-two in number. The first was
Odoace, chief of the Herule (476), and the last
Napoleon l. $500. Among the most illustri-
Gus Of those sovereigns were Theodore, the
Goth; Charlemagne; the Italian Arduin; and
Napoleon. Five only belong to the Italian ma
ton; Derenger l., Duke de Friol (6lS); Guido,
Duke de Spoleto and Camerino (SS9); Beren-
ger H., Marquis d'Ivrea (950); Adalbert, his
son $3.50; and Arduin Marquis d'Ivrea (l0O2).
Berenger ii. is one of the ancestors of Victor
Emanuel. The descendants of bis son Adal-
bert, after having long wandered in exile, came
to Savoy. Amedeus Ill, in ll08 took the title
of Count, which Amedeus Will, in ll9l
changed into that of Duke. 1t was in 1875 that
Victor Amedeus III. took the name of King of
Sardinia, borne by eight soyereigns, including
the last Victor Emanuel H., on whom the Par
lament has just conferred the crown of Italy.
This title had not been taken from the time Of
Charles V. in 1880, to Napoleon l. in 1905.

Fort PICKENs.-Late advices from the
squadron off Fort Pickens state that there
is no change in the military status there.
The squadron, in accordance with insiruc
tions, had put stop to the landing of yes
sells from Mobile and New Orleans, with sup
plies for the Confederate army, which
amounts to complete blockade. 1t ap-
pears the rebel troops have been almost
wholly supplied with provisions from those
two points. The stopping of these supplies
it is thought, will be most disastrous TO the
troops, as they we're but poorly supplied
before. Their provisions will now have to
be transported long distance by land, over
bad roads.
