The Last Snow.

We trust it is the last. Ii came Friday af.
ternoon, evening all day Saturday, and til Sun
day noon. Measurements disagree, varying
from nineteen to twenty-six inches. 1t was
the heaviest and deepest snow of the winter
Fortunately, it was not accompanied or sue
cecded by severe blow. 1t lies mainly where
it fell Its great weight has, questonAbly,
caused much damage in crushing in structures
that never before were subjected to the pressure
Of such superintendent mass.
We arc now past the middle of the firstmonth
of Spring. yet there is scarcely in the sky, or on
the cath, any evidence Of its approach. The
rivers are locked in ice The fields are wrapped
in the thick mantle of the snow. But under
meath it the earth lies warm, and behind the
clouds the sun is every day riding higher in the
heavens The bright days and warm rains, that
are but just ahead, will soon show the brown
Earth to the husban oman, and send the streams
foaming and flashing down their full and over
flowing channels. We hope to escape great
foods here, but the rivers that are fed from
sources far back in the forests and high up
among the mountains, will be transformed by
the melting snow into swollen and devastating
| torrents.
We are apprehcnsive that the great burden OF
snow, and the lateness of the Spring, will seri-
ously diminish the product of maple sugar, as
the ground cannot be frozen much, and, as soon
as it is uncovered by warm days, the trees will
put forth their buds, Sand just at present it is
almost impossible for the farmers to get into
their sugar orchards. We are assured, however
that the sugar makers are keeping sharp look
out for the first 9 rum" and will secure what il
possible of the sweets Of the maple

nand every point of the river. Tt seems now
impossible for whatever rebels there may be be-
tween Hickman and New Madrid to escape, ex-
cept in a thoroughly scattered and demorallzed
condition.
The later reports of the battle at Pea Ridge
only add to the completeness of the Union vic
tory, and furnish evidence that the army there
defeated, can never rally and make head again
From up the Tennessee we hear of an expedi
ton under Gen. Q. +. Smith at Savannah, with
IN thirty or forty miles oe the northern line of
Mississippi and Alabama, and it is an expedition
so formidable in its dimensions as to furnish evil
dence that it is intended to co operate with the
expedition down the Mississippi in an attack on
Memphis, and afterwards on New Orleans. 1t
will very soon, if it has not already, cut off
communication by rail from the river toward
the East, and leave the rebels in the great val
ley to fight their battles alone.
Though we hear nothing recen. from our ar
my which passed through Nashville, it must be
moving toward the Gulf if not with a rapid, yet
with an irresistible step. The mountain divis-
ion under Fremont will soon report itself on its
Southern journey. The Army of the Potomac
is already in motion. There the rebels yet hold
the most Northern of all their defences. But
Mcclellan assures US that he will there, and
now, strike the death blow to the rebellion, and
the nation is rejoicing in the hope that that blow
is, for no reason, to be any longer delayed
Jeff Davis must soon be a fugitive flying for his
life, and there is to be no rest, we believe, for
him or his rebellion, till both are crushed, or
driven together into the Gulf. Let the good
work 20 on. If the nextsix weeks contracts
the limits of the rebellion Us have the last SIX the

Progress.

The activity which now for nearly two months
has characterised all the operations under Gen.
Hallecks command, is still producing its legiti-
male fruit. The rebels have at last been driven
from their last foothod in Western Kentucky,
by the capture Of Hickman with million dol
lars worth of spoilS. This is the first fruit of
che long talked of expedition down the Misss-
sippi, which is now actually under way in
charge of the brave Commodore Foote. New
Madrid, captured by our land forces, is some
distances below Hickman, as the river runs, but
on nearly the same parallel Of latitude. Island
No. 10, which has been held by the rebels, will
doubtless be Immediately, if it has not already
been, abandoned, as it will be wholly unable to

Island, matter not so easy OF accomplishment.

err given to aid in the erection OF church I'M
less it will pay the last bills and leave the church
free from incumbrance. 1t is most frequently
called upon to help societies ill the West, where
the population is scattered and the church small,
in the recent settlements that have been planted
all over that land of praries. Mr.. l. is solicit

that, while its receipts are very much lessened
this year, the calls upon it for aid have been
doubled. We regret that the driving and drift
ing snow should have made the congregation so
small as VIC are sure that no one who heard the
speaker could fail to respond generously to this
call for aid. IL isn't a charity, but a duty, for
those who have comfortable and commodious
houses of worship, to give Of their abundance
