The calm, victorious, and virtuous manhood
of George Washington has not been too gen.
erally illustrated in the lives OF public func-
tionaries since the days of the first congress.
Iguoble men flourish now as they did in the
DAVIS of the royal blockhead George III. And
Young men are mastered by the same high re
solve that guided young Washington the sur.
veyor, as he turned his face towards the I'M
measured wilderness. Could we borrow Prince
Ais tube, in the Arabian Nights, and look
into the future fifty years, we should doubtless
see nearly the same proportion of rascals, nom
entities, and men jealous lor.the right as now
And the memory of the first American-frst in
war, first in peace first in the hearts OIL coun-
trymen-woud still be cherished by a people
not unmindful of his imperishable influence
on the destiny of the republic. We have been
damned in a quiet lie,'' and while marveling
at the lengthening lines of railroad bars and
telegraph wire running from lake to gulf and
ocean to ocean, have not been over demonstra
tive on the ODD of February. But the roaring
tide of civil war breaks in, sweeping down
false statues and unmasking villainy. Once
more, true hearts turn with fond faith to the
lights of other days. And brightest in the
constellation shines that of the brave soldier
the wise legislator, the incorruptible patriot

THE INAUGURATION OF JEFF. DAVIS.
THE FEELING IN RICHMOND OVER TIL
FEDERAL VICTORIES.

a correspondent Of the New York Herald,
who processes to be well posted on affairs in
Richmond, writes letter from Baltimore,
under date of the 18th inst, from which we
make the following extracts. 1t will be seen.
that the Inauguration OF the rebel chieftaiu
promises to be rather gloomy ceremony.
The statements, purporting to emanate from
rebel congressman, deserve consideration.
The writer says
The most extensive preparations had been
made in Richmond for the inaupuration of
jeff Davis as president on the 22d inst The
ceremony was to have been performed with
all the pomp and spendor that could be de
vlsed. a military parade and banquet were
to add to the attractions of the occasion. and
grand ball was to conclude the festivities of
the day. Now, however, all this is chang
ed. In view of the serious reverses that have
happened, the ceremony is to be of the sim
plest kind, without pomp or parade, Without
any military display, without banqueting or
teasting; and as to the ball, as one of the
ladies said, ut would be disgraceful to be
dancing and enjoying ourselves alter such
defeats, and while our poor soldiers are SUI
teriug." So the ball, too, has been aban.
doned.
On SUNDAY last the SPOTS God House. and
the pavement in front Of it, were filled with
excited crowds, discussing the news from fort
DOnelson and the critical condition of the
contederacy. a prominent member of the
rebel congress, whose relations to the rebel
president give great weight to his words. de.
cared "that the day had now come in which
the southern confederacy was to pass through
the fire; that the events of the next three
months would decide whether or not the south
ern people are worthy of being an independent
nation; that the fortune OF war consists of al.
ternate victories and reverses, and that, hav-
ing had their day of triumph, they were now
about to experience period of defeats that
the preparations Of so skiJfh and scientific a Gen.
eral as Nc Cleiian, made at his leisure resuhjng in
the formation Of an army of 600 900 soldiers, 9Th

Unionists had gained would be of no advan.

Some four or five members of Co. G, tClin

Four contrabands came into the camp of the

Twelve others started out with them, but con.

They said large number of negoes intended
to go over to the Maryland shore soon. They
were sent to Washington.

three cheers and the regiment responded with

delighted were the men with the happy news
that their feelings were utterly uncomfortable.
and the soldiers were repeatedly awakened by
the frequent cheers OF the guard. A national
salute was fired by order of Gen German. and
the band played during the evening. AT

This is only one lot of prisoners released
thus far, but arrangements have been made

The undersigned, having heard an appeal
for aid from the Soldiers Relief Society, re-
specially suggest the following plan for that
purpose.
We propose that they should open Mechan-
les Hall, Tuesday evening. next week, and
invite all interested to Join them then and
there. Should we meet simply to greet old
friends, and make new ones, to congratulate
each other on the happy events of the past
week, and to pay our humble tax at the door
we shall have done much for ourselves, and
something for the suffering soldier But we
hope for more. We can make an effort for n
promenade concert, and perhaps our friends
will supply our tables with refreshments
which we can dispense in aid of the cause,
Where all are animated by one spirit, refresh
ments, music, patriotic songs, promenade.
and pleasant greetings, will make the evening
one OF unadulterated pleasure. We hope to
see Worcester so fully represented as 10 sus
tain the reputation of the heart Of the COM
monwealth, which has ever beat true to the
Union and the cause of humanity.
We have not yet recovered from the thrill
we felt when the news of those western bat
ties first reached us But with the shout of
victory comes the cry of the wounded. Can
we turn deaf ear to the cry while we listen
to the echo of the victory?
Let us remember what each manned and
wounded man has suffered and sacrificed for
the common good and for one evening let
him be our "neighbor,' aud do what we can
to alleviate suffering we cannot cure.

DAMAGE FROM THE SNow.-The heavy
weight Of snow upon the roofs of many of the
buildings, has greatly endangered their safety.
In some instances the pressure has been so
great as to dispace the brick walls. Had
rain set in, increasing the weight of the snow,
the amount Of damage done to buildings from
this cause must have been immense. The
only safety is in removing the snow from the
roofs as soon as possible.l

ing to the roof of Barnard, Sumner, & Co. Is
yesterday, did considerable damage to the
skylight on the latter, falling through 10 the

snow drift.
As Mr.. John Regain was upon the roof of
Goddard's block, attending to the removal of
the snow, slide took place, carrying him,
ladder and all, TO the side walk, and injuring
him considerably, it was thought at the time
seriously, but he is now recovering from the
effects of the fall.
