SNOw.-During the present week, we
have been enjoying most excellent sleigh
iny-the best we have been favored with
the present winter, probably. The snow
lies to the depth Of fully Il foot, with no
indications as We write of speedy depar-
ture. Farmers with lumber to "get oat,
those who have been awaiting favorable
opportunity to fill their ice houses, gay
aud festive youth and beauty, and posses
sors of specimens Of the equine genus
generally, are going it extravagantly aud
to the best of their ability In as much
as this will most likely be the last wag of
the hammer considered in reference to
sleighinS,-for the matter of a twelve
month, we mean all we have to say is,
'Go it.' With or without gloves, in
extenso, and four beats to the measure -
How now we glide DER the whitening
crest, care fitting far from cur blest, etc
And enough said
+. s.: Should any of our readers be-
come impressed with the opinion that it
devolves upon him, as whole souled,
good fellow, to tender US an invitation to
occupy seat in his sleigh some of these
hrSt hne evenings, we pledge ourself to
receive his proposal kindly. Office hours

Whereds, The melancholy DUTY devolves
upon US to announce to this Lodge the de-
cease of our much beloved brother Richard
NJ Jones: Brother Jones fell at the battle IN
front of Fredericksburg, Va, on the 18th day
of December last-he fell like brave man,
with his front to the foe-he fell alongside
many of his noble comrades, who were each
moment lessening under fierce and over
whelming attack of an outnGmbering enemy
he fell with these words upon his lips. 'lf
| die this day, die happy" Brother JoGes
was a warm and generous member OF our
Order; he was of fine and commanding ap-
pearance intellect, frankuess and generosity
were stamped upon his features; his smiles
were cheerful, his manners genial, nor did
the outward appearance belle the man-he
was what he seemed to be: Therefore,
BE e ResoiUed, That the loss of our deceas-
ed Brother will be source of regret, and VIII
be deerly felt by our Lodge.
Resoiced, That we clothe our Lodge in
mourning for the space of thirty days, In
memory of our deceased Brother.
Re$oloed, That the above Preamble and
Resolutions be published in the two newspa-
pers in EtenSburg, and a copy. of the same be
forwarded to tie parents of our deceased
Brother

to that fourishing burg, Altoona, we called
to see our particular friend, Hen u Pike,

doing an excellent business, and stands
high in the estimation of the honest peo-

MEXICO.

The later Mexican intelligence which We
received yesterday from Vera Cruz reduces
somewhat tho importance of the French sue
cess before Puebla. A diary OF n French
officer, which is published in the Diario Of
Havana, detailing tue events from the 2Oth oil
April To the 18th OF May. makes no mention
ut all of Fort Totlmehuacan, whose capture
according to the frat accounts, decided the
fall of Puebla. Ii does not appear that the
French were IN possession OF any fort, except
san Jayier; and nothing but the want OF food
aud ammunition compelled the Mcxicans 10
surrender. According to the Mexican account,
published in the Heraido of Mexico, General
forey was willing on May IL 10 allow the
garrison to march of, carrying their arms and
with their standards uniurlcd, il they would
TAXI the pledge To remain neutral until the
end OF the war THIS the officers unan-
mously declined, und accordingly they surrcn.
dercd Il, discretion on May IL. Gen. Ortega
bad previously dsbnnded the army, ordering
them to report If possible, 10 the National
Government. lie had also ordered Al! the
guns, ruskets, aud weapons, to be destroyed.
Tho number OF prisoners taken is, according
TO the French account, about 1900.
The Diario OF Havana, paper which has
always been partial 10 the Preach, contains n
report which wc should bo inclined to diobo
cvo did 1t not appear in the DiaTio, that
while being conveyed from Puebla to Vera
Cruz, Gen. Ortcga, some 10 or II Othcr gem
erals, about 800 minor officers, and about
1900 soldiers, made good their escape.
The loss OF the Mexicans is nevertheless u
severe one. One of their best armies Ia, at
least. dissolved for the present, and their loss
in artillery is entirely irreparable. Still, they
bear up under tho great disaster with u cour-
age which challenges and is sure to receive
the admiration Of the world. The appeal of
President JInrez to tho Mcxcans is n noble
production Of lofty patriotism. and it will

AS we rejoiced when Thomas III. Seymour
was nominated for Governor OF Connecticut,
We most heartily rejoice that Clement i. VAL
landigham ia the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor Of Ohio. There is no cyading the issue
which this nomination makes up. OF the two
conflicting theories which distract our country
with regard to the origin Of our Civil War
that which afiirms that it grew out of 4 revolt
by tho Slave Power against the Federal Gov
crnmcnt, and that which attributes it to a
revolt Of the Government against tho natural,
constitutional supremacy Of the Slave Power
Mr.. Vallandigbam has ever held consistently
and firmly to the latter While Breckinridge
remained in Congress, Val. stood second among
the champions Of the Rebellion in Congress;
81 - Breckenridge deserted his seat to take a
c, nand in the Rebel army, Val. has been
r. r counsel for the Shareholders Revolt in
H.. Councils Of the Nation. We cannot recall
q single remark he has made there, n single
vote he has given, which should not have COM
inauded tho instant and hearty approval of
JEFF. Davis or any other siuveholdiug traitor.
True, Val. 10 for the Uhion but 1t is the
Union 10 adapted and accommodated to the
dictates aud interests Of the shareholders that
they could not, for very shamc, even seem to
wish TO break out of it. In the Winter OF
1861, he proposed in their behalf n radlcal
change Of the Federal Constitution whereby
our country should be divided into quarters
and each of them be armed with veto on every
act Of Congress. This would be a return to
all the vices without tho virtues of the old
revolutionary Confederation. And from that
dny onward his idea of "thc Constitution as
it is," has practically been "Ths Constitution
as the Slave Power shall from time to time
choose 10 have it,"
The Federal band having been stretched to
the utmost to grasp Louisiana. Florida, Texas,
in the interest of Slavery, is henceforth To be

ably AN oiienso TO give false names, but surely ono
may decline TO give any information ut all. There
