SEVERE Snow SToRM.-About o. clock
yesterday afternoon, severe storm of
snow set in, which is still raging at the
time we write-113 o'clock. The wind
blew furiously, drifting the snow in huge
piles on the streets and pavements, rend-
ering walking extremely difficult, and in
some places, almost impossible. Such a
storm has not been known in this part of
the country for years.
The trains on the E. & c. Railroad
failed to reach the city up to a late. hour
The Freight got as far as Princeton
where it laid up for the passenger train
The latter had not arrived at that point
when last haaxssfspm. There is strong
probability q che passengers spent the
night in a snow bank. IF it drifted as
rapidly up the road as in our streets, the
snow must be at least two and three feet
deep in some of the heavy excavations.
The passengers have orr warmest sym
pathies.
Owing to the storm, no dispatches
came to hand. The mail also failing us,
we present our readers this morning with
n naner somewhat barren of news

RoBBERY OF Sixty DOLLARS Mon
d55 night clerk of one of the steamers
which landed at our wharf thought that
he would take a stroll through the city,
as the boat would not be able to
get through the canal until morning.
He came up to one of our principal no.
tells, where, imbibing too freely, he be-
come intoxicated, and while under the
influence of liquor he hired hack for
the purpose of, as he states, going to the
boat, and while n the hack he fell asleep.
In this condition he was driven around
for some time, @d when he awoke he
found in the hack with himself an aban-
doned female. The thought Immediately
flashed across his mind that all was not
right, and feeling in his pocket he found
that he hadzbeen robbed of sixty dollars
After leaving the hack he reported the
fact to an officer, who arrested the driver
and woman, but as none of the stolen
money was found in their possession they
were let off.-Louisuille Democrat, 30th.

De driven back into Richmond, if it sho1d finally

tennessee and then the Confederaes will stand the

THE ELECTION,

So far returns have been received, and they have

there be doubt about the fact that the people
home have ratified and more than ratified the action

hardly be regarded as factit really looks az though
he had not been running at ali. The thing is SO Who'll
y onesided that it has already ceased to possess any
interest at ALL There is not sufficient contest to make
it interesting.
1t is hardly worth while to speculate upon the causes
which produced this result. They are too plan-they
lie too near the surface to render any explana ton
necessary But to one thing may aliude, and that
is the fact that many who in everything had gone

TguRspAY, the 4th inst, was day OF humiliation
and prayer in the dominions and among the armies OF
the North As this day was set apart by order O.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, end not by command of God, 1t Is
probable that the Yankees paid some respect to it. so
far as a CESSATION of business is CONCERNED; and,
STRANGELY enough did not throw any shells into the
cities of Petersburg Atlanta. They seemed to re-
cognise the fact that God could cot smile upon the
they were wagipg upon women and children and old
men, yet such is their everyday occupation, and their
avoidance of it on ore day is but mockery and de-
ception, which they practice upon Themselves bet
not practice upon God
How these men, with hands red with slaughter, ar d
hearts black with hatred and crue can dare approach
their maker with prayers which can only be regarded
basphemies or hope for forgiveness whilst abound
ing in arrogance and presumption, is thing which We
are unable to understand.
There may be come good and pious men in the Yan
kee armies, perha ps there but these declin
3D. They to be pitd. But men like LINCOLN
and SEWARD not deceived and not good and pi
GUS men. Their whining humiliation and prayer To
Almighty God is neither more nor less than hypocrisy
OF the "rnosi straitest stct."
And yet it may be that these men have some idea
of deprecating the divine wrath which they have justly
incurred The devils themselves believe and trembie
and so may tbsse earthly fends. But they should bring
forth forth fruits meet for repentance showing them
selves sorry for the evil they have done, ceasng longer
to work nqai'y and making restitution to the utmost

But none Ct thzse things will they do. They will
