seem to be on the increase The
paragraph below is from the Lake
City I,icleAe, the Gentle Journal
The universal topic of conversa-

violent character of the harangucs,
on Sunday last at the Tabernacle,
and in the evening ward meetings.
We are told that universal and
bitter onslaught was made on the
. GENTLE population. The congrega-
/ ton were counseled by the teachers
to withhold their patronage from
those enemies of the people'-the
Gentiles-and warned against deal
ing with outside merchants

EFFECTS OF THE THAw-- INTERRUPTION TO

EFFECTS OF THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TO
TRAvEL.-The thaw has commenced 10 earnest,
and its effects, up to this time, have been to ia
terrupt the travel between the Northern and
Southern States Of America, through Washing
ton city, in consequence of the partial destruction
of thel4ong and Railroad jbridgesaoyerthe Pc
tomac River Two spans Of the railroad bridge
on its northern end, next to the draw, aud one
span of the Long bridge, on its southern end
together with all the buildings on it, haNesbeen
Rarried away by the ice and the frcshet. The
portion Of the long bridge, with, tue: buildings
which have been carried away, are pressing
against the railroad bridge, and affording bet
ter tulcrum upon which3theice and water have
to act 1t is seriously feared that both these
bridges will be utterly destroyed The track OF
the Washington, Alexandra, and Georgetown
Railroad, near the southern end of the bridge,
has been washed away by the lreshet which
is now pouring over that portion OF Mason
Island. The passengers from the South who
arrived this morning on the Orange and Al
exandria train, were carriedIa far as the wash
on the Washington Railroad, but were then
brought back to this city, and sent from here
in omnibusses and hacks, by the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad Company to the South
ern end of the Alexandria Canal! Aqueduct,
over which they walked to Georgetown, where
they took the street cars and again resumed
their journey. The passengers by the train
this evening will be carried in the cars as
far Fort Runyon, from which point omni-
buses will take them to the Aqueduct. :
The local travel between. this city and Wash
iugton is now altogether via. the; canal aque-
duct, over which however, as there is no bridge,
passengers have to walk and freight has to be
handled. The ice opposite this city has not
yet give away, but has become soft, and the
muddy water of the ireshet is rising above its
surface and disco!oring it. One man, however,
walked across it this morning from the Mary
land shore, but had not the: temerity to rctrace
his steps though business required him to do

pose of towing up the steamer Ella .. Knight,
