Great Snow Storm.

The severe storm which prevailed
here on Thursday and Thursday night
of last week was fearful one South
and East In Boston and vicinity the
wind blew a terrible gale, and the air
was so thickly filed with flakes of
snow that it was impossible to distin-
guish people few feet off In many
of the narrow streets snow fell to the
depth of four or five feet above the
level of the sidewalks Business men
residing little out of the city, were
compelled to remain, either in the ho-
tells which were crowded to their ut
most capacity, or in their counting
rooms or Offices On Friday business
was nearly suspended, it being almost
impossible to deliver goods. The Bos-
ton papers of Friday and Saturday,
which devote considerable of their
space to an account of the storm, tell
us that on Friday morning in many
cases occupants of houses had to dig
their way out through banks which
reached to the top of the doors, and in
some instances to the second story
windows. Miikmen, bakers and
newspaper carriers in most instances
failed to go their accustomed rounds,
and there were a good many unsatis-
factory breakfasts, with neither hot
rolls, cream or newspapers.
The railroads leading out of Boston
were completely blockaded No trains
left on the Fitchburgh road on Friday.
Boston papers due at ST. Adams Fri
day morning did not reach here until
late Saturday
A vessel named the Julia Anu, was
wrecked off Cape Cod, but the Captain
and crew were fortunately saved
The vessel was from Baltimore and
bound for Boston, and had cargo OF
conl consigned to the Boston and
Maine Road The barque Velma and
two of her crew were lost near Ply
mouth. Several other vessels wer,
wrecked in the Bay, but with small
loss Of life.
The snow fell very deep in Phila
delphia, New York and other places
The train which left Washington
Thursday morning did not reach New
York until Friday night.

THE TRANSCRIPT.
Friday, January %, 1867.
Threats OF War.

The threats now being made by
certain Democratic politicians and
presses, will not at all ntimidatc eth
er Congress or the loyal masses. On
the other hand, they only serve to
widen the breach which already OK
lists between the people and the Presi
dent, for it is supposed that these
threats arc made with the full APPROX
al Of the latter The President has
himself undertaken to bully and
frighten, and signally failed. The
people have their own notions on mat
ters appertaining to reconstruction,
and they propose to firmly adhere to
them in tpite Of threats Of general
intornecino war" Mr. Edmund Burke,
who is thoroughly encased in copper.
at the Democratic Convention held at
Concord, n H., last week used the
following languages
/ hope, gentlemen, that the people
of this country viii not tamely submit
to the CONTINUATION Of the sovereign
States Of this Union, and the over
throw of constitutional liberty They
have made up their minds, not only to
resolve, bat TO act. Resolutions and
protests on paper are mere cowardly
eXpedients if not backed up by firm
ana brave purpose to sustain them by
corresponding action. The Republic
should not be permitted to fall without
a struggle worthy of our Revolution
ary fathers. 1t is high
time for the Democracy, comprising a
large majority Of the people of this
country, TO speal, ont in voice not
to be misunderstood by the conspira-
tors against the Constitution and the
Republic IN Congress, and out Of that
body Let the Democracy Of this
State, and Of every State, say to the
men conspiring against the cause Of
liberty and the rights Of man, that if
they fail III their reasonable designs,
they shall expiate their monstrous
crime against the people upon the
scahold And let us tell the men of
capital, the owners Of the banks, the
manufacturing establishments, and
the ships and commerce of the coun-
try who countenance and support the
radical fanaticism which is rending
and destroying the Republic, that they
are inviting another war war which
viii not be sectional, but general and
internecine, whose great theatre will
be the North, and which will involve
their own lives, fortunes and honors,
in its destruction and devastations
Foolish, indeed, are Mr.. Edmund
Burke's threats The talk of the cen
trahzation of the Sovereign States of
this Union, and the overthrow Of CON
stitutional liberty, is unauthorized

knows it Does he propose to be the
leader of this revolutionary party p
The men who are conspiring against
the canse OF liberty and the rights OF

The Turtles arrived in front of the Young
America, with their team, about s o'clock,
and related the incidents of the game. They
spoke in high terms of praise of the treat
ment they received in Hampton, and conf
IDENTITY expect the Hampton club at our fair,

courtesies they received in Hampton. They
also speak of the catcher Of the Olympics as
being very dexterous player, who will,
with practice, make one of the best catchers
in this region.
The Turtles claimed of us the flag left in
our keeping, BY Captain Dalzell and Esq.
Wells, saying that "after the game in Hamp-

flag" We declined to deliver the flag to
them without written order from the Off

remains with US. When the Turtles bring a

The WspellOs had one of their own club for
umpire of the first game, and some of them
thought as an act of courtesy that the SCOTS
should have Mr.. Green-their first choice. Indi-
vidually the Wapellos are fine fellows.-Daren-
port Democrat, 9th.
Yes, they chad one of their own club for
umpire of the first game" By the dictation Of
the Scott club, and against their oscp srish-
The Scott club then gave them as their'ulti-
matum,' for umpire for the second game, a
choice of three names, and now their organ
seems dissatisfied because the Wapellos took
their choice of the three names.
The Democrat says the Wapellos, ''by their
countenancing such playing and umpiring
as was exhibited here, have lost the honor
of victory at least, in the eyes OF all disinter-
ested parties who saw the game" NJ =
No person in Davenport, and no paper
but the Democrat, has, to our knowledge,
impugned the fairness of the umpire or the
honor of the Wapellos, and it seems to US
that, until the Scott club complain of unfair
ness on the part of the umpire or dishonora-
BILE conduct on the part of the WapelIos, it
was unnecessary for the Democrat to bring
forward these charges.
