Glasscock, agent OF the Richmond and DAN
vile railroad, that wood will be brought to
the city from Pelham for the Association
without charge, and that transportation will
be furnished as soon as possible.
Contributions for the use OF the Relief
Association continue to be offered. The,
spirit OF charity that has been developed
surprises, may say, even ourselves. am
tempted to name some OF the parties that
have been so generous, but must forbear.
Besides the relief that has been afforded
through the Relief Association, many acts of
beneyolence have been done privately and
in very quiet way. heard one OF the
ministers say . day or two ago that certain
members of mis- congregation had put at his
disposal any amount OF money which he
might need for the poor in bis flock and
congregation. d.
Mr. James Wood, collector OF internal
revenue, after very protracted and pain
1ui illness, has so far recovered as TO be able
TO come down to his Office.
The weather now Is warm, and there is a
promise OF rain; but the fields are still
white, ana the streets icy. ALPHA.

F1RE.-On last Saturday night Mr.. Ed
mund Layne's house, four miles north Of
town, was destroyed by fire. We have not
learned its supposed origin, but the impress
sion is that it was accidental. Mr.. Layne
lost comfortable house and some property,
but the greater part of his household turni-
ture was saved. We regret to hear that
both Mr.. and Mrs. Layne had their feet
bruised and more or less frosted. We are
sure that our popular English neighbor has
the sympathy of the whole community in
bis Clinch VALLEY Ne,cs.

REPUBLICAN MEMBERS GOING OVER TO THE
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BALLoTING FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR. a< y -:
New ORLEANS, January 13.-General
Augur says there is no change in the situa-
ton, or in his orders in relation to the rival
parties.
Senator Breaux, who left the Republican
Senate, has been sworn into the Democratic
Senate. ".5-;,;,.4
. Representative Brown, Of Vernon, also
left the Republican House, and wrote let
ter to the Democratic House stating that
although he was returned as elected by the
Returning Board, he did not believe he was
elected. and would not ask for a seat.
The Democratic Legislature had another
ballot for United States senator to-day, but
without action. t-
SUPERIOR COURT IN sEsSI0N-THE SENATORIAL
CONTEST.
NEW ORLEANS, January 13.-Judge Shaw
has opened the Superior Civil Court in the
State-House building. He has the seal and
minute-book Of the court, while the Nj
cholls government holds the former court
room.
The 1rmeSS extra, referring to the Dem
ocratic Legislature, says: The United States
senatorial question perpleXes the members
not little, and it seems to be generally I'M
derstood that a daily joint ballot
is but mere form to conform to
existing laws. Some OF the members
seem to think that, instead Of electing a
Democrat, they would gain more now by Sc
lecting liberal Republican. In connection
with this subject it is alleged that combina-
tions are being affected whereby James F.
Casey, or some prominent Republican with
influence at Washington, will be selected.
The caucuses of Republican and Demo-
cratic members are reported, at which the
matter has been freely discussed, and it is
expected that in a few days oil arrange
ments necessary will have been effected.

WORTH OF DAMAGE BY ICE TO THE CINCIN-
Natl SHIPPING.

cold and cloudy. There are no further in
dications Of the breaking Of the gorge here.
It is thought that the steamer Andes, which
was sunk last night, can be raised If there
is no further movement in the ice. She has
only quarter cargo aboard, which can be
saved. The damaged stern-wheel steamer
Mary Miller was forced aground, but the
position OF the Andes protects her from
the ice. The Golden City. had narrow
escape, the ice forcing her, hard against the
steamer Telegraph; crushing the fantail OF
the Golden City, and pushing her hard
aground. The LUDLOW ferry-b0at was car
-ried away from her moorings, and swept
down to the bend south OF the city by the
moving Ice OF midnight. The estimated
damage to the shipping is over 100000. i.
