Institution it was 4, and at the Spscta-

NORFOLK, January 10, 1856.
The steamers and other craft locked
in the canals and sounds have broken
through, and a large fleet arrived to-
day with heavy freights from the Caro-
lima section.
A large number Of vessels weather.
bound in the harbor put to sea to-day.
The floating ice continues heavy and
dangerous in Hampton Roads, and it is
reported that a number of vessels have
been injured. The schooner ID. 5. Mil
Ter, with wood from Pamunkey river
for New York, was cut through twice
yesterday, and portion Of her cargo
had to be thrown overheard to keep her
from sinking. The schooner Muskel,
from New York to Washington, n. Co.,
was towed up last night badly cut
through and damaged. The schooner
Romer, of the Chesapeake and Ohio
line, went out to-day for the first time
since the freeze.
A young man named Walter G. Ward,
of this city, was drowned in Isle of
Wight county on Saturday by breaking
through the ice on Pagan creek.
A new police force for the city of
Portsmouth was elected last night,
when Mr.. Frank lyman was elected
chief to succeed Captain W. A. Jobson.
A suit is in progress in the Corpora
ton Court, in which Mr.. August Bur-
CESS is suing the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company for $4,000 damages
for injuries received from a freight
train on Water street few months
since.
Delegations frem the Cotton Ex-
change, Merchants and Manufacturers

Correspondence the Richmond Dispatchl
SOUTH BosToN, Jan. 10, 1856.
The delinquent-land tax excitement
has reached this county, and it seems
that our people are about as upset as
any in the State. Yesterday meeting
of our citizens was held in this town in
reference to the matter.
On motion of Mayor j. NJ. Caring
ton, Mr.. Henry Easley was called to
the chair and Mr.. X. Hunter Beazley
was elected secretary.
The Chair explained that the object
Of the meeting was to hear an express
sion Of the people in regard to the pro-
posed sale of delinquent lands in this
county and to take whatever steps that
might be deemed necessary in relation
thereto to protect their interests.
Mr.. Joseph Stebbins offered the fol-
lowing preamble and resolution, which
were UNANIMOUSLY adopted:
Whereas the treasurer of the county
has advertised for sale for delinquent
taxes a large quantity of land in this
county, the aggregate amount due upon
which is $4,000; that many of these
lands have changed hands several times
within the last twenty years, the par
ties purchasing in good faith and pay
ing for the same without any know
ledge Of back taxes being due, and in
many cases where taxes have been paid
and receipts were lost or destroyed.
placing it beyond their power to prove
payment; that lands that were sold for
delinquent taxes ten years ago, and the
money paid, are again advertised for
sale now that parties who have gone
to the Auditor and paid the delinquent
taxes on land find their land now adver-
tised for sale for the same taxes they
have paid and whereas the farmers
are in worse pecuniary condition than
they have been for years, owing to a
short crop last year and low prices for
farm products
|. ResOlred, That the collection Of
this tax. much of which we believe has
already been paid, and being returned
delinquent is the result of careleSsness
Of officials, will be a great hardship
and absolute injustice to the people and
would result in widespread distress.
.. RcsOlred, That we request our
representatives in the Legislature to
use their best exertions to devise some
means to relieve the people from this
burden.
3. Resolred, That we heartily en-
dorse the bill presented by Senator Ed
munds to regulate the sale Of delin-
quent lands in the future. and hope it
will become law.
BRIEFS AND PERSONALS.
The style in which Dan river " froze
itself" during the last cold spell was
admirable. When the thaw comes it
will be equally as entertaining if not so
enjoyable.
Some of the best-posted tobacco-men
say that South Boston will sell large
quantity of tobacco this year, very
probably exceeding the amount Of any
4 previous years.
|, Mr.. E. Z. Yancey, postmaster of this
town, was last Sunday presented a
beautiful cup from the members of his
Sunday-school class. Mr.. Yancey, it
may be remarked en- passant, is one of
the few postmasters who was not re-
moved through General MahOne's inhu-
ence. PHIL.

Old inhabitants of the House mis-
took the peach-cheeked Representa-
