EArumt.—The weather during the past week, ti; not to say VCIy cold, . was somewhat stormy. On Saturday we had a tine fall of snow which improved the sleigh ing very much. The following are the daily indications of the thermometer, at vunrise, fur tho week, viz:—Saturday the 26th, 25' above zero, Sunday 14', Monday 24°, Tuesday 30", Wednesday, 25', Thurs day 11°, and Friday 16'. Wr.sr Ifcwttet.o AtmAn.—A couple of -xeeks since we received a notice of two fine hogs killed by Mr. Henry Wislcr, of West Ilempfield, for insertion. We mislaid it at the time, but it has since turned up. We give the weight and ask the pork breeders the county to heat the figures. The hogs \veva killed on J:tn. 15th, and weighed together 1,00 lbs., one weighing .137,! and the other 5051 lbs. Tut PCBLIC Gnot::, D.—We would ask at tention to the communication of "Old and New Columbia" in to-day's paper, relative to the future of the Public Ground. It is from one of our most reliable citizens, and the project there broached is one which has been a matter of thought to many interested in the best apfllication of the income of the Public Ground Company to purposes of ed ucation. There will doubtless be differen res of opinion on the subject, and we shall be glad to give place to communications, pro or coo. If properly discussed, the senti ment of the majority will soon make its mark.

Its losses have Leen trifling—so small that even with the added outly of getting the Company under way, laying in a stock of blanks, fitting up, and other extraordinary expense, the re ceipts have handsomely exceeded the expen ditures. No assessments have been neces sary, and that is the great point in a Mutual nsu ranee Company. Considering the length of time the Comp illy has been in existence the business done io encouraging.

Tlitno liorL.I4ILGE EVENl:sW.—llefeience to a lecture dPlivered more than a week since, and followed last c ening by another of the series, is rather retrospective; but the evening tkrd on flr these lectures throws u• thus fir behind with our notices., and we cannot let the aderess of Bev. Mr. Essick pass without at least es pressing the pleasure with which we listened to it. We cannot pretend to do .justice to a prepared lecture by a mere sunntmry of the points, sketelted front memory, therefore attempt no report. The .til l ject- -"The Geological and Mosaic Records of Creation"—waQ one akin to the lecturer's profit sion, and it might be .utpposed that he would treat it with profes sional prejudice in favor of theological over geological research; but his view was broad and liberal, recognizing the value of the labors of the weans' as well as those of the theologians, and Moneiling the light of revelation with the truths of sCidncC. The peroration was tine, and impressively deliv ered—listened to with hushed attention by the audienc3. As may be supposed the nature of the sulject cut oil discussion except on the part of those thoroughly at home in the profun dities or the biblical and geological tally marks of creation. Mr. Kauffman spoke briefly, taking issue with the lecture in one particular. Mr. lloice next spoke, relating an interesting discovery of a new theory among the wilds'of the Alleghanies. The meeting then adjourned. Tut: AstitmsoN EXTRADITION CASE.-- There is at present considerable excitement in Canada occasioned by the arresting of a runaway Slave named Anderson, who some sevon years ago killed one Seneca Diggs, Howard Co. lkld., who attempted to arrest him while on his way Northward. Ander son was traced to Canada where he was ap prehended and lodged in jail. His extradi tion was of course demanded by the Ameri can authorities. The Attorney General of Canada declined to act in the matter, and referred it to the Court of Queen's Bench then in Session, when the ease was submit ted to a-Canadian jury wha Iron& in a verdict of guilty against the prisoner.— Against this verdict the Counsel fur the prisoner protested, and the case was referred to the Court of Appeal, composed of the •Judges of the Superior Courts in Canada, and whose judgement, if contrary to the one ! given against Anderson, will of course set him at liberty. It is understood however, that, should the Court of Appeal sustain the decision already given, the case will be re ( - erred to the Law Lords of England, whose decision will be final. Such f,t the pres.nt time is the hostility of the English to Amer ican Slavery, and such their very question able love of justice, that The London Times, the moat influential Journal in Britain says, if Anderson, in terms of the Ashburn Treaty be delivered to the American authorities, and should the Abolitionists of the North , rescue him by force whom be crosses the boundary lines, there is Scarcely a men in England but would rejoice at his deliver- DM What do our brethren of &nth Carolina find in this English sympathy for the negro to encourage their hopes of alliance tel the Mother conntly against the United States?

It was agreed upon in a cali cos of the Congressional delegations of the Border States and would doubtless be satis factory to both sections. It is free from the most objectionable featnre of the Crittenden Compromise, and as Senator Crittenden himself was one of the members agreeing upon it, he will doubtless support it in the Senate. It is reported that Mr. Lincoln expresses himself satisfied with it as a basis for reconciliation.- I. Recommending the repeal of all the Personal Liberty bills. 2. That the Fugitive Slave Law be amended for the preventing of kidnapping, and so as to provide for the equalization of Commissioners' fee, &c. 3.

Sat"We have us a work entitled "Water Cure for the Million," by It. T. Trail, M. D., author of tl.e Ilydrepathic Encyclopedia, and Principal of the New York liygeio Therapeutic College. This little work pro fesses to explain the processes of the Water Cure, and to give instructions in Wiling, dieting, exercising and cooking. It also exposes what it calls "popular errors" in Drug Medication. Dr. Troll is evidently one of the most ultra llygienic reformers of the age. lie not only repudiates all the remedies of the drug schools, and denies the philosophy on which their employment is predicated, but lie is an out-and-out Vege tarian into the bargain. Without commit ting ourselves to the views promulgated by Dr. Troll in his "Water Cure for the Mill ion," we would bespeak for it n careful pe rusal by those of our readers who are spe cially interested in either the preservation or restoration of health by simple means. The book is sold at only :-'0 cents per copy, and may be obtained through Dr. Cameron, who will receive subscriptions for the work. AMERICAN ACRICULTERIST.—This first and best among the Agricultural Monthlies has been received. The number is excellent in all its dertrtments. The puldisher an nounces his readiness to distribute valuable seeds to his subscribers, gratis. This is a feature in the conduct of the Agriculturist, and should male the Periodical popular. even were , it not so on its own merits.— These seeds are choice varieties, raised and imported expressly fur distribution by the editor. They are sent without charge except pre-payment of postage. We have several times availed ourselves of the courtesy ex tended to exchanges to procure from Mr. Judd packages of seed, all of which turned out prime vegetables.

I Or the CcAumll,3 Spy Ms. Eurrna:—A few days since I took part in a conversation involving a question in regard to the Old Columbia Public ilround and the school Buildingz, property of the Company. As you and your readers arc aware, this building—the "Washington Institute"—has been for several years open Ylducatiouril purpose:. It is probably equally well known that the Institution does not meet and has not met, with the an. ticipatc , l and deserved support. For this reason there arc now serious doubts whether it can and will be continued as a scho o l, a l. thougli;iblc and efficient teachers have had it in charge since its opening. This is a deplorable sate of affairs, yet I learn that there are just grounds for such a conclusion, there being, at this time, not more than fifty scholars in attendance daily. This number is entirely inadequate, and will by no means afford sufficient income to justify elueated and talented moo giving the school their time and attention. Now, sir, if this statement be reliable, and I believe it to be correct, can it be ex pected that the Institution will remain an Educational Institute much longer? There is reason to fear that it cmanot be continued successfully. 'Will it not be better, under these circumstances, for the citizens of "Old Columbia" to take such steps ns shall insure the use of this fine, commodious building to the uses and purposes anticipated in its erection? Many Colombians have it at heart that the school shall not be abandoned, and to this end I have heard it suggested that the Public Ground property be made over, by act of Legislature, to the Public School Bu&rd of the Borough, to be held in trust, as it now is, the proceeds to be applied to Educational purposes. This would give to all the citizens of Columbia an equal enjoy ment of the advantages to be derived from this property, instead of limiting its benefits to those residing within a circumfcrcnco formed by a certain zig-zag proscribed line What would Old Columbia lose by such transfer? Nothing! on the contrary it would be benefited. low? At this time the Com pony is Indebted some $lO,OOO 00 for the erection of this very school edifice which is threatened with disuse, and while this debt remains, the income of the Company is mainly absorbed in the payment of the in terest. If the property is made over as proposed, to the School Board, the school tax of the Borough (and that without in crease) will soon wipe out the incumbrance. The share paid by the citizens of hero Co lumbia would be ce'fainly one-half. This valuable property watifil then contribute materially to our econtricitt school fund, and its proceeds thus applied would afford to the children of Old Colntaliia ; as well as New, educational privileges which are now impossible, from the insufficiency of the in come of the Public Ground to salary proper instructors. A tuition fee is necessary, and many are unable to afford this, small as it is for a school of the character of the Insti tute Let the citizens of our borough be heard in this matter, and if the trnnfer can be made with justice to both divisions of the town, action should be taken while the Le gislature is still in ,ession.

The Georgia Convention has appointed delegates to the Southern Congress. Messrs. Toombs and Howell Cobb are the delegates froM the State at large, and Hon. A. 11. Stephens is among the district delegates. The Louisiana State Convention met on Wednesday, 23d inst., and immediately ap pointed a Committee to draft an Ordinance of Secession. The Ordinance was reported on Thursday, together with resolutions rela ting to the navigation of the Mississippi river. The ConvCtion passed the Ordi nance of Secession on Saturday. Thn intel ligence was received at New Orleans with the display of "Pelican" flags and the firing of cannon. A Committee from Boston, headed by the Hon. Edward Everett, has arrived at Wash ington. They brought with them a petition signed by fifteen thousand citizens of B oston in favor of the Border State resolutions. The Mississippi State Convention has elected delegates to the Southern Congress, and passed an ordinance to raise eight regi ments of troops. Es• Senator Jefferson Davis has been elected Major General of the State. Pensacola bids fair to supersede Charles ton as the great point of interest, Dis patches from there report that preparations for :as attack on Fort Pickens are going steadily forward; the volunteers mounting guns and the carpenters preparing scaling ladders. The United States sloop•of--war Brooklyn, after taking on board two artil lery companies from Fort Monroe, sailed on Thursday afternoon with sealed orders.— Her destination is supposed to be Pensacola, which it will take her four or five days to reach. A portion of the home squadron at Vera erns is also reported to have been ordered home, and the Mobile papers ex press the opinion that Pensacola will be their destination.

It submits the question of "Convention, or no Concenti , n" to the people, and leaves to them also th'e final ratification of the action of the Con vention. The election of delegates takes place on the 21st of February. The Grand Jary of Washington City Dis trict Cuurt have presented Godard Balky for the larceny of the Indian bonds, and Mr. Russell with Ex-Secretary Floyd for con spiracy to defraud the Government. The House 11Iilitary Committee have pre pared a bill to compensate the officers and soldiers in Fort Sumter for, losses occasion ed by their burr:ed departure from Fort Moultrie. The meeting of the Anti-Slavery Society at Boston wao dispersed on Thursday night by order of the Mayor, in consequence of disturbances among the audience. 'The re assembling of the Society next day was for bidden by the Mayor. A large crowd gathered around Wendell Philips' house, and the colored population of the city were much alarmed by fears of an attack on their houses. Wendell Philips and others ap peared before the Legislative Committee re monstrating against the repeal of the Per sonal Liberty law, but there is no doubt the law will be repealed. Advices from Missouri represent the Union feeling to be pred , minant in that State, and that the Convention will Froba bly be conservative. Fortress Monroe. on llatnpton roads, is being put in a state of repair, and the tele graph manufactures a sensation ite n out of the fact that sumo of the large guns point inland. The North Carolina House of Delegates has resolved to send delegates to both the Southern Congress at Montgomery and the National Convention at Washington. Tenne.see has appointed Commissioners to the National Convention at Washington. Of the six Commissioners, four—Ex-Gover nor Moorehead, and Hons. James Guthrie, Chides A. Wickliffe and Joshua F. &H— -are conservative Union men. Advises from the State report the prevalence of a strong Union feeling, which will fill the Conven tion with conservative men. The South Carolina Legislature on 3lon. day unanimously rejected the mediation of Virginia, as proffered through her Commis sioner: Judge Robertson, declaring that the State does not desire any new Constitutional guarantees, that the separation from the Federal Union is final, and that the only negotations she can hold with the Federal Government are as to their mutual relations as foreign States! The Legislature further declared its want of confidence in the Fed eral Government, &c. She therefore, with high considerations of respects for Virginia, declines entering into the negotation pro posed. Kansas is at last a State of the Union.— The House on Monday concurred in the amendment of the Senate to the bill for her admission. Iler Representative in the [louse, Mr. Martin F. Conway, was elected a year or two ago, and is prepared to take his seat. No Senators have yet been elected.

The Texas Legislature met on the 22nd inst. Gov. nonstop in his message recom mends the calling of a State Convention.— The Legislature is represented to be thor oughly le favor of immediate secession and may therefore recognize the "spontaneous" Convention already called. Te revenue cutter Lewis Cass, at New Orleans, was ordered to New York, but her captain has refused obedience. A telegraphic despatch from Springfield, indicates that the Governors of the Northern States are taking measures to secure the appointment of Commissioners to the National Convention at Washington.— The Governor of Illinois, with the approba tion of 3lr. Lincoln, wilt appoint Commis sioners from that State. Private accounts received at Washington state that the lion. A. 11. Stephens will be supported as provisional President of the Southern Confederacy, the object being to conciliate the conservatives of the seceded States. The rumor is only valuable as an admission that there are conservatives in those States who need to be conciliated, The number of Federal troops concentra ted in Washington is less than three hun dred, but quite sufficient, it is thought, with the local force, to preserve the pence. The steamer Bohemian, arrived at Port land brings Liverpool dates to 18th inst.— Great military preparations continued to be made in France.

Congressional Trtuasn.tY, Jas. 2-Ith.— In the Senate the Vice President announced the Special Corn. mittee on the House tariff bill, and also ap pointments to fill the vacancies in the Stand ing Committees caused by the withdrawal of Senators. Mr. Crittenden made a per sonal explanation correcting an erroneous report of remarks made by him in executive session during the debate on the nomination of Mr. Holt fur Secretary of War. He moved to postpone all special orders and take op Iris Compromise resolutions, but the Senate refused and resumed the consid cration of the Pacific railroad bill. Several amendments were adopted and without coming to a final vote on the bill the Senate adjourned. Tue House during the morning hour con tinued the consideration of the Post Route bill. The Senate amendment nicking a uniform rate or ten cents postage on Califor nia letters by steamer or overland was adopted.
