THE WEATHER.— The excessive cold
weather was succeeded by a thaw, with
heavy rains, which has carried oil nearly
till the snow. esterday the ice com
menced moving on the river, hut towards
evening gorged in the neighborhood ol
.lack's Creek, raising the water at this
place within a few feet of the top ol the
pier. About 8 o'clock the gorge gave
way, and at once dispelled all appre
hension of a flood.

The Laborers on the State (anal.
Some years ago, when there was a whig
State Treasurer in office, the locofoco pa
pers raised a hue and cry over the whole
.State that the supervisors could not gc-t
money from the State Treasury to pay
fheir hands. To such an extent was this
system of detraction against a whig officer
carried, that the Legislature instituted an
inquiry into the matter, and after a careful
investigation, exonerated him from all cen
sure. Well, how stands the case now,
when "democracy" has complete posses
sion of all the spiggots and bung holes of
the treasury ? All along the line of canal
there is a great deal of complaint of the
non-payment of claims and labor, and we
hear it on all sides ascribed to the State
Treasurer, who, it is alleged, refuses to
give supervisors the necessary funds.—
This may or may not be true ; but one
thing is certain, notwithsandin<r the im-
mense expenditure of money on the pub
lie works during the past year— nearly
two hellions of dollars! —there are con
siderable sums due laborers and others
which ought to be paid. Want of means
in the State Treasury can hardly be a suf
ficient excuse, for the Auditor General states
that there was an available balance on
band on first December, 151, of $513,-
070, from which time two months would :
intervene before the State interest becomes
due. We know not who is in the fault,
but whoever it is among the democratic
fold, let it be put on the right shoulders.
KOSSUTH'S reception at Baltimore was
of the most enthusiastic kind, and lie ex
pressed himself much pleased with bis
visit. On Tuesday be reached Washing
ton, and was received by a committee of
the Senate, who conducted him to Brown's
Hotel. During the day Mr. Webster paid
him an official visit, and on Wednesday be
was to have been presented to the Presi
dent.
Kossuth's views are daily becoming
clearer, and by the time public opinion
will have examined them in all their bear
ings, we have r.o doubt of the result, how
ever much the hot-headed and unthinking
may endeavor to produce a different one.
In his speech to the New York bar, the
following passage occurs:
But I may lie answered—" Well, if we (the
L. S.) make such a declaration of non-adinis
sion of ihe interference of Russia in Hungary,
; because. that is the practical meaning of tile'
word, 1 will not deny,) and Russia will not re
spect our declaratian—then we might have to go
-to war." And there is the rub.
" Well, I am not the man to decline the conse
quences of my principles. 1 will not steal into
your sympathy with slippery evasion. Yes,
gentlemen, I confess, should Russia not respect
such a declaration of your country, then you
are OBLIGED—LITERALLY OBLIGED, TO
GO TO WAR, or else be prepared to be de
graded before mankind from your dignity. (Ap
plause ) Ye.s, 1 confess that would be the case."
Disguise the matter as you will, there is
NO doubt but intervention is WVR —and
that too with a nation thousands of miles
f rom us, which, if continued for any length
of time, would create a- greater national
debt and involve a greater loss of life than
any we have ever been engaged in.
Ri (', \v. —A Washington letter of
Saturday, in the Philadelphia American,
says that "during the last few days Mr.
Clav has sensibly declined in strength, and
in the confidence of his remaining physi
cal resources. The cough which has so long
irritated, now grates terribly upon his con
stitution. and shatters his energies with
' everv return. Painful as the intelligence
' will he to the whole country, and to the
friends of liberal opinions throughout the
civilized world, vet it may not be con
cealed that the sands of this great man's
life are fast declining in the glass of time,
and may almost be numbered, so few are
there remaining. Inexorable late sits by
his side, and watches with remorseless ac
tivity the feeble pulsations of lading ex
istence, counting each, as it comes and
goes, and scrutinizing with keen pene
tration the hours that are yet granted.
There is a christian calmness and com
posure in all the sentiments and feelingsof
.Mr. Clay which at once touches and sad
dens; for it is the calmness of that beauti
ful resignation which admonishes that he
is soon to sec the 'last earth,' and the com
posure of one who, alter having buffeted
and been tossed by the storms of political
life for forty years, is now ready to re
linquish his mission, assured that in all
tilings he has faithfully discharged his duty
to the country, to the truth, and to man
kind."
DARING BURGLARY. — The store of John
Kennedy was entered on {Sunday night
I hist, by some burglars bor.ng a hole tlirugh
! the shutter, and with the aid of some
instrument, supposed to have been a sad
dlers' awl, pushing back the bolt. The
desk was carried to an unfinished building
011 the opposite side of the street, erected
i bv the Odd Fellows for a hall, and there
I broken open and a portion of the contents
taken. A number of promissory notes and
other papers belonging to Kennedy &
l Porter were found on the street next mor
ning. The papers belonging to Mr. Ken
nedy, which were carried off, are described
in the Democrat as embracing some promis
sorv notes, a counterfeit S2O bill on Penn
Township Bank, from sls to $25 in
counterfeits on other banks, principally
Reading, or Berks county, together with
letters and bills, a certificate, No. 23, is
sued in March, 1851, for six shares of
Water Stock, a certificate for one share of
Stock in the Odd Fellows liall Association,
and a receipt for money paid to same as
sociation on account of subscription of
stock. They left SB3 in small notes on
foreign banks, which in their hurry they
no doubt overlooked. It is thought they
will likely throw the letters and papers
away ; should any one find them he would
be doing an act of justice and kindness to
Mr. Kennedy by forwarding them, as they
are of importance only to him.
Three persons were doubtless engaged
in this robbery —one probably a boy who
worked lor Mr. John Davis, saddler, and
who disappeaied on Sunday night, and has
n >t since been heard of, taking with him a
pair of Mr. Davis' boots, a coat belonging
to a man who worked in the same shop,
.
and several articles of jewelry belonging
t) Mrs. Davis. One of the others has
since been arrested and hound over for trial
—the third has left for parts unknown.
The de-k at the Mill was broken open
a few weeks ago, and a considerable amount
of money taken therefrom.
Archibald Dixon was elected T. S.
Senator from Kentucky on Wednesday

SAD OCCURRENCE. —On Saturday morning last,
Mrs. Bridenbaugh, wife of John Bridenbaugh,
of Sinking Valley drowned herself in the spring
run at John Werts's near this place. The cause
of the unfortunate occurrence was a deranged
tate of the mind, induced by the death of three
of her children within the past year. She was
on a visit at the time, and had betrayed a con
dition of uiind which put her friends somewhat
on their guard ; but on the occasion referred to,
she arose in the morning at the usual time and
stepped out of the door without exciting any
suspicions ; but not returning in a few minutes,
she was looked after and found in the run, not
entirely lifeless, but too far gone to be restored.

SNOW AT NEW ORLEANS. —The good people
of New Orleans were visited on the 18th inst.,
wilti I lie rare novelty of a fall of snow, which
is thus noted in the Picayune:—We actually
had a slight fall of snow yesterday afternoon
about a quarter to 4 o'clock. It was like a
dream —almost as quickly gone as come ; but it
served as a topic for wonder and chit-chat
throughout the city. Some of the children down
town, black and white, who hail never before
seen the article, were frightened half out of
their wits by its appearance.
FATAI. ACCIDENT. —Mr. Owen Family, of
Ni.wton Hamilton, aged about 30 years, was
killed on Tuesday morning last, on the railroad
a few miles above Patterson, hv a truck car pas
sing over his head, lie slipped and fell with
his head on the track and was killed instant
aneously by the car. lie was an Irishman by
birth, and at the tune of his death was em
ployed on the cars.— MiJJlintown Sentinel, Dec. 25.
SEVF.RELT BURNED. —Mr. Thomas Ebaugh
while silting before the fire, at the residence of
his father, at Westminster, Md., on Saturday
eiening, went to sleep, and while in that stale
fell into the fire and was dreadfully burnt about
the breast and back. One of his ears was burnt
to a crisp. Hopes of his recovery, however,
are entertained.
FRANCE. —The well-informed Paris cor
respondent of the National Intelligencer
makes the following statement respecting
the deportment of Louis Napoleon on the
night in which his recent coup iP ctut was
accomplished :
Paris is under a martial law once more M.
Bonaparte has effected the military coup d'etat so
long threatened, so much talked of, so oiten an
nounced as imminent. 'J he Republic no more
exists even in name. A Dictator lords it over
France. Its Sovereign I.cgisiature lias been ar
bitrarily dissolved. Iwo hundred and fifty of
its principal members have been arbitrarily ar
rested, and are now in prison. M. Thiers, M.
Berryer, Michel, (de Bourgcs,) M. Baze, with
many of the colleagues, are some in the fortress
of Yineennes, some in the tortress at Mont \ a
lerien. GeneralsCavaignac, Lainoricicre.Chan
garnier, Leflo and CoL Carras, are prisoners in
the fortress of Ham, from which M. Bonaparte
escaped a few years since. Bonaparte is abso
lute master of Paris, and will probably erelong
be absolute master of France. The revolution
has been thus effected : On Monday night there
was a great reception at the Palace Elysee.
The Presidential saloons were crowded with the
beautiful and the brave, it was the most bril
liant and animated soiree of the season. The
President himself did the honors of the mansion
with princely affability, and seemingly with en
tire devotion to the entertainment of his guests,
without a thought of the audacious, reckless,
perilous drama of which, in three or four hours,
he was to be the prominent actor. It is said,
indeed, and 1 am told on good authority, that
though tiie coup d'etat had been resoived on and
arranged in all the details ot its execulion for
two or three weeks past, the moment ol its con
summation had remained undetermined, and
was not in fact fixed till a couple of hours be
fore the commencement of execution. The
President was called out about midnight from a
circle of officers and prefects ot departments,
who were playing the courtier in the presence
of him whom they were sure wouid he one day
their Emperor. He passed into an adjoining
cabinet, where he met a couple of his intimate
counsellors and devoted partizans. They told
him that the decisive moment had come ; that,
in fact, lie must now choose whether he would
go to prison as a captive, or to the Tuiileries as
an Emperor; that the allied factions in Parlia
ment intended on tiie morrow to introduce and
carry a measure that would infallibly result in
his impeachment and incarceration, unless ener
getically prevented by the prompt execution of
the counter stroke that had been long since pre
pared, and which he must now let fall.
"Very well, gentlemen, hand me the decree
and the proclamations, I'll sign them. But the
Minister of the Interior is not present; we have
no time now to send for and consult with him.
1 appoint, at the instant, M. de .Vlorney Minister
of tiie interior—let him countersign the decree.
And now let it be immediately .executed, and let
tiie proclamations be issued."
The President then returned to the crowded
saloons, and a couple of friends of mine, who
were at the Elysee that evening reported that
he continued to perform his role of host with a
wonderful sungfroid and cheerfulness of manner
that prevented tiie first suspicion on the part
of his guests that lie had just piayed the decisive
game of his fortune—his head against a tiirone!
Before day the nextjinorning, Generals Cliarigar
nicr, Lamoriciere and Cavaignac were seized at
then respective residences by a detachment of
troops dispatched for tiie purpose. Before day,
and with the utmost silence, without causing the
slightest alarm in the city, large bodies of
troops were directed on the Place du Palais
Bourbon, the Place de la Concorde, the Champs
Elysees, the Hotel de Vilie, and the Place du
Carousal. Daylight found all these strategic
points of the city in the quiet possession of M.
Bonaparte's soldiery. Tiie questors of the As
sembly were arrested. AH the entrances into
the Palace in which the sittings were held were
guarded by troops, with strict orders to prevent
members of the Assembly from passing in. The
first intimation that the Parisians had of the au
dacious revolutionary movement which was in
process of execution came frain the placards
which, by order of the usurping dictator, were
pasted upon tiie walls all over the city.
By the arrival of the Steamer Canada at New
York on Friday last, Ave have several days later
news from Europe.
The affairs of France continue to engross
public attention. No new or striking incidents
have occurred, l.arge numbers of the Mountain
party have fled to the country. Several legions
of the National Guard have been disarmed for
disatisfaction. The vote of the army, as far as
ascertained is G5.000 in favor of Louis Napoleon,
35HIJ against him. Four more departments have
been placed in a state of siege. There have,
however, been but few serious disturbances, and
those were of limited extent. The total number
of arrests which have been made is 1800.
Emile Girardin lias resigned his editorship of
La Presse, and is about to depart for America.
The Socialists, during their short ascendency at
Xievre, burned the registers and archives, and
destroyed much property. The Compte de
Chambord, Henri Fifth, had sought an interview
with Prince Schwartzenberg, at Vienna, but was
told tiiat Napoleon must receive the counte
nance of all monarchical cabinets. Seventy
three newspapers have been suppressed in
F ranee.
A letter is published from Jerome Bonaparte,
uncle to the President, advising moderation and
i genuine appeal to the people. The Minister
of War has sent a circular to the commanding
generals throughout France, to eause the im
mediate execution of all persons apprehended
for the commission of murder and pillage. The
Constitutionnel states officially that the whole
of the Departments at the base of the Alps is in
the hands of the Socialists. This is believed,
however, to be an exaggerated statement for the
purpose of creating a concentration of the ef
forts of the fiiends of order. Several dis
tinguished members of the Legitimist and Or
leunist parly have sent in their adhesion to the
President. The correspondents of the London
papers state, in allusion to the Prir.ce de Join
ville and the Due D'Aumale's intended move
ment in opposition to tiie President, that there
had been a meeting of some ol the chiefs of the
1 Orieanist party, at which it was unanimously
resolved to write to the Prince de Joinville, that
they would not support the attempt on his part
; to create civil war. Warrants are out against
' many of the leading members of the Mountain,
who have avoided anest, and among other Vic
i tor Hugo. M. Thiers had declared against the
! government as soon as he was released from
imprisonment, and w as immediately re-arrested,
and compelled to leave France forthwith. The
Monileur states the loss of the army in the late
i events to lie one officer and 24 privates killed,
and 17 officers and 107 privates wounded. The
; latest advices from Dragradion state that 2000
insurgents were marching to the town and had
compelled the directors of the post office at
! Luck, with 100 other public functionaries, t>
march at the r head, with chains around their
necks. The Minister of the interior in his re
port to the President, states, that the i lsurgents
had attacked the public forces, taken the towns
, and communes, Ac., but had been subsequently
compelled to yield to the energy of the author
| itics. Two thousand insurgents in Sisteron took
possession of the citadel, compelled the authori-
lies to resign.and placed a Socialist committee in
authority. The i'aris Boutse continues to ac
quire firmness.
M'IXF. JKXNY LIXD having heard of the
death of her mother, in Sweden, will not
give her proposed concerts in New York.
It is probable that those who attended her
last concert in Philadelphia, heard her last
notes in America.
Correspondence of the I.ewlsiown
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29t!i, lc.tl-
MR. EDITOR :—Presuming that a LEW lines
now and then from the seat ot government
would be acceptable to yourselt and readeis,
and having nothing else to do at present, 1 take
the liberty of inditing a few disjointed para
' graphs.
Congress is doing nothing, and is expected to
persevere in the same until alter the holidays,
when it is thought they will have their hands
full, if they do half they ought to, and continue
ito do so oiuch they ought not to do. A great
many of the members have left the city, the
! Senate not being able to raise a quorum on F ri
i day and Saturday, in consequence, of so many
i being absent. On Friday the House adjourned
I over until Tuesday, when they will doubtless
• adjourn again until Friday, and so till Monday
again. Mr. FOOTE has left the Senate, and gon
home preparatory to assuming the gubernatorial
i chair of Mississippi. His departure was looked
1 to with great satisfaction by many persons here,
j and 1 believe the members of the Senate feel
j that they are rid of a great pest in his absence,
j There is another person, however, whose ab
| sence creates other and different feelings. r l tie
j brightest star in that body—and to say what 1
| think, the brightest star in the galaxy of Anieri
j can statesmen —is fast waning, and diminishing
jin splendor almost to extinction. 1 allude to
! the Hon. HENRY CLAY, who, at last accounts,
j was thought to be in a condition never to return
to the Seriate. llis absence from the delibera-
I tions of that body is much regretted by its niem
i bers, and by the people generally, who feel that
I in him they lose a wise and valuable counsellor,
j The papers say he has tendered his resignation
to the Kentucky Legislature, though I have seen
i no official notice to that effect.
The general topic of conversation at present
is the anticipated visit of LEWIS KOSSUTH to
this city. He isexpectcd hereon Monday next,
and, I suppose, will be, if not detained at Balti
: more. lam not awareof any particular arrange
; merits being made for his reception beyond
i what Congress has done—merely extending to
him a "cordial welcome" as the Governor of
Hungary. His speeches, since his liberation,
have altered the opinion of the American peo
ple in regard to him to a great extent, and he
: wilt not receive that universal admiration that
! he would, had he spoken and acted differently,
i In fact 1 was surprised to hear such expressions
| of opinion towards him as i have heard, although
! 1 myself have admired him less for some time
i than 1 did wiien lie was at the head of the Hun
i garian revolution. His course is calculated to
injure hitn and his cause with the mass of the
people of tiiis country, who are generally op
posed to being drawn into difficulties when they
can avoid it. However, lie will lie the lion of
the day wherever lie appears, so long as he re
mains witii us, and carry with liini when he
leaves a hearty "God speed" from thousands,
; but beyond this I do not think he will succeed.
Wednesday, December 24th, 1651, will be
1 long remembered by the people of Washington.
' About one o'clock in ttie morning the city was
disturbed by the cry of lire, occasioned by the
burning of a tavern and eating house on the
corner of Bth and D streets. This building con
tinued burning until daylight, and while atten
: tion was drawn in that quarter the astounding
news was circulated that the Capitol was on
! fire? Few persons believed it, and before suffi
: cient help could be obtained, the Congressional
i Library was enveloped in a sheet of tlame be
j yotid redemption. Everything contained in the
I main room was entirely destroyed, and it was
! only by the strongest exertions that the adjoin
! ing rooms and their contents, and in fact the
j Capitol itself, were saved from sharing tiie same
I fate. It was indeed a pitiable sight to see one
. shelf after another of valuable books and papers
• tumble down into the flames beneath, and burn
to ashes without being able to save one—and
; why ? Because water could not be got to sup
j ply the engines in time to make them serviceable.
: It, however, gave the firemen a chance to begin
' the celebration of Christmas, which they did by
j having a bit of a row in the afternoon on Penn- 1
J sylvania Avenue.
Christmas was considered a dull day here ;
except to some, who abused it by getting drunk
i and rowdy ing, which gave the police work to do.
! 1 saw three or four inarched oif to the watch
j house, and many more tiiat ought to have been
! on the same road —maybe they were before
j morning.
Sunday was a miserably disagreeable day in
I Washington. Having rained all night, it was
wet, and the rain freezing on the pavement, it
was slippy—so that it was wet and slippy all day.
i it was almost impossible to navigate the pave
; ment the distance of a square without your up
j per person coming in contact with the ice in a
| verv rude and unceremonious manner. The nu
! merous irregularities in the pavement made the
i street preferable, so that nearly all foot passen
j gers wouid not pretend to waik the pavement,
| but took the middle of the street for it. The
weather has been unusually cold here for the ,
| past ten davs or more, the Potomac being frozen
i so as to stop the boats from tunning for some
: Javs. Considerable snow remains on the ground
in this region, which is not a common occur-
J rence, especially so early in the season.
But as I have already extended this letter he- •
yond what I intended when I commenced, i will
! conclude by wishing von and your readers a
Happy New Year, and many returns ol the
same.
Yours, ike., J.
