• • WASHINGTON, Feb. 1,1550. The " big scare" that was on the Banks men at the date of my last communication passed off the , following day, and instead of pitching their candidate overboard, as they were on we point of doing, they have clung to him with great firmness. The terror they were in was caused by sm apprehension that the "South Americans" would vote with the D emo- crabs, several articles advising a union of the "na tional men" having appeared in some of the news papers of this city. The debate on Tuesday brought them relief, the gulf between the Democrats and the National Know-Nothings having, apparently, been widened by the discussion; and their courage was further , revived and strengthened by a rumor that the plurality proposition would receive some support from the Democratic side of the .11.01180. The rumor was not without foundation. A resolution in favor of the plurality rule MO offered on Wednes day by a supporter of the Democratic candidate, but it received very little favor from that side of the House, and failed by five votes. On Wednesday evening two absent Banks men arrived, and it was thought that Campbell of Ohio, who had voted against the rule, might be induced to change in its I favor. This would make a tie, and if one more vote could be got, the plurality rule would carry. The contest seemed approaching a climax, and members of all parties thought that by Thursday evening the long agony would be over. But Thursday has come and gone, and the end is not yet, though close at hand. At an early hour on Thursday the galleries were i packed with eager spsctators of both sexes, and at 12 &clock, when cue Rouse was called to order by the Clerk, all the members were in their seats. A mul titude of propositions were submitted and disposed uf, some producing groat merriment and others great excitement. At length the plurality resolution, on the final passage of which Mr. Banks has so long built his hopes, was breught forward, and the impres sion was that it would pass. At this juncture, how- I ever, a movement was made by the Southern Know- Nothings which gave a new turn to affairs. . A mem ber of mat party offered as an amendment to the plurality proposition, a resolution declaring lion. 6tuitn, a Democratic, member from Va., 1 , :7:peaker of the Mouse, and demanded the previous question. The yeas and nays were taken, and the amendment in tavoror Mr. Smith received 100 votes —not a majority of all the votes cast, but enough to make it a question Whether Mr. Banks or Mr. Smith would be elected under the plurality rule' Bere was a new '•seare' fur the friends of Mr. Banks, who did nut press the plurality resolution, but voted an adjournment (which they had previously shouted down) in very hot haste indeed. This afternoon the tug of war will come. How it wil end 1 cannot say. Dis evident that a crisis is approaching, and you may expect either an election oh Speaker or an adjournment of Congress very soon. My impression is that there will be au election this afternoon o r to-morrow Si.'

On Friday night loot iL commenced snowing and continued through the entire day of Saturday and the greater part of sunday. Snow fell to the depth of elgut or tee luehee, the deep., snow we have bad hero /or several years. Yesterday and to-day all the sleighs, and all toe concolwahlo apologies for sleighs were brotim. /Last requisition. Liar success are list provided with tiptop sleighs, as it is so seldom they are wanted. aulUseinellt is worth iu this city, fium S-1 to per hour, and the twan g:niece is cut many 'eel disposed to pay that price and very few enjoy the pleasure of a Sleigh ride. The river is still tightly bound up in ice, and teams urn coast-mu) . csoising. Thu proprietors of the tents, pitched npari the /1,, are doing it good bu siuess, ann LtoarsaL.as 01 our ei,arens are daily prim:l emming in tivemm." bum.: eaterpiming lialividuais have laid a firm and statist:ma-II plaaufal irual rho main snore to some distance eu tue tee, ahlatt renders it =lea more safe fur teams, to get upon the solid unbroken fluor of ice —as tue ricer, in either falling or rising, makes it dangerous along the edges. Toils are collected irons all teams, horses and cattle that cross over -this bridge—foot travellers free,'—and some $lOO or s;lini is daily collected ; the investment has proved to be quite profitable. The weather since Saturday has moderated, and a more favorable prospect for an early thaw is to-day indicated. _ . A large number of steamboats are now frozen in at our nivel) and above uud below the city, and are considered in great danger when the ice shall break up. A meeting of steamboatinen has been held and a committee appointed to examine into the condition of the boats and to report at an adjourned meeting the practicability of opening the river by cuttinr , ” u channel through the ice to the Illinois shore, by which these boats may be relieved from their peri lous zituati.m. A dyke ou the Illinois side will pro tect them could it be possible to get them across. Thu lung looked fur Steam Flit Engine arrived in this oity last week. It was brought to the Illinois chore and was considered rather venturesome to bring it across un the ice. One hundred dollars was offer ed for its safe delivery in this city. Speculating in dividuals were scarce just at that Lime, but the dr/. ring Mr. Meyers, with his team of six horses, were soon upon the ground—and after entering into bonds fur sd,ooo for its safe delivery un this side, attached his team, and followed by some two or three thous and people, hauledit safely over the ice, amid the cheers of the assembled multitude. On Saturday it was brought out for trial, and much surpassed the expectations of all present. A great rivalry and jealousy seems to exist among our old fire companies and ill-feeling toward the Steam Fire Engine. Sev eral of these companies were on the ground with their —rum - chine; but owing to the inclemency of the weatimir, as they Said, were unable to beat, with manual labor, that of steam, but challenge a fair trial on a fair day. The case of .31r. Lingo, Superintendent of the Workhouse, has been presented to the City Council for investigation, and a committee appointed for that purpose, who will report at the next. meeting of the Board. arah llayeraft, who stabbed and killed Hudson on the street a few months since, has been on trial and found "guilty of murder in the fast degree," but whether she will bo hung is a mutter yet to be seen. During the past week there were but 50 interments iu the different cemeteries of the city. During the same period there wore 47 admissions into the City Hospital. Judge Edward Bates, of the Land Court ; tender ed his resignation on Saturday. Mr. Lord is now delivering" a series of lectures be fore the Young Men's Christian Association. Business still continues very much depressed ; the wholesale market is quite dull. Something over 70,000 hogs have been slaughtered at this point up to the present date, and it is believed the number will reach 00,000 for the season. Price) now paid range from $5 to $5,25 per 100 lbs., dividing on 200 lbs. The number of hogs cut at Louisville and around the falls is rising 332,000, and the business there has closed fur the season. The mails in the past week have been very irreg ular, particularly that of the East, and now that a deep snow covers the ground, and in all probability much heavier further North and East, a greater de tention may be expected. There is nothing going on in the city worthy of report. Politicians are now about opening the cam paign for our municipal election in April. The Know-Nothing-American-Abolition party are in high spirits at the breach in the Democratic ranks, and speaks confidently of their success at the next election—perhaps they may be mistaken. Your readers perhaps are not aware of the amount of capital it requires to run a steamboat on the Western waters, and for their enlightenment in these dull times we will endeavor to post them. The run ning of a Missouri river steamboat requires a cash capital of upwards of $12,000 per month to meet its expenses. The wages alone are summed up thus— Two pilots, each $4OO per mouth $6OO Two engineers, each $l5O ' 300 Two strikers, each $5O 100 Captain, $2OO 200 Two clerks, $175 and 125 : f 300 " Two mates, $1.25 and ,$1.5 200 Two stewards, $lOO and $5O " " 150 Six cabin boys, $25 each " 150 Two ohambermaids, $3O and $2O ' 4 " Tour cooks at $lOO $5O $3O and $2O Twenty deck hands and firemen $4O each Total amount per month' $4,050 This amount includes nothing but the wages ; be sides thin mere are wood, insurance, repairs, Zee., which add largely to the expenses of the boat. You must thus see chat running a western steamboat is LO small item, and all these expenses must be paid in cash monthly. These boats carry passen gers a distance of a thoneand miles at . the rate of $lO or .sl2—giving them excellent fare and good rooms ; sod freight, the same distance,-at from 25c to $1 per 100 lbs—according to the stage of the wa ter. . Franklin's Birthday we think, was never more gen erally celebrated than on the 17th inst., as in almost every pager we pick up we seo that the printers have had a fine time of it in all parts of the Union. In this city, Alton and Chicago suppers and balls were given in honor to the Statesman, Philosopher and Printer. A magnificent supper was given by the typoes of this city, and much good feeling prevailed. This is as it should be, and we hope to see the next anniversary still more generally celebrated. The fruit growers of Illinois state that the peach buds are all frozen and destroyed, and that the prospects for a third of a crop next season are very unpromising. The Legislature of Texas has raised the salary of the Governor io $3OOO per annum. The Nebraska Legislature is now In session, and recently passed a resolution requesting the Governor to repair immediately to Washington to look after the interests of the Territory. A bill has been passed authorizing the erection of a Penitentiary at Tecsr na. Bills have also been introduced in both houses for about a dozen Banking institutions for different towns in the territory. Hoping that this letter may reach its destination in due time, but which, from present appearances, looks doubtful, I remain Yours truly, Important from Europe The steamship Arabia reached llalifits, on Thursday evening, with Liverpool dates to the 19th ofJanuary. The news is of the highest importance, indicating peace. The Vienna Correspondent of the London Times telegraphs under date of the 26th, that Russia has accept ed the propositions of the Allies, as the basis of negotiations for peace. In consequence of which, English consols have risen 2 per cent., and there was a marked decline in breadstuffs, and an advance in cotton. The. tone of the market's confirm the impression that peace is at hand. The Russian General, Mouravieff, contin ues to advance into Asia, approaching Erze reum.

REPORT OF COUNTY AUDITORS We, the undersigned, Auditors of Lancaster County, do certify, that we have carefully examined the fore going account of Benjamin Reinhold, Esq., Treasurer of said county, and have compared his vouchers with the same, and find there is a balance in his hands, of Eleven ,Thousand Five hundred and Thirty-four dollars and Ninety-nine cents, ($11,631 99.) For which amount he has shown us the receipt of Charles M. Howell, Esq., the present Treasurer. In the foregoing outstanding taxes due by several townships, it shows great negligence on the part . of collectors, either in collecting or paying over. the same to the Treasurer, which is a loss to the county, as the Commissioners have to resort to loans, on that account We therefore recommend the collection of taxes within the year for which they are assessed. The liabilities of the county, for loans from individuals at 6 per rent. per annum, at the present time; are $146,000 00. At the time the County Prison was finish ed, the debt of the county was upwards of $40,000 00. The cost of finishing the new Court House, including the purchase money for the site, building, furniture and fixtures amount to $169,000 00, showing that the debt for building the Court House, 15 $106,000 00, and that $63,000 00 of the coat thereof, was paid out of the funds of the county. We have also examined the account of Hugh S. Gam, Esq Treasurer of the Board of Prison Inspectors, and find it correct, showing a balance due him by the Board, of One Thousand and Twenty dollars and Nineteen gents, ($1,02010,) on the aril day of January, on.— ioneweestomnamllloilitliiiiimmilimi mmill ' imillir Estate of Henry Gingerloh.—ln the Court of 1 c't LOVES:—Wents's have opened a large variety of We have also examined the account of James Dysart, iCommon Pleas for the County of Lancsater.

It is short, and certainly to the purpose. Sr. larcr's, October 25, 1555. Messrs. Editors:—Gentlemen: As many inquiries are made at this place by strangers from a distance, in order to satisfy them and answer their Inquiries, allow me the liberty to avail myself of your paper, as no doubt many of yoUr readers may be those who write us letters. The soil here is wall adapted to the raising of rye, oats, barley, corn, potatoes and buckwheat, and for a grazing country it cannot be excelled. The fact is, it has been the only place where the lumber men in this county Lave had their principal supplies. Eve ry year thousands of dollars Worth of produce is sold here. As regards coal, there is an abundance found here and scarcely a single farmer In this vicinity but what h as his coal mines. My candid oFinion is that the whole place Is underlaid with coal. There is no scarcity of iron ore. A drift has been opened —it is from six to nine feet in depth, of the best rock ore. The moment the Sunbury and Erie Railroad is finished, this most become one of the wealthiest portions of the State. The soil is fertile. and produces the beet kind of crops. We have any quantity of coal and iron, and the moat valuable lumber. But few locations possess these ad vantages: or if they have them, they have not the same railroad facilities. Land in this locality is rapidly advan cing, and population is increasing; for raising children It . goes ahead of any place in five counties. Very truly,. yours, ,tc. CHARLES LL'H.R.
