St. Louis, Feb. 2,1857.
The river at this point continues blocked up with ice.—
The weather in the early part of the week was mild and
pleasant, and a thaw was pretty general throughout the
West, and the Ice on the river at this point became too
weak for horses and teams, and since Wednesday last
nothing hut pedestrians crossed. For several days past
many ofthe steamers—-(there being-some twenty now lying
at our wharf) —got up steam in anticipation of a general
break up of the lea, but the last two or three days being
much colder, the prospects for an Immediate opening of
navigation, are not now so fluttering. The steamfioatmen
have broken the ice loose from around tbeir boats, and
those that had taken on freight before the river gorged,
are discharging the same. They are hourly expecting a
rise and hence a movement of the ice. The ice here is not
near so thick and,heavy as last winter, but in the npper
rivers it la said to equal that of last season. The general
Impression is that not much damage will be done when it
does break up.
Business remains extremely dull. Thera is nothing of
moment trauspiring In a local point of view.

known and passed upon by tho people of the States as far j
back as the 4th of November last. The decision then mado
is of lasting benefit to tho people of the U. States, from this ,
fact, that the agitators of sectionalism were properly and
severely rebuked in the decision made against them and in
favor of the National Union candidate for thp Presidency :
of the U. States. f "
The Tariff Bill will not be to'uched towards a passage du

to undertake such an important subject for discussion,
where so many important interests are at stake throughout
tho Union. It will bo ready for the action of tho 35th
Congress and not before. .
The correspondence between Gen. Ssott and Col. Jeffer- ’
son Davis. Secretary of War, is before the Printing Com
mittee of-the Senate, and part of it has appeared in tho
papers. This correspondence is not a proper one to spread
before flio people of the U. States. As much of it has here
tofore been looked upon as being private, it is a great pity
for the reputation of both gentcraen, it has not always re
mained private and never seen the light of the press. As
it is now. we shall have the veteran Scott and his friends,
and the gallant Davis and his friends, arrayed against each
other in a long paper war, and, in tho end, we shall wish
that it may turn out to be exclusively a paper war. We
hope the document will produce nothing else than a paper

Opening of tUe Ohio River at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Feb. G. — The ice hus-bsen run
ning heavily out of the Allegheny river all
day, having broken some miles above. The
Monongahela has only broken up for a short
distance above the city. At Dam No. 1, some
damage has been done to the rafts and small
boats, but no serious loss has been sustained.
There is now eleven feet of water in c the
channel and stationary. The weather contin

At Wheeling the ice commenced running
at 6 o’clock this morning. The Steamer
Arcolji, lying at the wharf was crushed in by
the ice and considerably damaged. • The
steamship Chicago is reported sunk below
Wheeling. There is 16 feet of water at Wheel

At Zanesville the ice oegan to move this

the testimony and other matters relating to
the murder of Dr. Burnell. From an editorial
in that journal, reviewing the whole proceed
ing* thus far, we clip the following:
*• We are hound to jsay up to this moment
the harden of the testimony taken is frightfully
against John J. Ecklel and Emma Augusta
Cunningham. j
They may be innocjent, and heaven knows
we hope the / are. Bjut it is, to say the least,
an unfortunate thing! that Mr. Eckel should
have gone out before breakfast.that morning,
and should have deposited in his private desk
a paper which would !seem to have been pur
loined from Dr. Burdell. It is unfortunate
that he should-have been on such terms with
the woman Cunningham as to lead the house
maid to regard her ds an indiscreet mother
to grown up daughters. And*it is still more
unfortunate thai, he should have allowed ex
pressions of ill will'towards the deceased to
escape him, to which the present conjuncture
imparts an awful significance

.eS~TIIE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF TIIE^AGE.-®*
PROFESSOR WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE.—This
preparation, although less than two years before the pub
lic, owing to its wonderful streets upon the human hair.and
sculp. has already obtained a celebrity and sale perfectly
unparallellod. It lias without the ordinary appliance used
for such purposes, won its way, and been heartily welcom
ed to most of the citiesand towns in the Unitc-d States the
Canadas, and the West India Islands. Nor is this result
enrprising, when it is remembered that its popularity is
based upon its merits, sol-iy as established by actual tests.
That this preparation will actually RESTORE GRAY lIAIK
TO ITS NATURAL COLOR, produce a luxuriant growth
upon the heads of the bald, prevent the hair from falling
off, and when used as a t:»il<*t articK produce a continual
flow of the uatural fluids, and thus render the hair soft,
glossv and wavy, destroy diseases of the scalp, and expel
dandruff, the certitic;U<*s of distinguished gentleman and
ladies, in every part of the country who have tried it. and
therefore speak what they know, most, fully attest. '
Milfof.p. .Worcester Co., Mass., Nov. 13th. ISoo.
Prof. 0. J. Wood —Dear Sir; 1 take pleasure in bearing
voluntary testimony to the magic effects of your wonderful
Hair Restorative. Aa far back as IS3T. my hair omnnenced
falling off, until the top of my scalp became bald and smooth
as glass, and it has continued to fall for a great many years,
notwithstanding 1 have used many celebrated preparations
for its restoration. Seeing your advertisement, 1 was in
duced to give your article a Dial, and to my utter astonish
ment, I found after a few applications that my hair became
firmly set and assumed a very glossy and beautiful appear
ance; and, by the time I had used a quart buttle full, ray
bald head was covered over with a young and igrroui
gw-wth of hair, which is now from one to two inches in
lttijglh, and growiug very fast.
Yours truly, llenrt Goodrich;.

Mr. 11. Dyes—Dear Sir: I have U6ed two bottles of Prof. I

est discovery of the ago fur restoring and changing the Hair. I

I.have used Prof. 0. J. Wood's Ilair Restorative, and have
admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming, as I
thought, prematurely gray, but by the use of his Restora
tive it has resumed its original color, and I have no doubt,
permanently so. SIDNEY BREESK, *
Ex-Senator United States.
The Greatest Discovery of the Age.—lt seldom occurs, :
that we notice, under any circumstauces, patent medicines,
restorativet, or anything of tho kind, lor we have a preju
dice against m- st of them. But candor compels ns to in
vite attention to the advertisement of Prof. Wood’s Hair
Restorative. We are too juvenile to require anything of
the kind, but some instances of its use have come to our
knowledge which almost assure us that it is a sovereign
remedy against ihe hair becoming prematurely gray. It is
not a “ Hair Dye;” but upon its application as directed, the
effect is produced on the skin, which brings out the origin
nal native colored hair, without stiffness, and gives it a glos
syand natural appearance. We have seen persons who havo
used it, and they are much pleased with it. —Missouri lit
