•.7 '-Death of Rev. Dr. Nott. The serious illness whion for some time has prostrated the Rev. Dr. Nott, has at last terminated, as was expected, ,in his death; which the telegraph•informs as 'took plan yesterday morning. Eliphalet Nott had reached the advanced age of ninety-three years, towing been tam - Li in Ashford, Windham county, Connactimit. in June,l773. He never received a collegiate training, but when quite young studied di- , - vinity; and when twenty-one years old, was acting as a missionary in the central part of this-State. The Presbyterian congrega tion of Cherry Valley gave him a call, and after officiating in that, place two or three years, be was called to a Presbyterian church in Albany, where he soon became a noted and popular preacher. In 1804 he was chosen president of Union College, Salm-- nectady, and held that office till the time of his death. Sixty-two years of his life have been identified with that institution, which, under his care, has risen from poverty to wealth and importance. During this time nearly four thousand students nave gradu ated at Union College, and as late as 1854 about seven hundred of them visited the venerable Doctor Nott. It is odd enough that Dr. Nott, whose name is so associated with colleges and literature, should also have been one of the founders of a most flourishing mechanical enterprise—the Novelty Works in this city. He was inventor of a new stove, which was called the "Novelty," for the manufacture of - which a shop was built. The establish ment gradually expanding its scope, was the nucleus of the Novelty Works. The late Mr. Stillman was associated with Dr. Nott in this enterprise. Dr. Nott has obtained no less than:thirty patents for various mechanical improve meats and inventions. He was also an ac • tive promoter of the temperance cause, and has written works thereon. Perhaps no other instance can be adduced of any college president, or indeed any official, holding office for the long period of sixty-two years. During this time Abra ham Lincoln was born, made history, and died. Mr. E. C. Delevan, of Albany, the great advocate of temperance, who for thirty-five years found an effective support in Dr. Nott, calls our attention to the following sketch from the pen of William H. Seward, which appeared in the English edition of Dr. Nott's great work on temperance,twelve thdusand copies of which are now sent tree through the Post Office, to as many clergy men of all denominations in Great Britain, from the temperance press there. It appears to be appropriate at this time that this just tribute from the pen of his pupil should be made public in this country also : " Dr. Nott has lived nearly a century. The period of his life comprises the whole of our national history, and even his ma tured and publicly active years have been more than `three score years and ten.' Gifted with rare versatility of talent and in dustry of habit, he has impressed himself upon the country and the age in many ways, as deeply as other men only aspire to im press themselves in one. "Were any - historian of our times to begin to catalogue the names of the eminent di vines of our country, perhaps the first name that would occur to him would be that of Dr. Nott. Were he to go on and add those of its noted instructors of youth, again the name of Dr. Nott would first suggest itself. Were be then to add those of its Biblical expositors, the same name would again present itself among the foremost. Were he to continue with these of its phi losophers and reformers, still the same hon ored name would recur with like pre-emi nence. "The pulpit has long counted him as one of its most impressive orators. Union Col lege, over which he has so long presided, owes to his organization and management its high prosperity. Thousands who were once his pupils. and are now scattered throughout the Union and the world, useful and prominent in every walk of public and professional life, look back to him with al most filial affection, and are, unsonscioualy even to themselves, disseminating-and per petuating the influence of his teaching. Science has been enriched by his researches; art owes to him more than one valuable in vention. Literature has received from him contributions which will. endure with the language itself. "No great political or moral reform has taken place during the century which is not indebted for a part of its success, to his sa gacious and efficient support. A life of irreproachable purity, Christian benevo lence and virtue has made him at once teacher and an exemplar of his generation. "His remarkable influence over men, in dividually-or in masses, is in part attribu table to keen perception of character and careful study of human nature, but more perhaps to the tendency of his mind toward the examination of subjects in their practi cal rather than their theoretical bear ing. Thus in religion his attention has been given to ethics rather than polemics; in science, to the practical application of laws rather than abstruse investigations of their origin; in politics, to measures and results, rather than theories or controversy; in lite rature', to its instruction rather than its recondite studies or its elegant pleasures. ".Few men have in their lives done so much to guide the lives of others in accord ance with the dictates of philosophy and the teachings of Christian revelation."— P: Y. Post. The Chestnut street Bridge Case WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—TheUnited states Supreme Court to-day decided the Phila delphia Chestnut Street Bridge case. Mr. Justice Wayne delivered the opinion, as serting the principle that the power under the Constitution to regulate commerce es tends to all navigable waters, and does not stop at State lines. Bridges are in tht character of ferries. He referred to tilt- Delaware Blackbird' Creek case, in which Chief Justice Marshall held that the dam authorized there to be erected stopped a navigable stream, bpt unless it came in conflict with a law of Congress, it was a matter for Delaware herself, of which the United States had •no jurisdiction. The Court could see no difference between this and the Chestnut street case, and could not annul the law of Pennsylvania authorizing its erection. The public good is to be consulted, and Congress may, whenever it becomes neces sary, interfere, as it did in the Wheeling bridge case, by special or general law, with in the sphere of its Constitutional authority. The Delaware river being, within the limits of Pennsylvania, the Court could not say she exceeded her powers, which could not be made subject of review by the Supreme Court, which discovered nothing. to distrust the decree of the Circuit Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, which is affirmed, with costs. The Rebel. General /Mercer Acquitted, &e. SAVANNAH, Jan. 29.—The Confederate General Mercer, who has been under trial by a military commission for the murder of seven Union prisoners, has been acquitted and released from prison. Three soldiers of the 12th Maine Regiment •;fhave been under trial for the murder of a barkeeper named Cordes, in November last, but no evidence has es yet been brought "against them. A steamer from the coast brought, yester day, three hundred freedmen returning from the Sea Islands to their old homes. NEw YORK, Jan. 29.—The steamer Leo • has arrived from Savannah. Afire was dis . coyered among the cotton •on board on the 27th, but was extinguished through the ex artions of the passengers and crew. The dathage amounted to only $l,OOO. VornEls a proposition before the Legiele- Anre of Maine for the State to assume and pay all the war debts incurred by the vari oua cities and town. ffiE DAILY EVENING-B WI _ • INTER TRANEL XN TVIE FAR wEsr. .A Snow Bonnd,Train: j (From the tit.Pneljdinnesota, Pioneer of the Vith.] From 'Charles Mcrtrath, Esq., Mate Auditor,who returned last evening From r'reeborn county, we gather some inci dents of a trip on the Central Railroad, which will give some idea of the obsta cles and troubles which that railroad has had to contend with the past week, owing to the recent snow storm. Mr. Mcllrath arrived at Faribault on Friday. That was the day of thel first snow storm. The Central road had been running up to that time, but that night the storm blockaded the road, and trains were compelled to suspend running. The snow plow was put in opera tion on Saturday, but only cleared the road as far as Rosemount. The passen gers; of whom quite a number had by this time collected at Faribault,remained over Sunday, expecting to get through -- on Monday, without doubt. On Sunday night, however, it again commenced snowing and drifting furi ously, and trains could not run at all. The portion of the road already cleared was again drifted up. Nothing could be done on Monday while the storm lasted, toward opening the road. The nest day (Tuesday) the storm- abated, and the snow plow was again put to work, but so heavy were the drifts, and so packed in the deep cuts, that but little progress was made. The passengers still re mained at Faribault, expecting each day that by the next one the trains would run again as usual. • On Wednesday three engines were attached to the snow plow, and by great exertions the road was opened to Fari bault on Thursday morning. The'train started from Faribault on time that day, and got as far as Farmington, where it was compelled to stop. About fifty pas sengers were aboard the train and about one hundred employes of the company, who were aiding in clearing.the road of snow. The passengers atonce quartered themselves among the few houses at Farmington, and proceeded to await the opening of the road, faring meantime as best they could. Among the number were several ladies. Superintendent D. C. Shepard was aboard the train, and at once went ahead with the snow plow and laborers, to force a passage through the drifts. They worked with almost superhuman energy for several hours, until darkness came on, and yet had made but little progress in clearing a way through the cuts, between Farmington and Rose mount. The snow plow, one of the largest, perhaps, ever made in this country, was driven by three powerful engines. Mr. Mcllratii, who was on board one of the engines, watching the operations of the plow, says it was really a grand sight. The modus operandi was as follows: The engine would back down the road a short distance, and, then run at terrific speed right into the bank of snow. The snow would be thrown An huge masses, thirty or forty feet, into the air! The momentum of the train would force it into the drift so far as to seem almost buried. It would then be backed out, and the process repeated, each attack clearing a few feet of track. One can scarcely formany idea of how deep and compactly the snow is packed in those cuts. After the storm of De cember 9th, the snow plow pushed the show aside and merely forced a ditch through it, wide enough for the cars to pass. The walls of snow rise on each side of the track 12 or 14 feet high ! The snow was packed so hard that the plow cannot now force the new drifted Snow into it. Hence, the only way it can be got rid of is by throwing it upward out over the bank on each side. • Another difficulty added to the slow ness of the process. The three engines consumed large quantities of wood and water, and both were very scarce at Far mington, which lies on an extensive prairie. After the company's wood pile was exhausted,:and a quantity of rails from fences confiscated,several thousand feet of scantling were used as fuel. This supply exhausted, in all probability the train would be compelled to back down to Northfield for a new lot of wood. Whether this plan is feasible or not is doubtful, as the road is badly drifted be hind them, and there was no turn-table at Farmington. In addition to all the other mishaps, toward nightfall one of the engines broke down, and there was good prospect of the entire train stick ing there until the road could bedug out by shovels and an engine sent from Min neapolis to draw it out. And, as if all the above disasters and tribulations had not heaped Shepard's cup full enough, the telegraph line was down, and not a word of intelligence could he get from above or below. There were over 60 passengers at Far mington Thursday forenoon, where, in all probability they are yet. Now, the resources of the goodly village of Far mington as to larder and bed rooms are not the most extensive, and the formei had been pretty well drained by the 10) hands of the snow plow train when went down a day or two befcyre. 'How the 150 weather-bound unfortunates farec on Thursday night, and yesterday auc last night, we can only conjecture. W( hope, however,that they will be released from the snow blockade before their ra tions become so scant that raw corn and mule meat will be considered luxurious. Mr. Mcllrath, foreseeing the starva tion which an unexpected addition of 150 souls to the population of Farming ton might produce, footed it over to Rosemount, where he remained Thum day night, and yesterday procured a team at an extravagant sum,and arrived home safely last evening. He reports the depth of snow on the prairies at ; fully three feet. Burbank & Co. design sending down stages to Farmington to-day, and rescu ing the. unfortunate passengers. This would have been done before had the telegraph been in operation: The St. Paul & Pacific Railroad was yesterday compelled to cease running their trains, and the. Minnesota Valley Road is reported to be in the same Condi tion.,lf we have no more snow storms they will be in running order very soon, however. THE SOUTHERN BORDER.—The President, in a communication to the Senate, incloses the opinion of the Secretary of War that it is not consistent with the public interests to give, in answer to the resolution of the 11th inst., the letters of General Sheridan and other officers of the Department of Tekas.in regard to the present condition of affairs - on the Southern frontiers, and especiallylin re lation to any violation of neutrality on the cart of the army now occupying the[ right bank of the Rio Grande. r A PORT WAYNE paper speaks of what: it calls an important rialroad project, Which contemplates the construction of aroad from Vincennes, Ind., to Indianapolis, thence to Fort Wayne and Toledo.
