A number of gentlemen have been named for tin? h'nrh anil important station, by their respective friends, in almost every portion of the statr. All of them good sound democrats, and many of dtcrling talents. It will, of course, be one of the first acts of the Legislature, which meets on tho 7th of next month, to make the appointment, and we hope and trust that tho honor will fall upon pome onu of tho most talented members of tho party, as at tho pre sent tiu.e, particularly, tho interest of the state and nation require that wo should be well and ably re presented in that body. It is true that wo now have a Senator (Mr. Hnchanan) who is not inferior to any other member, but yet it is necessary that wo should havo another who can stand side by side with him in defences of tho democracy of the coun try and tho rights, of the people. We have many Euchmcn,&wc hope and trust, that tho Legislature will not disappoint the expectations of tho people. (Tj'Tho Warren Advocate in extracting the pro ceedings uf tho November Danville meeting, pub lishes the resolution relating to the Harrisburg pa i pers, as u part of the adopted p ocredings. If tho -i!. ...mi c ......... r. . .I.J.I.

Will the Advocate, in justice to the Democracy of Co lumbia county, make tho correction. They do not wish to bo considered as having passed a resolution calculated to do injustice to n highly respected de mocratic paper merely to gratify the personal feeling of tho" Chairman of the Committee." Wc arc much pleased tu leatn that at an election held at Washington, in this county, on Saturday last, our friend, JAMES McCOIl.MICK.was elect ed major of that Baltdllion ot Militia, by a very handsomo majority over his competitor, Mr. Fulraer. The votes wcro For McCormick, 253 Fulmer, 190 Majority, G2 ' Winter has commenced in earnest, snow having fell on fiunduy last, eight or ten inches deep, which gavo us fine sleighing for Christmas. Wo learn by tho papers from tho south that tho snow storm was much more severe, rendering tho roads almost impassable. Forty mi!e3 north of us, but little fell. On Friday, the 20th inst. Henry Koblcr Mussel man was executed in the goal yard, in Lancaster, for tho murder of Lazarus Zcllcrbach. Ho declared his innocence to the last. rX5Tommy bawls lustily for " MORE HOPn." Wo would ndviso him to takp n trip to Northum berland county, ho can there find one that the Courts of that county cut in twain to cnablo him to leave for his present location. It is said to be hiigthy, and in the possession of several poor people, who .would be glad to exchange It for something mori tangible. They do not want the body, for that (would be dead iveight. In New Yotk a few days sinrr, Judge Edwards, in sentencing John Smock to rdeath for the murder of his wife, stated, that f Within the last nine years eleven men had been arraigned before him for murdering their wives 10 of whom, likn tlm prison er now tinder sentence, were drunkards. J Judgo Edwards gavo it as his opinion, that i . i.... c i.. r .!....! : luiuc-ii'uitiia ui mo rimiva i;uiiiuimcit in this country were from intemperance. Tho surplus wheat of Michagan, Illinois and Indiana is estimated at 10,000,000 bu shels. Two or th reu millions of bushels are now in the hands of farmers in the plate of Michigan, which cannot be shipped till tiox (spring. From ibaN. t. Commeroial of Tuesday. SEVERE SNOW STORM. Those who wcro nt the fire in Cedai street, on Saturday night, will long reccol leer the deluge of rain which fell until after midnight. As we supposed, while the rain was pouring down in this city, there was a severe snow storm at no great dis tance from us. The steamboat Swallow, which left this city on Saturday evening, was unable to proceed finlher than Hudson whence she returned this morning, without any mail. The pilot of tho Swallow, who has been on the river for many years, informs us that the snow storm on Saturday night was heavier than any within his reccoflectian. At Hudson and its vicinity the snow fell 18 inches on a level. The river was not fro zen over, but there was too much (foaling ice between Albany and Hudson to rcnJe" it safe for the boat to proceed farther than Hudson. She will go up to-night, but will probably not be able ro proceed farther Mian Catskill. At tho Eastward, the snow fell in prodi gious quantities. We are told that it lay two feet deep on the ground at New Haven- The cars could hardly be dragged upon the railway, with all the power of sieam tnai count ue raised, so that three hours were require J to work their way to Meridan. Within twenty miles of this ci ty the snow represented to bo from eighteen inches to two fect in depth. Since the above was in type another boat haw arrived and brought the mail. We copy the following from the Argus of yes- uiruuy. THE WEATHER AND THE MAILS. bnow began to (all at about 11 o'clock on Saturday night; and continued falling, without intermission, during all yesterday. oo mat nt night it was, at an avcr.ige, of great uepin, anu in some streets and places, owing to the drift impassable. As it had not ccasen snowing wnen our paper was put to press last night, it is impossible to predict mc euu oi ii. Of course the mails were impeded in ev ery direction. JNouc arrived duiing the day, by rail load or steamboat, or from any quarter. It is supposed that the steam boat Iia3 not ventured above Hudson, and tnat tlm roads ate little better than impas sablo between that place and this. Our latest dales, therefore, fiom Washington. are of Wednesday, and from New York of T rid ay. DESTRUCTIVE STORM, AND LOSS OF LIFE. The Boston papers of Monday evening me luui uiiorni us mat, mat city and the neighboring towns were, on Sunday nishl and Monday morning, visited with the most tremendous ale that has occurred hi that section of country for many years. The destruction of properly was immense, and it is already ascertained that more than FIFTY LIVES WERE LOST. Of 00 vessels in the outer harbor of GIou ccster, 21 were driven ashore of which latter, only one was not a total loss. Three sunk, and the ctews are probably lost. A letter in tho Mercantile Journal, dated Cape Ann, says : " At the commencement of the gale, a great many coaslcis entered the harbor, and the most of them were compelled to anchor at the entrance. About 20 of these coast ing vessels wero driven ashore, of which 10 went to pieces, and many of the indi viduals on board, probably a fourth part, were drowned. Our informant saw 17 dead bodies lying on tin; beach; among them was the body of a woman, found lashed to the windlass bilts of ;i Castine schooner; two of the crew of this schooner were lust. " The scenes which occurred during the violent gale yesterday, where truly heart renderiug. Tho vessels which drifted a sliore lay within 30 yards uf terra firina, between which and them dashed the formi dable waves, breaking with great fury, in somuch that assistance by means of boats could not be rendered. Some wa3 washed ashore and escaped with life and other on rafts, or by ropes, reached the shore much exhausted. Eighteen or twenty sail of vessels, by cutting away their masts, rode out tho gale. At Sandy Bay, a schooner, name un known, loaded with flour, struck on a reef, while entering the harbor, and went instant ly to pieces. It is thought that all on board were drowned." Cheap Living. A Virginia paper slates, that it is the intention of the hold and boarding house keepers in Richmond to charge $18 a week for board during the en suing session of the Legislature. Remarkable Death. Jacob Snyder, Jr. was found dead in a house in Hudson Street, New York, and what was singular ho was standing erect, and held in hU death-grasp a bottle of whiskey, which was extricated with difficulty. He was a victim to intemperance. The coronet found his subject standing, as ifiu mock ery of tho levelling powers of the "Bottle Imp." The scene must have been curi ous. A disgraceful riot of about 100 blacks came oil' in Philadelphia on Sunday last. One of the rioters named lllako, has been committed in default of $1000 bail, for as sault and battery on officer M'Lcan; while endeavoring t rusk neact, By the Pillsbure Advocate and Emnnr'i- tttn wo learn that a gentleman of Zanesvillo, uruo, a lew days ago offered 1020 bis of Flour, at two dollars nnd soventy-five cents per barrel, and could not find a purchaser. .A lad, fourteen years of age, was recent y brought bcfoie the police of Boston. and sent to the House of Correction as a common drunkard.
