WILLIAM J. EYER.
Dec. 14. 1839.
U. S. SENATOR.
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.

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."

' 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. Boys take warning.
