^.*^%, Jf,4Mf*ty^N*ttM His EXPERIENCE wrrt* SNOW—AN EAST INDIAN'S SKOOND WINTER m NEW ENO- Rev. J. C. Gangooly. the converted Brahmin, has published in tbe Boston Transcript the following interesting ac- count of his personal experiences and impressions from change of climate :— IllosToN, Jammiy U, IQ(>() Mr. Editor : Wherever I go', the first thing I am asked lis my impiession of the winter. '* How do you bear our New England winter, sir?'' <; Does not the weather affect your health ?\ &c, are the inquiries of my friends. In answer, I would s^iy, I bear the cold'as well as anybody, Hud like the American winter, it is so ful^ of new and amusing scenes to me. The skating, sleighing, snows, queer looking caps, tippets, &c , are all novelties to mo. , Beforo coming to this country I had read about the western winter—of wat- er frozen so hard thatjbeavy teams oasih pass over it—of the-ground covered will) snow several feet deep. These accounts I believed in part, but the rest sounded to me like a grandmother's story. Of course I saw ice in Calcutta imported from Boston, but was pu/./.cled to know how water couJd bo so hard by freez- ing. This was a very natural perplexi- ty, because I had no idea of the thing at , all. When I told tho ladies hero that the hindoos boil simple milk so hard that they make dolls, flowers, &c., out of it to adorn their tables, they hardly believed it until I did the experiment before their eyes. They by their Own bands made flowers of different shape and size, which, by half an hour, became hard as rock. As it was a year before last May that I came to this country, I inquired of Auuit y Jan. 2HL;' SENATE.—A bill to atneftd the gen||- my friends how soon the snow would fall and water freeze. I used to look through the windows early in mornings to see if there was any snow on the ground. In September I noticed some- thing white spreading over the ground ; I rushed out in ecstacy, and told mv friends about it. Can you imagine my disappointment when they told me it was mere fro3t ? In Boston I faiv the iirstsnow. AstonisHed, Istood to watch the flakes falling from the sky. \Faih i er,\ said I, \ihus thy blessings fall up- i on u>, abundantly and impartially ; up- | on (lie good and the evil alike.\ 1 j wished very much thaf my Bengalee j friends could see such a sight ; and find- ' ing it was impossible, thought of some way to send ibem a little relic white mud I made a solid, hoav ; j now at the Capital of Ohio by tho invi- snowball, which seemed so durable in union of the Legislature of (ho latter the open air, that I hoped to send it to | State; that so marked an occurauce is India by (he first opportunity ; took it eminently calculated to foster that i carefully put it on fhe courtesy* and good neighborhood due Aeeci 1 tell you Uic re- ) from representatives of all the States the rate* of wharfage and the wharves, slips' and piers in .New and Brooklyn. The Judiciary .Coturoj Uae» rojpftad favdrabfy on the bill relative to cbrh- morcial paper and protests; also favor- ably on tho bill to protect proporty in trade of married woman. Mr. Hammond introduced a bill re lativo to taking testing hi certain cases. •• \ [ Mr. -Ramsey Irrtrofnera a hill \t o amend the Revised Statutes relative to the liability of stockholders iu corpora (ions. The concurrent resolution of tho As •aenibly, inviting the Governors and Leg' islaturcs of Kentucky and Tenilesseo to visit Albany, was uniuiimously adopted The Committee on Commerce and Navigation have been empowered to send lor persons and papors in regard to frauds in the sale of passenger tick ots. The same Committee reported a bill —the jsamo as that of last year—to fix the rates of wharfago in New York, Vessels of 200 tons or less 1 cout pei ton per day for uso'-of piers, wharves or bulkheads. Vessels over ^00 ton dc per ton additional for each (on ovi 200. For making fust to anchor vessel or anchoring in any slip or basin, half the abovo rates. It imposes doubJi rates as penalty for neglect or ro.'usal to pay within twenty-four hours after de maud. Owners of piers aro authorized to charge 5 cents per ton per day for goods remaining on piers over forty-eight hours. Adjourned till to-morrow evening. AssiuMDLY.—Mr. Coukliug presented two more remonstrances, numerously signed by commercial firms in New York against a pro ra^a freight bill, railroad toll bill, or any measures designed to cripple tho conimerco of State or destoy its commercial supremacy. Mr. Garrctson presented a petition to prevent the delivery of fugitive slaves —said he did so as a matter of duty — but desired to express his abhorance of all such petitions,, as asking a viola- tion of law and an outrage of the Con- stitution. Gov! Morgan sent in a c mnu ideation ante i stating that the Governors and Legisla- te i tures of Kentucky and Tent essee art to Mr. mantle suit? il.'Si! • pi>ce. it is \i •11 know mv letters to Bengal I described the leading features of'an American winter, but could not write anything about freezing ; hoped to do it bv and by, ai ter I had som e experience of 'it. Would you smile, .Mr. Editor, when I say i really wished (o freeze a little, just to know what the sensation was ? but. the Indian heat was so much in me that no such thing.has occurred yet. I daresay fi'erc will be some chance this winter for me to understand feezing. You re-., member the cold days you had last Jan- uary : I then rode several miles in the country on an open sleigh, without a scarf or ::nything to cover my ears. The second winter is said to be more trying to a tropical man thi.n the first. There is some truth in the proposition, but not a great deal. Last winter I did not have an overcoat until Christ- mast ; this whiter I wore it in October; ' I did not wear gloves most of the time ; in this winter, besides the mittens,\ 1 put my hands in the coat pockets, This is not for the cold, though ; I fear 1 have learned a Yankee habit. Last MondayT rode seventeen miles in an open sleigh, and did not suffer more than my companions. My health is, on the whole, better in this country. My friends tell me to eat meat, even if it iwas a uery little, and to drink some, warm drink, but I cannot do so. I nev- er ate any meat, or used any drink but that which comes out of the bosom of our mother earth Now and then I wished to be in India, to see the land smile, the flowers bloom. and the birds sing in these months. On the late Christmas, your churches were decorated with, leaves only—there were hardly any flowers there/ In Calcutta, you could cover the churchyard with a few dollars' worth of flowers^yar^ou could entertain a party of twenty ladits ai.dgentlemen, for instance, with four- teen kinds of fruits, at the expense of two dollars. Contrasts like these cre- ate a bit of homesickness in me, but I cover it up with the garment of duty, and go on in my way rejoicing, sing- ing aud praising the glory of the Most High. ' J. C. GANGOOLYi One Dav Later from fafifornin—TLe Overland Mini. The Overland Mail of the Gth, with one day's I%er news from California, ar- rived this morning. The failure of a Sacramento house, involving a temporary suspension of a San Francisco jobbing firm, has been un- doubtedly magnified by a portion of the press into three or four failure's of heavy houses. This is not correct. The San Francisco house comproui* issed at seventy cents on the dollar, aud and resumed. No general uneasiues: was felt, there being no cause for it. A Democratic caucus to nominate r candidate for United'States Senator wa- beld at Sacrameuto on the 5th. Sevei ballots were taken, the average vote of which stood: For Weller, 37 ; Denve 33 ; Baldwin, 11 ; Washington, 9 ; Mac- , 8. The result was considered Mr. Weiler than was •presei toward each other, and recommending the passage of a concurrent resolution invitingjho Governors and bodies men- tioned, to extend their visit to this Cap- ital. Mr. Flagler introduced such a reso- lution, and advocated it as calculated to foster the fraternal feelings between the States. Mr. Max on was willing enough to ex- tend the invitation, if the political mor als of the visitors would bo benefitted by the free air of the Empire State. But he desired to know, if the invitation should be returned, if the members ac- cepting it would be allowed to speak their true sentiments without being tar. ed and feathered or hung at the limb of a tree. If these persons came here, he desired to know whether they were to be allowed to speak their pro slave re- sentments without similar risks. After some considerable debate the resolutions were adopted unanimously. The Bill to provide for completing the canals was debated. Mr. Ficro moved 55282,000 for the extension of the Che- nango Canal. Mr. IWS.T opposed the motion. Mr. Ferry replied. The de bate was continued by Messrs. Bell. Me Murphy and Trttrnnn. Progress was finally reported. The Senate adjourned till Monday evening. ^ vVtislintgion Mirers—TIIC speuhcrsiiip.

All hough it has al- ways 'beersa,faVoritb Saying With a ma- jority of tho people of his State, *''H6w splendidly tho Little Villain lies,\—yet for the past two years, sparks of man- hood we%& discovered occasionally, as his burning invecf-ive has mado President BrciiAMAN and his minions quake and tremble in high places, in consequence of their adhesion to the Lecompton iniquity, and corruption in office generally. Then, his speeahes were renowned for their in- dependence, and adherenco .to principle, in contending against gigantic schemes of wickedness. Now. witness tho con- trast. As vislocs of Presidential honors oc- casionally gleam in the lurid light of the Charleston convention, he sees that who- ever obtains, the support of fho South, must profess adherenoe to the peculiar institution in all its phases, and eompli- ment the pro-slavery oligarchy on all o' their benevolent schemes for the Chris- tianizing of tho benign institution of slavery. In his last and most debasing och, ho professes to include in his hill prevent one State from invading an- other, a clause making it, a criminal of- fense to moke- any more free Stat' s after ' the manner of Kansas. Ho wishes to ut down all aid societies, and crush them out. entirely. He also wants in his bill a clause conferring on the President unlimited power of money and armies, to suppress, what, in his opinion, may be the first dawnings of arconspiracy. As ; DOUGLAS says in his speech—we quote his own words—\I am of the de- liboralo conviction, that the Harper's Ferry crime was the natural and logical and inevitable result of the 1 cachings.of the Republican party, as explained apd enforced in their platform, their partisan presses, and tho speeches of their leaders in and out. of Congress.\ Then Mr. DOUGLAS is of tlio deliberate opinion that the doctrines of Republican states- men lead to conspiracy ? If so, he wo'd give to onr worthy \ public funtionary,\ Mr, BUCHANA.V, power to crush out Re- publicanism, with the armies, which DOUGLAS wishes to place at his disposal. Charming doctrine! But it was ap- plauded by the slaveholders. We are glad that we aro thus in'brm- :d how Mr. DOUGLAS stands. I f he has xawled low enough in the dirt of the slaveholders, he may possibly have a ohance of the nomination. But ho may share the fate of poor FRANKLIN' PIERCK, who, after obeying the behests of his Southern masters for a time, was thrown one side. His catering to the fire-eat- ers has rendered him more obnoxious at tue North than ever before. So if his nomination were possible, there would be great doubt, of his carrying his own State. The Republicans would rejoice to have the Democracy nominate the man who, with sacnligious hands, sundered the me honored compromise of 1820—the man who discovered that, all compromise were unconstitutional — that HENRY CLAY, THOMAS JEFFERSON, and the fathers of the republic were ignoraut of the first principles of constitutional law. Senator DOUGLAS has thus bid defiance to the long cherished sentiments of Northera freemen. He may live to reap his reward. TOWS MEETINGS. The time is close at hand when th< electors of Lewis County, must select their Town Officers for the year I860. It is true, these generally, are of slight importance to those of a State or Feder ai character; nevertheless, they are not so slight, but that they need looking af- ter, and demand the attention of voters at the polls, in order that men of the right stamp—politically and morally — may be placed in the various places ot trust within the sphere of town officers And more especially is this true of th present year in this County. By bug-bear stories, promises and en jo!ing3, many of our honest Rcpublicai electors were induced at our lust town meetings to vote for other than the regn lar nominees, and the result of such way wardness was visible in placing in the hands of the Buchamm Democracy, the majority in the Board of Supervisors dn ring the-past year. Our friends must learn the truth.<>( that adage, so thoroughly ; dhered to bs the,Democracy—.save iu the instances o( Hards and Softs— that union is strengh.

This is the insolent manner in which the organs of sham-democracy vaunt their intentions of buying up the votes of the masses—threatening to demolish the rights of Free Labor and supplant the principles of Liberty with gold. A BRIDE KILLED SIX HOURS AFTKR, IIKR MARRIAGE.—We have already- giv- en tne paTucinnio or tt-j 4 L , VJ.I«U<, railroad accident on Wednesday, near Sing Sing, of Mrs. Fields, of Brooklvn. Her name was Ann Tuttle, of Bloo'm- ingrove, Orange county. She was sis- ter-in-law of J. B. Van Deusen, of Kingston, Ulster county, and was mar- ried on the morning of her death, ; in the Second Dutch Church of Kingston, to Mr. Fields, of Brooklyn—with whom she became acquainted while serving as a school teacher in that city.! She and her husband took the cars at Rhiueheck, at 12:48, and at 3 o'clock the accident occurred which caused the injuries of which she died at 7 o'clock the same evening. Married at 12 o'clock and dead at 7 ! Her remains were carried on Friday from the same altar wher she was made a bride on Wednesday It is very seldom that so melancholy a tragedy strikes upon 1 the public heart. TH E KANSAS SPY IN THE RKPCBLTCAK CAMP.—Geo. W. Brown, editor of the Lawrence Herald of Freedom, ha; through all the struggles in that Tet ritory, used his influence to thwart the labors of the Free State party. It was early understood that he had received a money consideration for his treason, and he has more than bnce earned the fate usually meted out to \spies\ in the time of war. Bui he has escaped all pun ishment save what was embodied in the expressed contempt of the community in which he lived, The law, however, has not got hold of him. His own wife is the comph ' ant. She sues for a divorce on the ground of brutal cruelty and sharrieless profligacy. FIRE IN NEW YOHK.—The buildings in which the New Ybrlt Ledger if us prin- ted; on Fulton and Ann streets, were totaly consumed by fire, on the morning of the 30th. Th e aggregate Joss is about $175,000. on whichisan insurance covering two-thirds of the amotint.

Pink hats with white plumes, or white huts with pink plumes, seem greatly to predomi naf e; contrast, and that, too, of the most I brilliant hues imaginable, aro the stvel r/ua non with the belle of Baltimore. 'Tis said that when a young lady makes her debut, or first entree, into the fashionable circles of high life in Boston, I he first question asked, is, \ Ls she in- telligent?' whereas, in New-York, it Is, \ Has .she wealth 2\ if in Washington, to bo of the bun ton, she must he accom- plished; hut in this cily, the iinhersn) inquiry is, \Lishe handsome?' anil i admire the wisdom of a Southern planner, when in search of a \ help-eat,\ when advised-to advertise, selected a Balti- more paper as his patron .sheet: \for remarked he, \it is the only place where a man runs any sort of a chance of get- ling a handsome woman for a wife.\— I sometimes think that the ladies here urc right proud of their reputation which [ speak of, for if is very rarely the case that one ,s> es a lady with a veil drawn oyer her face; in fact, they ar^ seldom, if ever, worn, except in affliction and mouruiiig. I doubt if there is another city in the world, whose population afford such a heterogenous commingling of various Idoods and temperaments as does this, and more particularly would wc mention that peculiar class of intergrades, the free mtilatoes and Africans, and the same races in the condition of bondage. 1 have been not a little amused in noticing the manner in which .these different classes treat thoao not in the same clique with themselves. A free African looks with contempt upon a mulatto, and finds their vocabulary too weak to express their disdain, and it is the same when we reverse it: for a mulatto considers the \ black imps of Satan,\ as entirely be- neath their notice and consideration.— I am informed by a young gentleman, (a Northern man, by-the-way,) a medical student, who spent his last year's vaca- tion in practicing among the lower per tions of the black portions of the black population in the city, that they are al- most, invariably destitute of those social and hospitable virtues which he had iicaM so rreery atmnureq TO r.ms class a- the North, they will let a friend (so call ed) suffer rather than make any exertioi in their behalf, or submit to any personal inconvenience to help (hem.

Turin. Wo intended last week to have notic ed the death of JAMES MALCOLM of Tur- in, and the proceedings attending his bur- ial. But our forms were \lueked up,\ and on the press, before tbe services were over. Mr r MALCOLM was a mem- ber of tbe Turin Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, and, according to/ his wish, was buried with Masonic hor.ors. Representatives from the Lodges of Boonville and Lowville, met at Turin.— A sermon was preached by Rev. HARLOW BOWEN, and the burial services were con ducted by brother JOHN CONOVKR, P. M. and Rev. JOHN BAILEY, Chaplain, o Lowville Lodge, No. 134. The occasion was one of solemn interest. Brother MALCOLM was a worthy young man.— , He died aged 35 years. j A Freeman's Voice in Kemneky. | SPEECH OP C4SSIDS H. CLAY. u The calm and truthful speech of CAS SIUS M. CLAY, delivered from thesteps of the Capitol at Fraukford, Ky., on the IOth of January, has already been alluded to in onr columns. - The speech itself is now before us in full, and the' sentiments it contains in defense of He- publican Principles are truly inspiring. We make room for some of the leading passages, After alluding to a. recent speech of Vice President BRECKINRIDGE, and to the late message of Gov. MACOF. FIN of that State, Mr. CLAY defines THE HIGHER LAW. I upderstand the preliminary charge to be, in the first place, against what the distinguished Senator elect (Breckin- ridge) chooses to style the sentiment of a leading Republican of the United States none other than Gov. Seward, the pres- ent Senator of New York. Allow me to say, in the beginning, that lam not now, and never have been a partisan of Gov, Seward ; *biit standing as he does, one of the representatives of the Em- pire State of New York, that great State in which centers not only the conimerc*, but, I may say. the political intelligence of this country ; admitted on all hands to be.as.able a man, if not the ablest man, iu the Senate o( the United States. I say I would be \doing injustice were I not to vindicate him from all that is un- justly imputed to him here. At other times and in oth^r places that Senator is perfectly competent to vindicate him- self* but herein ^Kentucky where that vindication, on account of the censorship of the press, aud in part, the refusal to allow the constitutional freedom of speech, he will hardly else be vindicated. 1 imagine J shali not he considered at all intrusive if I answer ono of those charges made by those distinguished gentlemen. Th e first d«tSJnciatioa that comes to us. with regard to Mr. Seward is thjvt he is a higher law man. JLjet us look' at that for a moment—-a higher lav ' man. I itttend to be very distinctly unilewtood on tbiasubjejpt.- IB this tinVe.as Vgrcat issues—issues uriparalleled'jfl their con- sequences in the worfuV—-ate dependent upon the principles/advocated i by par- ties, you-should n6t go a way, with,doubt upon your wil»djs, fcndyou ytiil allow me to go into details as to, thejtrue meaning i |o^thist^rni is used, By a\libber HUr; 1 ah ^enactment which has the s^oreddflSB, the 1 -—ight, aad tiw p6xnt 4ha> helooga td human lav*-• Now,:are jwe, » . .Cbrist- ;i»n j^pje,, ao4 f ia^bflre. .any .rpan that claims to be, pok of t^e common brother- hood o^dhrtssilnify that will denv that 1 tnify that will deny that 1 .there fcan overruling!

I[putiTfl every Democrat who hears me to niJkA if that Is not the true doctrine, if igj -i be^notsoj how dared President BucW ^ ant o make his recommendations to fw gress, in the name of Almighty God ? 1 That, then, ig the assertion. It \s m an assertion that brings anarchy upo^ community, but it is the only one n t ; ' ciple of right and justice upon which th» permanent good of the community J^ rest ; it is the only permanent securih for goods, property, reputation, liJ[ 4 ««* opinion, and that was the seme i which Senator Seward has uttered tW •* s^nament. aud he has again and a «gfn ' isaid when constitutions were madeiS laws enacted, not that we should at ignominy and reproach upon them disobey them, but that we should ac'ouT esce in them, obeying them ui,til S\ are changed by an intelligent constit ency, acting through the Legislative i partment of the Government. Thar what be said, and there I stand bv him here and elsewhere, now and forevtT audtborcis not a man liere'to-niBii' that does not stand by us, acknowledge - that principle, that reliance upon God •f he»c'are^ speak his honest sentiments ' •> We had a great deal of it at least, in' ttus same Representatives' H ;i n f roa , which we are excluded 'to-night. Xh 8 opposite party found there was a '\hid er law,\ and what was that, divine L< omnibotent God? It was slavery!-. Slavery is higher than heaven and earth and all constitutions and laws It ii found in tbe Constitution we are fold or it is higher than that Constitution\ and since that time we have heard co' thing of the \higher l aw \ of Senator Seward. 1 hat thing is neutralized, as chemists say, done for, as common men may urge. THK IIIKKPHESSIBLK CONFLICT. Another allegation is made against that Senator, intended to aff-ct the Republican organization. It is now al- leged that he has announced in his Roch- ester speech, thismuch abused and cant ph rase of a conflict; that there is a con- flict between slave labor and,, free labor all through this Government; and. w|\ go on until one or the other uttetli triumphs. That is the .assertion. % acknowledge it—we ovrji up. So let it examine it. Why gent'emen, I under stood that to be the declaration of o$» fathers in 1776. I understood that j be the openly avowed seutiment of Wast ington, Madison and Jefferson. I undei stood that to be the declaration of tb resolution in Virginia, for which vot; •candidate for Speaker of the Deuvje'ratii party, Mr. Bocock, voted some-years| ago I understood furthermore, that) that was the declaration of the lattl South Carolina Legislature; and abott-l all have it here, taken fr m the Louis- ville Courier, the leading Democratic organ iu Kentucky, more than ten yean ago. You would like to r ad it, then will you have the goodness to .tarn ts the files of that journal, and see if I lis or not. [Ciies of \Read it.'*] y will read the extract which 1 cat with my own scissors from the Louis^i! Courier, and by referring to the riles« that paper yon will find it in the woii which I to-night quote : \ I presume that it will not be deni- ed that free labor and slave labor art incompatible. The white man is unwil- ling to labor beside the slave, 'aud the slave is equally adverse to laboring b the side of the white map. There ex- ists a mutual repugnancy, and it follom ['of course, that the mass of the labor 01 Kentucky must be .wholly the labor 5 j . the slave.\- j What fhink you of that* conjisg fra .] this high,.
