Letter frost Rev. J. W . Bssl II watts Muscat ink, Iowa, Jan. 17, '57. Ma. Editor : We have wintor in the true acceptation of that term. It commenced early in the season, and has kept on with but littlo variation to this date and bids fair to continue its Icy grasp until Spring shall come and claim her right to reign. Although the winter hore have more cold weather than in Indiana, yet from its uniformity it is decidedly much 1 - I.aaWL. ,1. iin.t ilm "lv'v "" p ui u, anu uracing u mo bbigiii. Tho thermometer has averagod from zero down to 8 degrees- Ono morning tho mercury stood at 15 degrees. The cold winds are very piercing, and out on tho praries are very severe, and if the traveler should not chance to bo well bundled up, he is in great danger of falling into that "sleep which knows no waking." Quite a number of persons, and in some instances whole families havo frozen to death this winter not far from this vicinity. I could give several cases let one suffice. A Mr. and Mrs. Wade a id child, i with a young lady in company, went a few miles on a visit to a friend in a sleigh, i and were lost on their return. Becoming bewildered on the prairie, tho driving I winds covering the road with snow, they 1 know not what direction to take. He left , tho sleigh and started to find the road, the ! family awaiting his return but alas ! they I waited in vain he never retunrned nor ; did any of the four live to reach their destination. They were found the next day frozen to death, and what was strange, within a few rods of their dwelling ! Mr. i Wado lay on tho snow near the sleigh, with his arms extended ! Mrs. Wade sat upright with her eyes cast down upon her child, clasping it to her bosom the young lady near by. Several children are left to mourn the untimely death of these parents. That house became truly the houso of mourning. As a general thing the cold weather here seems wholly disregarded the city about the noon of the day presents most lively scenes of bustle and activity in business. Tho ladios are out with their elastic step and rosy checks. Pedestrians of all sorts aro seen going it with a rush, while sleds, sleighs, wagons and drays, almost block up the streets at times. There is one class of walking things who venture out of doors sometimes that fare very hard in this frosted atmosphere they are the hairy-faced gentry. I met one whose mouth was froze complctly up he couldn't spit, he couldn't talk, until his mouth was thawed open. You are aware that Iowa is blessed with a prohibitory liquor law a sensible and wise, high-minded, virtuous and honorable bench of Supreme Judges, who declare tho law Constitutional, and a Legislature that say the law shall stand, although there have been strong efforts made by tho democrats of the Jno.

KleXlCP. m i ii . . . k m . .... me ui wry 01 toe Mexican Kepubltc is comprehended in the word Revolution. The inhabitants, North or South, East or West, believe in no other remedy for a political grievance). They know of no means but tho awordby which a dispute in political economy can be settled, and every faction or every fragment of a faction that differs in opinion with the Fed eral Government resorts immediately to j pronuuciameutoa and aaaumes an attitude of open rebellion. To suppress these insurrectiona, the whole strength of succes at Bl sive Governments has been directed, and their resources have boon exhausted. In very few instances have either party achievod remarkable triumphs. The Revolutionists, if worsted in a conflict, have always boon able to retreat; and, in places made impregnable by nature, continue to defy the federal power, which has been too woak and too poor to follow up any ad vantage it may havo gained. Nor are these the ouly difficulties against which a President of tho Mexican Republic has had to contend. 2e has general ly been tho choice of a coalition, made up for the time being, but dissolved directly the election is over, ready, perhaps, within a month, to combine again for the overthrow of the very man lately placed at the head of the Government. Indeed, when we remember that almost every shade of political party exists in Mexico Monarchist, Republican, Ultra- Democrat, Churchmen Anti-Churchmen, besides a host of minor factions and when wo also remember the natural propensity of the Mexican to get up a revolution on the slightest provocation, it may well seem impossible for any Govemmout to continue long in power. For these reasons we are not disposed to predict that a reign of tranquility and or der has at length beon inaugurated under the administratiou of President Conionfort. Nevertheless, as matters now stand, the prospects for the future look brighter than they have ever looked . before. 8inco his elevation to the Presidency, Gen. Comonfort has sought to strengthen his Government and obtain means for the relief of the necessities of the State- In both measures he has been eminently suc cessful. Ho had at the outset a powerful enemy to overcome. The vast wealth and influence which the Roman Catholic .Hierarchy in Mexico possessed, might well have deterred a weaker man than Comonfort from entering the list against such an adversary; but with a boldness which has added greatly to his reputation end his popularity, ho has secured a revenue to theState by tho sale of the Church property, aud has at the same time broken the power ot an organization which has contributed not a little to the grievances with which Mexico haajbeen cursed. The re - hellions since instigated by the Romish Church, have been suppressed through Comonfort'8 .energy. Puebla has capitulatedand Vidaurri has submitted to the President's rule. Alvsrez appears in tho field at the head of 3,000 men, ready, if necessary, to defend the Government, which, according to all accounts, is gather ing fresh strength from day to day. The external relations of the Republic are also improving in their aspect The Tepic.difficulty with England has 'bean accommodated; Mr. Barron, the offended Consul, restored with all the honors, and the amount of indemnity due to his injuries referred to. the courts for adjucation. The Spanish issue is still open; but does not appear to be imminent, as the journals of the capitol pass it over without discussion. Certainly these are halcyon days for Mexico; a period of unexampled quiet snd hopefulness. Why msy not the better rule which the present authorities seem resolute to maintain, recover the lost ground of our neighbor; furnish new sources snd stimulants to industry, open channels of communication, tha!. shall not only expedite commercial intercourse, but so facilitated the military movements of Government troops as to check revolt, and discourage everlasting and mischievous i pronunciamentos? These new measures will add largely to the revenues by bringing under taxation lauds hitherto reserved to the Church, and by taxing the vast travel destined to throng the transit route of Tehuantepec. If the federal yoke be thus made more tolerable: if better police, and the railroads exterminate brigandage, and render persons and property secure in the pursuit of traffic, there is no reason why Mexico should not invite a large immigration from the United States, the only means of giving value to her prodigious natural ratuMtrrai. Had the last twentv years been years of tranquility and sound . f . ; would have found investment there, and yielded a net product of wealth, revenue snd civilization, that would have placed Mexico at the head of all the Spanish American States. But one of them, perhaps, is now behind hor, snd that is Niceraugua. Let us gathor from current auguries promises of better times. New York Times. er "How's Zand?"

When we havo strong faith in a principle, we are apt to be confident of iu ultimate triumph, And so, wear not yet willini to surrsnbbb9 aswawaVSw. der Kansas to the Abolition ists. We are for making soother effort, sod s vigorous effort toe, to repair the losses which we hsve Buffered by our insane negligence. It is not too late to redeem Kansas, if the people of the South will only be equal to the urgency of the occasion. Ws hsve friends in the field, and all that is aary la to give them adequate support. But, if we are going to rescue no time is to be lost. If ws hesitate many moments we will be beaten beyond the hope of recovering oar position. Shall not something be done for Kansas, and done without delay ? What that "something" should bo, aad how that "something" must be accomplished, ws leave to others to determine. We discharge our duty in announcing the necesity of instant effort, and appealing to tha friends of the South to redeem Kansas from the grasp of Abolitionism.

The rooms where the dough is mixed, are generally small and undeground; the men sleep often, pehaps generally, in tha same room a part of the night They of ten emoke or chew tobacco, or both, and ess are credibly informed that the feet instead of the hands are often employed in the process of preparing dough." And the New York Express follows with this strong corroboration: "There is a bakery not two hundred feet from Nassau street, we may add, where the laborers aro daily seen coming into the street, with their naked feet sad legs sll covered with dough, snd the dough oozing between their ten pedal extremities !
