THE ADVOCATE.
[G4 ~■.■■■ FEB. JUB39.
CITY ELECTION.
Urbanus Dart, Gee Dupree, James Moore,
Andrew L. King, Nathan Ballard, John R.
llazzard, and John Franklin, Jr. Esquires, were
elected on Monday last Councilmen of this
city, for the ensuing year. And at a meeting
of tlie Council elect, on Wednesday evening,
At L. Kino, Esq. was rb-elected Mayor. After
the organization of the Bdard, Doct. Gee Du
pree resigned his seat, and George Harring
ton, Esq-, was unanimously elected to fill the
vacancy. We have full confidence that the
present organization will meet the approba
tion of a large majority of our citizens, and
that they will perform their duties in a manner
satisfactory to the public.
As one deeply interested in the prosperity
and good order of our city, we intend to refer
to this election after the excitement conse
quent upon it has subsided.
We cannot now refrain, however, to ob
serve that it was with regret, we witnessed
the course pursued by some of our citizens,
who took a prominent part in it; and would
particularly refer one of the individuals to an
article penned and published by himself in
this paper of the 2t>th ult. on the subject of
the approaching election, and ask him in his
own language, if, on this occasion, he “ did
his duty as he can best approve.”
We had an alarm in this city, on Sat
urday last, from one of the disturbances which
sometimes occur in the vicinity of public
works. One of the Overseers came in from
the Brunswick Canal with intelligence that
there was a pitciied battle between two par
ties of the Irish employed there, and was soon
followed by several of his men dreadfully
bniised and cut A small party of cavalry
was immediately mustered under Capt. How
ard, and went to aid in stopping the mischief.
The fight was over, however, before they
reached the spot, the weaker party having re
treated into the swamp and dispersed. Fire
arms had been used, and it is important that
preparations should he made hy our citizens
to control these people in future, if necessary.
The contractors have increased their force of
late, and the consequences of a riot might be
serious. It seems that the Union men and
Orange Boys, or the Cork men and Kerry
men, are in such an .nflammable state of ani
mosity towards each other, that trifling causes
arc sufficient to embroil the whole. In the
present instance a quarrel between three men
the night previous caused a party of about a
hundred to make a sudden descent from their
station upon the others when quietly at work ;
while the two individuals who hud really
committed the first outrage, had left the work,
and were fifteen miles off.
This incident is characteristic of popular
violence, and a fair specimen of its results in
any community. We made on inquiry of an
Irish resident here, who was assisting a poor
fellow covered with blood from a frightful
gash in the head, how far matters were likely
lobe carried. “Och! you need be noways
unasy,” he said, “ it’s only an Irish frolic, jist
b quarrel between the Union and State Lights'
parties /”
At a public meeting held in this city on
Monday evening, 4th inst., the following Res
olution moved by our talented and worthy
fellow-citizen, Doct. Wm. Prince Wilson,
•was unanimously passed, ami ordered to be
published in the Brunswick Advocate:
Resolved, That the Legislative Delegation
from the County of Glynn, are from their con
stant and unwearied exertions in the cause of
Georgia, and the County of Glynn in particu
lar, fully entitled to the confidence and appro
bation of their constituents.
p IBE< A destructive fire broke out in Eli
zabeth city, N. C. on the evening of the 20th
„lt. which destroyed all the buildings between
Market and North St., with the exception of
the National Hotel, which was by the exer
tions of the firemen saved. The editor of the
“Phoenix,” lost part of a valuable library,
•unong which were many valuable classics,
nmrinostly out of print, and therefore difficult
to obtain. The value of them was about SSOO.
The aggregate loss by this fire is estimated to
be $12,000, on which there was no insurance.
A destructive fire occurred at Boston on the
25th ult. It commenced in the Iron Foundry
of Haskell & Turner, in Haverhill street, and
before it was arrested, several houses were
destroyed—loss estimated at SOO,OOO, of which
but a small portion is said to have been in
sured.
The Congressional Committee appointed to
investigate the Swartwout defalcation have
reached New York, and on Saturday the 2Gth
ult. commenced their investigations. They
sit at the Custom House, occupying a room in
one of the upper stories. Theiupaminations
are said to be strictly private. Three of the
Custom House Clerks have been already sum
moned before them.
Rail Roads.— The route from Detroit to
Chicago, as usually travelled on the lakes, is
about 900 miles. When the contemplated
line of rail road between these two places is
completed, the passage will be made in about
17 hours. So much for internal improvement,
says a contemporary.
The Washington Chronicle has been sus
pended in consequence of delinquent subscrib
ers not paying up their arrearages
The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 31st
uIL says—We were shown yesterday, in ope
ration, a small steam engine, constructed hy
Mr. C. A. Kirtland, of this city, which for
regularity of motion, and neatness in work
manship, will bear a comparison with any
thing of the kind we have seen. It is con
structed on the high pressure principle, and is
very simple, but does credit to the mechanical
skill of Mr. K. who, we understand, has had
very little to do with the mechanic art, but
commenced this piece merely to pass away
his idle hours, thinking he could succeed in j
making a steam engine. The size of the cy
lender of the engine is an inch and an eighth
in diameter, length of stroke four and three
quarter inches —performing over 300 revolu
tions per minute.
Mr. Kirtland is quite a young man, being
only about eighteen years of age, and as lie
has thus early shown a natural turn for flic
mechanic arts, by turning his attention to its
cultivation, he may at no distant day stand
among the most eminent men of the country.
From an extract of a letter in a Kentucky
paper, we learn that t.id celebrated horse lie- ■
trand Jr. has been bought by Mr. B. R. Jen
kins, of Scott Cos. (Ky.) and is now on his way
to that State.
A lot on Front street, Philadelphia, 22 feet
front, by 45 feet deep, was lately sold at auc

of Appeals of that State, died in Charleston
on Saturday evening last.
At St. Augustine on the 26th ult. twenty
Morus Multicaulis Trees were sold at auc
tion, and brought from $7 to $24 each.
Maryland. U. S. Senator. —The legislature
of Maryland, on the 26th ult., re-clected the
lion. Win. D. Merrick, (Whig) a Senator of
the United States for six years from the 4th of

Whaling Luck. —Three thousand barrels of
sperm oil composed the cargo of a whaling
vessel recently arrived at Newport.
Fi.ocr. —The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette
says, that upwards of 20,000 barrels Flour have
been purchased in tiiat market within the last
few weeks for shipment to England, none of
which, has yet left the city. Three ships are
loading at present for Liverpool with this ar
ticle.
The Rev. Mr. Mclntosh, formerly of
this County, it is expected will preach at the
Chapel, about five miles above this place, to
morrow morning at 11 o’clock, and at the
Court House in this city in the nfternoon, at
3 o’clock.
CONGRESS.
Washington, Jan. 25.
The proceedings in the House of Represen
tatives this day, are almost entirely without
interest. More than one hundred private
bills were read twice in Committee of the
Whole and ordered to be engrossed. It was
determined to devote for the remainder of the
Session, if necessary, the Ist and 4tli Fridays
of each month to action upon such private bills
as met no objection.
The President’s Message has at last been
referred to the appropriate Committees. The
House seems in a fair way of getting to busi
ness a little before the 4th of March, contrary
to a general anticipation.
Jan. 2<i.
Tnc Senate did not sit to-day.
In the H ousc, Mr. Bronson, from the com
mittee on Territories, reported a hill, authoris
ing the erection of certain public buildings in
the Territory of Florida.
Mr. Lincoln, from the committee on public
buildings, reported a bill making appropria
tion for the erection of a fire proof building
fortlteWar Department.
Mr. Campbell, from the committee on claims,
reported a bill to amend the act making com
pensation for the horses lost in the military
service of the United States.
A number of Senate bills were taken up,
read twice and referred, after which the House
passed to the consideration of bills on the pri
vate calender.
Jan. 27.
The subject under discussion in the House,
was the distribution of the Public Lands.
There are now four propositions before the
Special Committee as to the disposition; first,
the distribution of the proceeds of the sales
among the States; second, the graduation and
reduction of Uie prices of the land to a nomi
nal amount; third, graduation and distribution
combined ; and fourth, the cessation of the
lands for a fair equivalent to the States in
which they lie. The last projiosition was of
fered by Mr. Pickens, of S. Carolina.
Jan. 28.
In the Senate to-day, upwards of 150 bills
were received from the House of Representa
tives, and were referred to appropriate com
mittees. Tlie nfternoon was principally occu
pied by Mr. Davis, in reply to Mr. Benton’s
remarks )» fa vor of a repeal of the duty on
salt, to which Mr. Benton rejoined; and, after
a short Executive session, tlie Senate ad
journed.
In tlie House of Representatives, no busi
ness of importance was transacted. The whole
day was occupied in the presentation of reso
lutions.
In the Senate to-day, Mr. Benton presented
the memorial of Miss America Vespucci, a
Venitian lady, now in this city, and a lineal
descendant of the navigator, Americo Vespuc
cius.—The memorial asks Congress to confer
upon her the rights of citizenship, and grant
her a portion of the public domain. The me
morial relates, in a delicate and touching
manner, some passages of her strange and
eventful history. Mr. Benton stated that he
presented the memorial and accompanying
preface, in compliance with a promise made
to that effect to the French Minister, Mr. Poin
tois, before the lady’s arrival in this country.
The papers were referred and ordered to be
printed. This lady has certainly os good a

claim, and in some respects a better one, to a 1
grant of land firom Congress, than the Polish
Exiles.
No further business was transacted, except!
the continued discussion of the bill abolishing ;
the duties on Salt and the fishing bounties.
The House, on motion of Mr. Canibreling, j
went into Committee of the Whole on the j
state of the Union, and took up the Indian
and die Navy Appropriation Bills.
There is a disposition in Congress to sus
pend all further npproprmlions for tlie Navy
and the Fortifications, with a view to the for
mation of anew plan for sen coast and har
bor defence, and for conducting maritime war
fare. Steam will effect so complete a revolu
tion in maritime warfare and sea coast defen
ces, that much more money spent under the
old system will be thrown away.
. Tlie Light House and Harbor and River
Appropriations will be much reduced.
The whole sum appropriated for Harbors
and Rivers in 1823, was five hundred dollars;
now the estimate for continuing and complet
ing works already authorised is $1,700,000,
besides which there will, as usual of late, be |
an attempt made to appropriate as much more
for the commencement of new works. The
revenue cannot long withstand such a drain,
and the system, if continued, will lead to as
great difficulties as the high protective Tariff
| system. The sums of money laid out under
| this system are necessarily expended upon
limited localities, while it is collected from
the whole country. Again, it is managed so
loosely, that one year’s expenses of keeping
up a work, frequently amount to more than tlie
estimate for its whole cost.
[From the l’hila. Ledger Jan. 28.]
07 s GREAT STORM AND FRESHET—
THE RAILROAD AND FLOATING
BRIDGES AT GARY’S FERRY SWEPT
AWAY !! EXTENSIVE DESTRUC
TION OF PROPERTY!!!
The most severe and destructive storm
known in this vicinity for forty years, com
menced on Friday evening last, at about 1)
o’clock, with a violent westerly wind, and a
deluge of rain, which continued with unmiti
gated violence until near 5 o’clock on Satur
day afternoon, when a strong wind from the
northwest suddenly sprang up, the rain ceased,
and the atmosphere, under the influence of the
northwester, assumed a feeling of frigidity
which soon lowered the thermometer to some
dozen degrees nearer to zero.
In consequence of the storm, the railroad
being covered with water, the locomotive
train, with the Southern mail due Saturday
evening, was compelled to return to Wil
mington, and only arrived last evening, at
half-past five o’clock, by horse power. The
Southern mail then due lias not yet arrived.
On the Schuylkill, the damage is immense.
At Manayunk much property has been de
stroyed, and a number of poor families have
lost their little all, swept away with their
dwellings by the flood. They need relief, and
it is suggested to benevolent citizens t<> take
some measures to afford it to them. This is
a hard season of the year to be left without
house, home, and effects.—The damago done
is exhibited in detail below.
Here follows a long detail of the destruc
tion of bridges, bouses, stores, out-houses,
fences, and the loss of wood, coal, lumber,
&c. We can only make room for the follow
ing:
The keeper of the toll gate at the lower end
of Manayunk, had the lower story of his house,
situated on the hill side, entirely flooded, and
was obliged to let down his wife, just recov
ering from sickness, hy means of a rope from
the hack part of the house, where the water
was not so deep.
Mr. Enocli Randall, residing near to, and
employed at, Mr. Eckstein’s mill, was obliged
to remove his wife in a similar manner.
A dye house, belonging to Mr. Ripka’s mills,
together with all the utensils appertaining to
and contained in it, was swept off. Lias esti
mated at S7OOO, besides injuries at the mill.
A mill belonging to Mr. Kempton was badly
injured the loss is estimated at between 4 and
5,(X)0 dollats.
A mill belonging to Mr. Wimpenny, was
entirely swept off. ladss estimated at SIO,OOO.
Twenty-four canal boats were also blown
down the stream. One of them came in con
tact with the piers of tlie Manayunk bridge,
and was broken in two. Fortunately no per
sons was on board.
A horse floating down tlie river, was caught
in a tree, and the flesh completely torn from
his bones by the ice.
At the Almshouse Ferry, the family were
obliged to leave, the Water reaching the ceil
ing of the lower room.
At the foot of Arclr street, the ice, probably
impeded in its progress by the bridge, below
nt Market street, and the walls enclosing the
City Gas Works, just above the bridge, has
been carried up to Front street. The streets
here are covered with blocks of ice. Steel’s
store on this wharf seems half imbedded in ice,
which surrounds it so completely for a consid
erable distance as to make it difficult to ap
proach.
The ccllcr of a large warehouse, at Market
street wharf, seems to have* been filled with
water. Humphrey’s flour store, at Walnut
street, has been deluged, the whole of the base
ment story, covered with barrels of flour, has
been filled with water, and the flour barrels
are now lying imbedded in tlie ice. Many
barrels arc also thrown about tlie yard, ap
parently swept out of the store by tlie force of
the current The loss sustained here must be
great. The lower story of a store at Locus
| street has also been filled with water. The
i schooner Coaster, having about 120 tons of coal
I on board is lying up on this wharf, a consider
able distance from tlie river. From this down
to South street, the coal and wood which were
piled upon the wharves has been scattered a
bout, the coal boats and batteaux swept up from
the river into the yards, sometimes lying in
groups of ti or 8 together.
At South street, a sloop has been carried up
against a stable in Hamms &. Cos. coal yard;
and back of the Marine Hospital, several coal
boats have been thrown into the street, so as j
to obstruct the cartway. On the other side of
the river, the house that stood on the bank,
leading up to the Almshouse, appears now to
be standing in the middle of the river, the- ice
has been carried so far across the meadows.
Not a single wharf can be seen along the
whole extent down to Gary’s ferry, they being
covered with ice, and the water even with the
I top of them.
I At Gary’s Ferry, another scene of destruc
| tion is presented. The Floating Bridge has
I been swept entirely away, and not a trace of
'it left. But the greatest loss is that of a fine
large Bridge, built during tlie last summer by
the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad Com
pany, the spans of which, including about
200 feet of the centre of the bridjge, have been
carried away from its piers. The tops of two
of the piers have also been swept off. The
foundations and piers otherwise appear to be
uninjuried. The cost for building this bridge
wc are informed, was $70,000. We under
stand that the Company will construct a tem
porary bridge in a few days to supply the loss.
What extent of injury has been done be
yond this, we know not, but the scene wo have
detailed presents one of the most destructive
and desolate in appearance it is possible to con
ceive. Tlie whole shore is strewed with
wrecks of property. The amount destroyed it
is impossible to say.
We are informed that the Brandywine
Bridge has been destroyed, and tlie Railroad
i lias been much injured, both this side and be
yond Wilmington, by being inundated.
From the Pfxilad. Permsylmixian Jan. 28.
The destruction of property has been so
great that it is impossible to do more at pre
sent than to make a general notice of the ap
pearance of the scene of ruin. No calamity of
a similar extent probaably ever occurred be
fore in Philadelphia. Various rumors are in
circulation ns to the loss of lives, which wc
trust are unfounded, although there is a prob
ability that rnen may have perished in the
course of the night attempting to rescue their
boats. But nothing definite is known in rela
tion to this. It is said, however, that a boat
with three men was swept away.
Although the Delaware was much swelled
by the freshet, no damage, wc believe, was
done on that front of the city.
P. S. We have since learned that when the
freshet was at the highest, it stood seventeen
feet some inches above low water mnrk. The
eastern pier of the Railroad Bridge at Gary’s
Ferry is completely demolished. The destruc
tion is supposed to have been caused by the
lodging in the piers of the fragments of the
floating bridge, which for a time formed a
complete dam, and at length burst w ith irre
sistible fury, carrying nil before it. The
freshet seemed to come down tlie Schuylkill
all at once like an enormous wave, roaring
and boiling as it rushed apparently about ten
feet high over Fairmount Dam, the whirlpool
below shooting immense pieces of timber high
into the air, as if an army of giants were
amusing themselves with javelins.
We understand it to be the opinion of
two eminent lawyers, Horace Binney and
Walter Jones, of Washington city, that,
under the army regulations, and also by
repeated decisions of the Supremo Court
of the United States, Genera! Gratiot's
claims to allowances against the United
States, which have been refused at the
accounting oftices, arc well founded in
law and equity. The result of this, we
understand is, Gen. Gratiot is creditor
and not a debtor of the United States.
