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 tion for $17,050. The lion. Charles J. Colcock, late President of the Bank of the State of South Carolina, and formerly one of the Judges of the Court 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 March next. 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 BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. 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. [Alex. Gaz. REGISTER OF THE WEATHER Ba. in 2p. in.
