that the up-train could not iiasa. The pas»enger*

The Carolinian, of the same date, has the follow
ing:
The freshet, on Monday night, continued rising
nn'Hft rc.chcd to a point abt ut one and a half
inches higher than the May freshet of 1840. The
water has been gradually receding since yesterday
morning. We apprehend that the Greenville
. railroad baa sustained considerable damage, but
we have learned no particulars.
Since writing thi above we learn by rumor that
about seven hundred feet of the trestle-work on
the Orouriville Brad has been wa»hcd away, carry
ing with it fourieen cars, loaded with lumber,
which bad been placed on the trestle to keep it
from moving, we have no details of mishaps
above, as the communication is interrupted.
We find in the Columbia Timet and Carolinian
of yesterday, the following additional particulars
of the effects of the freshet:
The Fhxshet.—The most reliable information
receivodsii.ee yesterday’s issue, enables us to re
port more definitely the extent of the injuries sus
tained by the Greenville and Columbia Railroad,
from the late freshet in Broad and Saluda rivers.
The road is slightly injured at the crossing of Salu
da by the displacement of one or two bents of the
trestling leading to the bridge • the damage at this
point is very slight, and will be soon repaired.
From Saluda to Cedar Creek, eighteen miles above
this town, the road lias sustained no injury. The
bridge acrose this creek stands firm and secure; one
of the sbatmen'H leading to it has been partially
undermined. Between Cedar Creek and Colum
bia the road has sustained Itsgreatest injury. Hev
eralof the trestlea have boon washed down; the
one in Col. Bookter’s plantation presenting the
most serious obstacle to the re establishment of
the travel «f the road. We truatthatwe shall be
able, in a sow days, to report the complote restore
tfon of the road.
The passenger train on the South CarolinaEoad,
which left hereon yesterday morn’ng, for Charles
ton, returned with all on board ; the flood in tho
Congaroe being so high as to prevent their transfer
to the train below. Communication with the sea
board will be opened immediately, no doubt, after
thesubsidunce of the waters.
South Cmomma Boad,—Tho injury to this road
by tho freshet is betwoim the Camden branch and
the trestle work over the Congaree Swamp. Tho
passengers on the up train cronsed the river yes
lereay in bouts. The train will leave the dopot at
this place at 6 o’clock this morning instead of 7 V
o’clock, in order to connect with the up train for
Hamburg at Branch villo.
A portion of the trcstling over the Watereo is
gone, and travel over the Wilmington and Man
ohes'er road is obstructed.
The Railroads. —The mails from Greonvillc ar
rived last evening. We understand that four
breaks have taken place in the road, but are not
so serious as was apprehended. Fortunately, we
understand, engines uro so stutio led on the road
that u connection can atill be made, though wi'h
some delay. Tho miiila by tbia road will leave this
morning, and it is thought will get through within
(lie day. It is hoped that the trains will bo ablo to
resume their regular trips within a woek or ten
sone of tho biidgoson tho road are lit all injur
ed, and tho whole damage will not reqairu an ex
penditure of over slsoi. Mr. I’crrin, the Presi
dent of tho roa.l, came down from Abbeville yea
tor.'uy, from whom we loam those facts.
The northern mails by the Wilmington and
Manchester railroad did not arrive yesterday, as
the trestle work at tho Watereo swamp is snbmerg
od, We learn that the Watereo river, on last if
ternoou, win within s'yt inches of tno freshet of
and rising at tho rate of four inohes an hour.

llkaw Freshet.— From the heavy ruins of Satur
day evening and night, our rivor commenced ris
ing rapidly on Sunday, and continued to rise until
Tuesday, mid we have now the largest freshet over
known in our river. The low lands on both sides
are entirely submerged, and us fur us we cun aseer
tainfull the embankments have given way, and no
doubt, from Ibo suddenness and rapidity of the
riso, immense damage will bosustamod by the plan
to rs-in tho to. sos stock, Ao. We understand that
on the ptantaiion of Mrs. llulo, the Overseer’s
house, with nil his furniture, tho smoko houso,
corn linn o, fodder house, and throo or four nogro
houses have been swept oil', anil fours uro ontortain
od that a uogro has been drowned. Tho larnily of '
the Overseer, and nil tho nogroos hid boon remov
ed, ex optthroo or four whose houses were suposod
to bo beynnl the rcucli of the water; but ono of
those e iunot he scon tliismoining, und ia supposed
to he gone. Measures have been taken to afford
assistance to those who remain, and in a few hours
they will bo removed to a piano of safety.
Hinoe putting our paper to press wo learn that
the dsmugo at Mrs. lisle’s plantation is not as ex
tensive as at first reported. The negroes are all
sufe, ns nro also Die corn nml foddor housos. Tho
loss of the overseer will ho serious, as all his fur

Tho Greenville Road is injured boro and there

Kome, for tho last few days, has been “half seas

' To the Ladies or Richmond County :
Have yon read what has been done by Savan
nah I In one day, twelve hundred dollars has been
subscribed ’. and what have we done) A little over
five hnndred dollars on the paper, and three hun
dred of that, the gift of one noble-hearted, open
banded woman ; honor to her while living, end
when she “ falleth to sleep” may her memory be
embalmed in the heart of every patriot. Two
hundred dollars, In three weeks, for Augusta and
ita vicinity! 1! But it may be that you may turn
the tables, and aak “ t there were we to subscribe !
they did things more in order in Bavannah; there
was a meeting, end there were addresses, and the
ladies all knew of the movement.” And thie is
true; many here say “we have heard nothing of
it.” Wonder not at this, ye who live in other
places. Augusta ia a bueieuet place — papers are
left at stores, at ware-houses, and at offices, and
there they are very apt to remain; but it surely
would be right, as this “ movement” of the ladies
is to remove the badge of infamy from the escutch
eon of America—to efface the burning brand of
shame from the forehead of her children —the in
famy of ingratitude shown by tho eons of this fair
land to her Father—the Bhame of neglect of the
burial place of the mighty Head, who gave us a
“local habitation,” and a “ name among nations."
As this is the object of this association, and aa we
all expect to do it from our own purse, the allow
ance for drees or hooee-keeping, or our pleasures,
it surely was the bounden duty of every man to
take the papers containing the addresses, to their
firesides, to let the females of their families see the
addresses written for them, not only that, but have
sent tho paper to the poor neighbor who could not
afford to lake it, tor patriotism sometimes burns
more brightly in the bosom of the widow and the
fatherless, who have to straggle for a maintenance,
than in the hearts of the rich, where the goods of
this world so fill each corner and crevice, that the
flame is choked, smothered, and disappears in
smoke. Our subscription list will testify to the
truth of thie assertion..
To give every woman and child an opportunity
of doing as theirheart may dictate—for we urge
none—give willingly, feeling it a privilege, or do
not give at all— knowing that your offering is an
RDworthy one and would desecrate the shrine at
which ’tis offered—we proffer the following:
On Monday, the 6th of March, there will be la
dies in attendance at the Masonic Hall from eleven
o’clock till two, to receive the subscriptions of the
children ; and to these, the rising hope of this
young republic, we would say—’’tis an investment
of your money that you will never regret. Any
sum, no matter how email, will be received—do
without your candy and yonr marbles—for the
little hoys, still under maternal influence, will wish
to do honor to their mother’s toaching—and lay
your sacrifice upon the altar raised to Washing
ton’s memory ; do not let patriotism vanish in .he
smoke of 22d of February and 4th of July poppers,
but give it a showing in bright half dollars and
quarters—or where you have no more, in the
shining dime.
The ladies will assemble on Tuesday, tha 7th,
to subscribe, and we may perhaps find some gentle
men who will take part in this movement, either by
making an appeal or by presenting donations—are
there Done? We do not ask any gentleman par
ticularly, but we would say where they wish to
give, their donation will be gladly welcomed.

Washington Correspondence.
Washinoton, March 8,1854.
How often and how truly is the remark foroed
from the lips of man that “ truth is stranger than
fiction ! ” But the fact is illustrated daily, and
among tho latest, and not the least striking illus
tration of the romark, is the now historic fact,
that a certain class of Statemen', living within the
bordora of the State of Georgia, who in 1850, and
sulmequently, ransacked every English Lexicon to
find terms of reproach sufficiently contemptuous
and virulent to express their feelings towards the
Compromise Acts of 1850, and those who voted
for and supported them as “ s final settlement in
principle and in substance” of the slavery question
between the North and the Sooth; who denounced
the acts as “ bills of surrender,” and their advo
cates as ''base submissionists,” and who now
plant themselves upon the very “bills,” or sets,
and clamorously insist that they shall be faithfully
maintained, observed and executed “in principle
and in substance ! ”
Allow mo to congratulate you and them upon
this miraculous and patriotic conversion—upon
the breaking of now light into the mindß of
those rod-hot patriots, who were ready to dissolve
the Union bnt a short time ago rather to
adhero to the Compromise of 1850. I cUrgratu
lato you upon the faot that quo ad hoc they have
now taken their stand npon the very ground upon
which stood tho true, unflinching principle and
peace-loving union Whigs and Democrats of Geor
gia in 1850, and ever since.
But it Beldom huppens that there is anything with
out a parallel; and strange as the abovo mentioned
faot truly is, its counterpart can easily be furnished.
It is to be found in the action of rabid abolitionists
iata at the North. For yean and years these fanat
ics never ceased to vlllify and tradnee Mr. Clay as the
“ infamous author of tho more infamous Missouri
Compromise.’’ They took as much pains to search
tho vocabulary of the English language to find
epithets of sufficient strength to express their
dotostatioa of the moasure and its author, (who
was not its author,) as the fiercest fire-eaters of
your State did in regard to the other Compromise
and its authors. But where are they now I stand
ing upon the Missouri Compromise, defending it
as a rampart and broast workforthe restrietionists
and impudently insisting npon Us being a sacred
compact, only loss, and scarcely lcs3 binding upon
the whole country than tho Constitution.
The two pictures are oxcollently matched, the
scenery is somewhat similar, tho lights and shades
correspond—and they should bo fVamed alike and
hung up togethor. They would both toaoh a lesson
of warning wisdom, which ho that runs might
read.
The instructions given by these denunciations of
those who voted for tho Compromise sots of 1860,
to the Sonators and Representatives of Georgia,
“ to vote for and support those principles, and
use all proper moans in their power for carrying
thorn out either bb applied to the government of
tho Territory of Nebraska, or in any other bill for
territorial government which may come before
them,” permit mo to say, were entirely superroga
tory. All that would liavo boen done, and was
in part done without the spur of instruction.
Messrs. Dawson, Toombs and Stephens, needed
nothing of this sort to quickou their patriotism or
zeal, especially from those by whom they have
heretofore been denounced and calumniated for
doing tho vory thing they are now instructed
to do.
But who aro sorao of these instructors f Tho
wairn, devoted frionds of the administration of
Gen. l’ierco—that Administration whioh has lent
Us whole power and patronage to the laudable
purpose of building up, reconstructing tbe free
soil party of the North, and animating its dead
and almost rotten carcase—breathing into it the
broath of life, through the conduits of publio
patronage I Why have not these instructors
instructed the President, who is also a publio
servant? Why do they not tell him to do his
duty aud not only sign the Nebraska and Kansas
bill, when passed, but withdraw his countenance
from all such of his friends and party as set their
faces against it? Is not this more necessary than
to instruct the Whigs in Congress from Georgia to
do thoir duty ? The President pretends, to be sure,
to bo in favor of tho bill, bat what says his per
sonal and confidential organ, tho New Hampshire
Patriot ? •
“Tint Abolition organ, with its usual mendacity,
aays the Patriot, proclaims the Nebraska question
to be Ms issue in our election. A more deliberate
li« waa never uttered. Wo havo proclaimed no
•uch thing, but exjctly the contrary. We have de
e.ared that it bos and should have nothing to do
with our eleotiou.” Think son the N.H. Patriot
would thus repudiate the Nebraska bill, if Gen.
Piorcc and his piebald administration were really
in good earnest for it 1 Think you that several of
the President’s most intimate anl confidential
friends both in and out of Congress, and asveral
members from New Hampshire, among them
would come out warmly and decidedly against the
bill if he A onestly and at Heart desired its passage.
No, never. And yet l understand one of his very
intimato friends, a member from New Hamshire,
will speak in the House against the bill, as he does
out of it every day.
What will your fire-eating Legislature say to
this f They voted unanimously in favor of the
resolution, declaring any party organization hostile
to the interests of the South which should recog
nize as component parts of it any person or per
sons opposed to the principle of the Nebraska bill-
Are they still willing to give a vote of confident e
to Mr. Pieree, and their allegiance to that party of
which he is the head, who opeDly declare that
opposition to the Nebraska bill is no objection to
party affiliation 1 In other words, that a Northern
Freesoiler, though in open hostility to the Nebras
ka bill can, and shall be recognised as as good a
Democrat as any ot his or their Southern shies
who may favor it 1
Mr. Clayton spoke in the Senate yesterday and
the day previous, upon the all-absorbing subject,
as Senator Butßr and Mr. Hunter had previously,
but since my last letter. Mr. H. and Mr. B. were,
of course, in favor of the bill, and Mr. Clayton
had been reckoned among its friends, though in
the course of his speech he said he could not vote
for it in its present shape, and should therefore
propose amendments. One of his amendments
was, last evening, agreed to, which was to restrict
the right of suffrage in the said Territories, aud of
holding offices, to citizens of the United States, the
bill as reported giving the right of suffrage to ell
•uch foreigners as had simply declared their inten
tion to become citizens.
Alter a protracted occasion, during which some
warm sparring occurred between seveiai Senators,
the bill waa ordered to be engrossed for a third
reading by a vote of 29 to 18—a very thin Senate.
The reason of this was, that several Senators were
out of the city ; Mr. Toombs was too ill to be in
bis seat, and a number had gone home under the
impression that the vote would not be taken.
Mr. Bell addressed the Senate for more than
three hews to day, generally in opposition to the
bill. One objection, and the main point urged by
him waa, that the bill conflicted with the treaties
with the Indians, who had in former yean been
induced to sell their lands east of the Mississippi,
and accept of lands in these territories upon the
express pledge of the government, that they should
never be molested there nor the bounds of any
territory extended over them.
He read the “professed philanthropist*” In file
Benata a lecture for manifesting so much sympathy
for the African race, while the condition of the
red man had never apparently entered their
thoughts. They had talked much of bad faith,
but where was the protest they had entered
against bad faith towards the Indians )
The Gardner trial has been brought to a close
with a tragedy. The Doctor was found guilty, and
upon being sentenced to-day to ten years hard
labor in the Penitentiary, took etricknine, and
died in two or three hours.
The Homestead Bill is occnpyiDg a large portion
of the time of the House; but for the details of
the proceedings there I must refer you to the city
papers.
It may be proper to state that Mr. Toombs has
been oonfined to his bed for a week past by a
catarrhal fever, from which he is now in a measure
relieved. Tbia will account for bia name not ap
pearing in the proceedings of the Senate during
that time. Odlethobpx.-
For the Chronicle d- Sentinel.
lo Triumphs I
Let loudest pseana of praise be sung to the
greatest living tragic Actress, Miss Eliza Loo an.
Miss Logan’s last week in Savannah, has been
one continued scene of uninterrupted triumph.
She came, as was announced in the Bills of the
day, simply in fulfilment of a promise made when
last here, to return and play for the manager’s
benefit, whenever called upon; but at the earnest
solicitation of her many friends—and that, we
safely say, includes all Savannah—she kindly con
sented to remain and finish the week with us—and
right glad are we that she did so; for honest
fears were entertained by many of her warmest
and most sincere admirers, that her return was
premature, and that she would not be sustained.
But we had nosuch fears; and the result has shown,
that Miss Logan was not indebted to a new,
though deeply interesting faco— that magnet which
too often alone draws tho crowd—for the popular
feeling and enthusiasm which she had previously
awakened in Savannah; but to the force of her
own inborn and transcendant genius, alone.
Such is her unrivalled power—so just her concep
tion of character—with such truthful reality does
she render all her parts, and withal so easy and un
constrained are all her readings—so impassioned
and fervid her eloquence so naive—to fresh a'nd so
artless her manner, that ere she has gone through
one scene, she carries hor audience irresistably
with her.
It is easily seen, too, that Miss Logan is no
oopyist, but that she has had independence
enough to leave the beaten track of her contem
poraries ucd predecessors, and to strike out for
herself; to abandon all that stage manner and
trickery, which is so peculiarly objectionable to a
refined audience, and appear before them a true
and warm-hearted woman—lovii.g tar profession,
aspiriDg to its highest honors, and determining to
win them, without any of those factitious aids too
common with those of her profession.
Daring the week, Mass Logan has appeared as
“Ion,” (beautiful, rich, classic Ion,) “Pauline,”
“Mrs. Haller,” “Bianca,” and “Parthenia” in Mrs.
Lovell’s play of Ingomar. Os the first four it is
unnecessary to say more, than, that in the repro
duction, Miss Logan presented beauties which we
had never seen before. Os Ingomar, howover, we
must-lake some notice, for the character of Par
thenia is peculiarly adapted to her playful,
guileless, and loving disposition.
The sweetness and gentleness with which she
tames and subdues the barbarian chieltain, Ingo
mar, (who declaros that “were he a God, and had
the world to make, he’d make no women,”) and
leads him by gentlo dalliance to leave his wild
fastnesses and still wilder companions, and for her
sako to enter the abodes of civilization ; and when
his rough, but noble nature rebels at the proposi
tion to betray into the hand , of the Greeks, his

Some Fact* About Kusbla. —One train, and one
only, travels daily betwoen St. Petersburg and
Moscow. All schools in Russia are rigidly pro
hibited, except in a few large towns. All foreign
goods are dc jiod tho right of transit through the
lusaian dom’nions. According to Mr. Oliphant,
the most serious impediment to the successful
prosecution cf commercial enterprises in Russia is
the utter “in.possibility of finding employes upor
who.e hone ty any reliance can be placed.”
Twenty thousand men die annually fighting in the
Caucasus ; and of those by far the greater number
fall victims to disease and starvation—the conse
qonce of the capacity of their commanding offi
cers, who trade in the commissariat so extensively
that they speedily acquire large fortui )8. Some
little time ago the large landed proprietors in the
neighborhood of Odessa turned their atton on to
the cultivation of beet root, and to tho extinction
of sugar fro n it. Experiments went on to a con
siderable extent, but the cultivation proved a fail
ure. At this critical momeut the father of his peo
ple interposed, and prohibited the salo of any
Bugar but that extracted from beet by the arißto
cratio experimentalists. Tbe word went forth,
and the inhabitants were compelled to buy sugar
100 per cent, dearer than British colonial sugar
could be imported into the country.

no registry stamp aud lacks the signature of the

There is at present, in the Washington Orphan

sole companion, a daughter, five years of age, was
placed in the Orphan Asylnm, and has now been
sent for from England, by the sister of the mother.
It appears that they were very highly connected,

the State of Maine.
The private calender was then taken up.
Two bills were passed: and after other business,
the Nebrseka bill wss taken up.
Mr. Walker reported s bill extending the rights
of pre-emption to actual settlers. He said this bill
would probably take the place of the Homestead
bill, and it came nearer than any other measure to
securing homesteads te actual settlers.
Mr. Cooper, from the Committee on Indian Af
fairs, to whom certain charges againßt Alexander
Ramsey, late Superintendent of Indian Affairs in
Oregon, were referred, made a report thereon
unanimously acquitting Mr. Bamsey of all impro
priety of conduct. A resolution directing a aeltle
ment of Bamsey's accounts was adopted.
The Nebraska bill was taken up.
Mr. Douglas said that the friends of the bill sup
posed that all discussion proposed by its opponents
had taken place and had considered when would
be the proper time to vote upou it. They had ccme
to the conclusion to continue the debate till Tues
day. On Wednesday he would close the debate
and the Senate could vote on the bill.
Mr. Chase said as he had previously given notice
he had numerous amendments to offer. He would
at the proper time offer them but wotild not throw
obstacles in the way of getting the question.
Mr. Hunter then spoke at length in support of
the bill.
Without concluding, he gave way for a motion
to postpone, and after Executive session, the
Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
Mr. Washburn, of Illinois, introduced a bill
dividing that Bfate into two judicial districts. Re
ferred to the committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. Stratton presented resolutions of the Legis
lature of New Jersey, and Mr. Faulkner, resolu
tions of the Legislature of Virginia, asking for ad
ditional grants of land to soldiers of the war of
1812. Referred to the Military Committee.
Mr. Stanton, of Kentucky, made a unanimous
report from the committee on Elections, concluding
with a resolution that Jose Manuel Gallegos is en
titled to his seat as a delegate from New Mexioo,
over William Carr Lane, the contestant, the former
receiving a majority of 708 votes. Resolution
adopted.
A large number of Senate private bills were re
ferred, and Executive communications of no
especial public importance laid before the House.
Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, asked leave to offers reso
lotion instructing the Se'ect Committee appointed
to enquire into the expediency of amending the
constitution relative to the election of President
and Vioe President, further to inquire into the
expediency ol limiting the service of'the President
to one term, and making him thereafter ineligible.
Mr. Davis, of Indiana, objected.
Mr. Disney, from the Committee on Public
Lands, reported a bill confirmatory of certain
school sections, some States being now deprived
of a sixteenth section, to which they are entitled.
There aro sixteen or twenty cases pending, and the
object is to provide a remedy. - He moved the bill
be put on its pr -age.
Mr. Letcher opposed this course, and referred
to the fact that during the first session of the last
Congress, the Committee on Public Lands had by
insisting on putting bills on their passage directly
they were reported, damned up the business of
the House to the detriment of other committees.
He hoped the House would not now tolerate such
proceedings, and moved the bill be referred to the
Committee of the Wfco’e. •
Mr. Dean remarked that though the bill pro
posed to dispose of only two thousand acres of
laud, yet considering the former conduct of the
Committee on Public lands, the House should in
self defence refer the bill.
Mr. Disney, replying to Mr. Letcher, inquired
whether the attention to business by the Commit
tee on Public Lands waß so utterly violative of the
ruleß of the House, and so great a departure from
the gentleman’s own usage and practice, that ho
must object to reports made by that Committee
in obedience to the order of the House—was it the
contrast furnished by the Committee which treads
on the gentleman’s toes ? The gentleman from
New York, (Mr. Dean,) took up the song, and
reached the Btrain—he talked about no business
being done because the Committee had occupied
the attention of the House. What does the gen
tleman call business? Was it a discussion be
tween the Hurds and Bolts 1 The Committee on
Public Lands, aB heretofore, would continue to do
their business intelligently. The bill only relates
to fractional townships, and involves but two
thousand acres of land. If it shall not bo passed,
the costs of litigation will amount to more than
the land is worth.
Mr. Letcher said he took it for granted his at
tention to business on Committees and in the
House would compare favorably with that of the
gentleman.
Mr. Disney—l am glad to hear it.
Mr. Letcher reanmed—Look at the matter as it
was presented during the flft session of the last
Congress, and see whether the Committee on Pub
lic Lands are entitled to compliments. The House
weru engaged for months in considering matters
of this sort, and now as then, at the latter end of
February, are beginning to act on billß, directly
they are reported, without giving due time for de
liberation. Why should not tne reports of that
Committoo be referred ? Why should they be fa
vored? Where will this course end? Yesterday
the name gentleman reported a bill giving lands to
Wisconsin for railroad purposes. This lies over
until Tuosday. But this morning the gentleman
from Ohio brought forward a School land bill and
moved it be put on its passage; an hour has al
ready been spent on it, and moro time will be con
sumed to-morrow. The gentleman from Alabama,
Mr. Cobb, of the same committee, when the gen
tlemen from Ohio gets through, will come forward
with an aimful of Buch bills. [Laughter.]
Mr. Cobb remarked, by estimating the calendar,
it would be found that more bills from the com
mittee on Publio Lands have been referred to the
Committee of the Whole than-from any other com
mittee.
Mr. Letcher said the committee on Pnblio Lands
had no rights superior to those aocorded to other
standing committees.
Mr. Cobb observed he only spoke of bills refer
red.
Ur. Letcher replied that the members of the
committee on Public Lands, one after another, get
the floor and make their reports. He had recently
ascertained that there are one hundred and seven
applications for railroads on the docket. Suppose
one of these bills should be brought in every
morning, in the name of God when will the matter
end!
Mr. Henn said a great many of those applications
were for the same road. He had himself present
ed twenty for one road.
Mr. Loteher remarked that his friend from Ala
bama, Mr. C'obb, had acknowledged the corn to
five of those bills, now many other gentlemen
have he did not know.
Mr. Cobb. I have reported five, and have more
yet. [Laughter.]
Mr. Henn. I nave fourteen, but the Committee
on Public Lands have not granted one yet.
Mr. Letcher. Great God! is that not modest for
a young State like lowa ? [Laughter.] Forty
four independent railroads are before that Com
mittee.
Mr. Wentworth, of Illinois, Baid his State had
asked for none.
Mr. Letoher. She ought to ask for none, after
getting two and a half millions of acres of public
lands a year ago. [Laughter.] He had made these
remarks to show that it the House should tolerate
the course of the Committee on Public Lands, no
other committee could get a chance, and ought to
abandon the effort.
The Bill was referred to the Committoe of the
Whole.
Mr. Appleton presented tho resolutions of the
Massachusetts Legislature against the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise.
Mr. Hendricks. I move the House go into com
mittee on the private calendar.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee. I suggest that wo let
the Committco on Public Lands get through with
their re lorts first. They may got up another large
batch of bills before another week shall pass
[Laughter.]
Tho House went into Committee and considered
various private bills. That proposing to re-im
burse the Common Council of New York, for ex
penditures in fitting out the first regiment of New
York Mexican volunteers was read, when
Mr. Jonos, of Tenn., said he thought the princi
ple in the bill wrong, and wanted to discuss it.
As this was objection day the dissent of Mr. Jones
oaused it to go over. When the committee rose
the House passed fourteen private bills.
Mr. Churchwell announced the death of Robert
Armstrong, printer to the House, passing a high
eulogy on his character for honesty, bravery, and
virtue, and moved when the House adjourn it be
to Monday, to enable members to attend his fu
neral.
Messrs. Ewing and McMullen Bpoke in high
terms of the deceased.
Mr. Churchwell’s motion was agreed to and the
House adjourned.
Terrible Explosion and Frightful Loss or Life.
Hartford, March 2. —At 2 o’clock to-day the
new steam boiler in Fales A Gray’s car factory ex
ploded, destroying the blacksmith shop and en
gine room aDd badly shattering the main building.
Over 160 persons were in that part of the building.
Tho explosion was terrific, wreuchiDgthe powerful
machinery, breaking the timbers and prostrating
the walls and roof. The workmen were buried
beneath the ruins. The citizens were quickly on
the spot to rescue the sufferere, 9 of whom were
instantly killod, and seven have since died—many
others badly injured, some of whom will die. The
boiler was a new one of 50 horse power and built
in the best manner. Over 800 persons were em
ployed in the whole building, and those killed
were chiefly employed in the blacksmith shop.
The scene was heart-rending. Hundreds of the
wives and children of the workmen rushed to the
spot, venting their grief in tears and piteous cries.
The excitement spread to the school in the south
districts, attended by the children of the work
men, who were at once dismissed in consequence
oftheir distress. The victims were horribly mu
tilated, and in some instances scarcely recogniza
ble.
At 5 o’clock every one had been extricated fr6m
the ruins, and it is supposed that the wounded
will exceed 50.
A coroner’s jury was immediately summoned,
and proceeded to investigate the disaster. The
estimated loss of the building and machinery is
*BO,OOO.
Melancholy Cascauty.—lt is with much regret
that we record the death by drowning of Mr. Rich
ard Persse, a well known.citizen of Wetnmpka.
He had been water bound here from the freah
waiting for a boat to Wetumpka, for several days,
and unfortunately concluded on Friday morning
to attempt the bazardons experiment to reach the
Ferry atCasawda, and had near accomplished it,
when In attempting a slough which was swimming
from the backwater, he was swept from his buggy
and being unable to swim sank immediately. A
companion, who was with him, being a good swim
mer escaped with difficulty. His body has since
been recovered.
Mr. Persse was an Irishman by birth, and resi
ded in Wetnmpka for the last twenty years, enga
ged in mercantile business, and was jukly esteem
ed for bis high toned probity and his many excel
lent qualities of character. He lived through a
longlife nithout an enemy and had numerous
friends who will sincerely lament his lose.— Ala-

The Freshet. —From Passengers on the U. S.
M. steamer Florida, Capt. Wiley, arrived yester
day from Wilmington, we learn some additional
particulars of the late freshets. The Cape Fear
river had been considerably swollen, and was still
above its usual mark when the Florida lelt. Capt.
Bush, of the steamer Sun, arrived at Wilmington
on the sth instant from Fayetteville, reports a
freahettbat far up the river and its tributaries. It
was not thought, however, that much damage was
done, although reports had not been received from
points deemed liable.
The Great Pee Dee is reported to have risen to a
higher point than ever before recorded. It is
known that considerable damages have been sus
tained by planters along its banks, from the de
struction of dams, Ac.; many plantatioaa have
been thus rendered unfit for cultivation without
serious and expensive repair, and it was feared
also that fuller returns would show more losses,
in the way of bridges, dams, Ac.
Tbe Wilmington and Manchester Railroad es
caped most wonderfullyj its Ji nuked track, in
deed, is reported as uninjured, and the only loss
will be in some damage done to the work going on
at the Pee Doe—of no serious nature, however.—

LIVERPOOL, Feb. 14.—Thinking that it may be of in
terest to you to be kept advised of what is passing in our
political world, we hasten to inform you that after the de
parture of the Europa on Saturday, it transpired that the
Cambria and Niagara were positively taken up by Go
vernment, to convey troops to the Mediterranean. The
Alps, a screw steamer, is to take the place of the Niagara.
on the 18th, for your country, and possibly for a time the
mail service will be performed by screw steamers.
These circumstances make war appear to be determin
ed upon. Our market for Ootton was on Saturday firm.
Sales 8000 bales. From Manchester the accounts were
steady. The effects of such news remains to be seen.
