THE OVERFLOW AT ALEXANDRIA.
The captain of a steamer which arrived at
New Orleans a few days since, from Alexan
dria, has given some interesting particulars
of the overflow upon the Red River. He
states that, from Cotile, eighteen miles above
Alexandria, to the town itself, the whole
country is flooded. The levee in front of
Alexandria had given way in three places,
inundating nearly the whole of the town.
The rush of the water through the openings
was very great, the river being some fifteen
inches higher than the water in the town.
The water being three feet deep in the front
portion of the city, and five feet in the rear,
small boats found no difficulty, says the cap
tain, in navigating the streets, and there were
a number of them pulling about, engaged in
picking up plunder floating from the houses.
The captain sent his yawl around the city to
inquire if any one was in distress, but oould
hear of no one. He is of opinion, however,
that unless provisions be sent up, great dis
tress will be experienced, as almost everybody
lost their supplies of groceries. A consider
able number of the buildings fronting the
river have been carried away by the flood.
The morning the steamer left quite a number
of people could be seen breaking out of the
upper story windows of the houses, but they
all'appeared to be waiting patiently for the
subsidence of the waters, and made no signs
for assistance.
It is impossible to estimate the amount of
property lost, but the captain thinks it must
have been very great, as most of the goods
in the various warehouses were destroyed.
This is the first overflow in that section since
1849.

The Canadian press, exalting over the fail
ure of the expedition, characterizes it as
a miserable fiasco, which mast consign the
leaders, if not the entire Brotherhood, to the
lowest depths of infamy. They allege even
that Sweeny and Roberts allowed themselves
to be arrested, as the best way by which they
could abandon the movement and save them
selves from disgrace.
Some of the Canadians are very indignant
it the discharge of the Fenian prisoners at
Buffalo. They assert that the United States
have for two or three years past allowed the
Fenians openly to prepare for the invasion
of a neighboring country, and after its ac
complishment permit them to escape punish
ment without even the semblance of a trial.
They think it no iight matter to allow' “ad
venturers” to disturb the peace of a whole
nation and to imperil the lives and property
of its citizens—to invade its soil and intro
duce military law wherever the invading
force may penetrate—and then shield them
from responsibility without consulting the
authorities of the country thus outraged.

WAiantoroN, June 11—Hr. Shea, one of the ooun-
sel of Jefferson Davis, made a motion to-day before
Judge Underwood, in chambers, in order to test the
jurisdiction of the Courts in Virginia involving the
power to hold the prisoner to bail, it being a judicial
question with which the President has nothing to do.
Judge Underwood expressed the opinion, which has
always been insisted on by Chief Justice Chase, thst
so long as martial law or military surveillance was in-
forced in Virginia the Courts were a mere adjunrt.and
to be used in aid of of the military power.
Judge Underwood declines issuing a writ oi habeas
corpus to bring the prisoner before his oonrt, until he
has received from the President "a relinquishment of
the accusedto the oivil authorities. Hr. Davis being
now a prisoner of war, Judge Underwood reduced his
opinion to writing, which was delivered AO the Presi
dent by Mr. O'Connor. All action in the pemiaes is
suspended until further orders from the Government.
It is stated on authority of one of tho counsel, thst no
application for bail was made to Justice Chase or At
torney General Speed. Mr. Charles O'Connor and Ex-
Governor. Pratt were among those present in Judge
Underwood’s chambers to-day. Within the last few
days Mr. Davis’ friends, professional and otherwise,
have had free admission to him.
The passage of the .resolution by the House to-day-
declaring its opinion that Mr. Davis should be kept in
custody until his trial by law, was superindnoed by an
apprehension that he wonld be bailed. The rales for
the House were suspended for the purpose of passing
the resolution. I
Washinoton, June 11.—Gen.'A. L. Gurney, now of

and that it wil drive out the five thousand Northern

Taney, once Mid. " he never knew a purer public
man.” Those qualities of heart and aoul that excited
the admiration of, and caUed|forth that remark from
Judge Taney, are wed known to and And response in
Andrew Johnson. It is this fact which excites the
apprehension of the radicals, and renders them clamor
ous for his outlawry and exile. They well know
in John C. Breckinridge the President wonld flnd a
tost friend ana Arm supporter in the wise and states
manlike policy he is pursuing for the restoration at
the country..
Hr. Breckinridge had scarcely passed the age of
manhood when, as major of the famous First Ken
tucky cavalry, in response to the cell of his country,
he served with marked distinction on the bloody
field of Boons Vista. His conduct in battle. Us dar
ing bravery, is said by those who witnessed it to have
reminded them of the famous Paladins of old. As
an orator be scarce had a peer in the
Congress of the old United States. Those who
heard his .eulogy upon Mr- Clay, and his oration
npon leaving the old halls of Congress for tba new, will
long remember those flights of eloquence, blending
the chaste beauty of Cicero with Demosthenic strength,
that were poured forth with the ore rotunda that
marks the man who is born an orator. There was
that electrical sympathy between himself and hie au
dience that only such a one can produce. As a soldier,
there was that indescribable quality in him which all
great chieftains have possessed, and which ia so essen
tial to a successful warrior. There was something in
the very appearance of the man, as he rode into action
with the light of battle on his handsome face, which
inspired his troops with frantic enthusiasm and gave
the faint-hearted triple courage.
His noble and generous spirit, in which united the
bravery of a lion with the gentleness of a woman, we
feel sure never stirred up strife, nor entertained bit
ter, implacable teelings. During Christmas week, '60,
after Sooth Carolina had withdrawn from the Federal
Union, in bis room at the National Hotel, in tha city
of Washington, we heard him reply to a friend who
said ha hoped again to have the pleasure of voting for
him for President, ■' I trust in God we may once more
have the privilege of voting for President under a
united country." Remaining at Washington at his
►oet of Senator from Kentucky as long as there was a
lope of averting the internecine fratricidal war, when
hie efforts were useless before the storm of popular
fury, he east his lot with the cause he thought just
History will record his prowess and feats of arms.
In quiet and dignified retirement, in a secluded
village in Canada, this eminent soldier and statesman,
whose great heart beat with but one response at the
thought of his country and for her good,now awaits the
progress of events thst may restore him to his home
and kindred- To him we can quote sadly and feeling
ly that teaching ode of the Latin poet,
“Quts exsul a patria,” etc.,
and pray for his speedy return to his people.

applied for, and obtained from the Hayor and Aider-

No man can read the ordinance without seeing how
carefully the rights of the city are guarded. . The par

altered and amended by the Legislature; and those in

the charter so amended, and carry out the work

question, I refer to the advertisement in this morning’s

Thohasvhxu, Ga., June 8,1866.
Me. S. W. Mason—Sir: Onr usually quiet town
having been made the scene of an ngly affray yester
day evening, between a citizen of this place and Capt.
C. Richardson, late of the 12th Heine Volunteers, and
formerly Agent of the Freedmen’s Bureau here, which
I am led to understand might be misrepresented to
tbe disadvantage of onr quiet and order-loving com
munity, lam indnoed to sandy oar paper a statement
of the matter as it Cornea before me, for the informa
tion of all concerned.

severely, aa the resultof a trial of a casebetween Mr.
Lightfoot and certain of his hired treed hands. Hr.
Lightfoot asserted that he waa treated unjustly, and
uot allowed a fair trial, and vowed T»ageenn>j riinnlrt
ever Captain Richardson fell in Us power. To this
threat the citizens paid no attention, nor did they an
ticipate anything worse than talk, until Capt R. finally
returned hero, after being mustered out of service', to
reside and practice law. Mr. Lightfoot then armed
himself aud attempted to create a difficulty with Capt.
Richardson; but the town authorities getting wind of
his intentions, interposed, when Hr. L. escaped. This
waa about a week agb. Capt. R. Rid not-seem to con
sider himself in danger, at least ha made no effort to
have Mr. L. bound oyer to keep the peace. Yesterday

The President not Responsible for his
Pont innedEConfl nement.
Washington. June 10.—There are many rumors re.
specting the efforts making to effect the release of Jef
ferson Davis, but little is known as a certainty in fe-
ga rd to the matter. Horace Greeley, Augustus Schell,
aud Horace F. Clarke, ex-Congressmen of New Ycfk,
and other prominent persona are here with this ob
ject in view, aud one of the party has been in search
of Judge Underwood to aek bail for the prisoner, tt
is believed that the refusal of that personage io com
ply will eventuate in an appeal to Chier Justice Chase.
Ten gentlemen offer to become bohdamen for hia ap
pearance at the October term of the United States
Court-in Richmond.
Jefferson Davis ia held as a prisoner of war, and not
of State, aa heretofore supposed. A writ of habeas
coipus if granted would bring him under tha control
of the Court, in other words release him from military
custody. In this the Government would uot inter
fere, as it would then be a purely judicial matter,
leaving the Court to determine whether or not it
would release the prisoner on bail, without any inter,
position by, or consultation with the President. It
tqay be repeated that the President has nothing
whatever to do with the present question of bail, it
being confined to those who are now here seeking to
obtain that end, The radicals are fearful it will be
accomplished.
