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. created a great stir and flutter, they spread terror and dismay along their track. But the scene is changed, and the Fenian inva sion has staggered to its fall- 8 > apparent wss the absurdity oil the late invasion, when viewed in the light ot & distinct plan, that it I had come to be regarded on all sides as a mere feint, designed to cover other and more important movements. But this, as time has shown, was more the suggestion of a chari table nnd excusatory spirit than a tact 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.

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 Selma, sent io Congress a remonstrance, signed by Union officers and soldiers now planting in that State, against the five cent cotton tax. Gen Gnrney urges that cotton cannot be raised with profit with the tax, and that it wil drive out the five thousand Northern emigrants how there, and prevent emigration, without which, the General thinks, the Southern States cannot be purged of disloyalty for there Gf-ih l.W, mfrided jury, at the Instigation of an ignorant jodn indicted, it la said, one of the most eminent Americana now living General John C.

Brsekta- ridge. There is scarcely one whose ‘-fnmm for good among them would be greater in these troublous times. His life has been devoted to his oountryTsnd of him thst gipffi lawyer and good man. Chief Justice 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.

The making of tho bank notes a legal tender for Government dues is alone enough to cover the whole question.

Tbe Late Affray at ThoBaivUle. 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. Capt. Richardson, in the coarse ot his duties as Bu reau Agent, having seen fit to punish a Mr. Lightfoot 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.

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.
