(KkninsJJisjmfcj) AUGUSTA, GA: WcdnrHlaj' Evening, June 111, 1858. Flood In Baltimore. The Clipper of the 14th inst., says : *• Our city was visited on Saturday affer moon with a flood almost equal to that of the year 1837. The amount of prop erty destroyed on this occasion is be yond estimation. Jones' Falls, about five o'clock in the afternoon, presented a fearfully grand picture. The water rushed down with a roaring noise, which could be hear<^several squares from the Falls. The bridges spanning the stream were crowded by persons watching the various articles as they floated by. The rain commenced falling aboutsix o’cloch on Friday afternoon and continued without intermission until four o’clock, on Saturday afternoon. “The first streets overflowedjwere Hol iday and Saratoga streets; the water came from the sewers on the corners.— So rapidly did the water rise that the residents in the neighborhood were un able to remove any articles in their cel lars. In half an hour from the time that the water made its appearance, all of the streets mentioned below were •overed. About 150 gallons of oil was destroyed in the cellar of the middle dis trict station house. All of the streams near Baltimore were swollen to a great extent, and the loss by the destruction of bridges will be immense. “The principal sufferers in the city, were those persons who resided and done business on Harrison and Saratoga Sts., and the east side of Centre Market space. There were reports of about twenty persons having been drowned.— We were unable to get the names of all, and the supposition is, that the number has been greatly exaggerated.” Fire In Montgomery. A fire broke out early Monday morn ing on Court street, Montgomery, in a small wooden building near the artesian basin. The stores of Messrs. Lorn and Staoi, and the boot and shoe shops of Messrs. Eberrant and Boixr— all wood en houses—were burnt, and some damage was done to the “Tennessee Bar-room” and other adjoining build ings. The street was filled with goods ; but, though the fire had not been en tirely subdued, its progress was regard ed as arrested. Case of Conscience. We see published in the Savannah Republican, a letter from Rev. J. F. O'- Neill, enclosing to the Hon. John P. King, President of the Georgia Rail Road & Banking Company in this city, one hundred dollars, which was reciev «d by the Rev. gentleman in the con fessional. The amount has been duly re ceived, and an acknowledgment for warded. Such cases as the above arc of rare occurrence theso days. Gold Product ot California and Australia. The total product of California up to the Ist January,was $338,712,407,and o( Australia $269,697,750. This gives a total of over $600,000,000 added to the gold in circulation in the last seven years. The product of 1857, in California, was $68,976,207, a slight increase of about SIOO,OOO over 1856, but less by $6,300,000 than the most productive year, 1853. The product of Australia, in 1857, was $49,673,820,a falling off from 1856, which was the most productive year, of $3,200,000. Slaves Hiring their Own Time. The Comptroller General of the State, writes a letter to tbeßeceiverof Tax Re turns of Clay county, that where any slave is permitted to hire his, her, or their own time, it is his duty to inquire into the case, and if the evidence be sat isfactory, that the owner or hirer has permitted his slave to hire his or her time, shall make a return of said slave, and the slave shall be bound for the tax of one hundred dollars, and can be sold to pay it, if the owner or hirer fails to do so. The Longest Straight Stretch. The longest straight stretch of road in the South is on the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Rail Road, where for seventy-eight miles the line is perfectly straight. — HP” It is expected that the Lemon case, involving the right to hold slaves in transitu, will be taken up for trial in New York during the term of the Court of Appeals now in session. Charles O’Conner, Esq., is counsel for the owner of the slaves, and J. Blunt and Judge Culver on the other side. Senator Hale Re-elected. —The elec tion fortJ. S. Senator in New Hamp shire, resulted in the re-election of Sena tor Hale by a vote or 185 against 111 for Hon. John S. Wells, the candidate of the Democratic party. There were seven scattering votes. fff Governor Harris, of Tennessee, offers a reward of SSOO for the arrest of Dr. N. Burton, late Secretary of State, and a defaulter to the amount of $30,- 000. Steamers. The steamship Angusta arrived at New York, at 4 o’clock Tuesday morn ing. The Huntsville arrived at 2a. m. J Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.'] Gwinnett County, June 14, 1858. Editor Dispatch :—The weather for the past few days has been quite showery, making the little corn and cotton grow • finely. Corn is very small and late for the middle of June, being some three weeks later than usual. A good stand on the bottoms was hard to obtain early t in the spring, the bugs and cud-worms , killing it when coming up. In several . instances whole fields were plowed up and planted over. The stand of cotton is excellent, and I believe it is as for ward as usual at this season. Oats generally are like the little ne , gro said—“come up dis time wid de head on." They were too far spent for : the late rains to stretch them high en . ough to cut. l Wheat hajjfesting is now in full blast 1 with us. Our best fanners say the pres l. ent will not average much over a half crop ; though that, with the old crop - on hand, will more than suffice for our r home demand. Why it is that some of our large ; wheat-growers have not made the ex - periment with some of those Wheat - Harvesters on our smooth river bot : toms is more than I can tell. They cer- I tainly would soon pay for themselves, i besides the time and the great amount s of hard labor saved. Hirelings being - always scarce at this season of the year, 5 and demanding high wages, there's no t doubt but one of these Harvesters i would pay a better dividend at the end of the year, than SSOO stock in the Air Line Railroad. i We are blessed with these—as our school-teacher calls them —itinerant threshers, and why not the great deside ratum, the harvester, too. Grain is much cheaper in this county this spring than it has been for several years. Corn can be bought by the quantity at 35 to 40 cents per bushel.— Old wheat can be had at from 60 to 70 cents, and probably lower when new wheat comes into market, which will be some three or four weeks. A lot of 500 bushels of wheat, a little damaged, was sold up the river last week at 50 cents per bushel. The Lawrenceville Manufacturing Company has changed its name to the “Gwinnett Manufacturing Company.” Milton ville, the county seat of Milton i county, must be a fast village. The town lots were sold 'some six weeks since, for, I understand, more than it will require to build a brick Court House and Jail. The first Superior 1 Court set last Monday and adjourned ' on Wednesday morning for the want of good accommodations. In the place are two nine-pin alleys, and six grog-shops. A bad beginning for a new city. Yours, &c., Buck Horn. The Upper Rivers. The Memphis Bulletin, of the 13th inst. j says: “Our telegraphic reports intensify the painful apprehensions of a still higher rise of the river. The prospect is appalling for our friends below. Their only salvation is in vigilance, and in timely strengthening the levees where they are weak. They have not a mo ment to lose. “The Mississippi continues to rise at this point, and is now several inches above any former recorded rise. By dispatches from above published in our telegraph column, it will be seen that another terrible flood is coming out of the upper rivers, which will reach us before the present freshet subsides. We have not the least doubt but that much higher water than the present even will be seen before a permanent fall takes place.” Cincinnati, Friday, June 11.—The river is rising rapidly. Probability of a big flood. The track of the Ohio and! Mississippi Railroad, six miles west ofj here, washed away, and other roads! damaged. Louisville, Friday, June 11.—The river is rising, with nine feet on the falls. Louisville, Saturday, June 12.—The river is rising, with nine feet three inches on the falls. Rivers in Indiana and Ohio generally out of banks, and doing immense damage. Lafayette, Ind., Friday, June 11.--It has rained from Wednesday noon till Friday morning, aud the Wabash river rose with fearful rapidity. The inhabi tants in the river bottom wete obliged to escape from their homes in boats Toledo, Friday, June 11.—The Wa bash and Western Railroad bridge, and several culverts swept away, aud a bridge of the New Albany and Salem Railroad carried away, Wabash and Erie Canal badly damaged; impossible to use it again this summer. No trains or mails can leave for several days. Dayton, Ohio, Friday. June 11.— Miami river rising ; within four feet of! the great flood of 1847, and still rising! from three to four iuches per hour. The I whole country north of here flooded. Cart. Marcy Heard From.—A corres pondent of the New York Times, writing from Foit Bridger, s lys : “On the 25th April an express came from Capt. Mar cy and his command. He had been sue cessful in obtaining 1,000 mules an- 1 500 horses, all in good order. He was, at the time the express left, camped on Ist Cache de Poudre creek, some three hundred miles this side of Taos, and was awaiting the arrival of Col. Loring with , his regiment of mounted riflemen, who was on his way from Fort Union to join him. For Europe —Thos. Puryear, Esq., we understand, left our city yesterday, to attend the race 6in England. We . learn that his horse Charleston will run for the Goodwood cup, and that the ob ject of Mr. P’s. visit is to be present on the oocasion.— Columbia Guardian, 14tA. Bank Returns. Some of our Banks have, we learn, as 4 required by our State laws, made their returns, under the Governor’s late or~ . der, in conformity thereto. Others, it j is rumored, will decline to comply with r the act of the last Legislature, under the plea that they have not accepted of - the benefits of that law, and hence do I not intend to act under it. This course, ~ we would respectfully suggest to them, might, in the end, result to their injury, ’ and bring about a state of things they 1 little expect. They should recollect p that under the former act, requiring Bank returns to be made, it was provi -1 ded that where any of the Banks failed • to make their returns to the Governor when called upon, it was in that case made the duty of the Governor, by pro clamation, to refuse the bills of said e Bank or Banks for taxes and other public r dues. Now, should any of the Banks refuse to make their returns in accord ance with the act of the last Legisla ture, the Governor may not consider t the law complied with, and if this should ! be so, they can readily imagine the con • | sequences that may follow. Having f j heretofore sustained the Banks in their p! course, we throw out these hints, that r ! they may keep themselves in the right 1 and act advisedly. —Mtlledgeville Recorder, 14 th inst. ej The River. It was with perfect astonishment, that, 1 last evening, on accompanying Mr. Me ■-] Clain, of the wharfboat to the gradua . | ted mark by which the rise of the river 1 is observed, we found a rise of no less than three inches had taken place since 4 i the preceding evening. At the pres -5! ent stage of the water, such a rise is enormous. Imagine the miles and ’ miles of surface on each side of the riv -3 er along which the vast flood now ex -9 tends, having added to it the higlith of j three inches ; then imagine this three inches of water, instead of being spreacb r over so wide a space, being at once poured into the usual channel, when r the river is at its ordinary hight ; cal culate the number of feet it would raise the stream, then an idea may be formed -of the immense mass of water required to raise the surface three inches at the present time. —Memphis Appeal, 14 th inst. I Weather ami River. : The rain fell in torrents for an hour on Saturday afternoon, but it has since been pleasant. We hope the crops will have one week of growing weather be fore another rain. The river is at a stand, with ten feet ! vtaier.—Montgomery Mail, 1 1th ind. - A lady in Boston suggests a cure for i connubial infatuation. She proposes that young men and women be set up in housekeeping before they are allow ed to be engaged ; that the young wo man shall wash and mend, and dust, and that a new born infant be procured from the hospital, and that she have the charge of it in addition to the rest of her duties. She is of opinion that this process would “disenchant” the young couple. — A gentleman, wishing to be consider- j ed a perfect phvaseologist and gallant,! I had occasion to ask a lady one evening! to hand him the snuffers, and thus ad ■ dressed her: “ Will your ladyship, by an unmeri ted and undeserved condescension of \ you r infinite goodness, please to extend ’ to your most obsequious, devoted and very humble servant, that pair of igno pot exasperators, in order that the re fulgent brightness of that nocturnal lu minary may dazzle the vision of our | ocular optics more potently. Rain. We were favored, on Saturday morn ing, with a most glorious rain, which has saved the expense of sprinkling our streets for a few days, a work which had been jnst begun by the enterprising merchants on Broad street. This rain will give a new impetus to the growth of crops, which are now very promising, so far as we have heard, in all this sec tion. At the time we write (Saturday evening) the clouds betoken more rain before the weather breaks. We do not know that we need it particularly, but if it comes in moderation we do not know that it will do material damage.— Columbus Sun, 14/A inst. The Grain Crop.—A friend at Loo -1 ney’s Creek, in Marion county, closes a ■ business letter with the following in re gard to the crops : Our wheat crops are now ready for the scythe. Frost, rain and rust will cut short our wheat crop at least half. Our corn crops are late, owing to the trouble of the cut and bed worm.— Many have had to replant their corn two or three times before getting a J stand. We have something new in the way of rust in oats, it looks like briar ! rust; it seems to be extensive in this region, and where it strikes it, it won’t] make the seed. —Nashville Banner, 1 ‘lth j Heavy Rain—The fall of rain thus] far in the month of June has been un usually heavy. Yesterday it rained co piously through the entire day. The ] damage to the wheat crop will be im mense, without doubt. The accounts indicate that the rain has?6ecn very general throughout the country, and the returns from the wheat region gen erally agree that the crop will be very short—in some instances not worth bar vesting.— Nashville Banner , 12fAtn*f. Pine Rain.— p'or the first time, in. many weeks, on Friday last, this city j was blessed with an old fashioned rain —a rain, as our devil would say, that] took the starch out of the rooster’s tail. Wheat is harvested. Oats are ready for' cutting. Corn and cotton look well.— | P'rom present indications, this year will ] jbe one of plenty. Truly we ought to] j be grateful.— Federal Union, 15th inst. Sale of Stocks—mode at auction by- Messrs.
