In view of the revolutionary purpo
ses manifested by the Democratic party
—the defiant tone of Rebel leaders in
the South since the nomination of Sur-
Amoy Ann BLAlR—and the declared
purpose of the President to ignore the
new State Governments in the South:
—the Republicans in Congress did not
deem it prudent to adjourn sine die,
but determined upon a recess until the
21st of September. Accordingly on
Monday last both Houses adjourned
until that date, with the understand
ing among the Republicans that it
shall not be incumbent upon the Re
publican members to attend unless
they shall be notified that their attend
ance Is necessary by Hon. Edwin. D.
Morgan, Chairman of the Union Re
publican Congressional Committee on
the part of the Senate, and Hon. Rob
ert C: Schenck, Chairman of said com
mittee on the part of the House.
This action will go far to restrain the
President and put him on good behav
ior. Should he mattfest a - purpose to
nullify the laws and endanger the pub
lic peace, Congress will meet in Sep
tember, and promptly impeach and
remove him ; otherwise, the members
will not meet until the regular Decem
ber session.

GEN. SHERIDAN ON GRANT.
Glorious PBiL SHEnuurr—whose
brilliant War record in the Shenandoah
Valley and in the final smash-up of
the Rebellion around Richmond, elec
trified the country, and whose subse
quent no less brilliant civic career in
dealing with defiant Rebels in Louisi
ana and Texas won for him the hom
age of the loyal men of the nation—in
a recent private letter to a friend thus
writes :
"It is, perhaps, needless for me to tell
you how light my heart is on account of
the glorious record in front of which Gen.
Grant now stands before the country. The
country now begins to appreciate that his
was the only hand which patted me on the
shoulder and gave me encouragement, when
I, almost alone, stuck up my little battle
flag at New Orleans to assist a second time
in saving the country and preserving , the
record of our soldiers. Had Grant, her
man and myself and others gone over to
the enemy, much darkness would have
come upon the land. Two solutions were
necessary for the settlement of the rebel
lion. The first was to take away from it its
military strength. That was done at Ap
pomattox. The second, to take away its
political strength. That will be done next
November. It will be a short campaign,
but as decisive as Appomattox."
THE Copperheads have begun their
usual game of brag—the same game
they played in 1860 and 1864, to stimu
late the courage of the rank and file.—
They are just now publishing tables of
the electoral votes, figuring up a ma
jority for the Confederate nominees by
including States which never did and
never will endorse a Rebel platform.—
The Cincinnati Enquirer has been try
its hand at this nice little game of elect
ing its candidates on paper. ' The New
York Tribune, after knocking the En
quirer's table into pi, adds the follow
ing clincher:
We can't help askinz The F.na'•f.--'-
attention in . tifti..circumstance which it
seems to have overlooked. A gentleman
well known to us, after looking on at the
late Democratic National Convention, left
$lO,OOO at the st. Nicholas Hotel to bet on
Grant and Colfax, as we mentioned ten days
ago. And George Wilkes, in his Spirit,
remarked that he had $5,000 or over to bet
on the same side. We haven't yet heard of
any one going after either of those amounts.
If this implies that the Democratic black
legs have all repented, burnt their sweat
cloths, and joined the Church, we are
heartily glad of it, and faintly hope that
their change of heart is permanent. We
are afraid, however, that it wouldn't stand
the strain of a decided Democratic victory
in the October elections."
SEMMES has "turned up." He fig
ured at a' "Democratic" ratification
meeting at Mobile on the 13th. He in
sists on the purity of his Democracy :
"I have been a Democrat all my life—be
fore the war, during the war, and since the
war—and foug/41 the war on the princi
ples of Democracy, believing that the
grand old Constitution which embodied
these principles was about to be destroyed.
I drew my sword against the old flag; the
old flag which no longer represented these
principles ; it was pot the flag of 177.6
against which I drew my swore', but the
flag which had become 'a flaunting lie,' so
called by prominent politicians of the North.
But now, in spite of the efforts of these, , ,
politicians who endeavored to strangle the
old Democratic party, by erecting in its
stead a new Conservative party—a sort of
conglomerated party—which was to com
promise politicians of every shade of opin
ion, the grand old Democratic party has
arisen from Ihe long slumber from which It
had indulged, and now gives signs of net'
life and vitality, and I have come here to- I
night from lhe country to ratify and rejoice
with you in the nomination pf Seymour
and Blair."
He is against all "Conservsitive ideas"
and is a straight-out Rebel, sailing like
thousand of others under the "Demo
cratic" flag.
PLEASANT LITERATURE
A Democratic paper makes the fol
lowing allusion to John Wilkes Booth,
which we reprint for the purpose of
showing the spirit that already actuates
copperhead leaders:
"John Wilkes Booth, a young man of
generous impulses, fine attainments, manly
sentiments, and noble aspirations, 'whose
gentle manners won your heart,' stung to
the quick by the sight of his country's
wrongs and injuriek conceived the bold
idea of freeing that country from the iron
rule, and, in obedience to the promptings
of a patriotic heart, shot the foul usurper
dead."
THE Georgia Democrats have come
to the conclusion that a negro Is a
"man and a brother ;" and the Macon
Telegraph says that the Democrats
mean "that somewhere between four
fifth and nine -tenths of the Georgia
negroes shall vote with us, and by our
side, in this election ; and we mean in
this to do not the slightest violence to
the negro's inclination. He shall vote
as he chooses, and he shall vote for his
own best interests and happiness." •
WALLACE should take notice, before
issuing his next Address.
s THE Zanesville (Ohio) Gerinania,
the only German paper published there,
which has hitherto been Democratic,
repudiates the candidates nominated at
New York, and shows a. decided lean
ing toward - Gas/1T and Cox.wes. The
Peoria Demokrat, the principal organ
of the German Democrats of Illinois,
does not like the nomination of Say-
Wm and BLAIR.

It is comforting to know that the
Rebels do not "keep spite," but are
willing to forgive' the soldiers of the

Ableast, the country was so informed
at the New York' Convention, when
the Vice-Presidential nomination was
pending. Read the record otiwhat
occurred :
"Mr. Preston, of K.wtuckyilnade `it few
remarks, in which heiald this nomination_
was due to the West, d preettntetrOtuneral
Francis P. Blair, of t As itiliouth-,
ern soldier,' Who had, , • frcnn-fieneral
Blair in the war, he , ired to say that the
soldiers of the South extended their hands
to the soldiers of the North in a token of
amity and good will.
When South Carolina was called her
chairman rose and introduced Wade Hamp
ton to announce her response. He was re
ceived with uproarious applause.
Mr. Hampton said -the. &Adieu of the
South frankly, cheerhilly, cordially ruzcopt
ed the hand of amity extei: Bo d to them here
and he thought it due to idlers of the
North that they should Svc the second
place on the ticket, andhe therefore econd
ed the nomination of General Blair.—
[Cheers.]
As he took his scat Gen. McClernand
crossed the hall and took Hampton by the
hand amid vociferous applause.
Virginia seconded Blair in token of ac
ceptance of the proffer by Northern sol
diers of amity and good wilL
North Carolina, in order to show that she
had no prejudice against a soldier wito
fought gallantly for his own State during
the war, also seconded the nomination of
Blair.
When Tennessee was called, Mr. Nelson
introduced Gen. N. B. Forrest to cast the
vote. [Great cheering.]
Gen. Forrest rose and cast the vote for
Blair, and thanked the Convention for the
courtesy and kindness extended by its
members to the soldiers and sailors of the.
South.
Ashbel Smith, with a few remarks,
cast the vote of Texas for Blair."
It will be observed, that the Rebel
branch "ran" the Convention at this
point—BLAlß having promised to in
augurate another War for their benefit
if he was elated to office.
THADDEUS STEVEN'S is resisting with
all his power, a policy sought to be fast
ened upon the country, which he be
lieves to be unwarranted by law, and
essentially unjust. Those who know
him, know how his whole nature will
antagonize a proposition which thus
presents itself to his mind. In this,
he is assisted by some Republicans;
and resisted by others.
The Democrats affect to believe that
there is a possibility of Mr. STEVENS
abandoning the Republican Party
which he has done so much to create
and render powerful. Nothing can be
more absurd. Mr. STEVENS has .been
much misunderstood ; and is prepar
ing a letter in vindication of his views
on the gold question. While he lives,
he will be found vigorously warring
with the party which has always been
an obstacle in the path of progress,
and whose crimes and follies have been
the occasion of untold misery to the
people.
PRESIDENT JOIIIcSON on Tuesday is
sued an order changing the Southern
military districts. Gen. CAIsTRY is re
moved, the 2d and 3d districts, com
prising the States of North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Flori
da, being , consolidated under Gen.
MEADE, head-quarters at Atlanta,
Georgia. Gen. ROSSEAU has been as
signed to Louisiana and Arkansas.—
Gen. Grr.LEm takes charge of Missis
sippi, and Gen. REYNOLDS goes to
Texas. Gen. Cnoox goes to the Pacific
Coast to relieve Rosseau. The Presi
dent has hard work to fix up these de
partments to his liking, there being
few officers of the requisite grade will-
ing to.do the dirty work required of
them. ROSSRAU will do his best to
impede reconstruction, but he can
hardly do worse than Gen. BUCHANAN,
whom he succeeds.
THE GERMANS AND THE CAMPAIGN
The address of the German Grant
club in New Yard strikes the key-note
of the campaign when it declares the
/Witte one of order mo l‘onnfinva. z•ntura , rIT
war :
"Strip the kernel of the coverings in
which sophistry has disguised it, and
you will find the naked question to be
simply : Shall peace and prosperity
come to the Republic from the election
of Noyember next, or reaction and a
new eivil war?"
"BRICK" POMEROY charges tha
PENDLETON was beaten by money.—
He alleges in his paper that over $lOO,-
000 were paid by Wall st. bondholders
to buy up delegates against PENDLE
TON, and that some of this went to
Wisconsin delegates. Women and
wine, ho charges, were powerfully
combined by the New Yorkers, and
many of the brethren fell.
This is rather a tough story, bu
comes from high "Democratic" author
ty.
Am a recent Democratio meeting in
Kentucky—at which Bruce of the late
Rebel Congress, and Chilton of the late
Rebel Army were the
. chief speakers,
one transparency was carried with
this inscription : "Seymour and Jeff.
Davis, the nation's patriots." Anoth
er, "Give us back the negroes you have
stolen from us." - Jeff. Davis and Lee
were frequently shouted for, and the
shouters were cheered lustily.
MR. PEN DLETON Bald in his speech
at Grafton, the "democratic party in
every vicissitude of our'history has ap
peared to direct us with its wisdom and
to extricate us by its courage."
This was especially manifest in 1861,
when •BUCHANAN and the democracy
extricated the country from its perils
by proving to the people that there was
no legal or constitutional way of put
ting down Rebellion or saving the Na
tion.
HORATIO SEYMOUR in a public
speeoh in Albany, in 1861 denounced
"successful coercion , by the North as
only less revolutionary than successful
secession by the Smith !"
After the Confederate Constitution
was adopted, he pronounced it to be
preferable to the Federal Constitution ;
and insisted upon the people repudiat
ing the latter and accepting the form
er!
SECRETARY SENYA.RD has issued a
'proclanudion declaring the amendment
to the National Constitution known as
the 14th article, to be "valid, to all in
tents and purposes, as a part of the
Constitution of the United States,
more than three-fourths; of the States
of the United States" having approved
of the amendment.
GENERAL. E. W. Hnors, who is
commanding at Goldsboro', North Car
olina, writes to a friend in the North,
that if the Seymour and Blair be elect
ed a reign of injustice and terror will
speedily ensue. The only motive now
operating to prevent it, viz. fear of
hurting the election, win not then be
felt.

The Democrats have much to say
about the Public Debt, Taxation and
the reduction of the• burthena of the
publicans all all the doing, in that direc
tion. During the last seeskatt-, of Con
gress, taxes were lam*reduced s ; ex
penses were cut d Own ; and the tippro
•priations *are at least -millions
4198 amt. tiere_askeftfiir . ' by the Admin
istredOn;!.and, yet every necessary
biug is provided ` for. The saving is
in retrenehl4 Iti stekrikag „useless
things, anCeutting 6if inieelllese ex
penditures.
Just before adjournment, a Funding
bill was matured, which proposed to
call in the Five-Twenty Bonds, and
issue in their place Thirty and Forty
year bonds to an equal amount,' the in
terest to be 4k per cent. on the former,
and 4 per cent. on the latter, instead of
6 now paid, The adVantages the pres
ent bondholders were offered, were that
the principal and interest were secured
to be paid, when due, in gold, and to
be free from all tax except Income tax.
Another section of the bill deprived
the Secretary of the Treasury of his
present power to pay his pets in New
York large commissions for what the
Government officers in New York can
do as well.
•
The bill would , have saved that amount
of money, at all events; and if the
lean offered had been • taken, about
$40,000,000 a year would have been
saved in interest. In any event, no
harm could have come to the Govern
ment; and this legisiadon:was impor
tant as sharing a purpose on the part
of etingress to try to improve the•fl nen
cial condition of the country and save
the money of the people.
The bill passed the Senate without a
contest; but on Monday, the day of
adjournment, the Democrats "filibust
ered" at it as long as they could, and
voted against it; and JoirxsoN pock
eted the bill, neither signing it or re
turning it with his objections.
After this record, it's about time for
"Democrats" to quit blathering about
the Public Debt, their desire to dimin
ish expenditures, and to improve pub
lic credit. Let them first show their
faith by their works. Then, and not
before, - will their words be regarded.
REVOLUTION AND WAR
There is no mistaking the purpose of
the leaders of the Democratic Party.—
It is hardly concealed, and can readily
be observed in all their declarations and
movements. Br...un's letter clearly re-,
veals it, and he was nominated because
he wrote it. The Southern leaders sup
port the ticket heartily because BLAIR
is upon it, and his scheme of upturning
the reconstructed States is flatly avow
ed by them. WISE, TOOMBS, VANCE,
PRESTON, COBB, and that whole tribe,
are manifestly organizing the South
so as to be ready when the time fur
action shall come.
But this is not all. The threat is
made that URANT shall not be inaugu
rated, even if elected ! This is the
game of 1860 over again, where LIN
COLN had to pass through Baltimore in
a night train to escape planned assas
sination. Now, the threat is not mere
ly made by Rebel leaders, not merely
planned by Rebel conspirators, oath
bound in their fiendish schemes, but
it is in the Democratic National Plat
form itself, skilfully inserted in these
apparently harmless words :
It (the Radical party). has stripped the
President of his constitutional power of ap
pointment, even of his own Cabinet. tin
der its repeated assaults the pillars of the
Government are rocking on their base, and
should it succeed in November nest, and
inaugurate its .President, we will meet
as a subjected and conquered people, amid
the ruins of liberty and the scattered frag
ments of the Constitution,
We italicize the malicious words.—
They pre-suppose that a man may be
erected President, and may not be in•
augurated. The irresistible conclusion
is, that this - -- a_ vi.w
or an attempt to prevent the elected
President from being inaugurated.
Thee words were inserted in the
Platform, on the suggestion of Mr.
BAYARD of Delaware, as he himself de
clans; and in a recent speech he de
fines them as being "in accord in some
measure with the sentiments" of Gen.
ria teat BLAIR'S revolution
ary treason is endorsed in the Platform,
and was intentionally endorsed on the
motion of a U. S. Senator!
The people have no excuse for not
appreciating the devilishness of these
men.
AT a meeting of the Soldiers' and
Sailors' Union of Washington City,
held this week, it was stated that "nine
ty-four clerks bad been discharged from
the Quarterma.ster General's Office, of
whom eighty-one had been soldiers,
and of the eighty-four there were thir
ty-five who had lost limbs In the de
fence of their country or otherwise dis
abled. Gen. MILLER, who was at the
head of a bureau, had refused to give
one cent toward decorating Union sol
diers' graves, because the rebel dead
were not buried with them, and at the
present time ho has Ruder him two
men, named Scow and MCGRUDER,
who left Washington City, and fought
in the rebel army."
Should SEYMOUR be elected, the Reb
el influence will be hilly installed, and
it will be a mark of reproach to have
been in the Union army.
Tug Democracy of Connecticut have im
proved upon the example of their brethren
in Pennsylvania, and there is no foreseeing
now to what sublime heights of rascality the
Impudence of the party may not rise. In
Pennsylvania they contented themselves
with forging naturalization papers ; in Con
necticut they have learned the art of forging
laws. It seems that iu the Legislature of
the latter State they made strenuous efforts
to engraft upon a new registration bill
certain amendments which would practi
cally render it inoperative. They were de
feathd. The bill was passed without the
amendments and locked up in the office of
the Secretray of State over Sunday. On
Tuesday a clerk chanced to examine it, and
10! the amendments were all there. Some
body who must have known the ways of
the place had surreptitiously got access to
the bill, and very skillfully altered and
erased words in sucjs a manner as entirely
to change the sense of several sections.—
Here was a discovery in legislative tactics
which promised to be invaluable. If the
votes of a party are n•t strong enough to
nullify a law, they have only to get a set of
false keys some Saturday night and try acid.
Unfortunately for the Democracy, the little
fraud was detected in good season, and the
Legislature will .take prompt measures to
detect and punish the forgers.—.N. Y. Tri

A ranaunix case of poisoning occurred
at Pine Lake, Michigan, a few days since:
Mr. Thomas Cade came to town, and was
to get some corrosive sublimate to be used
upon a horse ; and his son, about sixteen
or seventeen years of age, wished him to
get some tartaric acid •to be used with soda
to form a drink. As soon as Mr. Cade got
home the son called for his aeid, and re
ceived the paper of poison through care
lessness. He mixed the drink, and several
young people drank of it, the young man
hinseif drinking considerable, from which
he died a very hard
_death on 7,vesday.--

The South has captured the - organization,
bag and baggage, and masserted its con
trol and regained its sacanderlCY over the
lElienroaralkt 'Party.- A rampant -of the
New York Convention can •but convince
every Impartial observer of this fact.
In the first place look at the character of
the delegate": The late. Confederate States
sent to rtesent them those who were con
spicuotet inaugurating alMessiort or ad
vanceti* diathtetioi unclog the "titan and

mers. ,
Upon the organization of the convention
the ex-Confederates secured Control of the
platform makers: From their own number
they placed upon the committee Gen. Wade
.thunpton,who refused, to surrender After
his superior, Joe Johnston, had surrendered
him ; Gen. William PreOton, tuCkY,
who had not so much of an excuse for trea
son as State secession ; Barksdale, rebel
Gen. of Mississippi ; T. S. Bocock, Speak
er of. the Virginia rebel House of Represen
tatives; and C. C. Langdon, who precipited
secession upon Alabama. The remainder
of the Committee consisted, with three or
four exceptions, of men who sympathized
with or aided the insurgents.
With such workmen the late Confederates
of course obtained a declaration of princi
ples in accordance with their wishes.—
Their delegates clapped their hands in glee
over its adoption, while Vallandigham
could hardly restrain hi: joy as he circu
lated about on the floor of the convention.
In exultingly proeloitning, 'on Wednesday,
whether, "Whether or not we shall have
Mr. Pendleton himself we at any rate have
got his platform," a Kentucky Confederate
journal merely gave expresicion to the views
of the late rebel South.
The South was next vict 'oils In the se
lection of candidates. The Northern rank
and file of the party were extremely desir
ous for the nomination of Chase, and many
of the Northern delegates shared-. in this
desire, prompted though it was by fear,—
But the Southern wing of the party again
asserted its supremacy, and under the skill
ful management of the Pendleton Yellen
digham manipulators, they floored Chase,
Hendricks, and Hancock, and placed Hora
tio Seymour upon the platform.
The Northern delegates desired that Han
cock, a soldier with an unsullied record,
should be placed second on the ticket, he
having been defeated for the first place.—
But the rebel General Preston, of - Kentucky,
arose and nominated Blair, the political
General who promises a fresh revolution in
case he attains to the Presidency, which
will restore the South to its former datus.
Hampton and Forrest seconded the nomina
tion. The North again yielded, and Blair
was foisted into the second place on the
ticket.
In view of these and other facts attend
ing the convention—in view of the spirit
and animus which revealed, themselves in
the body from begining to end, can there be
any doubt that the South• is indeed victori
ous in the political, if not military, arena,
and has once more asserted its control and
supremacy over Northern allies?
VIOLENT AND REVOLUTIONARY

The Democracy of Georgia held a State
Convention and a mass meeting at Atlanta
on the 23d, from a report of which in the
Cincinnati (la.:elle we extract as follows:
"The Rebel Democracy have, for one day
at least, re-taken Atlanta. Their delegate
State Convention assembled this morning,
and also their great mass meeting, the lat
ter of which was a highly successful affair.
The delegate Convention met at 10 A. M.
A committee was appointed to select per
manent officers. While they were. out, Col
onel J. B. Wpens was called on for a speech
who told them that the result of their suc
cess in the contest befo're them would be to
expel from Georgia the entire brood of
Northern vagrants, Northern rapscallions
and Northern paupers, and the Southern
miscreants now infesting - her. This senti
ment was received with the usual comple
ment of Rebel yells. The Committee on
DUISIUMS introduced a series of resolutions.

mow. wad .121.1.., s.c,
platforin of the New Tork Convention, be
cause that platform recognizes the old Dem
ocratic doctrine of the equality of the
States. A. J. Ramsey, of Columbus, made
a violent Rebel speech, declaring that in
the late war the South did nothing but
maintain their rights; that the Government
wrongfully made war upon her, and that
the very day the war commenced the Con
stitutiorr was overthrown. Mr. Clark made
a speech pledging himself, before God, to
fight to the last the new Governments that
had been set up in the South, and then the
Convention adjourned sine The MIIB3
meeting was assembled under the . artificial
grove of the public square. Five thousand
people were present. Bob Toombs, How- ,
ell Cobb and B. H. Hill, the three great
leaders of the Rebel Democracy, all made
speeches. Toombs took the broad ground
that all the action of the Government in
reference to the South for the last three
years was void and of no effect. Cobb fol
lowed in the same strain, and Hill poured
forth a torrerft of disloyal malignity and
blasphemy which will astonish and alarm
the country. The whole spirit of the
speeches was violent and revolutionary in
the extreme—Toombs alone making any
pretence to decency or moderation."
TILE DIRTIEST THING YET.
When Gen. Grant left Washin;ton to go
to the West, he was followed by a sneaking
spy in the employ of the New York World,
who wrote dirty letters of personal abuse
to that paper about the General's trip. One
of these, about the meanest of the lot, is now
going the rounds of the Copperhead press,
under the head of "Grant on his Farm."
The character of the fellow who was paid
to du this contemptible work is thus shown
up by the St. Louis Democrat
"The only fact which this hired sneak
really discovered during his journey, was
that three glasses of beer were actually
taken into the car which ' , General Grant and
theparty accompanylng occupied, but
whether the said beer was consumed by the
General or by others of the party, the smell
er could not positively state. The same
contemptible spy, after trailing around after
the General, when ho went to visit relations
in Ohio, and finding nothing bad to report,
was finally observed and accosted by
friend of the General, and the fellow admitt
ed that he was sent by the World to find
out what he could to the discredit of tle
General, but that he had orders to rep:it
nothing in his favor. During the war, this
same World made a great fuss because tie
Government employed detectives to track
men who were engaged in plotting treason,
and called it mean and dirty, and conternp6-
ble business. And yet this same pap&
sends a hired spy, after a man; not engagcp
in plotting treason, not dangerous to the
very life of the nation, but honored by tile
whole world as its foremost defender atil
champion—a man hired to drag the gutttis,
for miserable slanders against the fair nano
of the faithful soldier, and under onieni
report nothing in his favor I The partici*

GREAT FLOOD IN BALTIMORE
LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY
On Friday last Baltimore city was visited
by an unprecedented flood. The rain pour
ed down:in torrents from early in the morn
ing, andSbout midday the water in Jones's
Calls rose with great rapidity, soon over
flowing its walled banks, backing into nu
merous contiguous streets, and penetrating
dwellings,stores and innumerable basements,
creating great alarm, and damaging and
sweeping off property, carrying away
bridges, &c.
The' water rose suddenly nearly twenty
feet, and poured into the streets, at one
time covering a space of ground on the
west side of the falls, extending westwardly
to the intersection of Lexington and Cal
vert streets ; thence northerly to the Cal
vert station, the interior of which was con
verted into a large lake. 'On Holiday street
the water flowed from Monument to Balti
more street, thence running around the
corner of Holiday into Baltimore, flowed
into Gay, where the stream extended south
wardly to Lombard, and thence, by various
channels to the docks. On the cast side of
the falls the water extended along front and
Buren streets, overflowing the cellars, in
cluding the basement of St. - Vincent's Or
phan Asylum, but doing no other material
damage there. All communication between
the eastern and western sections of the city
was cut off for the time, except by the
Eager-street bridge, at a high point on the
north, it being too dangerous to attempt to
cross the torrent in boats.
The scene from the bridge at Eager street
when the water was at its greatest height
was very striking. Its yellow flood came
down with a turbulent roar like some moun
tain torrent, bringing in its headlong rush
fragments of bridges and buildings, uprooted
trees, drift wood, fences, sheds, outhouses,
oil tanks, barrels, merchandise, &e. As
soon as the rain slackened crowds of peo
ple flocked to the banks of the stream to
witness and view the scene of destruction.
In that part of the city which was formerly
the bed of the stream, many houses, shops,
&c., were inaccessible, and boats were
moving about in different streets to afford
relief.
The small wooden bridge at Charles-street
avenue was the first within the city limits
to give way, and sweeping down, with
other debris from above, passed under the
lofty Belvidere and Eager -street bridges,
the latter being a stone arch, and reaching
thence the iron bridge at Madison street,
struck it, causing that bridge to. give way,
and soon after the bridges at Monument, ;

A about one o'clock, city passenger car
No. 14, John Plummer, conductor, and
Wtn. Bloodgood, driver, in passing from
Gay street bridge, was caught by the flood
when opposite Garrison street. The body
was lifted by the force of the current from
the track, and carried rapidly down Harri
son street, until it reached the corner of
Fayette, where it lodged against the restau-
rant of Mr. John English. The driver
managed to loosen his team and the horses I
were saved. There was a lady and two
gentlemen in the car at the time ; the for-
mer was rescured by means of a rope
thrown to her as the car swept down the
street; the male passengers were rescued
by a lady in the house against which the
car lodged, she helping then out from the
second story window.
Notwithstanding the great height at
which the water had been, it subsided most-
ly before night, and Balimorc and Pratt
street bridges became passable. The pave
ments were found washed up in various
place's, and mud lay thick where the water
had been.
The loss of property, public and private,
including general damages within the area
of the flood, will probably amount to several
millions of dollars.
The loss of life, so far as ascertained, is
confined to four perecins. 'lad the flood
happened at night, as was the case at a for
mer great freshet in 1837, the destruction of
human life must have been largely increas
ed. On that occasion some twenty lives
were lost. It is conceded that the flood of
Friday was of greater extent than any
which has occurred in Jones' falls, not ex
cepting the on't of 18V remembered by

together with the mill bridge, the county

other buildings. About thirty houses were
swept away, some of them containing
whole families; who were carried with the
current and drowned. Among the lost are .
William Patterson, wife, and son ; Mrs.
Farren and her two children ; Fanny and
Emma Duval; Wm. Reese, wife, sou, and
daughter; the family of Dr. Owens, and
a number of others, names not given.
The number of lives lost at Ellicott's
City will exceed 30 or 40, and the loss of
property $1,000,000.
The storm extended to Frederick city,
the lower port of which was submerged,
involving a heavy loss of proderty. At

there was also a heavy freshet interfering
