SUNBUltY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKINToWNAL. From thaPottstwn Montomerr) l-edg-, TREMENDOUS ERESHKT. i Terrible tin ( tlfe, Bf Idfes ,h'f Pr,'HT Monday the 2d inst., be tucked in the loci history of "Schuylkill Valley,' eawie memorable for the greatest freshet that has -er occurred in the rier Schuylkill. The tain fell in this vicinity during Sunday night, and brought on the most rapid rise of water rver witnessed.- No one at first anticipated the terrible freshet,., but the continued rise Hi.d unexampled quantity of lumber, broken limber, hay stacks, household furniture, mill fearing, barrels, boats, great and sma'l, gave . vkience of a great flood in the river and its Hibutary atieams above us. At one o'clock it began to be evident that the bridge across ilia river at this place would, be swept from its piers.- At this time the water reached the weather boarding : and the huge timbers on the surface commenced their battering assault upon its frame work. At quarter before two o'clock, a massive wreck swept the western end of the old structure from the abutment mihI broke the bridge in two in the cen tre. The water still rising rapidly, the floa. ting timber began to bear heavily upon the remaining part. In half an hour thereafter, a large stack of hay came against it and jently bore it from the abutment and the pier, entire, and carried it majestically down the tide, after standing the weather, wind and water for twenty nine years. The scene at this time was intensely inter ring and distressing, while the wrecks of Donglasville, Birdsborough, three at Reading, Port Clinton and other bridges, were passing ilown the now unimpeded current, families r,i,tin!r alnncr the river, whose habitntions had never before been disturbed by freshets, were now being snnottnded with the angry waters, and the inmates compelled to secure their property by removing it from culler to sarret and leave in boats, to take lodgings for the night with more favored neighbors Farm houses, bnrns, stables, dwellings, along the course of the .stream from its head, to Pottstown, fortunately, were visited w ith the highest water during day-Tight, so that the advantages day afforded to protect properly and life was enjoyed. As a large fragment of one of the upper bridges passed this point a fine "porker" seemed lo be very contentedly promenndins upon the floor. Quite a large number of hogs were seen floating down the stream. At this place the water was eight feet high er than the July freshet, and about three feet higher than the great "pumpkin freshet" which occurred sixty-one years ago. The present now stands the highest freshet at this place, known to the living. We understand that one span, or half of the Pottstown bridge (which was swept be fore the large fragments of the upper bridge reached this point) remained almost entiie( and came endwise against the fine new bridge at Lawrenccville, 6 miles below this place, and passed through it, breaking the timbers of one span completely, but the roof, strange as it may seem remaining entire nd in its place. This bridge had only been completed but a year. At this time n part of the Koyer's Ford bridge was already swept off, thus clearing the river of bridges from thence to Potts Tille. A thrilling scene occurred at Donglassville. A family, not anticipating, like many others, so unusual a rise of water, remained in the house, which is of stone, until it was impossi ble for them to leave it. They were (seven in number,) finally driven from the second story to the garret, when their condition was perilous. Large rewards were o.'ired to any persons who would rescue them. Two sai lors ventured out in a boat, but were unsuc cessful, and narrowly escaped drowning. The house, however, was standing, when the water commenced subsiding, at 8 o'clock, and the family escaped. The Reading RailRoad company has lost several bridges. The Schuylkill Navigation company has undoubtedly sustained very heavy damage. We of course connot get particulars at time of going to press on Tues day morning. A large break in the embank ment occurred on Tower's low lands, 6 miles bolovr this borough, a few yards from were the break occurred at the late freshet in July. The Navigation Company have received a i,evere shock. The loss of property lo piivate citizens, in the aggregate, along the valley of the river, is immense, and to particularize would be impossible. The Brookes at Birds borough, it is rumored, have sustained very heavy loss again. FLOOD IN THE LEHIGH. All extra fiom the Carbon Democrat gives an account of the flood on the Lehigh, from which we make the following extract : It is admitted by all, that the current of water was greater than during the great flood of 1841. ' The Upper Section of the Lehigh Naviga. tion has suffered somewhat from Ihe washing away of Ihe embankments, but can be made navigable in the course of two weeks. The Lower Section has again been mate' rially injured, as Ihe recent breaks were not sufficiently strong to withstand a flood so un. expected and unparalleled. It is believed, however, that with the foroe the Company can at once place upon Ihe ca nal, that it can be made passable for boots in four weeks. The heaviest damage is between this place and Lockport. A portion of the Mauch Chunk dam, after having withstood the force of Ihe freshet gave way about 6 o'clock last evening. This dam has been constiucted at several dilTdrent periods, and it is believed that it has not been taken out to the bottom of the river, but only to the top of the first or original structure. All the other darns and locks, op both Upper and Lower Sections, are uninjured. We confidently hope lo tee tbe navigation repaired by the 10th of October, at furthest, which will still leave-about two Months of the season for boating Several of our lumbermen havauiTered . serious losses, a well as buisnes men loca ' ted along the Lehigh.' ' Nina fiaiMU on a single stream in- Cing wood township, Hunterdon county, N. J., the Loakatong, wera carried away by the flood on Monday.

The tickets for Jenny's first concert were sold on Saturday, and the first seat was bought by a distinguished hatter of New York for $225. The seats alterwards brought prices varying from $25 to $8, which realized the snuz sum ot $10,000. This leaves about five thousand tickets yet unsold, which will bring an average of four dollars each making the proceeds of the first concert amount to about $30,000, the largest re ceipts that have ever been made at any pub lic place of amusement on this continent.

The mortality in Sunbury, it will be seen 1 was 13 or a little over 1 per cent. At Milton, though not considered unhealthy it was 39 or nearly 2 per cent. JOHNC. CALIIOl N. A correspondent of the Journal of commerce says: had Mr. Calhoun lived he would ii i believed by many, have united with Mr. Cla in lavor ol a geneiai ami comprehensive Ucheme of adjustment. Among ihe fact which induce this opinion, is lhat he spok encouragingly io Mr. WeaTca as to hi I course, and thai, after Mr. Wcbstck made his speech, Mr. Calhovh spoke of it as preen lint a ground upon which an adiulinHi alcnnld be made.

I lion of thi fact, not roanv davs befor fa death, , Jn conversation with a friend, he re ed: ''the country oan now bear two sep- marke arate confederacies " He did not intend to bring about this sepa. ration by any violent meant. The object wai lo be approached by gradual and constitu tional steps. In fact, it it inferred and be lieved, that he had prepared a new Constitu tion for the United States, which we shall see in his Treatise. This Constitution was lo al low of two Executives, one to be chosen by the South and the other by Ihe Notth, and each to have a vote on the vote of the other; Iheir concurrence being requisite for any ac tion. : This system was, of course, to be tried till it failed, which would be pretty soon and then Ihe two seperate confederations would be already in part organized, and their boundaries would be already recognised and established.- , Such were the bold and erralio specula' tions in which Mr. Calhoun indulged, lie was bolder in speculation than in cotton, as the nullification affair showed when that mat ter was about to come to a collision of arms between South Carolina and General Jackson, and the latter had sworn lhat he would, if a drop of blood was spill, hang Calhoun, Hatnc and Hamilton, for" treason, Mr Calhoun, then in the Senate, manifested much anxiety lo ward off the shock. He himself first broach I the subject of a compromise to Mr. Clay The compromise of the Tariff was broucht forward by Mr. Clat, with Mr. Calhoun's assent, and was accompanied by the force ill. Mr. Calhoun was anxious lo have the Compromise bill passed, but did not wish to vole for it himself. Mr. Clav insisted, how ever, that Mr. Calhoun should vote for it, as condition, and the only one, upon which he would offer it. California News.

The news from the mines is somewhat discouraging. The rivers are yet too high to work advantage. ouslyanj the ravines have not dried up, Com. panies of miners are at woik turning the riv. ers throughout the gold region, and we may expect good reports from them in lhe course of another month. Claims on lhe Yuba river thirty feet square have been sold at two thousand dollars MURDERS AND DISTURBANCES. The troubles at the Southern mines, partic ularly in the neighboihood of Sonora, con tinue. The accounts of murders committed there are frightful and tbe end is not yet come The Mexicans and Chilians will be driven from the mines, and armed forces have been organized to carry this determination into ef. feet. At the Mormon Gulch, all foreigners have received formal notice to quit in one week. The disturbance is traced to the Foreign Mining Tax imposed by the last Legislature. The foreigners resitted Ihe payment of the tax, and when they have good claims they are driven away by individuals who urge the non-payment of the tax as an excuse for iheir prooeedinss. A number of murders and highway robber ies have been committed by Mexican Gue. rilla bands, and the chief of one band is now in prison. BUSINESS AFFAIRS. The prospect of a large business in San Francisco this full it encouraging. Workman are engaged in grading and planking the streets in view of the rainy sea. son, Artesaiu wells and reservoirs have been made and fire ooinpanies organized. Everything looks cheering.

It is darkest before daylight, B a favor. ile adage of Georee Washincton, anit we have seen its truth illustrated lo the passacn of the Texas Boundary Bill, aid all kindred measures, so far as Ihe relate to the absoibiug lopic of Ihe day and to the question of peno or war between the Slates. The battle hHs been nobly fought and won. The pnemy is not only routed bnt crushed ; frinnlieism and mad ambition not only rebuked, bnt annihila ted. The fever and aane w hich threatened to shake this country to pieces, has yielded to a proper treatment and to the recuperative poxver of a healthy and vigoious people. We are now clearly out of the woods and have a level country before us. We shall now gel through all the necessary legislation in Ihe course of three or four weeks, and then re" pose for a while, in security and peace. The delegation from Pennsylvania, though divided on the great question of the day, has contributed much to the pacification of the country. Mr. Wilrnot contributed toward il by being absent when the vote was taken Ihe Democrats contributed towards it by vo ting in a body for all ihe Bill and the lead jug Whigs contributed towards it by nobly sustaining the Bill Last evening a hundred guns were fired in honor of the Union and passage of the bill, while a band of music followed by a crowd of about a thousand people (a very large num ber for Washington at this season of the year) proceeded to Mr. Clay's Hotel, and serenaded him. Three cheeis were then given for Harry of Ihe West, but Mr. Clay was not in, and the crowd at once proceeded to Mrs. Pey. ton's, thp boarding house of General Foole General Foote made a vpry feeling but shorj address, and appeared almost overcome as the crowd repeatedly cheered him. No man in lhe Senate exhibited during this trying peri od greater moral courage, devotion, firmness and ability than General Foote. Fiom Gen eral Foote lhe crowd passed to the dwelling of General Cass the band striking up a Na. tional air, and cheered most vociferously. Gen. Cass, though partially retired, came to the balcony and made a very appropiiule and patriotio speech. From General Cass lhe band and crowd proceeded to Gailsby's, now the residence of Mr. Speaker Cobb, who re" sponded to the music and to the cheers in n very unassuming and patriotic manner. He thanked them in the name of the House o Representatives for whom he believed th honor was inlerkled, by being merely lhe pre siding officer of that body. This was a very pretty way of declining a compliment evi dontly paid lo him personally The crowd then proceeded to Ihe boarding house of Judge Douglas, of Illinois, Chairman of the Committee on Territories. They gave him nine cheers; the band striking up a na tional air. Mr. Douglas was just returning home from dinner, having been invited out by Mr. Winlhiop; but made, nevertheless, one of the best impromptu speeches I ever listened to on any occasion. From Jn Douglas, lhe music and Ihe people went t Brown's, and commenced playing and cheer. in" for the Senators from Texas. Both Sam Houston and Gen. Rusk made some nppropri ate remarks, which told powerful!) npou Ih people. The crowd and the music then marched up to Louisiana avenue and pustet themselves in front of Mr. Webster's house Though indisposed, Daniel came to the win duw, and quoted from Riehtrd III , doing ju tice to the son of Yoik, (Mr. Fillmore,) hi. dwelling particularly on the tact thai th clouds which lowered upon our house (ih Union) were now "in the deep bosom of l he ocean buried." He and Mr. Milliard, nhu happened lo be his visiter at the lime, were cheerpd, and Mr. H. made a very preity speech in reply. The crowd then proceeded to Senator Dickinson, of New York, who was very felicitous in his address, and il beinc then late in the evening, the band and Ihe people returned lo their respective homes. I mention these incidents, because they are a clear indication of the feelings of the people at this important crisis in our national affairs. A ridiculous affair occurred at the same time at lhe National Hotel. The ladies, God bless them! being for the L'nion par excel lence, had resolved to illuminate their parlor, and did so in handsome style the beaux firing ofT crackers and other fueworks. All this was very innocent and harmless; but Mr Ellwood Fisher, the senior editur of lhe Southern Press, living in the same house, pro tested against the illumination, and threaten ed to leave the bouse if Ihe landlord, Captain Black did not pul a stop to il. The Captain then quietly responded that he (Fisher) must go. The editor of l ho Southern Press then paid bis bill, and in about five minutes he and his '-baggage" went God knows where. The incident though trifling in itself, added considerably to the general merriment. As there are no colored chambermaids at lhe National, of course none of them tainted. The Senate will to-monow, concur with lhe House as regards Ihe Union of the Texas Boundary and New Mexico Territorial Bill, and tbe Bill will be signed belore one o'clock. Au express u ready to start with the bill fur Texas. Tbe Texas Legislatuie has re-elected Mr. Rusk, at I informed you by telegraph on Friday evening. Texas wilt, beyoud a doubl, accept lhe condition of the bill ; lhe re-election of General Rusk, whioh took place on the 26th of August, it in itself a pi oof tbai the Legislature of Texat 'approvet of his course and of the boundary for whioh he voted. There it a strong hope that, with the re turning good feeling of Congress, something will be don in the way of amending the Tariff. An amendment to lhe Civil and Dip- loniatio Appropriation Bill could be passed in the Senate in a dny, and would now be con. curred in by the House wilhoul doubl. Some" thing to that effect will yet be done before Ihe adjournment. There is Ihe best disposi tion in both Houses toward the great Penn sylvan la staples. The question teems to be who shall make lhe move in the Senate. TOLtNTEER CANDIDATE. . .
