It was at its highest about noon on Saturday. It remained stationary ap pa!rently for some four or five hours, when the waters commenced receding. The lower part of the town of Marietta was completely inundated, and women and children were removed from some of the houses in skiffs which navigated the sheets. Everywhere is to be seen piled up the debris which had been floated down and collected. The fur naces in and around Marietta, all except that of the Messrs. Haldeman, were corn polled to suspend operations. They were all flooded, and the water was almost even with the flues. It is not yet known whether they have escaped being chilled or not, but it is to be hoped they have. The destruction to the canal must have been very great. The river covered it completely and the water rushing doss nward in a torrent must have carried away much of the embankment. In sonic place's the railroad track is seri ously damaged. Even as late as yesterday afternoon the scene presented at Marietta was frightfully wild. Looking down the river a telegraph pole could be seen here and there, still standing erect along the steep hill sides, but no appearance of there ever having been a railroad or canal was visible. The Water was covered with float ing timber and drift wood• Hundreds of wild ducks -were flying about, apparently in a distressed condition. The rapid stream would beat them swiftly down toward a rough fall, when they would be compelled to take to the wing. They c „ oiiid only se cure a rest of a few momentsat a time. In vain did they search for quiet eddies in the midst of this flood. The dainaTi to private property in and about Marietta was not very great, if we except the' furnaces and the destruction of fences. At Columbia, the river being so very wide, less loss occurred. The rise there was not nearly so great as at Marietta. Persons who professed to know assured us that the rise at Marietta was Over twenty feet above low water mark.— Amnong other objects which came floating down the river was the entire superstructure of a large Saw Mili. It lodged just above Marietta, sonic considerable distance from the shore. Where it came from was not known. DEATH OF A VET ERA N 501.1 , 1 ER.—Mr. William IL Morton, son of Mr. John Mor ton, of this city, who has been a soldier in the U. S. army for more than eighteen years, died of typhoid fever, at Point of Rocks Hospital, Virginia, on the `_'lst of February. Mr. M. served all through the Mexican war, and ,vas afterwards engaged on the frontier. At the time the preent war broke out, his company was stationed :it Fort Ridgely, - Minnesota, and it reached Fort McHenry, in Baltimore Harbor, just two days before the ever-mentor:dile 19th of April, ISSI. Few men had seen more active service than he. Ile was a faithful soldier, a quiet, gentlemanly man, and we sincerely sympathize with his aged father in Ilk bereavement. The funeral took place yes terday afternoon, at :1 o'clock, from the residence of his father, on the Litiz turnpike. JOIINSON'S NEW ILLUSTRATED FAMILY ATLAS.—Mr. b S. II I lartwell, agent for thifi most admirable work, k now visiting differ ent parts of this conntii, -- . The work is of such a character that it will at once com mand the admiration of every intelligent man who examines it even cursorily. Mr. Johnson, the author of this celebrated Atlas of the World, in his earlier days was the general Agent of J. H. Colton, and traveled in almost every county in the United States. He made the first county colored map of the United States that ex tended to the Pacilic, and 40,000 copies were sold in a very short time. Ile subsequently made a large number of other valuable maps. 11. Colton cC Co. failed in the fall of 1857, and Mr, Colton, soon after the failure, requested Mr. Johnson to so arrange mat ters that he could consolidate the two houses. It was done, and Mr. Johnson at once became the head and front of the great est geographical establishment in the world. This Atlas is the; result of the coalition of the talent and experience of these two great map publishers. New maps—yes, town ship nuyis, must bemade of all the United States which have townships; and Colton's Atlas was only partially a township Atlas. Even the great State of Pennsylvania was only a county map ; hence, in this and many other States his work was literally worthless; and for want of these township maps it could not besold. These newmaps alone have cost thousands of dollars and years of labor to produce; and they are nearer perfect than any other maps ever - before put into an Atlas. It contains full statistical tables carefully made up ; and such a general fund of useful information as cannot be found elsewhere. We can safely commend it to all our readers as a work which they cannot afford to be without. It is the most complete affair of the kind ever gotten up. The Teachers of the State Normal School speak of it in the following flattering but truthful terms: The undersigned, having had an oppor tunity of examining Johnson's New Illus trated Family Atlas are of the opinion that in beauty, accuracy and general excellence it has no miperior, while it possesses some new features which give it a decided superi ority as a popular Atlas. The articles on Physical and Descriptive Geography especially adapt it to the use of the family ; and the provision which has been made for the introduction of such new matter as the progress of geograpical and topographical science, the advance ofcivili zation, and the changes in the political world shall give occasion for promises to make it a standrad authority tin* many years. These merits, and its remarkabfe cheapness, bespeak for it a large patronage, and we hope that it niay he widely dissem inated M the schools and families of our ,State. J.

In the Senate, in the debate on the constitutional amendment, Mr. Ran dolph, of Hudson, denied that voting against it placed himself and others in the position of defending an institution the existence of which he deprecated and desired to dispose of as, rapidly as humanity and a due regard to the rights of all permitted. Messrs. Chandler, of Morris, and Holman followed on the same side. The question was then post poned until to-morrow. The joint meeting of both brances was held at three o'clock. The rule elect by majority was res cinded, and John P. Stockton was elected, having received forty votes. Mr. Scovel, of Camden, nominated and voted for Frederick 'l'. Frelinghuy sen, of Essex. This nomination was received with applause. Mr. Doughty, of Somerset, nominated and voted for Mr. "room. Mr. Kennedy, democrat, of Warren, nominated and voted for James W. Wall. Mr. Jenkins, demo crat, of Union, nominated and voted for H. S. Little, of Monmouth.

The Pa triot and Union thus an dijimces the result of the recent municipal elec tion in that city : Although the vote at the municipal election yesterday was a light one, and no special efforts made by the Democracy to defeat the well organized voting force of the " Union League," we are pleased to announce that the Democracy have been victorious in the city by an in creased majority over previous munici pal elections, and over those of last fall. In the townships, so far as we have heard, the results have been equally favorable to the Democracy. We hope, sincerely, that these indications presage a change in the popular current that shall eventually bring the State and na tion back to the good old times of pure and free Democracy. Borough Election in York, Pa.---Increas ed Democratic Majority. YORK, Pa. March 18, 1865. To TILE PHILADELPHIA AGE:—The borough election held here yesterday proves that the Democratic strength in this region is still increasing notwith standing the extraordinary exhibitions of unusually large majorities made by this county during the past three years. The majority for David Small, for Chief Burgess, at the election held last year was 206, which was beyond all that had ever preceded it. Mr. Small was yesterday elected by a majority of two hundred and thirty-seven! The Demo crats also carried the First, Fourth and Fifth wards for Councilmen, leaving the Abolitionists but the Second and Third wards, by small majorities. The Dem ocrats accordingly have entire control of the Borough Councils, without requir ing the casting vote of the Chief Bur gess. In Spring garden and some other neighboring townships, the vote was almost unanimously Democratic. D. P. S.

Foote's Manifesto--The Rebel Congressman's Explanation of His Flight from Richmond and America. [From the New York Herald.] Henry S. Foote, late rebel Congress man from Tennessee, has found the "sequestered spot" where he hoped to be free from persecution, and taxation. It is at the "Golden. Cross Hotel, the Strand, London ;" and from here he dates a manifesto to his constituents in his usual grandiloquent style. His pur pose in addressing them he declares to be in order that he may represent the reasons which influenced him to leave the rebel States, and in doingthis he in timates that "the actual condition of things in both sections of his own dear native country" (and not Mr. Lincoln) forced him to seek refuge in a foreign land before he could communicate said reasons and divers other matters, which he assures his "well-beloved constitu ents" "are vitally associated with their honor and happiness." He begins by endeavoring to show that he was and is a Union man. His facts are not strong, his arguments are weak and his success rather lame. His assertions are worthy of notice, how ever, from the fact that he couples them with the statement that his opposition to the disunion schemes which had cul minated in the Montgomery rebel gov ernment and Congress were well known to nis constituents when they elected him in 1882, without solicitation on his part, to represent them, or, in other - words, that he was elected to the rebel Congress as a " Union man." He re fers to his course in that body, and claims to have early and persistently opposed " the shameful efforts of Mr. Davis and his servitors to undermine the public liberties and establish a des potism on its ruins." He claims credit for his efforts "to effect the remodeling of the wretched Cabinet of Davis ; the exposition of the rank official corruption; the earnest and seasonable indication of certain meritorous military commanders when heartlessly and wickedly assailed by Mr. Davis and his employes ;" and " the untiring industry which he has displayed in the arraignment of incom petent generals, with a view to their dismissal." He states that he at last grew disgusted with the " gross and undeniable mismanagement" of Davis, and " the servility of his incompetent and snobbish Congress ;" and so, with "the advice of all his discerning friends," he came to the sage conclusion that the "South would be inevitably ruined" if an honorable peace was not speedily effect ed. Knowing Davis was selfishly bent on a further prosecution of the war for his vile purposes, Foote says that, " after consulting with the best , and wisest man whom I (he) met," he resolved tolose no time in introducing resolutions into the rebel House of Representatives looking to immediate action on the port of Con gress itself. They were rejected, as is well known, much to Foote's mortifica tion, which is expressed in the manifesto in a review of Davis' administration.— While this disgust was still on him, Foote left Richmond, sent his wife through to Nashville, got captured, was released and escaped to Sheridan's. lines and announced himself as a peace corn missoner in a long letter to Mr. Seward, chiefly remarkable for the assertion that he repreSented in that capacity "a large number of the most weighty and influ ential statesmen that the South contain ed, and at the wish of a very large ma jority of the people of the Southern States," whom he assures Mr. Seward " are ready and anxious to enter once more into fraternal Union with our fel low-citizens of the North." He has a plan for the settlement of what he con siders the chief difficulty in the way of bringing the war to a close—namely, slavery. He begs the North to deal with the South on that point "liberally and kindly," and says : Consider, if you please, that the fate of slavery has been sealed by the opera tions of the war itself ; that Maryland is now a free State, and Missouri likewise ; that Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Arkansas are sure in a few years, by their own voluntary action, to adopt a system of emancipa tion ; and that in all probability before the close of the present century slavery will nowhere exist upon the continent.— Can you not afford, then, to leave it where the federal constitution left it If though, circumstances exist which render such a plan of settlement impos sible, then lam prepared to say, in be half of those whom I represent, that we will agree to such a change of the feder al constitution as will secure the entire extinction of slavery on the Ist clay of January, 1900, and which will provide also for the freedom of all persons of African blood who shall be born after the Ist day of January, 1790. In reply to this letter and his applica tion to be allowed to come to Washing ton, Seward sent orders to Gen. Sheri dan to send Foote to New York. On arriving in New York, permission was granted him to leave the country, and he did so in February, 1865, after ad dressing another long letter to Seward, following it with one to Mr. Lincoln. Taking his cue from the fact that he writes from on board the steamer in mid-ocean, he compares Mr. Lincoln to Neptune, begs him to " look the god, assume the trident of pacification and compose the discordant elements of this vexed land." He is also generous enough to tell him how to do this, recommending as the most potent spells to allay the fury of the contend ing passions of the twosections theadop tion of measures for gradual emancipa tion in lieu of immediate abolition, and the remorseless enforcement of the Mon roe-Foote doctrine, and not forgetting that his " sequestered spot " is comfort ably, not to say luxuriously, located in the bosom of the British nation. Foote proceeds in a foot note to show that England could very consistently join in the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine, as improved by Foote, and present the sublime spectacle of the Anglo-Saxon race driving the rest of creation off the face of the globe ! • 1 (e42.3c. 1 bfr,2oc. 20(a)20c. . 10(cy 15c. lO@llc. .16(x_420c. . 8(a. 12c. . 5(910c. 20c. . 51.2.5@1.30 .1.Kg.1.4D 2 00 L.OO The " method of Mr. Foote's mad ness " is probably contained in the con cluding paragraph of his manifesto, which has all the virtuous conciseness and wisdom generally attributed to post scripts. He says : On arriving in the City of London I sat down to draw up this address to my valued neighbors and friends of Ten nessee. It is not now my fortunate lot to see you face to face ; I may possibly never again have that satisfaction ; but I entreat you, my countrymen and fel low citizens, whatever may be the action of President Lincoln and the poli ticians now in power in Washington city, upon the propositions submitted to them in this correspondence, that you will yourselves lose no time in returning to the bosom of the federal Union. It is far better, in my deliberate opinion, that you should do so, and do so at once, than to take the chances of future military success under Jefferson Davis and his present official associates, and rely upon them for the future restora tion of your liberties, after they shall have been once completely surrendered to the most unfeeling and degrading despotism that has existed in the world since the days of Dionysius of Syracuse.

The Great Freshets--$2,000,000 of Pro perty Destroyed in 011 City—The Whole Place Inundated and 011 Machinery Floated Away—Particulars of Damage in Other Localities. Prrisßusa, March 20.—Telegraphic communication with Oil City notbeing established, we can give but meagre de tails of the losses of the late flood. The total loss is immense, being moderately estimated at over two million dollars. Oil City was completely flooded, and many business offices were floated away by the water r which rose with unprece dented rapidity. All the bottom lands above Oil City were submerged, and the Mc Clintock and Oil City bridges, over Oil Creek, and Franklin bridge, over French Creek, were carried away. Derricks, tanks containing large quantities of oil, came down, and the river was flocked with floating barrels, most of them filled with oil. Many Pittsburg firms suffered heavily. Along the banks were sad evidences of the wreck. Many families whose houses are gone, are camping along the bank. All the banks along the Allegheny river are inundated. Considerable of oil in barrels will be recovered, having floated into eddies below this city, and left aground by the receding water's. At the mouth of Se wickly Creek it is estimated that $lOO,- 000 worth o f property was washed ashore. A large field at Manchester is entirely covered with oil barrels, and one piece of bottom land, a short distance below, about twenty-one acres in extent, is covered from six to eight feet with oil barrels and lumber in a confused mass. THE FLOOD SUBSIDING-RESUMPTION OF RAILWAY TRAVEL. HARRISBURG, March 20.—The extra ordinary freshets in the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers are subsiding, the water falling rapidly. The damage to the Pennsylvania Railroad is found to be very slight, and the road is now in working condition between Harrisburg and Pittsburg. The eastward trains came through on time to-day, from Pittsburg to Harrisburg. The damage done to the track that was overflowed east of Harrisburg, six miles, will be repaired by to-morrow evening. In the meantime, the business to and from Philadelphia and New York is passing over the Philadelphia and Wil mington road. The Cumberland Valley bridge has been repaired, and the trains of the Northern Central Railroad, be tween Harrisburg and Baltimore, are passing as usual. THOMAS A. SCOTT, Vice President of Penna. Railroad. PITTSBURG, March 20.—The trains are running regularly on the Fort Wayne and Chicago Railrood, The War. From reslerday's On Tuesday or Wednesday last (the time is uncertain), after several days of rest, General Sherman's army at Fayetteville began crossing to the east side of (he Cape Fear river. His troops took the road towards Goldsboro, which is about forty miles east of Fayetteville, and is the headquarters ((f General Jolinston's army. The progress made by Sherman's advance is not known ; nor is it evident whether the Confederates made any strong opposi tion to his march. By means of scouts, who travel by circuitous routes, Sherman communicates with Schofield, who is quiet at Kinston. There has not been any junc tion effected by the two armies, however. Tuesday last the Confederates were at Goldsboro, and presented two fronts, one towards Fayetteville and the other towards Kinston. Schofield made no attempt to ad vance from Kinston. The Federal losses in the recent battles at Kinston are now stated at twenty-five hundred. We continue to receive details of the de struction caused by General Sheridan's raid in Central Virginia. When last heard from he - was at Hanover Court House, on the Pamunkey. No announcement has yet been received of his arrival there, however. With the exception of the cavalry fight at the South Anna railroad bridge. Sheridan seems to have fought no battle with the Confederates. The great freshets in the rivers south and west of Philadelphia have broken the telegraph wires, and prevented the transmission of intelligence. We have at length received the Confeder- ate report of the attack upon the fleet of steamers that were carrying supplies up the Arkansas river to Fort Smith, made by the Confederates in January last. Three steamers were destroyed, eighty-two Feder al prisoners were captured, and twenty seven were killed or wounded. The Con federate loss was one killed and fifteen wounded. Intelligence has been received that a severe thunder storm prevailed at Mobile on March 8 and P. It wrecked five transports of the Federal fleet, which had just arrived front New Orleans. No lives were lost. A new Confederate privateer was at Nassau on March 15th. She is said to be named the Confederate States. The attack on Mobile began on Saturday, March 11. On that day the Federal moni tors engaged two of the batteries defending Secretary Stanton is again in Washington The Cost of Living How many persons have found out from actual pleasurable or profitable ex perience that gold has declined? The cost of living has decreased but little, and in regard to many articles not at all. Dealers are very ready to advance prices, but, as a general thing, exceedingly slow about lowering them. When specie is driven out of circulation by paper cur rency the reign of high prices is sure to be a long one. The effects of the mod erate paper money inflation in Great Britain during the Napoleonicwars, and the suspension of speciepayment is thus described by Sir. Archibald Alison, in chapter twentyltwo of his " History of Europe ": " Every article of life was speedily doubled in price, and continued above twenty years at that high standard, and upon the recurrence to a metallic cur rency, in 1819, the distress and suffering among the industrious classes long ex ceeded anything ever before witnessed in our history." It is not possible that we can descend to a specie basis without even greater difficulties and more extended financial difficulties than England experienced. After the war ceases we shall just begin to feel the burthen of the national debt. The Hon. Charles A. Peabody has been appointed District Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana.

LANCASTER AND PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION. The property of the Lanwaster and Venango Mutual Petroleum Association consists of Ninety-One Acres of Land, in fee simple, situ ated on the eastern bank of Big Sandy Creek, and on either side of Stony Run which flows , through the middle of it, in French Creek township, Venango county. It presents a large proportion of boring ground, amounting to at least sixty acres. Part of the laud is covered with tine oak timber, well calculated for the manufacture of coal oil barrels, this alone is of great value in that locality where thousands of barrels are wanted daily to hold the rich produtts or sur rounding wells. It is evident also that large deposits of bitu-c minous coal exist In the elevated portions of this tract; they are however undeveloped. 'Within one mile east and west coal mines are worked on an extensive Scale. Recent experiments demonstrate that the "Big Sandy " is not second to Oil Creek in oil wealth as to quantity, wh le the quality is far superior, and worth nearly twice the price of the illuminating oil upon Oil Creek; the Big Sandy producing the heavy lubricating oil. The excitement is now in that direction. Num bers of wells are now down and being bored all along the waters of the Big Sandy. Oil was struck of a mile above this tract on the 7th of February, A. D., IStas. There is a fifty barrel producing well at the mouth of the Big Sandy, this is about a mile off. The land of this company lies due south of he property of the Sugar Creek Oil Company, n the seine belt, about miles; said Sugar 'reek Company struck a 70 barrel well in the atter part of February, 1865, which sent the 'lock up from one to twenty-four dollars ($21.00) n a few days. It is the determination of this company to illy develop their whole territory. Subscribers stock can feel sat istied that no etffirt will be cured on the part of the officers and managers t bring out the oil, which must be within ach of faithful labor. We invite a careful ex- am i nation of our prospectus by all. We have every confidence in our oil prospects, :Ind ev ery assurance that the stock of the company will soon advance In price. The managers of this association, while they do not wish to misrepresent, at the same time beg leave to bring the stern fact before the pub lic, that after all that is said about this, that and the other tract of oil land and oil wells, in nine out of ten times there is no oil there, out side of Venango county. Venango county is the oil county. Remembei that! Examine the list of producing wells. We point to it with pride: Cherry Run, Sugar Creek, Cognette Well, Reed Well, Auburn Well, Big Sandy, Dalzell, Mc- Clintock, etc , etc., all in Venango county, In close proximity to the "Lancaster and Venan go Tract." There is oil wherever bituminous coal exists, but not everywhere in sufficient quantities to pay for boring and pumping. The great reservoir of oil, or oil burin, lies in Venango county, under Oil Creek, Cherry Run, Sugar Creek, Big Sandy Creek, and the adjacent parts of the Allegheny river. There are now only 59,0110 shares of the stock of this company offered for sale, the rest is all taken. ACE - r- Office of the Company at No. 21 North Duke street, Lancaster city. - pgal satires.
