DISASTERS. THE GREAT FLOOD AT ROCK ISLAND AND DA.VENPORT. Inundation... Streets Under Water.-- Domingo to Buildings. Bridges, Lum ber' lards, Packing Houses, Uel . [From the Rock Island Union. March 11.) —AbrnitierVelnet yesterday.moreing tire - gorged ice opposite Rock Island hoisted anchor, and slowly began moving down stream. An immense field of it still clung to the Davenport shore, and the open channel was not over one-third the width of the river. Gradually the moving mass increased in rapidity, as the impatient - body above found an opening, piling huge, irregular cakes on top of each other, grinding the heavy edges and rushing down the channel with a grand and irresistible velocity. The chisel beats and barges of Messrs. Case oz Co., which lay a short distance below the point of the Island, firmly blockaded by the Ice, were carried along with the current. Live men were on board one of the barges, trying to save some part of the wreck, when the movement com menced. Escape was impossible and all they could do was to sit still and trust to Providence. Huge masses of ice piled around their frail boat, almost hiding them from view at times, as they were rapidly carried down the channel. An im mense crowd of people collected on the shore, watching with eager interest the imperiled men, but unable to do anything toward rescuing them. ---The-gorge which elosed thnfnrther progress of the lee runs from the Rodman Mills diagonally up stream until It strikes the Davenport shore. Below this line the ice is but little broken. :When it gorged here the water rose rapidly in the upper end of the city, flowing out of Madison street to Illinois and from thence across Orleans to Rock river. During the afternoon the whole lower floor of Biddison's steam sash and door factory was under water, and boys were floating about with skiffs. Sidewalks wore washed from their moorings, and floated loosely through thestreets, and Illinois street, especially from the depot east ward, was a mass of floating debris. The water found a channel by way of Eagle street into the slough, making the larger part of the city a pro tective Island. --- Aboutbintro'clocirthe thief:at - Rock Islanne gen to rise rapidly. It came up - bodily. In a short time the water covered' the floors of the houses on Mississippi street, driving the occu pants to their upper rooms, and compelling them to remove their goods. The current rushed through the streets leading toward the bluff, and. the dwellers in the vicinity of the slough found themselves in the same predlexment as those along the levee. Illinois street was overflowed from Eagle street eastward, and beatable channels were pouring across at streets farther down. Cel lars were rapidly filled, and no little amount of damage was done to goods on the first floors of adjacent stores and dwellings.

[From the Peternberg Expreee of the 14th.1 A serious accident occurred Thursday after noon on board the steamer John Sylvester,within a few minutes after she bad left City Point for Richmond. It appears that one of the steam chimneys exploded, killing a colored man named Druid Bmith, and badly scalding Mr. John C. Tilford, of Williamsburg, in the face and on the hands: also Israel Brown and Henry Cneman, both colored. The extent of the damage to the steam( r did not prevent her proceeding to Rich mond, from the Disputh of which city we gather the following particulars: "The explosion occurred about half-past two o'cleck, just after the steamer bad gotten about o hundred yards from City Point wharf, on her way to this city. There was no warning—a tremendous explosion startled all on hoard, who were in a moment ens eloped in a dense Claud of lecke and steam. Great confusion ensued, all thinking of their own ,afety. Some of the ladies fainted, w bile otlierr attempted to crawl through the cabin windows; but seeing that the danger was over. aeon became calm, and devoted their rules to relieving the sufferings of the wounded and restoring the ladies to consciousness. For tunately Dr. Macgill, of this city, was on board, and administered all necessary aid to the injured. "The cause of the explosion was the giving waytof the socket bolt in the starboard steam chimney, and, as we have said, took all by sur idise. The passengers and hands were scattered about the boat. 31r. Tilford, one of those scalded, as in the upper cabin asleep near the port toiler, and awoke to find himself some ten yards tram the place where he laid down. Ile jumped up, closed his mouth, and broke through the cabin wir.dcw into the air, thus saving his life. Henry Coleman (colored). also scalded. was. _rooming his horse rear the boiler. and was (down several feet, alighting softly, and receiving co injuries excepting from the steam. hire in Jefferson,Texas-A Large Por tion of the own Destroyed—Loss over a Million Dollars. The Jefferson (Texas) Jimplecute, extra, of the Ist; has the following: Just at eleven creloc - k last night a fire broke out in the rear of ROE enberg's confectionery, near the corner of Vale and Dallas streets. The wind was blowing heavily from the southwest, and [be flames spread with such rapidity that all exertion proved unable to stop its head way. In thirty minutes from the time the. fire watt discovered, it had' completely enveloped he barber shop of Gus Smith. adjoining (Moon c. Iluelman's confectionery and R. B. Howell's torehcuse. It then spread with fearful rapidity down the right sideof Dallas street, and iu a short time had crossed the street to H. B. Orton etc Co.'s Urge building opposite, and down the left side of Dallas, destroying the two entire blocks, clear to Levee street, where the brick building of Graham ' Taylor stood the shock, and stopped the flames in that direction. The right side of Dfdlas street is turned to clear the levee. On reaching :lie large and magnificent building of Russell & Co., the flames crossed Austin street, and destroyed the two large frame buildings be lorging to Mrs. Kinnear and J. Bruckmiller. While these buildings were burning the large house of Bateman v Bro., containing several thousand bales of cotton and immense piles of goods and groceries, was •in imminent danger, I,nd only Paved by the greatest exertions. For some time the struggle was to keep the flames from crossing Vale street, which was only done by the almost superhuman efforts of a few gallant HMIs, who were scorched by the flames on the top of T B. Goyne ek: Co.'s, and Goldberg liesenthall's storehouses. Rad the flames crossed here, there would have been nothing at cell left of our unfortunate city. As it is. all the main business portion of the place is destroyed. embracing four of the largest blocks and por tions of others. We deeply regret to say that the city authorities had no organization what ever in the way of ladders, axes, buckets, or any thing else, to assist in staying the destruction. As to how the fire originated, we cannot tell, but dint we are all ruined together, is a fixed tact. Our office was for a long while in imminent danger, and ~catteied fore and aft. We lose 500 or $l,OOO, and shall not be able to issue on Tuesday without we obtain a great deal of nelp. Gen. McLaughlin had his whole company • prortyptirortlie — ground, -and -himself. •and- men_ did everything on earth they could to subdue !he flames and save property, for which he de ,erves the thanks of all. The freedmen worked faithfully, wherever there was work to do, and many of them acted nobly, indeed. It was thought for some time during he fire that several lives had been lost, but the parties are all safe, and nobody seriously hurt. The Phcenix and Etna Insurance Companies are the principal losers, so far as we have'learned. There was less disturbance than usual on such occasions. and very few were intoxicated, which was probably owing to the fact that the United States troops were patroling the city after the tire wan over. The Jinlpkcute gives a detailed list of the suffer ers by the fire, the amount of their loss, &c. The total value of the merchandise destroyed it esti mates at $595,250; buildings, $189,350; two thou sand bales of cotton, $200,000; other articles, $22,000. Total loss, $1,000,500. The insurance on the buildings destroyed was very small, pro bably not one per cent. on the loss. Fire at Lambertville, N. J. [From the .Trenton American, March IL) Yesterday morning, about, five o'clock, the main buildings of the Rubber Manufacturing Company took fire and were destroyed, together with the contents. The loss is estimated at $20,000. The efforts of the firemen proved in effectual because of the combustible nature of the material. —An account of the wedding trouBscau of the Archduchess Maria Theresa, of Este, lately mar ried to Prince Louis of Bavaria, says : "The jew elry was of great magnificence, and is valued at some millions. The most splendid of all was a diadem formed of large brilliants of unusual size. "There were also - two either . diadems, hardly-infe rior to this in value or brilliacy; a diadem and stomacher of diamonds: "there Were, also two bracelets of silver, studded with large diamonds, a present of the .Empress Elizabeth. Rings, necklaces, brooches, rare pearls, and magnificent emeraid&covered the tables." —Mr. Hinton announces that. Walt Whitman has nearly completed a final edition of hispoems. Thissedition, it is stated, is "in better consecutive order, with many new pieces, and especially with anew part or collection, in which ho has practi cally% carried out a long-nourished design of de picting the religions element in the characterand personality which is considered by him necessary to the completeness of his work." OL COUNTRY A corn epondent of the Cincinnati Gfr:, , tt., tips Ltd a "talk" with Senator Wade. From his let ter rte txtrr,ct the following: C- In the outset it may be said that Mr. Wade dis plays a feeling with reference to the great duty that, is at out to come upon him, very eretiltßl)le to his judgment, and very little in accord with some popular notions of his character. "I dOn't suppose any body will believe me," be says—"at letst, it Is the fashion not to believe such things, and so I suppose there is no use saying it; but, in truth, I would a great deal mther escape this seeming prospect of the Presidency than not, if I could do it honorably. and without desertion of duty. I don't mean to say that I wouldn't like to be President-4 would be a fool to say that. Bat to be a piece of a President —to go in for a fragment of it year, in the midst Of the excitement of the Presidential election, :when there is so much to do and so little time to do it, is tot a thing to be coveted. Under the Circumstances, there's no great honor_in it: its only my fortune to be -in the place that may ,make it necessary; and there is no chance for much of a career in it. I'll have plenty of time to make thousands of enemies by my appoint nts, and not time enough to make many friends by my administration." "Now I would like," continued the bluff old yeteran with characteristic frankness, "I would like to stay where I am, and I don't make any tsecret of it. This is something that I think I know something about. I've been in Congress a bong time, and I relieve I knew what a member of Congress ought to do. If. I can't stay In the Senate, then I should like to get :IS near to it as I can, by presiding over it. As toryour Presidency. I haven't tried it ; and I know very well that its duties required different order of. !acuities and different kind of work. I'Ve never had the Pr e . a-We:will] fever very bad. The Senate was good enough for me, and if I'd had my own way, there stouldn't have beer, much likellhood.of my ever trying to get out of it." In many ways and at Mani , times the Senator Las expressed the same ideas, with a sincerity thatis transparent and unmistakable. There can be no doubt that he regards the office that seems likely to come upon him, not as a prize to he coveted, but as a dangerous duty that may be required and cannot be honorably avoided. Nor can there be any doubt as to the desire frankly expres:cd, to remain at the head of the body of which be has so long becw, : ..l,naember. The peo ple se t Di likely to take ettestlatt his wish shall be gratified "People itho think there's great danger of my rushing heaolong, into war," continued the Sena tor, "or doing some other extreme thing, simply because I've always had the habit of speaking my mind freely, don't seem to know much about human nature. I suppose that increase of power and responsibility always tends to make a man mere cautious. I know very well that it is one thing fer a man to act for himself, on his own individual responsibility as a senator, and quite another thing to act on the same sub jects when ho is in a position where every movement he makes will affect the whole nation. And, if men think that I have sometimes-advocated measures-with-intemperate zeal, let them look to see where I have ever ori ginated one in that spirit. There is my public record in the Globe—N•e been a -free talker here for seventeen years, and have generally taken all the responsibility that seemed,to belong to me— let, them look over the Globe and see what my in , temperate actions have been.. I've always wanted, von know, to travel ahead, on the skirmish sine of our principles ' but have tried never to get so tar ahead as to be captured by the enemy. Now, you know my course here u ell enough. You know that I never differed, to any serious extent, from my party, except on one matter. As to everything else, why if I was wrong, my party was wrong, and the majority of the American people were wrong; if I was intern - perate in action or-over-zealous, or extreme, or impracticable, so were they. But on one point I did differ from my party. That was in opposing Mr. Lincoln's course in pocketing our Recon struction bill and setting up a reconstruction policy of his own—exactly the thing that has got us into all this trouble now. I did feel much opposed to that, and I said so. That splendid f6ilow, Winter Davis, and I published a paper about it. I've never taken back one word of that paper, and I stand by it now. The Republican ' party now takes exactly the ground that Winter Davis and I took then, and the trouble we've got into arises from the President's taking the oppo si‘e ground, that reconstruction belongs to him and not to Congress. More than that, Mr. Lin coln himself came over to our view before his death. Mr. Sumner can tell you all about it. Only a short time before the assassination, Mr. Lincoln told Senator Sumner that that thing was the great error of his life, and that he never Bladuld have given occasion for what the papers called the Wade and Davis mani festo. Now, what other intemperate measures have I taken?

[From the Dayton Lodger.) The result of the election in New Hampshire yesterday again proves the lesson of all history, that in unsettled and revolutionary times, in all countries, and perhaps at all times, in a young, growing, vigorous country like ours, the bold party is the one which wins. And it is. oar deliberate conviction that the prompt impeachment, on the one hated, of Andrew Johnson, and on the other, the sweet alacrity with which he submitted, trusting in "God, the people, and the Courts," but without - keeping.his powder dry," or making any prepa ration before venturing to provoke Congress to battle—unless, indeed, it was he bought that nitro-glycerine in New York—turned the scale and gave to the Republicans the victory in New Hampshire. Last Summer and Fall, hesitancy, -policy" and dissension, characterized the Re publican party, as boldness, earnestness and har mony did. the Democracy,and we were victorious everywhere. Since October and November, the picture has everywhere been re versed. Unity and audacity again char acterize the Republicans, and tim idity and policy the Democrats. The Senatorial election in Ohio; the Senatorial election in Ken tucky ; the refusal of the Maryland Legislature to reelect Senator Thomas when denied his seat; the triumph of The New York lVorld politicians in the National Democratic Committee; the inaction of the Ohio Legislature, and various other similar circumstances; indicate that the Democratic party, just now, is not the "unterrified Demo clay" of "Old Hickory's" time. The following disclosure is made by the Wash ington correspondent of the Syracuse Journal: Whoever believes the accidental President will remain quiet until the trial is ended; may know human nature ' but he certainly does not under stand that of A. J. One thing is certain, that quiet as all appears on the surface, the gravest apprehensions of a seilous collision here aro felt by parties who have the best means of judging, ana the largest stake in the contest. Perhaps I may be considered sensational, If I say that Secretary Stanton has excellent reasons for apprehending an attempt to. ' , obtain eon trol by force of his 'department. Yet, what I state is.the simple truth. on may rest, 118611.1M1. POLITIC/ M. rtn. Wady on the hitnattost. AS 10 THE pitEstsgav NVADM'S " EXTREME R.AIPIeALI,Of RUntors of a hebel Consptracy• that Mr. Stanton is well Informed of the move ments going On in this city and vicinity. They are aangerous. Of that there can be no douse.. The President has definitely taken another step forward in the certain and direct' collision which be evidently seek?. As you know, the Adjutant- General took his ecatnttile Cabinet meeting, in lis rid character. At that Cabinet Mr. Johnson demanded of his Secretaries that they fral to recognise Mr. Stanton. It is understood !hat Thomas will issue orders looking to a forcible occupation of what he calls "my Depart ment:- also, that in relieving Hancock, he will, ail . Secretary of War, issue an order forming the Military District of the Atlantic, and . place the General in command. Grant will, It is believed, refuse to promulgate them. Thomas will persist in issuing them. Grant is to be placed under arrest for disobedience. Gen. Emory, it is un derstood, is to be placed in this position first. Gen. Gordon Granger has been he-e for some weeks. He is in thorough sympist*, with Andy. Hancock will soon be here. she command ant of this post (not Emory, who commands the Department) is also reported to be in sympathy with Andy. It is declared, on good authority, too,. that among the schemes -which -have been seriously discussed, is one for the seizure of-the Capitol, and the preventing of Congress from as sembling. All these, and many others of a similar nature. are not made public. The effort is to keep &em quiet. They come to me through credible channels. Ido not vouch for them, but only mention them as among the strong probabilities of the situation. There is ono suspi cious fact. The town is full of Maryland rebels, as well as numbers from the extreme South. Two-thirds of the visitors hero are of that section. ' The "down-the-Potomac" smugglers, mail car riers and guerillas of the rebellion have been represented here quite largely. Men who were trained in the secret service declare that scores of the most notorious of these men have been and arc in the city. Persons known to be in the most contidatial relations' with the Presi dent have been seen in communication with such men. When I say that at the War De partment and Armyslleadquarters these things are known. watched and preparedfor, I only speak with due moderation. It is 'knownthat on one occasion, at least, and others are reported, Gens. Grant. and Howard were summoned to Headquarters after midnight; the reason being the gathering at different points near the War Department of several bodies of men,, in" groups of from two to six, and the fact that communication was evidently going on among them by means of signals, such as whistles, &c. The Virginian guerrilla chief Mosby was here some days ago, and bought a- large lot of condemned military saddles at a government sale. He said that they were bought on specula tion, but in view of the fact, proved to the satis fact;on of those whose business it is to know these things, that a great deal of correspondence, communication, and assembling of his partisans has recently occurred, and that it is mysteriously given out that they are about to do something,the . fair inference is that the saddles are wanted for such use, as the opportunity the Mosbyites be lieve may offer. Within a short time, a new secret Copperhead organization has been started here. Cornelius Wendell is the prime mover M it. There are three divisions or "chapters" as they are termed, already organized. Two of them are commanded by ex-rebel colonels. They give out their design to be. protection against a negro raid, which they- deelare , will metr when the impeachment trial begins. These things, and many others we know of, are straws . which serve to show the public what is talked of at least. They are worth noting Many rate, be cause they show how absolutely essential to the peace and welfare of the country it is to com pass, legally, the removal of Johnson. "Im peachment is Peace." Rills Hospital for the. Eye and Limb. .11r. Editor—l was pleased to observe in a late number of your excellent paper some reference to RILLS HOSPITAL as an Orthopedic Institution. Means and accommodation are, indeed, all that are necessary to render it everything that can be desired in this respect; and surely, with the foun dation already laid, a location unrivaled for healthfulness and beauty, and an efficient surgi cal staff, it is hardly wise, to say no more, to es tablish, for the same object, another charity, which cannot possibly possess equal advantages. The truth is, Mr. Editor, that no other is really necessary. Wills Hospital, now chiefly and fa vorably known as an Ophthalmic Institution. because money is wanting for Its full de velopment, is intended to include' disease and injuries of the limb as well, and with proper en largement would be one of the most valuable Orthopaedic institutions In the world. Under the latter part of its designation, patients with lameness from any cause—disease, recent acci dent, or original malformation—could be ad mitted into its ward, and it would thus become in effect almost a gentral hospital, with the addi tional advantage over any mere private enterprise of regarding,wiih a single eye,tho proinotion;of the public good. Three of the gentlemen who are mentioned in connection with the projected In firmary are managers also of Willa' Hospital, and it may well be supposed that in thus lending the support of their names theyffittle thought of in curring the charge of unfaithfulness to their trust.
