The Ohio at Cincinnati has overflowed its build, and inundated the lower part of that city, doing incalctilablc' damage, and turning out mime four or five thousand families from their homes. A public meeting has been • called by the citizens to provide means for allevia ting the destitute cot - Anion of the sufferers. pus ' • iness has been almost entirely suspended, and all the timber;' boats, bridges, fences, ts,:c : in the neighborhood wire.set adrift and many houses de stroyed. The water is as high as it was •in the memorable flood of 1832. The Susquehanna, Juniata; and other streams I thin State; are swollen to an extraordinary height, and great damage has already been done, and much more apprehended. The public works, have been injureCbut to what extent cannot yet . be ascertained. Travelling along.the mail routes • has been suspended, owing to the bridges having • in many instances been carried off, and - the rnads 1 . overflowed. At Pittsburg, the Alleghany and Monongahela • were very high, and great damage apprehended.— The former was one foot higher than at the great • • flood in 1832. • In our immediate section the streams have done little damage that we can learn, but the heavy rains have filled the mines with water,—thoiigh I oecu;ling at this particular time, when operatilj in them have generally been suspended for the season, not sei..rnuch damage will be accomplished as would have ensued at any other season. The Schuylkill is filled and very turbulent, but we have yet to hear that any damage has bisenjlone 'along the line of canal. 157 The Schuylkill Navigation:—We learn that persons interested in this company, have sub scribed for a large portiOn of the loan salver_ tised for, to take up its floating debt. At the same time we regret to notice, an effort on the part of rival works, opposed to this improvement, to cripple its operations and depress its loans, by 'throwing them into market, and selling lbim at lciw rates, to prevent ilia .comPany , from the additional means required. Owing to a mis. understanding between the officers of One,of the City Banks, and. the President of the Company, !nine paper was piotested a few idayis ago=but was promptly taken up on the JollcUing day. This circumstance was industriously circulated, ati beCame the basis for all kinds of-, rumors, calulated to affect the credit of the company ! iiothilng but a -vent of knowledge of this great irriprovement,,and the immense resources of our region . , or the circulation and belief of the 'most improbable stories, could render the loans• of -the Coiopany so low as they now are even in the present state of the money market. We assert • fearlessly, that under judicious management,ihere • is no sanilar improvement in the country that is destined to do a better and more ,successful busi. ness Coal is now just as important to the public u bread—the people must have it, and the trade is iricreesing_so rapidly that hereafter both the canal and railroad will be kept busy to procure the necessary facilities for carrying the trade of thiti region to market. l!lext year we will furnish nearly if not qdite two million tons of Coal, and the canal can am will Carry, independent of all other trade, from air to eight hundred thOusand twig to market, if the necessary. boats and cars are procured in time for 'ithe approaching season. An investment, therefore, in t h e loans of • this company, even in the present high request of funds, we'consider the - greatest and safest speculation of the'day. It will not be long . before their loans run up to par er nearly so. • • .

The latter is from a portrait by Margaret Dillies, and we were panicutatly struck with it, for it is generally con ceded that we have good grounds for claiming the poet as one of us, and our pre-conceived impressions of him were not entirely erroneous. His mother was a sisterof Benjamin West, and after having done much to give strength to the genius of her brother, she was well qualified to rear a poet in her eon—a poet and a man.

There are eight engravings—all executed by Mr. Sartain. whose reputation as an Artist they fully sustain—illustrative of some of the most sublime -and interesting scenes of Scriptural history.

Dunn English' and C. G. Foster, Esq. the latter having retired from the City Items, lately commenced in that city. It is evident to us that Eng lish has a hand in it,—for the first thing that caught our eye was the following, which looses its wit in the et•I• dent malice that directed it : A Nice Job.,-We understand that Mr. E.

Fremont's Trial.—The trial of this gentleman is still progressing at Washington, but it is yet doubtful when it'will be brought to a close. It" , serves to point out one great evil, however, which our country will inevitably encounter in the policy she is now pursuing : and th!!: is, the expeUse, and trGuble, and shusearishig from the administration of our laws at so great a distance from the seat of Government. Our constitution has hitherto provided ample safe-guards against unhallowed ambition ; but nothing could check it if it exhibited itself—as it perhaps did, slightly, in the.government of Californtain far-off coun tries, where it would be impossible to reach the offenders with that promptness and determination which would attend them nearer home. A wise farmer desires no more land than be can properly till, and sound policy always prompts him to have his fields adjoining each other, and not cut off by those of his neighbors. And if he be stows his attention upon lands far off, those near borne would be neglected ;—if he appoints mans gera over the forma, they are apt to quarrel among themselves,—leave the laborers idle and confused, and involve the proprietor in trouble and 'expense. Thus will it be with Uncle Sam. He has now as much land as he can attend to, and when he gets New Mexico and California, Oregon, and Cuba, rind Canada, the old man will be dreadfully worried, and perhaps drop off sud deftly with brain fever; leave an estate involved id debt, which his poor nephews and-pretty nieces will have to liquidate, to save the memory of the old man from disgrace! /yetis verrons. laii Or Mr. Calhoun and the War.—John C. Calhoun, the great apostle of Southern Democracy, has defined his position on the Mexican war and the policy of the Administration, and avows him self hostile to both! Thus, one by one, all The great master.spirits of the age have come forward and expressed their opposition to the reckless pol icy which has marked the career of Mr. Polk.— Adams, Webster, Gallatin, Calhoun, Clay, Cor win, and hosts of others, whose opinions we are all accustomed to regard with the greatest respect, have all expressed themselves as opposed to the slaughter which, thrOugh the folly, if not wick edness of the Administration, has attended our efforts to "conquer a peace" and territory! • They are all, we believe, opposed to the acquisition of. Mexican Territory ; unless by purchase, and more especially any territory designed to perpetuate, slavery. The following resolutions were offered by Mr. Calhoun a few days ago, in the Senate of the United Saes. , They were laid over for further consideration : Resolved, That to conquer Mexico and to hold it either as a province or to incorporate it into our Ucion, would be inconsistent with the avowed ob ject for which the war has been prosecuted—a de parture from the settled policy of Government, in conflict with its character and genius, and, in the end subversive of our free and, popular institu- lions. el• Resolved, That no line of policy in the further prosecution of the!war should be adopted, which may lead to consequences so disastrous. (la' Melancholy Occurrence.-4130 1 celebrated Dr. Wainwright of New. York city, dim] a few days ago by an accident of very . extraordinary character.

The rule, if generally recognized, would throw into bankruptcy one-half of the fraternity, and in view of the misery it would entail upon those fel lowi who make a living by scissoring, we shall oppose ourselves to it until the Bankrupt law, operating per se over the editors oFthe United 'States, thatl be re-established by Congress !

FROM MAJOR DOWNING • • Headinlirserf, Maim arriatliitits:se Sas .1 Mita States, °crofter 25; ' Mr. Gales k Seaton: My dear old friends, Gineritl Scott and I find a good deal of bother s abotit getting out despatches !ththugh to: Vera Crui, or else you'd hear from ma oftener. • I ; , do think the President is too r bachward about clear ing out,thiS road from . here lo Vera'. Cruz, and keeping it open, and introducing RIO improvements into the country, that we stand aonthch - in need of here. He and Mr. Richie pretends to have constitutional scruples about it. and Beya the con stitution ilOnt allow of internal improvements, and Mr. Richie says the resolutions of '9B is dead agin it too, and, 'besides, Mr: Richie says these internal improvements is a Federal doctrine, and bei'd ways go agin 'em for that if nothin elite. But 'tis strange to me the President bas'nt never found out yet that where there's a will there's a atty, constitution or no constitution. All he's got to de is to call all these . thads round here in .Mexico " military roads," and then he'd have the eons& •tution on his - side. for every body knows tbe con stitution allows him to make military roads. I know the president is very delicate 'about fringing on the constitution. so I dont blame him so much for holding back about the internal improvements here in Mexico, though I dont think there's, any other part of the United States where they are needed more. But there's no need of spliting hairs about the roads; military roads isn't inter nal improvements, and he'S aright to make rnili. tiry roadeCas much as he pleases. And as them is just the kind of roads we rant here, and shall want for fifty years, (for our armies will have to keep marching about the country for fifty 'Tara before they'll be able to tame these Mexicans' and turn 'em into Americans,) it is confounded strange to tae that the President is sa behind hand about this business. • What's the use of our going on and annexin away down south here, if he. dont back us up and hold on to the slackl And ther'S no way to hold on to it but to keep these military roads open so cur armies can go back and forth and bring us in victuals and powder and shot and money. Here we've been,weeks and weeks since we annexed the city. f Mexico, waiting and holding on for the President :o send us more men and - more money, and tell us what to do next.- . This backwardness of the President since we got into the city of Mexico seems the more strange mine, considering. For. when he was fixing me off to come out here, and see if I could make a settle ment with-Santa Anna. l,tried to persuade him to let the armies tuild still while I was making the bargain. I told him he never could bring a man to 'reason or to trade when he was knocking him down all the, liine. l But I couldn't make him Seem to understand it. He stood to it his ,way . was the hest—ibe sword in one hand and peace stn tether. all the way along—a word and a blow, and the blow strays first. ' • • Why, Major Downing," says he, "if you want to reason a man into peace, that's another thing ; but if you want to conquer a peace, my way -is the only way. That's the way I begun this war,and that's the way I mean to carry ihout." • How so?" says I, " how did you begin the war io that way." " Why," says he, "Slidell was the word, 'and Taylor was the blow; and not only my friends, but even my enemies,admit that the blow come first." The President said that was the rule he had gone by all the way along, and he meant to stick to it; and not hearing any thing from him for so long, I'm afraid he'egut`a notion that peacets.eon quered. But that would he a mistake, if he has got such' a notion; for it itl'nt conquered, it's only scattered. It's a good deal as 'twas with Bill Johnson, when he . and I was boys, and he under took to conquer a : hornet's nest, expeetin to get lots of honey. Ile took a club and marched brave ly up to it and hit it on awful dig and knocked it into a thou-and Hinters. "There blast. -ye," says Bill, -I guess you're done tu now," as he begun to look round for the honey. But he:soon found %wasn't. conquered ; 'twas only scattered. And presently they begun to Hy et him and sting- him on all sides.—One hit him a dab on the arm, and another on his leg, and another in his face. At last Bill found he should soon be done tu himself iehe staid there, so he cut and run. "Hullo," say* I, "Bill, where's your honey." "Darn it all," says he, "if - I haint got no hon ey, I knocked their house to pieces ;• rye got that to comfOrt me !" I wish you would try to convince the Presi dent that 'tie only scattered herd; is n't, conquer ed, and „ he must give • the meant, to keep mo ving, orSwe shall get badly stung bime-by. If he only backs us' up well, I'll pledge myself that we'll carry out the campaign marked out in my last des patches, which would Wing us clear dowii to• Cape Horn in four or five years, and I'm very anxious to get there, it strikes me that 'would be such a good horn to hold on to in all dilemmas,-even if all the rest of the country went by the board. I dreamt !tether night that we had got through an nezin all North and South America;, and thetz I thought our whole country was turned into a mon strous great ship of war, and Cape Horn was the bowsprit and Mr. Polk the captain. And the captain was walking the deck with hiamocith shut, and every body was looking at him and wonder ing what he was going to do next. Attest he sung out, "Put her about; we'll sail across now and take Europe and Asha and Africa in tow— dont stop for bird's-egging round among the West India Islands ; we can pick them up as. we' come back—crowd all sail now and let her have it." Away we went : I never see a ship sail faster. The wind begun to blow harder and harder, and then it come on an awful storm, and at last it blowed a perfect hurrycane. The 'sails begun to go to linters, and she rol.ed as if she Was going to upset. ; Some of the oldest and best sailors among the crew told the captain we should all go to de struction if-he did'nt take in sail, and furl end clew up, and get things tight, and bring her head 1 round to the wind. Mr. Richie was standing by I his side, and says he, "Cept. Polk, them is all' nothing but Federal lies; as I've shown hundreds of times, not only in the Union, but years and years ago in the Enquirer. Them fellers only I want to give aid and Comfort to the enemy ; don't pay any attention to 'ens:: Here'a the chart, (he held up in his hands the resolutions 0f.'98,,,) sail . by this, and I'll risk her ,on any tack and'in all weathers." • Oa we went, lickity.split, the hurrycanelllowed harder, the timbers begun to creak, the sails split; to ribbons, some of the spars begun, to snap and, go by the board, and then all at once there VMS a terrible cry “, breakers ahead I" The Captain ' then jumped -as if he was wide awake ; and, says he, "call all hands and put her about." But when the officers came to give orders to the crew, not one of them would mind or pay attention. The whole crew was in mutiny, and the 'ship was so large end the crew was such a mixed up mestsof different sorts of folks that there was more, than twenty different mutinies all at once in different parts of the vessel. ' .
