But the seed:thuesown did not fall on barren soil or in rocky pined!".

' Had they but made the stone battle in 1E57 which-they ,are now nicking under the lead of Donotss, Lecompton and the English bill would both have perished' in the dens in which . they were conceived; Kansas would long ago have been admitted into the Union; the Democratic party would have been united from Maine to Texas, and the candidate of the party.would have achieved an easy victory in November: But let us be content with what welitin.,' Let nri 'ponOndidate' ourselves Upon the misetd prorptot, and watt for the good time that:ll sure to come. . , Our . intelligence from the Southern States enables us' to- declare, emphatically, that the reign 'of the fire-eaters Is over, and that th e 'young men of therSonth, who have so long ,beerikept hi the 'background* the Huivrzes and Mesons, of Virginia ; the Osas, and Mciltruite, and BEZTII, of South Carolina ; the CLAYS and FITZPATRICKB, of Alabama the D.iviszs and Banicsnazze, of Mississippi ; the Sarnzats, of Louisiana; the Mammonism, of Tennessee ; 'the Gmins, of Missouri, and the 7oixesois, of Arkaiteas—an oligarchy more remoiselesitand monopolizing than this coun try has ever seen in its' darkest days—hive girded on the armor; and are resolved to fight :the• goOd Algid, at all and at every hazard.

WASHINGTON COHRUIiOItHENON. Letter froM 460ecasionah*, Ecerreeeendenoe of The PreILI iVASHINGTON, August 23, 1860. • The long midsummer dead calm, under whioh trade, fashion, and politics have languished, is about passing away, and all classes are looking forward to the new sanitation whioh is soon to disturb this listleas and lifeless capital. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will pay his respects to the Pre. sidenti some time during September. This event, looked for so eagerly by our fashionable, people, will no doubt rally a large crowd, and give us a eitiporary 'excitement. The families now absent t the different spridga will return to participate n thorreception, and as , theßritish legation here 6 very popular,,extensive and expensive arrange- Manta will be made to make the occasion worthy of the country which is to be honored in the person of the heir apparent. L' Nowhere in this broad Union to the diplomatic r foreign example more worshipped then here. If ere is an aristeormey in the United States, it May be found in the old families who live in and about ,Wisaitington. , Mr y Buchanan is himself 1 a 'fah , re. Oseentative of this aristocracy. He ,stepped from the American mission , in :England almost directly into the 'Presidential• chair, and had previously Made' the acquaintance of many of the?leading statesmen of Europe, during hie resident,e at the Court of fit: Petersburg, under the Administration Of General Jackson. ' ; ; The P,t112041' MS been affectionately confided to his oar, by the Queentnother, and will, of course, he warmly welcomed by our Chief Magistrate. Miss Lane is herself well acqnainted.with her Ma jest", and tiith the ladies of the court circle, and, doubtless, with young Lord Renfrew. , i Where the' reception is to take place, and ax ially when, nobody is 'able to say. Who is to be admitted and who excluded hive not yet been de termined upon, but the ladies are in s' flutter of excitement 'about' it, and when the programme is made public there will be any number of disap pointments, and, on the part of the lucky ones, any number of luxurious purchases, in order to give eclat to the event. Jenkins will, no doubt, be On the' ground ,in all his glory. He will describe the dreams, thipedigree, the apPtiaranoes, and all the ceremonies,' with his accustomed spirit. There pan, of course, be no procession, as in the ease of the Japanese, and, as the young notability moves With, all the etiquette of the British court sur rounding him, persons desiring to be presented will be compelled to pass through the routine ob served in Canada ; but this will not prevent alike the patrician and the parvenu from besieging the gentleman having charge of the Prince for intro ductions to hit royal person. It is the first time, I believe, in the history of this country that any one So near a crowned head has been presented to the first officer of this republic. Mr. Buchanan well understands the art of pre serving the dignity of his office in tendering the hospitalities of the White House to such a visitor. During his realdOnce at the Court of St. James as American Minister, Ins legation received many graceful attentions from her Majesty, and although it hes been stated (owing, perhaps; to the fact that he had the management of some difficult questions,) that he was unpopular at court, it is very true that Miss Lane was a great favorite, and that her Majesty bestowed upon her many special at tentions. All accounts concur in stating that the young gentlemen who in due course will be mon arch of the British, dominions, is modest, well-be haved, acute in observation, and exceedingly gene rous in his dispOsition. His first little speech in Canada was signifloant in the foot that he referred to that portion of her Melody's dominions as a c; free ' 1 country, an observation all the more GI. presaiireinalmnah mit had doubtless been prepared for Mm, and was read from the manueeript.- Those who teem to direct his movements are giving him ti fair, insight into Canada, which, in his ease, may be Milled the vestibule of the great temple into 'which he is to be introduced, and he ought to be gratified that be has been so well organized for the contrast is store for him. ' Be malt soon sea what a free country is ! He will open his young eyes as he passes over the great bridge which has married Canada to the United States, and as he is escorted over the vast and almost interminable chain of railroads which begins at that point and radiates to every corner of the Ittipublio, he will .receive impressions never to be eradicated from his mind. There is more in this visit of the Prince, of 'Weise to the'United States, considered in reference to the future, than appears at the first glance. He comes at that period of life just before entering manhood, when the mind receives ideas, and snore generously and readily than at any other time. Treated kindly by everybody, be will ' look .with the eyes of youth and health upon everything he sees. He will behold a country conquered from his ancestors by, those who were born in other lands, and he trill see the progress of principles which are constantly assailed by the men who sur round him now, and who are hereafter to manage his adminietration of the British Government. With his opportunities of education and experience he ought to be able to judge for himself, and it may be that more than one useful lesson will be taught to him, and more than one independent, noble thought planted In hie mind during his journey. One :hundred years ago the European monarch who would have sent his son into a free country would bare been regarded as a madman ; but now, as marking the advance of liberal principles and a refined civilisation, the woman queen of England confides her atomiser to the freest people upon earth, and permits him hi visit those who are in the habit of uttering their thoughts without fear, and who conceive it to be their noblest privilege to attack and to criticise; their rulers. But no one loses by generous confidence in those he respects, and if the future king of England carries -back better ideas of the American people, he will cer tainly leave' behind him a warm and generous dis position towards himself and those he will be in the habit of calling his " subjects." You people in Pennsylvania ought to bullet upon the Prince making a tour from Pittsburg to Harris burg, and so to Baltimore. If he is carried from Cincinnati to =Baltimore be will have no oppor tunity to see the. Alleghenies and oor 'unequalled Pentuilvaula Central, unquestionably the most stupendove and perfect railroad work in the world. The Baltimoreans are on gut woe, andtintend to swore the cortege for their Baltimore and Ohio road if they can. John Edgar Thomson, of the Pennsylvania Central, isa grestfriend of the Presi dent, the latter being largely interested in the Pennsylvania Central, and be ought at once (if he has not already donee)) address Mr. Buohanan at Bedford, that he may suggest to the gentlemen having charge of the Prime to take the Penney). verde Central as the proper route to Washington. It is proposed on the pert of Southern men to invite the Prince to make a tour through haome of the slave States, in order that he may have an op portunity to see thepeoullar Institution, and co that he may assure Lord Brougham, and other anti slavery advocates in louden, that slavery in the United States is not nearly so bed a thing as they represent it to be. If he Could prolong the visit up to the period when the negroes gather the cot. ten, some time in October, be would probably see the colored population of the South in its most in teresting impact. The announcement that Mr. Forrest intends making his first appearance in his great character of Hamlet at the Holliday-Street Theatre, Balti more, on Monday evening neat, lies induced many to prepare to be present on that interesting oc easion. He has ohosen a character in which be IS nearly as neeemfal uin Richellettifiebeth, or King Lear. Hie represeitation is eminently origi nal, as it gives him an opportunity to display his gentile in a quiet character. Many who are dis posed to doubt his power, unleas he personates one that is' masculine and 'boisterous, will now be en abled to convince themselves to the contrary. There is no scene in all of hle great conceptions more magnificent than hie very first in this won derful play. Holliday-street Theatre is hardly large enough for the volume of his voice, but suffloiently so as the beginning of the trial that le before him.

Mr. Love, the poly phonist, a gentleman of great natural power and much cultivated skill, is giving great eatiefaotion to the crowds who see and hear him, every evening, at Concert Hall. We hope that the juveniles (who carefully read The Press, every morning, before papa and mamma hive come dawn to breakfast i ) will remind their parents that Mr. Love gives an afternoon performance on Saturday. By the way, there will also be a Ma. tinioe at the Arch-street Theatre, on the same after noon. loudly, the Continental (late National) Theatre was opened, on Wednesday evening, by a capital set of performers, called Oarnoross do Sharpley's Minstrels. „They are in 'the Ethiopian line, and 'rank Brower, who possesses an infinite quantity of natural humor, is the " bright particular star" of this tioupe.

THE PRESS.--14-MAIALPHIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1860. BENOYINATIoN OF NON. JOON T NIXON The Firs) Congressional distriot of New Jersey met In Convention, at Camden, yesterday. Dr.' F. Leming, of, Oars 'Nays waa *howl preetgeWsi and John D. ihrialltrOod, of 'Gloiseestek ootintY I M. oretaq. On motion of Alexander Wants, it was **red that Hon. John T. Nixon be declared the nnatil;• moue oholee of tide Convention; whteh prevailed amidst enthusiastic! applause. A committee on its olutiona was appointed, and reported the following, which were adopted with deafening cheers: Resolved, That the course of our Represented,* in Congress, the Hon. John T. Nixon, meets:talt hearty approval and endorsement. Resolved, That bur nominees for the Puglia* and 'Vice' Prealdemby, Lincoln ' and Hatolinj are worthy the entire and earnest support of the Orppo 'Mon of New Jersey. Resolved, 'I hat we greet with satisfaction the unanimous renomination of Mr. Nixon by the Con vention, with full confidence that his future will be as acceptable as his past. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to the exer cise of all fair and honorable means to secure the election of our candidates. A committee having been,appointed to wait on Mr. Nixon, returned and presented the nominee to the Convention. As he entered the room, the Convention rose en snow and greeted him with cheer'. Afterthe applause had somewhat subsided, Mr. Nixon 'said , that he accepted the, nomination eo unanimously tendered him, with- mingled feel ings of gratifloation, and regret. Re felt gratified that his past course merited the approval of his constituents, and regretted that the nomination had not fallen on one better qualified and more deserv ing of the position. In the old Greaten States, it was a maxim that no man belonged wholly to himself. 'Be to-day recognised the truth of that maxim audit' wide applicability, and in that spirit he accepted the nomination, to aid to the utmost of his ability in the furtheranoe of their principles, Ile appeared before them, in obedience to their eall, not to tire them with a speeoh, as they would, no doubt, hear enough of him in their, own re /peal,e townships before the eanviai closed ; but he desired to say hero, and before this Convention so that there 'should be no misconception as to his course, that, so far as God gave him strength, his best energies should be devoted to the election of Lincoln and Hamlin. !Applause.), A gentleman bad asked him bow it was that he, as an American, should support the Mileage nominees, and ho had replied, because there was no American oandidatti before the people. A party of very respectable, honest, and intelligent men bad assembled at Bal timore and nominated John Bell—not as an Ame risen, but as a conservative man, with the Union rot their platform, and as the basis of a new party. , No man ever stood on a bettor Union platform than does Abraham Lincoln on the one made for him at Chicago. 4 lie had been one winter at Washington, and a pretty sharp time they had of it, too, and eepeolally in the contest for Speaker. Though from the first day of the strife, he was fully satisfied that both the North and the South would have to turn to the middle ground of New Jersey, and rely on that old conservative and Union-loving State to relieve than of their dig/113111Sn. It afforded him much pleasure to say here, that no man had done more to place Gov. Pennington in the Speaker's obair than lion. John Sherman, of Ohio. For weeks be fore its aooomplishinent he had desired tht.t result, and with Gov. Pennington there, and John Sher man as leader of the Route of Representatiies, that body bad , acoomplished more of legislation for the people than any previous session for years._ If good legislation had failed, it was chargeable to a Democratic President and a Democrat° Se nate. The former the people were about to re move, and the disposal of the latter was a mere gnesilon of time, as they were fast dropping out, one after another, and it would not be long before the people would pleats a majority there to strength en Mr. Lincoln's Adminlitration. It was one of the gratifying signa of the times that the people could no longer be humbugged, and led by the nose by mere politioal tricksters. The day had gone past when they of New Jersey 'mold he misled Into any and every kind of combinations, snob as were now being formed, at a sawlike of all principle; and while his predictions, made in 1858, had been fully verified, be would say here boldly to•day, that Mr. Lincoln's vote in the State would exceed that of all his competitors. Mr. Nixon 'poke for some time on State and the Convention adjourned. The Bedford-street Mission. Mn. EDITOR i In reading your notioes of 'the condition of Bedford street and its neighborhood, both in the editorial and reporters? column, I have, felt gratified that at least the attention of The Press and the authorities is becoming awakened to the importanoe of doing something for the destitute and outcast who . " stay" thereabouts. Butt have also wondered that in all these notioem and articles, nothing has been said of the great work dene, and being done, for those "wretched ones," by the " Young Men's Central Home Mission." The ex• tensive and arduous labors of their missionary, Rev. B. T. Sewell; the operations, of their day and Sabbath schools; their distribution of the bounty of many of our citizens, in the form of clothing, fuel, and medielne ; their employing a yhysteian ,to attend the „sick, ,and allordtng re • lief in many other ways, all oall for the notice of f not only The Press and authorities, but of all our citizens. I believe but very few of our Citizens are aware that from two to three hundred children aro being •eduoitted,and whenever it is poulble sent to good homes in the country, under the earpiece of this noble misty; and this last I believe tribe tie only reliable And permanent means of reformation for thesi " outcasts of society." Visit the schools yourself, sir—invite the citizens to go—this society should be supported and enoonr• aged by The Press and all who would "do unto others as they would be done by."

TERRIFIC RAIN-STORM IN THE TWENTY-FIRST WARD. MANAYUNK THE HEAVIEST SUFFERER THE TOWN FLOODED: Damage to Mills, Factories, and Other Properties. NO LIVES LOST.. Narrow Escape of the Innate® of a Yesterday was a day to be remembered by the inhabitants of the Twentprirst ward, particularly those of the borough of Manayank. This town, it will be recollected, is a place of great manufac turing importance, the greater portion of the popu lation being employed at the numerous cotton and woollen mills, which aro built on the banks of the Bohnylkill. - The town extends about one mile in length, along Main street, which is on level ground, ad joining the canal, whieh at this point is navigated on the eastern side of the. Soltuylkill, in front of Manaynnk. Most of the other streets run at right angles with Male street, towards a high hill, fully 150 feet high, which forms the back ground of the town. These cross streets are very steep, so much so that it is almost like attempting to travel up on the outside of one of the great pyramids of Egypt. The houses on the top of the hill generally suffered little damage, but those on the lull-lido caught the full benefit of the storm. The rain commenced tp come down in torrents about, three o'olook yesterday morning, and con tinued with extraordinary violence till nearly live o'olook. It was a terrific rain. The people were awakened from their beds, to discover their cellars and lower stories flooded, with a strong probability that some of the . housea would come down over their heads, the foundations being weakened by the rush of waters. As morning dawned, the gorges or ravines down the hillsides presented the appearance of a moun tain torrent, dashing and roaring down towards the &hayloft!, carrying largo masses of earth, stones, and almost every kind, of rubbish with it. Levering street, at its head, is formed on one side of almost perpendicular masses of rook, called the "Dripping rook," riling ,to the height of nearly 100 feet. On the opposite aide are dwell tag houses. The bed of the street is usually at an angle of forty-five degrees. The accumulation of water on the high ground above came peering down this ravine, and suOh Wall its force that it washed a hole on the aide of ' the street neat to the rook fully thirty feet wide, and nearly as deep, forming a chum somewhateresembling the excava• tions made at stone quarries. TER TRACK OP THAI TOURIST Levering street has a culvert near its lower end, designed to carry eff the surplus water directly into the &hey*lll. This culvert was built under th., canal, forming an aqueduct. The mass of wa ter dewing into the culvert was more than it could tarry off, and a large portion of the rubbish being carried down into the opening, the culvert buret near the canal. The - necessitated the closing of the canal and the drawing off of the water, which wan done early in the morning. - The flood rushed down Levering street till it reached Wood. when it took a southwesterly di rection, spreading through the yards, cellars. end lower dozier of the dwelling house, on Grape &treat. THI INHABITANTS PHIPAN.ING TO 1111OTX. Many of the oitisens residing on Grape street hurriedly, packed up their furniture, and, with their families, went out into the street, tiering that the houses would fall, owing to the foundations being weakened. - HASSID or AMITE WASHIID ntro THI OANAL While thee, menu were witnessed on Grape and Levering streets, Washington street, which faces opposite the canal, in the northern part of the toen, was flooded to as great an extent u the streets above mentioned. A large map of earth was washed into the canal, nearly filling it at that point, leaving a huge gully on Washington street. The water ran into the cellars of nearly all the homes adjacent; seareely one escaping. • RIPKA'S DrILL FLOODED. , Mr. Joseph Ripka has live mills or facto - ries in close proximity to each other, about the centre of the town. The one located on Main street, between it and the canal, had Eve feet of water in the wea ving room on the basement floor. Being built on uneven ground, the side next Main street bad small cellar windows, while the opposite side had windows of the ustdelse, opening on the coma The water flowed into the mill by the cellar win dows on the Main-street side, Unit reached a depth of four feet on the floor. This might have been prevented to some extent, but the watchman, when he saw the water pouring in the window, In his excitement, forgot to open the doors Ewing the canal, when the water would have run out into the canal as fast at it came in on the other side. There were tasty pewer•looms on this floor, all of which were more or loss injured; the chafe' in each being wet and damaged. Yesterday, Mr: Ripka's'workmett were gamed in clearing out the weaving-roes; and drying , the material saved from the overflow. All Mr B.'s mills have been stopped, in consequence of a want of water as they all derive their supply from the canal. Mr. Ripka estimates his loss at about $5OO. STOPPAGM QV OMR MILLS An the mills supplied with water from the
