The destruction of ahoy!, four miles of the Red River Railroad will be a minter of very great importance to the public. as well as of gieat loss to its proprietor, Mr Thos K Smith. &Vend bowies in town have been reduced to complete wrecks. The house of Mr Wm Mills in this place, is undermined and completely wrecked. The Pres' ry terien Church is so •much damaged as to render it ditubtful whether the damage can be repaired without tearing it down and erecting a uew one, if it waits to bitorn down without falling of its own accord. Mr. A Carnal, another of our citizens, lost a valuable • mote and two mules. Mr NVells, also, as we have been informed, had a negro woman drowned. The •dWellitig of Judge Cummins is also much damaged.

The loss in the country by thedestruction of ereek meet be immense; but at present we have no means of forming any estimate. From present ap pearance!, the cotton crop on Red River will not be much more than one third, if indeed it reaches a third anti average. The richest cotton lands are, gener ally, speaking, on the banks of the river, and the ne wer:Am payees which traverse the country,.from the seriu b of Red River to theirift, have been overflown. AU the country back, from here to Bayou Brceuf, has been cornpletell inundated, and we will venture to as sect,tiutt there' is nut a range of country in the United Slates better adapted to the growing of cotton; and if tkeriestruction above has been so great as it has been here and in the country back of and below us, crops will fell short several millions of dollars.

CLAY AND THE BANK.—That those who vote for Mr Clay for President vote fur a U S Bank, is a fact which Mr Clay himself will not attempt to deny, though some of his friends affect to deny it. Let those who doubt the truth of the above fact read Mr Clay's Speech, delivered in the Senate of the United States. Februa ry 19, 1838, in which he says, after discussing the currency question: "But the true and ONLY efficacious and permanent remedy, I solemnly believe, is to be found in a BANE Or THE UNITED STATE& We ore told that such a Bank is fraught with indescribable danger, and that ' the Government must in the sequel get possession of this bank or the Bank of the Government. I oppose to these intriginary terrors the example deducible from English history. There a Bank has existed since the year 1694, and neither has the Bank got posses. aion of the Government nor the Government of the Bank. They have existed in harmony together, both conducing to the prosperity of that great country, and they have so existed and so contributed, because each has avoided cherishing towards the other that wanton and unneceseary spirit of hostility which was unfortu• nately engendered in the LATE PRESIDENT or THE UNITED STATZIO - In apeakieg of the Batik of the United States, he "The administration of that bank had been without serious fault. it bad given no just offence to the Gov ernment, towards which it had faithfully performed every financial duty. Under its able and enlightened President it hod fulfulled every anticipation. which had been formed by those who created it. President Jackson pronounced the edict that it must fall, and it did fall against the wishes; of an immense majority of the people of the United States, against the convictions of its utility entertained by a large majority of the States and to the prejudice of the beat interests of the whole country." What claims upon the ..mnfidence of American dem ocmts has that politician, who in this free country at tempts to press upon the people a U S Bank, by quo ting the example of the Btitish Government. A man must be as faithless to our free institutions as he is ig norant of the intelligence and virtue of the citizens, who parades the Bank of England as an example fur Wbo that knows any thing, dues not know tk.at that Bank was originally instituted to carry on a war with France, that the Bank became a part of the Government, and has ever since its establishment been closely allied to and formed a part of the British mon archy. It is in fact a concentration of the monied ar istocracy in alliance with the Government, already be yond the control of the people. Its immense power maybe estimated from the fact that from 1797 to 1823 it suspended specie payments—that with a monied capital of eleven millions of pounds sterling it for many years loaned to the government a sum ranging from 10 to 28 millions of pounds sterling—that the average pro.. fits of the stockholders in the shape of dividends has been nearly three times the current rate of interest in England--that being a creditor of the government to an immense amount, it obtains the control of the pub lic debt and the public. taxes—that the fate of the government is dependent upon the credit and fate of the Bank. This is the state of things to which Amer ican Republicans as referred to by Mr Clay as desira ble in this republican country. This example in all its enormity is pompously quoted by him as fit for imita tion in this Union. With such a power in close union with the General Government, Coons and Democrats might hold their public meetings and politiciansmight make their speeches—these together with the annual elections would be harmless, nay, worse, idle pageants got up to be controlled, regulated and moulded by the concentrated aristocracy of wealth with the command of millions, the power over the currency, and an over reaching and gri ding influence entrenched behind cor porate powers and corporate irresponsibility. American democrats , will you sell your clear bought rights to this dictator? Will you submit by voluntary degradation to become thrs willing instruments in the bands of this apostate from your principles to work your own destruction? No, never.

S L Carpenter, MEAN AND PETTY M•LIGNITY.- - If the history of the world can show a coterie of more mean, petty and malignant tyrants, than the whig majority in the Sen ate, we have not been able to find it. The last Globe cantains a list of 44 nominations which have been' re- acted by that majority, and this forms but a small part of the number they have vented their sphmn upon. No good political reason can be given for this coum of rejecting nominations. The only excuse given, is n desire to vex and sinnoy the President, with whom they wish to maintain a bitter personal quarrel.

A ratification meeting was held there last week, a t which citizens from all parts of the county were pres ent, and all brought the most cheering accounts of the harmony and confidence that prevailed in their neigh borhoods. The meeting having ascertained that WILSON W• CANDLESS, of our city, was in Butler. be was loudly called for, and with the promptness of .a good demo crat., be responded to the call in a powerful speech in favor of the democratic candidates. We find in the Butler Herald the following notice of Mr M'Candless' speech WILSON M'CANDLESS This gentleman, whose name heads the Democratic Electoriel Ticket in this State, was in our town last week; and we must say, we were never better enter• tained in oar life, than we were with his speech deliv ered in the Democratic meetingheld on Tuesday even ing, and also with his speech delivered before the Democratic Association in the Grand Jury room on Wednesday evening following. We are certain,there was nut a democrat present who was notwell pleased. So effectly did be use up cooltions and hard cider,that there is not now to be found a grease spot of either in these parts. His ipeech was a dose of Polk-berry juice that will physic the Whigs so effectually before November comes, that they will be glad to lay acid.• all the ridiculous humbugs with which they deceived the people in 1340. Mr M'Candless has won for him self many friends, even among those who are political ly opposed to him. His easy, good-humored man ner of speaking, together with his gentlemanly deport. ment in every respect. has placed him, at least, high in the estimation of the bone and sinew of Butler coun ty. His remarks before the Democratic kisixtiati9n were of the most happy kind, as was abundantly testi fied by the loud and et.thu-tastic shouts of applause, sent forth by the many who had assembled. Indeed it was a token that the democracy of this county were up and doing— that they were alive to the work, and in ecstaries at hearing him who heads the Democratic Electoral Ticket, coming thus boldly forth to vindicate popular rights. Mr M'Candless will carry with him the entire confidence of the Democracy of this county. Hisboldand fearless advocacy of the rights of the people cannot fail to obtain fur him, as it should do, lasting public esteem. arWe see from proceedings published, that there has been an enthusiastic meeting of the democrats of Summit county, Ohio. in favor of M Vulk and Dallas. Ihe meeting was held at Akron. and was opened by a salute of 26 guns, and organized by the appointment of Me tars Cummins and Chamberlin, chairman and Secretary. The meeting was eloquent ly addressed by R. P Spalding. late Speaker of the House of Representatives, Gen L Ni Pierce, and Dr E l Crosby, original friends of Mr Cass, and Mr Bliss, of Mr Van Buren—all acquiesced in and supported the nominations of Messrs Dallas and Polk. The meet ing then adopted a spirited and cheering set of resolu tions in favor of the candidates of the patty. We re gret that we have not room for a lively and interesting account of the enthusiastic demonstration made at the public meeting at Akron, in favor of the candidates nominated for President and Vite President, by the Baltimore convention. When men so distinguished for talents, eloquence and sound democracy, as are Gen Pierce and Mr Spalding, "gird on their political armor" and resolve as all the leading democrats of Ohio have done, "to battle for Polk, Dallas and Tod:" we think we have a right to repeat, by their authority, and in their name, the assurance of "Wilmer,. and tri umphant success." The democrats are fully organ ized and firmly united throughout Ohio, and the roar of the "Young Lion of the West" will be loud and deep, and it wilibe heard far and near.
