The Large Store or Mattson & Co. was
filled with water above the counters.
There were many other cases of indi
vidual loss which we can not particularise.
At the flue Mone Lock Hause No. 2. on
the Schuylkill Navigation opposite Young'
Landing theewaler made a tremendous
breach around the south side of the b.nld
,n.', filling it to the second storey, when a
tjge canal boat came floating don the
current with such force as to send u di
rectly throufeh the centre of the house,
opening for itself a passage through the
solid stone walls on etin-r siue iu6..
ihey were formed of pasteboard.
The flood, as tl gathering sire..g.
n,nae.swent away the two Bridges whic
paa the Schuylkill nearly opposite the
Mand Furnace in this Borough. Several
malt building on the Wand and a number
f canal boats Ijiog in the canal shared
the 6a me fate.
The Storehouse ol Capt. Jis. Downey.
pposi.e his house, coutaining considerable
hay and other articles, was carried entire
rom its foundation, and dashed to paves
I tist below.
About nine o'clock the D .m .r n Tumi

uhtch formed an immense feeder for the

..'I description.
The waters rolled down in a volui.ie ap
parently twenty fet high, sweeping across
the railroad, canal and river, thus filling
the entire valley and rushing down with
i, resistible force, iuvolving boa's, buildings,
,.nd everything in its course, in one com
mon ruin. Among thee were lh Turn
ike Bridge, a powerful structure across
:ba Schuxlkill, at the lt.-ad.ng Railroad
Depot; the heavy iron Railroad Bridge,
)jt below, which was carried down the
.nrrent at least two mi, ano nine oe-
,r.g houses, together with the stone Lock
House No. 6, directly above the Turnpike
-bridge. . .
Passing downward, this immense torrent
carried with it everything that cam in jts
way. The substantial stone building owned
cud occupied by Geo. Campbell, on the
:tw Turnpike, a short ditance above the
Toll gate, shared a similar fate, and the
t irge stone building just below the ete,
i.wned and occupied bj Benjamin Kiine,
v as utterly obliterated, hardly a stone be-
ifg left to mark the spot where but yester-
.'ay stood lhe M Fraileysville Hotel."
A rrile or sj htlow, the house,
f.rge new barn, and substantial saw-mill
f Mrs. Mary Minnich were all swept
a ay, leaving not a vestige behind. In
house of Mrs. Minnich, and the
.!..ee previously name.!, the inmates had
i .inlv lime to escape with their lives, with
. saving single article of furniture,
'-ir nwney or anything .else of value.
.-' :ch was the consternation and dismay of

mained until her brother, Mr. Abraham

ten a number of persons were drowned.
The wife of John Conner, Watchman at
ibe Railroad Bridge above the latter place,
was among the victim. At Schuylkill
Haven the Canal wharves or landings
ere swept away and with them some six
thousand tons of Coal. The Railroad
Sride was injured somewhat, and great
damage was done in the lower part of the
town. Philip Boyer made a very narrow
escape from drowning, having been carried
off on a pile of lumber, but got into a tree
and was saved.

j Sehu far up as Tamaqua, the flood
was leanuily ccstructive. 1 l.e liailrond
Bridge across the Scluy Ikill at the former
place was destrojed.
At Sertoli's Iron Works just nbove Pvirt
Clinton, the Forge, Grist Mill, large Crick
M msion House and a number of smaller
houses were carried awsy, and seme fif
ireu nr fixtct n lives lost. Michrul Ilart
ii.hii, i lie Miller, with hi wife and cyht
cliildren, all found wn'ery graves ! The
s Foreman, named Brei.-h, with Lis wife
j and two or il.ree rhildrrn, met a similar
fate! A II the houses on the low ground
from the Forge to the mouth of the Little
Schulkt: in the lower part of Fort Clinton
were carried away, and we are informed a
cotisiderub'e number of lives were lost.
The Turnpike Biidge across the Little
Schu)lkit!, above Purl Clinton, was also
destroyed, and from that to Tannqna, a
listitnce of twenty miles, we learn that not
a single bridge was left standing.
Ileckla Forge, the property of Mtsn.
Young and Jones, on the Li'tle Schuj Ikill,
about eight mile from Orwigsbiirfl, presen
ted a most puinful and heart rending scene,
no less tliun twelve persons, rr.cn, women
and children having been drowned. The
Dad. and Race were entirety destrojed;
four u limit houses were sit epl away entire,
and several others seriously injured. The
Mansion House occupied by Mr. Jones,
as in iom incut danger, and he hastil)
removed his family to a place of safety.
Three children, daughters of Joseph Cove
ley, who had floated down the stream on
some portion of the building, and ludged
again-t a tree about two m.les below the
Forge, were rescued on Monday n:glt
about 12 o'clock. It is well woriliy of
remaik that the eldest of ihese girls, wiih
energy and presence of mind truly asinn-it-hing,
clung to her little sisters during the
tedious and perilous hours they remained
on the tree, and thus saved them, although
their mother perished befoie ihcir eyes!
O.i Tuesday morning another little girl
was taken from a tree near the same place,
jon which she had been perched for ab' Ut
'ii hours!
At Tiimsipiri, the destruction of life and
property, so far as we can learn, a even
more fearful and heart rending than at any
other p int we have n imed. Altm st the
entire town as submerged, and in some
instances to the second stories and even to
lhe roofs of the houses. The accounts
vary as to the number of lives lost, from
thirty to fifty, and of the houses destroyed,
from forty to scveniy-fivc 1 We nrc in
formed lliut the house of Mr. Foster, B ack
smith, wi;hhis ititire family, (excrpt him
self) numbering in all tixleen persona, was
carried down the current bodily, and trm
smil prrithrd ! .' The Rev. Mr. Oherfclds,
Germnn Lu'hcren Clergyman, was dion
edju attempting to save a family whose
house was swept away, and all perished ! !
The new Brick dwelling house erie'ed the
present season by Wm. Taggait, Kq.,
was entirely d' molished, thuugh his finnl)
ere all saved.
Oa the West Branch of the Schuj Ikill
and its tributaries, from Minersville to
Schu Ikill Haven, although the fl ud whs
very considerable, the damage was com
paratively trifling.
The Blue Moun'ain Dam, above Ham
burg, gve wn .causing n most destructive
deluge below, and sweeping every Brrlue
across the Si huylkiil from that place to
Philadelphia.
The probability is now that ihere will
be no Coal fent by Canal from either
Potlsville or Manoh Chunkor the balance
of the seaon, and none by Railroad from
here for at least two weeks to come.
Should this prove to be.the case.the supply of
Coal in market must necessarily be con
siderably deficient, while prices will prob
ably rule higher thin they have been for
many years.
At Tamaqua a man lost his wife and
four children in the flood. Site bid him
farewell from the window.
The Schuylkill Haven Map says :
A woman was seen passing with the
current with her head above water but fast
between two logs. And another with a
babe in her arms clinging to a bundle of
hay. The frail wupport however was suf
ficient until she came to the dam at this
place, where she sank beneath the waves.
Another passed so near the shore lhat a
tea fool pole would have saved her, but she
was not seen until right upon us, and ii
were worse ihan madness to spiing in the
river with the hope to save her. Others
are reported to have floated by, but these
we have thought were best authenticated
On the Lehigh the water was four or five
feet h'ghcr than high water mark, sud
much property was swept away but no lives
lost.
Along the North Branch in Luzerne
and Wyoming counties mills and bridges
were swept off, the canal greatly injureJ,
the roads made impassable, and two of lhe
inclined planes on the White Haven Rail
Road near Wilksbarre destroyed. It will
take at least three weeks to repair the
North Branch Canal.
In Lancaster county, bridges and mills
were carried off, and destroyed, end much
property lost on the line of countty from
York to Baltimore.
In New Jersey the freshet was severely
felt in the destruction of property but only
one Ii :e lost
A very heavy storm of rain prevailed
about lhe same time over the lower part o!
Virginia, and most of North Carolina,
aud the los of the farmers was so heavy
that a scarcity of bread Hull", is apprt ben
ded. On the Friday before the rain in the
Schuylkill region, a tremendous gale was
raging in the Norlhwcs', rebelling from
Lake Erie across Lake Michigan, and (he
whole Northern part of Ohio, Indiana end
Illinois were flooded by the unprecedented
rains.
Horrid Affair. La;l weik we prom
ised to give further particulars in regard to
the d fii'Mil'T between John Henry and
George Hoffman, which resulted in the
death of the former. It appears that Hen
ry and his son were returning in the eve
ning from ihcirwork. On their way tbev
came across Hoffman, who was ploughing
in his field. HofTmm accused Henrv's
son of stealing his peaches, which brought
lorth some angry words from Henry, and
tinally led to an encounter. The boy im
mediately ran home and informed his moth
er of the facl ; she hastily repaired to the
spot, but unfortunately, found her husband
lying on the around unn ! A Jury of
Inij'.icst was summoned, Hoffman was im
mediately arrested and upon the report of
the Jjry, was sent lo the County Jail, at
vVilkesbnrre, to await his trial at the next
Court. Berwick Telegraph, Sept. 5.

Lewlsburs Newspapers.
Sonic time tiuec we gave a short history
of the laud titlus in this Borough, aud
now proceed to give a brief history of the
various newspapers that at different aud
short periods have here found a locul hab
itation and a name. This account is
doubtless iucuuiplctc, in soiue respects,
but is as perfect as our present sources of
information will permit.
First on tho Let comes " Tlir Xt irs Let
ter," a small Juckvm paper, published in
J24-ii, f.,r about 18 months by 3Jr. Wil
liam Curollu-rs. It was followed by the
" I'nt'jn Jl'u kury " by the same publisher
and devoted to the 8imc cause. Its exis
tence continued from May 6, ltfJr, till
April 13, 1M0.
Next came the " LeicU.urj Journal,"
n Democratic paper, edited by Daniel
(Jotlshall, who controlled it from May 1,
ISoO, till Feb. 18, 103, wheu it pasied
into the hands of Geo. M. Miller and Kd-
ward S. Bowen, and died for waut of sup-
port Feb. 22, 1834.
On the 0th of June, 1835, G. It. Bar
rett, Esq., (now a lawyer in Clearfield,
Pa.,) started the " I:rislivrj IK nvrrat,"
a zealous Wolf paper, which lived till
May, 1 836, when it also gave up tha ghost.
The next candidate for popular favor, or
martyrdom, as the case might be,was the
" Li wUbunj Standard," by D. O. Fitch,
first neutral, then Democratic. It was
well managed for a couple of years, but
ou the 1st of Sept., 1839, passed into the
hands of II. L. Pieffenbach, a forcible
writer, but who let it die at the end of three
months, and took charge of a paper in a
ticighboriug county.
Jonas Kclchner soon after commenced
the publication of " The l'cujtle'$ Advn
ctttc," (WLig,) which was discontinued
April 12, 1841, " foreasons lest krowir

Its career was terminated Dec. 16, 1842.
After a vacancy of some months, W. B.
Shriner und S. A. Burketibiuc (Sept. 23,
14.') started the .risbuiy Chronicle"
as a 1 'emocratic journal. March 10,1844,
Mr.Uurkeubine retired, stating iu his fare
well address that his withdrawal would not
surprise his readers, a he was only taking
the same course that half a dozen editors
here hefore him had been compelled to
take, and from the same cause, viz. a want
of suttieieut patronage. Mr.Shriucr plucked
up fresh courage, put out a fresh inaugural,
calling earnestly upon the public fur 'the
dirne,' and continued the Chronicle with !

In this list should also be mentioned
" The Cuurdiun" (a monthly ni.igrt7.iiic,
whiek has reached its ninth number,)
printed at the " Chronicle" office, and
edited by Kev. II. Ilurbaugh, formerly of
this place, but now of Iianeaster, Pa.,
where the magazine will appear after the
present year. Also the modest little
" Humorist which had " a short life but
a merry oue," during tho year IS 18, and

days, like a Phoenix from its allies.
Concress Gimudates. The Whig
Conferees met at Muney, Saturday last,
and uuanirnously nominated Jam es Arm
ptroso, Esq., of Willianisport, as the
Whig candidate for Congress in the 13th
Histriet.
The Democratic Conferees wo under
stand are to meet to-day at Muney, and it
is presumed that James GAMni.E Esq. of
Jersey Shore, will be nominated, as three
counties out of fire viz. Clinton, Lycom
ing, and Sullivan have instructed their
Conferees in his favor. It is said the
Northumberland Conferees will earnestly
press the claims of their county.
By the way, we learned yesterday
that James Gam bio Esq. was taken ill of
dysentery at Willianisport last week, and
was confined to Lis room at his hotel, una
ble to be taken home.
IOWe are glad to learn of lhe safe
arrival at Sacramento Cily, in July, of Mr

Oa Saturday last, the House (in C.
gress) took up and passed the Cailfomit
Bill by a vote of 150 to M a clear ma
jority of 91 votes, the 50 being all South

A Territorial Government for Utah
