The Flood at Reading.
Bridge Destroyed : Besides the county
BriJgea acrot the Schuylkill at this ct'y,
the Hamburg nnd Poplar Neck Bridges,
also belonging lo the county, were swept
away, leaving not a single county bridge
over the Schujlki.l. Molirsviile.Althouse's
and Lcilt's bridges, belonging to Compa-
Dies, in ail of which the county held con
id? rable stock, were also destroyed ; lo

Number of Buildings Destroyed : Ii
the list which we have given, of buildings
carried away, be complete, the amount ol
thinago sustained in this manner, will sum
up as follows: brick buildings destrojed
5; frame d tilings, 21 ; frame stables,
workshops, offices, &., 03 ; innking n to
tal of 109 buildings destroyed!
It is impossible to arrive at anything ap
proaehing an estimate of the amount of loss
wntaioed by the frcshtt. Hut we think
that the aggregate loss to the county and
individuals in this immediate vicinity, will
not fall far short oi $500,000. faking
into account the vast depreciation ol prop
erty in the inundated district, we nvglit set
ft duwo at even a higher fignie.

Let tne repeat it,
Sir. that vou and vour excellent friend,
Mr. Smyser, of Adams, are welcome to
Union couuty. We have heard of Mr.
Sinyscr, as an able and faithful public
servant, and our own Beprcscutative
speaks of him as a noble-minded, estima
ble man. ....
We hope, Sir, that your visit to Union
rsnnle w-ill r-rOVf! rdfflSant 0110. V e
h.-yc lb.it iu lie discharge of your ardu-!
ous duties you may be faithfully sustained,
and completely successful. We hope that
when you leave the Executive Chair be
that time sooner or later that you will
carry with you to your retirement that
highest of alt earthly rewards the grati
tude of a free, prosperous, and happy
people.
The Governor's reply was modest and
appropriate. His manner was cool, and
self-possessed ; and we only regret our ut
ter inability to give our readers any just
notion of even the substance of hia re
marks. We give as much as we can recall
this morning.
He faid that in visiting the different
parts of the Htate in lt48 he had not en
joyed the pleasure of being in Union
county ; but that he had nhvays designed
to come and see us, and that his present
visit was the realization of a long-cherished
hope.
He maintains on the subject of Protec
tion Ins old opinions, and believes that all
Peiint-ylviiiiians would like to see Ameri
can labor cherished in preference to the
pauper labor of the Old World. Hut, he
said, unfortunately we can not quite agree
iu the method of attaining this desirable
object.
The Governor asserted that the people
of l'euusylvauia were opposed to the
spread of shivery into the new Territories
that, us they valued the blessings of
freedom themselves, they desired to see
others also enjoy them.
As he had been complimented upon his
Message of the --d of March, he said
with much emphasis and feeling, that
while he l.u.i the honor to till the Execu
tive chair of his native State, he would
repel all such slanders as the Southern
resolutions east upon our free old Coni
nionweaith. lie alluded to tin; value of judicious
public improvements to the stern neces
sity which his oath of office laid upon him
to veto the unjust Apportionment Hill
to the apparent kindness of his reception,
and his gratification at all he had seen
and concluded with the hope liiat he might
so discharge, his diities us that the people
of this county should never regret the
eunfidcuce they Lae reponcd in him when
an entire stranger to most of them person
ally. The Governor then alighted, and after
breakfast was introduced to a large number
of people assembled from this and the ad-
j joining towns,
s far as we could learn,
all were pleased, not more with his com
manding person and affable manners Uian
with his frankness and cordiality, and the
plain, common sense character of his pub
lic and private communications.

speakers, fronting the Fire Proof, and the
ladies lilled the windows of the adjacent

and the array of beauty, far exceeded any
previous display we h ive had the fortune
to witness there.

This account is necessarily hurried,
and if in any way incomplete or erroneous,
the circumstances will to the candid mind
present a valid excuse.
To-Day. There are handbills up thro'
the county, jr and con a Mass Meeting of
the "Inflexible" Democracy "to make war
upou" the "Bee-Liue" Democracy. The
lirct onset to be at New Berlin, to-d.iy. A
number of eminent speakers arc promised.
A New Principle.
The Union Times the Democratic orgrtn
of this couuty has the following editorial
announcement in its issue of 5th inst. :
"The election of a Volunteer candidate
for Prothonotary, iu our estimation, is a
fuudaineutal rinciih of the Democratic
party."
W'c can not fiud this principle recogni
zed in the ".Resolutions of '9S," nor yet
in the Baltimore, the ILirrisburg,tho Pitts
burg, or the Williaunport " platforms,"
and therefore are constrained to think our
cntcmporary is mistaken utiles.--, indeed,
as is charged, a private, raurua of leading
Whigs and leading Democrats can manu
facture "fimJiinH'ntiif principles of the
Democratic party" at every election. In
deed, if our memory serves us, ju.st over
the river, in Northumberland county, the
" fundamental priuciple" of that party
seems to have been to elect the man nnmi
nutid for that office, in doing which they
have elected Mr. J. Farnswoutii, Pro
thonotary more than lirire in Mirtii.. In
Columbia county, too which is quite as
good authority iu laying and sustaining
Democratic principles as Union comity
0Iiy sr, i,ut flUr northern Democratic
J neighbor, Lycoming, has not only elected
a nominated M'hig, Mr. Martin, but has
also rc-tlectcd him. We find, also,
men professing to be Democrats aud voting
Democratic tickets, in this county, who of
two Whig candidates before them, choose
the nominated instead of the volunteer
candidate for Prothonotary btcuusf they
consider him tried, competent, and prefer
able and because, believing offices were
made for tho people, and not the people
for offices, they hold it of more import
ance that a good Prothonotary be elected,
than that Union county should attempt to
set herself np as as dictator of " funda-
mental principles" of a national party.
If these gentlemen (of whom there are
many) be correct, wo think the Times will
on reconsideration of its proposition allow
that for onco there is a possibility of its
being iu error.
Congress.
The candidates for Congress in the 13th
district are now selected. Mr. Armstrong,
the Whig and Tariff candidate, was the
spontaneous choice of the District, without
any desire or effort on his part. We are
informed ho was born in White Deer
. i , . .
spent his early years at Milton, in the
.. . . J
honorable occupation of the tanner aiui
occupation
afterwards studied law, in the practices of
which, among tho numerous eminent legal
gentlemen of Williamsport, he stands
couspicuous. He is a man of untiring
industry, nerve, and sagacity, of unblem
ished reputation, and iu all respects " ca
pable and fit" for the honorable station in
connection with which he is named.
Mr. James Gamble, the Democratic
nominee, is also a lawyer ly profession,
but has never won distinction or emolu
ments at the bar. He is a gentleman of
unimpeachable reputation, personally ami
able and popular, and in all respects "a
clever fellow." Noniiuatcd bj Lycoming
and her two daughters Clinton and Sulli
van, he enters the cauvass under dis
advantages, which will require more
than common effort and ability to counter
balance. He is a brother of John A.
Gamble, Canal Commissioner, and of Mat
thew B. Gamble, Principal Engineer on
the Xorth Branch.

Kldred in favor of the law.
Wayne is a strong Democratic county,
and has just re-nominatod Mr. Crier, the
old Democratic Member. All the votes
in the House in favor of the Small Bill
Law, we're cast by Democrat's, and all
against, by the Whigs. Denouncing the
unanimous act of their own party as a
" nuisance," is a pretty significant indica
tion of public opinion on that point at
least.
In other parts of the State, the' Law
seems to be popular. We deem it policy
that it should bo enforced, and if there be
not enough sjiccie for change, let there be
issued small bills of our own banks.

Kev. Henry B. Basoom, D.D. This
person, late a Bishop in the M. K. Church
South, died at Louisville, Ky., on the Sth
inst., after ipiite a protracted illness. Mr.
Basconi was one of the most finished ex
amples of natural oratory in his day, in the
opinion of no less a judge than Henry
Clay. His fame was wide-spread, certain
ly, but if a sermon wo heard from him
about 1S3S, at tho Green St. Church, N
York, was a fair specimen, we think he
was over-rated as an orator, or had been
injured by the adulations heaped upon him.
We have heard superior efforts from min
isters of his own and of other denomina
tions. But, whether greater or less, ho
devoted his talents to the cause of God
and man, and his memory will be cherished
by thousands of admiring friends.
Locks Piullipi'e, Ex-King of France,
is no more I All his wealth, all his wis
dom, all his rich experience gathered from
personal observations in the Old World
and the New, could not shield him from
the power of tho King of Terrors. His
life is full of interest, and witnessed most
eventful transactions. He died at Clarc-
niout on 20th Aug., aged 77. How thick
and fast fly the shafts of Death among the
