A TRIUMPH. IGTr. ISiiylor Confirmed iis liis Scat. We congratulate our friends in the Third District upon the happy and righteous determi nation of Congress, in relation to the contested election between Messrs. Ingersolland Naylor. Jt will be seen that truth and justice have pre vailed that Ingcrsoll has, for the second time, "been signally rebuked by a Congress consisting of his own political friends and that the Hon. Charles Navlor has been confirmed in his seal, "by the large voteof 116 to 85. It is to be hoped that Mr. lngersoll will now return home, and not longer distrust his friends and trouble the American Congress with his ridiculous stories about ticket swallowing, ballot-box eating, and similar nonsense. The pertinacity with which lie has adhered to this matter has been anything but creditable to his admitted ability. He should have been satisfied in the first place with the j result of the Committee of Investigation and certainly the agitation of the matter after the decision of last session, was any thing but dis creet. But he was determined to persist, anp The result is a rebuke of the severest character. Mr. Naylor will return home to his constituents in iriumph. He has floored his antagonist fully and signally. This result, loo, immediately af ter both had occupied the attention of Congress for some days, is indeed creditable and honour able in the highest degree. Pa. Inq. Kesamptioii in Philadelphia. THE GOOD WORK CONSUMMATED, All the Banks of the City and County of Philadelphia resumed specie payments yester day. The affair passed with little or no ex citement whatever; and the demand in the ag gregate, was exceedingly limited. Before the doors of the United States Bank was thrown open, a few persons were assembled in the neighborhood, most of ihein attracted thither however, by mere curiosity. The numbers de creased as the day advanced, ar.d a stranger on passing the Institution, would not have been reminded that the long talked of resumption was in progress. Propably several hundred persons in the course of day, obtained specie for small sums; but all was good humor, 'nothing like alann was apparent, and we learn that in seve ral instances, specie that had been obtained from one institution, was found rather inconve nient, and was deposited in some other. The other Banks also paid Jrfiely, all demands that were presented but instead of there being any thing like rush, it was remarked that the en trances and exits appeared to be exceedingly limited. The Girard is located immediately opposite our ofiice, and there was no demand whatever upon that Institution. They also all, with the exception of ihe Commercial, paid out hetr own notes, and several of them have, we .)!srve, obtained during the suspension, new tiul bautifai pktes-Tso that their paper is at ! ?asi nmre vahiabh? than Uxniu-ry, m point ol ;jpji;rsc. i nem may jiu some slight do t maud lu-dav for ssnall sums in snecie: and then every thing will grow pftrfecily calm once diiore. We congratulate our cijizens on the manner 'w. which this business df resumption has been consummated, arid consider it highly -creditable to our community, that the affair lias passed off' satisfactorily. A little longer, and we trust that business, confidence and prosper ity will revive. Pa. Inq. The Washington,. Pa. Reporter, nonViw o.varm terms' of praise, the election of Mr?

One of the most destructive freshets known to our citizens, took place in consequeuce of the sudden rise of the water in the river Dela ware, on the evenings of Thursday and Friday, and continuing at its height the greater part of Saturday. The large bridge erected across the river at ReiglesvilJe is entirely swept away. By the undermining of the abutment cn the Jersey side, one half of the Centre Bridge at Mitchell's old Ferry, went down, and in its course, struck and carried oft one half of the New Hope Bridgethe entire Bridge at Tay lorsville, and one half of the Yardley ville Bridge. The only Bridges remaining on the Delaware are those at Trenton, Easton and Belvidere the latter much injured. During the whole time the river was filled with houses, barns, sheds, out-buildings, canal and coal boats, lum ber of every description, logs and limber va rious articles of househoid goods and kitchen furniture, family cradles, and even a cofiin was seen going down. The dead bodies of horses, cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry. Many valu able buildings on both sides of the river have been undermined, and entirely ruined. Hun dreds of families -abandoned their dwellings in time to save their lives, but such was the rapid rise of the water, that all their clothing and goods were either swept away or destroyed. It is supposed that the Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania Canal, has sustained very se rious damage by the washing away of the banks. The water wheels at Wells' Falls have been carried oft' and the several acqueducts eithe-r carried oft', or very much damaged. There has been great destruction of private property, and particularly among the lumber merchants. Among them are Corvell & Mur- ray, Kenderdine & Thomas, Newton Treichlcr, and others. At New Hope, Thomas' mill was partly inundated, and Parry & Brittain, and H. N. Beaumont's store cellars were filled with water, destroying and- damaging a large quan tity ol pork and groceries. Extensive damage was sustained at Point Pleasant, Kintnersville, Monroe, and at other points on the river. We have heard the damages estimated along the river from Morrisville to Easton at upwards of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars, to the state, companies and individuals. In many places the bed of the road running parallel with the river and canal, has been swept away. No lives fortunately were lost that we have heard of, but George B. Fell, merchant at Cen tre Bridge, had a most providential escape. He was standing on that portion of the Centre Bridge which was undermined and went down the river, but was eo fortunate as to regain a po sition on the fabric above the water. Aware of his perilous situation, he immediately set to work to make a platform of floating timber, separate from the part he occupied. In the mean lime, his nephew and neighbors mounted on horses, and went down the river to give the alarm and procure assistance. At New Hope, 4 miles below, he was seen approaching the Bridge, on his frail bark, a few yards in ad vance of the arch of the other bridge. Mr. Hi ram Scarborough, and another individual, whose name we have not learned, at the imminent peril of their lives, left the Pennsylvania shore t in a boat t0 assist Mr. Fell, but such was the raPidity of the enrrent, that it was of no avail, and all passed under the bridge together Mr Fell lying flat down and feet foremost, and Mr Scarborough and his companion also, and land ed on the Jersey shore, without beidg able to afford any succour to Mr. Fell. The striking and concussion of the Centre Bridge carried oft" nearly one half the New Hope Bridge. Mr. Fell rose, and called for help, and many of his friends continued on down the river, watching anxiously for an opportunity to assist him. He passed through Wells' Falls, and continued on until he began to approach near to the Taylors ville Bridge, being still in advance of the float ing bridge. He discovered that the water was up to the frame work of the bridge, and gave up for lost; he laid himself flat down, and for tunately, just as he came to the brdge, he was forced under by the current, and came up on the lower' sids without receiving any injury. He then continued going rapidly down the stream, until he came to the Bridge at Yard ley ville, where we learn, by the daring intre pidity of a young man by the name of Nichol son, he was rescued, by getting into a boat; and brought safely to shore on the Jersey side. He was somewhat bruised, but returned back the same evening to Lambertville, and his safe ty was announced to his anxious family and numerous relatives and friends, by the blowing of horns and firing of cannon, as the water was too high for any communication by crossing with boats. The escape in passing undj- so many bridges, with the water running so near to the wood work, and surrounded on every side by large masses of ice driving in every direction was truly remarkable. By the stage we learn, that the destruction at Easton, and from the mouth of the Lehigh upwards, is of a most destructive character. The large bridges across that stream at Eas ton, Jarrett's, Bethlehem, Allentown and near Perrysville, are all destroyed, and that during the continuation of the high water, articles of every description that would float, came down f in large quantities. Ihe dam at ..haston, now building, is seriously injured many buildings in South Easton carried off, or destroyed, and others have been so much undermined as to render them unsafe to be occupied. Besides this, we are pained to learn that two persons, a man and woman, are known to havo been drowned. The canal and water power of the Lehigll Navigation Company, have suffered very grealJy, and it is said that tho further up the Lehigh, Unit the damage sustained by incor porated companies and individuals is immense 'carrying off several large mills, and an im mense .quantity of logs artd lumber. In Philadelphia,' the water rose abovo most of the wharves on the Delaware, filling nearly all the cellars below near the river, anddstroy ing and damaging valuable property to a large amount. On the wharfs erected along the Schuylkill, it rose still higher, carrying oft' a large quantity of wood, coal and lumber, and destroyed a great amount of property which had been stored away in cellars and warehouses. Many valuable bridges have been destroyed on tho Schuylkill several of the dams carried away or injured, and the tracks of railroad run ning to Norristown and Reading partly inun dated with water and injured. It is supposed the Schuylkill canal and the buildings, locks and other improvements have been much in jured. It is found that the public works have sus tained great damage along the Susquehanna, Juniata and other streams, as the water there, we learn, rose to an unprecedented height, and carrying oft bridges, and destroying a amount of property. large General Mnvrison. A Cincinnati correspondent of the N. York Express thus contradicts some of the stories of the. day: "General Harrison, so far from making prom ises of offices or even giving to his nearest and dearest friends the least encouragement, either express or implied, will not so much as listen to any one- no matter whom when asking for office, either for himself or friend; or, in fact, read a letter, knowing it to be an ap plication for office. In this matter he is firm and decided; he will pay no attention to such applications until after he is installed into the 'high office to which the people have elected him and then such applications -must come through the proper departments; and in all cases, the most successful will be those who are judged the most honest and capable. The Gen eral does not subscribe to the doctrine, "that to the victors belong the spoils;" he goes into the Presidential chair as the President of the na tion, and not of a. purty and if any one thinks that there is to be a general clearing out of all the minor oftico holders, and their places filled by Whigs, he is wofully mistaken. All now in office who are honest and faithful, and have devoted themselves exclusively" to the perform ance of their duty with an eye single to the public good and have in no case brought, or attempted to bring, 'the influence of their office in conflict with the freedom of elections, wil doubtless be retained. Such is my opinion without speaking authoritively, of General Har rison's views." On the 18th i.nst. by the Rev. Mr. Ayres, Mr. George Stoll, of Montague, Sussex co N.
