The AVlilg Caucus at AVaahinpton. The Whig party is certainly in a bad state of repair. A caucus was held in Washington on Tuesday, April 20, for the purpose of selecting ' . ...... the time and place for the holdinz of a National convention. Senator Mangum of North Caro lina was Presidcr t and Messrs. Chandler of Pennsylvania, and Dockery of North Carolina, Secretaries. Hon. umphrey Marshall, of Ken tucky, offered a resolution adopting the Com promise measures, which the President ruled t no caucus. . I .. -I, ..'I .....1 .il. . 1 .uaiMiini itiiti inner souuicin vh'gs then withdrew, stating that it was no place for a whig to remain in. The caucus then telectcd Baltimore as the place, and 1 Cth cf June us the time for the meeting of the National Con vention. The nnmo3 of the whigs who withdrew arc Messrs. Morton and Brooke of the Senate ; Marshall of Kentucky ; Gentry and Williams of Tennessee ; Clingman and Outlaw of North Car olina ; Stiothcr of Virginia ; Cabell of Florida ; nd Moore and Landry of Louisiana. i The nomination of Gen. Scott, we think, is certain. An endorsement by the convention of" the Compromise measures is beyond expectation Ti e determination is to run Lim tuum on thi9 niLjcet. The entire South says it will not sub mit. The people v ill not vote for any man who hesitates to exj ress his opinions on questions of vitnl importance to the country and to the pres ervation of the Union, no matter how transcen dent his military reputat'un. The kicking out of Marshall's resolution produces an "imminent deadly breach" in the w hig party, and it becomes by this act sectional ; it nationality is lost, if tic south remains true to its professions. In a letter, recently written by Mr. Marshall, who is undoubtedly, the most sagacious ns well as the most talented whig member of the House of Bepresciitntivcp, lie says: "j A is (Scott') prttint pttiitiin he cannot obtain the vote of Kcn tuc'y any more than he can cououand the powers of htaren." And alluding to the probability of fv letter bexrg written by Scott concerning the j Compromise, he 6ays : " If he (Scott) writes, 1 all will dipend upon the sentiments he thall ex-j prep; if be decs not write, he cannot hope to obtain the v.-t of a .single s!a-. e-fcolding slate. I and, as I understand it, the ntt canrit e'ect him.'" I Marshall i a sensible uiHn. The St. Charle3 Hotel. This unsurpassed hotel, located in Pittsburgh, which for a series of years has been so success fully and sumptuously piovidcd for by D. 11. Miller, Esq., is now under the management cf Wm. S. Caxpbeil, Esq., late Superintendent of the Portage Railroad. In charge of such a man the patronage of the St. Charles cannot but largely increase, and we hesitate not to state that the entire attendance and arrangements of the house will be such, as to make it the most pleasant and desirable hotel in the "Smoky Ci ty." Mr. Campbell is a gentleman aptly quali fied for the laborious duties of the undertaking, and if assiduous exertions on his part to pleasc and gratify his guests, give him unbounded suc cess, he is sure to receive it. lie leaves hosts of friends in Cambria, who, in parting with one whom they have so long known, but to esteem, express the hope that he may reap rich rewards from his splendid hotel, and who will ever be re joiced to learn that he 13 enjoying health, hap piness and prosperity.

His known fitness and experience as "mine host," is suffi cient guarantee for an excellent house and boun tifully supplied table. The "American House," Hollidaysburg is be ing entirely refitted and repaired. Win. Rey nolds Jr., has purchased the property, and his determination is to make the house evual, if not superior to any in the interior. The arrange ments are decidedly city like, in fact we always feel as if we were in the centre of a small city, when in Hollidaysburg at the "American." We had an eleven o'clock lunch there the other day. Thanks to John.

This much esteemed citizen and eminent ju rist, died at his residence in Westmoreland Co., Tuesday night, 20th April, after a brief illness The Pittsburg Chronicle, a neutral paper, says : "Mr. Coulter, elected by the people one of the Supreme Judges of the Slate, was selected to fill the longest term. He was considered one cf the soundest lawyers in the State. On the Bench, he was looked up to by older brothers, and his j&1,iuions rt.garded with the utmost deference by the highest legal authorities of the age. COKKUNICATIOTr. Editok : Mr. The recent sudden death of the Hon. Richard Coulter one of the Judges of the Supreme Court will necessarily impose upon the people the duty of looking about for a compe tent successor. Already several names have been suggested, any of which if selected I have no doubt, from their taknts and legal Icaru ing would discharge their duties creditably to themselves and the people. The democracy of the State owe it to themselves to see that the va cancy is filled by one of their own number, and to no one will their attention be mure readily directed than to the Hon. James Ca3;I'Eell. It is hardly necessary at this late day to en ter into a detail of his qualifications' to discharge the duties of that high and responsible office, nor to refute the oft repeated tale of his ene mies of incompetency. The satisfactory man ner in whieh he discharged h'.s duties as one of the Judges of the Court of Common rieas for the city and county of Philadelphia for the last ten yeais is a sufficient guarantee, that in any station he would not fail to meet the expecta tions of the people. 7e is well known to be ilpvriti'd tn tlto l iri itp i find rjif'i'iiippq tlio A. . ... .

But this fact should only induce tLe Democracy of the State to rally more closely around Lim, and prove i tit v iifiicrr t? cnt.hnn tlio clMi?iir,wiic i.l1 flirt t-..i. I t V His recent defeat should not be regarded as an argument against his selection again, but his having been lie fore the people last year I consider favorable. He is well known : his name has became familiar to the people of the whole I State ; and his nomination by the party again j would induce it to march to the polls in solid column, with the determination and certainty of success. That he enjoys the confidence of his party 13 evident from the large vote he received in the State Convention by which, lie was nom inated ; from the manner in which he was sus tained by the one hundred and tiventg-six thou sand democrats of the State at the polls, and from his having been selected by Gov. Eigler to fill the important office of Attorney General f ir the State, which he now holds. His defeat was effected by a well concerted scheme of misrepresentation, and trickery car ried on throughout the State, and now that the opportunity is offered, the democracy owe it to themselves, to see that he is elevated along side of those with whom he was associated upon the ticket last fall, and in whose election they could triumph with the satisfaction of Laving sustain ed a consistent member of the party, rebuked disorganizes, and in some measure meted out to them retributive justice.

Indeed, it is generally understood that the heat on the day of the bat tle was so great as to cause much distress among the British troops on their retreat from Con cord, while the spring was so forward that on the 10th of April the cherry trees were in full blossom, which has been the case but two or three times siuce lG7i, and which, judging from the present appearance of the weather, will uot this year be the case until tlie 19th of May.

He praised the States of New Ftvrlnml I above the other States of the country. He taunted the American people on their Govern ment being swayed by foreign influence, and not being a power on earth.

The following, from the Philadelphia Sun, a paper that warmly advocated the election of Gov Big leu's opponent, is a sample of the commen dations we daily hear: "We are much gratified that we have not been deceived in Gov. Eigler, with reference to his views on banking monopolies. The veto power is safe in such hands. Wc think other develop ments will produce similar results. Our State is averse to the creation of any more monopolies. If increased capital is required to meet business demands, let us have Free Banking. It is the only democratic plan, and will meet favor with all classes of our citizens, except those already interested in the huge monopolies which oppress men of business, instead of assisting them. Let Gov. Bigler go on as he has commenced, and Pennsylvania will see brighter and happier Javs." Peiiimyl vania Legislature. Haukisbi f-g, April 24. Senate.

A much larger amount property has been destroyed than at any previ ous hood. However, the river is now lallm fast, so the greater danger is over. It will be some days before we will be able to tell the actual number cf lives lost, or the a mount of property destroyed. The steaml oat navigation on the river is en tirely suspended, as the boats cannot pass under the Wheeling bridge, cwing to the high stage of water. The lowea part or point of this city and the water front of Allegheny city, are both under water. The little towns ot Birmingham and Temper :u.. 1 a- t ,t , anceville have suffered much damage, and are partially under water. The damage in the interior must have been very great judging from the vast quantity of drift stuff which floated past the city. It is estimated that from three to five hundred rafts have been carried away and broken up by tiio flood. The tow ns of Rochester, Bridjrewater. Sharon. and Fallston, on the Beaver river, thirty miles below this city, are under water to a great ex tent. The accounts from all directions show that the flood has been most disastrous on its course. The western cars, on account of the freshet, have suspended running this week. The Pennsylvania canal, as far as known, is not injured. The engine of the city water works is under water. The Chronicle gives an incident, which we copy with pleasure. On the Allegheny side, a woman and mother, who had been almost exhausted in rescuing her children from a house nearly under water, mis sed her hold, and fell into the surge beneath. She was soon swept out into the stream, and was being borne down its raging bosom with fearful rapidity. Her clothes spread wide and bore UP. and whn nur tl. ' - - -i' n J Ul lUJU she attracted the attention of the multitude which lined the banks. Directly a youDg man was seen plunging in to her rescue; Like a rich conquest in one Land he bore her, And with the other dashed the saucy waves, That thronged and pressed to rob him of his prize ; he struggled on with determined energy, uatil half dead himself he saved her from a waiery grave. The intrepid man is Charles Lct.is, a resident of our city. TLe Morgantown, Ya., Mirror, of the 17th instant has further particulars of damage done by the flood along the Monongahela and its tri butaries. On West Fork river three mills and twenty-six buildings were swept away, leaving eleven families houseless. Four hedges were also destroyed. At West Brownsville an unfinished steamboat w as swept away from the yard of Messrs. Cox Laneheart. Captain Pringle also lost a fine boat. Messrs. Watkins & Co., of the Browns ville Iron Works, lost their warehouse, 150 kegs of spikes and 20 tons of bar iron. At Monon gahela city the damage was about 2000.

The present attitude of the Democratic prtj in this State, is of itself, win n rightly consider ed, a standing and most eloquent proof that tie allegation referred to cannot be true.

Still more absurd would be the opinic that a people as true-hearted and zealous in tie support of Democratic principles, as these viio compose the great body of his friends, would le willing to endanger the success of the party I'J the nomination of a weak candidate. VYhen bus I the Den)cracy of Pennsylvania been wanting in ! fidelltv 10 thr brethren ? When have we tried I t0 destroJ the hopes of our political associate?, or attemPteJ 10 impose on them bv any faise Pretenc? whatever ? We feel that we can con- ""C""J " prouuiy, claim lor our party i this State, a character too L3:h to be su.-retd of uncandid, double dealing. Besides, our n? tives for desirine the nomination of the strer.z- est man in the Union, are as powerful as foe. which operate on other minds. We are embar ked iu the same ship w ith yon, and haveasuct-p an interest as any of you in choosing a phot will take us safely through the perils oftLevr; agc. It is because we believe that Mr. Euchas an's availability is greater than that of any oth er man (though not for that reason aloue) tb: we urge his nomination. If we are entitled to the credit of sincerity, ' remains only to show that we are not mis:akfa our judgment.
