A letter to the Baltimore American from Nash
ville, August 3, says, "the Whigs of this city and
county (Davidson) have worked most nobly. The
result is an increase of 150 over the vote of 1841.
The returns are not yet complete, but the majority
will be fully equal to that of Gen. Harrison's elec
tion-683.
We dare not yet speak for the State. We have
certainly made a glorious beginning."
The Abolitionists advertise that they will hold a
National Convention on the 30th and 31st of this

Buffalo.
MELANCHOLLY A CCIDENT,-Last week's Regis

was killed near Plane No. 4, on Monday the 31st
ult. He was engaged at work some feet from the
ground, on a small building erected by Mr. William
Rodgers at that place, and a couple of men under
took to cut down a tree that stood near by, which
falling across the cut, and in a different direction
from that expected, came upon him and crushed him
to death instantly. He is represented to have been
very worthy young man, and his untimely end is
much regretted by his acquaintances.

The Great " Gerrymander."
The Whigs of the a Gerrymander" district, com
posed of the counties of Erie; Warren, Clarion,
Jefferson, McKean and Potter, have nominated Gen.
Ca &fuss M. REeD, of Erie, for Congress. This
district exemplifies the wickedness to which the
administration was forced to resort in order to carry
into effect its preconceived detetennination that the
Whigs should have but four Members of Congress
in the State. The Erie Gazette says the district is
153 miles long from North-west to South-east—full
half the length of the whole State the longest way it
can be measured! From east to west, through the
centre, it is 75 miles, or nearly half the width of the
State. The whole embraces about one-fills of the
State, leaving the other four-fifths to be represented
by ttventy-three members!
The Gardner Case.
The examination of J. McLean Gardner, the
young man who made an assult upon the Hon. Mr.
Wickliffe, on Thursday last, was brought to a close
on Friday morning last. The evidence went to
show that a continued close application to study,
had prostrated both his mind and body, and his con
duct some two mouths since, had induced in the
mind of his brother Dr. Gardner, the belief that he
was insane. His father had, also, in consequence
of his proceedings enjoined a strict watch to be kept
upon him. It appeared in testimony that Gardner
believed Mr. Wickliffe and an officer of the boat
who were conversing together near him, to be con
spiring to throw him overboard, and it was through
the desire to save himself that he comutitted the
assault:
The rendition of evidence was but brief, and the
case having been given to the Jury, they returned a
verdict that the prisoner was at the time of making
the assault and is still insane, whereupon the Court
rondo ed the following judgement and order:
The Court hereby release the prisoner from the
commitment of the justice of the peace, and order
that he be placed in the State's Hospital, there to
b 3 confined until he shall recover his reason of which
the City Court shall be satisfied, and by them die.

Tremendous Tornado and mood.
Our et changes tire filled with accounts of the
dreadful storm and flood which occurred on tho Pith
inst. in Philadelphia and Delaware and Chester
counties and elsewhere. The destruction of lives
and property has been most terrible.
The Philadelphia papers state that though the
storm had been falling all day, about 7 o'clock in
the evening the flood-gates of heaven seemed to have
been opened wide, and a deluge of rain descended
such 0.4 has never before been witnessed there. For
nearly an hour and a half the stream continued to
rush from the clouds to the earth, and in some parts
of the town it was impossible to cross the streets,
while the cellars and lower stories of buildings in
the south, centre and northern parts of the city
were completely drowned.
Besides the rush of waters, there was a strong
gale blowing during the storm, which did much
damage, and heavy and repeated shocks of thunder
shook earth, tree and tower.
We condense from the Ledger, Forum and
Times, the damage done by the waters and the
tornado.
In Dock street,—all along Sixth street from below
Race—the vicinity of 4th and Market streets, and
in many other sections, the cellars were overflowed
and a great quantity of merchandize destroyed.
In some places the water was over the hubs of
the vehicles which were passing, and it was with
the greatest difficulty that horses could keep them
selves in an upright position, such was its iinpetu
salty ; and when the currents met, streams were
thrown up to Alio height of some five feet; and
rooms on a level with the street were half filled with
the flood. The meadows south of the city present
one sheet of water, and the second crop of grass is
destroyed by the sand which hos been washed in
upon it.
There was but little damage, so far as we can
ascertain, by the lightning. A house at the corner
of Front street and the Germantown Road was
struck and set fire to, but the fire was soon extin
guished. But the most serious damage was done
by a tornado which passed over the western part of
the city. From the accounts we have received, we
can trace its ravages from Norristown, on the north, I
and Darby to the south of us. At the former place
fences were prostrated, stables and sheds unroofed,
trees uprooted, the corn blown down, and orchards
stripped of their fruits. The same devastation mar
ked its course down towards the city. Nicetown
Lane, and several of the roads leading to town,
were choked up its the morning with fallen trees so
that the milk people found it extremely difficult to
get in to serve their customers.
Along the Ridge Road its violence was exhibi
ted in prostrated fences, unroofed houses, and bro
ken and uprooted trees. Fragments of the destruc
tion were scattered about in every direction. At
Francisville the Brass Foundry and Episcopalian
Church were unroofed. The barn attached to
Preston Retreat was blown down. Mr. Hallowell
was in it at the time, but the timber fell in such a
manner as to protect hiss from injury. The same
thing secured with the cow which was along side of
hint. A large tree was uprooted at the sante place.
A small building in Vine street, near Schuylkill
Second, occupied by Mr. Samuel Griffiths, as a gas
fitting factory, was blown down, and three persons,
two men and a boy, were buried in the ruins. One
of them, Mr. Daniel Whitehouse, was taken out
dead, his head completely crushed. The other two,
the engineer and the boy, were rescued alive, but
the former is now confined to his bed from the
bruises, and the boy is not much hurt. An inquest
was held over the body of Mr. Whitehouse the same
evening. In addition to the above, the roof of a
three story brick house, and the roofs of several
other buildings were lifted off and carried some dis
tance. Doors of houses and window shutters were
wrenched off and wafted like feathers through the
air; and the largest sized trees were twisted off at
the base and carried to great distance, while fences
and sheds were levelled to the ground. The tin roof
of the Phcenix Distillery, Race street and Schuylkill,
was torn off. A kitchen attached to a house in the
neighborhood, and a large tree adjoining, were pros
trated, and a number of trees in the garden or nur
sery opposite were bent down and broken. The
fences in this vicinity shared the same fate that
others did in the track of the whirlwind, and the
fragments were strewed about in every direction.—
Proceeding further down, it encountered the Phila
delphia Gas Works, the tin roof of which was
rolled up and torn off like paper, and fragments car
ried to the distance of about one hundred yards in
several directions. The fences and the boards of
adjoining board-yards were scattered about, and a
large portion of Market street was strewed with the
wrecks. Some of the weather-boards of the Per
, manent Bridge were also torn ofd', and the railing of
the cast abutment was blown down, carrying with
it the heavy flagstones to which it was fastened.
A new brick house at the corner of Chesnut and
Schuylkill Second streets, which had been raised a
few feet above the second floor, was reduced to a
mass of ruins by tire violence of the wind and rain.
About n feet of the wall of a vitrol factory, at the
corner of Beach and Locust streets, en the Schuyl
kill, was blown down, and all the fences, and a
number of trees in tire neighborhood shared the
same fate.
The tin roof of the Pennsylvania Institution for
the Blind was rolled up, and a portion of it carried
the distance of about two squares. At the Mag- '
dalen Asylum, out Race street, near the Schuylkill,
the damage was considerable. A large tree in the
rear was prostrated, crushing anout-house in its fall.
The kitchen attached to the main building bursted,
as it were, outwards, knocking down a tree which
stood in front. The fences, grape vines, arbors and
garden plants were prostrated ; and a large tree on
the opposite side of the street fell, choking up Race
street so as to render it impassable for horses and ve
hicles. One low stone building in Arch street, in
the same vicinity, was unroofed, and the violence of
the whirlwind shattered the walls from the top to
the foundation. The roofs of several sheds and
stables adjoining wore blown away.
At the Permanent Bridge, a number of vessels
were ege.I.T.A the piers, end we are informed
that a colored man was washed overboard and lost.
There were 18 coal boats sunk in the Schuylkill,
and 44 vessels sustained more or less injury.
The gas lights in the city were all suddenly put
out, by the stopping of the supply from the goes
works, where the violence of the storm upon the
buildings, caused an explosion to be apprehended.
„ The damage to the south of us, particularly
upon Darby, Chester, Brandywine and Crumb
creeks, is understood to be immense.
Throughout Sunday, it was reported that the
railroad bridges, on Naaman's, Darby and Chester
creeks, had been swept may ; but we are informed
by the agent of the Welphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad Company, who has returned
from the line of the road, that several es" the small
bridges between this city and Wilmington have
been partially injured, that at Chester being the
only one which has been carried away. The road
itself has escaped without injury; and below Wil
mington, information has been received that no
damage has been done.
The damage to private property in the neighbor
hoods of Darby, Ridley and Chester Creeks, has
been immense, and attended with loss of life.
In consequence of the damage to the Bridges,
the Baltimore passengers left in the afternoon in
the Robert Morris, via Wihnington.
The County Bridge over Darby Creek, a massive
structure of great strength, was swept away while
two young men were upon it, who were lost. They
are Russel Flounders and the son of Mr. Josiah
Bunting, of Darby. It is supposed that they were
crushed by the bridge, as a portion of its materials
was seen to roll over on to them as they were en
gulphod in the flood. Their bodies have not been
found. At Kelly's Mills, on the same creek, a house
was carried away, and a woman named Mrs. Julia
Nowlin, and her four children were drowned. The
bodies were shortly after recovered. We are infor
med that a number of lives have been baton this
creek, but we have not been able to ascertain all the
particulars. That there has been a great destruc
tion of property, we are certain, for fragments of
houses and bales of cotton have floated down and
lodged on the bridge of the Philadelphia, Wilming
ton and Baltimore Railroad.
On Chester Creek, the Railroad bridge has been
carried away, together with nearly all the road
bridges. Trees, logs, fences and furniture were
seen floating down it, and the flood has, we are in
formed, swept away the Rockdale factory, and en
gulphed a number of people and a large amount of
property. One tree floated past the Railroad with a
dead man hanging in the branches, and after some
efforts, the body was recovered. A log, upon which
a man clung, crying out for help, also floated by,
but it was impossible for any assistance to reach
On Crumb Creek, Mr. Dunlap's factory was en
tirely demolished by the flood, and the factory at
Leiperville was overflowed, and the horses and cat
tle in the adjoining stables were drowned. Mr.
Lieper lost a splendid pair of carriage horses. The
flood on this stream was more violent dela on any
of the others, and the lower part on Sunmm..y, alter
the water had somewhat subsided, was choked up
with cotton bales, fragments of machinery and
other evidences of the destruction which had been
going on the night before. The meadows had been
completely overflowed, two sloops were driven up
about half a mile from the bed of the stream, and
were aground by the side of a house which had
been forced from its foundation, and from which it
had been necessary to take the whole family in boats
during the height of the storm.
To the north of us the damage was very consid
erable. Two bridges on the Norristown Railroad
were carried off, and the banks of the road in several
places this side of Norristown washed away. The
factories on the streams in that neighborhood must
have suffered severely. The only damage on the
Reading Railroad which has come to our knowl
edge is, that the Canada badge has been swept away
by the flood, but we have no doubt that there were
a greater number of accidents.
This is about the most destructive storm that has
occurred in this vicinity for many years. The
quantity of rain which fell is 4,033 inches, by the
rain gage at the Hospital, but a fraction less than
what fell during the whole month of July.
In addition to the above, we have ascertained that
a new three-story brick house, in Bedford street ,
near Twelfth, was overthrown, and fortunately
without injury to any person.
The storm passed with great violence over the
district of Kensington, and did considerable damage
to new buildings, unpaved streets, and property on
the margin of the Cohocksink Creek. Fences,
sheds and back houses, situate near this creek, were
swept into it in scores, and threatened a serious ob
struction of the bridges on the streets plating over it.
A dwelling house in Front street, above Laurel,
in the Northern Liberties, was struck by the light
ning, and was considerably damaged, in the roof.
The house is owned and occupied by Mm. Dickin
son, who keeps a trimmings store in the front room.
The lightning passed down the front chimney, and
set fire to some of the goods, besides stunning one
of the ladies in the house, but otherwise doing no
damage to the fatuity. Among the wrecks, which
floated down the creek referred to, was a populous
pig-str,containing no less titan twenty-five grunters,
half of whom saved their necks (from the butcher)
by drowning.
Later from Delaware County.
The Philadelphia Ledger of the Bth instant con
tains the following:
AWFUL CALAMITY !--Great Flood at Cheater,
and Loss of Life and Property !—The storm of
Saturday last prevented the Southern mail from
reaching this city by the regular route. The fol
lowing letter, which we have received from 'Chester,
by a private hand, gives a full account of the terri
ble disasters in that neighborhood. It bears date of
Sunday, and comes from a gentleman who was in
the vicinity at the time
Chester and its vicinity ere bowed down be
neath the chastening hand of Providence. The bo-
rough and its neighborhood present sunder deso-
lation, such as, in the absence of the terrors of war,
'have '::e-er been witnessed in this State. Our.
shores are strewn with wrecks, oorstreeta filled with
ruins, and from every section we hear tales of terror
and desolation and death, sufficient to appal the
stoutest heart. The recent rain had fully saturated
the soil, and that of yesterday therefore flowed from
the surface. In the afternoon the rain became
heavy beyond description. It fell as if in a mass.—
The very hills were shcethed with water; and in the
valleys, runlets became creeks, and creeks were
swollen into rivers. A freshet was, of course, anti
cipated ; but a flood, such as ensued, could not have
'Ten apprehended. It is said that the passengers in
the afternoon boats saw a water-spout burst upon the
heights between Ridley and Chester Creeks; but,
though any ordinary fall of rain, however copious,
seems inadequate to have produced the subsequent
flood, there is no satisfactory evidence of the exis
tence of a water-spout. About six o'clock, it was
found that Chester Creek was rapidly rising. Every
effort was instantly made to place such property as
was moveable out of the reach of danger; but so
instantaneous was the swell of water, that the next
moment left no feeling but the instinct of self-pres
ervation. The stream rose, it is said by some, six
feet in five minutes; also; aver that it rose six feet
in ono minute. The water poured down as if a
wave of the sea had been swept onward by an earth
quake. In about two hours it had risen twenty
three feet. The neighboring creeks were swollen
in the same proportion ; and the roar of the tempet
nous waters rang for miles through the country.—
The flood swept irresistably onward. The dams
built for its restraint were as reeds before the ocean
that rushed by ; the channels were lost, and the
vast volume of water spread over the plain, tearing
up the largest trees, and sweeping factories and
building, like bubbles, upon its surface.
Fortunately, this took place before dark, or the
scene would have been even more terrible than it
was. In Chester, the torrent rose as if by magic,
and swept angrily through the streets. The build
ings which were most frail were swept away ; and
front others, females were borne through the angry
and rushing waters, half dead with affright.—
Houses, dams, bridges, boats and an immense mass
of lumber, furniture, mill-wheels, &c., shot by upon
the current. At length, while the assembled citi
zens, gazed, with white lips, upon the ruin, the rail
road bridge, built at an enormous expense, was lifted
from its foundations and flung down the stream.—
The next to follow was the suspension bridge. Thie
structure was one of which every American was
proud, as it was the first chain-bridge built its the
world. Europe has since claimed the invention:
but here stood—alas! it stands no longer!—the
proof, erected thirty years ago, that to America be
longs the credit of having invented and constructed
the first suspension bridge. When the mass of
matter, whirls shot upon the stormy and roaring
torrent, struck the bridge, it swayed and groaned,
and at length, after a moment's resistance, its vast
iron fastenings gave way with a crash, and the
chains, as they grated upon each other, sparkled and
flashed like lighning. It swung heavily for a mo
ment and fell into the flood. The water now swept
through several of the tower streets. I saw this
morning a house in the middle of one street, and a
shallop in another, left there by the receding stream.
The nature and extent of the injury done could
not then lie estimated ; but it was with a dismay ap
proaching despair that citizens saw the flood roll in
to their storehouses and sweep their hard earnings
away. This morning, however, disclosed in part
the extent of the ruin. It was found that wharves,
tan-yards, machine shops, storehouses, lumber and
coal yards, &e., had been either carried off by the
flood or ruined by the inundation. Messrs. Eyre.,
Kitts, Brobston, Paxton, &e., are severe sufferers.
But the consequences in Chester, are trivial in com
parison with those which have occurred higher up
on the Chester and Ridley creeks. Every bridge,
or nearly every ono on those two streams, has been
carried away. Many of these were costly and sub
stantial structures, and will cost an immense sum to
replace them. Most of the mills and factories upon
those streams have shared the same fate.
The factories of Mr. Crozier, of Mr. Dickson, of
Mr. Riddle, and others, have been swept away.—
Immense numbers of bales of cotton, boxes of goods,
barrels of dye-wood and barrels of flour, have been
carried down to the Delaware, or scattered upon the
meadows into which the flood, in its fury, broke and
deposited its spoils. It is believed that all the dams
aro gone. The pecuniary loss of individuals is
frightfully great; and that which has fallen upon
the - county is not less appalling. The lowest esti
mate of loss is $250,000 ; but this is made up, to a
great extent, upon conjecture. The county will
probably be constrained to raise, by loan, the means
of re-constructing her bridges, as all intercourse be
tween the different sections of the country is now
cut off. •
But the loss of property, terrible as it is, is incon
siderable to the loss of life with whirls this affliction
of Providence has been attended. It is believed that
no leas thun twenty, and probably as many snore,
persons have been drowned. At one place on the
Chester creek, an entire fussily, that of Mr. Rhoads,
consisting of himself; wife and two small children,
found it impossible, so instantaneous was the rise
and rush of the torrent, to escape from tiro house,
and all perished. At the Flower Mills, a devoted
mulatto woman, finding that Mr. Flower was in
great danger, attempted to rescue him, but the sud
den dash of the flood swept her away, and she was
cngulphed. Mr. Flower, who was in the upper
story of the mill, leaped from the window into a
tree; there he remained until the torrent tore up the
tree and swept it onward. He, however, succee
ded in getting hold of the branches of another tree
that resisted the tide and he was saved. Several
bodies have been found upon the shore and in the
meadows. The fatality is to be ascribed to the un
paralelled suddenness of the rise of the water. It
was as if the earth had opened and poured forth her
secret flood. Scarcely was the presence of danger
known, beide it was followed by the absence of
hope. Hundreds of hair-breadth escapes are narra
ted. Tho whole country is overspread with gloom,
and the consequences of last night's calamities will
long overshadow the prosperity of this lovely section
of country." _
We Icon n further that five portions were drowned
at Bancroft's, on Ridley creek. Filly bridges in the
county, it is said, can be counted detroyed, together
with almost every mill-darn. Mr. Crosier's loss is
supposed to be from 50 to $75,000. Kitt's pattern
shop is gone, Mr. Benton's house, Wm. Kerlin's,
Mr. Wm. Eyre's board yard swept away, Joshua
P. and Wm. Eyre's storehouse completely emptied.
Jesse M. Eyre suffered great loss in store goods.—
On Ridley creek we have heard of four bridges being
carried away, and a number of houses. The proba
bility is there are many more. The Railroad bridges
over Ridley Crpmb, and Darby are not gone.
