The rain set in about 6 o'clock • and continued to fall in torrents for .perliaps an hour without the least abatement. The body of water which passed through our ---tow-n-was-unev.-• . est inhabitants never witnessed anything,like it. 11Iechanie street through the Diamond to Church street was completely submerged, filling almost every cellar in its course, the water in.several instances reaching the sec ond floor. Considerable damage was neces sarily sustained. Messrs. Rurcr, & 110 E r the. heaviest losers, sustained a loss of several hundred dollars in the des . truction of groceries, oils, etc. The rise Of the water was so sudden and unexpected that many 'of the cellars of private families were filled be fore a single article could be removed. Gar dens, fencing, &c. were swept away, but the most serious loss was doubtless sustained by fanners by the washing- of fields and destruc tion of fencing-. In some eases almost whole fields of corn will have to be replanted. The streams in the neighbor-hood were so much swollen as to be irapassible and a number of persons from the country were eempelleds to remain in, town over night. .nr.

'The guerilla warfare which was to be revived against us atter our Southern breth ren had died in the last ditches of. the regu lar war, and which so terrified the souls of the patriotic men among us whi) cared — the South could never be conquered, appears to be accommodating itself to the new condi tion of things very, easily and quietly. Since the surrender of the main armies of treason, noted kuerilla bands in different parts of the country are coming in almost daily and sur rendering. The truth is, the guerilla busi ness is becoming very unsafe just at this time. The Generls comma ruling 'most of our Departments have issued orders decla ring guerillas outlaws, and not ..entitled .to the privileges of prisoners of war. This in sures them a short trial and speedy banging, and divests their operations of the interest an. romance so a etiklitiul to young female secesh. A vigorous course of this kind, and making the inhabitants of ever, sponsible in person or estato for every out. rage perpetrated among them, unless they deliver up the guilty parties, or give lint.. oration against them, will soma settle the bug bear of guerilla warfare.

OIL STOCK.—The following friini a late issue of the Philadelphia _lnquirer is encour- aging to those who have made investments in (Ai stocks: Oil shares have been looking up a little during the week, and the great cloud which has been hanging over the heads• of holders of Oil stocks, 'begins to reveal at least a "sil ver lining . ," if it does not give signs of break. ing away altogether. Eight new companies have been organized during the week, rep resenting a capital of $1,700,000 and 1,110, 000 shares. The price of Petroleum, both crude and refined, keeps well up, and when the new wells begin to produce, owners will find a ready market for their oil, at good pri ces.

Thesp large receipts wilrenable" the Treasury to pay off our armies as they. _are disbanded, and to rapidly discharge• the vari ous obligations that have been incurred .du ring the war: History. will show that a great war-debt to individuals has never before been so proMptly paid; and we think all will agree"', that Secretary McCulloch deserves great ere . • for-the-ahility-ho-has-manifest • e ly in securing the Means, but for the finan cial skill he has displayed in so directing these vast receipts and disbursements as not for a moment to disturb the equilibrium of commerce, embarrass individuals, or in any way tighten the money market. It is doubt less true that the Secretary of the . . Treasury might have negotiated the remainder of his loans at six per cent. interest instead of 7.30, but so much. valtrable time would necessarily have been lost in.popularizing a new loan that the great object of the government, viz , an-immediate-supply-of-money_suffici eat to pay all the debts incident to the war, wbuld have been defeated; and besides, the difference of interest would not have been equal to three days' expenses. The policy may have looked "penny wise," but the best financial authorities, as well as common sense, pronounced it "pound foolish." As it is— and will be, no• soldier will go home without his greenbacks, and the floating debt in the shape of vouchers requisitions, &c., will be wiped out as rapidly as the proper officers can audit and adjust the accounts. The Second Series of the . 7.30 Loan was eihausted on Saturda • Ma. 13th. On Monday, the Secretary of the Treasury au thorized JAY.CooKE, the general Subscrip -tion-Agent-for-U.-S. Securitics,-to-receive subscriptions for $230,000,000 of a Third Series, which is all that is authorized by Congress, and is without doubt the last loan at this high rate of interest that will be of fered by the Government. • There is no change in the terms or condi tions of this Third Series; except that the Government reserves the right 'of paying interest at six per cent. in gold instead of seven and three-tenths in currency—a right, which would pit-suppose a return to specie payments, and make six per cent. in gold I even better than the higher rate in curren• cy—a consummation most devoutly to be wished, sec ti cmre- The privilege of converting the notes into 5.20 six per cent. gold bonds at the end of three years, or receiving payment at maturi ty, at the holder's option, is retained. The first day of the Third Series opened 'with a subscription within a fraction of ,five millions, and the month, of June will cot.- y sec the last s the - -30 s out of mar- ket. How early in June we cannot Predict, but parties who wish to make su'e of a por tion would do well to he in time. Full particulars may be found in our ad vertising -columns. NATIONAL CEMETERY AT GETTYSBURG. —This famous resting-place of our brave sol diers who fell upon the most bloody battle field.of Pennsylvania, is' becoming as beauti ful as it is sacred, The massive stone wall enclosing the Western side of the cemetery Las been completed. It is a solid masonry, and is capped bylarge stone which have been handsomely dressed and so arranged as to turn off the rain. The iron fence separating the soldiers' cemetery from that of the town, .is nearly finished, and will be seventeen hun dred feet in length. The front, next the turnpike, is five hundred feet in length,. In the centre of this is a grand double gate, flanked by a single one on either side. The two principal , columns are surmounted by spread eagles of large proportions, perched upon a semi-globe Upon the face of the two columns are inscribed the names of the eighteen States represented by the Union troops in the battle. The lesser posts are surmounted by 'a draped urn. The centre piece of the smaller gates is a national shield; that of tke large__dmildc_gAte,_a_star_irt—a wreath of laurel. The front fence is heavy but handsome. Several hundred small trees have been planted throughout the cemetery, and 'perhaps a score, of workmen are employ ed in dressing and lettering the beautiful stone to be placed at the head of the graves. Some of these stones have already been laid lin their places. As the soldiers of each State were buried side by side. and separate from 'those of other States, the name of the State is omitted—the inscription being some-I I thing like the following: "John Smith, Co, B, 44th ltegt."

A large portion of their documents relating to the proceedings of their Congress and Government were packed up - ,and the most important sent to Charlottsville, N.

'These archives, etc., must un doubtedy possess the inteusest, and will prove the greatest trophies captured during the war. They are in charge of Cul.

When the guard went to the tent occupied by de funct royalty, they were met by Mrs, Davis en dishabille, with. "Please, gentlemen, don't disturb the privacy of ladies before they have time to mess " "All right; madam," said °the corporal, "we will et ait• tilt you have on your duds." Presently there appeared at the tent door an ostensible old lady, with a bucket on, her arm, escorted by Mrs Jeff Davis and hor sis ter. "Please let my old mother go to the sprin ! , for some water to wash iul' said Mrs. Jeff., in a pleading tone. "It strikes me your mother wears very big boots," said the guard, as he hoisted the old lady's dress With his sabre, and discovered a pair of number thirteen, calf skins. "And whiskers, too," said the sergenit, as he pulled the hood from her face; and lo ! Jeff. Davis, in all his littleness, stood before tlretn.

A correspondent who visited Davis & when they , arrived at Port Royal, thus de scribed their appearance and the ciraumstitn ces surrounding them: "In company with a number of others, in vited'by Col: Pritchard, I visited the craft containing the prisoners. We took a small steamer, and I can' hardly tell you with what - emotions I approached that little area of deck-room having securely 'within its limits the remains of the Confederacy which we have. been battling so long. As we swung along-side, a tall, spare man, dressed in gray having a wan, gaunt, and depressed look, his whiskers and moustache rather close cut and alruost-white, was-walking—along—the-space between the deck-cabin and bulwarks, and stopped for a moment to caress a little' girl very indifferently dressed, and then passed in at the gangway door. These were Jefferson Davis and his • daughter. I recognized at once the features which had once graced the. Senate Chamber of the United States. Then he bad a haughty, military air.. Then he was the leader of the Southern party in Con gress, dictating terms to Northern doughfe, ces imperiously. Now, the State prisoner, bent and borne down as though oppressed with weight of care and length of years.— Evidently, be has passed through a great deal of mental trouble for the last four years how much of it has had its influence, re ently,in_prolueing Bach a change, perhaps no one but himself knows. Once on board,. he seemed to be the observed of all observers.

His hat was drawn down pretty well over his eyes. so that only when he lifted his face could much . expression be noticed. No one wished to be introduced to him. Two of his children, a boy and girl, looking to be about six and seven years of age respectively, were' about everywhere, seemingly unconscious of the intense interest concentrated upon their sire. "Alexander' 11. Stephens, the Vie Presi dent of the late Confederacy, looks old. He has the same stoop, the same parchment like face the same keen eye, and the same fragile form that characterized him years ago—only he looks older. His manner was subdued, but not that of a prisoner. lie conversed freely, desiring information upon many points and canvassing without reserve reconhruc fion and the treatment of the subdued South, I in the way exactly that it struck his mind, never evincing the least - care or anxiety re specting himself personally."

He is cool, calm, collected—the only one who acts in anything like a hardy way —markedly different from his fellows, who appear weak, detected, cowardly criminals. There is something extraordinary about this fellow. He meets your gaze unflinch ingly, and sits like some animated statue, seemingly not as•much interested as the spec tators who stand for hours -eagerly listenino , to the 'evidence. It is held by many that he •: arnica in intellect but there is no •roof of the fact to be found upon his front. : eyes are bright, while defiant without mal. ice; his face is not unprepossessing, and ex. hibits many traits of intelligenes. His des. peration and skill are shown in the manner of his blood=thirsty attack on Secretary Sew ard, It is expected that the prosecution wilive ry soon,close their case, but it is not known how much time will be swallowed -up in the defence. I hear that at least two hundred witnesses have been called to support it. In a speech made by Mr. P. Taylor, a member of the raitish Parliament, in St. James Hall, London, he said: "It has been the pleasure of God that Abraham Lincoln should die for . these principles"—the princi ples of Emancipation—"not that in dying he should be We symbol' of their defeat, but that he should be the Pymbot of their tri umph." . _ .
