A melancholy accident is recorded in the Detroit Gazette,by which whole family per. ished. On the 9th inst. the wind raised the water in the Detroit River foot higher than it has ever been known to rise before, and caused the water to flow back into the streams which discharge themselves into the strait; and into the lake above and below the river Raisin, 50 as tO dc considerable damage to fen ces, &c. The banks of Otter Creek, below the Raisn were Overfowed in the course of the night, and some houses were surrounded with water and floating ice. It was here that the disaster happened.
 A house, in which was mother and five children, with young woman, (the husband was few miles distanO was surrounded by the flood, before the inmates who had retired to bed, were aware of their danger. The noise of the water, and the larring or moving of the house, awakened the mother, who rose
 in state of alarm, and with three of the chil- dren, and the young woman, hastened from the house. and endeavored ta escape through the ice and water. They had not gone far before the mother discovered that two of her children, whom she thought the young wo- man had brought from the house, were left behind ; and her maternal feelings overcoming her fear, she. gave the three children into the care of the young woman, and hastened to the rescue of her little ones that were left be hind: The poor woman, however, could no1 bear up against the cold and the food her strength was exhausted, and she sunk down calling for the young woman to exert herself fer the rescue of the children that were with her. The young woman left the mother and two children to their fate, and succeeded in reaching neighboring house. which was also surrounded with water and forsaken. It ap- pears that she could not get into the house. and endeavOred to save the children by pla- cing them on a ladder : they were SO chilled however, that they could not remain on the ladder, and one of them fell off and was drowned. She then placed the other two in an oven, which was built near the house, upon which she succeeded in climbing. In this situa- ton she remained until morning, having near ly perished with cold and suffering. The children in the oven were too tender to endure the hardships to which they had been expo sed the little sufferers were found dead. The mother and two children that were left behind also perished.

 Jassy, Dee. n.
 This town and the environs were yesterda, thrown into the greatest alarm. A repo' was circulated that body Of I,500 Turkis cavalry had crossed the Danube at TurtukaN and marched towards Bucharest upon which messengers were immediarely despatched. by the Boyars of the town, tO the Russian from tiers, tO announce this news. Upon this in formation there was general stir in the Rus sian army, and two puks of COssacks, we know not whether hy their own accord or by superior orders, put themsek es in motion & crossed the Pruth. The Pruthneers long resi- dents here brought communication from Gen. KOrsakOw, upon which the Col. instantly has tened to Skulianky, the headquarters of General KOrsakOw, and on the road cOmman- ded the Cossacks to return to their former station behind the Pruth, with which order they immediately complied. When Colonel dePOrtas had arrived at Skulianky, and de- clared the inrOads of the Turks into the Municipalities to be fiction invented at Jas sy, as he had received no official accounts by way of Bucharest, which certainly would have been sent to him, on such an important event, the Russian troops received orders to halt and to return to their old cantOnments. Very serious remarks are made here respec- ting the rapid proceedings of the Russian ant guard they prove that the army is au- thOrized on the first news of any event, con trary to the Treaty, to act on the offensive, without waiting for orders from St. Peters burgh.

 In this last county it will be remembered there are two sets nf candidates; the above mentioned, nom- mated at what is called the regular republican con- vention held at Norwak the 27th ult, and Zalmon Wildman aud Abraham D. Baldwin, nominated at Fairfield on the 14th alt. Both are claimed as the friends of Dstricng; and if the claim be well foupd- ed the preference would fall decidedly ia favoof the former, inasmuch it is better to support sort of order than order at all Our remarks last week upon this subj ject predicated upon the supposed fact that the Norwak ticket to be anti-dstrictng and that the Fairfield ticket was made out on that very account. We understand that Judge Fairchd was sthe principal of the latter meeting so this circumstance alone will condemn and destroy it. Mr. Widman has however been heretofore rather abused in his county for his friendship measure which his persecuters pretend advocate. This is streng proof of his faithfuness aud rather an argument a. gainst his opponents.
 Harttord County.-John M. Niles, and NoadiaIi Weodruf.-Both staunch Jackson men, nominated by few choice spirits on that very A general republican meeting is to be held in Hartford the 7th, to make out different and better nomination. We shall see whether old and well tried republicans to be ejected from office, make room tor "He- rotes" simply because the Times says they have be- come ederaits by supporting the present administra ton. We do not ksow but majority of the freemen will support this nomination, but must be permit ted to doubt the fact until has been tested. We presume every nomination which recommends can- didates friendly to the Dstr;cting bill, will be general ly supported throughout the state. Before make any further remarks upon this subject, however, hear what the friends of the bill in the raI counties have say about the candidates in their vicinity. We for disricng the state for the choice senator's and friends ot thls measure wil find in us hearty supporter.
