SECOND DISPATCH.
PHILApELPHIA. Sept.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. B.
At an early hour this morning, the scene
from Fairmount TO the Naval Asylum was
terrific. The rush ami roar OF the angry
waters was appalling. The wharves were
all hid from view, some ten feet water being
over them. Warehouses mills. coal, and
iron yards, houses. &c. inEumerable were in
undated. The smaller buildings which stood
near the piers, looked as il they had changed
their position TO the middle of the river. The
water rose 10 such an altitude in the manu-
featuring districts, gas works, and the foot of
Market street. as 10 stop all operations. The
Fairmount water works will not run again for
some days. AT two o'clock this morning the
water on Fairmount dam was 10 ieet 1OI
inches high. No estimate cas- be made of
the destruction Of corn and other property
Black Rock bridge and ManyunI bridge are
gone, and the mills at Manyunk were under
water. The Reading railroad sustained
much damage.

The Texas boundary Question.

The attention of the country is chained
to the action of Congress. The Texas boun-
dairy bill is still subject of alarming differ
encs. Its Ultimate fate cannot be toresecn.
The people are in suspense and almost trem-
bic in anticipation Of the result
The fact that this boundary question con-
tains the germ Of a dangerous controversy
cannot be disgused-one even more threat
ening to the integrity OF our Government
and perilous TO the stability of our Union
than the vexed slavery question. 1t prom
Uses conflict wherein the authority OF the
Federal Government will be brought in d.
rect Issue with the assumed rights of a State
"a conflict, too, wherein three lourths Of the
agreved commonwealth. Should the ques-
ton not be settled in q manner satisfactory to
Texas, judging from the past, we are forced
to believe that che will at once commence
hostilites with New Mexico. This SO, and
the President, under the constitution, will be
bound to employ the Executive authority in
support OF the jurisdiction of the United
States. May heaven prevent the occur
renee cf an event SO fraught with portents
Of evil. Such Il conflict would annihiIale the
feelings Of national fraternity which at pres
ent bind us together, and give our Union ;
blow that would shatter it to fragments.
We can yet hope. however, that tn,
wisdom Of the country will act-ect Jealous
iy 10 prevent such national disaster. W.
may yet hope that the boundary bill which ba
already passed the Senate, may pass tn
House, satisfy Texas and restore our coun
Try to its wonted tranquility.

A TRAGEDY "A shocking affair says the
Natchitoches Ua.) Chronicle recently took
place in Texas. A Mr.. Wiley, living upon
the Sabine near Van Randi, had separted
from his wife. 1t appears that he afterwards
visited her at a house in the neighborhood,
where she was residing, and proposed d.
vision of the property, to which she consent
ed. He then took her bchind him Oh his
horse and proceeded to their former house
which they reached on apparently friendly
terms. During the division of the proper ~
he requested her to walk out in the yard
with him. As sood as he left the house he
shot her dead with pistol, and mounted his
horse 10 escape. A number of citizens fol-
lowed and overlook him in Rusk county and
killed him.
