GREAT FLooD.-All the papers from
Northwest Virginia give accounts of very
destructive freshet which occurred in that
region on the 9th inst, occasioned by a
heavy fall of rain on the three preceding
days. The Westfork river is said to have
been ten feet higher than ever before
known. A large number of dwelling houses,
mills and bridges on the Westfork, the Elk,
the Valley and the Little Kanawha rivers
were destroyed. The town of Worthington,
IN Marion County, about seven miles above
Paramount. was entirely carried away, with
the exception of two houses. Thirteen
houses we've counted passing Morgantown,
and one was stopped above. The entire
loss, says the Standard, Of Pruntytown,
Taylor County, cannot fall short of seventy
five or one hundred thousand dollars, per-
baps much more. Strange to say, no loss
Of life is reported.

JUDGE BALDWIN.

We are authorized to announce that
Judge BALDWIN is no loager candidate for
election to the Supreme Court Of Appeals.
Since, he became a candidate Ire has been
attacked by disease which renders it I'M
probable that he will be able to perform eff
Gent public service, and he deems it to be
due to the, people of the Section to make
known his change ofpurpose in order that
they may take such action thereupon as
may in their judgment be required by the
public interests.

85- KossUTH has returned to Washing
ton, aad at the date of the last account was
quietly receiving the calls of Members of
Congress and other visiters, without any
public demonstration. He passed through
Richmond unheralded, and made no pause
except for few minutes at the Railroad
depot. His baggage was entered for that
place, however, which shows that he ex-
pected an invitation to tarry. The Fred
ericksburg Herald says. the black hat with
feathers must undergo change, as the dis
tinguished functionary who started the fash
ion in this country has assumed the char
acter of 'the man with the white hat"

nS- The latest information from Rich.
mond is, that the election of Justices, Con-
stables and Overseers of the Poor, will take
place on the third Saturday (the 15th) Of
May, and the election of other county of
fcsrs ON the fourth thursday (the 27th) OF
the same month. We learn, also, that a
bill viii probably be passed for the e.
lection of one Constable by the first and
second districts of this county, together,
and authorizing one of the two places of
voting for the second district to be estab-
lished in the town of Staunton.

o. A committee Of the two Houses of Congress
has made contract with the Union and Republic,
by which the one is TO have the public printing Of
the House s. the other of the Senate. The Southern
Press and all the ireeaters are in great passion
on account of the coalition" and, aided by the
Freesoilers, are trying to break it up. A warm
controversy has been going on in the House in ref
erence 10 the matter. M. Brown, Of Miss, an
nounced on Wednesday, that if Southern Rights
men are TO be prescribed, they would probably feel
it due to their dignity to prescribe in turn,and that
his course in the Presidential canvass was to be
controlled by the action on this subject.

The House ofDelsgates has passed the bill pre-
venting the execution of sentence Of death in pub
lie, and it is expected that the Senate will pass 1t
without delay. This is very wholesome change
in our criminal code. There can be no doubt as 10
the demoraizing effects Of Pnblc executions. The
bill provides that executions shall take place in
the Jail yard in The presence Of the officers OF the
court, the convic,'s counsel and relatives, min
lister Of the gospel and twelve respectable ei'lzenS'
including physician or surgeon.
