Tho memory of .the oldest inhabitant"

were. SO high in THIS part Of the country, as
they were last week, or when there has been
80 much property destroyed by thom The
Potomac river was six feet higher than during
the memorable freshot Of 1s47. At Frost
burg and Cumberland the destruction and
lcss cfpropcrty was great-how great we have
not learned. The damage done to the Ches-
speakc and Ohio Canal is immense-the chief
engineer thinks that SSo000 will repair it
and that it can be done in two or three months
The baltimore and Ohio Rail Road suffer
ed very little--the bridge at Harper's- Ferry
was in danger but withstood the shock and
is safe. Two passenger trains were detain-
cd above this point, and one here, two or
three days, because of water on the track.
Noloss was sustained by the Rail Road Com
pany at Mariinshurg. The Winchester and
Potomac Rail Road Company suffered severe
ly-the entire tressel work aud two bridges

The loss st Georgetown and Alexandria j:
heavy. The loss to individuals along the
the river is iucalculable.
Mr. Lemon had his store aud entire stool

Mr., Michael Courtney lost some twenty heat
Of cattle; Mr. Charles lost from Williams
port 400 or 500 barrels of -four, and 80 bar

the county, and Offering a reward of 800

THE wn,c CONVENTION.

We last week gave 50 much Of the pro-
ceediogs Of this Convention as had then been
received, so much Of the balarce Of the pro-
ceedings as are Of immediate interest to cur
readers. will be found in another column -
No one who has carefully read the resolutions
Of this Convention. will fail to recognize prin-
ciples truly patriotic and Republican. There
are no vague gcncralities, they are plain,
cxplicit-based upon the Constitution, and
are 10 the strictest accordance with the prin.
ciples upon which our Governmental fabric
rests. Robcrt H. Scott, of Fouquicr, well
remarked, when about to report the resolu-
tions to the Convention, There is no plank
in our platform for the Free soiler to stand
uponno ylank for the Disuuiouist to stand
upon--no plank for the SSecessiopist to stand
upon" The Vhig party il Virgiuia is a

Of JUNG next, there is good reason to believe
he will receive the Electoral vote Of the Old
Dominion. So true has he been to the Con-
siitution,--.to the South, and to the best
interests Of the whole country,--so wise and
patriotic has been the entire policy of bis adj
ninistration. that his enemies have been dis
armed, prejudice has yielded, and all honest
men Of all parties are willing to accord to him
honesty, purity, and firm determination to
do his duty, and lis whole duty. He has
known "no North, no South, no East,no lYest."

Of Virginia as is clearly indicated by the res
buttons Of the Convention. But should be

that he who may receive it, will have the
hearty support of the wings Of Virginia, -
because we have no doubt the nominee, who
ever lie may be, will be fully pledged to sup

as they are With such man. and no other

FIxANcEsOF VIRGINIA.

According to the Finance report of the
Virginia House of Delegates the house Of
Selden, Withcrs & Co.. Of Washington, are
the agents for the sale Of four millions OF
State bonds. They are to account to the
State for one million at par and two per cent
on the three millions. and are to be entitled
to any excess over that amount. The last
quoted price of these bonds was 1097zs-tbus
giving to the Washington brokers, nearly
100000 on the first million. and fraction
Of $4,000 on each Of the three remaining
millions--an operation by which the State
loses $340 900, the whole Of which goes into
their pockets. So We see it stated - Bait

relation to the present debt of Virginia. The

because We did not copy all his correspondent

Of the London Times, is a curiosity of

GRAFTON: ..
10 the Editor ofthe Times: SlR-The
Americans are sure TO beat us upon ih 9
and all similar questions, and therefore.
! am glad to find you are preparing Il e
the public for such an issure. II o
truth is that Americans will never sui
nit Dog-in-the Manger" pretensions.
but will Just help themselves TO what We
can make no use Of with treaty or will
out treaty. The world is for us all
"The earth hath He given 10 the chill
dren Of men"-and the time is gone by
when large tracts, either OF land or sea,
should be, as il were ta6ooed, under a
nominal proprIetorship. And IT is only
10 be regretted that we do not ourselves
fall into this view OF the matter, and
claim all the advantages Off in the al
fair OF the guano island. Our Statesmen
should take a lesson IRON the Ameri
cans. The Americans just go straigLt
on, upon practical common sense. anG, l
may say, English" princi; les. We,
on the other hand, attempt too much re.
finemcnt OF diplomacy OF Russia, France
or Austria; and as Tor the Americans,
they care as much for such things as a
large bluebottle fly cares Tor the nieshes
of "A gossamcr cobweb. In the mean
time, / trust that you will spare no ei-
forts 10 keep these two great and glori-
Gus countries in the striciest bonds Of

MuslcAL.-Ths Concert of Alhoni st
Philadelphia on Monday evening was
crowded and enthusiastic TO the last
degree. The great songstrcss had
glorious triumph. Her last concert in
New York, for the present. will be
given next Tuesday night, and will be
another triumph.
OF Sontag's first concert IN New
York, the Mirror says:
If the flowers Of melody she gave us,
were not the Spring flowers Of her
genius fresh, fragrant and sparkling
with the dues of May, they were as
beautiful and gorgeous as anything that
ever sprang from the 4" Indian Summer
OF Nature, or Of Art. In her physique,
she is a handsome, German looking
woman OF forty-iive, with beautiful
teeth, light eyes, thick bown hair, full
figure, (not slight" us the Herald
sees i,) and bust for n statue. She
Sings with more apparent eilori than
either Jenny Lind or Alboni and
moves upon the stage with more ease
ard grace. An attempt to describe the
effect OF her wonderful execution would
only be exhausting superlatlvcs, and
perhaps the patience OF our more sober
readers.

BoNNRTs.--Since Eve vacated Eden,
where she wore, according 10 the best
authorities, nothing but fg leaves, wo-
men have ransackcd every realm Of
fancy for a head-jrcss combining utility
with the picturesque. All nations vary
in their taste in the primises. In Eu-
rope, generally, caps are universally
worn; hut in this country, as IN Eng
land, bonnets are the beau ideal Of gen
tiliiy. We had no idea that bonnets
c)uld be made SO pretty, could be so
c1quitely adapted TO u lovely face, and
add to It's lo,elIncss, until We saw some
fashioned by Mr.. French, (corner Of
Thames aud Church streets whose
skill and taste are both unique and adj
mirablc. Millinery, in such hands, is a
science. Mr.. French as an importer and
artifcer, surpasses all rivalry, We CON
cieve, in this place. Look.o yourself,
u you doubt our Judgment.
