FREsHET ON TIE MISUNDERSTANDING
Sunday afternoon and night the fall of rain
was so great and uninterrupted that it caused
avery heavy ircshet in the Brandywnc. The
creek at the present writing, contains an i'm
mcnse body cf water. And what is very Pc
cuIiar, is the rapidity OF the rise, the creek
swelling in a few hours far beyond its usual
boundaries. The apprchcnsions Of danger
rom the flow were so great that the millers
were busly engaged yesterday in removing
their grain and other stock from the first floor
Of the mills, the watcrh having already reached
that point. The coopers, carpenters
and others are all nc lively employed in gath
crlng up the floating lumber and other prom
crty which has been started of by the flood
Quite an excitement prevailed in the vicinity
OF the bridge yesterday morning, III consc-
qucnce of this unexpected event.
Further up the Brandywine, the factories
were obliged to suspend operations, in con-
sequence OF the great height Of the water.

Mn. .EpToR The rain which fell in such
torrents OIL last Sabbath night has done a
large amount Of damage in this vicinity:
whole fields of wheat have been washed up,
mil dams and mill races have been swept
away, and the runs and creeks in the neigh
bolnood have never been known to have been
SO hich before. Some of the oldest inliabi-
tents say they never knew it to rain so bard
for such a long time. A great many farmers
will have o rc-seed their wheat, which will
be u serious Inconvenience to them at TINS
time as it will take some time for ground to
get dry enough to do it..

! PEOr. ANprRsON'S EXPLOSIVE BALL.-Thc
experiments Of Prof. Anderson with Ills new
lv-inycntcd cannon ball took place on Satur-
day, according to announcement, on tue Mo-
hawk Flats. A. wooden structure had been
erected for the purpose, and target pro yidcd
for firing at. \ large company was on the
ground anxious to see the result Of the cx-
pcrimcnts, firing from cannon with any kind
Of balls being thing new to most Of them.
The guns were Statioucd,at distance Of
thirty o. forty rods from the fort" There
were six &C th,m--oue in the charge Of q
squad Of the Citizens Cops, four Of the Scy-
mour Artillery, and one, an iron gun, from
Garrcttsyllle. The balls for five OF six shots
eraZcd the fort on its several sides. Finally
the gun under the charge Of The corps struck
the fort, passing through ON the left side
but cnycloping the building III smoke hall
from the IRON gun next struck on the right
and one from Capt. Myers, gun struck, igni-
tin the building and wrapping it i'll flames.
All this was done, be it remembered, at II
distance Of forty lolS. Tie cannon used
were mostly six Founders, and the powder
quite poor. One Of The balls which struck
the fort threw out masses of Sire like Il
rocket. Another, which STRICKEN the ground
at great distance bcyonl the fort, .
with fire and fame. These results were such
as, we are informed. are unparalleled in the
Annals Of gunncry.

MAJOR JACK DowNIN's OPINION. The re-
doubtablc Major Jack Downing has written
another letter to the President, through the
columns Of the National lntclliecnccr. The
ininitable satiriSt winds up as follows:
II see things thickening up all round You,
and with the troubles in Mexico, and Den
mark and Kansas, and the melting down and
mixing up of about fifteen political parties all
over the country and running them into thr.
ty new moulds, you must have your hand,
full, and will need all your friends to stick to
you: and assure you am not the man to

hoSSrTI on THE FALL OF SEBAsTOPOL. -
The New York Times publishes letter from
kossuth in relation to the fall of Sebastopol,
the leading idea of which seems to be that the
allies are very much in the condition of the
man who won an elephant ina raiile-they
will not what to do with the fortress now that
they have got it. He gives it as his decided
opinion that the prospects ofpeace are rather
lesScncd than Otherwise by the fall of the
south of the town. and still insists upon the
belief that it was great mistake that the
allies chose that point for an attack on Rus
STA. After abiding to the fall of Scbastopol
he says: "What, then, is next to come? In
my opinion, FOR the next winter the cam.
palgn will probably be restricted to the Cr-
inca, and next year it will still continue
there; while, on the other hand naval opera
lions in the Baltic will be resumed wi tn aug
mented forces, and on more effective scale. -
