Uho are to be our candidates in Virginia, at

that the appropriate conventions will decide

Heauy Rain-Ffsshst on the sFaiis-A Public
Blsssing--St. Yalsntins's Day--7ns Police
Bill ReviUed.
BALrnfoRE, Feb. 10, 1855.
The havy rain Of Tuesday night produced quite
A sudden rise in the waters of Joness falls, and,
for a time threatened disastrous consequences to
the property bordering on that most nithy stream.
The water rose some seven or eight feet above the
usual height and went roaring and rushing along
like mountain torrent, sweeping down vast masses
of ice and also considerable quantity OF lumber
and other yaluabes washed from its shores in Bal
timore county.
Fish market space, Concord, and other streets
in the neighborhood, were flooded with water, va
rying in depth from one TO three feet and many
cellars In the locality were filed causing instances
of considerable Inconvenience, but no loss OF mo-
ment The cellar and lower floor of the large sugar
refinery Of Messrs. Dougherty l. Wood, at LON.
bard street bridge, were flooded, but there was
no serious damage sustained, though reports wsrs
in circulation that large quantities Of sugar had
been ruined.
The cause Of the overflow was In the negligence
of heavy pieces Of timber driven into the bed Of
the stream, to sustain the old Canton avenue
bridge, some time back. These logs, by stopping
the ice from passing out, caused the water to rise
feardy, and but for the fact that the ice was very
rotten, and quickly broke up into small fragments,
presenting only temporary obstruction, or we
should have doubtless hadse most disastrous food
to record.
The food accomplished one good work in sweep
ing from the bed of the Falls the accumulated filth
Of the past year, and may therefore be set down
as public blessing to the citizens Of Baltimore.
The health Of the coming summer will doubt not
be very measurably promoted by this same food.
All the dredging machines in the country could
not have accomplished half as much good in six
months.
The recurrence Of st. Valentines day yesterday
appeared to be less generally observed than on
former years. Those who are smarting under Gu
pd's darts doubtless improved the opportunity to
fire back and no doubt the dimpled little urchin
with his full CULVER is responsible rmany mschey-
GUS pranks committed yesterday; but the former
indiscriminate sending of valentines has been to q
great extent omitted especially that most reprehen-
sible practice of sending miserable caricatures,
with view Of ridiculing falling or weakness in
an acquaintance; or worse STILL for the purpose Of
sporting with sensitive feelings, or paying off a
grudge against an enemy. With all right-minded
people, this practice Of sending caricature valen-
tines has been voted decidedly vulgar, mean, and
contemplate; and it is with pleasure ! observe
that the abuse has been much abated
The city police bill which was 50 hastily killed
off in the first branch of the city council on Tues
day, was revived with sundry amendments in the
second branch last evening, and the opinion now is
that it will pass. AMERIcUs.

The Late I" Harry Of the West"
He was justly reputed an eminent statesman
bold, uncompromising, and eloquent--but dis
tempered ambition Tor the suspicion thereof de-
feated, forever all his high hopes aud aspirations.
Harry Of the East,
Always the perfect gentleman---frank, manly,
and brave, with high order Of talents, is doomed
to similar defeat, solely and alone in conse-
quence of the III advice of his friends, whereby
he has been completely deceived and misled.
The abuse heaped upon the Know-N othings
by the friends Of Mr.. Wise is as uncalled for as
1t Is offensive, unprovoked and utterly unfounded,
in point Of fact; and its evident tendency is to
intimidate the people from the practical exercise
of their honest convictions and patriotic Intentions
Many of the people have heretofore felt and
expressed deep and lively interest in the po-
litical character of Mr.. Wise, but forasmuch as
his advocates, as well as himself, have thought
proper to wage war against the order of :" Know
Nothings," he as well as they must expect that
that order win defend itself by all lawful ways
aud means.
Mr.. Wise Is not aware, presume, that in at
lacking the "Know-N othings" he is attacking
thousands and tens of thousands who otherwise
would have delighted to do him honor" but
the deed is done, and cannot now be undone
Tame, indeed, must be that man who would
quietly submit to unprovoked and unjust scorn and
contempt, without indicating, asserting, and de-
Tending his honor and dignity as free and patri-
otto citizen The base and vicious are, generally
speaking, sly, tame and tirnid-while, on the other
hand, the just and virtuous are ever bold, open,
and brave 1t is the inspiration Of virtue, and the
glorious effects of concious integrity Of soul which
elicit these qualities
True It is, that the cords Of love cam and ever
have bound the affections Of the people in good
and full faith to all those entitled to their respect
and confidence; while the sword, or threats, or de-
nunciations, have terrors for the free and the
brave" True it is, that eloquence, like sweet mu-
sic, has charms to sooth, even the "savage breast
much less men of feeling, and glaring sympathies
but these gentle soothings and kind impulses never
fail to yield to the stern duties Of devoted patriot
ism hence the justness Of the maxim, " Our coun-
try first, our friends next" Then, let the enemies
of the Know Nothings beware Of the Ides' OF

The Fredonia On. - Advertiser has long
article on the election Of Mr.. Seward, from
which we make the following extracts:
"Thc recent election Of Mr. Seward against the
wishes Of great majority Of the people, is not cacu-
lated to restore to him the confidence of the electors
of the county, or allsy suspicious ss to the means
employed 10 effect il. They regard him not as the
representative Of the people, but Of corrupt
junto who have scrupled at no means for his cleo
ton; who have forced contributions from Office
holders and expectants, and from canal contrac-
tors, which in the end are to be made up by extra
allowances and valuable contracts and which the
people in the end are to pay for to the extent Of
hundreds Of thousands out Of the State treasury.
The people cannot comprehend this alliance be-
tween pretended virtue and corruption, nor how
is II that while the equals Of Mr. Seward in ability
and patriotism arc without any extraneous support
he should be able TO PROSTATE the integrity OF the
Legislature by the power of gold. :
1--WE consider the election OF Mr.. Seward no
triumph to him or his friends that, like the apples
Of Sodom, fair and wholesome 10 the eye, Il win be
only dust and ashes TO the taste. He returns mo-
rally attainted, with the ban Of condemnation upon
him. The circumstances connected with his re-
election viii be too notorious TO allow him to pos
sess any influence there, or 10 secure any respect
TO the principles he advocates. IL will Of course
be known that he is not elected by majority OF
the people Of the State, but holds his seat against

The HIeHER Law ExKsrLuIID.--It Is unjust
and improper, says the Buffalo Democracy, (Abo-
lition,) to keep sacredly an obligation or pledge
made in opposition 70 the election Of Mr.. Seward

est degree, to mob Legislature adverse TO the pas
sage Of the Maine law, and thereby to achieve that

The Belgian Paupers and Criminals.
Mayor Wood, of New York, has addressed
the following letter to the Belgian Consul:

MAYORS OrrIcE, New York,
February IA, 1855.
SrR: After mature deliberation and eIami-
nation of the testimony taken before Justice Bo-
CART, together with additional information from the
American Consul at Antwerp, just received, am
reluctantly forced TO the onclusion that the per-
sons now In the city prison, who came as emf
grant passengers by the ship Rochambeau, from
Antwerp, are not Of a character to be permitted
to go at large in this city or in this country and
while we cannot set them at liberty, we cannot
longer retain them in custody.
Some measure must be adopted ut once TO re-
lieve the city from the expense OF providing for
them, and at the same time TO secure us from the
danger of their presence abroad in the country.
Therefore, as il is beyond question, from the evil
dence before me, and which is open TO your exam
nation, that they were embarked at Antwerp by
the order and at the expense Of the Belgian local
authorities suggest that they be returned 10 their
own country at the cost of the Belgian govern
ment whose agent you are in this city.
see no other recourse. Humanity and justice
require that they should no longer be retained in
prison in this city, when they have committed no
offence; and sefpreservaton requires that we shall
prevent them being set at liberty, with the belief
that their presence would be dangerous TO our pro-
perty.
From your high character In this city, knowl
edge and appreciation Of our institutions, con-
fdent you will comprehend the necessity which
forces me to take this position, and promptly re-
spond to the request that these people be re-cm-
barked for Antwerp without delay.

the captain, first and second mates, had been
stabbed by one of the crew put the first officer Of
the Darlington on board to take the ship into the
Cape Of Good Hope, for medical assistance for the
wounded.
The following is the statement Of Captain Ropes,
Of the ship Medford:
Dec. 10, 420 miles from the Cape OF Good Hope,
as the Captain went af, to caution the man at the
helm regarding the steering of the ship, he became
insolent and upon his attempting to chsstise him,
the rest Of the crew ran aft TO the mans George

and knocked him down. The captain ordered
all hands forward, who obeyed, except one man,
Charles Stephens, who used insulting language, and
attempted TO draw his knife at 2 p NJ, when
Stevens was on his way AFT TO relieve the wheel,
he drew his knife on the captain, when he and the
second mate attempted to take II from him, when
he stabbed the captain in FIVE different places the
first mate in the arm, the second mate in the alb
domen, from which his bowels protruded. Tho
wounds were dressed as well AZ circumstances
would permit, and at 4, P. NJ, Stevens came sft
and surrendered himself prisoner He was put
in irons and confined in the lower cabin, the cap
tain and mates being in very low state.

Il Is understood that Mr.. Mcguire claims the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Seward as his victory, and that his
