The PACIFIC RATLRoAD.-The Journal Of Commerce,
commenting on Senator OWNS speech on the Paci-
fic Railroad Bill, says:
1t is clear to our minds that in one way anoth-
er the road must be built, and that it cannot be
built too soon. We deem it in every sense right and
proper that the national government should aid a
work so truly national, by liberal contracts for
conveying the mails, ammunition and troops, and
also by alternate sections of land along the route.
The loan of credit to the extent of Sl250O or any
other sum per mile, is matter more liable to OBJ
lection. and could only be justified by the very ex
traordinary and peculiar character of the enter
PRISE its magnitude, and the national benefits GER
tain to result from it, Without committing ourselves
to any particular BILL we go for the early construc-
ton of the Road,-not by the government, but
whenever such aid as the government can properly
render, shall induce capitats to undertake the en-
terprse We believe that time has now come, or
is near at hand and we therefore hope that Con
gress will take up the subject in earnest, and de-
vote to it so much of their time and attention as
may be necessary to bring them to wise results.

Hiram Todd, respectable farmer of Mortified,
Conn.,, was killed by his son, young almost
thirty years old, on Thursday. High words having
passed between father and son, the latter drew a
drk-knife and pursued the old gentlemen, who took
refuge in his bedroom, closing the door after him,
and holding it fast The son attempted to burst in
the door; but, failing in this, he appears to have
stood by, waiting for his father. AS the
door was opened, the son plunged the knife into
the bowels of his father, ripping them open that
hey protruded upon the floor as he fell! The
young when arrested talked freely with the
offcers-told them he bought the dirk in Plymouth
about week before con purpose to prick the old
man" if he attempted to interfere with him again.

WASHINGTON, June 9, 1858.

WASHINGTON, June y, 1000.
AN ExPLANATtoN,-A letter was received here
this morning from Commander Rodgers, of the
Water Witch, Mt Key West, stating that he had
met there the British sloop'of.war Jasper, which
was in search of the "Styx" and other offending
cruisers, with orders from the Comrnodurcs station
10 arrest them. The captain of the Jasper In
formed Commander Rodgers that the british
cruisers we're acting under orders issued in lo41.
no new ones having been issued on the SUBJECT.
Lord Napier received dispatches to-day from
the commander of the British West India squad
ron, expressly disavowing having authorized the
recent acts of visitation, and explicitly disclalm-
ing having any instructions contemplating such
a Contingency or possibility. He states further
that. Immediately upon being informed OF the
offensive proceeding, he dispatched the sioop
Jasper in search of the Styx and other cruisers
with orders to bring them in, intending to mold
the officers to a strict account. The instructions
under which the squadron lie now acting are over
ten years old.
These dispatches were communicated to the
President and Cabinet, and produced q reacuve
feeling of relief, which is only qualified by the
apprehens sion that some Of our vessels ordered to
the Gulf may retaliate.
Lord Napier feels satisfied from this lnteilr
renee, that his dispatches from England, expect
ed next week, will authorize the fullest explana'
ton.
instructions given to our officers sent to the
Gulf authorize them distinctly to prevent any at
tompt to visit, detain, examine. or question
American vessels. Some reservation was impos'
cd, but The margin was still wide enough Tor re-
dress. if disposition to seek it be entertained,
Most of the officers are, however, discreet and
able.

THE FLOODS.

Immense damage has been done in all parts OF
the West and South by the almost incessant rains
of the last month and especially by the floods OF
last week; we give some extracts from our OK
changes.

Mississippi is doing immense damage between
this city and St. Louis. as well as at the South

nted from bluff to bluff to the depth of several
feet. The wood choppers seems to be the worst
sufferers. They have been driven from their cab
ms, and worst Of all much of their wood has been
carried away by the flood, after great labor in
c~hopping and piling it on the bank. some helds
are also under water, and crops totally destroyed
for the present season. The towns of Alexandria,
no., East Burlington, III Burlington, Iowa, are
all completely inundated. Portions OF many 0th-
ar towns and cities are also under water, and at
some places the river has expanded itself over the
bottoms to the width of ten or fifteen miles -
Hogs, cattle and other domestic animals have IN
some instances been lost in the

the owners. 1t is said tina. the inhabitants of Mi
norca have the following amusement on their list.
viz: donkey races, in which there may be from
twelve to twenty competitors. The rules of the
race are, that no one who starts shall turn back
or stop, and that the last one at the goal shall be
considered the winner. OF course it is for the in.
terest of every aspirant for the prize to urge
forward the donkey on which ne rides. and keep
back his own, ridden by another. 1t must be a
very comical and ladicrous sport, and being a
very unusual thing we throw it out Az worthy the
attention of the Horse Committee. Sucl a race

From our exchanges and other sources of in

decline on the supposition that somebody else can
do much better. A large number Of exhibitors,
will OF itself give an impetus to the objects of the
Society, by manifcsting an interest ON the part of
the people.
We see there are advertised Circuses, Theatres
and other shows for the Goth. and the preceding
day. But if the ITorticulturlists and Florists will
do us they can and should, they will afford a more
pleasant and profitable exhibition than any of the
yaerant showmen can offer.

CITY CouacA-The Council was called to or
der at O'Clock. The roll was called, and the
proceedings of the previous meeting read and
approved! The special order Of the meeting
was announced to, be the consideration of the.
license question.
Mr.. PanneIl moved that the license to Dan
Rice's Circus be reduced to $50 instead of $50
as provided by ordinances. Carried. e
The petition of MIR. Busby and others, asking
the Council to appoint Committee to confer
with them on the subject of the East Wheeling
Grave Yard, regarding ownership. present con-
dition, &c, was granted. Messrs. Knote, Pan
nell and A. Wilson were appointed as said COM
mittee.
Mr.. LETTERS moved that the rules he suspend
ed in order to authorize the payment of bill.
of the Rough and Ready Fire Company. The
motion was carried and the bill ordered to the
paid.
ses upon coffee houses ordinaries, &c. Mr..
Hubbard here stated that nearly all the second
class coffee houses use tho privileges for which
the first class coffee houses pay. The former
pay license of fifty dollars, while the latterpa
from one hundred and fifty. to three hundred.
He proposedto equalize by assessing tax of
one hundred dollars upon each. ~
Mr.. Arthur favored this proposition. sy
Mr.. khOte thought it would be best to make
less distinction between the two, so that the
temptation to use first class privileges for sec
ond class pay, would. not be so great, first class
coffee houses only, being allowed to dispense
spirituous liquors
Mr.. James Wilson favored the abolition of
second class coffee houses altogether.
Mr.. Jacob explained the ordinance for the
beneftof Council, when Mr.. Hubbard moved
to equalize the license, upon which debate en-
sued. The motion was finally put and lost.
Mr.. Pannell said he could take members to at
least twenty coffee houses, the keepers of which
sell liquor and beer without paying any license
at all. Various other members knew of viola
tons of law in this regard
The licenses were fixed according to the rent
al value of the houses, and the ordinance passed,
being, upon the whole, similar to the one asses
sing licenses last year.
The special committee appointed to confer
with the fire companies reported resolution
which authorized the Clerk TO issue his checks
upon the Treasurer for any sum not exceeding
fifty dollars per quarter, yearly, to each fire
company, upon the requisition of the Finance
Committe of said company. Also that the
Fire Companies be requested to make their
nominations for Chief and Assistant Engineers.
The report was adopted.
On motion, the Council adjourned.
