From New ORLEANs.-We are indebted
to the steamer Woodford for New Orleans
papers of Saturday last. The overflow was
still doing great damage to the plantations
on the Lower Mississippi. The water at
vicksburg wasten inches higher than during
the great rise of last year. But at Memphis
the water had not been so high as last year
by eight inches. 1t is remarked as curious
fact that the largest crevasses have no ap-
parent effect in reducing the height of wa
ter below them. For few hours the wa
ter ceases to rise below, but in ashort time
the river shows the same increase in the
rise below as above. -
The insurance companies of New Orleans,
it is reported, are all amply able to meet
their losses of about a million and a half of
dollars, incurred by the recent series Of large
fires, and are strong enough to stand more
such shocks without muck Inconvenience

This result may be looked upon ms the
first step in the final downfall of the Church
in the Republic of Mexico, and the others
must soon follow. 1t has endeavored to re-
store to-power- in the nineteenth
theories which belong only to the sixteenth
century and it has failed. All the hopes
of the priests and their partisans were GEN.
tered in Miramon. His prestige is now bro
ken, and victory has deserted his standard
in the very attempt whose success he had
pronounced necessary for the triumph of the
cause he had embraced. This defeat will
give the constitutionalists new energy, and
we shall soon see them concentrating their
movements on the capital. pas
There is something more in this event. 1t
is the first defeat of the newly developed
policy of European intervention in the
Spanish Ameri, an republics. The French
Minister in Mexico has been the soul of the
Church party, and the British Minister
there has been his subservient tool. They
have proclaimed war against the republic
can constitutional form of government, and
have done all they could to destroy it in
Mexico, as they are doing in Central
America In the defeat of Miramon at Vera
Cruz their schemes are thwarted, and the
triumph of President Juarez will re-estab-
lish in Mexico institutions modelled after
our own

The Opposition in Maryland.

The American State Council held meet
ing in Baltimore last week, to determine up
on the future plans of that party in Mary
land, and to consult upon best measures to
unite the conservative Opposition masses oil
the Union in the canvass of 1860. After
discussion, the Council passed resolutions
inviting "the whole body of conservative
Opposition men in all the States of the
Union o ce-operate with them in selecting,
hereafter. delegates to national convention,
to be charged with the sole duty of nomina-
ting candidates for the Offices of President
and Vice President of tie United States, to
De voted for in 1860 by the whole OPPOSE
ton; and they go for candidates whose
past life, eminent fitness, aud unquestionable
nationality, shall entitle them TO the con-
servative vote of the whole country.
They recommend that the movement be
made without platform of political views
involving any doctrines of obsolete parties
or. sectional interests that the organization
shall 60 before the country as the great re-
form party of the Union--the supporters of
the Constitution as it shall be interpreted by
its constitutional expounders. What they
desire to see formed, is Federal party"
in the highest and most loyal sense of the
term; party that will adhere to and defend
the Union and Federal Constitution against
the Vaccinations and assaults of the sec
tional factions both at the North and the
South so@.H ..

The Charleston Mercury an old, thor
ough going Democratic print, commenting
upon the present position of its party, says
no party can exist in any vigor and effcien-
cy without recognized head and leader ;
that leader ought to be the President of the
United States; that Buchanan having been
repudiated, the party is now completely dis
organized. Of Mr.. Buchanan it says; e
The very first recommendation he made
bearing on the interests of the two sections
of the Union--the admission of Kansas into
the Union with the Lecompton Constitution
was opposed by a large portion of the
Democratic party from the North, in Con-
greSs. The opposition was carried into the
last fall elections, and the Presidents rec
concentration WAS everywhere in the North
repudiatcds and those who supported it
were defeated before the people by ou affili-
alton between the 7Abolitionists an the anti
Lecompton Democrats And how have the
recommendations OF the President Jared at
the late session of Congress2 With clear
maiorifyrof Democrats in both branches of
Congress, scarcely one Of them have been
supported Now, what do these things
show? Why, that the Democratic party
has no party cohesion, and is no party at all.
1t is broken up into little factions. One
faction supports the Pacific Railroad-an-
other protective tarif-another the Home
stead Bill-another the purchase or seizure
of Cuba--another squaiter Sovereignty
but all tending to one general consumation
the array of the two sections of the Union
AGAINST each other in deadly hostility. -
Whether we look to the operations of the
party with regard to the President, or with
regard to measures, there are distraction, dis
union and opposition amongst its members.
This was never. the case until sectonalism
became the great controlling element in the
politics of the Union Down TO the days oil
Van Buren,, the President was the honored
and respected head of the party. When
he recommended the adoption of the indie.
pendent treasury policy, the Democratic par
tv supported it. An who opposed it were
cut off as members of the party. Wher
President Polk recommended the Mexican
war, the party supported it, and all who OPP
posed it were out of the party. Sectionalism
lingering always as the great disturbing
cause which would, in due time, rend asun
der all parties and the Union itself, sprun,
up into its gigantic proportions from thi
war.

RENOVATION OF THE PEACH TREE.-rhe
editor of the New England Farmer says that
gentleman residing in Cambridge informs
him that charcoal placed around the roots of
the diseased peach stock, was serviceable.
He Immediately removed the stock from
around the trunk of sickly tree in his gar
den; supplied its place with charcoal, and
was surprised at its sudden renovation and
subsequent rapidity of its growth, and the
tenacity with which the fruit held on the
branch, and the unusual richness of its flavor
when matured. 4-.rfstEr- tssf z,-f-9t 9
