land mail, with San Francisco dates to March q
arrived here this afternoon. The agent of tn
Central Overland Express Company started iror
Sacramento on the 2lst, to stock the route toward
Salt Lake, taking over hundred animals. A let
ter received from Kanagawa, Japan, dated the ct
OF February, says the Powhattan, according to tn
news first received from Jeddo, will probably sal
with the Japanese embassy direct to Acapulco
(there to coal, )and then proceed to Panama Thi
is later news from Jeddo than the Japan steame
Candlnmarruh brought, and comes from such
source as to throw a doubt on the previous an
nouncement that the PGwhattan was to sail fo

1lcting, the Legislature is preparing to give th
ambassadors grand reception should they vsi

Heavy Freshets in the West
PITTsBURG, April 1.-THE heavy rains of the past
three days have had the effect of swelling our rivers
to flood height. The Monongahela commenced
rising slowly on Monday afternoon, and on Tuesday
morning had attained height of thirteen feet
the lower end of the First Ward, Allegheny, were
submerged to the first floor, and by Tuesday eve
ming the cellars, as far up in the ward as Rebecca
street, were flooded. so rapid was the "risng o
the waters" that the people in the vicinity OF
"Barefoot" square had barely time to remove
their effects, while large quantity of lumber
mOored along the banks of both rivers was carried
OIL. From the immense amount of rain that has
fallen we have no doubt-unless the Monongahela
recedes before the ALLEGHENY comes out in her
strength-that all the low lands will be submerged
by noon to-day. During Monday night t,co inches
OF rain fell, and though appearances indicated a
clearing up, for time yesterday, night ap-
preached, dark clouds doomed up, and prospects
were favorable to continuance of stormy weather
At dusk yesterday evening there were twenty five
feet In the channel of the Monongahela, and rising
at the rate of six inches an hour.
SECOND DESPATCH.
The low lands along the Monongahela and Allie
ghenY rivers have been cOmplety inundated The
rise came so suddenly that thirteen canal boats on
the Monongahea were swept over the dam and
sunk, causing loss of over $4,000. The loss on
the Allegheny has also been considerable several
manufactures being flooded. Families have been
driven from their dwellings to seek refuge at dis
lance The railroads have also suffered by landslides
and travel is much impeded. Altogether this is
one OF the most destructive freshets we have expe-
rienced for many years. The waters have now
nearly attained their highest stage, and are still
rising at the rate of about an inch per hour. The
Monongahela pier mark indicates 80 feet 4 inches
being only 20 inches less than during the great
freshet of 1852.
CLEVELAND, April l2.-The heavy rains of the
past few days have resulted in considerable obstruc
tlon to the railroads in the State. The Cleveland
and Pittsburg and the Central Ohio Roads are both
washed away in several places and will be rendered
lmpassable for day or two. A message from CO.
lumbus says that all the roads leading into that
place are overtiown.
The Expected Duel.
WASHINGTON, April l2.-The most reliable report
in reference to the difficulty between Messrs Pryor
and Potter is that Mr. Potter promptly accented
Mr. Pryor's message; that duel will be fought,
that Mr. Potter has selected rifles the distance not
yet being agreed upon: and that Mr. Lauder. of
wagon road reputation. is Mr.. Potter's friend Mr.
Hindman is Mr.. Pryors friend. Mr.. Pryor and
Mr.. Potter were absent from their homes last night
and are not in the House to-day.
[sECoND DEsPATCH1
WASHINGTON, April u, P. M.-There are a va
riety of reports the street this evening in refer
ence to duel having taken place between Messrs
Pryor and Potter. 1t is stated that the distance
was fixed at $50 feet, but to this the description
OF weapon (probaby the latter the friends of Mr..
Pryor objected. Rumor says that thereupon Mr..
Potter offered the choice of shotted muskets or
bowie knives and that here the matter rests for the
present. The reports, however, are so numerous
and contradictory that nothing can be stated with
tense interest throughout the city, and some of the
rumors are so eXtravagant in their de tails as to
warrant the suspicion of having been invented to
satisfy IN part, at least, an excessive appetite for
the latest intelligence. 1t is generally conceded,
however, that there has not been as yet hostile
meeting. Mr.. Hindman has left for home His
friendly offices for Mr.. Pryor were confined merely
to the initiatory proceedings.
