ST.. LOUIS, Oct. Sl.-Frank Blair returned yester-
day from an eleetioneering tour through Pennsyl-
yania and Illinois, and addressed large crowd at
Soulard market last evening" referring to the late
presence Of Douglas here in his reply to the ques-
tons in the Bulletin in relation to the alleged COM
plicity of Blair with Green's seat in the Senate &C.
Douglas said in his late speech here that the Repub
hcans make false charges and call the Breckenridge
men to swear to IT, that these men go around and
tail what they pretend to have been private CONVEX
Stations and furnishing Breckenridge with Republican
papers, saying that if Il will release them of the
obligations and honor perhaps tn y will speak outr
Blair said that if Douglas intended to imply in the
above language that 81 ever sought private inter-
view with him upon political subjects and furnished
Breckenridge papers with the charges against him.
based upon that conversation and sought to have
myself called witness to prove the charge, that
he is guilty of gross and wanton faisehood, and |
can produce most conclusive evidence to prove it
upon him. i never furnished Breckenridge papers
nor any one else charges against Douglas based upon
what he said; nor did communicate with any one
upon the subject except in accordance with hisown
views and suggestions, and to forward his wishes.
And am not then responsible, from the fact that
the substance of the letter that Col b. Graft Brown
bruited and made public when asked subsequently,
and after had been assailed by Douglas partisans
declined to say anything about the latter, and
should not now say what have, except they and the
Presidential monomaniac have no license to vIiiify
and SANDER those who encouraged him IN the only
God act in his life"
The Douglas and Breckenridge procession came
into collision last night just the latter were dis
persing from their club room. Accounts published
charge that the Douglas men were the aggressors,
though the Breckenridge men were victorious. The
police alarm was given, the fire department. called
out, and considerable excitement prevailed, but no
serious damage was done.
special dispatch to the Republican from Boon
vile states that Senator Green in his speech there
declared that but for Douglas, Kansas
would haze been slave State; that Congressional
protection slavery in the Territories is the only
doctrine that preserve the government; but that

GREAT FKEsuET N NIRGINIA- SERIOUS DAMAGE TO
THE RAmaoAD-Tas MAILS SroPPED.-We understand
that great reshet occurred in Virginia about the
first Of this week. which did an immense amount of
damage to the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad and
TO all kinds of property. We are informed that
eighteen of the nineteen bridges across Peat and
Read creeks between Wytheville and Dublin Station,
two miles this side Of Newbern, have been washed
away, making gap of twenty-eigAt miles The
road has been built seven years and no freshet has
occurred in that region to injure any of these
bridges. There has been such flood since 1914.
The destruction of property along the line of the
road hts been immense. One man is said to have
lost thirty thousand bushels of corn.
As aconsequence of the great damage to the rail-
road, the mails have been stopped and there
four due. We understand it will be fully two weeks
before the damage the road can be repaired as
to admit Of trains running through. In the mean
time the company will have the mails and passen-
gers transported in coaches between Wythevie and
DubliI between which points there is an excellent
turnpike road.
We understand Gen. ANDERSON will send the North
ern and Eastern mail by way of Louisville this
morning and until thorough communication is es-
tablished.

ROCHESTER, Oct. 10th, 1860
CHAs. HAPP, Eso-Dedr SIR: You are an entire
stranger TO me, and direct me to no one from whom
l can learn your real character and responsibility.
This, if other difficulty existed, would seriously
embarrass me in making a favorable answer to your
proposition. You should have at least given me
one respectable reference The fact that you have
not done so, with other circumstances connected
with your letter, makes it quite doubtful whether
could honorably accede to your proposition. You
date from Auburn, and tell me to direct to you at
Auburn but do not name the street Pardon me
for regarding this a suspicious circumstance. You
may be an inmate of the State Prison, or on your
way thele-a fact which you see would interfere
with the fulfllment OF your part OF the proposed
bargain, even if | could fulfill the part you assign
me You want SIS 600 or $4,000. This is a com
mon want. and you not to blame for using all
honorable means to obtain it. Buv candOr requires
me TO state, that if you were in every respect a
suitable person to be bought, for the purpose you
name, have not the amount to buy you. have
no objection to your complexion, but there are GER
tain little faults of grammar and spelling well as
other little points, in your letter, which compel me
to regard you as person, by education, manners
and morals, as wholly unfit to associate with my
daughter in any capacity whatever. lou evidently
think your white skin of great value. l don't dis
puIe it, it is probably the best thing about you Yet
not even that valuable quality can commend you
sufficiently to induce even SO black a negro as my
self TO accept you as his sOn-inlaw.
