Hon. ALFRED ELY, of Rochester, returned to

A DESTRUCTIvE SHOWER The Owcgo Ga,

north east part Of the county was visited by
one of the most severe and destructive show
ers OF rain aud hail experienced for many
years. The weather had been hot and dry

had become sultry and depressing II com

Several bridges between this Village and
SpecdsvIle were carried away rs well as many
on the Newark road In this locality, thOugh
it rained right smart, it was by no means
destructive. Some idea of the vast amount
of water which must have fallen can be formed
from the fact, that in one hour's time Owego
Creek at this point, raised a trae over two

CoNGREssIoNAL.-Severa important meas
ures were passed through the Senate on Fri
day, with a unanimity which shows the de-
termned spirit by which our legislators are
animated. Among the bills passed was one
providing for the building of an iron bridge
over the Potomac, one ordering a Board of
Commissioners to examine the compensations
of all officers of the Government, one to pun
ish fraud in Government contracts, one to de-
fine and punish conspiracy, and one to provide
for the suppression of rebellion; besides
joint resolution declaring that the supremacy
and integrity of the Union must be maintain,
ed. Mr.. Kennedy presented memorial from
the Mayor and citizens of Baltimore, COM
planning of the Government interference with
the police there The resolution for the main,
tenance of the supremacy of the Union was
passed with only one dissenting voice--that
of Mr.. Breckinridge. The bill to provide rev.
enue was discussed, but was finally disposed of
when the Senate went into Executive Session.
In the House, after a discussion of some
length in reference to the day of final adjourn
ment, which led to no definite conclusion, the
Direct Tax bill was taken up in Committee of
the Whole Various amendments we're pro-
posed and discussed, but the Committee final
ly rose without voting, and the House soon af.
terward adjourned.

JUST RETRIBUTIoN There was an instance
of just retribution for treason at Rich Noun
tain. The Hon. John Hughes of Beverly, a
member of the Virginia Secession Convention
at Richmond, heard by some means that our
troops were endeavoring to turn the flank of
the Rebels. He mounted horse aud sped
up the hill rapidly, to carry the information to
Col Pegram. When near the summit he was
hailed by pickets. Supposing they were Fed
eral pickcts, he cried ont, Hold, l am a
Northern man." The next instant he fell in,
to the road corpse, riddled by thirty balls
He had lied, and his own friends, the Rebels,
whom he was striving to save, believing they
were killing an enemy, put an end to his ca
reer.

FALL OF THE INSIDE OF CHURcH-The
Presbyterian Church at Ninevea, in this county,
which was built about ten years ago at cost
of about 81 500 and was considered perfectly
sound and secure, met with a very singular
misbap last Monday night. All the timbers,
braces, &c, below the perne plates, with the
whole lath and plasterng, fell with a itremen-
dous crash, covering the pulpit and pews with
the wreck. This is singular occurrence, (as
builders will understand) and one not "noted
in the books" On examination of the timbers
they were all found sound. The damage to the
church is estimated at least S500.-Bin Rep.

SERvIcE.-Several officers of distinction, who
have served in Continetal armies, have been

have but lately arrived here. Among these
are Baron Radowitz, late Lieutenant Of the
Royal Guard Of Prussia, and Baron Harden

R5g- Major General Mcclellan reached
Washington on Friday week, and immediate
ly proceeded to enter upon vigorous prose
cuton Of the duties of his great command
which includes the army on both sides of the
Potomac. The Washington Chroniole says
the arrival of Major General G. B. McClel-
Ian, as commander of the department of the
Potomac, will go far to re-assure our soldiers
and give to the people of the metropolis a
feeling of confidence and security. The Gen.
eral is a modest, brave and unpretending man.
He has made himself great name in West
ern Virginia, and in the conduct of his cam
paign has exhibited the finest qualities of the
soldier and tactcian. He is no politician, and
is free from the Selfshness of the partisan or
the ambition of the partisan leader

D6E A flag of truce, sent from Washing
ton on Thursday by the hands of Messrs.
GornaD, AppIegate, and Sterling, for the
purpose Of obtaining the body of Col. Cam
eron, returned without being successful. The
objection made to the message it covered was
that it was addressed to whom it may
concern" instead of a Rebel officer. A flag
from the Rebels has reached Washington,
covering a message to the effect that Col.
Cameron's body had been buried, and would
be at the order ofhis friends when they should
go for it, subjected to certain conditions, which
conditions are not stated

HAIRBREADTH ESCAPE.-One Of the members
Of Capt. Letts Penn Van Company, has
returned home on furlough, granted by Gen
Scott. He was wounded at the battle before
Manassas, and his escape from the rebels was
miraculous He was wounded in the shou
der and thigh. and his clothing was complete
ly riddled hy balls When his company com.
menced their retreat, he was unable to keep
up with them. and fell exhausted upon the
field. After lying alone with the dead and
dying for some time, he discovered a troop Of
Rebel horSeman approaching, when his last
hope seemed gone---they were coming directly
towards him, bayonettiug the wounded, wher-
ever they exhibited any signs of consciousness
He N anaged to drag himself a few PAGES,
aud get hold of loaded gun resolved that if
discovered he would shoot one of them at
least. When within about forty rods of him
the troopers halted, and commenced search
ing the clothing of the dead. for plnnder.-
They gradually separated until but one horse
man remained in sight, and the poor fellows
heart thtobbed with renewed hope The reb-
ell made directly toward him. and when almost
upon him the " Union" man suddenly recov-
cred from feign death, and shot the trooper
dead Not rebel was now in sight, and hope
inspired the brave fellow with strength to reach
the horse, which he mounted, after relieving
the dead trooper of two valuable watches aud
othor plnnder which he had stolen from the
dead soldiers. He made his way directly to
his camp, where his wounds were attended to:
and subsequently received furIough and
came home to Penn Yam 20 recruit" These
particulars we obtained from reliable citizen
of MlpOrt who heard the story from the
wounded man, and was shown tie watches,
etc. He had forgotten his name We shall
doubtless see it in the Penn Ya1 papers,

THE FAMILIES OF VoLgNTEERS.-It is sug-
gested in New York paper, and the sugges-
ton is worthy of consideration, that married
men in the army he required to aIlot two-thirds
of their pay for the benefit of their wives and
children Such rule exists in the navy and
is found to work admirably. IF it were adopt
ed in the army much of the dissipation now
attendant upon camp life would be done away
with, while good share of the deStitution at
home, of which we hear SO much weuh be
removed.
