wTHE wArER.-Fhe City Council on
Monday evening made an appropriation of
two hundred dollars to have the basin of the
wster works cleaned out, and the work
will be performed next week. There are
various opinions as to the cause of the i'm
purity ofthe supply of water which the
citizens are now receiving. We have
heard it stated that the water is no better
in the river, ard that its bad taste is caus-
ed by the immense quanty of oil which was
recently lost above. Others who have
tried the water directly from the river
state that it is much better than that which
passes through the basin. There have been
more freshets this year than for many
years previous. aud it is not unlikely that
q greater quantity of muddy water than
usual has been thrown into the BASIN
This is doubtless the cause of the impure
water. and when the basin is cleaned out
next week the evil will be found To have
been remedied.

n~ A vALIAND1GHAMER.-Y Yesterday
fellow, certainly under the influence of
liquor, yelled several times for YalIandig-
ham, on Main Street. A man, apparently
an invalid, happened to be passing at the
time, and no sooner heard the name of the
famous Ohio traitor than he turned upon
the fellow who uttered it, with great indig-
nation, and would have administered a
severe chastisement, had he not beea as
sured that the vallandighamer was drunk
en- simplstou, utterly unworthy of notice.
The other remarked that he had been two
years In the army, and no mau should cheer
for traitor in his presence, as long as he
had strength to strike blow.

rebel sympathizers living along the upper
portion of Monongalia, and the lower pOr
ton of Marion county, have organized
band of pirates for the purpose of
stealing horses aud escaping within the
rebel lines. They had succeeded in steal
ing quite number of horses, and a num-

Excitement in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, June 29. The excitement
to-day was intense, aud until q late hour
tonight the streets were crowded with an
excited populace, eagerly enquiring for
news and eRIistiBg 10 the defense of the
city aud state. At the Navy Yard and
most of the workshops of the cTIy business
WAS either entirely suspended or closed At
an early hour, to allow the men to drill.
Most Of the stores on Market and Chestnut
street were closed early, for the same pur-
pose. The city, no doubt, will soon be
placed in state of defense.

EaS-STEALIEG WHIsKY.-On Monday
evening. during the excitement occasioned
by the sufEocatiou ofThomas Lambert, who
was digging pit, on the north side of
Sprigg House alley. the proprietor of
drinking saloon on Water street left his,
house to take care of itself. During his
absence, William woodcock, an eccentric
bird, to whom we have frequently alluded,
stepped in and helped himself to couple
of bottles of liquor, and was, making off
with them in zigzag course, when he was
pursued, overtaken and captured by the
proprietor aforesaid. William was taken
before Alderman Duty and sent 70 Jail.
The last time we had occasion to speak
of Mr.. Woodcock, we received communi-
cation from respectable gentleman in
Bridgeport, from which the following is an
extract. The writer requested US. in case
we should have another occasion to allude
to the party, to publish the communica-
ton at the same time:
Now, sirs, would not complain if that
"uuclean bird" (meaning MIR. Woodcock)
were not physically and mentally rendered
incapable of controlling himself, and bad
not his friends and neighbUrs used every
means 10 prevent such painful results
Knowing him to be utterly unable, by red
son of affection, TO refrain from drinking,
and that there are creatures who do sell
bin liquor, although they have been eau
toned not to do so, am forced to protest
against such articles appearing in your
paper, unless the licensed pests are ma de to
appear as conspicuously and as "uncleau"
as the subject of these remarks.

Nantes has lis maritime mysleries.--
There are now building 10 our yards two
steamers, the appearance Of which eI-
cites the more curiosity as their owners
and future destination are completely
unknown. The smallest gig cannot be
built 10 secret for regatlss in yards which
are accessible to every eye, and a forti0r'
vessel Of a large dimension cannot escape
notice The practiced eye Of our nauti-
cal men readily perceVes that those OF
which we speak are not intended for or.
binary navigation. Every one asks for
what they are intended and as no one
can answer the question positively, the
field remains open to conjecture. The
6neness of their lines is extreme ; they
are almost fat, narrow, and with bows
as sharp as the blade Of razor. Their
length is ESQ feet they will each have
engines of 400 horse power, and are
pierced for 22 guns. Their guaranteed
speed will not be less than IA knots an
hour. The plan was furnished to the
builder, who had only to follow it. The
hullis in wood, but there is quantity
of iron used which will give them great
strength. What exctes considerable Gu
riosity is the fact that they are to be de-
liyered to their owners at sea twenty
leagues off Belle Ele. There are two
Similar vessels building in the yard oil

given by house in this place for one
abroad, but no one knows for whom, and
the builders are no wiser. These vessel.
cannot be intended for carrying freight,
as The fneness OF their build makes them
lose one-third Of their tonnage. Ac.
cording to some persons, they belong
to a company which intend them for
the China packet service while Others
think that the preparations for armament
is not consistent even with the convey
snce Of dispatches, and therefore con
slider them built for war purposes. The
most generally credited version is that
they may. when ahoat, take their place
among the Confederate fleet, of which
the Sumter WAS the pioneer. For our
part, We give no opinion on the subject

In army circles here, a loss OF 4OO

occurred. As nearly all the returns OF
correspondents were made from the 28th

injury by the frost was no. given by them,

to report it. These last accounts present
general average injury Of about one
third, or 80 per cent but. for reasons
given at some length in the body of thi,
report it is believed that this is great
over estimate. Although so general a
frost is ordinarily very destructive,
yet there is great difference between
irosis occa,ioned by the fall Of cold rains
when the ground has been cooled, and
those produced by storm bringing the
cold If the arctic regions over heated
SOIL and into a warm atmosphere. But,
to better ascertain th. extent of the in.
jury, inquiries have been made in the

dl,ion Of all the fall crops.
