Y. Evening Post thinks when the rebellion
is used up. the rebels will fnd safe re-
treat iu New Jersey. 1t was only the
other day the Legislature Of that Safe

abolshng slavery, but the acme of its
meaning was reached day or two after
wards, when bill was before the Assembly
10 incorporate en- association in SUISSE X
county, for raising monument to those
natives Of the country who had fallen in
the military service in The supp ession Of
the present unholy rebellion. Says the
Post
AS soon as the preamble was read,
Mr.. Ihff jumped up and moved that tLe
word unholy be stricken out, and his Demo
cratic friends carried the amendment. Ii
was then moved suceessivey by loyal mem
bers to insert wicked aud causelcss, Cause
less alone, and fnully 50 mild lie 10 as un
justiiable but the same III jori'y, by u solid
vote, refused TO condemn The rebellion iB
even that mix ahdwaler way. A. length
one of their oN Ia number moved 10 insert
the VOID righteous, which unqutsionably
exp essed Their real feelings. but not
enough Of them were sufheiently bold to
declare them openly, aud SO, win tue aid
OF the Union votes. righteous was also re-
jccted. Yet they had deliberately declar'
ed that the rebellion was Dei her HnhoIy
nor wicked, nor causeless, nor unjustiiiable,
and only the fear of political consequences
prevented them from declaring that it was
righteous.

The FREsHErs The sudden melting of
the large quantities Of snow east Of us, has
produced, within the past few days, ia the
states of New York and Pennsylvania,
frsshets of an unprecedented character, ,eaus
ing such distraction of property as we
seldom bave occasion to record. Ia the
oil regions of Pa. the destruction of oil
alone is estimated at millions of dollars,
while much damage was also done to the
railroads and other property. In western
New York, more especially at Rochester,
which seems to have been extensively sab
merged, the losses were very great. On
Thursday evening the 18th. spprehensons
began to be felt.
Friday the Genesee Valley Depot and
the cellars on Front Street were flooded,
and the water brokeNinto Exchange and
Buffalo streets. Trains were suspended Oh
the railroads, and by four p M. the bust
ness men on State aud Buffalo streets be
gan 10 remove their property, aud by dark
. panic seized the people, but it was too
late tor many to save their goods. Many
people on the East side of the river were
unable to reach their homes on the West
side, until Saturday evening, and families
were iS great dist, ess about absent friends.
The walsr on Friday night was near two
feet deep on Main St. bridge. and on
Saturday morning two street cars left on
the bridge foated of, one landing on the
sidewalk on Buffalo street, the other going
over the falls.
The losses in Rochester, public and pri
vate are immense. Ths damage to sewers
which the food ripped up. is estimated Al
half o million of dollars The Geuesst
Valley Canal Is nearly ruined. the banks
washed away everywhere. The damage
to the iosnda,ion Of buildings in Rochester
Is incalculable.
BY noon Saturday the river was not in
the least eeuhned to its banks, but rushed
through the city in every direction. Three
fourths Of the west side--at least two
square miles--was submerged. The wate
plunged over Main stree, bridge. complete
" hiding il from view. The water Was sil
feet deep in the Central Depot, and th-e
feet In the Arcade. The high ground
were covered with people. and some sough
look out flom the roof Of the Cour
House.
On Saturday at 8 p M. the reporte
visited the Office Of the Democrat in boai
going In at the front door and landing bal
way up stairs. There was no communcs
ton between The East and West sides, o.
the business houses in the central par
were flooded, and street car was sailin
aroupd In Main street. White flag
signals Of distress. were floating from man
houses on Front street, aud many Of n
people we're on the roofs aud food was g
TO them By large boat.
On Susday morning the food ssbside
leaving mud and desolalion in its track.
