two or three feet as We have seen them on

waters began to abate, and by last evening
had fallen two feet. We hear of no serious
damage done. The ice having gone out with
the rise two weeks ago, that element was

corn growing district in the West, where the
staple can be oh aimed at the first and lowest
cost. But the greatest is, that through the
ingenuity ofMr. McGINSIs, the superintendent

provements have been made in the works as to
save very large proportion of the manual

Gold, which had vibrated between LIS and
$50 for week, was suddenly panic-strcker
on Thursday, and tumble6 to l66. The eff
fe:t on the general market is thus noted in
Chicago by the Tribune, and the description
will answer as well for n. York, Boston. &c.
The scene in the general markets Yesterday
has no parallel in the commercial history OF
our city. Gold fell per cent.-opeuing at
1854 and falling to I66. This created gen
eral panic among spectators and holders OF
produce and other fuctuating property, and
We have to record very material fall in pri
ce,. Wheat declined 54asc per bushel; oats
24a33c; Rye 4c; and prime Mess Pork 81
per barrel. No. spring wheat fell as low as
$l.ls, and there were no buyers of oats a,
over SOC per bn.hel.
The general impression is that grand
crash is coming, and that people will do wise
ly to take in sail, pay their debts, buy moth.
ing on credit, and husband their means.

Gen. SinEletOn.SharpO Operation.

Gen. Singleton, who has become somewhat
famous of late as one Of Mr. Linccln's peace
commissioners to Richmond, achieved a
piece Of strategy lately that must give him
extensive fame as diplomatist.
From statements of the Richmond papers
it appears that the Generals second visit to
Richmond under Old Abe's pass, had more
for its object "a nice little piece of barter and
trade than the arrest OF military hostili;iey.
The General telling the rebs how he came from
the very heart Of the great pork region OF Che
west, proposed trade Of bacon for tobacco.
Coming direct from Old Abe, the rebs gave
him their confidence, and shipped about 100
tons of tobacco TO Fredericksburg, where the
General agreed steamboats, should he ready

steamboats, were ION time but forgot to
bring the bacon, but in leiu thereof brought

MoEoE DARK IxTERrRETATIoS.-Pr ovost
Marshal General Fry has written a letter at
tempting to interpret the late amendment TO
the CONSUMPTION law authorising clubs to pu,

what he says, most clubs infer that when a
protective association has furrsihed its pro-
portion of recruits all its members are ex.
empt, and those enralled men who have not
Joined such association must stand the draft
alone. Now this is not so, and the law itself
IS palmer than the Interpretation. The law
says very distinctly, that the names of all the
members of such protective associations,
whether they have made up their proportion
Of the quota or not, must go into the wheel
with the other names, and if larger number
than their proportion is drawn Of TIE mem.

put in are exhausted. and the balance mus,
