FREsHET IN THE SCHUYLKML.-The fall
OF ram early yesterday morning had the effect Of
cleansing many OF our streets thoroughly and
removing the ice in the Schuylkill and Delaware
At o'clock yesterday morning the water in the
Schuylkill had risen to little over two feet
above the dam, and at 10 o'clock to four feet, at
which time the Ice began 10 move aud was
broken into small pieces as it passed over the
dam. By O'Clock in the afternoon the water
had risen to few inches over five feet, and
renamed stationary at that point. About this
time tie platform of one OF the large CRIBS sunk
below the dam, for the purpose of strengthening
it, was hted from its place and carried down the
river at rapid rate. 1t was subsequently
secured before being broken up. At Manayunk
some little damage was done by flooding the
basement stores OF the mills but as the owners
had taken the precaution early in the day to
remove all perishable articles, the loss will not
be very heavy. 1t was thought that about mid
night the water at the dam would increase in
volume, but no danger was apprehended. The
tide, both in the Delaware and Schuylkill, was
unusually high last evening. At Richmond, con-
siderable damage, we are told, was done to the
whaTves.

that now, when the smoke of battle ha:
cleared away, and time has been given fol
reflection, this decision has been a for
tunate one for the whole country. they
receive like benefits from it with these
who opposed them in the field and in
council"
Why, Mr.. President, the common sense
OF that last utterance is worth more as tes
timony than that Of thousand scribblers
who merely look at detached points OF this
great field. They have resolved to accept
the decision as final; and, what we ought
al! to be glad to know, they have found
that it is for their benefit. They have
found, too, after the smoke has cleared
away, that they are really in better con-
dition than they were before, that they
have BEEN relieved from the incubus which
oppressed them for SO long q time. and
they are ready now to take their places in
the Union, and alongside Of the Northern
States who have made liberty their great
principle rather than slavery Why
should they not? Ii any man can give a
reason why they should desire to keep up
this strife longer, with their devastated
fields, with Their treasures empty. with
their society disorsanized, should ike 70
hear it.
[ therefore hope, Mr. President, that
we may meet them in different spirit
that We may show 10 them that We made
this war, not to make them eternal enemies
OF ours, not to mutilate them, but to rescue
them; that we made this war to 60 and get
them out Of the clutches of the bad men
who had mislcd them into the gloomy
realm Of secession and disunion; and
that we intend, after the great military
victory which we have achieved, to achieve
another By magnanimity and clemency in
our conduct toward the n; that we will
win them back to be as they were before,
our friends and our brothers, Of the same
race and of the same lineage. hope too
that this angry, irritating, and czacting
mode Of treating this subject, which is
calculated to make us any thing else than
friends, will be discarded hereafter, and
that VIC shall coolly and calmly, and in the
spirit Of the nation, because that is the
spirit of the nation examine this question.
and do with it that which will be calcula-
ted to restore the old harmony and peace,
and the old Union again.
