The ThaW.

The thaw OF last week seems to have been
general throughout the northern states. We
notice account, of the destruction Of brii ges
and s,oPpaEe Of railroad ira ms in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, &c.
Considering the suidssness and unusual
height Of the freshet, however, there VAS
much less destruction OF property along the
Illinois river than vas Appreciated. The
damage at Joliet was trihing. At Morris,
the trestle work at the end of ths bridge was
carried eff. One man, who had just driven
upon the trestls work with team, suddenly
found his communication with the shere cut
Off but was relieved from ais unpleasant
predicament by the workmeu erecting a tenn.
porary span that enabled him to ge, to shore.
The Seneca and Marseilies bridges are M
injured The middle span of the road bridge
at La Sale was carried oil, an accident that
happens about every spring. The greatest
sufferer we hear of was Wilmington The
Illincis Central Railroad Bridg, at that
place was carried of, and immense damage
done all over town BY the hooling Of cellars,
DC. The damage at Wilmington Is es,ima>
ted at 100000.

senator Yates IN "a New Role.

The Congressional Temperance Society"
is new institution, but one which, since the
advent of the reign of PuYitansm at Wash,
ington. has become a necessity. Such enor-
nous taxes had to be laid Oh all kinds of
liquors 10 meet the extravagant expenditures
Of those enlisted in interests of " God aud
humanity" that pure liquors, sufficient to
supply the Washington demand, are now out
of the question, and the vilainious forty
rcd" and stryehnine" article that supply
the place were proving more ruinous to Puri-
tan craftsmanship than all the devices of
scheming eopperheads and sanguinary rebels
ard traitors.
So tho Congressional Temperance Socie>
ty' had to be organized, and among the
first whom this blessed institution recues 'as
brand from the burning" is our own ON
sentative Price of Iowa, on seeing him in
such position, declares "he had never wits
messed seems like it in all his life" Sen
ator Yates, at meeting of the society Oh
Sunday evening" on being lhtToduceu IN
plimentary terms made speech, of
which the telegraph Civ us the following
report:
Mr.. Yates said he had signed the pledge
for good, and had made his covenant With
God some months before. When he signed
the pledge he raised him selfto his full height,
for he was free, although he had considered
hmsefa moderate drinker II was pubilsh>
ed throughout the land that he was drunk>
ard. There was some truth asd error in this.
He had the failing when drunk of letting
eve, ybody know it. The great commonwealth
OF Illinois had, for % wears. honored him IN
all public positions, and he had nov promised
that the state, end all who loved him, Kate
and the children, that he would never rnors
touch, taste. or handle the mclean thing =
He intended to fight it cut on that line till
the last hour Of his existence. In conclusion,
he read cheering and joyous letter from his
wife, IN response TO the good news that he
had signed the pledge, which moved many
in the audience to tears Several others
addressed the meeting, and in reponss 10
call, from the audience the pledge was read,
with the signers, embr5ei eng number Of
senators and representatives.

Warehouse BILL.

The Eastman Warehouse bill, which pass
ed the legislature last week and has been
approved by the Governor, if strictly adhered
to and enforced, will produce many benef>
cal changes IN the warehousng business az
hitherto pursued at Chicago.
The bill divides warehousemen into two
classes-public and private. Private ware-
houses are not allowed to mix any grain, but
must keep the grain of each owner separate.
Public warehousemen are permitted to put
tie same bin, but after receiving grain as Of
a certain grade, are not allowed, by cleaning
drying, or otherwise, to raise It's grade and
mix it with higher grades. Grain may be
TINS cleaned or dried for the owner, but must
remain as of the same grade at which it was
received.
All receipts for sra:: not actually owned
by the giver at the date of, the receipt, are
rlgidly prohibited and all contracts for
future delivery of grain are declared gam>
bling and void.
The bill breaks up the whole railroad and
warehouse monopoly, by which grain arriv-
ing on certain roads or canal could only be
delivered to certain warehouses; but requires
all grain to be delivered 10 the warehouses
to which it is consigned to be inspected on
such receipt; and to be stored at fixed prices,
q schedule OF which shall be prepared and
published at the beginning OF each year

Gov. Orr on she situation.

At the anniversary banquet at tie Cham
Der OF Commerce, in Charleston. Feb. lfth,
Gov. Orr made speech, in which he alluded
to his recent visit to Washington and the
formation of the recently published scheme
Of reconstruction, agreed on BY the President
and southern Goversors. Gov. Orr is re-
ported by telegraph saying:
He was received kindly and treated eour-
teously and every disposition manifested to
have perfeG. and complete settlement, but
some of those gentlemen when next they
met in the Halls Of Congress, would
indulge in speeches of the most violent char
acter Ny own judgment, said Gov. O, Is if
the Legislatu ire adopted the programme with
any degree of unanimity; if Arkansas
adopt this q r andment. and ifOther Southern
States adopt or manifest a disposition TO
adopt, it will produce the best results upon
considerable portion Of the Radical party and
save tie South from many OF the proposed
radical measures.
