The RIvER.-The river had fallen five
feet yesterday morning, and continued
falling all day. This morning, the late
swelling and roaring Jeems is quite SUBJ
dued, and allows people who do business
on the water to resume their pursuits.
The river did not rise as high as it has
risen by good deal but it has remained
in swollen and angry condition unusually
long. The rains continued with wonderful
steadiness for many days, but they did not
at any time fall so copiously as they do
sometimes late in spring or during summer
and fall. The greatest and most sudden
freshes in the river ensue from those rains
which pour down as it were from the wide
open windows of the sky, deluging the
earth in a few minutes, and causing the
streams to rise and overflow their banks
with wonderful rapidity. Under the infiu-
ence of such rain James river has risen
here so suddenly that people have been
who escaped with difficulty, and some have
been drowned. In one memorable instance,
after long drought which had dried the
river so completely that the rocks of the
falls were all exposed, and persons could
cross from shore to shore upon them with
out wetting foot, there swept down such a
sudden flood that many were caught in the
river, very much to their peril and though
we are not sure of the fact, we had better
say, for the interest of this story, that some
were drowned! We think this event was
very near about, if it was not during, that
year of wonderful events, eighteen hundred
and Sirteen!
On Saturday we stood on the bridge con-
templating the "noble James," in his tur-
bulent and angry mood, giving US touch of
his power. He was grand and irresistible.
A man who could not admire him at such
a time muss have poor taste and very
dull appreciation Of nature. That grand
river came pouring and roaring, and jump
ing and humping, and bounding and
sounding, and foaming and roaming, and
leaping and sweeping, and dancing and
prancing, and snorting, cavorting, and
soaking (he was very wet y, and smoking,
and, in short, in all the moods and lenses
of a river headstrong beyond all bounds,
threatening and laundering as it was fall
ing down the falls, not like the waters at
Lodore, but with volume enough to make
a thousand streams equal to that little
"cuss Z" of rivulet which falls down at
Lodore, and which has been rendered
famous by Southey!
P.S. To-day, (Sunday,) while we write,
the clouds are watery, and occasional fine
rain is falling-sometimes varied with
a larger and freer dropping of the drizzly
gifts from those weeping clouds. Whether
this limited discount from large watery
capital overhead will swell the river or no
we are sure of one thing, that there is not
much chance for evaporation by sun and
wind in the present condition Of the wea.

The Treatr wlth RussIa.

The treaty made With Russia has
been 10 process Of negotiation sorre
time. On Monday Of last week the
Russian Minister called on Mr.. Sow.
arl saying the Emperor had direct
cd him not TO eign tho treaty. The
price offered Russia had boen seven
millions. Mr.. Seward Immediately
offered quarter Of million more,
and offered to pay the whole in gold
the moment the treaty was cOnluded.
Monday evening the Russian Minis.
ter telcgraphed the new offer 10 the
Emperor, and Friday evening re-
coived an answer accepting. Mr.,
Seward snd tho Minister went at
once to the State Department, work.
ed till near morning, finished the
treaty aud took it to the President st
the Capitol At nine o'clock Satur.
day the Presidentread aud signed il
and sent IL into the Senate al ten.
There has been much difficulty in
getting the title clear Of all claims Of
other parties aud companies, but the
treaty gives such tito. One clause
Of the treaty is significant, declaring
one purpose Of IL to be to strengthen,
if It be possible to strengthen, the
good understanding between Russia
aud tho United States.
The boundry Of the ceded territory
begins on tho coast at fifty four
degrees forty minutes, runs inland

OF. hVOia, Mofch 81.
The Linden Hotel, the largest
building ofits kind on this continent
ifnot 10 the world, was totally de-
strcved by Gre last night
There is considerable mystery
about the origin Of tho fre, but the
most reliable account says IL broke
ont In one Of the west front rooms on
tho hflh story, about half past 8
o'clock.
The alarm was not sounded until
afer 9 O'Clock. AZ that time the

hose. Il gradually ascendcd till It
broke through the sixth and seventh
stories, and reached the roof near The
northwest corner Of the building.
From this point the fire rapidly ex
tended underneath the roof acro7s
the entiro width OF the hotel to the
cast Of sixth street front, aud then
moved rapidly downward until the
whole structure was envcloped in
flames.
Up 10 tho time tho 6ro spread

the flamcs reached tho elevators and
the inner courts, up and through
which strong currents Of air rushed,
they received a new and powerful i'm
petus, and hopo Of staying the do
'vouriug element was lost.
Tho efforts Of the Gromcn wero not
relaxed, however, and full force of the
Fire Department was put forth until
3 o'clock this morning. at which time
all tho inner wood work had been
consumed, and a considerable portion
Of tho walls had fallen. What had
been the most stately, imposing aud
handsome hotel In the country, was
mase Of crumbling, blnckened ruins.
The building was owned by tho
estate Of Henry Ames & Co., Edgar
Amos being the Representative Of the
property.
1ts original cost was a little over
5000, 600, but IL was bought By Ames
& Co. ia December, 1863, two months
aitor IL opened, for s3l3.000.
Insurance on tho hotel amounts 10 |

The lessces were Hatch, Woever,
Felt & CO., whose loss on furniture !
aud storos ia about 100000. lnsur.
cd for 100000. But little Of tho
furniture was saved.
There were about four hundred
guests in tho hotel, largo number
of whom consisted Of families board
ing in the house. The latter lost
most Of their porsonal effects, owing
20 the confusion and excitement pre-
vailing, and TO belief that the house
would not be destroyed, until il was
too late to romoye them. The loss
fro'1 this source will probably reach
100000.
The goods in the stores underneath |

The total loss of this disaster can
scarcely be less than 81 600, 900.
