III o'clock, for the officers OF the road very
properly declined to run their trains over
track they could not see. At two O'CLOCK
three trains had arrived from the South, ana
were all halted at the Bell road, and thence
the passengers went to Philadelphia by way
of the Darby street cars. Quite lively
trade was done by tho residents owning
vehicles In transporting passengers from tue
railroad to the street cars about mile dis
tant.
After the trains were clear, the cars were
cent back to Wilmington, but the locomo-
tives had to remain. 1t Is not supposed that
the railway track has been injured. but as
soon us the food subsidies the train will be
run as usual Meanwhile the passengers
coming south yesterday afternoon and night
werc sent to Wilmington by the steamers
FELTON, and Ariel, and those going to Phila-
delphia from the south were transferred at
Wilmington to the same boats.
UP THE sUHuYLKiLL.
The food was fearful, and the damage
done Is almost beyond computation. At
Manayunk, the flood was very destructive,
and weeks will elapse before the damage to
mills, canal and roads can be repaired.
| About nine o'clock the lower part Of the
town was completely inundated, the water
| reaching to the second stories of the dwell
ings. The inmates who remained in the
houses until this tire were removed in
boats. All the mills, from the lower end OF
| the town, to the pulp works ut the extreme
upper end of Manayunk, were flooded, and
the goods and machinery not removed much
damaged but the greatest loss will be in the
stoppage Of the mills, most OF them having
been running only the past week, the former
stoppage having been caused by the long
drought
| About noon the water was at its height,
and from the bridge at the upper end of the
town TO Flat Rock the river extended itseli
until it was one unbroken sheet of water
from the Norristown Railroad on one side Ia
the Reading Railroad ON the other, com
ple,ely covering the island on which stood
the Pup Works. Nxon's Paper Mill, Pres
ton Cotton MIL, WlnpeDny's and other mills
to the depth of from four to eight feet o.
water.
TIE FLOOD ELSEWHERE.
The storm prevailed over large extent o
country, and dispatches from Washington
Baltimore and New York State gives &c
counts of the devastation. In Maryland
the Northern Central, Baltimore and Ohi,
and Elk Ridge railroads suffered. In New
York, the Hudson River, Harlem and Fri,
railroads were damaged. The freshet OF
the upper Delaware was severe. The dam
age ia Baltimore, though considerable, l
not n serious as was expected. -Four per
sons were drowned up the Scuylkill, and on
Mt Washington, ard u man was crushed I,

candidate of the so-clled ''refor wing" for
the Democratic nomination for Sheriff.
Judge Gilmore pounced upon him, fined him
$50 for contempt and in dcfinlt of payment
sent him to Jail. There was doubtless a spice
ofpersonal feeling in this prompt and severe
action and Clarke will probably be consid-
cred martyr IN small way.

CANADIAN ANNEXATION promises to be-
come practical question. A large meeting
in favor of Independence was held in Wa
terloo on Saturday evening last and addressed
by prominent Canadian politicians. INDIE
pendence is but the first step to annexation,
and both are really so desirable from a true
Canadian standpoint that the commence
ment of the agitation is sure to end some
time in the practically unanimous demand of
the people of the Dominion for first one and
then the other. We see no reason for eager
ness on the part of the United States for such
a consumation, and still less reason for OPP

TnE Ex-REBEL GENERAL N. B. Forrest
has written sharp letter, denouncing fire
eating Southern editor who spoke Of his
assocating with persons with whom he
does not agree politically as disgraceful and
disgusting. He says he is engaged in build
ing railroad which will be Of vast advan-
tage 10 Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee,
and that in his opinion the accomplishment
Of this enterprise is an object worthy the
ambition Of any man, and TO one who loves
his country and humbly seeks 10 serve the
interests Of his fellow-citizans, is far above
the considerations of mere partisan politics.
