The WATER FAMINE IN PHLApE1.
PnIA.-Not many weeks since the
telegraph brought US the news of q
great fire in the city of Philadelphia,
trough means of which one life was
lost and thousands of barrels of
whiskey consumed" When this ter.
rible piece Of intelligence had been
received, great CRY went up from
the Northern journals-not for tho
loss of the man, however, but for
something vastly moro important
the destruction of the whiskey. What
will become of tho unfortunate citizens
of that unfortunate city u? did thoy all
exolaim. The burning of 80 much Of
tho generous juice Of Bourbon and of
Robertson county would cause such
an advance in the price of what was
left, that the hardy sons and daughters
of the Quaker City would be depriv.
ed Of their natural nourishment, and
a whiskey famine was seriously pre-.
dicted.
Now. while the whiskey panic has
scarcely subsided, we have another
alarming report from tho same devot-
ed city. "Nover alone come the I'm
mortals," applies equally as truthful
ly to municipalities as it does to in
dividuals. The water supply of Phil
adelphia is announced as fearfully
low, and each succeeding day growing
smaller. What cruel combination
of misfortunes they have neither
whiskey to put in their water, nor
water to put in whiskey ! Chronicle

''la all cases which have been brought
up on sant,.war' debts, the juries
have fixed tho measure of their YER
dicts at one-half of the principal and
interest to the lst January 1861. And
the majority of these cases, by agrce.
ment of counsel, have been referred
to the Clerk, to assess the amount of
principal and interest in conformity
with this standard.
In cases OF Confederate debts, the
rule for scaling debts, which is fur
nished by Act 1869 has been applied,
except in cases of peculiar hardship,
where evidence has been gone into as

A very intelligent gentleman of
this city, just returned from tour
through the Northern and Western
cities, reports a steady and marked
change of public opinion rapidly
spreading in regard to the South and
its people. From the evidences seen,
he does not think It due to any sudden
awakening of inordinate fraternal
love, but rather to the large crops and
assurance which is impressing them
that hereafter the vast agricultural
resources Of the South will be the
handspring of American commerce.
Cancellation is now the favorite theme,
the reconstruction policy aud politics
is rather annoying than otherwise to
tho business community, who would
gladly see tho whole affair blotted out
and eoetlod up ut uny sacrifice. All
politicians, including the Administers
tion, who urc engaged in tanning the
flame of discord, are therefore rapidly
sinking in popularity, while the trim
mers, ever closely watching the politi-
cal compass, arc falling off from the
ultra Radical platform like leaves in
autumn. BY common consent at the
North this faction is embodied in
Boutwell,. Among the loudest in his
condemnation for intolerance, with a
heart over flowing with liberulity and
cancellations for rebcldom, we are now
to record our great ex .Governor-th
lloD. Michael Hahn. The day of il
bilee is surely coming when the preach
er of repentance to tho wicked dons
the sackcloth and ashes himself. If
there is joy over repenting sinner,
how much moro ought to rise over
repcntant saint upon whose tongue
anathemas now melt to anthems? Is
it possible that this champion Of
Boutwell,, whose paper only month
since assumed the war paint in his
defence, is wrong, aud the stiff necked
generation he could not bow to his
will were all tho time right' Oh,
blessed day, when the lamb and the
lion are to lie down together, both
gorged with fcasting on dead Bout
we'll and murdered RAdica!ism.-N.

DgsCovERY OF THE ORIGINAL Docu-

DIsCovERY OF THE ORIGINAL Docu-
MESTs FOR THE Book or GENEsIs.--
"Ihis is startling news" says Mr..
Charles Wexford, (in his last lettor
from London to the Book Buyer of
this oity,) in giving an account of the
remarkable announcement just made
by Sir Henry Rawlinson before the
Royal Asiatic Society. 1t is not
merely that this eminent Oriental
scholar claims to have discovered the
original record from which the Book
OF Genesis was composed, but he
illustrates his position by details of
the most striking kind. He himself
says
s'The progress now reached in the
collection and arrangement of the
Ninevah inscribed fragments made it
beyond doubt that they would be
able to derive the whole Of the histo-
ry given in the Book of Genesis from
the time of Abraham, from the origi.
nal documents; and it was not too
much to expect that almost the same
facts and descriptions would be found
in the B4bylonian documents as in the
Bible. He hoped very soon to have
ready paper on the Garden of Eden
Paradise) in which he would show
that was the natural name Of D4ba.
Ion. The rivers bore the very same
names, and the Babylonian documents
gave an exact geographical account Of
the Garden of Eden. The food and
the Tower of Babe would be found
to be the most amply illustrated in
the Babylonian documents" Ncau

Very little change has occurred in the general
character Of the market for domestic fabrics
during the past week. The tendency of prices,
however, a is usually the case at the end of an
active season, is rather in favor OF the purchas-
er. The aggregate business in unble ached shirt
ings and sheetings for the past week las been
small. but prices have been evenly maintained
for standard makes, though a few descTi .,tiOns
of the les popular marks have undergone q re-
duction of half cent per yard. Bleached shirt
ings and sbeetings are without material change
New York Mills sell at II cents. aud Wamsuttas
a at % cents. The demand for stripes and ticks
has shown some Improvement; but we dD not
hear Of any large sales. aud prices not
firmly maintained as they have been. There is
said 10 he a rather better demand for deIins
and cottonnndes, pa rticulaTiy from the clothing
houses. which impaftS more frnness 60 prices.
The market IL abundantly supplied with goods
OF this class. Cambrics and silesias are without
any special change. Prices are steady. Pointing
cloths are reported i'm good demand, and the
stock OF gray cloths i'm first hands represented
a. usually small. Prices firm. There l. an a.
tive demand for choice STYLES OF prints. and
prices consequently well kept up. GinghamS
are less active than they have been. A few
fayorito STYLES still 10 considerable extent. and
prices are unchanged. Muslin de laines are not
in lively request. Prcies steady. Pacific
chester brilliants at twenty-one cents, Pacific
plain alpacas at twenty-five cents. woolen
goods are generally duh and without change oT

COoLIE MUTINY AND HORRIBLE MAssAcPF
ON SHIPBoARD.-The Tahiti Cotton Company.
about six months ago, sent the bark Margaret
Condor, Capt. Blackett, to the Gilbert Islands
for cargo of coolies. The captain succeeded
in securing about three hundred, and during the
return voyage they mutinied. and killed the cap
tain and two officers, horribly mutilating their
bodies. The mate escaped to the hold. There
he placed keg of powder under the main hatch.
and having arranged a fuse, called the coolies
when the savages crowded around the hatchway
The fuse was then fired, killing nearly all on
board. The rest jumped overheard or fell Vie
tins to the mate and the remaining men. The
vessel was brought safely TO Tahiti.
