IcE Gomez For The last week or ten days
the Susquehanna river has been gorged with
ice. This river rises in the southern part Of
New York, flowing through the State of Penn
sylvania, into Maryland, and emnting into the
Chesapeake Bay. Port DEPOSIT, in this State,
is situated on that river, and has been dam
aged considerably By the gorge. The follow
ing account we condense:
By actual measurement the height of this
food was Twenty-Five inches above the food
of 1857, which WAS the greatest previous dis
aster of the kind ever experienced in this
locality. This flood attained the height Of
fifteen feet above the ordinary water level Of
the river 1t is certain The river is tilled With
ice for at lcnst twenty miles presenting the
rugged aud broken aspect OF great white
plain of plowed snow. The hope for reie
from this gorge at the mouth is a strong south
e.lg wind, which will blow the waiter into The
river from 4 he hay and aid the tide to counter
act the swift current flowing out; the water
coming in will lift the ice from the bar and
case it of
Port Deposit has a population Of probably
,, 500. Of whom soc are mechanics aud labor
ing men. Some OF these men have been out
Of employment nearly the whole winter. and
now that their homes ARE deluged theS are in a
verv sad blight indeed, with dependent iami-
lies. 1t is estimated that about one hundred
men are in deStitution and want. OF the
leading industries stone quarrymeu and stone
cutters seem to be the worst off This is \
large business in Port Deposit, coming next
to The lumber interest. MeClenahan Il Bro
employ two hundred men, and they had to
stop on account of inability to ship. They
had recommended Only short while before
the flood but the gorge has mace il impossible
10 prosecute their business, though the quarry
| is not flooded. The humber and timber trade
employs large portion of the capital of the
town and The greater part OF lis labor This
industry is knocked into cooked hat
The first night of the GOOD MANY lahorers

are repaired. as the country roads are in a
most miserable condition The railroads can
moi be repaired for fully two weeks after the
ice disappears. One Of the greatest Temporal
rv Inconvenience 10 the inhabitants Of Port
Deposit was the flooding of the three bakeries
upon which there was dependence TO a iarpe

You ask whether il is crime for which you
have u right 10 find an Indictment that me-
gro has been denied full and equal enjoyment
Of accommodations, advantages, facilities and
privileges of theatres and inns of the Stale ;
such denial is not an offence over which
Congress can give jurisdiction, these are mat

trolls. Parties who think themselves ags rieved
can bring their civil action in this Court AT
once ANY decision NAV then make can

TUE UNPOPULAR POSTAL LAW. Postmaster
General Jewell has granted reprieve until
April Isl in The execution of his new law
against the cheap transportation Of mercban-
disc OF The third class, including books aud
newspapers. This law is a very conspicuous
instance ofa retrograde policy. It's very
rare thing to find in our land backward
movement from more privileges to fewer,
from cheaper postage to dearcr But TO Mr.
Jewell has been reserved the honor of presid-
ing over so unusual change. 70 double the

achievement; nor could il ever have been
effected without the provision for il being
