A dispatch from Albany, N. Y. dated Nov. 9, says: A tretpendous flood occurred here last night in consequence of the recent thaw, causing an immense amount of damage to property. The loss is estimated at $2,000,000. The city during the night has been the scene of the utmost confusion, owing to the combined evils of fire and flood, a fire having broken out whilst the flood was 4t its height. Laborers have been working all night in re moving goods from the first floor to the second floors ot the stores in the lower part of the city, where it was thought they would be safe, but, at 11 o'clock the water began rising rapidly, and the workmen had to desist and run for safety. The water continued rising till four o'clock this morning, when it reached a point three feet .higher than ever before known, flooding the whole lower portion of the city as high up as Green street. The lower parts of Herkimer and Hudson (parallel)streets are submerged to the first story and Broadway is flooded from the Exchange to the Delaven Hosse. The stores and cellars on the west ide are filled with water, and all the streets between Broadway and the river are navigable by boats. A large number of cattle have been drowned. At three o'clock the fire bells wore sounded in different parts of the city, adding to the ter ror of the scene. Warren & Son's building on Broadway, and Messrs. Gilson & Dalton's plhm ing mills, and Barrett's warehouse on the pier all being in flames at the same time, owing to the slaclting of a large quantity of litme. Ow ing to the height of the water, it was impossi ble to get the engines to the tire, and therefore the firemen proceeded in bouts with buc-kets, and succeeded in cunfining the flames to the buildings in which the fire originated. T1he glare of the conflagration upon the rushing wa ters of the river and the devastating flood in the city rendered the scene one not soon to be forgotten. CONGBESSIONAL. WASINGTON, Fsn. 11.

A MURDER.-An.z affray occured on the 2f5th ultimo, between two negroes belonging to Robert Jackson, of the upper part of this district, atnd another belonging to a Mr. Wilson, who resides in Polk county, Northi Carolina, which resulted finally in the'death of the latter. The circum standes, as near as we can learni, were as fol lows: There were a nunmber of negroes collected together in a negro hiotuse on Mr. Jaekson's plan-I tation and it seems that the negroes who anter wards got into the affray, were playing cards and betting. Thle, tnegro of Mr. WilIsotn being more lucky thant the other two, won all of their money. Thien ensued a quarrel. Stones were thrown, and finally an axe was aimed by one of Mr. Jackson's negroes at the negro be-longing to Mr. Wilson, which produced the fatal wound. Thu negro was takeni to his master's plantation ini North Catrolina and survived several days. He was buried without a coroner's inquest be ing held over tho dead body, but was anterwards disinterred by the Coroner of Polk county, in- I qunest held, and verdict found according to the above facts.-Sxaraburg Expyress.

Brooks reached this city yesterday afternoon, at half past two o'clock, in charge of the Sub-Com mittee of Edgefield District, who had been depu. Led to proceed to Washington, and conduct the remains to Edgefield Court House. At the Georgia depot, they were met by a Committee of the City Council, and citizens of Augusta, and convejed to the Council Chamber, in the City Hall, which was appropriately draped in mourning-for the occasion. The box enclosing the metalic case in which the body was conffin d was here removed, and the remains placed in the centre of the Chamber. Dulring the hour they lay in state, the Cham ber was visited by hundreds of our citizens, anxious to testify, even by this unsatisfactory demonstration, their respect for the memory of the lamented dead. At half-past four o'clock the remains were removed, and placed in a earse, drawn by four horses, which had been obtained from Charleston to convey them from Lhis city to Edgefield Court House. The pro ession was then formed under the direction of Col. J. B. Campbell, of the Augusta volunteer Battalion, and preceded by a band of music, playing un appropriate dirge, escorted the re mains through the principal streets of the city to Hamburg. In this long funeral cortege were the Clinch Rifles, Ogluthorpe Infantry, Irish Volunteers, Washington Artillery, Richmond Hussars, the Fire Comnpany of the town of Hamburg, the Fire Companies of this city and the llook and Ladder Company, acting as the escort, wvhilst following the hearse, were the members of the Committee of Augusta and Edgefield District, in carriaiges, the Professors and Students of the Medical College, and a large number of citizens. The streets through which the procession moved were filled wvith people, erowding to witness the impressive and imposing display. The remains were placed last night at the American Hotel, in Hamburg, under thme charge of the Council and a Committee of the citizensa or that town, and to-day will be conteved to Edgefield Court House, there to be. deposited in the burial ground of the Brooks family.-Au guta Constitutionalist. From thc Richmond Whig. RMAfWS OF THE HON. PRESTON S. BROOKS, AT EICHMOND. The remains of. 3r. Brooks, ini ebarge of a commnittee of twenty-six gentlemien from South Carolinma, reache~d this city yesterday evening about 5 o'clock, by the Fredecricksbuarg train. They weire met :at the depoit byv the Mayor, and a large conmcours~e of our citize-ns, assembled to pay the tribute of theiir respect to the mea.mory of the list inguished deceased. The Coimmiiittee we-re ad iressed liy the Mavor in a short and feeling speech, conacluding with the request to allow thec Lorpse to be deposited in the Capitol during last night. Richard Yeadonum, Esqj., of Charleston, responmded on be-half of the commnittee, in a few iprssive and duqjuent remarks, whichi will be found below. lBut for the fact that the train was detained everal hours behind time, the great bo~dy of our itizens would have been piresent at the depot to Jo honor to the occasion. As it was, however. le number in atteiidance was quite large. A rocession was formed at the dep.,t, and the earse, drawn by imur horses, was followed to the Lapitol by such of our citizens as hand remined ror thle arrival of the cars. T[he coinnittee pro eded South this morning at S o'clock with the orpse. Thus pasisethi away fronm us forever all hat remains of Preston S. Brooks-as high, as ~allant, and as noble a spirit as ever left the lust of earth behind it I Richiard Yeadou, Esq., of Charleston, S. C., rspoded to the address of the M1ayor, as fol lows: Mr.3Mayor :-Thaesympathy of Virginia, wh~eth er in weal or woe, is ever grateful to the Fahdnet t State. Our hearts, sir, are deeply touched by the expression of that simnpathy on the occa sion of our sail bereaveimenit, andi by you kind' af to place the remains of our deceased friend and brother within thea pirecinets uof youri State Capitol. South Carolina regarded hinm as oine af the brightest of her jewels, ad chierishe~d him as one of the best be loved and miost valued of her sons. She mourns him with a mother's oreadhrsons and daughters moisten his ie was living, we know, siir, that you united with as in twining the ladrel fhr his manly brow-and no that he is dead, you join us in strewiing the eypress and willow on his grave. But our solemni alice and miehancholy duty are to bury, not to praise the dead-to bear his mortal remaiins to heir final resting p~lae in his native State. We ust be pardoned, however for savi ng that his high gifts, intellectual and nioral, hiis brief but brilliant career, his genial splirit and coin I'anioable qualities, which endeared him to all who associated with hiimi, and, above all, the suad Ien stroke, which, ini the prime and vigor of life -in the very midst of increasing usefulniess and lamne-onsigns his manly form to an unitimely, but honored grave, and has seiit hiis spirit to thme God who gave it-have struck a chord, which has vibrated in responsive sy-mplathy throughout he land, save where the heart has been pialsied by fanaaticism, or rendered callous by sectional hostility, to humane and generous fe'eling. Sir, we gratefully accept the homage of your sympa thy, and commit the body of our hoinored and tadented friend to your temporary charge. AN AFFECTING SCENE.-A Washington cor respondent of the Montgomeary, (Ala.) Adrerti ter anid State Gazette, describes a truly touching ene that occtured over the dead body oif the amented Brooks. hIndescribably painful must 'iuve be-en the death of one so loved to thme veii. rable and devoted Judge Butler. No wonder hat lie wvept like a child, for within the wide ange and circle of Mr. Brooks' acquaintances aone '- know but to love him, none named him mut to praise." No one having even the comimon sensibilities if our nature, can read whiat follows unmoved: About ten minutes after his death, the vene-rn ale old Senator, whose locks are now white with the frosts of agc, came into the room, and pon seeing him cold in the embrace of death, Lhe himself upon his.bottom .izi went a. if his heartr would burt from its bound- Judge Butler has lavished the attention and affection of many years upon Mr. Brooks, and he seemed to.be the important object of his solicitude and existence, and while the death-sweat still stood upon the brow of the immortal sleeper, the old man called to the fleeing spirit in tones of sor row, that moved the pitying hearts- of those who stood round to tears--" My. boy, my boy, my boy !" and such a scene of mourning and sor. row, as was witnessed there, cannot be compre hefided, 'niich less repeated here.

All advertisements, to secure puhlicity through our columns, must be paid for when handed in. Those who live at a distance wishing to advertise, can enclose the amount for which they desire to ad tertise. Those advertising by contract, by the year, will be expected to settle up quarterly. OUR EUROPEAN LETTER. The letter of "I." from Venice, will be read with interest. Our respected friend, of Beach Island, will much oblige us by forwarding all his letters, instead of an occasional one; we know they are highly ac ceptable to our readers. SOMETHING DELICATE. Mr. 0. H. P. ScoTT, the obliging and enterprising proprietor of the American Hotel, Hamburg, must ac ccpt our thanks for that delicious Rock-fish presented to us a few days since. We tried it alongside of a fresh, plump Shad; and It was, if any thing, a little the nicer of the two. In these parts, the Rock-fish is a great rarity. A VALUABLE PAPER FOR SALE. Reference is asked to the profer of Mr. Britton, of the Carolina Times, to sell his entire estabhlshment. To an energetic man, with some spare means, here is an opportunity which does not often present itself. DESPERATE FIGHT. A desperate rencuntre occurred near the house of r. ALFRED HATCnER in this District wigiin the last week, which resulted in a serious pistol.shot wound to one of the parties. The combatants were BENJA MIN BOOTH and SILAs OvERSTaEET, the latter the wounded party. A bye-stander was also wounded but not seriously. OVERSTREET was reported yester day to be so low that little or no hope of his recovery was entertained. The weapon used by OvEaRSTREET is represented to us as hrving been a double-barrel sht-gun. TO THOSE INTERESTED. The subscribers turned over to us by C. W. STY.Es, Esq.,-late of the Edgefield Infonner-are reminded that their subscriptions upon that score are now expir ing. And if they wish to continue upon our list, they should notify us at once. We will be happy to num her them among our readers, and shall be pleased to hear from all of them to that efyect. OURSELF. The reader will acquit us of egotistm in the use of this caption, when he considers what follows. Kind friends (gentlemen of prominence and infin encehavc been pleased to place unr natme before the public as a candidate for a seat in Congress. Others, some of greatei' merit than we, and all of equal claims -have also been nommnated by frietids of high char acter and position in our district, Of course, the pros pet is one of distraction and discord among the peo pe of Edgefield. Several ciriz-ens of intelligence and probity have spoken to us, in terms Qf deep regret, of the condition of things which, has here so stiddenly sprung up. We have felt the force of their opinion and now act accordingly. With the most heart-felt thtinks to otur friends in Edgefield and elsewhere, we mtst decline a pilace in the Congressional race now about to occur. If there is any one thing in political life we would avoid more than an other, ii is the being in any wise a piarty to local and personal dissen~ions in th.e matter of our Fed eral representation. 'Our view is (especially now, with the sad calamity before us which necessitates a new election,) to let it pass ifl' quietly and amicably. If either of the two dlistinguished gentlemen (Cot. PIUenss or Goy. IIA~missa,) who have heetn nomi nated for th~e post in qutestion, will accept, we hold it to be th~e duty of their juniors to retire front all oppo sition to him. If not, there may (and probably will) ense a scramble. We do nut wish to be a partici pant in, or an accessory to, any such contest. We trust our friends will enctur with us it, this ap ptreciation of matters as they stand. Canidly, we prefer the po..ition of an independlent South Carolina Editor to a place in Congress uder the circumustances. Our friends will jnstify us in saying that we have nt had the remotest instrumentality in the netntion of our namte in this connection. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE. The laree Barn of Hon. F. W. P'icEcxss, two miles fron this place on the Newberry road, was conisumned by fire on Friday eveing last, involving a very conu siderable loss to thme owner. The building was 90 feet in length by 48 in bre-adtht, tawo stories high, with Granary, Corn-shellers, Thrasher, Fan, Straw-entters &c., &c., complete. In the ha-emeiit were some 25 or 30 mules and several blooded mares. Two of the mares and five of the mules were hturnt to death. Tweity bne of the munles were saved with compara tively little injury. A bout 2700 bushels of corn, be sides a very large quantity of fodder, oats, wheat and peas, were lost. Out of a bulk of about 3000 hushels of corn in the shuck, some seven htundred bushels were saved by hauling waiter and throwing it up' ii the buriiing mass'. A long atnd commodious Cow hioue adjoiniug was als.o burnt, and also a shuck barn. The total loss is estimated at $5,000, and may perhaps prove to liavs been even more. Col. P. states to us that lie has no doubt it was the work of an in cendiary. Ie hasi grounds for the belief; and1 it would be well for every one to keep on the loo~k-out against a like misfortune. It is hoped the perpetra tor may yet be exposed and pttnished as he deserves. " A STROLL IN DUTCH FORK." Wa copy from thme Newberry Mirror this entertain ing sketch, by onr old College associate, Dr. 0. B. NAvaa. Its naturalness, and the decided cleverness with which its incidents are portrayed, will he ap preciated by very many of our readers. If it were not impinging upon the prior claims of our Newerry cotemporary, na would assnredly ask to become the medium (in part) of our old friend's literary lucubrations. GINNY-WINE NIGGER. The Newherry Sua understands the nigger dialect " to the veins of nicety," as an Irish acquaintance of ours would say. Julius Caesar Iannihal, of the Newo York Pick, tmay hide his diminished head.

For the Advertiser. Ma. EDITOR : As the announcement of my name with that of Gen. TIaMUnNOD as a candidate for Con gress must seem to my friends inconsistent with my repeated prefe'rences for that distinguished gentle man, T take occasion to say, Thiat when consulted, as one of his friends, 1 approved then as I do now f his nomination, and wrote to some friends de elining an ffer to nominate myself. Afterwards, however, upon being informed that the General wou!d not accept a nomination, I gave, at the soli eitatiun of a frend. my own name as a Candidate. I will add that if Gen. TIAMSMoND can be induced to acept the office if elected, I am ready and desirous, regardlless of any min-re ascent on his part to a notni 3atimn, to unite my efdbrts with any others, to bring ito the service of our common country his very listiguished and acknowledged talents. Your obedient servant, 11. R. SPANN. From the Advertiser. ro THE CITIZENS OF THE 4TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. My nane was on the 4th inst., announced as a :andidate for Congress. It was desirable that any such announcement should have been deferred till he remains of our late lamented Representative 4ad been deposited in their final resting place. It xvas made by friends, upon the information, that mother name would also be announced the same lay, and with instructions front one of those friends, that if no other candidate should be an ounced, my name should be withheld. Through ome misapprehension, it appeared and could not ivell be withdrawn unless I had decided at on.ce ot to be a candidate. It is with no little diflidence, that I become a can idate for a place which has been tilled by one who, beyond doubt, struck the best Llows that have been struck for Southern Rights. But I do not feel at lib erty to decline a canvass which friends-perhaps too partial-think I should undertake. M. L. BON IIAM. EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENCE. VNmcaE, Dec. 28, 1856. DEAR -:-I will not attempt to tell you how many times I have commenced to write to you and been interrupted. At last I had fixed upon Tr:este as the spot from which you should receive my long elayed reply to your letter. The hardships which I have encountered since I left Munich to my arrival on the shores of the A dilatic surpass description. We started from that ity, (a Peruvian and myself,) in ant uncommonly heavy post wagon (on runners, for the whole coun try was covered for a couple of feet with snow.) The pace or this was the slowest, some three miles an hour or less, and at every aelay we stopped moore than half an hour. Nothing in Germany omes up to time. Nothing goes fast. Having in vented the clock, this people seem to consider it their privilege to sit smoking and drinking, and watch the hands go round. They are not lazy. There is always motion, but so dragging. so slow. Perfect rest would be preferable. After ten hours we found the snow was mehing, and then came thirty-nine long hours of cold and damp discomfort, for we were seatel so that we could not stretch our limbs-eur knees wedged against the board in front, our heads almost touching the top, and no earthly chance for a change of position. Nighat and day over that waste of melting snow and under a grey leden sky we dragged oan. At least wve were in formed by jolting over the large rounmd stones thaat we were apparoaching Viennat. Arrived, we with difficulty pulled our stiffe~ned1 limbs out of the nar row box and putting our efifets on a wheel barrow, made the best of our way to a hotel.

For the Advertiser. SUNBEAWS LAMET FOR THE BRAVE AND TIE TRUE, "GONE BEFORE." Close the leaden eyelids softly, On the death-dimmed, darkened eyes; Press the folded hands all meekly On the heart that ne'er shall rise In wild throbbings swiftly, proudly, In its conscious strength and might God bath called him, and the glory, Of his life-star's set in night! Yes, the star that shone so brightly, With the halo-light of fame, Hanging, trembling o'er his pathway, Gilding o'er his much loved name! Iath set for aye, are yet an earth-stain, Quenched aught of its radiant glow, While its shining was the brightest, On life's billows, onward flow! God forgive us for repining, At His sadly strange decrees; Dashing from his lips the life-cup, Ere lie tasted its deep lees I Yet 'twas best-perchance the roses, Wreathed around that cup's bright brim, Would have withered in their blooming, With Time's blighting soon grown dini! Yet our tears are falling sadly, For our champion smitten down, With fame's flush still on his forehead; God hath called his spirit homc! Let the earth fall softly, lightly, On the heart so strong and brave, A nation's tears the turf shall moisten, A nation's tribute to his grave! SUNBEAM. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

THE LAST CHAPTER. On Friday last the remains of Hon. PaRsToN S. Baooxs reached Augusta in charge of Messrs. FRA ZIER, A ODIson, Mis and HoLLINGwWoRTII nf Edge field; Messrs SuSna, PaA-Tr and McLzxoaE of New. berry; Messrs KtRKwooD and LowNDE5 of Charles ton; and Mr. GiaRs and a College Committee from Columbia. The coffin was taken in hand at the depot by the Mayor and Aldermen of Augusta and quietly conveyed in the City hearse to the City Hall, where it-was placed in state in the centre of the large and handsojne Council Chamber.'Hundreds were there in mournful silence, to look upon the scene. Scarcely a word was audible for minutes at a time, as the im mense crowd came and went in orderly succession. The feeling was evidently deep and unaffected; and will long be adverted to by many citizens oif South Carolina then present, as sumanifestation at once grateful to us and honorable to Georgians. At a quarter past 4 o'clock P. M., it was announced that the procession was formed without, and ready to accompany the corpse to the town of Hamhurg on the South Carolina side. The coffin was again taken in hand by the Augusta members of Council and carried to the street, where it was placed in a large and ele gant hearse drawn by four black horses, which had been procured for the occasion through the Mayor of Charleston. The procession consisted of a troup of Cavalry, four uniformed companies of infantry, along train of carriages and a number of citizens on foot the whole preceded by a band of music with muffled drums. The length of the .column could not have been leA than a half-mile. As it passed through Broad Street, almost every piazza, balcony and win dow were crowded with ladies, eager to witness this sad tribute to the gallant deceased. Many of the prominent business houses were closed ; And the whole occasion was, every way, one to be long re membered. We cannot avoid repeating, that the man. ner in which our Augusta frends have acted in this matter has drawn many a heart towards them, and has gone far to make us feel more warmly alive to the fact, that Georgia and Carolina are indeed sisters, bound together by ties of feeling as well as of interest. At a little before dark the procession halted in front of the American Hotel, Hamburg; when the coffin was taken from the Hearse by the officers of the Volunteer Companies,and deposited in the Hotel par lor, which had been appropriately hung wtith black The escort from Augusta then returned to that city; And the remains of our lamented representative were in the keeping of his constituents and friends. A guard of Honor kept watch during the night. Early in the morning, the entrances and rooms of the Hotel began to fill with anxious cit:zens, who came to drop'a tear upon the cold, polished lid, that concealed the face and form they had so lately admi red in life. A younger brother of the deceased, ob serving the kindness of this demonstration, requested three particular friends to examine the face of the corpse and, if proper, to exhibit it through the glass plate underneath the outer case. It was found to pre sent still a most natural appearance, and every one, old and young, male and female, had the opportunity of looking hurriedly upon the pallid but still regular features of PRFsToN S. BaooKs. We must not omit to mention here, the readiness and zeal evinced by the people of Hamburg on this occasion. The town authorities had every necessary arrangement made, and the citizens generally entered into the manifestations of respect with much cor diality. At 9 o'clock, A. 1)., (Saturday) the coffin was con veyed by the Hamburg Committee to the Hearse. It was escorted out of the corp'rate limits by a large number of citizens on foot, under the command of Col. STUART HARtRISON, one uf the Marshals of the preceding day. Upon the hill above the town this escort opened ranks, facing inwards; And the Hearse, flanked by the Field Oflicers of thieth Regiment, and fllowed by a number of carriatges conveying the va rious committees, passed through on its way to Edge fiehl Village where the interment was to take place. At half past 3 o'clock P. M., the cortege, now vcry largely increased biy the falling into line of many car riages on the route, approached Edgefleid. The ap proach was announced by a signal gun fired in the outskirts of the Village. A few miles out, the head of the procession was met by the Edgefleld Hnssars, (Capt. GRIFFIN,) who then conducted the advance. Within sight of the tosvjg long array of citizens was marshalled on either ideifi the road, who were at once placed in line immediately in front of the Corpse, the v. hole under the guidatice of Maj. S. S. To3Iratus, ass-istedl by Lieutenants ADAMS and PENN. And thus the entire proce~sion entered the village square. We liad not, until then, fornmed a cor reet idea of the numbers in attendance. rThe large area was literally filled with men, women atnd chii dren. The body was at once tuken intoi one of the smaller apariments of the Court H~ouse, that the family of the deceased might in private take their melancholy leave of it. It was then placed upon the table of the Court Room ; and thousands caine to look for a mo ment upon the strong man stricken down by the hatnd ~f death in the mid career oif hiis earthly exertions. Not the least affecting part of this scene, was the num ber of servants who camne crowding in, by permission, to see the face of the dead once more before it went down into the grave; among them, a weeping old woman whio had nursed the deceased in his childhood. At letig' h, the privilege of looking an adieu having been acco~rded to all, the remains were again placed in the Hearsc, th~e procession again formed, and the saddenedi assembtlage were soon mc: once more around an ope-n grave In the Village Church-yard. On one side of it sleeps the dust of the father oif him who now goes to make one more among the pale nations inder the sod. Ott the other, is a small tomb that briefly tells the enid of an infant udaughter, gone before hcr paretnts. Near by, is the nmonument of a gallant brother who tell in Mexico. Te Rev. Mr. IlIDt feelingly pronounced the im pressive lBurial Service of the Eupiscopal Church. rhe coffin was lowered to its last receptacle. Th'le brik arch was rapidly tnrned over the vault. The earth was shovelled in. rThe crowd dispersed. The night cnme on. The dews of heaven fell upon the fresh grave. All was quiet among the white tombs. The living had departed-the dead alone wvere there. The last chap:er of our friend's career is written.

The two deceased had been married only about two years, and gave hopes of becoming patternsto the community not only of conjugal fidelity, but of every virtue. They were loving and kind, as man and wife-they were sincere and devoted as friends -useful as citizens-and devout and holy as Christ ians, eternally trusting in God, and by day and night, raising their prayers to Heaven for his divine providence and almighty protection. In their business relations, they were ezbct and economical, and bid fair to accumulate, not only property but riches.
