[FBOM otra BEGOXAB COBBESPONDENT. J NEW YOBK, March 14.-There was a time when Irish and German immigrants, who left tho old country to seek their fortunes in the new world, arrived here with hopes elated, and with hearts ind minds that clung to tho fanciful illusion that ierc they would find a land flowing with gold and silver, that, he who ran might pick up in abun? dance, and an anecdote is related of a verdant sen )f the Emerald Isle, who, on landing- at Cast e 3arden, and observing a silver quarter lying half loncealed in the grass, spurned it with a contempt lous kick, as who should say, I do not stoop to nek up euch an insignificant amount-he waited ,o find gold, but waited in vain, for the quarter ie had spumed waB the first and only quarter ever mo ?vu him in New York. Such times are past, the vhito immigrants have come to their senses, and io longer expect to* pick up dollars here nt every itreet corner, but the sons of Ham havo caught ;he illusion malady, and from day to day do poor reodmen from the South, who wish to be rich roedmen in the North, arrive here, to find to their lorrow that though there is a plentiful supply of jreenbacks here, everybody takes good care to told on to what thoy have ; even the most philan hropic of tho negro lovers being actuated by the principle that it is no harm whilst not loving tho tegio less to love their greenbacks moro. It has beep ascertained that many of the can ains or" merchant vessels which ply between this itv and Southern ports are i? the habit of nalang such representations to tho poor negroes .f royal roads to fortune, that are to he found here or the seeking, as induce tho poor deluded ireatures to come on here-to starve. For theil? er vices on the voyage these poor freedmen receive to compensation from the philanthropic captains. Che long talked of match for the pugilistic eu ?ounter between SAM. COLYEB, the celebrated clog lancer and great fistic champion of light weights, ind the no less distinguished bruiser, BARNEY LABON, has at last been made up, whercforo tho wo gentlemen will punch each others Lends next Tune in tho most approved and artistic style for he championship and a purse of three thousand Lollars, lt has been agreed upon that each gon leman shall enter tho ring j.t the appointed time mt weighing an ounce more than ono hundred ind twenty-eight pounds, and that they shall then ttocead to pound each other in accordance with ;he rules of the English prize ling, till the Bponge je thrown up and the battle decided. A grand Fenian demonstration took placo last light in Union Square, and a number of enthusi istic gentlemen made patriotic speeches; among :hom was one Col. TRESSILLIAN, who was particul? arly eloquent end excited, and who remarked that tte wished ho WSB in Ireland fighting in the good :ause. It did not seem to occur to his hearers that there is nothing to prevent his going to Ireland if .io chooses, and that it is, therefore, strange that be does not take passage on an early steamer; and so the crowd applauded the sentiment, and the orator will remain here to talk instead of going to ireland to fight. As I rodo down town, this morn? ing, on ono of the Third Avenuo cars, I saw the Irish flag as it floated to the breeze from thc office jf the New York Daily .\eics, and a communica? tive Fenian car driver informed mo, half confiden? tially, that several minions of dollars will be raised in thia city to support, tho cause, and that John Bull would soon come to grief. Hero ho whipped ap hiB team, aa he thoue.ht of Ireland's wrongs, as though said team were tho English Government. One of the most terrible tragedies I liavc ever Liad occasion to givo thc details of was enacted yesterday, and resulted in tho murder of a lovely Little girl, aged but four years. The child waa in % room with her mother and a woman named ELIZA AMJION, whon thc latter seized a gun that stooa in a comer and deliberately pointed it at tho i^UilJ: lind, cocking it, exclaimed, "SARAH, I will ?hoot you." Tho mother cried out that tho gun was loaded, and tho terrified little ghi raised her band to her head appealingly. A moment more and -tho gun was discharged, the entire contents entering thc c' ild'B head, and of correo killing heir instantaneously. The woman, who has been ar? rested on tho chargo of mulder, declared that abe did net boliovo the child's mother when sho cried out that the gun was loaded, and that ?ho loved the littlo girl better than her own life. The fiend intemporal co was tho causo of this heartrending affair, us it hus boon ascertained, on examination, that the woman had been partaking freely of the coutcnts of a bottiu of gin that was found in the room alter the deed was committed. Business men hero express great dissatisfaction at tho action of tho Atlantic Telegraph Company, in refusing to assent to tho proposal mado by the Anglo-American to reduce the cable tariff, and thc suggestion made by tho Herald that a now linc should bo started cy thc American and French Governments, moots with generul approval. As tho rates now stand, nine-tenths of tb" business community cannot avail thomsoves of tho advant? ages of the cable telegraph, and it is assuredly most d?sirable to put a stop to extortion that monopoly ever favors ano. competition must defeat.

We have already alluded to some rumor? fi York District, rolative to popular interference v the regular proceedings of Court for that Distr As there has been some interest excited by rumors, we give the following statement from Yorkvillo Enquirer, which is authentic. The \ sentmcnt of the Grand Jury is an excellent do mont: We re:ret to state that an unlooked-for i extrem ely unfortunate interruption in it? busin occurred the first day by the exhibition, on part of some disaffected citizens, of a. disposit to stop the progress of the Court by violence, the recess, his Honor was waited upon by a cc mittee, consistpig of several citizens, who, we informed, . ominunicatod to his Honor that- ' people of the District were determined that the Co should not proceed wilh its business, and that \ lenee would be resorted to, if necessary, to p vent it. His Honor, on returning to his seat tl ie afternoon, brought the matter to the attont; of the Grand Jury, and directed an immediato quiry as to the extent to which this spirit of <3 i flection prevailed, and whether there existed s organization of persons who were determined resist the holding of the Court. The exciten? seem d for a time to run high, and fears of popu violence were at one time threatening; but tho rection given to tho matter by his Honor seem to allay tho excitement, and all Boomed dispo? to await the report of tho Grand Jury. Tho repi was read next morning to a large and intensely terested auditory; and wo are pleased to add th in vindication of the fair fame of York District sn orderly and law-abiding people, it was well : ceived and accepted as a proper termination oft mifortunato affair. This report will be found belo being published by order of his Honor. Our inquiries induce us to believe that the co ception of this interruption sprang altogetl from the bankrupt condition or our people, wi finding themselves hopelessly impoverished, a restive under tho efforts of creditors to enfoi payment out of tho meagre remnant of their fi mer estates. Representations were made that t like measures had been successfully resorted to other Districts, that the Legislature, in failing provide for the relief of the people, had necee: tated tho taking of tho remedy in their own hanc that, under the recent legislation of Congress, ti Courts of tho State ere without authority; ai that the attempt to render and enforce j adgin en was an unwarranted oppression. Wo are eatisfn that the movers in this matter contemplai nothing further than to prevent the rendering judgments, and that, with this thought film their minds, they overlooked the magnitude of tl evils which would ensue from the condition of la' lessness and social disorder into which we wou be thrown. Wo expresa what we behove to be now tl opinion of every one, that the purpose of viole] interruption was confined to but a few misguide persons, and is now regretted oven by those wi were most activo in it. i he business of th: Courtis now quietly goir forwaru. Wo learn that, on the civil side, little, anything, can be done beyond the call of the sun mary process docket, which is very heavy and muc litigated. lu the si ssions, bids of indictment hav been found for tho offen co of burglary in two case and for the offence of larceny in ono case. Tl trial of these eases will, we learn, complete tl session's business. To His Honor Judge Munro: Tho Grand Jury of York District, to whom wt referred by your Honor, to inquire whether thoi was any organized band of men in this Distric prepared and disposed to re : ist tho admin is fratio of justice, by stopping forcibly the action of th Court of Co mm sn Pleas and General Sessions, no' s.tung in said District, report: That after as dil: gent an inquiry as time permitted, and after bein informed by Mr. William C. Black, the chairma of the committee which waited upon your Honoi that, so far as he knows, no combination exist? tho Grand Jury, mindful of their oaths, and c their duty to the country, take pleasure in sayinj that they have not been made aware of the oxie tence of any suoh conspiracy or intended inaurrec lion against tho la wa and civil authority of Soutl Carolina. Tho people of York District have, in all lime from the days of 76 to the present moment, prov od themselves loyal to the Government and in s ti tn tiona of the State. Contemplating this fact the Gland Jury are constrained to believe tha lhere can exist m the King's Mountain District m combination of men, prepared to tarnish the fai fame of tho District, of the Pabnotto State, and o the whole South, by conceiving and carrying o any such suicidal policy-by proving themselvei disloyal to South Carolina-by proclaiming them selves unfit for omi government-by institutini mob law-by aiding and sustaining tho Black Rc publican majority of Congress in their declaratioi of our unfitness to govern ourselves, and in theil Act of imposing ou tho South rnilitary ruhv-ii asserting to tho world that Andrew Johnson wai wrong, and the dominant party -in Congress wai right, when Andrew Johnson asserted thoro wa! civil : ovcrnment in tbe South, and said part) asserted tuero was not; that when thc President said the military bill was a lie, he did not assen what was true, and said party has spoken truth. The Grand Jury, having confidence in the intelli? gence, in tho patriotism and love to this State glowing in the people of York, trait \ nd believe chere can bo no body of men within its hm its whe are willing to subject themselves to tho charge that they are in a condition of insurrection to the State, and lay themselves bab' J to the consequence there, f, cither at the hands 'A' tho tribunals of the State or of tho military of the United 8tates? whom we may look to bo shortly among us, or bj making themselves hable to punishment for the offence of riot. Considering these various matters, which could bo greatly extended, if time permitted, tho Grand Jury re-amrni the presentment, that they are not made aware of any combination of men to resist tho action of civil rulo by the regularly constituted authorities of South Coi-, lina.

The Great Tennessee Flood. COEBECT ACOOrJKT BX AN EXE WITNESS-THIBTX SEVEN PERSONS DROWNED-IM?TENSE DESTRUCTION OP PROPERTX. Wo aro indebted, says tho Augusta Press, to J. A. SIONAIGO, Esq., late of tho Memphis Appeal, for the following interesting particulars of tho recent disastrous and appalling flood in and around Chat? tanooga: On Thursday, the 7th, the passenger train on tho Memphis and Charleston Road stopped at Ste? venson, on account of the high water m tho creeks and rivers between that point and Chattanooga. Taking a construction train, Mr. 8. and a few others cairo down to the Lookout Bridge, from which they walked along the railroad to the Crutchfield House, the water, in many places, being nearly two feet deep on the track. The rain was pouring down in torrents, and the river was out of its banks and rising ranidly. On Friday morning thc water had roached tho back of tho Crutchfield House; by noon tho house was sur? rounded; and in tho afternoon our informant, not fancying its water privilegos, took his departure in a batte au for the more elevated donned of Mr. Rollins, formerly of this city. This retreat afforded a fine point from whioh to take observations; and the scene throughout tho city became terribly interesting and exciting. During the night boats and rafts were plying m every direction, filled with anxious people escap? ing from the raging waters; foot by foottho murky tide overspread the lower story of all the houses m Market street and throughout the avenues which ho between the hills bordering the city, anxious faces were peering out bice spectres from the Bccond story windows, and moans of agony and affright made the long night truly hideous. un Saturday morning the water was half way up the first story of the Crutchfield House, and it continued to rise until Monday evening, when it had reached fifty-two foot abovo low water mark, and was up to the second floor of tho above hotel. During all thia time ovary atoro in tho city was under water, and the distress for food was a gene? ral subject of apprehension. The opportunity for plunder was promptly seized by tho lawless per? sona about the city, and by Sunday noon hundreds cf boats and rafts were engaged in the nefarious work. To prevent plunder, and to presesvo ordor, martial law was declarod on Sunday, and by even? ing every boat was seized, and nono were allowed to run without a special penni t. A special police was detailed to t reserve order, and rations ^cro issued to tho poor by tho Mayor on ono side of tho river, and by thc military on tho other. On Monday morning a whiskey shop was opened under a tent, whore those who weie dissatisfied with the quality of tho water could alleviate their thirst. Tnis was soon followed by a Yankeo notion shop. During thc day, a largo bacon warehouse owner unknown tb our informant-swung around and was swept into the river. A small steamer mado its appearance on Monday. Tho most ludicrous, as well* as most touching scenes, wi re presented on every hand during these trying days and terrible nights. Whole families un the roofs of houses, waiting to be removed to a place of safety-gay parties of young people in boats sailing about amid tho general wreck children crying for toed and shivering with cold and cont'ussion and rain everywhere. The Daily Union oihco vas submerge:!, and for two or turco days no paper WUB issued. On Tuesday, a party of four, consisting of Mr. Siguaigo, Mr. Higlitowor, of Alabama, Mr. Jones, of LaUrange, and Mr F. N. Graves, of Marietta, having built a rude boat, pulled out tor Missionary Ridge. When they left, the water had fallon about a foot and a hah', but still covered tho whola busi? ness port ol' the city to tho depth of nvo to ton feet. After a perilous trip, they reached the foot of the mountain, walkod over thc battlo ground of Mis? sion Ridgo to Rosaville and Chickaniauga; and from thence to Lee vt Gordon's Mills. Here they hired a wagon, which convoyed them a few miles, from whence, after some delny at swollen creeks, they reached Ringgold on Wednesday morning. Tho next clay, Hie trains being suspended on the road, they proceeded io Dalton on foot, having walked, since leaving Stevenson, about 75 miles, in? cluding tno several miles pf navigation in the frail boat in which they left the unfortunate city. Tho flood ia tho most extensive and destructivo over known, the rivor having reached fifty-two fee* abovo low water mark. Our informant estimates the d..mago at Chatta? nooga ut limy S5C0,CU;. 'ibo loss along tho valley ferina is immense, many plantations being swept of stock and provisions, us well as outbuildmgs and fences. Large quantities of cora, in ware? houses and at river Jaudiugs, aro swept away. t?o far as ho could hoar, thirty-seven persons wera drowned in and aro and Chattanooga, and tho amount of want and.'suffering ia truly heart? rending. PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS. In the Senate, on Wednesday, a number of bills were reported from the Committees and passed. One of them directs a survey to be made for a ship canal to connect Lakes Erie and Ontario. Mr. Trumbull, from the Judiciary Committee, reported a substitute for the House Bill supplementary to the Military Reconstruction Bill. The bill pro? vides for the registration, by the military com? manders of the rebel States, of all voters who aro not disfranchised by the operation of the Military Bill, and requires each one to take an oath to sup? port the Constitution of tho United States and to obey the laws; it also provides for the holding of conventions in each State to amend the State Con? stitutions, and for the election of delegates there? to; military officers to superintend the elections for delegates. When a Constitution shall have been agreed upon by the Convention, it shall be submitted to the people, and if ratified by them, it shall be submitted to Congress, and if there ap? proved, the Slate so adopting such amended Consti? tution shall be entitled to representation in Con? gress. The expenses incurred under the act to be paid from any funds in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated. Mr. Trumbull asked immediate con? sideration for his bill, but objection hoing made, it went over under the rule. Mr. Wilson called up a resolution previously offered br him, provid? ing that the danns. of colored soldiers for sums due them shall be paid into tho Freedmen's Sav? ing and Trust. Company. Mr. Wilson declared that such a course was necessary to protect the colored soldiers from the men who systematically plunder them. ' It was generally conceded that the colored soldiers were sharp enough to take care of their own money, and the resolution was recom? mitted to the Militar}' Committee. Some other business of an unimportant character was trans? acted, ufter which the Senate went iuto Executive ! session, and soon after adjourned. In the House, after the introduction of a nam- j ber of Bills ana resolutions, tho Committee of the J Whole on the state of the Union proceeded to dis- . pose of the business on the calendar. The Senate resolution of thanks to Mr. Peabody for his nu- '? m?rous gifts for educational purposes, and di- i recting the President to cause a medal to be made and presented io him, was considered, and laid ; aside to be reported to the House. The Senate joint resolution for the rehef of the destitute in ? tho Southern and Southwestern States, direct? ing the Secretary of War to issue supplies of food sufficient to prevent starvation and ex- 1 treme want among the people of all classes, and ] appropriating $1,000,000 for that purpose, was next taken up, and gave rise to considerable debate. Fernando Wood opposed the measure, objecting ? to alms-giving on the part of the Government. - and protesting that there was not such an amount . of destitution in the South as to call for tho passage of Buch a measure. The Radicals favored , the passage of the resolution, and Mr. Banks ' offered an amendment appropriating $50,000 for : tho distribution of needs among the destitute, j General Butler moved to strike out all after the enacting clause, and substitute therefor a sec? tion appropriating $1,000,000 for tho relief of the widows'and children of Union soldiers who were > starved to death in rebel prisons. He held that tho wealthy people of the South, who wore paving no taxes, should be made to support the Southern poer. Ho cited the fact that the Mississippi Leg- < islattu'o had just appropriated $20,000 for tho de? fence of Jeff. Davis, and thought when a Stale was , able to do that it was ablo to provide for its poor. . Mr. Covode supported Gen. Butler's amendment, and said that of a company of cavalry raised -n his ' district twenty-four were starved to death in An dorsonville, among them his youngest son. The resolution waa discussed at great length, and the Committee finally rose without having reached a decision, and the House shortly after adjourned. State Items, The Greenville and Columbia Railroad obtained ! a verdict at Abbeville Court House, last week, 1 against -- Partlow, for $8500 damages, for in- 1 juries to the road, occasioned by the defendant < placing obstructions on the track. Suoh conduct, when wilful and malicious, ia now, by act of the Legiskiure, punished with death, and it is lo be hoped in future that such occurrences will be rare. ; {Greenville Enterprise. . REV? 'J RN BAT.-Last Saturday waa return day for this District, and perhaps never before has any- ' thing like so large a number of writs been, return- 1 ed ak now crowd the docket for a hearing at this Court. It really seems as if a panic had soized upon almost every creditor in the District. Over ono thousand cases wore recorded by the Clerk. We doubt, however,-whether many of the debtors will suffer from the consequences of this almost in? discriminate and unreasonable method of suing. j [Greenville Mountaineer. Our citizens enjoyed the novelty of a sensation ? yesterday' morning on awakening to find tho trees { encoded in ice, and flowers blooming among tho crystals of winter. Beautiful as was the spectacle, ' poetically viewed, it is sad to contemplate the broken limbs that have fallen under their icy load, and the now ruined prospects of a successful finit season.-Carolinian. ' j It would seem as if tba general business of Col- : bia WAS never at BO low an ebb as at the present . time. The uncertainty of political affairs appears to have created a caution that forbids extraordi- ' nary investment and compels all to husband and economizo their scant resources against the com- i ing of some anticipated evd day. The universal : complaint of our merchants is [small sales, large expanses, and a gloomy future-1 bid. THE WKATHEB.-For the_ post ten days we have had rain almost every day; and yesterday, agree-, : able l;o the prophecies of Perry Davis' Almanac, it \ sleeted for some timo, making, the air! very cold. This sudden change will, w? fear, not only injure ' vegetation, but complote the destruction of the 1 fruit crop. Thf amount of rain fallen has also 1 considerably retarded the movements of our far- ? mers, who, we are glad to say, woro making j preparations for extensive operations this season. LATEB,-A slight sn iw storm passed over hore yesterday afternoon.-Florence Gazette',' 1 The Court of Common Pleas and General Ses- 1 sionw for this District adjourned on Saturday last. I Thomas Byers, freedman; was tried on Friday for i arson, and found guilty. He was sentenced on i Saturday morning to be hung on tho first Friday ' jn Juno next.- ?f?nonviUe Tym?s, Georgia Items. CHOP PBOSPECT.-The Cherokee Georgian of the 8th fiays : Wo aro pleased to see and hear from the farm? ers, that there is an unusually flattering prospect ! for an abundant wheat harvest in this section; and ? our planting friends, too, are earnestly engaged in making early preparations for a large crop of corn. The wheat crop in Georgia was never so prom? ising, So far as we have heard from, this crop is ? not materially injured, The fruit crop in some localities, we fear, is totally destroyed. But the clerk of th<? weather seems to have had a "rule 1 nisi" served upon him, and before he had served \ all with his icy process. Near Aiken, we learn i that fruit has been dostroyed hy icy ligaments. , Near the Pine House, the attentions were confined to the tops of the pine trees. A similar dispersion J of favors was displayed along the Georgia Rail? road. Up to the present writing, wo think, or ' rather hope, that enc ugh fruit has been spared in the embrace for moderate consumption, to refre? h the hot days of summer solstice.-ConstUutianuliet. A gontleman from tho country informs us that in cutting a ditch, a short time since, he found that the loons ts existed in large numbers about a foot below the surface. Thoyare as yet without wings, but very activo. It is his opinion thoy make their appearance every thirteenth year, their last visit being in 1854.-West Georgia Gazette. THE 0PE3A Housa.-This building will bo pushed forward to completion at tho earliest practicable moment, and to that end a large number of arti? sans will commence operations at once. From a notice in otu: special column it will bo seen that Captain Crisp will have immediate supervision of the building, and his well known genius and energy in all matters thea rical, givo every assurance thai, our city will soon boast a first-class placo of amusement. It is expected that Captain Crisp will opon with a splendid company as early as Juno next.-ALanla Intelligencer. DISOEDEB ABOUT OBDEB.-In the Unitod States Senato, on Tuesday, Mr. TrumbuU moved to go into Executive soision. Mr. Sumner, who wanted to got at his famous resolutions, asked thc Sena? tor to give way for a mom nt. Mr. Trumbull said thc debate would be inter? minable on this point, Mr. Sumner said he oculd not forboar congratu? lating the Senator from Indiana [Mr. Morton] on thc stand he had taken. Mr. Trumbull called Mr. Sumner to ordor; he (Mr. T.) bad made a motion to go into Executive session, and the Senator from Massachusetts was congratulating another Senator on his opinions on the subject of reconstruction, which ho submitted hud nothing to do with tho subject of an Execu? tive session. Mr. Sumner rosumed his remarks on recon? struction, when Mr. Fesaendeu called him to order, Mr. Sumner. I know tho rules of the Senate. Mr. Fessenden. Of course; you know every? thing better than any other Sonator. Mr. Sumner. Not half so well as tho Senator from Maine. Tho Chair. Gentlemen, please come to order. Mr. Sumner argued that ho was proceeding in order. Mr. Fu?enden said Mr, Sumner wa3 out of order all tho time. Tho Chair said it had always been the custom to allow considerable latitude in debate. Mr. Sumner remarked that he would pursue the subject at another time, when tho Senate went 'nto Executive session, and, after soino time spent therein, adjourned. WASTTNO ADVICE.-Tho Horald's proposition to run Generals Grant and Leo for tho Presidency and Vioo-Presidency, next year, has elicited some imcomplimontary commenta. As Bennett never felt any other than a pecuniary resentment at in? sult, he coolly publishes one ot these, ns follows: PeiL.vDEi.rHiA, March 9,1867. J. G. Bennett, Esq. LEAH Sin: You require every onco and a while somebody to talk plainly to you, and in this con? nection I am constrained to say that you uiado a d-d fool of yourself by proposing, in to-day's Herald, to mu Generals ?rant and Lee, on the s m?o ticket, for tho Presidency and Vice-Presi? dency in 1808. Philadelphia is wrong. When Gordon was young, people talked to him with boots and cowhides to Iiis great worldly advantage and littlo moral im? provement. Throwing gras?1?, after throwing stones, ia not likely to prove notably effective. OBITUARY. SIED.

I cannot express the astonishment I felt tn seeing the two young boys dis? course the most masterly music. Being a little acquaint? ed, and having some musical talents myself, I requested them to play several operatic pieces, which, I must con? fess, were splendidly performed. The great object which every one should bear in mind is the apparent young age of the two young men, and that the playing has not been taught them by teachers, but simply by their old father. It is, therefore, but practice which has made them such good and skillful performers. I noticed that Mr. OTTO MEYER, Leader of the Band, performs entire? ty upon three strings, and the tone is as sweet and clear ie it possibly could be with a full sett March 18 1* J93- NOTICE.-CONSIGNEES PER STEAM 3HTP E.
