Fresh winds aud cloudy weather are indicated for the Atlantic coast. MOBILE, March ll.-There was a se? vero rain and thunder storm here to-day, lasting five hours. A negro woman was killed by lightning. The Eastern and Western portions of the city are com? pletely overflowed - bridges washed away, and stores flooded. Heavy losses caused to merchnuts by the overflow, due, in great part, to the new track of the New Orleans, Mobile and Chatta? nooga Railroad. Loss by the overflow, in bridges and merchandise, 810,000. Cleared to-day, the ship Chancellor, with 5,672 bales of cotton, weighing 2,SH,490 pounds-the largest cargo cleared since the war. Gov. Alcorn, of Mississippi, has met with a series of misfortunes within thc past few weeks, such as are seldom visit? ed on ono man. Some four weeks ago a destructive fire swept away his magnifi? cent gin house and saw mill, with all their costly machinery, on his Jones? town plantation, and withiu four^ days after his policy of insurance had expired. Before the extent of his loss could be fully realized, n devastating storm swept over his domains, destroying his fine ! storehouse and scattering its co?tent;* broadcast. The damao/o is said to be very heavy. m ? ?? It is understood that the President will soon nominate to the Senate a number of Senators and members whoso terms ex? pire! on the 8th instant, to important of? fices at homo and abroad. There is quito n list of these gentlemen, nearly all of whom expect the President to pro? vide for them. Most of them aro anx? ious to go abroad, and, as a consequence, several recalls of persons now deeming themselves secure aro expocted. In San Francisco, on the Gth, the Chi? nese indulged in a pitched battlo in the rear of their theatre in the afternoon. Knives and iron bars wore freely used. They wero finally dispersed by thc meons of a shower of bricks, hurled from tho neighboring roofs by tho mutual friends of tho contestants. Many were injured, but it is not known whether any were killed. Several wero arrested. The invention of the Bavarian mitrail leuso promises to provo equivalent to a gold mine for the inventor. He has re? ceived 81,000 for the invention, and will receive 81.20 for every gun of this pat? tern turned out from tue Government manufactory. Tho Haytiens aro preparing for war. These bellicose people are determined to resist their annexation to the United i States, even at tho cost of a European lament and 59,000 Snider rifles. lu tbe House, tho Republicans seem to bo fearfully demoralized at tbe sight of so many Democrats. They have no hope that n Ku Klux bill can be passed, and very few of them, except tho bold Ben. Butler, bave any idea of trying the experiment. The Democrats, they al lege, would keep them hero all summer f?llibusteriug. Bon. Bntler says be is willing to try it, nod ho can stay as long as the Democrats. Butler stated to-day that he did not intend to go into goneral legislation, but only to pass a bill for the j suppression of the Ku Klux. Ono of bis colleagues said tho Rermblicnns could not pass a bill of that kind if they re? mained here all tho year. The indica? tions are that the Democratic sido of the House will exercise a wholesome re? straint in tho new Congress over the Re? publicans. Tho latter, at least, seem to appear to appreciate fully the Democrat- j ic strength. --. ? Gen. Braxton Bragg has brought suit in the United States Circuit Court against parties who live in France, for tho possession of his old Greenwood plantation, claiming $80,000 damages j for destruction of property, and also for 587 shares, ouch forSlOO, of stock in the lllZiUUO XJUurv Ul JuuUt8l?uu, The attention of the Secretary of State has been citied to the fuct that there are quite a number of Russiaus living at Sitka who are in a destitute condition. They desire to leave that country, and ask that menus for emigrat? ing to Russian possessions may be af? forded them. A Lexington, Kontocky, paper asks: "If Congress cauuot grant a charter to thc Cincinnati and Southern Railroad, how could it charter the Cincinnati aud Covington Bridge Company?" If the author of this conundrum cannot jump down his owu throat, how could he jump out of bed yesterday morning? It appears from recent medical exami- ! untious, made iu thc English lunatic asylum?, Hint thc bones of crazy people are moro brittle than those of the sane, there being, through thc aetiou of the diseased brain, a wasting away of the phosphates. "Gen. Butler," au exchange tells us, "has recently presented 6500 worth of silver plate to n church in "Massachu? setts." If this bo true, that church should immediately bc arrested and ar? raigned as a receiver of stolen property. Jeau 1'ierron, an old miser, died last week, in New Orleans, worth 8150,000.
