KnoxvUiXiB, Tbnn , March 8 ?The actual damage by the late flood in this section has been grossly exaggerated. Considerable loss has resulted in indi? vidual oases, but it is entirely con? fined to the margins of the larger streams. 8t. Louis, Maroh 3 ?A furious enow storm commenced here about 1 o'clock this morning and raged tbe remainder - of the night. The snow now lies about a foot deep on a level. All the etreet railways are blocked, and traffic of ail sorts is much impeded. All the railroads centreing here are more or less blocked, and the trains are muoh behind time. No such storm has prevailed in this seotion for eleven years. Toivedo, March 8 ? The most vio? lent snow storm of the season set in this morning, accompanied by a gale from the North-east, aud still con? tinues. The street railroads are en-j tirely abandoned, and railroad travel generally is muoh interrupted in all directions.

Salutes were fired at Pine Bluff and other points. 5 Joint resolutions passed both bouses, to-Jay, thanking those mem? bers of Congress who voted for the Poland report, pledging the Govern? ment to-sea that-equal Cad exact j as - tice is done to all-men. Washington, March 8?10 P. M.? The Louisiana elections cases have been 'decided by the House with very little discussion. Pinohbsek'* claim was rejected,'and Sheridan waa de? clared duly elected, and was sworn in. " Sypher was declared not elected, and Lawrenoe wes admitted in his stead, \ aud took the "iron-clad oath. They have eaob'lsbont fifteen hours to serve. The President has nominated Henry B. Pease, now United Statea Senator from Mississippi, to bo postmaster at Yicksburg; Hubert Steward for poet master at Meequ, Miss., and Alonzo Webster; postmaster at Orangebarg, S. The Comptroller'of the Carrency has called upoa the national banks for a report of their condition at the close of business oh the lit instant. Bomb. cu? Maroh 2.?The floods are upon us. The rivers have over? flowed their banks, and the water 1? now six inches deep en tbe aide-walks of a square of the oity. To morrow, it will be into twenty business houaes. It is now raining iu torrents, and the waterB rising rapidly. Oar motto is, "Trust in God and put your goods on tbe highest shelf." Washington, Maroh 4.?Iu the t House, last night, on motion of Mr. ' Lawrence, of Ohio, the Senate amend? ments to the bill to pay the award of tbe Southern Claims Commission, were concurred in. Mr. Gerald, from the conference committee on,the Bun dry civil appropriation bill, submitted a report. Mr. Randall, who had re? futed to sign tbe report, said be had not done bo, and it was dne to the House end the people of the oountry that he ehoold give bis reason for de? clining to do so. First, he oonsidered the bill, in amount 927,000,000. as ut? terly unjustifiable in the present con? dition of the treasury and bnsiness of theooontry. He not only protested against the amount, but all through the bill there were clauses that, to aay the least, were, very objectionable. There was another reason?the com? mittee had Utterly failed to support the direction of the House in relation to tbe New Iberia Mining Company. The report was then adopted. Mr. Parker, of Missouri, submitted the re? port of the committee on coaterenoe on the deficiency appropriation bill, whioh wee adopted end the bill passed. A number of pension end other private bills of a minor nature were passed, either under the suspension of the rales or by unanimous ooasent. The Senate bill to establish the boundary line, between Arkansas and the Indian Territory was .taken up and passed. At 11.30 A. M., Mr. Pecker moved io admit ladies upon tbe floor, to which unanimous consent was given, and the outer circle was toon enliven? ed by the gay colors of the ladies. Mr. Da wee offered a resolstion, that a committee > of three be appointed to join e similar committee oi the Beaate and wait npon tho President, and in? form him, if he has no communication to make, the two houses are ready to adjoaru. Adopted. The Chair named Messrs. Dawes, Maynard and Cox as such oommittee. The remainder of the time was Consumed iu announcing the enrollment of bills end the presen? tation of executive documents. Mr. D*wes, from the committee to welt on tho Preeiaen?, aunoouoed thai ?bat duty had beon per form od, and that the President replied that he bed no far? ther communication to m?ke. Tue Speaker then addressed the Huoee as follows: Gbntlkmsn : I olose with this hoar a s i yeart?' service a* Speaker of the House of Representatives?a period surpassed in length by bat two of my predecessors, and equaled by only two of then. The mutations of personal end political fortune in this country hare limited the great majority of those who hare sooep'ed this Ghair to shorter terms of offioe. It would be tbe gravest insensibility to the honors and responsibility of life not to be deeply touched by so signal a mark of political esteem, aud that whioh I bare reoeived at tbe hands of my associates. I desire, in this last moment, to letnrn to them, one and all, my thanks and gratitude. To tbo?e from whom I dii for in my party relations, (the minori? ty of this House.) I teuder my ac? knowledgments for the generous cour? tesy with whioh they havo treated me. By one of those sudden and deoiaive changes whioh distinguishes popular institutions, and which is a conspicu? ous mark of a free psople, that minori? ty is transferred in next Congress to tbe governing power of these. How? ever it might possibly have been under other oiroumstanoes, the event necessarily renders these words my farewell to the Chair. The Speaker ship of the American House of Rep? resentative* is a post of honor, of dignity, of power and of responsi? bility. Its duties are at onee compli? cated and continuous; they are both onerous and delicate; they are per? formed in tbe broad light of day, under the eye of tho whole people, subject at all times to the closest observation, and always attended with the sharpest criticism. I thick no other official is held to. such atriot und such rigid accountability. Parlia? mentary ratiags, ia their very nature, are frequently almost absolute in au? thority and instantaneous in t fleet; tbey cannot always hu enforced in such a way as will win appluase or secure popularity. Bat I am sure that no man, of any p*rty, who is worthy to fill this chair, will ever see a differ? ence between duty and policy. Thank? ing yon onoe mure, and thanking yon most oordially for tbe honorable testimony yon have placed on record to my credit, I will perform my only remaining duty, in dfolariug that the 43J.Congruas has reached its constitu tional limit, aud that the House of Representatives stands adjourned with? out day. With his last wards the hammer fell and Speaker Bioine luft the Chair aud took a seut at tho Clerk's desk. Then followed a scene probably never before witnessed in the halls of the House of Representatives. All over the floor and in the rear of the heats, which were densely packed, as well as the gallery, there was the wildest enthusi? asm?waving of handkerchiefs by the ladies and dapping of haods by every? body?the two sides seeming to vie with each other. Hand-shaking among the members then commenced, aud the time was mnch longer than usual before the mombers and others began to retire from tbe halls. And thus end? ed tbe second session of the 43d Con? gress. Iu the Senate, at midnight, last night, Mr. Wright moved to lay the river and harbor appropriation bill ou the table; lost?yeas 19; nays 29. Mr. Wiadom moved an amendment, pro? viding $600,000 for the commencement of the Henipan Canal, wbich was agreed to. The bill having been cbu sidered in Committee of the Whole, was admitted. The Foroe Bill is dead?not having been taken up after its second reading. Financial and Commercial Report?. Columbia, March 4.? Cotton firm ?middling 15^(^15^; sales 108 bales.

Consumptive*, Take Notice.? Every moment of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much depends on the judicious oboice of a; remedy. The amouut of testimony in favor of Dr. Soheock's Pulmouic Syrup, as a euro for consumption, far exoeeds all that can be brought to support the pretensions of any other medioiue. See Dr. Sobenok's Alinaoao, contain rug the certificates of many persons of the highest respectability, who have been restored to health, after being pronounced incurable by physicians of acknowledged ability. Sohenok'sPol monio Syrup alone has oured many, as these evidences will show; bnt the oure is often promoted by the employ? ment of two oi her remedies which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. These additional remedies sre Sehe nek's Sea Weed Tonio and Man dxake Pills. By the timely ose of these medicines, according to direc? tions, Dr. Sohenok certifies that most any oase of consumption may be cured. Dr. Sohenok is professionally at his prinoipal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advioe must be ad? dressed. Feb 12f3 The professed and blatant "friends of the negro" do not seem to care n continental about the Freedmen'a Hank swindle. The commissioners are doing all they can to get the Govern? ment to buy the bank property of the defuuot concern, and say, "Upon its sale depends the immediate payment of a 20 per oent. dividend and the re? lief of the Buffering depositors." If the Government buys that property, a oommittee of Southern Democrats should be appointed to see that the negroes get their 20 per oent. The true way to pay these "suffering depo? sitors," is to compel the thieves who made away with their money to dis? gorge. The negro will not be apt to confide his mouey to Radical philan? thropists in the future. That Beautiful Girtj.? Diseases of the blood are legion, the whole body suffers from the slightest impurity, ss is seen by thousands every day. Look at that beautiful figure, a youog girl, whose graceful form bespeaks a faoo as fair as she is beautiful, with blotches, boils, pimples and sores. These are nature's beacon-lights, to warn you that your blood is full of fever and hu? mor. And you would be wise to heed the admonition in time. Get a bottle of Heinitsh's "Qaeeu's Delight," and purify your blood. * X m ? ? Lbttbb fbom Hon.
