Boston. April 18.?A tremendous flood,
with' disastrous .results, occurred but
ovening, in the towns of Wrentham and
Norfolk, about twenty-five miles distant,
by the breaking away of a dam which re?
strains the water in Whitins Pond, the
source of Mill Biver. This is a small
river, not over twenty-five feat broad at
low water,' but running with strong cur
rent, mostly through meadows, and
emptying into Charles Biver at Mead
way. ' At this thne; an immense body of
water was confined in the pond by a
dam about 100 feet in length. The sud?

the embankment of sapd above the
culvert that it stood apparently in?
tact for the space of .an hour, and
then it caved ip, and was swept away.
When the road bed sank a freight train
was within .fifteen feet of the place,
though .ttot hi motion. A great volume
of water had already passed the railroad,
and hurried on to the achievement of
of its greatest feat, forty rods below at
the third cotton mill- The mill was
originally a three-story wooden build?
ing, bnt lately was enlarged lrr the addi?
tion of a wing on each end. The bridge
over the I country road succumbed, and
then the water obtaining a firm bold of
the main, building, lifted it and sent it
crashing to . the meadows below. So
. thorough was the work of demolition
that the cupola alone of what a few mi-1
nutes before was a valuable mill re?
mained standing upon the plain. The
machinery and water wheel went with
the mill, and shared the fate of the
structures which housed them. The
wings were left standing, but were so1
badly wrenched and undermined that
they are probably ruined and will have
to come down. About a half mile further
down the stream! was another country
road bridge,' near Klngebury Pond. This
was snapped from its oundations almost
at the approach of the waters and car?
ried away. On the level space between
the road and river tho waters spread out
and ceased their work of destruction.
The last bridge was swept away about 7
o'clock in the evening. One body was
swept down in the flood, but it was sup?
posed to be that of a man for some
months missing. As far as known no
lives wore lost, but the damage to pro?
perty is very large; no houses were
swept away, as their location on the
banks wns such that tho water did not
reach them. The ' following arc the
losses as far as ascertained: WhHnv'u
Dam, ?2,000; Elliot Mills, $10.000; the
town lof Norfolk, $5,000; the New York
and New England Railroad, $15,000;
City Mills, $50,000 to $75.000. A large
number of persons are thrown out of
employment by the fall of the City Mills.
BsowasvinnK, Texas, April Irl.?The
following is the report of the committee
appointed by a mass meeting of the citi?
zens of Brownsville. The members of I
the committee were all Union men, three
of whom are Federal officials?Colonel]
Hayns, Collector of the Port; Colonel G.
G. Davis, Deputy Collector, and Edwnrd
Downey, postmaster:
To tub Hon. J. L. Hayns, Chaiumam,
and Wm. Kellt, Sscbetabt or the Mass
Meetino: Your committee, to whom was
referred the subject matter of the alleged
statements of Senor Mariscal, the Mexi?
can Minister at Washington, in regard
to the border troubles on the Rio Grande,
iviz: That they are as much the work of I
Americans as of Mexicans; that American |
citizens, disguised as Indians and Mexi?
cans, frequently raid upon the settlers,
|and the more daring of the parties en?
gaged in the frequent raids arc ex-Con
tfederate soldiers, who, ruined'by war
and deprived of the support of slave
{labor, prefer the life they are leading to
warning an honest livelihood; say they
ee satisfied that Senor Mariscal has been
isinformed, and grossly deceived as to
"".ne .true;.condition of affairs on this
'?Antieiy' and that, he bias thus nninten
nally probably done the American
itizens of. this frontier great .wrong and
justice, as con be easily proved by tho
ost undoubted testimony. The time
riven your committee is too short to pre?
pare a full refutation of unjust aspersions
Bontaihod in the correspondence of
'Senor Mariscal, and your committee
would recommend the appointment of a
commission to collect facts, and submit
them to tho consideration of the Hun.
Secretary of State to refute the charges]
if tho Mexican Minister. In tho mean?
time, your committee submit the follow?
ing brief resume of facts which arc sus?
ceptible of tho clearest proof. First,
that for at least ten years since the close
of our civil war there has not been
single act of hostility, invasion or plun?
dering, or filibustering against the Re?
public of Mexico from the Shite of I
Texas, nor any act of a single person
Iiassihg from this to tho other side of th*
lio Grande, with any such intent, aud
we challenge any seiniilia of proof to tk<
contrary. Second, that for the last ten
years raids of volunteer parties from i
Mexico to this side of the Rio Grande |
have been continuous oud persistent,
and these plundering parties have drawn
from our stock ranches hundreds of thou?
sands of stock. They have committed rob?
bery and arson, and* to the repeated com?
plaints made to the Mexican authorities
for their rendition to tho hands of jus?
tice a deaf ear has been turned. We cito
the following rocent and notorious cases:
The robbery of a storo-at Ponescannd|
the murder of the Morton brothers; the
murder' of R. E. Ashbury at Losangos;
the murder of Mr. Fuller, postmaster at
Elsanse, and his clerk in Hidalgo County;
the , murder of La Hill? by Ricardo
Flo res, near El Post olio; the attempted
assassination of Capt King and a party
of friends near San Fernando, and the
murder of one of his friends; the murder
of Alexander Morel! and many others,
which will be detailed Hereafter, and
lastly inn recent raid of 400 or 600 men
In a body near Corpus Christi, whieh
band captured and held as prisoners
many persona, including three ladies,
and which finally aurroundod the town
of Roma on their return to Mexico for
the . purpose of robbery, from whioh
they worn only? deterred/ by the presence
of United States soldiers. Tho proof of
the extent of the robbery committed by
thcao plundering raids appear in the re?
port of the Frontier Cornmission, to which
additional evidence eould be added.
OBhW, that the charge that these crimes
??ore committed by ex-Cohfoderat? sol?
diers, disguised as Maxieans ar.d In?
diana, and rendered 'desperate by tho
rods of their slave property, is an ab?
surdity on its face, into Which the Mexi?
can Minister could only have been lea
^.y ignorance of this part of Texas. In
the first iplace, thore were never any I

captured, nor is there known to be a

these charges.

Washington, April 10.--Growing out
? f tho ndd upon Bagdad, Mexico, in
1800, there are 108 Mexican claims
against the United States, and twelve'
American claims against Mexico-the
latter brought by American citizens who
were doing business in Bagdad. Tho
American Commissioner claims that the
raiders were invited by Mexico and com?
manded by Mexican officers, to drive the
Imperialists from Bagdad, and flushed
with success, sacked the town, and that
the United States troops wore sent across
to preserve order. The Mexican Com?
missioner claims that the United States
soldiers did the sacking, and that the
United States is responsible. A test case
has been submitted to Sir Edward
Thornton, upon which all the claims I
will turn. Sir Edward will give his de?
cision as umpire in a few days.

until very recently, it never f?dt the want
of one. But last week a real, bouncing
criminal invaded its innocence. He was
soon stopped in his mad career -arrested,
in short. Not having any jail, the County
authorities confined him in u shaft 200
feet in depth. He was hoisted to the
surface three times a day, and given his
