Mr. Dorland is a plain, intelligent Jooking man, and gives his testimody com- posedly and with great calmness and fairness, and with- out beeitation or reserve ) J Jentified Harden’s letters to himeelf and daughter; when I went to Rameey’s [ toid Harden I doubted that the funeral would take place to- day; he asked why; I told him there was something wrong about his wifes death, and there was no use bury- ing her till it was found out; he said, with some little cau- fasion, “What troable I must have!: Now yoa see whst a dilemma Iam in. Why, sir, she might have caughtsome thing and taken it herself, Dr. Blackwell told me thet fia, meay 4 might be the cause of her death;’’ he took out ig handkerchief and began crying; then I sent Mr. Ram- sey for the dostors and the Justice.

Aifistadly yours, J. 8, HARDEN. The following letter was also read by Mr. Robeson:— $ ANDERSON, March 10, 1859. Dear Fatmer—In the ssme envelope you will find a let- ter from Dr. Blackwell. He left here last night at cark. Ho told me that if he had had more time he could have written plainer; but if you did not feel satisfied af- ter reading hig letter, that you should come that way to the funeral and he thought that he could make it satisfas- tory to your mind. If this does not satisfy you, will you not come over as soon you get this? Ho said that there were several probable causes of her death; as to which one had caused it, he could not tell. Please to writea note and send it back with the bearer of this, if you have any word to communicate. Your afflicted son, J. 8. HARDEN.

At Conzcleville, the Youghiogheny attained a stage higher than apy recollected by Oldest ighabitant. The bridge was carried away and much damage done. It was built in 3832, and cost $7,000. The railroad bridge over Dunbar creek, and one or two others of less import- ance, were 20 pt away, with some three or four saw- mills, and a large amount of lumber. A loaded coke bot Ddelonging to Mr. Hill, was carried from its moorings &! Swept away with the current. The Fayette County Rail- road was very much datnaged, and it will take ¢everal days to put ii imrunning order. Joho Wati, of Connells. ville, had @ vatuable cow ewept away, and at Overton ‘wome $8,000 worth of whiskey, and a number of hogs were carried off. At Brownsville several new steamboats Were raised off the etocke, and a great deal of Inmber swept from the different yards. The aam at Clement's millon the Redstone, was washed away, aud several others injured. At West Newton, Markle’s paper mill was filled to the second ticor, and Plummer’s grist mill to the third floor. Preparations were mae in due time, and everything but themachinery removed The stores aud dwellings in different parts of the town were flooded and much da- mage done. At Newcastle, the Neshannock {was very high, anda considerable exten} of ground overflowed. The old tow path bridge, which had to be raised to let the boats pass underneath, gave way while three horses and two men and a boy were crossing it, precipitating all into tho angry flood beneath. The two men were easily rescued, ‘Dut it was with great difficulty that the boy, a courageous youth of some eight years, was eaved. Tite horses swam ashore unhurt. Falston, Beaver county, was almost en- tirely submerged. A large frame building owned by Merrick & Co., was raised from its foundation, and be open at one end, its contents, embracing a large lot tubs, buckets, Xc., floated freely into the river and were carried away by the angry flood. The webs baa to be re- moved from the looms of Wilde's shaw) factory, the walls of which,were undermined. Bridgewater, in the same neighborhood, and the greater part of Rochester, were algo flooded and more or less dam- ed, tthe bridge at Ramaey’s Mills, Washington county, was carried away by the unprecedentedly high water in the Chartiers, the road iseelf badly damaged in many places, fences carried off, spring grainy flel@s swept out, &c. Haviin’s bridge, five miles east of Washington, has been swept from abutments, although the timbers, it is stated, are saved. No such flood has been seen ‘there within the recollection of the oldest inhabitant. Below this, on the same Stream, considerable damage was done by the sweeping away of teuces and overflowing of bot- tom lands, including those of Messrs. Myers, Camp, Da- ger, Wier and Vankirk. The dam at Lacock’s sew mill, some three miles from Washington, gave way on Tues- day, letting out an immense volume of water, which did serious damage to the farms extending down the North Fork of Ten Mile. Down below Pleasant Valley church, frame store room, occupied by Hiram D. Enock, was started from its foundation and carried some distance, an A a sie ager can 1¢ Wheeling (Va.) papers cont {tional particu- lars. At Wheeling the water was 80 high that many of the inhabitants ot what is called the ‘‘Island’’ were forced to desert their houses. Skiffe, yawls, fiat boats and rafts were common on many of the etrests. Regular lines of amati boats were running upon some of the streets, and each passenger was charged five conts, Lagrange, Welle- burg and al! the towns above the city are deserted, the water is running through them at a and - ing rate. A number of the poet, came cars asfaras Lagrange, and could come no reached here yesterday in a skiff. They report ig no estimating the damage done to the Ohio, At range there are trains collected, and good many water bound passenge! are offering fabulous sums to get away. In Wheeling the gas pipes became filled with water; the streets were at night as dark as possible. The water works were aleo compelled to csase operations. On Tuesday morning the water was ruoniog all over the island, and hundreds of people are quitting their and batimerse SS! Lae tn anticipation of a still greater rise. The 2ension Bridge was crowded from daylight until late Inthe day by wi 5 en gy Ml gees in. A t ned the chty yemerdat abet ee rain. 'A report reac city yesterday morning, the steamer Emma Graham, that « house in % short distance above the city, had been washed away, and that five persons were drowned. an English fami- ly. tenors, oe a father, mother and four chilitren, liv- ing on Deep Run, about six miles above the city, were swept away on Tuesday, during the storm, and all perished but one. All along the Obio river groat demmga was dore by the flood. It in estimated that the damaze done to the public works, such as railways, capala, &c,, will reach $60,0¢0. From the Columbus (Ohio) Journal, of Wednesday, we Tearn as lollows:—About thirty fect of the track of the Columbus and Xenia Raliroad, three miles from the city, washed away night before last, immediately after the nine o’clock train had passed over it. The water surged through the breach at «fearful rate, and would have done further damage but for the prompt exertions of the officers of the road after the accident was known. On the Central Odio Railroad the freshet has been ex tremely disastrous. Beside the brakes, the tressel. work seven miles from this city was broken. Some distance beyond this sixty feet of tressel-work is} gone; aad near Kirkersyille one hundred feet of the same kind of track was washed away. Beyond Newark it is said the track is covered with water for miles. The train on this roed, which left here Tuesday morning, was compelled to re- turn. On the Steubenville and Jadiana road, five hua- dred feet of the track at Adam’s Mills was very much damaged dy the bursting of the canal bank. The trains ‘on this road wore also stopped by an immense land-slide near Hanover. The Lafayette (Ind.) Courier of the 11th inst., says that a farmer named Reed, while attempting to ford Wea Creek a'ter dark last evening with two horace and a lar, farm wagon, in which himeelf,a relative, and two chil. dren were seated, was swept down by the force of the abEes Hight # current, and the entire party was drowned, . Quite a serious break ocourred in the Wabash and Erie Canal, near Durgy’s run, this side of Holabiri & Co.’s distillery, on Monday night last, which will put the opening of navigation off for about ten days. It ie supposed that some malicious person fi:st made a cutin the embankment, and the heavy rains had the effest of widening the breach, which is’ now nearly seventy feet long and twenty-five feet deep.

(13 ) Reply of the Gemeral Agent ef the Press to the Executive Committee. In order that the several parties interested may arrive at a proper undersianding of the controversy which has arisen between the American Telegraph Company and the Eastern press, it is thought proper to explain the origia of the prets arrangements which have existed during tho past six or seven years, and which have given to all par- ‘ties excellent satisfaction. In 1858 there were three telegraph lincs between New York and Boston—the Morse, Bain and House. At about’ this time some of the parties now concerned in the Ame- rican Company, with others, conceived the ides of bring- ing about a consolidation of lines or a moropoly of tele. graphing between the two cities, under the name ef the New York and New England Union Telegraph Company. The House line, then @ very insignificant affair, was not regarded by the Morse and Bain parties as of sufficient importance to warrant them in bringing ft inte their mo- nopoly concern, ard this circumstance gave the friendsof the preesa chance to secure that line asa competing channel of communication between the two cities. ‘Thereupon the Union Telegraph Company appointed a committee to wait upon the Associated Prees of this city with a tender of their wires for Siva or more years, for the Prom}t transmigsion of all prees businees from or to Bos- ton, with drop copies at intermediate stations, fer ono” quarter of one cént per word. The rucmbers of the Aseociated Press deemed it unwise for their own; or the Interests of the public, to aid the evident.intentione of the Uniqn Company to crush out the ‘House line, and chey therefore rejected unanimeualy the overtures of the monopolists, and at the eametime au- thorized their general agent to close an agreement with the manager of the House line, by the terms of which it was to be rebuilt, and to be worked as « competing line. ‘The aneociation agreed to pay full rates for all news re- ceived from the Kast, and algo to give to the line the en- tire revenue, (less only a:tual rent, of exp for si Teports, .&c.,) ' whieh and fede the use of the association’s very expensive safe to affirm that ‘since 1868, the New York Associated ” Press have contributed (beyond what they need to have done had 1] felt disposed to favor the views Union manopalias) a eet ait eight ‘ocean, aes i See aren of bey which im 1863, which adoption of 9 ews reporting ar- Tapgement between New York and Boston, which ar din force till sbout 1856, when the approved of the same, and even exiended increased fa- cilities to the press. Towards the close of 1859, Mr. Alden and his then as- focistes conceived the idea of consolidating their lines » bruins peri Magnatio ana ee nes between New Orleans jova Scotia, and Press, upon the assurances of Alden ‘and his then ahd thet the rates to the prees and the public should not be. raised, but, on the contrary, should be, at the earliest. practicable moment, reduced; that a better class of lines should be built, and more reliable operatives should be employed, and the whole system of business be im- . Relying, say, upon these assurances of Aldea and bis then associates, the and the public were induced to look with favor upon the y= posed cont eolidation.
