Additional Particulars of the Great Flood— Thirty-seven Persons Drowned or Missing from Ellicott City and Six from Baltimore. BALTimorE, July 26, 1863, The number of persons missing and drowned from Ellicott City, as received at the offices of the city papers to-night, reaches thirty-seven. The number of drowned and missing in Baltimore city is six. The long bridge spanning the Patapsco from the foot of Light street to the Anne Arundel shore is blocked up with the débris of the flood. The river surface for several acres is jammed with the wrecks of over thirty houses, all kinds of movables, factory fixtures, boilers, parts of engines and every species of property. Nearly two hundred baies of cotton have been taken out of the mass. ‘The railroad track through Pratt street has been repsired, and the passenger cars of the through trains from Washington to the North pass through the city. Thousands visited the flooded district to- day. lany steamers were at work pumping the water from the cellars, and a heavy force of work- men and carts are employed cleaning up the mud and drift from the markets and streets. On the flats below the Relay House eight dead bodies were recovered to-day and nine yesterday, most of which were recogn! yy their friends and relatives from Ellicott City. The bodies were of persons from four to sixty years of age, and stripped of every particle of clothing. Inquests are held on the bodies as soon as they are found. They are all taken to Ellicott City for interment. INDIANA.

CINCINNATI, July 26, 1868, In the middle of last week three men, as will be recollected, named Clifton, Elliott and Resberry, were arrested by the people of Jackson county, Indiana, chargea with robbing or attempting to rob the Adams Express car, and almost immediately subsequent thereto—first confessing toa number of merdera and robberies—were hanged until they were dead upon a tree near the village of Seymour. On Friday three others of the gang, named Sparks, Moore and Jewell, were arrested at Mattoon, Coles county, Ill.,and conveyed to Seymour at half-past ten o’clock on Saturday night. Ingjthe custody of the Sheriff of Jackson county and surrounded by a strong guard, the prisoners, securely placed in a wagon, were moved towards Brownstown. When the cortége arrived near the vicinity where Clifton, Eliott and Resberry were —, the wagon was suddenly surrounded by about one hundred and fifty armed men, all of whom were masked. The wagon and hung. bodies were still hanging on the same tree where the others had been hung.

Another man, named Patrick Madden, who was im comprny with Canavan, received a terrthie gash iu the abdomen, from which the bowels protrude. Roche was soon seized by Deputy Sherif Jaws Evener, and, togethergwith the wounded men, was conveyed before Justice Du Puget, at the Kiysian Fields, Tne Justice, seeing that both men .were sinking fast, took the deposition of Madden; but Canavan was unable to attera word. Themen were than conveyed to St. Mary’s Hospital, bat, notwith- scanding all that medical aid could effect, as § lly sank, and at eleven o'clock last night bot! men were on the point of death. Lawrence G. Lawler deposed:—I am a constable of Weehawken township; saw adisturbauceyesterday af- ternoon at Roche’s tavern and started for it; a boy inet me and told me to Roy up, that Eveuer was in trouble aud that they were killing gacn other; I started to ran and when about fifty feet from Koche’s | met @ maa with his bowels hanging out and two men lead. ing him along; on getting to the house I found Mich- wel Kocie in the custody of the oiicer, who told me vo take Charge of tne wounded men and keep the crowd off; I placed the wounded men in a car and conveyed them to St. Mary’s Hospital. ‘Thomas Kavanagh deposed that he went between Roche and the other men tn order to make peace, when he received a stab in the hip, but was unable vo swear by whom the stab was inticted, The stad, which was inflicted laterally, cut through the pants two lacheg across and left only a slight desh wound, DEPOSITION OF PATRICK MADDEN. One of the wounded men, Patrick Madden, deposed that he was stabbed by Michael Roche at a place called Lossburg, Hudson county. The prisoner was here confronted with the dying man, and the latter identitied him as the man who inflicted the wound. TESTIMONY OF SEVERAL WITNESSES. James Evener deposed as follows:—I am Deputy Sheviif; yesterday afternoon saw six men leave the Roman Cottage aud go into Koche’s tavern; when Roche saw thea coming he took an adze and said, “fhe first one that comes in 1 will knock down With this;’ aiter they got mside Roche dropped the adze and took a chisel and stabbed one of the men, whose name, | think, is Henry Canavan, within the house; Roche then followed the men out and stabbed anowier, whose name is Patrick Madden, in the _ bowels; I then arrested Roche, © Matthew Madden testified—I live at Wilber, N. Y and work for the Delaware and Hudson Canal Co! pany; yesterday afternoon I went ito Sullivan's und then went into Roman Cottage; where we had some beer; we went from that place to Roche’s tavern; I saw Roche take a ville and bayonet and ureaten Canavan’s life; I took a bludgeon out of oche’s band and told him I was not going to strike him, but was trying to keep peace; I then left the house and I saw nothing more till | saw my brother, Patrick Madden, lying in the street with his bowels out. STATEMENT OF THE PRISONER. Justice Du Puget having completed the testimony informed the prisoner that he was at liberty to make @ statement if he desired, but cautioned him that any- thing he would say might be used in evidence against him. Roche then said, “I am a wheelwright and blacksmith; these men came to my house last night peroris }and threatened me; I inflicted the wounds in -defence; that’s all I’ve got to say. Judge, won't you take bail?’ ‘To this question the. Justice gave a prompt denial, and transferred Roche to the custody of Coroner White, who will hold an in- quest to day. ¥ APPEARANCE OF THE PRISONER. While the testimony was being taken Roche was somewhat excited and was under the influence of liquor. He interrupted the proceedings einen ny, by irrelevant and incoherent remarks, occasional, observing, ‘These men wanted to kill me, they did.” His hands and face were besmeared with clotted biood, and a linen duster which he wore was also bespattered with gore. The sight and sinell of blood seemed to fan the flame of excitement. Taken altogether, he presented a ferocious and hideous appearance. He flung his hands carelessly around, daubed the desk and documents of the Justice re- peatedly with blood, and gazed on everybody with an unquailing eye. He 1s about forty years of age, of low stature, but thick set and heavily propor- tioned. While at ordinary times no wicked or mis- chievous tendency could be detected in his counte- nance, the muscular development of the jaws and chin ,added to his thick wedged lips, too plainly reveal the animal propensities lurking beneath. Of his antecedents various accounts are given, but i would not be fair to the unfortunate man to men- tion them on this occasion, detrimental as they would prove to his reputation, when his mouth is sealed against reply. AT THE HOBOKEN STATION. At eleven o'clock the prisoner was brought into the Hoboken police station. linmediately on entering he recognized Dr. R. F. Chabert, and said, ‘Doctor, for God’s sake dress my poor hand.” On the hand- cuffs betag removed it was discovered that Koche had sustained a severe cut on the left hand—the thumb being nearly severed. From the appearance of the wound it was judged to have been received while attempting to grasp a knife or other edged weapon. The prisoner was evidently under the in- fluence of liquor, but, not to a stupefying extent. Soon after Roche's arrival at the station another prisoner was brought in, making violent resistance to the police, While attention was directed to the new arrival, Roche, who now had his hands free, suddenly slipped down on all fours, as if with the intention of creeping toward the door while the officers were busy scufling with the other prisoner. The movement bein; received Roche made the lame excuse that he hi jaid down for the purpose of going to slecp. It is needless to say that he was very closely watched after this. Being Santee as to the weapons he had used to defend himself, Roche replied:—*'l took a chisel and an adze.” Mattlew Madden, brother of the man who is supposed to be mortally wounded, was brought to the station as a witness; he was very much intoxicated and soon went fast asleep: Roche is a tuick set, powerfully built man, somewhat under the medium height; his countenance is repulsive in the extreme. he continually reiterated that what he had done had been in self defence, AT THE HOSPITAL. The wounded men were placed in the same room at St. Mary’s Hospital, corner of Wilson and Fourth streets, Hoboken. At twelve o'clock last night Patrice Madden, whose wound is de- acribed as two inches long, three inches to the left of the median line, half way between the pubis and the navel, was sinking fast, and it was expected that he could not ibly survive till morning. Madden was altogether unconscious. Henry Cana- van, the other victim, is woumded tn the left margin of the left armpit, the wound betng, as near as could be ascertained, about five inches deep. Canavan resides at Scranton, and was employed on the Lacka- wanna Railroad. He has been dissipating for the last Month. Although in great agony he repeatedly muttered threats of “being even with the villain yet.” Both Madden and Canavan are young men, neither of them being apparently over twenty-six years of age. Hoboken. Svictpz.—A man named Charles Buckner, residing in Hill street, West Hoboken, committed suicide last evening by hanging himself with a strong cord. When the inmates of the house went to his room they found him quite dead. Commanipaw. Tas Stock Yarvs.—During the past week 168 cars arrived at the stock yards, containing 1,728 cattie, ae hogs, = sheep and 104 horses. There were slaughtered during the same time 417 cattle, 4,700 hogs aud 4,300 sheep, Paterson. Firg.—A fire occurred about three o'clock Satur- day morning in the lime storehouse of Mr. Thomas Beveridge’s lumber yard, adjoining the raiiroad track. The fire was caused by the overflowing of the gutters en | the heavy showers, the water running under ans ap the lime, from which the flames were generated. About fifteen hundred bar- rela of lime and several thousand feet of lumber were cee involving a loss of about $6,000, which ts fully covered by insurance, principally in Hartford companies. THe HEAVY STORM on Friday night caused a great deal of damage. The amount which fell during the night was three and a half inches and overflowed the several brooks which course through the cit; from Garret Mountain, completely flooding the cel- lars of all the houses in their vicinity. The scaffold- ing and some $600 worth of lumber were washed from the new bi age being built over the river at Straight street. Much dami ‘was also done to the new sewers being built @ portion of the city, A break occurred in out four or five miles of water before the gates coul be closed; but fortunately the rushing torrent en- countered no bulidings in its course, or the damage might have been more serious. DRATH OF A TBXAN Drs of the killing of Dodd are given in a letter written from that neighborhood :—T notorious Dodd was killed by Jack Wright and his cousin Wright at Mr. Weils' house, nine miles from Gonzales, on the 26th of June.

A generous breeze was blowing and the sun shone as if a thin veil obscured its bright- ness and shielded poor humanity from the more heated rays which would otherwise have been expe- rienced. It was a grateful day for those who, locked up in the city for the six days previous, felt desir- ous of leaving the streets and thoroughfares and seeking amid the shady groves or on the placid waters afew hours’ generous recreation. The old as well as the young welcomed Sunday in. They anticipated the pleasures it would bring. Little ones clapped their hands tu glee and made the house merry with their gladness when told to hurry up and come along; and parents looked smiling on their happy children as they hastened to catch the boat or the car that was to convey them countrywards. And the journey out was not the least enjoyment the trip afforded. Everything worthy of notice caught the eye and was commented on. Smiling gardens tn front of cosey little cottages, dotting the line of travel, were everywhere to be seen, and tne air of comfort that seemed to linger around them spoke of the contentment that reigned within. Over the Meadow, through the moorland, across the marshes cars passed laden with young and old hieing away to the shade of the woods, Or along the shores of the Sound, up the Hudson, and down the bay, plea- sure seekers drank in the pure and invigorating at- mosphere which was denied them in the city. Well may New York be proud of her surroundings, and her people feel thankful that at a comparatively small outlay even the most humble can enjoy them- selves amidst the beauties which nature las so lavishly bestowed upon her suburbs, and By flowing stream, through wood, or craggy wild ‘The mind has scope to range ‘among her own Her thoughts, her images, her high desires. UP THE HUDSON. . “All aboard! Cast off that line there! Haul in the the gang plank!" were the words hoarsely sung out yesterday morning on some of the North river, piers by sundry gray-whiskered and grizzly, though jolly and jaunty, steamboat commanders, and with an accompaniment of slamming of gang planks, splashing of hawsers, whizzing of steam, screaming of whistles and clangor of bells, a bevy of excur- sions “up the Hudson” were tnaugurated, while avery large proportion of Metropolitans were in- dulging in the frequently indulged in? lengthened Sunday morning “snooze.” A light mist nung over the broad surface of the Hudson, yellowing with a warm tinge of sunlight peering over Bergen heights, while the waters of the river, rippl ig gently in the cool morning air, were flecked wit shimmering tints of silver and steel that seemed stolen from the scaly armor of the finny tribes be- neath. The flanges of the steamer’s wheels buf- feted its ripples into billows, and the vessels’ prows spurned the metallic lustred water with a vigor that sent it spouting away in curves of blancl and fleecy spray. So with their freights of pleasure and fresh air loving men, women and children, the boats sped away past the D ling walls of the Pal- isades and the emerald slopes of Washington pe Soong with its foliage coroneted crest, until they arriv at YONKERS, one of the most beautiful of the many beau- tiful riverside towns, and which threatens ere long to annex New York to its suburbs, un- less the metropolis, taking warning of its ay proach, pushes its homesteads more rapidly north- ward and unites the fashionable little retreat to her million of people. The handsome villas of the mer- chant princes of New York rise in terraced beauty from the river’s brink, environed by clusters of beau- tiful trees and shrubbery, while the wood crowned facilities for picknickians. At least New Yorkers think so, and as the puffing steamers swing up be- side the jetty pier the excursionists jog from their decks and disperse in groups along the streets and meander their ways to the greenwood. HASTINGS, not the strand on which Harold “bit the dust” and relinquished forever the sovereignty of a kii jom, but “Hastings on the Hudson,” is néxt reached, aud a few frowsy headed, rustic youngsters, dangling their bare and ruddy feet over the end of the green slimned wharf, welcome the visitors, who pour into the village on the Sabbath in larger numbers than during the whole week besides, and pilot them my the steep, gray road which leads over the wood bluff that smiles gratefully on the river below. Hav- ing seen their metropolitan friends safely on shore, and believing ther to be able to take care of them- selves, the steamers “head away” for RVINGTON, another fashionable résort of wealthy metropolitans, which is reached in its due course. This little place seems to have taken Yonkers as the model for its own growth and culture, and pretty residences crop out in ruaset, white and ochred embellishments, forming a beautiful contrast to the deep green foliage in which they are nestled, Steamboat excursionists seem to be people of decided!y good tastes, for a goodly crowd drop off here trom the various ves- sels and straggle away at once along the rock- encrusted aud willow-fringed beach, where clusters of children under the escort of city nurses may be seen at intervals, and heard too, as they scamper in playsome frolic through the woods or along the river's edge. SING SING, the Involuntary “home” of so many aching hearts and brains that have tn solitary communion with themselves realized that ‘the way of the transgressor is hard,” is singularly enough chosen by many as the place of their Sabbath recreation. As the vessels near the white walls of the prison the decks ars fringed with rows of wonderingly curious faces peer- ing earnestly as though they fain would look through the narrow grated windows and within the walls that are full of human misery. These inquisitive faces of serious looking men and thoughttul women and maidens are changed and glisten with auticipa- tion of pleasure as the boats near the pier, and ina few moments they are all bustling over the hill, leav- ing behin¢’ the prison and the gad reflections to which it had given birth. COZZENS’ LANDING, on the bluff west bank, a few hundred yards only from the cradie of the art of war, historic West Point, i reached, and of course a large number of all ages and both sexes rush on shure and ascend pak mood dusty road that creeps up the wail of wooded rock that frowns on the river at its base. The view that is obtained from the summit of the cliff is wor the effort of — it, every rock, mound and dell within the rai vision being en- wrapt in the revered history of the birth of the na- tion and the of the men of the Revolution, and suilied only by its association with the name of the traitor Arnold and a@ feeling of commuseration for the unfortunate Andre.

DOWN THE BAY. ‘The fleet little steamer Sea bird made a very satis- factory tight to Red Bank yesterday, touching at sone haifa dozen intermediate points for the pur- pose of landing detachments of excursionists. On caving tue pier at the foot of Chambers street, at eicut A, M., the decks and saloons of the Sea Bird were literatly crowded with passengers, among wiiom were to be recognized specimens of almost every class and race of the much mixed population of this intensely cosmopolitan city, One or two moderately aristocratic little persice of ladies and gentlemen, who were gracefully occupying the best seats in the saloon, were on their way to Long Branch, having selected this rather round about route for tie purpose of enjoying the delights of the charming drive from Red Bank, and other little par- ties, fantily and otherwise, not quite so aristocr: in appearance or fashionable in their attire, but doubtless quite as respectable, were destined for one or other of the many pleasant places at which the Sea bird was to touch on the way, and the balance were bound for Red Bank itself—the Ultina Thule of the voyage. Dudheen in mouth, honest Pat the pavior reciined on a coil of rope on the “for'ard deck,” blissfully oblivious of that interminable Broadway job at which the poor fellow poms 80 freely to-day, and by his side sat an jndustrious looking fellow citizen of the Teutonic rsuasion, quietly philosophizing over iis much loved china bow! or imitation meer- schaum, While theirrespective olive branches romped to and fro under the superintendence o/ their ma ternal relatives, Strolling round the upper deck one came across a lively group of Frenchmen busily en- gaged arguing the much vexed question as te why the present ruler of France is called Napoleon III.; in another place a handtul of sallow complexioned Spaniards were smoking cigarettes; further on, in dignitled reserve, sat a burly, beef-eating, apoplectic looking Britisher, and sprinkled here and there were foreigners of doubtful nationality and sundry mem- bers of the dark and dominant race; The first point touched at was SANDY HOOK, but as no one of the passengers wanted to get off and none of the natives wanted to get on the Sea Bird only uttered off the pier a second or so and then winged her flight toward the pe ag ee High- lands, The day being bright and clear, the water a3 smooth as the proverbial mil! pond, and a cool aud gentile breeze prevailing, the run through the Nar- rows and along the Jersey shore, winding in and out between the beautifully wooded banks, was delight- ful in the extreme, Arrived at THOMPSON'S LANDING, Which seems to be quite a favorite resort, the Sea Bird landed a detacnment large enough to fill a medium sized hotel, and, taking on board one or two of the inhabitants of this charming locality, probably as hostages to insure the safe treatment of the pas- sengers who had just disembarked, continued on her voyage to PORT WASHINGTON, where some half a dozen excursionists were sent ashore as specimens ‘to be left until called for" on the return trip, in order to impress dwellers on that sweet seclud ae with the respectability of the balance on board. An equal number of equally pre- mea and creditable passengers were disgorged a FAIR HAVEN, pyvet of equal distribution of favors to the hotel keepers, and with the laudable purpose of prevent- ing — jealousies, and then away sped the Sea RED BANK, where the balance of her passengers were safely deposited. Having amused themselves u thought proper the excursionists made their wa) he vessel, and tn due time the Sea Bi made her way back to the city and landed her treight in excellent condition. WESTCHESTER COUNTY received its share of the refugees from the excise dominions, and through the many parks and gar- dens and hosteiries in the hallowea land over against Harlem, where spiritual comfort ts adminis- tered to thirsty mortals, crowds might be seen, “from early morn till dewy eve," quamMing the bead brewing of the followers of Gambrinus and enjoy- ing the téte over mounds of solid, sus- tenance-imparting viands. ‘To reach this Mecca ana escape from the streets which are aMicted with so much Whiting that the residents are almost blinded by the brilliant glistening of the cobble stones, three modes of eee are readily accessible—by boat from Peck Slip, by the Third avenue horse cars and the Hariem railroad. Those who feel no timidity in trusting to the navigation of the East river, and who have no vivid recollection of the late peculiar Soa poe of Providence in the wheelhouse of one of the Harlem boats, may hoy aboard a low-guarded tuglike arrangement and sail up the East river past the institutions, in which a maiority of steamboat and railroad directors deserve free lodgings, toss along through the little Hellgate and land on the dirty, dusty, unprotected wharfs at Harlem. Those who wish to have the worth of their money out of the railroad men may take @ seat (if they can get it) in a Third avenue car, and be amused and edified by the squallings of “old-young” Teutons Ci Children of Israel, and admire the eS the stout party on the opposite seat who will keep his «knees wide apart while he Jeans on a heavy stick with one hand and persever- ingly fans himself with the other with bis broad briuimed Panama hat and who “cawnt see why hon hearth they will crowd the cars #0," and ‘why these wimmen with babies cawnt stop at 'ome.”’ ‘il- ing the time ag much as possible by such means as the above Harlem may be reached in about one hour and a half from the City Hall, and the cram, and crusty tourists may mingle with the crowd landed from the boat and wend their way across the bridge which has been so generously placed at their dis- posal by the diaimterested Supervisors of the two counties, Those who like to make the trip in shorter time, at the risk of swallowing chunks of hot carbon and of accumulating dust heaps that would add tuamensely to the wealth of “Boftin's Bower,” may take the Har- Jem Railroad in the morning and whiz along through tunnels and cuts, past the “deestreak" where those “sunken lots,” that annoy the city fathers 80 much, abound, and up through Harlem aod across the trestle bridge into MOTT HAVEN, 8 miserable little place, composed of lager beer shops, lumber yards, steelworks and swamps. Very few have friends here, and it is made only a temporary pe fn! place by the voyagers who come by boat and horse cars, while they await the arrival of the cara which take them further away from the grasp of “the odious law.” MELROSE is buta short distance be) ond the former village, and but little better in the way of appointments, Some few thirsty tongues may prompt their possessors to stop here who otherwise would go alicad with the larger crowd to MORRISANIA, where almost every other resident has a lager beer brewery or the fever and ague, and o!tentimes both. In this thriving tow: the amount of amber liquid demolished every Sunday is immense, There are several large parks on the style of Jones’ Wood in former years, and nuimberless email fry ‘“bier- hausen.” And the hardy traveller is met at every side with lager beer sweitzer and limburgec id occasional! smells, ant @ glimpse of a neat little cottage, Rape AE nay some trees as if seeking protection from the lager, cheese and chilis.
