We give liberal extracts from an exira of the Jamestown Journal, published on Sunday and de- tailing the facts of @ fearful crime committed in that village. it was on Wednesday of last week that a man named William Bachmann was murdered in the vault of the brewery, and his body, while warm, was thrast into alarge arch or furnace and con- sumed. The suspected parties have been arrested and are about to undergo a judicial investigation. ‘The name of the supposed murderer 1s Carl Mariow- The Journal says:—The main facts in the matter, as we are informed, are as follows:— Mr. Willlam Lachmann, of Toledo, Ohio, came to Jamestown early last week. He was a German, has Q& son-in-law who resides at Sinclearvilie, aud claimed to nave $6,000 in money. He negotiated for the purchase of a saloon and other property and olfered to pay down $1,500, Carl Marlow has for two years kept the brewery just north of this village. Mis family, all of whom bre now under arrest, consists of himself, his wife, | 1 of fifwen years of age, @ small boy and a aby, and an old lady, the mother of Mrs, Marlow, ariow hiss had the reputation of an industrious man, thongh there has been an occasional row at rewery. . iiniam jodinski 1s @ Polander, who talks some German, but cot so as to be general, understood by them, abd has no knowledge of English, is a young man, untnurried, and has mm at work for Marlow fous little ame a3 a teamster and help about the wel rewery. Upon the following facts, as stated by Bodineki, the arrest has been mad a Bodinski commenced work for Marlow four weeks o Saturday. He frst saw Bachmann on ‘tuesday ut noon, or after Bachmann was at the brewery and bought a glasé of beer. At eleven P. M. he came back again aud knocked at the door. Marlow got up and let nim tn, lita ight and came up stairs itn him to Bodinskt’s room and pur the 6 ranger into Bodinski’s bed, Marlow remained with the light until Bachmann had undressed and got tato bed. At breakfast Meriow said this stranger (Bach- mann) claimed to have $6,000 1n mmanay end wanted me to take care of lus wallet during the night, but said he told him to take care of his own money and refused to take it, Kodinaki repiied, jokingly, per- haps he meant $6, and not $6,000. Marlow sud, “4 ui going to town this morning, and I will find ou Whether he has any money or not.” Alter breakfast Marlow took the team and hauled somé beer to town, and about eleven A. M. came back, with Bachmann with him in the wagon. They stopped by the brew house door. Both came in, and Marlow said, this man talks Polish, and Bachmann said afew words to Bodinski in that lan- guage, but did not talk it Ha A well, After they came in the stranger took off ils coat and hat, and laid them on a trunk in the brew house. In a Tew minotes they went through into the dining or drink- Ing room and the stranger took his hat and coat with Dim, and hung his coat on a chair and put his hat on thetable. He and Mariow had a glass of beer, and Bodinskt went out of the brewery. After a while he came back and found all the doors open, including the double trap door to the cellar, and he heard the stranger and Mariow talking in the cellar, The stranger's coat was still on the chair, and the bat on the table, and also two glasses of beer partly full, Bodinski went out azain be- hind the house, and sawed wood for a few Minutes and again returned to the brew house, The stranger's hat and coat were still as before, the doors were open and he heard, con- versation in the cellar. Aitera few muiments he again went out and after awnile returned. ‘This time he found the dors closed. He went mto the drinking room aad mp to the trap door, which was down, und stood a momcnt and listened. He then neard the report of a revolver. He was badly frightened, but went out again, and after awhile returned. Just as he came in Marlow opened the cellar door and came up from below. Bodinskt says there was a large clot of biood on his forehead, aud several spots of olood on hts boots, ce the evening they went invo the brew house. ‘here WaS & great heat, so that it was hardly pos- sible 0 remaim about the kettle, The water was nearly all out, and the fire was entirely out; but to all appearances there had been a great fire, Bo- dinski remained at the brewery that nigat, but was very much atraid, ‘Ihe next morning he and Marlow went down cellar again to fix up some beer to take to town. Marlow filied the kegs and Bodinski carried dowa the empty kegs and brought up the full ones. While at work m tle cellar Marlow said the stranger did not have any money aud did noi pay for the beer he drank yesterday, and that he gave his little girl ive cents, which, he thought, was ail the money he had. While in the collar Bodinski noticed things had been changed and seemed out of piace, and when Marlow had goae to town he took @ ligut and made an examination. It 80 happened that Mr. 0, E. Jones, of this village, happened to be at Dunkirk when the police were investigating the matter, and at their request he came with Bodiaski to Jamestown, and with the police of this place commenced a diligent search of the brewery premices, Upon an exainination of the arch, which is of brick, about 3),X5 fect inside aud with an opening 14gx1 foot, ine ashes appeared to have been removed @nd a quantity of chips irom the door yard thrown 1u and spread all avout, Upon inquirtng of a swede man at work at the brewery it was found fires had been in the arch on Weanesday. Tne midaie of the furnace was floored with grates so that the asnes would fall through, but upon the sides the floor js brick. Upon three sides the ashes had not been all removed. A diligent search among the aslies disiosed several pieves of In Berlin, | bone, and upon tie left hand side of the aoor were found a part of the lower arm, contain- ing the elbow socket complete. ‘his, ve- yond question, is haman remains, The next Imorning (Sunjay) examination was had.

On top of the celiar stairs 15 @ trace of blood aud the bottom of the arch enhirance is stained asif with drippings or sume kind, A barrel or keg Was found near the house containing ashes, and upon slung them a large quanuty of bones were found, Small pieces of oman skull, end of finger bones, tue boues, &c.; cise fiitean human teeth, lwo ivory bosom studs, o! | a similar make to thos¢ worn by Bachmann; three Vest battons, one vest buckle and eyelet and ring, and boot or shoe nails, a five cent nickel and a piece of silver or lead, meted. There was also found in eee a large clot of blood, contaluug a portion 1 brains. + MATRIMONIAL MADNESS, A Respectable Mau Attempting to Drown His Child aad Destroy Himself in the East River Yester: Misery a Poverty the C The uncertaioty of events touching the matrimos nial state, of its joys and sorrows, Its advantages and disappoimtments, were testified to in a singu- larly painful manner before Judge Dowilng yester lay morning. Andrew Coyle, a wild-looking, tolcrably well dressed man, who retained unmistakable evie dences of having seen better days, was brought into the Tombs charged with attempting to drown his son, aged seven years and seven months, and of attempting to commit suicide by throwing himself on to the body of the child. Nine years ago Andrew was a young man in good circumstances, and held a good position in @ large business house in Unis city. He married when very young to a young lady, Who promised well as hts future partner in life, and they commenced life together appar- ently with the best of intentions toward the world and toward eacn other, As years rolled on the old story of .coldness, estrangement and bickering applied in their case, and matters proved that mat- rimony was not so blissful asit might have been, A Jew months ego Audrew was discharged from the Position he had held for so jong a time, and, having indulged somewhat too freely in the cup that ine- briates while 1t does not coinfort, and lived quite up to his income, he now found himself in an awkward and unenviabie position, WITHOUT BUSINESS, MONEY OR A TOME, and with a partner to whom, from some cause, he could not confide his cares or apply for sympatby. He said he travelled about and sought earnestly for another situation similar to the one he had left, but failed to obtain that or anything else, Following upon these trials came a suspicion as to bis wife's constancy, for which he appeared to possess good grounds (unless the man 1s insane and his state- nents the result of aberration of a mind disor dered by trouble), and he resolved that before wiother day should have passed he would destroy his little boy and then commit suicide. For this DUrpoue he arrived at pi rast River yesterday morning aad walked ow he dock with the culld a hisarms. Arriving at the eud of the pier ne 1A SEIZED THE CHILD LY THE © R of his Jacket with one hand and his Jett leg with the other, and delibe ely tirew him as far as he could out into the dock. The next moment he thre Seif on top of the chlid, sending it down uuder the Water, and when it came up again he turned him- self on his back, and stretched out his arms so a8 to cover and keep it under, ‘The child sent opa piercing shriek irom the water when it came to the surface, but the father endeavored to sige him so that Be could not repeat it.

DWWITALIA. Grand Parade in Commemora- tion of Italian Unity. CONVENTION OF THE ITALIAN BROTHERHOOD The vartous Italian societies of the city are busily engaged pushing forward their preparations for the celebration of the 25th in commemoration of the crowning of Itatian unity by the occupation of Most of the men who will appear in our treets, with their flags and triumphal cars, have at some period of their lives engaged in THE STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY that cost so much blood and tears to the Itallan people. It is natural, under these circumstauces, that the feeling of jubilation at the fulfilment of their highest hopes, at a time when many among them had begun to despair, shoula find expression 1n pubite rejoicing. And looking at the importance of the event which they desire to commemorate, it is not surprising that the Italian heart 13 moved by the remembrance of bitter wrongs that have been redressed and with high hopes of the great future that opens out to thelr native land. In connection with the cele- bration of Friday the Socteta D'Unionve @ Fratelianza Italiana hold their annual Convention this year in New York, in order to afford the delegates from the various Statesan opportunity of taking a part in the grand demonstration. ‘The delegates assembled early yesterday marning and at once proceeded to appoint a committee on credentials.

B, Longinotti, Treasurer. When the. organization of the convention was complcteaa committee was appointed to examine into an alleged violation oi the rules of the society by the St. Louis branch of the society. The admission of the Baltimore Italian Benevolent Society into the union was then voted. and, after some conversation relative to Friaay’s demonstration, the delegates adjourned until this morning, when they wil proceed to the transaction of important business, ‘The celebration commitiee have issued invitations to various organizations—German, French, Irish and American—to take part in the parade on Fri- day, and already favorable answers have been re- ceived ‘rom nearly all.

The drapery will be formed by the national fags and the whole will be profusely decorated with flowers, ‘he next car will represent modern Rome, where Italla is on the throne and Rome appears with THE CHAINS THAT BOUND TER ARMS BROKEN. Another car wil! contain one hundred young la- dies, copremetiiing, the one hundred cities of Italy. They will be dressed in costume, and each will bear the flag of the city she represents. A band of Roman cavaiiers, in full costume, will escort each of the triumphal cars, and will lend a good deal of picture:qne contrast to the scene, which promises to be exceedingly brilliant. On Fri- day next the procession will form at Dine o'clock A.

Picking Pockets on the Third Avenue Cars— The Thiet Fo!lowed and Captured by a Lady—He Attempts to Mu:der His Fair Captor. Mr. Horace Barnes and Mrs, Sarah A. Harrington left Harlem on Tuesday night or yesterday morning about half-past twelve. They had been at a sociable party and were procecding toward the Ashiand Ronse, corner of Twenty-fourth street and Fourth avenue, where both parties are at present sojourn- ing. When the car reached Twenty-fourth street Mr, Barnes rang the bell and went tothe rear platform of the car, Mrs. Harrington being ahead of him. in getting off the platform was somewhat crowded, and aman, whose name proved to be George Som- mers, stood in the way and persisted in blocking up the passage, Mr. Barnes, who is a very polite old. gentleman, desired him three times to move out of his way. It was of no use, however, and he had to push through as well as he could, and on to the lower step, where Mra, Harringion was standing. She had noticed the manwuvres of Sommers and two or three others near him, and suddenly cried out “LOOK OUT FOR YOUR WATCH, Mr. Barnes.” Mr. Barnes placed his hand tn his pocket and immediately discovered that his watch, Valued at $260, was gone. It had been wrenched off the ring, and the chain was left hanging. He at olice accused Sommers of taking it. At this time three others jumped off the car, two of them st: to ran up Third avenue, while Sommers, with one spring, Jumped to tne sidewalk and ran toward ‘wenty-chird street. Mr. Barnes followed the two who ran up the avenue, while the lady, keeping her eye well on Sommers, ran after him down Third avenue to Twenty-second street, and through Twen- ty-second street till near Second avenue, where she came up with him . GRABBING HIM RY THE COAT TAIL and holding on with all her strength, she demanded the watch, The only answer she received was the report of @ pistol, for Sommers, turning suddenly around, fired, the ball going over Mrs. Harrington's shoulder and striking @ lamp-post on the other s:de of the way. Oflicer Cotter, of the Eighteenth pre- cyct, Who was stauding on the corner, heard the firing and ran up Twenty-second street. He suc- ceeded in capturing THE WOULD-BR ASSASSIN. He was taken to the station house. On his per- S8on was found a four-barre: pepperbox pistol and bunch of skeleton keys. A dark lantern was also found in an area near py. Sommers Was arraigned before Judge Ledwith, at Essex Market, yesterday morning. Mr. Harnes pre- ferred ® complaint against lim of the lar- cony of his watch, valued at $250. and Mrs. Harrington charged hin with felonious assault and battery, with intent to kil, He Was committed on both charges without bail. Mrs. Harrington, the lady wno behaved so pluckily in the aifuir, 1s @ tall, delicate and interesting looking person. She seemed more,nervous in giving her testimony this morning than she evidently was last evening in the midst of the exctiement. She de- serves the utmost creait Jor her share in tue capture.

A Young Girl Betrayed and Ruined by a Cap- tain of Poliea in Jersey City—Star-Chamber In- vestigation by the Police Commissioners— The Captain Dismissed from the Force— Extraordinary Scenes in Court. The HeRatp has not less than a dozen times during & few months past called attention to the working of the Police Commission in Jersey City— the offspring of Bumsted legislation. Evils have grown up unchecked, giaring offences on the part of officers have been covered up and condoned, the Commissioners have played hutl-fellow-well-met with the captains, sergeants and patrolemen, and the puplic had not only LOST ALL FAITH IN THE BOARD, but had settled down to the conviction that it must be tolerated as an evil which could not be sur- mounted until next November, when the people will have an opportunity to aclect men who will bring the agents of misgovernment to judgment. When Cunnigham the murderer was on trial, & patrolman named Harney actually entered the court and was caught in the act of tampering with the Jury. Judge Bedle imposed a fine upon him, directed him to leave the court, and said that the appoint- Ment of such men on the police force was A DISGRACE TO THE COMMISSION. | It was considered by everybody throughout the city that his expulsion was inevitable after this ree buke from the nench. Acommittee was appointed by the Police Commissioncrs to investigate the case; bat that committee never reported from that day to this, and Harney still wields his club. But tne case of Charles W. Mahon, Captain of the First precinct, so far outstrips and OVERSHADOWS ALL OTHERS ‘im point of depravity that it 1s the only one which engages public attention just now. It appears that on the evening of tne 8th of August Cornelia Green, a young girl, nineteen years of age, who resides with her aunt, Mrs. Griffin (her father and mother being dead), was sent from her residence, No. 19 Newark avenue, Jersey City, by ner aunt, for some milk and mustard. On her way she en- countered Mahon, who descended from the steps of the City Hall and entered into conversation with her, She informed him of her errand and told him that she had tried hora @ Places but could not get the milk. He induced her to go with him to rie street, where he said there was a milk depot just opposite his house. When they arrived at the place he asked her to go into his nouse for afew Minutes, but the girl promptly refused, Then THE ARTIFICE OF THE TEMPTER was brought Into play. “Only for @ few minutes; just come in tl you see what a house I’ve got ‘and "il step right out and get you the miik; just step up,” and while saying these words he took hold of herarm, led her up the stoop, opened the door, closed and Jocked 1%, and the unfortunate, unsus- pecting girl was in THE SERPENT’S COILS. The flendish work of that n:ght will not be here detaiisd. The picture would be too revolting. A night of terror and despair to that poor, forsaken, unprotected orphan girl, with no one near to belp and no avenue of escape, Her friends were not far away, but they could not hear her voice. A hun- dred times the thought flashed across her mind that if trey were only near how sweet would be the de- liverance from the lion’s den. And then the recol- lection that, almost within reach of ald, she was IRRETRIBVABLY RUINED, and Heaven looking down and withloiding its chas- using band from the destroyer drove her to cistrac- ton. Mahon took the precaution to inform her that his wile aud children were hundreds of miles away, and that he was the -sole occupant of the house, 30 that any attempt at alarm on her part would not avail her, This, with the knowledge taat policemen carry revolvers, rendered her POWERLESS IN HIS GRASP, Morning came and she left the house, Mahon fol- lowing her, yet she exchanged not a word witn him. Her uncle and aunt had searched for her in several qearters of the city and had been to the police station, where they gave a description of her, so that when she returned to their house she was at once questioned as to her absence. She had never straye:l away beiore during the night. When asked where she had spent the night she hesitated to Teply. She was pale and sickly, and alter the lapse of an hour she was seized with @ nervous trembliog. She bal peen subject to nervous affections for four Years, and was undergoing medical treatment. As 8200 as she REVEALED THE HORRIBLE DISCLOSURES her uncle started up and became greatly agitaied talking wildly about revenge. In the midst of his excitement he lefithe house and set out 10 “have sauisfaction.” After consulting with his friends he brought the girl before Justice Davis, and an amda- vit was made by her, setting forth the detalis of the crime. In the meantime Mahon, BOASTED OF THE CRIME, even in the vicinity of the police station and wichin the hearing of those who were wont to regard a man tn his posttion a8 @ protector, not a destroyer, of virtue, morality and honor, Hts own confessions would be deemeu suficient, in many parts of this country by an indignant public, to justify a resort to the court of JUDGE LYNCH, As the case became known public excitement was aroused, and Chief of Police McWilliams found it necessary to suspend Mahon and report the case to the Police Commissioners, A day was appointed for the trial, but, @ quorum not being present, the trial was postponed. Another day was appointed and there was a second postponement. Thereupon Mr. Pritchard, President of the Board, imformed all parties concerned that the case would positively be tried at the next meeting, whether counsel were ready or not. That meeting was fixed lor Tuesday evening at half-past seven o'clock. After a long delay a quorum was present. The Commissioners present were President Pritchard and Messrs. Goetze, Hutton and Gross. THE COURT ROOM WAS CROWDED, ‘While hundreds toitered outside. Smali knots ¢ould be seen at the street corners discussing the case. Sitting inside tie railing on a chair belonging to one of the absent comuissioners was Mahou, his * thrown up on a desk in inconvenient proximity to the head of Commissioner Hntton, who seemed quite confounded at this unprecedented display of what the world regards as ‘cheek,’ but which would be more properly termed in this case a bold DEFIANCE OF PUBLIC OPINION. A brazen hardihood took the piace of shame, and he seemed conscious of strength against all censure by the support tendered him in every reverse of for- tune by one of his judges. le ga at the crowd without wincing, teeth, twirled his .mustacbe, shifted his position ‘occasionally to secure more ense, and donned all the airs of a bridegroom at a wed- ding feast. The sight was positively Misgusting. Ninety-nine out of one hundred men would have fled from the city if charged with such an offence, supported by such proot. ere was one feature ip the trial which calls for oe te notice, for it can be safely asserted that 1t a8 NO PARALLEL IN THE CIVILIZED WORLD, or outside of civilization, where a trial is granted to an offenaer, Mahon frequently walked up to Com- missioner Gross, chatted, laughed and sat down be- side him to engage in private conversation. The accused rested his hand in the most familiar man- neron the Judge’s shoulder, while he whispered mto his ear, And yet tne Judge, if only exempt from the common frailty of numan nature, can decidefaccording to the evidence only, and without any fear or favor. The frequent smiles and nods of recognition which passed between these two characters in the | phat need however, impelled every beholder to the conciusiun that the god of justice had the bandage removed from nis eyes. The next featare to be noticed was not only AN OUTRAGE ON THE FREEDOM OF THE Cg but in direct violation of the City Onarter. e Spectators were all cieared out, which was a very Proper proceeding, tough Commissioner Gross moved to have tne trial made public. Had this motion prevailed the dreatl of making such an ex- Posure before a crowd attracted by mere curiosity would probably have prevented the gir) from ap- — at all, and there would be an end to the case. If such a penalty must be paid by a female seeking atonement for ruined honor many would SHRINK FROM IT AS THEY WOULD FROM DEATH. But when the crowd was cleared out the President arose, and, With an air of gravity and yet ina very courteous manuer, informed the representa- tives of the press that It was the desire of the Board) and of counsel on both sides that the testimony of the girl should not be published. This was a very seasonable admoniuon to the Bohemian penny-a-liners who thrive only on sensations; but to Journalists Whose sense of propriety forbids anything of the kind it was entirely uncalted for. The President, fe ——i(i‘“(Ctés however, went farther when he politely requested the MEMBERS OF THE PRESS TO LEAVE THE COURT, The request was complied with, and the law as laid down tn the city Charter was thereapon violated, The girl was piaced on the stand, and her cross- examination by Mr. Wivfleid occupied five hoars, Her counsel, who had been engaged, abandoned the case at the eleventh hour, and wrote a jetter which he directed her to present to the Court. Luckily Unus letter fell into the hands of Judge Rankin, who voluntarily took charge of the case for the plaintift, and it was found to contain a withdrawal of the charge by the girl. Such a proceeding on the part of a lawyer came in for a share of condemnation. The Court adjourned at half-past two yesterday morning and resumed the trial at one o'clock in the afternoon, when Mr, Winfieid delivered a remark- ably able specced fn behalt of Mahon. Judge Ran- kin’s reply was not only a fine intellectual effort, but A MASTERLY ARRAIGNMENT of the pac acts and especially the appointments of the Police Commissioners, closing wit the fol- lowing passage—*You tell us, Warough Mls savelute, NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1871.—WITH SUPPLEMENT.

A Man and Woman Stabbed by a Car Driver The Former Likely te Die~The Asssilant Captured. On the northwest corner of Hester street and the Bowery ts a low oyster saloon, the constant haunt of thieves and prostitutes. It 1s an eyesore to the people and the police of the precinct, as being con- Unually the scene of drunken brawls and thieving practices, It is what 1s called a “night house’— that is, itis open all night and receives only the custom of those whose ways are devious and thelr hours unwholesome. At five o'clock yesterday morning, just as the gray dawn was breaking, Dennis Daily, a driver on the Third Avenue Railroad, entered this place for the Purpose of procuring something to cat and drink. He stood at the bar drinking, when one of the nymphs who frequent the place, named Catharine A. Huston, came up and asked him to tréat her. Dally pushed her and told her to keep away from him. A man named James Otis, who was sitting at a table near by, made some remark to Daily, which Daily took as a direct lusult, and a fight immeaiately ensued. They struggled around the room for some time, up- setting tables and chairs, the girl, in the midst of it, ostensibly eying to separate them, At last Daily plunged a knife imto Otis? left breast, just a lituie above the heart, striking at the girl immediately after, but indicting a flesh wound only.

The gale increased in and the rain descended in floods until betwee: eleven and twelve o'clock P. M., at which time 1 reached its height. The most substantial iad facing the north were flooded. The streets look like one sea, and the winds howled and how! gain, tearing away everything exposed to th jury, doing an immense amount of damage. THE DAMAGE sustained by the public works in and about the city, will probably not fall short of $100,000, ‘The main sewer on East Broad street, which being built under contract with C.

LAMAR’S FIELD and the adjacent lowlands, in’ the eastern part of, the city, present a similarspectacie. The crops are all under water, and the Bilbo Canal 1s overflowed its entire length from the Shell road tothe river. Whas damage was done to private property, in ihe shape of injury to crops planted, we have not been able yet to ascertain; but it must reach thous sands of dollars, THE CENTRAL RAILROAD. At four o'clock yesterday morning it was discov- ered that the large ten foot culvert over Musgrove creek had given way, carrying with It the embank- ment for a distance of about one hundred and fifty Jeet, the water rushing through at a velocity of aboutslx miles per hour, The break rapidly in- creased, and at twelve o’clock on yesterday nearly the whole culvert had succumbed to the ac- tion of the furious waters. The immediate causa of this break was the breaking of the bank of the Ogeechee Canal into the timber basin above the culvert, the dam of which giving way caused - the whole flood of waters to the culvert, Which, un= able to stand the pressure, gave way, a8 also did the bridge on the Louisville road across the for creek, A large force trom the Central Rallro went speedily to the spot, and were put to work building a temporary foot bridge on the southern side of the road bed, with the view of cutting away thé remaining portion of the culvert aua relieving the embankment from the pressure of water agains® it. The logs at this pomt 14 esilmated at from $10,000 to $16,000, This break of course cut off communication by train with the depot, and ne- Cessitated the transfer of passengers and mails at this poiot, the arriving trains being the departing ones, * BRICK YARDS. Tne brick yard of Hamlet & Bailey, situated om the canal, aud also that of Swayae & Koberta, suffered considerably, the loss of brick in the former being estimated as about $1,500, The saw mill of Butler & Hardwick, situated at the 100t of the Central Railroad bridge, was con- siderably damaged. A portion of the mill house wag carried away, the engine was completely submerged, and twenty cords of sawed foot and twenty-five of stick wood swept away. by the food, The aamage, done here 18 estimated at $400, ATLANTIC AND GULF RAILROAD, Although no damage has been done to the prow perty of the AUlanuc and Gulf Railroad in* the im- mediate vicinity of the city, the non-arrival o: the train suggested something Wrong. It was found that a serious break had occurred ut the culvert al the five-mile post, sweeping away the embankment rapidly for @ considerable distance. Another brea Was reported some distance above, and at a late ‘ets yesterday afternoon no ttings of the down rain had been received, the telegraph being pros, trated and no means of communicating beyond the first break. A large force of hands was despatched to the culvert, aud at three o’clock in the atternoon it was rendered passabie, the men working with am energy and vin highly commendable. Whether there are any other serious breaks veyond remains to be seen, THB SAVANNAH, SKIDAWAY AND SEABOARD RAIL- ROAD, The damage done to this road has also been serious, entirely stopping the running of the traing for several days, it is supposed.

CROPS, The injury to the crops has been immense, a3 we stated, Those planted on Springfield plantation and Lamar’s, Lawton’s and other farms in the low grounds east have becn ruined, and are now entirely under water. : The damage to the rice crop along the river, on the Ogeechee, &c., cannot yet be ascertained, al- though we have seen a note from the overseer to the lanter of an extensive plantation on the Pauont et River, giving @ disastious account of the action of the food on the plantation—settlemenis under water, provisions and supplies destroyed, &c.

THE STORM ALONG THE BAY AND RIVER, Along the bay the evidences of the storm were numerous, im the shape of limbs .and branches of trees lying on the sidewalks and in the street, awnings torn to pieces, signs demolished, &c, Bue there was little if any standing water to be seen.
