VIRGINIA. Apprehensions of a Disastrous Fioot— Richmond Threatened. RICHMOND, May 8, 1973. There aré apprehensions felt that the Spring freshets will prove more serious in their conse- quences than for years past. At Danville the river Dan is higher than it has been before 4n the memory of the “oldest in- habitant,” and it 1s atill rising. Families are fleeing from their threatened homes @t some points, while at others the houses have been swept away and much valuable prop- erty has already been destroyed, A despatch says hundreds of people are collected on the banks of the river watehing the gradual rising of the waters and trembling for the safety of their property. It is feared the whole country in that section will be inundated. At Lexington the North River has risen very rapidly, and the roads are all subme! and impassable. The North is a tributary of the James, and will help to swell the flood that new threatens Richmond from Lynchburg, where there has been a rise in the river of over fifteen: feet in less than twelve hours. At Charlottesville the Rivanna is very high Qnd stillon the rise; it is also a tributary of the dames in part. So far as intelligence has been ob- tained ail the streams supplying the James are ris- ing rapidly, and unless a javorable change edily takes place there will be an ugly flood repetition, it may be, of the scenes of 1871. Destructive Freshets in the Dan River— The Bridges Threatencd—Tonements Swept Away—Exodus from Dwellings— Narrow Escapes from Drowning, DANVILLE, Va., May 8, 1873, ‘This has been a day of intense interest and ex, citement for this city. The unusually heavy and continuous rains of the past two days have caused the most extensive and destructive freshets ever known in Dan River. Never was such a flood seen by the oldest inhabitants. The river continues to rise, and great fears are entertained for the safety of the wagon bridge, which is now almost reached by the angry waters. The damage to fences, houses, barns and bridges cannot be esti- mated, The banks of the rivor have been lined alt day by eager spectators amxtously watching the oncoming water. Large numbers o! families living near the river in places hitherto entirely safo have been compelled to fiee from thelr dwellings, leaving their houses, out- houses and gardens submerged, while a half dozen small tenement houses have been swept entirely away, with all their contents. There have been several narrow escapes from drowning, but for- tunately no lives lost. The beer garden and saloon recently constructed on Reed Isiand, a short istance down the river, have been carried away with the furniture and stock. The extensive foundry and machine shops of Messrs. Crews, Rhodenhiser & Oo. are flooded with water, and their losses are heavy in timber, fixtures and damage to machinery. The wors! consequences are apprehended. WASHINGTON. Protest of the Governor of Sonora Against the Howard Apache Treaty. WASHINGTON, May 8, 1873. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has received copy of the protest of J. Pesqueira, Governor of Sonora, to Governor Safford, of Arizona, against what he supposes to be the stipulations of the treaty entered into between General 0. 0. Howard and the Indian Ohbief Cochise. Governer Pesqueira recites quite a lst of murders and lesser crimes committed by Cochise between November last and March ofthe pfesent year, and claims that the treaty above alluded to allows Cochise to have free range in Mexico, Commissioner Smith says this is an entire mistake, as the treaty in no way refers to Sonofd OF oiner Mexican cs he It is Sig that atrocities have bedi wea ed in Bondra by the Apaches, as Pesqueira alleges; but if participated in by any members of Cochise’s, band, it has been without Cochise’s sanction, as al) reports show he has personally conformed in good faith to the terms and spirit of his treaty, though he may have been unable to control outlaws of his band. The Union Pacific and the Government, The Attorney General has decided the question submitted to him some time since by the Secretary of War as to the right of the government to retain one-half of the pay tothe Union Pacific Railroad Company for government transportation by the company across its bridge over the Missouri River at Omaha, and holds that the determination of this question does not involve the inquiry as to the terminus of the Union Paciéc Railroad, and, there- fore, there is no decision upon that subject. Second, that the act of 1862, incorporating the company, and the amendatory act of 1864, are to be taken together as one act, and, as they provide that one-half ofall compensation for services rendered by the company to the government shall be retained for the payment of its bonds and interest, without naming any specific services, and as said acta grant railroad telegraph and bridge franchises the Attorney General holds that the provision as to gompensation applieg as well to services under the other of these franchises, Third, that under the act of 1873 all compensation for services to the government by said company upon its railroads of any kind is to be retained so long as any interest | jm the Unttea Stateg by the company upen its botids remain unpaid, Aild {bat the railroad of the company acfoss the bridge 1s oné gf the railroads to which said act applies. z Decision by the Commissioner of Pens sions.

Mr. Ames remained partially conscious at intervals up to noon of Wednesday, from which time he remained Perfectly unconscious up to the time of his death, Sketch of Oakes Ames, Oakes Ames was born in Easton, Bristol county, Mass., January 10, 1804. He was a manufacturer by profession, and for the greater part of his life was identified with the town of North Easton, to which place he went from Plymouth, Mass., sixty- five years ago, a poor bey. He learned the trade of shovel making at @ forge, and the old shop where first he worked still stands asa reminder of the past. He was for two years a member of the Executive Council of the State, and in 1862 was elected a Representative from Massachusetts to the Thirty-eighth Congress, serving on the com- mittees on Revolutionary Claims and Manufac- tures. He was re-elected to the Thirty-ninth Con- ress, serving on the committees on the Pacitic Ruilroad and Manufactures. He was also a dele- gate to the Philadelphia Loyalists’ Convention of 1866 and re-elected to the Fortieth, Forty-tirst and Forty-second Congresses, Speaking of the man as he was known to his neighbors a despatch from North Easton says:— ‘In all his business wanderings he never lost sight of the town ef his adoption. An academy building, and one of the finest in the Commonwealth, was constructed through the muaificent donation of $43,000 by the Ames family, and there are other and [pape improvements, which are the work of is benevolence.

Mr. Al manner of life among his towns- men was very simple. Entirely destitute of that conceit which sometimes accompanies the posses- sion of great wealth, he deported himself at home as a sturdy, self-reliant old farmer, contented with himself when others were doing well, and without one grain of selfishness. He was he! there and everywhere about the town, always good natured and ready to help say body whom he thought was trying to help himself. ir. Ames was never before the poankay, in all his career in Congress until the Crédit Mevilier explo- sion of last year. He was notalovabie man to strangers, and had few ef the qualities that attract pepularity, He had the Yankee trait of shrewd, sharp, money-getting largely developed, and his operations connected with the Union Pacific Rail- road showed, in the science of gain, he was bold, criging and not over scrupulous. He was aman of iarge, almost gigantic, frame, heavy featured and outwardly dulland ungarnished. The painful prominence given to him by the Crédit Mobilier in- coats an. had no yery deleterious effect upon his temperament Unlike one who has me before him but a jew days he reated the odium of public opinion with calm and cynical indifference.

Johnson, of thts city, the new Prest+ dent of the Pacilic and Atlantic Company, was ta- terviewed this afternoon in regard to the truth of the assertion that his line was about te bel absorbed by the Western Union. Tho President, sald that he could not learn that there wi a single stockuolder of the Western Unton Com- pany that held shares in Pacific and Atlantio. The retiring management would have formed a lease, he satd, with the Western Union if it could have been done on the right sort of terms, The present Board had not given the matter the least attention. It organized and adjeurned, and will not mees again for three months unless business of specia® importance should necessitate its meeting. Le answer to the question whether or not negotiations were pending on the part of the Board, looking te the control of the Pacific and Atantic and passing it to the Western Union, the reply was, “I em- phatically deny that there are any negotias tions — gol on between the Pacific and& Atlantic and Western Union, either with reference to sale, lease or any control whatever, The direos tors of the company or the President are powerless revent their stockholders from selling anid to certificates to any who may desire to purchase same, and have inne way endeavored te cont their actiona,” In regard to the representations of feeling dis- pares by the stockholders at the recent electi wards the retiring management Mr. Johnsor said there were feur gentlemen present who hel proxies of stockholders to an amount exceeding ® large majority of the whole stock; and the exprese@ end only conditions upon whic! were obtained were that the late omoer@ should not be re-elected, either to ofiict position or even as members W& the Board, Ni Stipulation was made as to who should occap) their places, and the definite arrangements we! never made by holders of proxies until within twa hours of the election, and tne new ticket was them agreod upon, after consultation with quite a large number of holders of the stock other than those who held pore and their views were unant- mous, Resolutions were permitted to be carried by half @ dozen weak voices rather than provoke angry discussion which would have been useles® and interminable. ‘The President further said that three-fourths 0: the whale stock were voted last Tuesday, and that the vote was unanimous. He and the new Boar knew nothing further about the financial conditior of the company other than the Information gaine from the report of the old Board. He presum that thia report was correct, having been passe on by informal audit, but that ic was necessary that the audit should not be formally made, as ree quired by their rules. He also stated that it would require the wfitten consent of the holders of threee fourths of the Pacific and Atlantic stock to effect a transfer or lease with the Western Union. i It 18 also learned that arrangements have beem made by the new Board for consolidation with the, Atlantic and Pacific, which also includes tha Franklin lines, The Atlantic and Pacific lines ox= tend from Washington through New York to ton; trom New York, via Albany, to Chicago; thence to Omaha and San Francisco; also frem New Yor! by the Midland Railroad, to Oswego, Cleveland and, these proxies Cinctnnatt, connecting with the system of Canadiat lines at Detroit.
