Anil Ajax A ?lia no More."
When .the correspondence between
Messrs. Kershaw and Bansier appeared,
we took occasion to say that practically
the assurances given by Mr. Bansier, of
a disposition on his part to have a fair
election, amounted to nothing. ' We
learn now that there is a hitch in the
arrangements proposed, and that Gov.
Scott will give no satisfactory evidence
of any intention on bis part to make the
proposed arrangement efficacious. We
presume that the Elective believes in
?.-tho good old rulo, the simple plan.
That they snail tako who havo tho powor,
And they shall keup who can."
We would be pleased to learn from tho
Secretary of the Executive Committee
of the Union Beform Party the progress
of his efforts to provide for a committee
of both parties to attend at each voting
precinct. And we trust that tho Execu?
tive Committeo will see to it that auti
radicalists shall not bo deprived of the
fruits of any snccess that mny be fairly
?won by them. We cannot afford this.
Our Slate Folley.
"South Caroling whether we like it or
not, is now inhabited by two races of
people. According to the laws of the
land, tho colored people forming ono of
these raoes are endowed with full citi?
zenship. They vote, sit ou juries, form
military aompanies, and hold office
The question now is, what is tho proper
policy to bo pursued in South Carolina
with the view of, promoting tho public
weal and making the most of the cir?
cumstances that surround us? We are
fully satisfied as to the proper policy.
Our policy should not be based upon re?
sentment. It should be wise, liberal aud
enlightened. Whatever may bo the fu?
ture of tho colored race iu these South?
ern communities, our duties are in the
present, as our relations to them now
munt bo considered. We deem it the
obvious duty of tho South to promote,
in every legitimate way, tho improve?
ment of the colored man. If he is a
citizen, it is obviously our duty to see to
it that hu be a sobor, discreet and indus?
trious member of tho body politic If
ho is a juryman, a soldier aud a voter,
it is certaiuly to our interest that he bc
educated and alive to the public inte?
rests. Hence it is, that we would advise
and advocate, as for the colored people
as well as the whites, a policy of encou?
ragement nud help and genuine advance
ment. And wheu the prosent radico
rule shall have terminated-as it must
Boon terminate-and tho Southern peo
pie, redeemed and disenthralled, sha!
have been remitted to cheerful nnc
wholesome ?ol?-govcrumont, we, as on<
of the triumphant party of the not dis
tant future, shall advocate for the coloree
race a policy that is fair, just and liberal
a policy that fully recognizes their claims
Bearing in mind how the great body o
these people have been misled by desigu
ing adventurers and self-seeking leaders
white and black, wo shall bo
"To their faults a little blind,
'To their virtues a little kind
And put a padlock ou our minds
As tu the past."
Wo shall be disposed to welcome then
to all the prosperity that God, in Hi
Providence, has designed for the raco
and to give them a full showing ant
equal and exact just ico. Knowing tha
the white race of tho South aro perfect);
able to take care of themselves, we d<
not ask iu their behalf any partial legis
lation, but are quite ready to submit tin
question of influence and power to tlx
operation of natural, legitimate un?
peaceful laws. So much for our polio;
as respects tho colored race.
Another feature of State policy is Itu
encouragement of immigrants und set
tiers from the North und Europe, as
means of developing our resources
This wo invest with great importance
Wo need this strength. We need thi
means of development. It is now we
established that wealth is au essen Iii:
part of the State. It has been aske
"What constitutes a Stale?" And th
answer has boon given, "Men, high
minded men." Doubtless, this is true
"Men, high-minded men," do form ou
of tho constituent elements of th
STATU. But thero is another, and this i
WEALTH. In seeking, therefore, to ur.
raise the broken columns of former pro?
perity in South Carolina, let it never b
forgotten that a STATE, to stand au
prevail, must surround itself with th
solid muuimcnts, not only of "men,7iial
minded men," but also of wealth-th
sinews alike of ponce aud War?
the source of dignity, influence nu
power.

The Flood In Virginia.
We make the following extracts from
the Biohmond Dispatch:,
Since our last i so no, tho great flood
has been the prevailing topic of thought
and conversation. Indeed, it bsa been
brought to our tory doors, and left ?neb
an impression upon our. city that'few-,
who have witnessed the vast expanse of
water, and known anything of the ruin
it hoB wrongbt, will soon forgot the fresh
of 1870-the greatest of a century. For?
tunately, not a. single lifts.bas been lost,
but not loss than 100 families have been
expelled from their homes by the angry
waters; and not.only, haye our business
interests suffered materially from the
suspension of trade cons?quent upon the
excitement, -but the actual pecuniary
loss sustained by this community can?
not be estimated at lees than $1,000,000.
We speak only of Biohmond; of what
the country above us has suffered we fear
to hazard an opinion. Time will bring
the figuren ont with frightful boldness.
THE IUSINO OF TUE WATERS.
Ccmmcncing to roll down upon us at
about noon on Friday, at mid-night the
waters had attained a height unusual
even for a freshet. All. through the
night it continued to rieo in Hie harbor,
at the rafe of not- less thau n foot and a
half un hour. When morning came,
bright and cloudless though it was, thc
river was swollen to dimensions calcu?
lated to fill with dismay tho hearts of nil
who dwelt or did business in low lands.
Tho islands'in tho river wero over-run
with a rapid current; the vessels in the
dock bad risen to tho level of tho
wharves; the bridges over the Jumes
were trembling beneath tho blows of the
drift-wood and the beating of the waves
against tboir tough timbers; and the re?
port was that the water was slowly find?
ing its way into the ?treots in the lower
part of the city. There was a little lake
on Gary street, and the people ol
Bocketts found tho river literally at
tboir doors. Still there were those whe
said the fresh bad reached its highest,
and that Bichmond was not in danger.
Nobody fully realized the situation.
THE WATER IN THE STREETS.
Fortunately, however, some bad heed?
ed the kindly-meant warnings receivet
from the Bufferers on tho upper James
and made preparations for the flood. A
good deal of tho tobacco had been gottei
ont of Mayo's warehouse, during .tin
night, but there were still hundreds o
hogsheads there, and some consignee:
did not seem ut all alarmed. A tux
lumber merchants bod taken precau
tions, one or two foundrymeu hac
cleared their floors, and many people ii
Bocketts were ready to move. As re
ports were received of "still rising," o
"no fall," many moro began to get rend;
for an overflow; and at about 10 o'clocl
the whole of the lower part of the cit;
was in a state of excitement. The wnte
bod now risen nearly up to tho eaves o
the steamboat sheds at Bocketts, am
Gillie's Greek bad overflown its banks
Up town also, matters looked serious
From Cary street tho water passed over t
Main, filling Seventeenth street as it cam
along, and almost without n moment'
warning the butchers and hucksters o
the Old Market found their feet gettin
wet. When the reporters went up t
the Police Court in tho upper part c
market-house at half-past 9 o'clock the
walked there dry shod. When they cam
out at half-past 10 the water was almot
knee-deep on the pavement.
Meantime tho water was still rising o
Main street, and ladies traveling froi
one hill to the other wero under tho nc
cessity of standing up on the beuchest
keep from getting wet. At 12 o'cloc
the cars could no longer go across, th
water being deep enough to swim
horse. The cars on cither side of th
stream, however, continued to nm to th
water's edge during the whole day wit
punctuality and regularity that reflecte
credit upon tbo management of the Si
perinlendent.
AT THE DRIDGCS.
Mayo's bridgo was tho chief point (
interest, however, during the fore poi
of Saturday, for it was expected that
would bo soon washed away. A larg
crowd waited on the river bank for hour,
in the scorching sun, waiting to soo tl;
catastrophe, and, if tho truth must L
told, manifested no little impatience an
disappointment (such is human naturi
that it so long resisted tho attack of tl:
element. At one time it seemed icu po.
sible that it could stand un hour. Tl:
river was filled with drifting still
There carno ulong logs, mill timber, ha;
stacks, trunks, barrels, boxes, pieces ?
fencing, chairs, tables, benches, gate
wagon-bodies, hnrnesp, pumpkins au
watermelons, agricultural implement
boughs of trees, and two or I breo who
roofs of houses. Luckily most of tl
debris following tho track of tho swifte
part of tho current was carried right ui
der tho bridge, but other pieces we
driven against tho abutments with teri
bio force, and so, nt tho sumo time, tl
water rapidly arose, it was evident aboi
noon that tho bridge must go. At qua
tor-past 12 the part over Manches!
Creek parted company with the rest, ai
it was followed in a fuw minutes by t
that part of tho bridge, two or Min
hundred yards in length, on tho Soul
sido of tho island. Tho prccautioi
taken by tho polico authorities wero i
off oct i vo that, notwithstanding Ibo gre
anxiety of tho crowd to expose Ihn
selves to tho duuger of being waslli
away, nobody was ou any part of tl
bridge when it floated off.
Mayo's gone, all eyes were turned t
ward tho Danville bridgo, and it hard
seemed possible that it could long wit
stand the rising current. But its powc
of endurance, aided by measures carril
into effect by Superintendent Dodau)el
nod bis assistants, proved fully equal
tho octfasion. About five foot of weat
erboarding was knocked off the low
part of tho bridgo to allow tho water
pass through, and a still moro officio
means of keeping it in placo wns ti
loading of a number of coal cars wi
pig-iron and running them on tho bridg
The tide crept up to the very floor ot
tho massive structure, and the drift-wood
was fiercely hurled against it without in?
termission for hours; but the bridge, re?
mained unshaken to the very last.
The Petersburg Railroad bridge was
never thought to be in danger, and it did
not disappoint the expectations, of its
friends. Trains ran over it when the
water waa doing its worst, and.the pas?
sengers, knowing its condition, felt as
safe as on dry laud.
nOCKETTS AMD THEREABOUTS.
. Rocketts Buffered perhaps more than
any other parc of tho city. The river,
rising above the wharves, Bpread itself
over whole blocks, and an idea of the
height of tho fresh may be obtained from
tho statement that only the peaks of tho
roofs of the steamboat sheds were visi?
ble. Gillie's Creek wns swollen to the
dimensions of a good-sized river, and
Bloody Run was for awhile a foaming
torrent. The James River ?Steamboat
Company's Bheds were swept away quito
early in the notion, nnd nfter bumping
against several houses and knocking
down a street lamp, departed in pieces.
Tho people in dwelling-houses, vainly
hoping that the flood would soon sub?
side, - wore driveu from floor to floor,
until finally they and their furniture had
to be taken out oi tho garret windows
and carried away iu boats to the
houses of hospitablo neighbors.
THE VALLEY.
As the river rose tho back-water gra?
dually mndo its way up Shocko Creek
until it obtained a considerable height
above the key-stones of tho different
arches spanning tho stream nt the street
crossings. Tho bridge in rear of the
Lancaaterinn school-house was carried
away, and tho houses on both sides of thc
creek as far up ns the foot of President
Hill, consisting mostly of small framed
dwellings, wero inundated. Somo of
their inhabitants moved to the upper
stories, but the greater number, with all
their worldly goods, abandoned their
homes and struck for a higher position.
THE GAH WORKS.
Tho river never before rose high enough
to inj uro the gas works very seriously,
and the Superintendent had no reason tc
apprehend snch a state of affairs this
time. When the day hands came to worh
in the morning, tho water hud not nindi
headway enough to ennse any nimm.
But it soon began to rise withiu the en
closure with such rapidity as to make ii
necessary for work to bo abandoned. Ai
5 o'clock p. m., tho fires were all est in
guished by the flood, and tho water wa:
five feet deep in the rwtort-house. Th<
engines were entirely submerged.
Tho damage sustained by tho works i
not kuown. It is feared that the retort
may havo been injured by tho contrae
tion consequent upon sudden cooling
and that the coal has bceu rendered unfi
for early uso.
THE WATER WORKS.
We visited the pump-house about 4 p
m. on Saturday, and found the Super
intondent on tho spot with his force
ready for any emergency that migb
arise. AU of the tools, ?to., had bee
removed from tho tool-houso to hight
ground out of danger, and the hour;
itself, to- guard against possible washin
away, securely fastened with large rope
to the surrounding trees. A Bma
woodoo building which had been Intel
erected at the West end of the mai
building, and was not completed, ha
beon carried off by tho flood. Wor
was stopped on Friday, and, ns a pn
cautionary measure, all of the food-gat<
were tightly closed. Tho water entere
the main building from the river fron
and rose rapidly until it had gained a
elevation of four aud a half feet abo\
tho pump floor-four feet higher than
was ever known at that point bcfori
The machinery was submerged, L
part of it being visible but the upp<
portions of tho wheels and the nir-box
THE CANAL.
Early in the morning tho water roso I
.such au extent at the first locks, aboi
three miles abovo the city, as to overflo
tho feeder to thu canal at that point at
carry away tho cut-oft* gates, admittii
a largo portion of tho river current
that point. Very soou tho current w
seen rushing ulong tho course of tl
canal towards the basin, rapidly gainii
upon tho bauks. About 10 o'clock
was discovered that it was nearly upon
level with tho tow-path, and at poin
near Gallego Mills, tho Tredegar Work
and the pump-house, was gradually stet
iug over the banks.
A DESPERATE ItE?.I EDY.
At this juueturo it was determined
cut tho caual bank, and give vent to tl
rushing stream. Accordingly a gang
men from tho Tredegar Works wua c!
spatched immediately to n point abo
100 yards abovo tho water works, aud s
to work. Aller mukiug a ditch abo
three feet deep, tho entire width of i
path, tho water carno rushing aud tum
ling through with such impetuosity ai
foreo as in a fow minutes to form an ii
meuse chasm 100 foot wido aud abo
forty feet deep, which gavo free vent
tho pent-up power, and entirely cmpti
the city sido of tho canal, thereby savi
from almost certain destruction t

Gallego Mills, and other ruunufuoturi
establishments ulong thu water lit
But for this wise und timely actiu
almost incalculable damage would ha
been inflicted, throwing hundreds
working men for a long timo out of e
ploy mont, flooding tho ivholucity on I
South of Main street from the head
t he basin to Becketts, and causing note
distress aud danger from a scarcity
water.
Tho damage to tho water works, as !
as could bo ascer'.aiued, will not exct
?5,000. Tho filling of tho canal ba
above that point will be done at tho <
pense of tho Trodegnr Company.
SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
Tho Dauvillo train, which left here
Saturday morning, went only two mi
from tho city, finding the truck four I
under water.
About oighty feet of the massive ste
wall botwecu Mayo's and tho Danvi
5
Railroad bridgea were undermined and
.carried away on Saturday night.
A new wharf, the name of which we
were unable to learn, gave way end
went down the river, carrying with it a
schooner. s
About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
boat ferrying on Maid street between
Hamilton's hat store and McPhail's drug
store, and containing five colored per?
sons, two of whom were females, wai
apset, and the content? wero spilled
in the water four feet deep. Nobody
was drowned.
We had to do without ice yesterday,
tho ice-houses being submerged on Sa?
turday. It was n great privation tu
others besides Sons of Temperance.
All the floor of tho York River freight
shed was ruised by water. The track
was covered to a depth of a foot or more
in the tunnel near Pine and Main streets,
and a couple of engines and some cars
were not gotten ont of town in time to
avoid being flooded.
On Saturday evening our streets in tho
vicinity of tho flood and Libby's aud
Gamble's Hill were thronged with sight
beers. It was a sight worth seeing, aud
few who saw it will ever forget it.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon tho
water lind fallen from around the York
River depot, so ns to aiiow them to clean
up, aud wo suppose the trains will leave
to-day as usual. Thc water at that time
was still all along the dock on some cross
streets nearly up to Cary street.
TUE TIDE IlECEDES..
Tho water was at its heigbtat 10 o'clock
ou Saturday night. There was no per?
ceptible riso after that hour, aud at
about mid-niglit there were many evi?
dences of a fall. It continued to decline
during the night, and at 10 o'clock in the
morning had f?llen four feet. At noon,
the water was about as high as it was at
the samo time on Saturday. Thereafter,
the fall was very rapid, and last night
vehicles could pass without any difficul?
ty, and pedestrians could wade any where
ou tho parts of Main and Franklin
streets that had been flooded. The river
was not entirely confined to its limits,
and was indeed higher than it is in an
ordinary fresh.
TUE LOSSES.
As tho tido receded, our reporters
were enabled to obtain more details as
to the loss sustained by business houses,
but even the loaor?? were uot prepared to
give any reliable estimates of their da
umges.
MANCHESTER.
On the Manchester side of tho James,
tho ravages of the flood have been pro?
portionately disastrous. Early Saturday
morning, it became evideuttbnta most
serious fresh was to be apprehended, and
preparations were made at all tho manu?
facturing establishments to remove all
'that was perishable or movablo. Crowds
j gathered around Mayo's and the Dan?
ville bridges and lined tho banks, watch?
ing the tell destroyer. About 10|.i a.
m., a portion of thu Southern division
! of Mayo's bridge was carried away, and
I about an hour after, gallantly breasting
j tho storm, the remainder was forced to
succumb. Everything on Sharp's and
Talbott's islands were swept away, and
Belcher's narrowly escaped.
TIOUSES UNDER WATER.
Later in the day tho wator continued
rising rapidly, aud soon that part of the
town known as tho "Lower Bowery"
all that portion North of Third and East
of Hull streets-was deluged, in some
places up to the second stories of the
dwelling. The inhabitants, as well as
those in Marx's Field, around the neigh?
borhood of the Cool Spring, wero mak?
ing precipitato flight, after moving what
furniture they could to tho upper por?
tions of tho houses. Tho cottuges were
secured as well as possible, and left to
tho mercy of tho devouring element.
A wagon enguged in moving Mr. B.
Puryeur was caught in tho flood, and the
horses only saved by cutting them loose
and leaving tho wagon and goods. A
ferry, with headquarters ut Third and
Hull streets, conveyed tho peoplo and
some few necessary articles to places of
safety.
LOSSES OF THE FACTORIES.
At the bucket factory of Allen it Co.
the destruction was fearful-a largo
quantity of stock, buckets, fte., beiug
swept away. A now frame building,
erected to accommodate their increasing
trade, was turned over and completely
wreckd. Their damage cannot be esti?
mated.
Tho foundry of Baird's heirs, at the
other end cf the Manchester Cana! was
also considerably damaged. They wore
probably the next heaviest sufferers,
losing patterns aud stock, in addition to
the great damage to machinery.
Fortunately, tho other establishments
loso but littlo moro than the damage
dono to machinery and the paper by
stoppage.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The refugees were kindly cared for by
their friends, and boro their fato witb
perfect composure.
No houses of value io or around tho
town have been swept away. Somo few
domestic animals perished, but the
greater portion were removed to pinces of
safety.
Auy number of amusing incidents oc?
curred, tending in a small degree to
lighten tho general depression. One
sud feature of thu flood is tho large num?
ber of dependent persons thrown out of
eiuploj'inont, including many women and
children. It is hoped, however, that tho
stoppage will not bo of long duration.
Work had just been suspended in tho
factories to allow necessary repairs to
the canal and the forebaj's thereon, but
at this writing tho amount of damage
inflicted since tho rise cannot bo ascer?
tained. It is fortunato that there has
been no injury to life or limb, everybody
seeming to act with the utmost caution.
Early in tho day travel was allowed by
tho Danville bridge, bnt later, when its
destruction seemed imminent, tho com?
pany wero compelled to prohibit travel,
und communication was partially sus?
pended with Bichmond.
Lato in the evening a large number of
tho blockaded reachod Home via the Pe?
tersburg Railroad, the company using
the small oscillating engine of the Fred
erioksburg Road to convey passengers.
Tho excitement in the town boa nevor
boon an groat-not ?ven^n evacuation
day. Business wes entirely suspended,
and antil a late hour Saturday night the
streets wero crowded. It is posted that
arrangements will bo made with tho Pe?
tersburg and Danville roads to bring
over necessury articles, and that prices
of tho necessaries of lifo will not be
greatly advanced, as no honest person
would take nd vu ut ago of the general
distress.
Tho toll-house remains standing as the
only monument to mark where Mayo's
bridge once stood. The well known and
beautiful garden and dwelling of
Schmidt, "Tho Guide," was destroyod.
We understand that ho succeeded in re?
moving most nf his furniture. No dam?
age was dono the property of the Dan?
ville company; it being situated on high
ground. Tho water reached nour tho
corner of 4th uud Porter streets, bnck
ing ?ip from the break in tho canal io
front of the papor mill. The paper-mill
bridge was carried away, but tho arch
ou Hull street still remains.
Ko DOUBT.-Gen. John C. Brown, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Teunessee, made a capital speech at
Chattanooga, tho other day. He deli?
vered this admirable hit:
"I linve thus I eeu over tho entire
pint for ni, and am ?uro there is nothing
in it to which uny reasonable man could
object. The radicals, of course, object.
I suppose if we had adopted the Ten
Commandments us a platform, Rome one
would have objected. I am suro tho ra?
dicals would, for there is, I believe, ono
of them which says, 'Thou shalt not
steal.' "
