Whole Souled Fellows. There are few individuals, probably, "Who do not know what this i'phrase formerly meant. Every 'one has seen a specimen, at least, of the class intended' to be described "by if, arid heard of many more and they cannot but observe that the ranks of such arc diminishing every day. The time has been when a party of young gentlemen, of character and standing, could meet in a club room, or at some popular place of resort, pass the evening in friendly games and conviviality, and when heated with wine, smash the furniture, upset the table, abuse the waiters, and telling Boniface to sum up the damages and the biil should be footed, sally forth upon a roystering expedition about the neighborhood, breaking lamps, insulting men and women, knocking down Charlies, and finally bringing up, all tattered and torn in the watch house. In the meantime the affair became known to some anxious friend, who, on hearing of their "misfortunes," repaired to the scene of trouble, interceded with the magistrates, expatiated upon the respectability of the parties implicated, and obtained for them a discharge upon a private examination.

The functionaries would express their surprise at the occurrence, and with a simpering censure amounting to approbation, or a gentle remonstrance, recognized by the culprits as magisterial encouragement, release tliem upon promise of making reparation for injuries, at the same time whispering to their attendant, in a private way, that they were "whole souled fellows," and ought not, therefore, to be dealt with severely. As there were two classes of debts which such people pronounced honorable," and paid, to the Xioniaiana. The Democratic triumph in this hitherto strong hold of Federalism is fully confirmed. Mouton will be elected Governor by more tiian two thousand majority. In the 28 parishes heard from, he is now 1,789 votes ahead of his competitor.

Wc annex the more important portion Saturday, 4 o'clock P. Mi The waiter is still making at the rate of two inches to the hour, being a rise of 1 3 4 inches greater than yesterday. Rocketts is entirely under water all of Main street. The office of the Virginia Towing Company, situated near the steamboat landing, is entirely overflowed.

This morning at 11 o'clock, they had to enter the premises through the roof, for the purpose of securing their books and papers, which was happily accomplished. Numbers of families have been compelled to vacate their homes to save themselves from a watery grave. Mr. Granger has experienced the most severe loss that we have yet heard of. The water is one foot four inches in his store, and the ingress and egress can only be accomplished through the medium of boats.

Many of his goods have been totally destroyed, and others rendered useless. Messrs. James Winston Son have lost a very large quantity of shingles about 100,000 have boon swept from the wharf, where they were piled up, by this deluge. Bridges on our streams, in every direction, have been carried away. Great fears are entertained for that over River, known as Mayo's bridge.

There isnowono brig and twenty nine schooners lying at our wharves, which are in a very precarious situation. The Falls Plantation, opposite our city, on the Manchester side, is completely inundated. It is estimated that nut less than 800 or 1000 stacks of wheat have there boon destroyed. The damage along our river has been immense. The river is now 14 feel 9 inches above high water mark, having been on the increase since Thursday eveniucr, half past o'clock.

Messrs. Tyler Taylor, on Main street, directly opposite the market, have eight inches water in their cellar, and have sustained heavy damage. The bakery of T. C. Baptist, on 7th, between Main and Gary streets, has 3 fnet water in the Bakehouse, the hands in his employ working last night in water up to their waists.

Six o'clock. It is still raining, but the river is falling. Two of the abutments of Mayo's bridge have been carried away. No prospect of the Norfolk steamer arriving to night. A boat freighted with five men and a boy (hands employed by the Tredegar Iron Company) in coming from Brown's Island to the landing in the rear of the Armory, in a small boat, were capsized when within about fifteen or twenty feet of shore, in consequence of coming in contact with some floating timber.

Thos. Goldin, an Englishman, and Sam. Edwards, a Welshman, were drowned three men and the boy happily reached the shore. Later. The Compiler of Monday morning furnishes the following additional particulars The river presented a grand appearance.

We have never seen such a river flood. The most fearful forebodings as to the consequences to the crops are reasonably entertained. Much wheat has been borne by on the current, and signs of damage to the growing corn also appear. This is a lamentable visitation for Virginia. We already hear estimates setting down the minimum loss at a million of dollars.

Yesterday morning, to the general surprise, the river had fallen eight feet. A fall nearly as rapid as was the rise. The freshet reached its highest mark about 6 o'clock Saturday evening. It was then four inches higher than the freshets of 1833 and '3G. There is a stone near the top of the abutment on the southern side of Mayo Island, inscribed Peter Spain, That stone marked the great freshet of that year.

The present freshet nearly covered it lhe captain of the Lynchburg packet, reports that alter bis leaving Lvnchburgli on Wed ncsday, it rained for 10 or 12 hours as hard as he ever knew it. to rain for 15 minutes. The rise was the most sudden since 180 4. We are afraid a melancholy account will have to be rendered ol the destruction to the crops by the freshets. In Powhatan, we understand 4000 worth of wheat in stacks lias been swept away by the flood, in all the plantations bordering on James River there must be more or less injury sustained.

New York and Albany Railroad. We are gratified to perceive, by the proceedings of the Common Council, thatihis important work is to he commenced by private enterprise, in Dutchess co. on the "2d of August next, and in Rensselaer co. two days after, and that the Mayor and Common Council have accepted the invitation of the Company to be present at the breaking of ground among the rich farmers of Dutchess co. We trust that the impetus given this road, by the country interests, will be seconded by the city of New York.

Post. We hops the Common Council will take the precaution to ascertain beforehand whether anything else is to be broken save the ground. The ghity of such an enterprise can scarcely compensate for a twelve hours' fast. Paupers.

it is, nevertheless, a very decent looking sheet. It supports the administration of Mr. Tyler, and. rows up the Clay men. Indeed, were it not for the name of the thing, we should think that the Major had fallen back, fairly and squarely, upon broad Democratic ground, and was fully prepared to do battle in behalf of equal rights, laws and privileges.

Opposed to a National Bank in favor of a Tariff for revenue an equalization of the currency founded upon a specie basis a strict maintenance of the public faith the mill tax, all this, we think augurs well. The Editor says that Democracy must rule in this country," a fact of which we have long beea convinced. "The Country." The papers generally represent that laborers are greatly needed in the country and that any quantity of stout, able bodied men may find employment there. We have no doubt of it but the information is not sufficiently definite to be of much service to those in want. The country is rather a large sort of a place, and in starting for it, a laborer would scarcely know which road to take.

Besides, he might travel a considerable distance without finding that particular portion of country where his labor is wanted. Would it not be well for journals giving this invaluable information to be a little more explicit 3 At present it don't amount to much. The Toll Collector Outwitted. A body of Irishmen, who were some time since employed at work on one side of the Thames, and lodged on the other, on their return from labour one evening, asked the toll gatherer at the bridge they crossed, how much a man was allowed to carry over, and was told in reply to carry as much and what they chose. Taking him at his word, each man mounted a comrado upon his shoulders, and pa3ring a single toll, marched over, much to the chagrin of the collector, whose exposition of the law proved so unprofitable.

The story is told in the London papers as an actual occurrence. Riches of Oregon. The report of the Hon. Mr. Pendleton, on so much of the President's Message as relates to a chain of Military Posts from Council Bluffs to the Pacific Ocean, mentions the following as among the internal riches of Oregon brown, white, and black bear, elk, wolf, tiger cat, foxes, antelope, panther, polecat, Also, buzzards, crows, hawks, blackbirds, owls, fishing hawks, gulls, cormorants, coons, Let's go to Oregon, by all Clay Clubs The formation of Clay Clubs, and the running up of that banner lately, has been responded to in Louisiana in a manner very unsatisfactory to the Federalists.

The Commercial Advertiser says The Presidential flag is hoisted in a State election in Louisiana, inscribed with the name of Mr. Clay and the election is lost. So will it be elsewhere, unless the Whigs grow wise in time. The election in this State is approaching; and we have State issues cuough with our oppononts upon which to go to the people. We pray our friends, therefore those who will go to the convention to eschew, for the present State campaign, Presidential politics.

Keep aloof from these make no Presidential addresses or nomination at the State convention and we can beat the enemy. Multiply the issues mix up national politics with those of the State and the contest will be exceedingly doubtful. Be wise, therefore, in time." The Providence Chronicle denies having expressed itself, as we stated, in reference to the absentees from Rhode Island urging those I who had left the State "from an apprehension that the government of their choice would force them into its service to come back We have looked at the paragraph again, and find that it referred particularly to such as had e.r pressed themselves favorably to an extension of suffrage, It reads thus. Come Back To that class of absentees, (and we understand they are numerous,) who left the State from the mistaken idea that the authorities would press them into the ranks and who now remain beyond its borders from fear, because they heretofore have expressed themselves in favor of an extension of Suffrage, nay, advocated it and fearlessly believing that the Government will proceed against them, need have no apprehension 011 that ground. There, neighbor, now don't get into a fluster again.

The Shamrock Tragedy. The Montreal Times of Saturday states that the remains of four or five of the passengers in the Shamrock, had been picked up near Longeuil. The Transcript states that the body of another victim that of a girl apparently 9 or 10 years of acre, was picked up near the new market on Friday, the face much burned and disfigured. The Times more than mtimates that circumstances are transpiring every day, calculated to create a belief that the number of those on board, and of tho lost, has been very much un derated. In proof of this, it states that "one of the hands now in the Montreal Hospital, a man accustomed to large bodies of emigrants, declared, with confidence, that, at least two hundred passengers were on board the Shamrock when she blew up.

He accounted for the crowded state of the steamer by explaining that "the boisterous weather induced tho passengers to leave the barges and that subsequent to the accident, the barge which escaped was too high out of the water to afford any facility for escape to those who were immeised in the water."

In the Senate on Monday, a memorial in reference to Mexican affairs as presented by Mr. Wright, and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. A memorial of ship owners, merchants and others, against restrictive duties was presented and referred. The Tariff bill was received from the House, read twice, ordered printed, and laid upon the table, Mr. Benton introduced his bill for the repeal of the Bankrupt Act, and made a speech vindicatory of his course in relation to it He considered it an infringement upon the rights of the States, an interference with their insolvent laws, and hence unconstitutional.

Mr. Berrien oh jected said that the Senate had passed its judgment, and would n't reverse it, and moreover that it was a very excellent and salutary law. The vote was then taken with the following resultayes 21, noes 21 lost. Several bilk on Speaker's tahle, ordered to be engrossed on Saturday, were passed and sent to the House. General orders and private bills consumed the remainder of the day.

In the House Mr. W. C. Johnson moved to suspend the rules, so as to enable him to introduce a bill for the relief of the States lost, without a division. Mr.

Arnold also moved to suspend, his object being to get in a bill to reduce the pay of members of Congress lost Territorial business being the special order, the Senate bill for the armed occupation of Florida was taken up, and after a long discussion, and one immaterial amendment, passed. The House then adjourned. Inquest. The Coroner held an inquest this morning on the body of a white woman, found floating in the water at the foot of Butler street, in the Sixth Ward. Deceased was apparently about twenty five years of age, and clad in a green muslin de laine dress with a pink figure, cape round her neck, dimity petticoat, white flannel chemise, white satin jean corsets, and white stockings with green elastic garters.

Verdict "Supposed to have been drowned by being found in the water." Peter Parley Defeated probably. The Bay State Democrat of last evening gives returns from fourteen towns in the Ninth Congressional District, from which it appears that there is no choice for a member to rill the place left vacantby thedeath of Mr.Hastings. Wilkinson (Dera.) has 1393; Goodrich, (Fed.) 1360; Jackson, (Abolition) 540; Scattering, 36. Peter has not received a majority even in his own town which is, or was, strongly Federal. There is a falling off of votes, ascompared with the last election.

exclusion of all others namel the losses at play, and the landlord's bill mine host was generally the last to suffer, and, of course, had nothing to apprehend on the score of ultimate loss, knowing also, that whole souled fellows," like his guests, were alwa3supto the mark. Thus encouraged at the fountain head, the sport" was sure to be repeated, improving in spirit and extent at each successive repetition and by and by, when arrested in their innocent pastimes by the strong hand of outraged law, it was sufficient to induce this unbending opponent even to relax his hold by whispering in his ear the magic words whole souled fellows." And community generally were nothing loth to recognize the validity of the extenuating plea; for did not every body know that when Messrs. Rattle, Flash and Fearnaught were themselves when not exoited by stimulants nor bent upon mischief they were patterns of gentlemen noble hearted chaps nay, whole souled fellows Most assuredly they did and although such little slips as street brawling, violence seduction, might now and then result from their indiscretion, still, young people must sow their wild oats, occasional sprees must be tolerated, and the world, meanwhile, must be lenient. Sllpli ra 00. ii nn( t.n .1 ooy, ao me suite oi inings icrmer ly but itrequires little acumen to discover that a wondrous change, for the better, has recently come in fashion.

Intemperance, fortunately, was never redded in law as a palliative of crime thut is, in theory but that much leniency has, in fact, been extended to criminals wiose misdeeds originated in rum craziness (metamorphosed by the courts into partial none can doubt. And we are not prepared to say that this was morally wrong for ail know that crimes which have startled the world by their enormity have been committed by inebriates, who, on recovering: their senses, have been as much appalled as any one at the contemplation of them but still, to admit such a piea, in lorm, would be to undermine the foundations of justice itself. The change to which we have referred, however, has its origin in a lack of necessity for leniency on the grounds described in short, in that sublime reformation which has, in a great measure, utterly renovated the whole social fabric, and whose benign influences are deepening and extending themselves every day. People begin to entertain different notions of spirit, enthusiasm, and youthful ardor, from what they did in years gone by, and are apt, now a days, to designate the frantic exhibitions produced by the maddening wine cup with proper names: "whole souled fellows" of the olden time are now regardsd as guilty desperadoes, and their apologists are few indeed. We see no objection to the phrase itself on the contrary, we think it a good and expressive one.

Whole souled fellows" may now be seen exerting themselves in theatres far different from those which heretofore witnessed their exploits. They are now engaged, actively and zealously engaged, in promoting the cause of philanthropy, in its thousand diversified forms. You may see them in temperance meetings in benevolent associations of various kinds in lyceums, lecture rooms, reading rooms, and even in the Sabbath School. Here they find employments worthy of their best and in prosecuting them with zeal and fidelity are, inuceu, earning the title to whole souled fel lows." Roystering is going rapidly out of fash ion sprees, even occasional ones, are looked upon with loathing, and in a very short time there will be no such thing as "fashionable vices." Is not this a consummation devoutly lu ue wisneu Fatal Occurrence Four Lives Lost. On the night of the 9th inst.
