 1He Tarif:-Thc following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman in Charleston, s. C. to his friend in Congress, dated February 7th, 1882.
 " Our eyes are all turned anxiOusly on your deliberations for the decision of the great question which disiracts "nr Southern c""n- try. Mr. Haynes speech. although wc rx prcted something exlravaSant, came upon us like a thunslerbOIt. The dark ,cnl"rs which he has mingled in his picture Of our poverty and wretchtdness are considered. by all inirI ligent men whom I have heard speak Uf the subject, as the pl1antOilis Uf an excited ilnagi- nation. We look about Us in vain for the signs ofthc distress he s0 t'l'lurnt!y describes. We have wandered through Ihe City, and searched for ile signs of trs6lati"D; in those parts where business has ever beeii done, hut in vain. We have examined the custom. house entries, and are astonished that he. 1Mr. H.) should have made such an assertion with re- gard iO Onr commerce, without aD examna liUn of facts, tO which he has always had ac- cess and; with regard tn the husiness of the City, it may be safely asserted that there nev- CT Was ilIe same amount done as there is al this day. Mr. Hayne complains that it is done by Northern men, and with Northern capital which consider as an unfortunate ihasmnch as it proves (if itprovrs any lhing) that it is only want of native en. rrgy and enterprise that prevents its being done by native capital and native men."

 7he Flood.-The Obi" since our last no. tice has continued to rise rapidly. Early on Sunday morning it Book fresh start, and continued during the day to rise al the rate of about 8 inches per hour. Yesterday il, rose at tue rate or about one inch per hour. "verh"wing the greater part Of the third and fourth wards. Water street is na.isable for boats of almost any tonnage. The Robert Fulton, which left yesterday for L""is'ilIr was obliged tU back up the Street to clear the Uncle Sa.n.' Fhe office ofihe Conner. cial Advertiser, at the corner Of Water and Front, is foudrd with water about four feet on the first floor. Our publishing office al the corTer Of Columbia and Main is surround. ed with water, but we hope tO reach it this morning by small craft.
 The destruction of property is immense- cellars flied with walrr-bUard-y yards swept of every stick of timber-and some t0uscs already on the move.

It is undoubtedly the greatest rise ever known. A friend. whu arrived in the Napoleon from above, reports nineteen houses on the way, which may be expected in due season. The lower part of Allcghany Town, opposite Pittsburgh, was literally a. float. The Steam Saw Mill had left it's moOrings. Above wheeling a ware house of -four and whiskry was lodged safely at the head of an island. At Lawrenceburg, below us, the houses were secured by good cables to fine hearest bluffs-this however we should not be wilngtU vuuch for, as many entertain serious doubts whether any vcstiges can be left by 'his t,ne. There is scarcely ground enough to be seen at Marietta for the dove to rest upon. NO one can say when the W waters will su,side. The namber of houses aAuai must present a singular spectacle. They are not generally worth much, though their nh- srnre at this tune must occasion cOnsiderabi" suffering. Both yesterday and to-day the
