the Ineanness and political degradation Of ,

more last week. 1t is time that the indepen-

speak out, when body of men, protesting to
speak the wishes Of the Democracy of this
Union, dare to hesitate when the question is
between the gallant soldier and the noble
hearted patriot now filling the chair of the
Vice. Presidency, and some one Of the many
intriguing spirits who aim at displacing him.

The news down the river yesterday is Of
the most gloomy character. We had for,
some time INDUCED II faint hope that the
high waters, which, for some weeks, have
threaten ed us with MI overflow, would SUBJ
side, before the summer floods would reach
us. But we regret to learn that tho rivers
above are rising with unexampled rapidly,
and that an overflow is now inevitable, such
as has not been known since 1916. 1t is be-
lieved that the whole valley Of the Mississip-
pi for upwards Of one thousand miles will be-
q perfect sea and that the present crops Of,
sugar, cotton, corn, and vegetables. In allu-
vial lands, will be entirely destroyed. Such
calamity could be badly borne at any
time but under the present circumstances ii
will destroy the last hopes Of large portion
