"Henry Wilder, Of GreenvlIe, IN tins
country died on yesterday morning after
an illness Of only n few hours. Several
have died of disease the most fearful and
appalling. Physicians have no knowledge
oflhe disease, and stand horror stricken TO
witness their patients struck down in mo-
menl and hurried TO the tomb in a few
hours. History gives no account OF so
terrible and fatal a malady. In all cases
persons attacked have died. Some twelve
deaths have already occurred. The first
symptoms are chlIness, severe vomiting
paroxysm, congestion Of Ihebrain, followed
Immediately by death"

SECOND FLOOD!

In the Spring of 1871, about month
earlier in the year than this, we had 10
record one of the greatest lreshetS that mac
ever been known IN our river. We then
called it "the flood" and we have now
second flood TO record. During the latter
part of last week, the rains commenced,
and at intervals, poured down IN torrents.
We mentioned in our last, that our river
was rising, but we had no idea then, that
we should have such a rise! The rams
commenced again on Monday and contln-
ned without intermisSion during the day
The next was as fair and balmY day as
one could wish, or hope for IN the hcKIe
month of April. But the succeeding gave
ominouS signs that the storm King was
abroad; and late in the evening IL bIeW
perfect gale, 0nd the rains again deScehueu
in torrents, accompanied with thunder
and lightning. This was, we hope, Tue
clearing up shower, though the skies are
still lowering and the prospect Is mat we
snail have more rain. Our river has risen
with almost unprecedented rapidly ana IS
still rising. All the low lands on lllIs sac
are overlooked, and a rise of foot or TWO
more will overflow the other SIDE we
fear that immense damage has been done
bv this freshet on all the plantations Dor
dering Oh the river aud other water cour-
SEES. We await to bear the results, above
and below, with fearful anxiety.
p. S. Since the above was written our
river has commenced falling, the weather
has become much cooler and prospect IS
that the rains are over.-CotHmdHS Dem'

FOREIGN SUMMARY.
THE ENGLISH PRESS ON THE OREGON
 .. QUESTION.


 Wegave in the Union of Saturday the brief debate m the House of Commons in refer ence to tho Oregon negotiation. Compared With the tone of Lord John Russel, and even ol oir Robert Peel, on the same subject, in aPflt last, these recent speeches appear upon ,ne ,,, surface singnlarly pacific and amicable. we trust they are as sincere as we desire .heiii to DC. But t is impossible, at the same 'inle' not 10 perceive the tone of warlike pre- ParatIons which Sir Robert indicates as be- coming, even ill these times, the situation of England. One remark of Sir Robert Peel seei'is worthy 5ai special attention, as demo- ,"'s |, q Spiilt ana vIew m the matter which the s'lsi.sa l government has never before shown. speaking otthe proposal made to Mir. Paken- nun ,, ny dr Buchanan, Sir Robert says: s"e"'ef or a9t thdt proposal ought to haue 0et" "ecfpfed 1 caaaot say." Mir.

We considered it's al'cie seni-ofiicial from the first. The re- lharAS oi Sif Robert seems somewhat to con. i.fin that opinion. Time will, however, siio" whether the British government in- !ends' as these things would in some measure inaieste. ID renew the neSalialoa on tho basis ol the 49lh parallel. Meantime the iaa7hsftfse of lhe Bfilsh press, ill view of the pfoceedngs of Congress, is somewhat less 1 nacile than at fest upon the reception of the Presidents message. The reason for the suddeh cha4ge may easily be divined Symp- toms el divided opinion i'll the House of 1 representatives iiaeapfeaged.
