The south Of France experienced on the 18Th an
affecting visitation. The heavy and inees.ant rains
Of the day and night before inundated the whole
country, destroying life and property to unparaL
eled extent. Railroad viaducts, houses, &C., were
swept away over and adjacent to water courses.

IL Is true that the German governments say that the
matter has been arranged In the best way, but THE
PEOPLE should not believe the assertion. Six weeks
ago, when he was on his way, and to his native
place, in the kingdom Of Wurtemburg, he heard, in
the village Of Herdenheim, the national song Of
"Schleswig Holstein" From this circumstance he
had taken courage, inasmuch it occurred in a re-
mote spot, hedged in by mountains. In this SYM
pahy he foresaw reaction Of public opinion in pol
tics. He had been told that the force Of public
opinion had influenced the two chief German powers
Austria and Prussa) in favor Of the German cause
cause which had found its most devout defenders
among the small German princes. This public opin-
ion manifested itself in all south Germany for Schles
wig Holstein, as well for the Lubbock railroad
question. "What God joins let no tear asun-
der" In both matters foreign power inimically
steps forward against the German interests. In other
assemblies particularly in the society of Gsrnania,
at Frankfort-on-the-Mane) where he had discussed
this topic, it was readily seen and acknowledg-
ed. The greater part Of the patriotic Schles-
wig Holsteiners had convinced themselves of the
near relationship which existed be,gosa their cause
and that of Lubec. The sympathy in
the south was so fraternal for TIE north that, in
case of need, numerous bands OF volunteers would
flock to its assistance. But he feared matters would
not greatly mend until foreign politics were placed,
under national contrel-until German parliament
called into existence, whose commons should
hold its sessions where the Die, now convenes.
