sns Gazette Of yesterday attempts 10 bring disre-
puse on the administration, and particularly upon
sAe Post once Department. BY charging the present
arrangement Of the mails in this state to the ac-
count OF Mr. Collamer. The editor however stuti.
ass sn's charge in great degree, and in manner
ones Tor II IN the same article by accounting for il
IN the only true way. He says much Of this con-
sosion, It cannot b. doubted, results from maxim,
1eokuk distributing ofice.o And again. he saws.
sSs are arare that Keokuk, by the order, is merely
sdistributng office for northern and southern mails;
end were this limitation generally understood
and observed, little no coil would be feIt. But
such 10 not the fact" And why is il not the factp
q We are credibly informed, the Postmaster a
Asokuk has sent urgent letters to Chicago, Terre
Haute, Vincennes, and Indianapolis, reque sting the
Postmasters to forward direct to Ms office all the
knowing much Of the geography Of Iowa, they have
complied in many instances, and the consequence
has been that eastern mail matter has come through
THE ONCE directed to the D. o. at Keokuk, with
hundreds Of letters that had to be sent back not only
= this place but a. high north as Davenportl
Now, instead Of being successful in aiming stab
st the administration, the editor himself has shown
that the administration is BY no means blamewor-
ehy, or obnoxious to his charge that Mr. ColIamcrs
. administration has proved signal failure" We
ere happy to inform the editor and the public that by
) letter from Washington, received yesterday, we
learn that orders have been issued for all matter

THE RISE IN RED RIvER.-We hare
already noticed the tremendous rise in
Red River, and the mails received yester-
day, bring us some most melancholy news
concerning it. The town of Alexandra
was four feet under water on the llth,
and nearly every plantation between
Shreveport and Grand Ecore is either
destroyed or seriously injured. II 10
nearl y the same case with Little River
The desola,ion is terrible. In many cases
all the corn and cotton is destroyed, and
barns, fences, gin-houses and cattle, all
swept away by the flood. To many the
ruin will be irretrievable. Several mil.
lions in value have been lost. The Alex
andria Republican of the Ilth, says:
"The good people Of Front street were
all astir on Thursday afternoon, at the un-
common sight of large house coming
down stream. 1t was known 10 be Tho
gin of Col. De Russy, which caved in It
Grand Ecore on the day previous. A
pretty good idea Of the rapidity Of the cur.
rent can be formed from the speed Of this
house. 1t left its homestead about four
o'clock on Wednesday, and arrived here
about three o'clock on Thursday, the dis.
lance by water being 100 miles"
The Natchitoches Chronicle, Of the 18th
inst, has the following
"This calamity came upon US suddenly
when the whole valley was blooming
with cotton blossoms, and The planters ex-
pected still to make tolerable crops, dee
spite the lateness of the season and the
incessant rains. But we have now 10 re.
cord new calamity, and it is, that all
those crops scattered over the whole coun-
try off from the river, are being rapidly
destroyed by the army norm. The de-
struction of the entire crop, with very in
considerable exceptions, may now be re.
garded as complete. There will not b
made corn enough TO feed the population
and the stock left, and the last are now
suffering dreadfully for grass, a. all their
old feeding grounds are under water. 70
add to these ills, if airy were needed, to
greatly feared that unless we have fire.
quent rains to wash off the sediment left
by the receding waters, malaria will b
generated, fatal to the public health--and
thus our cup of ills will run over, indeed!
The woods around this town are now filled
with cattle, driven across the river TO keep
them from starving. This is sad pic.
ture We only regret that il is all true.

Most OF our readers RENE mher the story Of the

whereabouts Of large amount Of money-his pre-
vailing upon the Warden and City Marshal OF
Charlsstown, TO accompany him to the locality In

then making his escare-al this will be remember
Cd. He Was arrested on she 2oth ultimo, in store
in Boston, by OF the Police. He states that AZ.

Ut the end OF three days. came to Of the huts Of
the Indian settlement, with feet blistered that he
could scarcely walk and stomach which had taken
no food since his departure. Having money,
he pulled . new black silk handkerchief from his

He next made his wsy TO Portsmouth, New Hamp-
shirs and finally arrived At OATH, sIsne, just two
weeks after leaving the excavation" Here he
shipped on board fishing smack, determined to be
thenceforth IN honest man and 70 earn an honest

this business until few days previous to his ap.
prehension, when wishing TO visit his wife, he came
to Boston, and while seeking her place OF abode he
was arrested. " But" said he you have now got

The accomplished Professor ME.cHAm--every
Vermonter who has ever been near Middlebury

TO other ATTITUDES, and which was elected during

ALABAMA LEcIsLAruRE.-lts seems to
be settled tina, the Locos have a majority
OF only ten in the House, and the Wing,
one majority in the Senate.
The Huntsville Chronicle says: 1t is
reported that four of the Democrats elect
ed are Taylor men, and will vote in the
election for United States Senators for
gentlemen who will sustain the admins
tration. Mr. McMullen Of Butler, it is
said, is pledged 10 vote for Taylor Sena-
tors. lfthis information be correct, and
We have no reason to doubt it, there will
be tie in the House, so far as the Sena-
torial election is concerned; and as the
Taylor men have a majority of one in the
Senate, we may confidently expect the
election Of Senators friendly to the admin
istration Of Gen. TAYLOR.
