LOUISIANA INTERIOR.

THE RIvER-The river and bayou are both still
rising, but very slowly, says the Plaquemine SEN
tinel of the 29h Nothing of a serious import has
happened in this vicinity as yet. Several small
breaks of the bayou evee occurred night before
last, but they were promptly filled up. Every mo-
ment adds to our danger, but nothing like alarm
appears, $50 far as we can perceive) to pervade
the minds of the community. I" We shall see what
we will see"
CREyAssE-The crevasse below Thibodaux still
remains open, and all efforts to stop it have been
abandoned.
CRoPs-Many of our planters, (says the st.
Martinsville Creole of the Oath ut.,) had been in
duced to burn off their stubble cane, previous to the
late cold weather, and some had gone SO far as to
run round it, with the plough, to encourage the
vegetation. These will, most probably suffer
the entire loss of this arm of their crop, and in
deed We fear that all, without exception, will suffer
serious loss, for all have been compelled to confide
in the stubble, from having sustained such injury
from the rotted condition of the plant cane. We
hope for the best, but fear a short crop here.
New CHURcH.-The new Catholic Church in
Thibodaux is fast advancing towards completion.
The Rev. Mr.. Menard, the parish curate, is very
energetic, in pushing forward the work. 1t is
thought that it will be ready for divine service on
Easter Sunday.
CHoLERA.-We learn from the Thibodaux Mi
nerva, that the cholera still continues to rage with
undated fury on the plantation of Mr.. o. Osborn.
He has already lost IA Slaves by this disease A
species of religious fanaticisIn prevails among the
negroes, and they refuse all human aid, and appeal
TO Jesus alone for help and succor.
MARDI-GRAs.-The grand fancy dress and mas
querade ball given at Thibodaux, on Mardi- 6ras,
at the Rough and Ready Saloon, was not, in con-
sequence of the smallpox, so brilliantly attended Al
had been anticipated.

DISASTROUS FIRE-From the Tallahassee SEN
tnel of the Doth, sorry to learn of the entire
destruction by fire of the sugar works upon the
plantation of Col. John G. Gamble at Maintee
South Florida. The fire was accidental, and, al
though every precaution was thought to have been
taken, it had made considerable progress before it
was discovered The engine and appurtenances,
the buildings, some eighty hogsheads of sugar,
quantity of molasses, staves etc., were destroyed
Insurance TO the amount of $4,000 had been ef-
feeted at New Orleans, but still the loss to Col
Gamble is heavy, amounting, as he thinks, to some
$4,000. On the same night the sugar works of
Mr.. Gates, in the Manitee settlement, was also de-
strcyed, and no doubt by accident. Mr.. Gates
works were much smaller, and the extent of his
loss is not stated.

The Woodsman-Serious Accident.

This boat started from New Orleans on Thurs
day last on a voyage to Fort Towson and the
" intermediate points " above the Raft. On FRI
day afternoon, at twenty minutes after O'Clock,
she left Bayou Sara, and, after the engine had
made few revolutions the fue of the star
board boiler collapsed. Two men, hands of the
boat, (names unknown were killed on the spot,
and two negro children, belonging to planter
from South Sarolina, were soon afterwards dis
covered to be dead. About eighty persons, white
males, females and children, together with slaves,
were scalded 1t was the opinion Of the physicians
at Bayou Sara that large number of them would
die and we must here say that the conduct OF the
medical faculty, and the citizens OF Bayou Sara,
was honorable to them men and citizens They
did all in their power to alleviate the sufferings OF
the unfortunate beings, and for this act of human
ity-of spontaneous, generous feeling-are entitled
to the thanks of every one who has heart to feel
for human suffering.
We must also pay compliment to the officers
and passengers on board the steamer Hecla. This
boat arrived at Bayou Sara few moments after
the accident, and all on board volunteered their
assistance 10 the sufferers. Among the most ac-
tive and efficient, we may mention Drs. Shields and
Taylor, Mr.. H. NJ. Hyams and others, who appeared
to be animated only by desire to relieve their fell
low-men, in their hour of utmos' need. Praise,
also, is due to the officers of the Heca who vol
UNFAIRLY offered to take all scalded passengers to
the city who would consent to leave the buildings
in which they We're temporarily placed.
The Woodsman was new, and commanded by
Capt Ankrim. There are several accounts afloat
respecting the cause of the collapse, the truth of
none of which do we know at present

A BIGAMTsT DIsCovERED.-A correspondent Of
the Montgomery Journal, writing from Chambers
county, says Mr.. Joseph Boon, who left that place
three years since, sojourned short time in Mont
gomery, and thence went to New Orleans, and
not having been heard from for many months, his
wife and others supposed that he had fallen a prey
to yellow fever. From New Orleans he assembled
to ST. Louis, and there was smiten with the charms
of Missouri lass, whom he married. The letter
which brought ,idings of him, was one of inquiry,
and from his new wife, who wished to know if-as
she shrewdly suspected-there was another claim
ant for that title. She promptly informed that
he had left wife and three children in Montgom-
cry, Ala, upon the charity of strangers.

rTelegraphed to the Charleston Courier

In the Senate, on Saturday, the oath; Mr.. Hale
objected to the second reading of the Civil List bill
There was a debate on proposition ma lie for the
temporary Government of California, IN which
Messrs. Walker, Hale, Butler, Webster, Calhoun,
Dayton and Douglas participated.
Elm the House, the bill granting lands to Louisiana
and the Post Office appropriation bill were passed,
a discussion arising and speeches made, however,
on the slavery question: which appears to be brought
into every matter that becomes subject of debate
The California State bill was taken up. Mr.. Chap
man made speech, but no decision was had on
any matter that would give an indication of the
feeling of the House.
There was nothing known in Washington in ref
erence to the selection of Gen. Taylor's Cabinet,
beyond the fact that Mr.. Clayton has been desig-
mated as Secretary of State.

SpAIN.-Civil war continues to rage to a fear.
full extent.
GERMANY-The Hungarians have suffered sew
eral new defeats No further steps have been
taken towards the election of an Emperor of Ger
many. The King of Prussia is shy of an imperial
crown, and has addressed circular to the different
courts of Germany, stating his position. Austria
has confirmed all that has been said of the aversion
of Prussia to contribute to the strengthening of
Frankfort particularly by the exclusion of Austria.
THE meaning of all this is not very clear
FRANcE-Reported at Paris that the Assembly
would dissolve in April. New election takes place
the 22d April, and new Assembly meets 18th May.

HoRRIBLE.-TheC Cincinnati Nonpariel says tina

HoRRIBLE.-The Cincinnati Nonpariel says that
one of the most daring attempts at murder by poi
son, was made on the 22d ult in that city, on the
family of Capt. BENEDICT Some malicious scoun-
drel deposited arsenic in the vessel where their
dinner was cooking. The Captain, his wife, two
daughters, Zone of them the wife of R. J. Cheese
brough, one of the partners in that paper, and Ste
pllen Drew, were the victims of this fiendish at
tempt The symptoms of all who partook of the
dinner were the same in every particular-vomit-
ing, chills, cramp, and faintness The lives of two
were despaired of, but all are now out of danger
from the effects of the poison. No clue to the per-
petrator has as yet been gained.

ONO RrvER.-The river has commenced rising
again. On the evening of the 22d ut. there were
full feet water in the canal, and about feet on
the falls. The river is still full of floating ice ;
navigation is not very seriously obstructed, how
ever as the ice is soft. The Louisville Courier
Of the 23d ut. says that navigation may now be
considered as resumed-the mai-boat Ben Frank
lin would start for Cincinnati that morning at II
o'clock, from her usual landing. The steamer Hi
hernia was to leave Cincinnati the same morning
for Pittsburg.

TURKISH PRoGREss.-We perceive, says the N.
Y. Herald, in an interesting account of grand
ball lately given at the Hotel de Vile at Paris that
the Turkish Ambassador was there, with his wife.
This is something wonderful for Turk, to have a
wife instead of wives. 1t is, however, the fact,
that this improved Turk has but one wife. He,
with his one lady-wife, attended the ball, and her
appearance is thus described in the French account
of her:
Another queen of the .fete was the wife of the
new Ottoman Ambassador, Madame Cellimarchi,
young Grecian lady. This fair creature shone,
not like the other ladies present, by The loads of
diamonds which covered her person, but by her
beauty. 1t was the Grecan type of beauty in all
its purity. 1t was the beauty of Phidas and Prax-
tees, the marble of Paros, wonderfully softened
and animated with life. A crowd of admirers fol-
lowed her through the drawing rooms.

- SWORD PREsENTATIoN.-The 22d ult was the
day selected for the ceremony of presenting sword
to the gallant Leut-Col. Matthew M. Payne, of the
U. S. Army, which had been previously voted by
the Virginia Legislature. The Hall of the House
of Delegates was the place selected for the purpose
and the ceremonies were of the most gratifying and
exciting character. The sword was very elegant
one, on which was inscribed" Presented by Vir-
ginia to her distinguished son, Lieut. Col Matthew

BAINs TELEGRAPH-The construction of the
new line of telegraph, extending from Washington
through Baltimore and Philadelphia to New York,
is in steady progress, and will be brought into ope
ration with the least possible delay. We learn
from an article in the Boston Atlas that similar
line of telegraph will be constructed between New
York and Halifax, connecting these cities with
New Haven, Bridgeport, Providence, Portland,
Augusta, Bangor, PASSPORT, St Johns, N. B., and

"TEMPoRA MUTANTUR ET'' GALLI.-The ami
versary of the notable event in the history Of
France, says the New York Evening Post, has
recalled to our mind some facts which are better
worth thinking about now than when they occurred
Odlon Barrot said, in 1880, that Louis Philippe
was the best of republics He is now Prime Minis
ter of one which he doubtless thinks second best.
Shortly after the decree of March, aboshing
imprisonment for debt, the deputy sheriffs waited
in body on the Provisional Government and CON-
planned of the loss they would sustain, asking for
the repeal of the at.
A deputation OF vocal and instrumental must
clans waited on the Provisional Government to
give in their adhesion, and requested them to
decide upon the best method Of singing The Pro-
vsionas promised to consider the question with the
attention it deserved.
On the 10th April, the Provisional Government
sent begging circular letters to army and navy Off
GERS and to village curates, requesting them to en-
courage donations to the State.
The Amours Secretes of Louis Philippe, the most
proper of sovereigns were hawked about the streets
in March.
Madame Rachel, the tragedian, chanted the
Marseillaise with a tr-colored flag accompaniment
two notes out of tune and the whole indefinitely
out of time.
Ten thousand workmen carried dirt from the
north side of the Champ de Mars to the south side,
and then carried it back again.
An immense procession of washerwomen and
seamstresses paraded the streets, walking two and
two, bearing flags, and preceded by drums and
trumpets They called themselves the Vesuoians.
Citizen Buchez, the President of the National
Assembly, told the Representatives that they must
pass one bill at least at every sitting 1t was the
only way to act upon the people.
Citizen Barete, of the Faubourg Montmatre,
No. 90, petitoned the National Assembly to decree
plurality of wives.
Citizen Anthony Thouret proposed a jury of
honor to try the editors of newspapers.
Citizen Matthew ode Ia Drome,) proposed the
establishment of government weekly journal to
be read on the church-steps by the curate of the
village, every Sunday after the divine service.
Citizen Portals proposed a tax on tobacco and
celibacy.
Citizen Proudhon announced that the Revolution
of February, 1913, had abolished everything, and
that it was necessary to proceed to the liquidation
of society.
There has been no bon-mot produced by this
affair of February equal to the one of 1880. CAST
mir Perier, the first Minister of the Citzen-k King,
kept down the Republicans with a strong hand.
They consoled themselves by saying, "when our
Casimir is gone, we will be sans-culottes."

The RIvER-Unprecedente FaH-In the "a
hours preceding o'clock last evening, (says the
Memphis Eagle of the Goth ult,) the river had fall
len at this point about 80 inches; and in three days
ending the same hour, it had fallen nearly, if not
fully, IL feet. Once previously there was gorge
of ice at Randolph, and the river fell feet in "a
hours, Immediately thereafter rising in the same
proportion. But in the last II years there has not
been so rapid and continued fall in the river at
this nOinf

ACcIDENT.-Two of the hands of the steamer
Pike No were badly wounded by the parting Of
a hawser on the Goth ult. The steamers Mary
Pell, Tom jefferson and Belle of the West were
pulling at the Pike to get her off the bar at the
mouth of the Miami, when the cable parted, shat
tering the leg of one of the deck hands, and break
ing the arm of a fireman. The line caught on the
bits, or serious injury would have been DONE
The Pike No. was in critical condition, as she
was very hard aground, having ran there in the
fog. The river is rising, however, and we presume
she will be got off without further delay.
