conclusion of the well-timed article annexed, the
Lafayette Ua) Republican yesterday presents us
with painful alternative of results:
FLOOD INEvIrABLE.-There is every indica-

food The Mississippi opposite this city is now al
high stage it attained at any time last year
while the accounts from above showthat the tribu-
ary rivers unusually full and rising. 1t is said
which, if true, shortens the distance traversed by
the river, from twenty four miles to less than four
hundred yards, and necessarily increases the We
lociiy of The current-there being five feet fall al
the cut.oh This circumstance will doubtless ado
to the danger below. Should the Spring rise come
down upon before the present rise shall subside
flood is inevitable; and should no crevasse
similar 10 the one at Bonnet Care last year
it will be another 40 flood. Our authorities SHOULD
be on the alert before it is too late.

COLORADO RAFT AND RIvER-The people OF
the Colorado River rejoicing in the achieve.
ment of the steamer Coorado's safe and successful
entrance into the Colorado River, above the raft.
The Colorado went up as far as Columbus, merely
to show herself This is a facility of incalculabe
value to the people of that region, but it has not
been secured without much labor. The officers of
the steamer Colorado have been two months en-
gagged in severe work, during which time they
hauled their boat about two miles over land, made
several large excavations through banks on heil
ROUTE, and cleared out distance of three miles OF
stumps and timber, all of which, We understand
cost them hard upon $4,000, besides running many
risks of losing their boat from subsiding waters and
other pending calamities.

be, to check that fellow in the enjoyment of his
property
" A correspondent at Miamisburg gives the Day
ton Empire account of the way the laborers on
the Cincinnati and Hamilton railroad served sub
contractor, and how he served them in turn He
had not paid them for sixty and ninety days. so
they resolved that he should go to Dayton with
them, and arrange matters with his principal.
The Empire says this he agreed to do. He
mounted his horse and started, escorted by about
one hundred of his men but arriving in the
burg, he made his escape in a two horse carriage,
which mysterousy appeared at the time. Then
the chase commenced. He was conveyed down
the pike at tremendous speed-hs men after him
horseback and some foot with pistols,
clubs, rocks, etc. They overlook him in Franklin,
knocked down the horses that were hitched to the
carriage, snapped pistols back and forth, until he
finally made his escape. The enraged laborers are
scattered along the line, almost destitute of the
necessaries of life"

Earl Gray, the British Colonial Minister, pro-
poses to cooperate with the colonies Gf the assent
of the United States Government can be obtained)
in such measures as may seem best calculated to
induce colored aborers to emigrate to the British
West Indies, with view to supply the urgent
want Of labor long felt there He recommends that
the privileges of naturalization be extended to emf
grants, and that bounty be granted them on specl-
fled conditions. 1t is proposed FIRST to prepare wi
lagos of from 100 to $50 cottages, with school,
chapel etc. attached, and then, by means OF agents,
to collect parties of emgrants in the United States,
selected from the agricultural classes, who will be
conveyed to their place Of destination at the ex-
pense of the colonies. This matter is made the
subject of yoInminous correspondence between
Earl GRAY and the Governor of Antigua, which is
published in the Jamaica Journal. The subject
was likely to come up before the Jamaica Legisla-
ture, which was on the eve of assembling at last
accounts.
