DEsTRUcTIoS OF THE LEvEE AT YAZoo Pass
The Whote Of the Yazoo Country Inundsfed. Notice
mas already been made Of the destruction of the
levee at the mouth OF Yazoo Pass but we were not
aware until last night that so great destruction OF
property had been wrought in the Yazoo country
IL seems that the levee, upon which thousands Of
dollars have been expended and upon which work. !.
men have been employed for two or three years,
was entirely demolished, last week, and as a con.
sequence the whole country is inundated. We
nave learned of no lives lost, but the losses sus.
tained by the citizens of that section of country is
great. By this breakage fatboatmen can enter the
fazoo river above Vieksburg, and we learn that
today two datboats from this city, laden with pro-
duce, will depart for the Yazoo country-Menpkis

richest objection of cold Hickory" 1t
is that Col Hartman got cut the papers "

have been naturalized in this county in
the past several years. Would not Old
Hickory" have been very much tickled to
have pocketed the fees which Col. Har-

"Old Hickory" have refused (were he a

had been selected by these "nineteen-
twentieths' to act as their lawyer, would
he not have also taken their money p
The foreigner only asks for his vested
Constitutions, and he only pays the regular
fees established by the legal profession for
assisting him in securing his rights. Col.
Hartman was the lucky fellow who was
probably more than any other S:aunton

this reason the people OF Augusta county

silent and see responsibility thrown upol
Col. II. when We kneU that it was unjust
ungenerous and unkind. BY such motive
have we been governed in the penning o

Parodi's Concert.

Our citizens on Wednesday evening en-
joyed the pleasure Of attending one Of
Mile Parodi's Concerts, assisted by Mad
anne Patti Strakosch, Maurice Stra.
kosch, and Signor Leonardo. The au-
dience was large and fash ionable, and the
entertainment enchanting. We were more
charmed with the sweet, winning voice of
Madame Patti, the soft melody Of whose
strains tell with bewitching influence up
on the ear, than with the clear musical
powers of Mad'lle Parod,. Mad'lle Pa
rodl's superiority consists alone in the
strength and volume OF her voice, while
Madame Patti excels in that sweet, touch
ing melody that steals to and awakens the
tenderest emotions Of the heart. The ore
controls the admiration-the other wins
the soul--the one astonishes you with
its power-the other enchants you with
It's lu,e-like euphony. The Star Spanged

the masterpiece of this enterta,nment.-

enthusiasm which we have never before
