The Flood i'm the Mississippi, etc.

ST. LOUIS, ednesday, ApII TT, I6Jo.
Frghtr consequences are likely to ensue along the
Lower Mississippi which is higher in some places
than ever known before by the accession Of the
bned floods from the upper rivers running into the
Mssis ssippi which are rising from st. Paul down.
The Missouri and Illinois Rivers both high and
rising and all their tributaries at food hight.
The high water is occasioDed by the heavy rams,
which have extended through the whole Western
and North Western country. The usual Spring noun
tain rice has not yet taken place, and should it do so
before the present flood subsidies, the whole lower
country doubtless Will be inundated.

PROPOSES TO ADMIT THEM.-While the late
canvass was progressing in New York, Horace
Greeley is reported to have delivered speech
at Ulster, in that State, in which he expressed
the following sentiments upon the admission Of
new States:
Whatever might be said Of the policy of ex-
cludng slave State, be thought that they
would never be able to exclude slave State on
the gronnd of il being slave State. When a
community is formed, and with slavery, and
says we propose to come into the Union as a
State, they would not be able to go behind her
own action, or interfere with her sovereignty
SO far as to prevent her coming into the Union
with slavery, so as she WIS Republican in form.
He stated this, not as his opinion, but as a de-
duction from history. For instance, suppose
that Cuba should come into the Union land he
did not desire that she should; he desired that
she should not), and had formed State Gov
ernment, they would never be able to keep her
out because she was a slave State
Another point. He thought that experience
had settled the matter, whatever we might say
of Popular Sovereignty or Of the rights Of the
people, that the principle obliquely laid down
in the Cincinnati Platform, and more delibe-
rately expressed in the Presidents Message,
that the appropriate time for q State to decide
for herself when she will have, or when she will
not have slavery, is when she comes TO ask adj
mission into the Union, is practically settled.
He did not say he would not like to have il
otherwise, but it was so very difficult to deter
mine when territories should decide this ques-
tion for themselves, that he saw no other course
of action than to say that when they come to
frame a State Government they shall decide fol-
themselves whether they shall have slave
State or free State.

TIE ST. LOUIS CONTESTED ELECTION CASE
The testimony in the contested election case in
the st. Louis district of Missouri is now being
heard before Judge H. A. Glover. Witnesses
under oath testify to large numbers of votes
cast in the several wards and precincts by non
residents, by unnaturalized persons and minors
Others voted more than once and upon the
poll-book there are hundreds of names of per-
sons who do not and never did reside in the
city. Witness, who was severely cross-ques-
toned by Barrett the successful candidate, re-
fused to answer question as to whom he voted
for Barret repeated the question several
times and, getting no answer, said at last. in a
pet, "You are not ashamed, are you, of the
way you voted for Congressman ?" "Yes sir,
am" Barret put on an air of triumph, but
Blair was not quite satisfied, aud asked the man
again for whom he voted The answer was II
voted for Barrett" A general laugh ensued
and Barret acknowledged himself sold.

notwithstanding to letter in the st.
Paul (Min.) Pioneer, the people of Dacotah have
completed an independent temporary organi-
zation of their Territory, to continue until Con-
gress shall give them the usual form of Terri
torial government. State officers were ap-
pointed a legislature convened, laws passed,
&c., and the Minnesota code of 1857 adopted
The reasons assigned for this step were that the
people were left entirely without laws, except
those promulgated by the Indians surrounding
them, or the still worse code as laid down by
Lynch and Bowie that Dacotah was fast at
tanning the unenviable notoriety reached by
Texas in its early days, as the resort of thieves
and outlaws; that disputes had already arisen,
and would continue to arise among commu-
nifty who were strangers to one another which
would require some authorized and recognized
system OF law to amicaby adjust; and that the
absence of laws kept away emigration. In vim
dicatiOn of their course was cited the example
Of California and Oregon under similar cir
cumstanCes

The Paraguay FxpeditlOn-what Uncle Sam

has got to Contend with.
The San Francisco Times, in reviewing lee
ture recently delivered by Rev. Mr.. Collins, on
the difficulties between the United States and
Paraguay, says:
The grounds of difference between the two
governments, we understand to be: First--The
refusal on Lopez's part to ratify treaty form
ed between our government aud the govern
ment of Paraguay. Secondly-Refusal to in
demnify trading company, formed mainly of
Americans, for damages done to them in dis
solving their company. Thirdly-Firing into
the U. S. Surveying steamer, Water Witch.
All these acts, we understand, Lopez justi-
ies; aud tells the Americans to come on as be
is ready for them. Now, it is question of
some moment to ascertain whether Lopez has
the material to sustain himself in this inde-
pendent position. On this point, we learn,
through Mr.. Collins, that on the river Paraguay,
the only possible avenue to approach lopez s
country he has constructed an ugly looking
fort-planned and fortified with all the skill OF
modern science by French and English engi-
neers; that this fortifcation is situated on bend
of the river, twenty miles above its junction
with the Parana; that its eighty or one hun
dred guns all bear upon this turn of the river,
so that the moment vessel in ascending the
stream passes this point, the guns of the whole
bCal upOu lA1 tua1 tuSlC 10 uO btbtiuS
out of the range of cannon shot, either by pass
ing by on the other side, or landing from the
river below, so as to take the fort in the rear.
Now all of this looks as If Lopez had counted
the cost, and could sustain his position by weigh
ty arguments. In a sham fight got up to try
the effect of the battery, we are told that YES
sci was blown to pieces by one discharge from
the guns Of the fort We must remember that
whatever military power there is in the coun-
try has head, Lopez being sole dictator, and
that he wields all the resources of the country,
financial as we'll as military: and that whenever
q blow is struck by him, it will come with all the
stunning force which this concentrated vigor
will give it,
1t will thus be the policy of Lopez to keep
the naval forces from passing the fort; and time
and the climate, will be his efficient auXliaries.
1t should be added that the two frigates cannot
enter the river Paraguay at all, as vessels draw
ing over eleven feet of water cannot pass the
bar at the mouth of the river.
Now all this does not look very favorable to
the success of the Administration in this matter;
but there is still a hope that the matter may be
amicably adjusted. And Judge Bowlin is TO
precede the hostile demonstration, for the pur-
pose of accomplishing this. If peaceable meas
ures fail, however, we need not think we are to
have another Mexican contest. These Para
guans are different men, and differently officer
ed from our late enemies of the Spanish Ameri-
can race.
