A heavy storm of rain and hail, accompanied by
vivid lightning and thunder, passed over Peters
burg on Saturday evening. Its duration about
nifty minutes. The Express says During the pre-
vaence of the storm vivid flash of lightning,
commencing apparently in the zenith and coursing
down in northeasterly direction, bore with it three
huge balls of fire. similar to those bursting from

TERRIBLE CREYASSE IN ARKANSAS.

TERRIBLE GREY ASSE IN ARKANSAS.
The Southern mail brings particulars of the Gre
vase in Arkansas, reported previously by tele-
graph. The levees on the Mississippi below Napo-
leon gave way last week, and the break grew rapid
ly larger until the whole neighboring country be-
came submerged. Large plantations, valued at
$50 per acre, were completely covered and nearly
all the live stock swept away; ALL in fact, save the
few who congregated upon little patches Of rising
ground here and there, of some few feet IN extent
In many places private dwellings furnished shell
ter and protection to imam and beast. As in cases
of double tenements somewhat elevated, whites oc-
cupied one end of the building, negroes the other,
while in the intermediate perch cattle would be
huddled thick they could stand. In very
many instances however. the houses themselves
We're deserted, the owners having been compelled to
betake themselves to dugouts, boats and RATS, or
whatever came first to hand.
The suffering and distress of the inhabitants is
described as having been severe in the extreme
Our informant states that up to the time he left
fears were entertained that the levee 'would rive
way in other places below the first break, and all
who could render any effective service were busily
employed catching drift-wood and piling it upon
the levee, and using all other means in their
power to raise it so to curb the impetuous
flood.
Our informant was detained at the landing two
days before he could get boat to send out a yawl
for himself and family, and they finally had to take
the lngomar, (bound for New Orleans,) as far as
Napoleon, where they awaited for the Nebraska
Arrived at Napoleon, he found the citizens boating
through the streets, that worthy burgh having also
been inundated.
The damage done to the fertile country, covered
by this overflow, cannot easily be estimated as in
addition to the actual loss of property the land is
rendered totally unfit for tillage during the present
season. Moreover, it is highly probable that this
influx will cause the waters of the aZoo to bach
upso as to food the rich Delta likewise And if so
material curtailment in the great staple of which
Mississippi is the chief producer, may be expected
for the coming season.

Don't Want Politics.

A good old Democrat of Franklin
county gave US his name, few days
since as a subscriber to the Home
Journal, saying to us at the time, that
he wanted paper that wasn't filled
with politics--that he never intended
again to take party papers, and that
as long as we kept the Journal unin-
huenced by party bias, and subservi.
ant to home interests, as we had done
for twelve months past, that he would
remain lifetime subscriber. Anoth-
cr, on Crow Creek, subscribed, telling
us that he Wanted an independent
paper-one that didn't daJble in poll
tics.
So it is. Every day we are becom-
ing convinced that good Independent,
Southern, home paper is the sort for
the people of Franklin county and
and certainly we ought
to expect hearty and universal sup
port.

The Paris Constitutional of Nj

The Paris Constitutional, of Mon
day. the 2sth, in an article signed "P.
Dubois" throws off the mask on the
slave trade; boldly defends the system
which the French Government have
adopted of purchasing negroes on the
coast Of Africa, and carrying them to
compulsory service in the French An
titles; argues that in no other manner
can prosperity be restored to them;
and ridiculcs the opposition of the
philanthropists. From this manifes-
tation on the palt ofthe leading Gov
ernment print Of France, the infer
ence is that Lord Clarendon's remon-
strances have utterly failed. and that
the revival of the African slave trade
by the Emperor Of the French will be
persevered in.

Joe smith III.

A son of the original Joe Smith, the
Prophet, founder of the Mormons, now
resides at Nauvoo, not having accom-
panied the Saints in their hegira. On
him the Prophets mantle was to have
fallen, and on becoming of age, he
was to have been declared the head
of the Church. Brigham Young is
President of the Twelve Apostles, but
has exercised the Chief Presidency
nominally only as regent, during the
minority of Joseph the younger. The
latter is now about twety-tour years
Of age, and differs essentially from
the Ex-Governor of Utah as to polit-
ical matters, though believing in the
Church as organized by his father
He is also opposed to polygamy, and
other peculiarities of Mormonism as
developed in Utah. 1t is said that
delegations arrive every year from
Salt Lake to receive the blessing of
this youth, and to urge him to as
sumo the leadership of the Church, as
is his right. He is represented to be
endowed with good intellectual fac
ulties, and with fair share of pluck.
A correspondent of the st. Louis
Republican, from whom the Cincin-
natl Gazette gathers these facts, is
very positive that said Joseph intends
to assume the leadership of the Curch
next Spring, and, as method of solv-
ing the Mormon problem, suggests
that cur government should encour-
age the people of Utah in acknowl-
edging him, and thus ridding them
selves Of the traitorous Brigham
The fact that Joe Smith H., is, and
would, under these circumstances, be
pretty sure to continue loyal to the
Federal government, is urged in ia
vor of this project.

BURR AND His PApERs.-The Nor
thern journals are getting pretty well
filled up with matters concerning Aa-
ron Burr and his "Private Letters
If Burr left such letters as is charged,
let them be "private" letters still. No
one but scoundrel could want to
make them "public." Why rake up
poor Burr's ashes at this day! He
erred, grievously no doubt; and the
world punished him. He was Fill
libuster, and his country tried him for
treason. He was legally acquitted,
but irretrievably ruined. With great
talents and varied accomplishments,
ne combined loose morals, but when
he died he left behind ten times worse
men, some of whom stand high in the
regards of the country, and the tomb
stones of others are covered with a
record of virtues which they never
practiced while living. Burr and "his
Victims" if he had any, have long
since passed to a higher tribunal
Leave them with their Judge, and let
their ashes and memories have re.
pose.

Giving them fzankinS.

Ben Lane Posey, of the Marion
american, gets after the present Ala
bama Legislature in the style follow
ing: Clitherall, of Pckens,-the
celebrated 'Aleck b. is the author of
the obnoxious bill. The Legislature
have certainly the same right to med
die with the business affairs of Lauyers
as they have with those of Printers.
But here is what the american says:
A CoNvENTICLE OF AssEs.-The Leg
islature needs a fool-killer very badly,
and we fear his functions would not
be performed until he had killed a
large majority of its members. The
Legislature is doing variety of foolish
and contemplate things, and will, no
doubt before it is done, win as much
contempt as the famous trump parlia-
ment' Of Cromwell. There are al
ways a number of asses who try to
make themselves a notorety bv speech
making, and by tinkering with NE
rights of some person or class. Some
picayune member whose name we
know not has introduced a bill to in
terfere with the rights of printers. It
reduces the printers charge for adver.
tising, in the cases of Administrators,
Executors and Guardians.
Now, publishers of papers, have
fixed rates of charges, and they charge
these persons just as much and no
more than they charge other people.
We should like to know what right
or power the legislature has to enact
that a publisher shall charge an Ad.
ministrator less than he charges an.
other person for the same work. Such
law is unequal, unjust, and and ut
terly contemplate. And as an effort
by the legislature to cripple and break
down the press, a great public benefit,
it is equally despicable.
We propose as an amendment to

U A few weeks since we called
upon each subscriber to the Journal
to send us one additional name beside
his. One in TulIahoma writes thus !:

to the Home Journal. Now I send

And now we say, too, who will beat
it? Let us receive many such letters
before another issue. We feel like
Dragging because the Journal is ex-
tending it's circulation so rapidly in
advance of our expectations this year.
1t is really encouraging. But while
we are glad to get subscribers from
any quarter whatever, yet we would
prefer to see Franklin county come
more gallantly up.

TO REER WHO Is DEAREST.

You told me that you loved me
As you "never loved anoher;"
That within your bosom burned
A feeling you could not smoth.r,-
That forth it wildly, mady lcpt,
Tho e'er so hard you strove
In silence to keep it back,
1t would reveal your love.
You thought MY love "boysh' vow,
That with ripening years would flee,
And then, dear girl, | vowed again
That would "CoDstant" be.
Faithfully have kept my word
. From it I'll ne'cr depart
Notwithstanding have heard
Thatanother has your heart.
Alas alas too true it is l fear
That all has been in vain,
And what once to me was happiness
Now brings me naught but pain.
Then be it so Pll give thee up,
Atlo my spirit IS 10th,
For the truth you must admit
You CANNOT LOVE Us BOTH.
Go weep again and strive to turn
His cold and stony heart
Let all thy sraces brightly burn
In acting out thy part.
With fairy dance and silvery voice,
And dark eyes beaming life,
Thou mayest perchancc at last rejoice
In being called his wife.
Why did you vow you loved me
As you never loved another2
Why say that you loved HIM
As you would love a brother?-
I'll chide thee not for loving well
My friend so tried--so true,
And now my only wish it is,
That HE MAY LOVE THEE TOO.
