YAzoo VALLEY IsusDArED.-The Lexingtol

YAzoo VALLEY INUNDATED.-The Lexington (Miss.) Advocate, of the l7th inst, says: Just as we were going to press we learned that the plantation of John M. West, at the head of Honey Island, is entirely submerged. and it is thought the water will get up to the high est water mark of 1850. The entire Yazoo Valley is inundated. The cause of this rise is attributable to the breaking of the Tunica levee. The loss sustained by this overflow is almost incalculable.

WHAT'S TRUMPS.

There are many cards to play, So many ways to choose, In love and politics and war,
 That forwarding your views With ladies fair, and statesmen wise, Or men of lesser bumps, Before we lead our strongest suits, 'Tis well to know what's trumps. Once worshlplng at beauty'S shrine, l knelt in bondage sweet And breathed my VOWS with eagerness, And offered at her feet My soul well stored with Cupd's wealth. A love-cemeuted lump; king of diamonds won the trick, My heart was not 1. trump. Having to see my rival win
 Upon single rub, As he had played the duece with me. followed with club! .. Two days within a station house, kehectlng on my sin, l found as others may have done, Clubs very seldom win. .." Grown wise by sad experience,
 ceased to deal with maids; shutflcd youthful folIies of,
 And turned up jack of spades; Yet still find .s dust is scarce, And smaller grow the Jumps, That though the spades an honest card, It Is not always trumps. But in this world of outside show. Where Mammon rules the throng, To ease the little joints of life,
 And smoothly pass along, To find an antidote for care,
 And stern misfortune's bumps, One card is very sure to win
 Diamonds are always trumps.

 lGoethe. THE last! The last, Annette! What a thing to
 have thought of then! MA l standing flushed with hope by you sitting there
 gay, There upon the sunny slope with my sprnging hope
 that day, By the farm-gat on the hillside looking down the
 glimmering glen. The apple trees showed on us their blossoms and
 their scent; How o'er the fickering meadow wanton nipples
 came and went! How the oriole sang above us, breast and voice of
 passionate frei Then the crazy boboIink's gurge in the grass And the swallows swift repass! Glancng lower, flashing higherl Oh the very air of June seemed full of quick desire! Yet one robin, bethink me, hidden in dis tant poplar tree Grieving for something there alone, Thrilled with his mournful monotone Faint pulses of fear and sadness, Through the eXuburant life madness The high tide of love and giadness flowing round us like tropic IF Strange these fances I know many men Seeing what trihes make my life up--never thinking how the while, We perplex our heads with planning, and weary our hands with toll.
  Just little odsit-the stuff we never thought of Into shapes we little wot of, And To- the life that vexed us so, It stands Complete with the soft touch of the All-shaping hands. And so must always think of Annette As she sat there then; see her yet, In her dewy eyes shadow of care, With the sunny wealth of her wavy hair, Pulling apart the blossoms of clover; Then rising with laughter brimming over, Farming and stopping to sprinkle my head .. With their petals of bee bewoong red. And so through the gate and up through the meadow Fitting and vanishing like gay shadow. For, ah, Annette.-for this was the ending. l. back to the citys turmoil and jostle; You, uP through the meadows fragrance and rustic Home to the farm house silent and gray -'rwas just such asother flowing June day, They tell me. next week when yon were carried Sprinkled with lilies out to be buried!

For the Nonpareil.

Mr.. EDITOR As the time is near at
hand, for the meeting Of the Republican
Convention for the nomination of candi-
dates for Judge of the District Court, Dis
trict Attorney, and member of the Board OF
Education, for this district, it is necessary
we should be looking about for candidates
for those offices. think it expected that
the candidates for Judge and District At
tornev, will be taken from the Southern or
Eastern portion Of the district. 1t is proper
therefore, that We should let them select
their men. But it is due Pottawattamie
County, that she should have a member of
the Board of Education. Allow me there
fore. to suggest the name of F. A. TRlrLE,
ESQ.,, as person in every way qualified for
that responsible Office.
He is a young man Of excellent education.
fine talents, is possessed of an unexceptiona-
BILE moral character, and is thorough-go
Republican.
| have not consulted Mr.. TRITLE, on this
subject, nor ever had word of conversation
with him in regard to it, and do not know
that he would accept the nomination, but il
he will, think he can easily be elected.
Yours, AVOTER.

We are indebted TO Mr.. l., recently
returned from whalinq voyage, for the
following touching narrative:
On the home voyage of ore of our New
York and Liverpool packets, she being
crowded with -migrants, that awful .courge
thu ship fever. broke out. The carpenter
Of the vessel, one of natures nobIeman,
and having on board his little son. n lad of
some twelve summers was one of the first
victims. His shipmates sadly enclosed his
body in his hammock. and read over him
the burial service, and attached to his feet
grlndstone, for the purpose of sinking it,
committed it to the embrace of old ocean,
The poor boy, overcome with grief at the
loss of his natural protector, sprang over
board. and before he could be rescued, was
beyond the reach of human aid.
On the dav following the burial, a large
shark was noticed in the wake Of the ship,
and as it was almost calm, the sailors asked
PERMISSION to catch it, which was readily
granted by the captain. Having procured
baltrd it with pork, they cast it overheard,
and soon had the exciting pleasure Of hook
inc the monster, and with the aid of the
windlass. they hauled the writing mass on
board. As it lay on the deck in its death
Struggles, the sailors heard singular rum
bling noise, that seemed to proceed from
within the dying captive. Taking a ship
axe thew soon cut their way into the now
dead fish, and to their great surprise, found
that it had swallowed the carpenter, grind
stone and boy, and that the former who had
swooned, had rugged up the grindstone. and
with the assistance of the boy to turn it.,
~as just grinding his jack-knite to cut his
way out.

proxpecis of Trade.

The Boston Transcript says, from the
best information it has been able to gather,
the indications of healthy fall trade in
most departments Of domestic business, are
encouraging. The stock Of goods in all
parts of the country, at this time. is unpre-
cedeutedly low. The crops are large, cou-
fdence is almost regained, and traders look
ON the future. Purchasers are
very cautious in making purchases, but feel
to buy, though not SO extensive
" as they would under other circumstances,
to satisfy an increasing market. So that
the signs point to a fair and moderately
prosperous season for our merchants during
the autumnal months.

Ds Four Wsrenesses, ana Bil,iard saloon
Burned.
AT about 2 O'Clock yesterday morning
fire broke out in the rear OF Mr.. y. II.
Welch's Stove aud Tin-ware store, on Sc
cond street. Though we have heard vari.
ETY. of statements as to the exact place OF
the origin of the FIRE, we believe those most
likely to know generally concur in the
above. 49,.
The flames rapidly spread to the adjoin-
ing buildings, Messrs. VnnLear, Britain
Hardy's Warehouse, Mr.. j. Flaherty's
Warehouse, the Billiard Saloon Of Messrs.
Cummings & Co., and the store of Mr.. +. Il.
Welch and from these to the stores of Messrs.
j. NJ. M. Conrad & Co., Colver Hyatt, and
j. W. Crane & Co. Most of the goods in
these houses were removed and saved,
(though much damaged, of course,) but for
which the loss would have been very great.
Messrs. Van Lear, Britain Hardy. on
account of the imminent danger, removed
most of their stock of drugs and goods in
their front store, which was source OF
great loss to them. The loss of Mr.. J. Fla
herty, Hardware Merchant, and MeSsrs.
Smith & Withers, from similar cause, was
heavy-all covered, however, SO far as we
COuiu lelTU3 ny AuO iVsSOS ~
Messrs. Hyatt, Crane and Welch were mainly
covered, we believe, by insurance, as was
also that of Mr.. Nc Laughlin, owner of the
two e-houses occupied by the two former
gentlemen.
The heaviest. loss will fall upon Mr.. Heat
on, owner of the houses occupied by Messrs.
Cummings & Co., Conrad Il Co., and WEIGH.
His loss, he informs us, will be about four
thousand five hundred dollars--no insur-
ance.
In addition to the above business houses,
the Office of Drs. Hewlett & Noble, the
Shooting Gallery of Mr.. Robinson, and a
Taior's Shop, &C., were also destroyed
The entire loss cannot fall below from twen-
ty to thirty thousand dollars, and is vet to
be ascertaned.
Thus the south-e east corner of Second and
Francis streets, embracing nearly a half
square, is in ruins, bringing impressively
to mind the absolutely defcnceless state of
this city against the ravages of fire. We
ask how long shall! it remain so?
While many of our citizens battled against
the fumes with desperate energy, there were
numbers pl esent who absolutely refused TO
lend helping hand. Such heartless beings
deserve the scorn of all decent people,

Right Sentiments.

The Albany Evening journal, in speaking
of the past and future of the Republican
party, and the propositions respecting it.,
expresses the following sound sentiments:
.To the design (Which is still cherished
Of changing the name and organization of
the Republican party, We OBJ ected, and shall
continue to object; because, first, impor-
tant principles are involved, and second,
because the motives which suggest and the
objects contemplated, by such changes, are
wholly inadmissable. In other words, while
like other parties. ours is open to such as
approve our Principle, we are not prepared
to surrender the Command either to those
who deserted the Wing party in lS49, or
those who defeated the Republican party in
1856. To all who unite with us will be
awarded their just proportion Of influence
and an equitable participation in the rewards
