ECONoNY OF CARFETs.--To preserve eX-
pcnsiye carpets, it is well to completely cover
the floor beneath them with drugget, or
coarse mating, which is much better plan
than to spread layer Of straw between the
floor and carpet the straw (besidos the
difficulty Of spreading it perfectly smooth
and even) accommodating much dust that works
up through the carpet.

A CLEARING HoUsE.-Irs EFFECTS UPON
THE BANKS, &c.-We learn from the Cincin-
natl Safety Fund Bank Note Reporter, which
contains long and able article under the
preceding head that Clearing House is soon
to be established in Cincinnati, similar to the
Metropolitan Bank of New York and the Suf-
folk Bank of Boston. Our readers may re-
member that we have written in favor of a
similar establishment in this city.
The Cincinnati Bank Note Reporter, men
toned above, says 1.-THE object is to establish a
redeeming center Tor Country Bank Notes,
which will also be practically Clearing
House for their circulation, that is for striking
balances and settling accounts between the
banks in regard to circulation The Re-
porter shows clearly and conclusively that
such a house would be beneficial both to the
people of the surrounding country and to the
banks. but detrimental to the brokers. That
paper says:
The banks included within the influence of
the Redemption House lie within "a circuit of
about two hundred miles, compromising
nearly all the banks of Ohio, Indiana, Ken
lucky, and Western Virginia. The amount
of doiioe circulation is about $50 900 .0O0.-
OF this, something like S1O9.0O0 per day
reach Cincinnati; and in consequence of the
large profits in running home the notes, and
the large number of brokers employed in il,
il is safe 10 say that this portion of circulation
does not remain out of bank more than nn
average of three months. In other words,
5000 900 per week, or Ss000000 in each
three months, are sent home for red mption.
Now. the experience of banks proves that
without the Influence OF brokers this money
would remain out more than double that
length of time

FORMATION OF n southern League.
Gen. WM. WALKER and Hon. w. L. YANcEY
made speeches at Bethel Church, Montgomery
county, Ala, on the 10th inst. The former
was very severe on the administration for its
course towards him, and made decided i'm
preston upon the minds of his auditory.
The occasion was seized upon by the advo-
Gates of extreme southern views, for the
formation of Southern League. The fol-
lowing constitution is the basis of the organ
izatiOn, to which a number of signatures was
obtained:
/. The members of this organization shall
be known as The Ledguers Of The South; and
our motto shall be, 4 S0aaheTn Republic is our
only sgfety.
2 There shall be primary Leagues, State
Leagues, and League of the Southern
States.
g. Any five or more Southern citizens NAV
form primary League by subscribing their
names to this Constitution.
4. The State League shall be formed by the
primary Leagues within the State; and the
League of the Southern States shall be formed
by the union of the State Leagues.
5. Each League shall elect President,
Vice-President. Secretary. Treasurer, and such
other officers as it may deem useful; and the
officers shall hold their offices for one year.
and until their successors shall have been
elected.
g. As soon as it shall be ascertaned that
three primary Leagues have been organized,
the Presidents thereof or a majority of them
shall agree upon a time and place for the or
ganization of the State League. and, when
organized, it shall direct the time and place of
its meetings.
7. And. as soon as it shall be ascertained
that three State Leagues have been organized,
the Presidents thereof or majority of them
shall agree upon a time and place for the or
ganzation of the League of the Southern
States, and. when organized, t shall direct
the time and place of its meetings.
8. Each primary League may send as many
representatives, as it may select to the assem-
bly, of the State League, but its vote shall be
counted in proportion to the number of its
members.
g. Each State League may send as many
representatives as it may select to the council
of the League of the Southern States, but
each State shall have but one vote.
10. The President of any League may call
a meeting of the League over which he pre-
sides whenever he shall deem it expedient;
and any State League may call meeting OF
the Southern States, whenever a majority of
such League may deem it advisable.
IL. Under this Constitution, the District of
Columbia shall be considered as a part of the
State of Maryland, and a Territory shall be
held to be State.
r. No League shall ever nOnrflfSSte can
didate for any office of profit or of honor I'M
der the Federal or any State Government;
but each Lacquer shall vote according to his
own conscience-rememberi always his
duty to the South.

Flood I'm the 81. Francis River.

The break in the levec that Overlooked Hell
ena and a large extent of country below oc-
CURED on the 9th, on Mr.. Clements planta-
ton, one mile below town. The water has
been considerably higher than il was in 80 :;
many old settlers think it above the food of
1928. 1t is now falling gradually. and in the
course of Il few DAYS will be 1t of our streets
and OFF of the plantations below. Immense
damage in the loss of crops, stock. etc. has
been the result. Some Of the finest cotton
plantations in the South have been inundated
and all in consequence of the miserable apol-
ogies for levees that have been relied upon.
As To wha: the damage Is, we have not the
remotest idea. We hear il estimated that on
the places between this and Old Town the
loss OF cotton will not be less than 5000
bales, 10 shy nothing of cern, hay, stock,
fences. etc. This is a painful and melancholy
lesson, and one that will surely show the iul-
portance OF rcvoiutionizing the present defec-
ave levee system, and adopting one that will
anord security to the millions Of dollars worth
OF property that require such protection.
The ST. Francis river, from the mouth up 10
Williamsburg. is reparted to have been higher
last week than IL has been known since tie
settlement Of the country-over fifty years.
The town OF Madison, thought to have been
above overflow, was entirely submerged. The
loss of stock aud growing crops Is immen.e
We also hear OF heavy Losses of stock in
the county Of Tunica, Miss.. "A few miles above
Helena. Mr.. Baskins overseer ON Col Brad
ford's place, informed Us that at least $50
head Of cattle, and one valuable horse, were
drowned ON that place.
DIR. Nash, late Of Helena, also lost several
head Of cattle.
We also bear o, the loss Of stick In several
places in THIS county. General Pillow lost
about thirty head Of cattle, and Col. William
son a large number OF hogs Mr.. II. W. Cas-
teel lost over two hundred cords Of wood. in
addition 90 his crop. Other Losses have &C.
CURED. but the above are all Of which VIC

Bayard Taylor. in a recent letter to the

written on the 26th OF March, says:
"There Is n curious story connected with

Napoleon at Trieste, claimed him "a a fellow

grafton at the time mentioned is a matter of
history. and the fact that the name of Bona

WASHINGTON, Pa, May 81, 1858.
ENOCH SOUTH, EsQ,-My DeGr Fiepd:-I
hoped to have visited you prior TO the prima-
ry election; but it is now more than probable
that | cannot do so. l wanted to converse
with you and to ask your advice and assist
ance in the contest now going on for nomina-
ton.
| have learned from others that Won were
still my friend, and that you considered it I'M
fair to deny me second term. and You do
not know how profoundly grateful felt when
! heard it. You have been my friend SO long
that | wanted to see you and to grasp once
more your hand, and to thank you from the
core OF my heart
1t is now fitty-siX years since the custom of
giving faithful Democratic representative
t,oo terms, began. To deny this to me, would
be reflection on my conduct, and would dis
grace me forever. Let Gen. Lazear await his
time, and he shall have his tloo terms without
opposition from me or from our county. |
only ask one more term, and then will with
draw from the field. Please speak TO your
neighbors for me; do not Les them strike me
down. All you do for me shall be treasured
up in grateful memory.
| remain as ever, sincerely your friend,

i. S.-Prcsident Buchanan drinks nothing
stimulating except old rye whisky. l told
him that you used to have the best that was
ever distilled in our region, and he made me
promise to see you and get him some if you

Could you let me have barrel, or even a
half barrel of the best you ever made? Write
me. | will send a key of it to the old chief
if can get it. WIN.
1t may be interesting to the world to know
that Old Buck drinks nothing stimulating
except old rye whisky" His choice of pota-
tiOns is better evidence of his taste than his
familiarity with such a fellow as Montgomery
would seem to indicate. We may be consid-

whether Old Buck ever got the whisky So
