THE OvERFLow.-The Republic reports
that the river had risen ten feet at New
Madrid when she came up, and would
probably attain higher stage than before.
IF such is the case, great damage must
ensue.
In relation to the crevasse at Mr.. Bells
plantation, near New Orleans, the Delta of
last Tuesday evening says
We visited the crevasse at the plantation
of John NJ. Bell, on the opposite side of
the river. this morning, and found that
the opening had increased to a fearful ex-
tent, and now measures not less than two
hundred feet in width, and the water pour
ing through at a fearful rate. The levee,
for some distance on each side, was wet
and weak and was giving way, piece by
piece The inside levee, which was visible
yesterday, is now entirely covered; and
the waters are beating against the huge
sugar house, as if it would sweep it from its
foundation every minute. The track OF
the Opalousas Railroad, back of the sugar
house, is nearly three feet under water.
The cattle on the plantation have gained
the most prominent points, and huddled
together for mutual protection. No one
can estimate the amount of damage which
will be done, or the amount which would
be required to arrest it, The fatboats
which were lying outside went through the
crevasse, and were dashed into atoms. Nc
efforts were being made to stop it.
The crevasse above Jefferson City had
been stopped.
The Shreveport Southwestern, of the
10th inst. says that Red River has again
swelled to a dangerous height The river
} at Fulton is within two feet of the high
water of 1S49, and still rising, that the
whole country was overAowed, and thu
: CATTLE horses and deer were swimming il
all directions.

Es5r Disunion must come Is the cry
of the fire-cating organs, unless some great
change is wrought in the present aspect of
the sectional controversy. Did not the
folly of the declaration smack too strongly
Of crime, ono might smile at it's absurdity
but when il is remembered that the threat
cmenates from locofocos, indignation is the
feeling that naturally arises. Who are re-
sponsible for the continued agitation of
the slavery question: The locofoeos and
some Of them boast that they owe the sue
cess Of their party to the adroit manage
ment of that agitation. Could they not,
with their overwhelming majority, have
put stop to it at any time within the last
thirty years. To deny it, is simply to
utter lie. Then, why have they not put
stop to itP Because the interests Of party
forbade it and having kept it up for their
own base ends, what superlative impudence
it is to raise the cry that the Union must
be dissolved because the persistent policy
of the long dominant party--a policy pur-
sued with their eyes open--is rapidly
crushing the South, and as rapidly build
ing up the North. At every presidential
election, the locofocos of the South have
made some additional concession to the
North and so humble and debased have
these southern locofocos become under the
joint influence of party drill, and love of
the spoils, that they are, even now, beg
ging the North to give them nominal
triumph in Kansas, to be repaid by the
surrender of the entire claim of the South
to any foot-hold in that Territory. If a
change is needed in order to secure the
continued existence of the Union, why
don't they make it? They have the power
and lift they will not exert it for good, let
them stand back, and give those a chance
who have the will, but lack the power to
restore sectional harmony, and to admin
lister the government upon wise conserva-
tive and national principles. fthey will
do neither, the better portion of the people
of both sections will have word to say
when the attempt is made to dissolve the
Union. They who have wilfully lighted
the torch will not be quietly permitted tc
castit into the Magazine, because they have
burnt their own fingers.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
$4,000 WORTH OF PROPERTY DESTROYED
AND $40 900 IN MONEY! Iosrll


Sunday morning about % O'Clock, fire
was discovered in the retail Dry Goods
of w. NJ. a. l.. Campbell, on Market street
nearly opposite thewarehouse ofW H Cor
don & CO. The Messrs. Cambell occupied
the rooms over their store as residence,
and were sleeping at the time. The
noise from without awolxe one of the part
ners, who found himself nearly suffocated
with smoke, but able to appreciate his
condition. He aroused his companion,
with great difficulty, who was far gone from
the suffocating effects of the smoke. Both
narrowly escaped by leaping from the front
window. The fire in the meantime burst
from the open doors, and consumed the
entire stock of goods valued at about
$4,000 The origin of the fire is un-
known. The Messrs Campbell report
having aboutS10, 900 in money in the store
room, with which to buy exchange. The
fire seems to have originated about the
centre of the store room, and it may be
that the money was stolen and the house
fred to cover the deed, though no circum-
stances are divulged pointing to such con-
clusiOn.
In addition to the loss above, Messrs
Campbell lost all their furniture They
had not dollar of insurance, and are thus
forced to the necessity of commencing life
again. There case is an extremely hard
one, and calls for the warmest sympathies
The house adjoining on the South was
owned and occupied by H. & j. Metz, as Q
clothing store. Their stock was all re.
moved, though at loss from damage, &c.
of about $4,000. Jno. H. Metz resided
over the store and lost all his furniture
H.&J. Metz also owned the house occu.
pied by the Messrs Campbell. They were
insured for $4,000 in Nash's agencies
which will cover the loss.
Robt. King, grocer, adjoining on the
