THE FLOOD.

Scenes Along Shore Bst1cesn Memphis and VicFsbRyg
The Memphis Appeal of the 2lst inst has the
following;
We last week took a trip down to Vicksburg on
board Captain Welton's splendid boat Victoria,
and had some opportunity Of seeing the effects Of
the high water along the shore. The sights that
met our eyes at intervals-and they were very
frequent intervals-were of the most painful
description. Plantations and village. were every
where overfowed and wet and meld--the effects
of the o7erfow-were in and about all the houses.
The houses themselves were either in or over the
water; when built on pillars, the water flowing
beneath and the tenants were prisoners within
the skiff or dug-out being the only ''vehiee" for
going abroad. Houses less elevated were desert
ed, anu the universal food was carrying desols-
tion decay, and, too probably, disease into every
apartment. In many instances, fatboats were
moored beside such habtations, two-thrds of
which were occupied by horses, hogs COWS and
chickens A portion Of the remainder was rooted
over, and there lived the negroes and there the
feed and provisions, brought down by passing
boats, was preserved. Every boat is hailed with
earnest anxiety for news of the state of the river
above. Many of the citizens show signs Of great
depression; they bore up bravely against the food
of last summer, but q second aflcton Of the same
kind following so closely upon the heels of the
hrst, has proved too much for their courage, and
heartrending complaints are made of difficulty
and priyation This is however hy no means the
case universally, there brave hearts that bear
their misfortunes cheerfuly; we heard Of one Of
the "drowned OUT who congratulated himself
that if meat and chicken fxins were scarce, he
could keep lent like bishop, having nothing to
do when he wanted breakfast but to let down 9
rail and permit q catfish to enter.
AT Helena the levee has successfully kept the
place from overflow. Napoleon is also tolersbly
well protected the levees along both the MisEs-
sppi and Arkansas rivers are in good condition |;
the sepeage water, however, fills the low ground
/ in rear Of the place, The graveyard more ex-
tensively tenanted than the city ITSELF lies along
the banks of the Arkansas and between the river
and the levee; the consequence is, the sbodss of
the dead lie beneath the food, and grAvsstonss
and monuments peep above the flowing watsra
At Lake Providence the water is excluded, but
the whole place looks moist and muddy. At
Vicksburg we did not find ss was recently an
nounced in a Western paper that ''the whole city
was swamped by the rushing tide of the Missis-
sippi :" the fine old hills on which tho city stands
still raise their heads proudly beyond the winding
wave, and mirror their image in the glossy tide"
SO high have the waters risen, however, even In
this elevated spot, that the boats tie up ''cheek
/ by jowl" with the houses, some Of the awnings of
which they have knocked down.

NEETING OF THE vICKsBURG BAR.

At a meeting of the Vicksburg Ear, held on
the 23d day of April, 1859, to pay a suitable re-
spect to the memory of D. WALKER, deceased, the
Hon. T. A. Marshall was called to the chair, and
Van Albade ". Anderson appointed secretary.
On motion, Messrs A. Burwell Walker Brooke,
II. ]. Harris, Richard s. Buck and r. Barnett,
were appointed committee to draft and report
forthwith resolutions and A. Burwell, as chair
man of said committee, reported the following,
which were unanimously adopted;
WHEREAS it has pleased Divine Providence to
remove from our midst our late friend and asso-
ciate, DEMosTHENEs WALKER, who was endeared
to US by long and intimate friendship, and q.
knowledge of his many excellent qualities Of heart
and mind, and whereas we are desirous of paying
last tribute to the memory of his worth, it La
therefore
Resolccd, That whilst we bow in humble SUBJ
mission to the decree Of Him who doeth all things
well, calling hence our late friend and associate
at the Bar, Demosthenes Walker, yet we cannot
refrain from giving expression to feelings that
spring from knowledge that in the decease Of
our late associate we have sustained the loss of
an esteemed friend. and the community the loss
of worthy, high toned and valued citizen.
Resolpe1, That in the intimate association at
the Bar Of many years with the deceased we have
ever found his course characterized by manly
integrity of purpose, and all the adornments that
grace the bearing Of true gentleman.
Res2lsed, That we sympathise with the afflicted
family Of the deceased in this their lifes greatest
grief, aud humby invoke the aid of Him ''who
tempers the win to the shorn lamb to yield
them such consolation as He only can give

THE SLAVE TRADE.-The venerable Parting.
tons, who mop in hand, are endeavoring to curb
the resstless current Of public sentiment in favor
of the African trade, and against the unjust and
oppressive laws with which prejudice and fanati-
cism have sought to destroy it, will find their un-
dertaking, though labor of love- utterly futile.
The following resolutions were adopted BY
meeting at Edgefeld Court House, South Carolina:
Reso1oed, That we regard the importation Of
African slaves into the Southern States Of this
Confederacy as measure essential to the materi-
al progress, political power and social advance
ment of the South.
Resolrcd, That in opposition to this measure
there are no considerations of justice and humAn-
ity which are not equally applicable to the iRsti-
tuition of domestic slavery.
ResolDed, That the laws in restriction Of the
foreign slave trade are dictated by false and
foreign sentiment, not deserving, therefore, Of
our obedience, as law abiding pecple.-Missa

The late Gov. McNutt of Mississippi, and the
late gloriously eloquent s. s. Prentiss of the
same State, were at one time mortal enemies
The latter never failed to denounce the former in
the most withering terms whenever proper op-
portunity presented itself. On one occasion,
while travelling on a steamboat, some of McNutts
official acts came up befoIe a small party who
were talking together in the Social Hall. Mr..
Prentiss said but little, he thought it improper
to attack a man beyond the limits of his own
State. just about the time the party was dis
persing, a comparative stranger put in his oar
nsolcited-assailed Gov. McNutt in bitter style
and finally wound up by calling the Governor
dog. This brought Prentss to his feet, and
with flushed cheek and flashing eye he eloquently
defended his absent felow-citizen and Chief
archaeological his virtues and extenuated
his infrmities-and concluded by compelling the
man who had styled him ''dog" to make ample
apology for the expression, on the ground that if
he did not that he (Prsntiss) would consider it a
personal matter Them" said Prentiss, in
conclusion, if McNutt is dog, he is our dog,
and no ours from n distance shall blrk at him in
my presence while he is absent. "-Crsseent.

WE FLING DOWN OUR HEARTS.


BY RUTH N. CROMWELL.
We fling down our hearts, to hearts that are filed
10 the brim, with the joy of possessing;
We throw down our kisses, to lips that have
thrilled,
Till cloyed with the sweets of caressing.
We lavish our treasures of beauty and mirth,
On souls that are sated with pleasure:
And hoard up the smiles that would gladden. the
earth,
To deal them by stint and by measure.
We keep the sweet song and the rarest Jon-mot
For the cup that already is flowing;
And swim with the tide, till not one of us know
What spirit within us is growing.
We take up our garments, while stepping aside
From the children of sin AMI of sorrow;
Forgetting, we gather dust in our pride
Which shall bear us through Hades tomorrow
We drink Of the cup, whateer it may be,
That accords with our taste and our station;
And dream we are strong, as We wisely agree
In resisting our neighbours temptation.
Ye may tell of the wisdom that's hid at the root
Of the truths which the soul may not grapple
Tis clear that sweet Eve, in eating the fruit,
Did swallow the seed with the apple

AN EXPERIMENT THAT RRouIREs NERvE.-A
scientific writer says:
We have often astonished the uninitiated by
passing the fingers and portion of the hand
through melted lead, This may be done witt
impunity if the hand is slightly moist-not wet
In many persons the natural moisture of the
hands is sufficient The melted metal is repellet
by the slight moisture, and the hand can be passed
through it without danger or inconvenience A
peculiar liquid vevety sensation is felt, which il
not at all unpleasant. A writer in the Courria
aes Etats Unis says that the same thing can be
DONE and even that the hands can be bathed in q
jet of melted iron at temperature of 1000 degrees
without any i'll results.

When 0. S. Fowler so the story runs, first
commenced the examination of bumps, some of
the students in the New York University were
disposed to quiz him. A peculiar shaped squash
was found in the college yard, and plaster cast
taken of one end of it, quite closely resembling
the cast of human skull. This was taken to
Fowler's rooms and he was given to understand
that the original was closely connected with lit
erary institution The phrenologist took the cast
in his hand, and examined it with some care, when
a bright thought struck him. "You need not
think, young men, to catch mel" said he to the
students, " do you think don't know the head Of
Horace Greeley?"

FIRST LOVE.
BY xETTIE COOK.

BY NETTIE COOK.
Twas sunshine fair when he was by,
And, like some gurgling melody
Of waves within reedy dell,
That hides their dulcet fall and swell,
She listened to the magic tone
Which hung upon his words alone,
Nor thought, nor dreamed, the spell that wov
Such sheen in life, could eer be Love.
As martial strains upon the breeze,
As mountain gale DER fervid seas,
AS 'thwart the heavens meteor flies
And scarcely lives before it dies,
So late he had her pathway crossed,
So brief was known, so early lost,
That when she knew the trembling dove
Death whispered her its name was Love.
