We have received several communications,

these letters is the same; and that is-The
temperance men Of Caledonia County should
not allor politics, religion, nor long-estab-
ished usage, to diride them in this important
matter. The temperance men of the Coun-
~ met in Convention and nominated per-

knew to be not only Temperance man,

BARTON DON'T CLAIM THE HoNoR.-The
same correspondent from whom we got the
above particulars, objects to the article in :he
last CALIFORNIAN in regard 70 the forgery at
that place, and says that the note alluded to
was drawn, not in Barton, but in Caledonia
County, and the money obtained there; and
further says that it is matter of little con-
sequence, only that Barton feels that she has
lniqultles enough of her own to answer for.
and objects to being made the pack-house for
the sins and wickedness of other towns

DoNATIoN.-The friends of Rev. d. S.

Evening last, and testified TO their apprec;a-
ton of his worthiness in the sum of $4,000.
The night was quite inclement and the tray
cling baG, vet large number were in attend
ance who seemed to enjoy well the oppor,u-
nifty Of giving. 1t is a significant fact that
this was donation, and not the payment of
subscriptions for preaching merely. Bro.
Dexter thinks that could those who readily
indulge in slang about Barton have been
present at donation here. they would see
the error of their ways and straishtway re-
psnt. Barton must be considered the ban
ncr town in donations.

around the open fire that bazed cheerfully on the

Macbeth; we refrain from criticism, for the parts
cannot be played without able artistic in the char
acter of Lady Macbeth, to sustain the interest Of
the scene. Mrs. Stetson, pleasing actress in her
line, was not engaged for that range of character
and the lady who was not turning out competent
had 10 be discharged, that without blame to the
management, the role is untitled. The mistake was
in producing Macbeth at all under the circum-
stances.

Edward Mortimer, in the Iron Chest bill present

GREAT FLOOD AT kEOKUK-SOOn after nine o'clock
on Wednesday, night violent rain storm began and
continued straight ahead until about four o'clock in
the morning. The heavens were in a continual blaze
of lightning, and the fall of water exceeded any
thing ever heard of in this region, being by Mr..

many hours. Where the storm extended great
damage has been done,
Both our railroads were disabled and no trains
went out yesterday On the road to MOntrose Prices

at Nashville is gone, and culver at Montrose torn
out All hands were set to work repairing, and it
was thought that the passenger train will be able
to get through to MOntrose this mornging We heard
nothing of the damage beyond MontrOse.
On the X. Fl. d. NJ. and NJ. Railroad the bridge at
Patterson 4 Timberman's Pork House was carried
out bodily and half the track for several rods below
washed away. The culvert at Buena Vista is gone.
We have heard of no other damage beyond but it
thought that regular trips can hardly be resum
ed before next Monday.
We heard that several'culverts and bridges
washed away on the road between Warsaw and
Hamilton, but the cars will run to-day from near
Hamilton TO Carthage.
Several culverts and bridges and considerable
drifts were washed down on Bloody Run, and the
rubbish collecting against Fifth street bridge the
