HEAVIEST Loss OF LUMBER On REcoRD.-ln con-
sequence of the recent heavy rain there has been
high freshet on the river Susquehanna The
Boom at Williamsport was swept away on the I lth,
and an immense quantity of lumber was carried
off. Over S0.000000 feet of lumber, worth over
half million of dollars, has been carried off
This is the largest loss of lumber at any one time,
ever occurring in the United States There will
be rise OF fifteen to twenty per cent. in the valve
of lumber in Philadelphia in consequence of this
disaster.

The Cattle Plague.

The entire New England States are agitated in
regard to the rapid spread of disease among the
cattle in Massachusetts, which has thus far defed
all efforts to discover its cause or prevent its
tension. Reports Of its progress have reached us
for several months past, and how not only is Mass
achuseIts likely to be very great sufferer from
this disease, but adjoining States are threatened
with a similar visitation. 1t is stated that yokes
Of cattle, cows and calves have been sold and cx-
ported from the infected districts TO New York
Maine. Connecticut Rhode Island and I'erm mt,
and il is not improbable that they have carried the
seeds of the disease with them. At the regular
session Of the Legislature of Massachusetts, lately
closed, a Commission was appointed to provide for
the extirpa.ion Of the disease. That Commission
having satisfied themselves that the maladv had
extended over broader territory than was at first
anticipated, and that additional powers were re-
CURED, so reported to Gov. Banks, and he, acting
upon the advice of the Commission, and upon sun
dry petitions from the member, Of the State Board
OF Agriculture and numerous citizens, called an
extra session of the Legislature, which assembled
last "Wednesday at unconstitutional Democrat.

BoLD suT TRuTHFUL.--CnAs. O'CoESoR, the
distinguished N. York advocate aud admins
tration supporter has prOmuIged the doctrine
20 late well considered speech, that the advo-
Gates Of slavery have no tenable ground to
stand upon but full and hearty endorsement
OF the righteousness and bene6cenee Of the in
stitution. Until they take this ground, the ar
guments Of their opponents are unanswerable.
This view Of the subject appears TO be the
plain common sense, aud truth Of the whole
matter. Il is, however fatal view for the
friends Of the South to admit. The northern
mind is not prepared TO adopt the doctrine OF
the divine right Of slavery Notwithstanding the
opinions Of Mr.. 0'Counor, and the Rev. Henry
Van Dyke. That this ground will be taken by
many, we have no doubt. The tendency is 50
natural-so inevitable. Men will follow their
prejudices into error, rather than honestly to
admit that they are wrong. We see this in our
daily intercourse with our locofoco and conser-
vative friends. In eouversing on this subject,
they will start with the claim that they are anti
slavery, and il you crowd them, they will call
the Bible TO their aid, and close up with an at
tempt to debase that authority to the support
Of their prejudices and insupportable positions
Such is the weakness and folly Of human nature.
