NASHVILLE, TENN. THURSDAY, MAY %, 1861
Joyful News!
The Cry is "Stin They Come. "
WHAT?

Why beautiful goods, that viii cause great talk,
As old FRIEND " Powers has just returned from
New York
And receiving at his Store, Southeast corner of the
Square,
rich Spring and Summer Stock, which he'll sell very
fair,
Embracing clothing, and every article in the furnishing
line,
Which in beauty and durability are 80 'truly divine
He has coats and pants of almost every style and
shade.
Most fashionably cut, and very neatly pressed and
And for handsome vests-he'n sell you one in a
fash
For the very least possible share of your cash.
Nor forgetting old line Wings and Democrats,
For whom he keeps a VARIETY Of suitable hats,
The finest caps-all fancies sure to please
Both cloth and silk, and new style Japanese;
Handsome Shirts and splendid cravats and collars,
So to NJ Powers don't neglect to bring your dollars;
For with myriads we would now dispute,
VINO dare say his garments fail to suit;
Those most neat and fastidious in taste,
Who oft in badly made clothes their money waste.
But strange to say. for the very smallest sum,
You feel inclined to expend at Powers Emporium,
He will give you bargains very rcih rare,
That will compel you for months to wonder and stare
He keeps clothing to suit the large and the small
And to credit our word, just give him a call
s'Quick sales and small prohtsn IS his motto long
traced,
So to NJ. Powers Store for bargains make haste.

bre-smps hnOpg the meet, panic WoIud DC pro-
duced, and the Armada DO thrown into confu-
sion, and compelled 10 slip its cables.
So long as night and Darkness continued, the
turmoil and uproar were terrific. When the
morning dawDed, Monday, August 9, several of
the Spanish vessels lay disabled, while the rest
OF the feet was seen at a distance of two leagues
from Calais, driving toward the Flemish coast.
The English feet we're all asiir and ready 70
pursue the spanards, now rapidly drifting into
the North Sea. TIE fleets came together about
nine O'Clock a. NJ. off Grayelines, and general
combat commenced within On hour. The English
had both the weather-gage and the tide in their
favor. Sir Francis Drake in the Pevenge, fol-
lowed by Frobisher in the Triumph, Hawkins in
the Victory, and some smaller vessels, made the
first attack upon the Spanish flag ships. Lord
Henry in the Rainbow, Sir Henry Palmer in the
Rudolph, and others, engaged with three OF the
largest gnlleohs Of the Armada, while Sir William
Winter in the Vanguard, supported by most Of
his squadron, charged the staTboard wing. The
battle RACED hot and furious, for ak hours; the
English partially maintaining their former sue
cessful tactics, and refusing the fierce attempts
Of the SpGniards to lay themselves along side.
Keeping within musket range, the weD-disci-
pinned English mariIers poured broadside aiter
brosdsde against the towering ships Of the Ar
msds; while tie epaniards, on their part found
it impossible, while wasting incredible quantities
Of powder and shot, to inlet any severe damage
on their enemies. During the whole action, not

From the Augusta Coastiiutionalist of Tuesday,
wo gather the following in relation to tho freshst
in the Savannah River:
On Friday lust, heavy rains commenced falling
in this vicinity, and continued until late hour
Sunday night. These rains mast have fallen over
M extended space Of country, as we hear of sori-
floods in the upper part of the State; while at
this point the Savannah river was higher on Sun
day last, than We have known it to be for some
years. Indeed, for several hours, on Sunday last,
there was much apprehension among our people
that our city would be overlowcd; and every pre-
paration was made to protect property, as much MS
possible, from injury by the flood. Goods were
moved out Of cellars, and from lower shelves; pro-
visions and water were laid in, in dwelling houses
for the emergency; and draymcn and laborcrs
were employed about the whurves and elsewhere
in conveying goods places Of safety. Fortunate.
ly however, these timely precautions were not rem
dcred necessary, rs yesterday morning the river
commenced falling again, though it is feared that
it may be again swollen by the rain of Sunday
night. But We hope that these fears may prove
groundlcss. As it is, n great deal Of trouble has
been caused, and no doubt some loss occasoned tc
the people both Of Augusta and Hamburg.
The river reached it, greatest height about dark,
and was at thiriy-one feet two inches above low
water mark. In many places it orcrAowed it's
banks, md in the upper part Of the city reached
Jones street, aud Marbury street came in as far
rs Springfield church.
In Hamburg, the water came in through the
back way, and yesterday morning several portions
of the town were Inundated. In the vicinity OF
the hotels the water was two or three feet deep.
The track Of the South Carolina railroad was SO
much injured, short distance from town, that the
eight o'clock train Of cars did not so out yestcr.
day. The Edgefeld stage was also detained in
this city, in consequence Of the high water. We
understand that the damages to tho railroad will
he repaired, in day or two, and that the trains
will svon resume their regular trips

Can We Forget Them?

Mr.. BAEksDALE, editor Of the .Ni,Istiprian,
and who was II Jealous seccssiunist from Northern
Democracy in the Charleston Convention, now
turns his eyes towards Northern Democrats, and
is moved to speak of them thus:
"Whatcycr may betiic the South, we will de-
light to remember the true and gallant spirits ut
the North wins stond up to yindicnte truth and
Justice in our behalf, when thrift and popularity
would have biddeu them join the aggressive null
