out Door Sports.-The season for outdoor
sports begins this month, and in Washington
and Baltimore the base ball clubs have com.
manced play for the season. This game of
base ball is fine, healthy exercise, and
manly and exciting pas time Thousands of
the mercantile and business community of the
large cities north OF US relieve the monotony
OF their daily pursuits by devoting q portion
OF their leisure time to the practice of either
base ball o. cricket, and they not only derive
considerable pleasure from the excitement of
tho gxT1e fssoh, but also great benefit from
the exercise and physical development conse.
quent upon the practice of these outdoor
sports. We rank ourselves with those who
are desirous of encouraging these inv nyigorating
games among our toO-littIe- exercised citizens
The fact is, we all, more or less, devote too
much OF our time and energies to our Offices,
desks and counters, and pay far too little at
tentio to the recreation OF body and mind, that
nature absolutely requires to preserve health
Especially do educated men make terrible
mis- Ia kn in this pect they make recreation,
purely mental; they give a little play to their
minus alter their days pursuits, bnt none to
tneir bodies, and therefore they grow weak
ana dyspeptic, and ultimately all the train
OF evils that follow neglect of the proper
recreation for the physical nature come. mis-.
eraoly TO Affect their spirits and distort their
views OF men and things around them Ex.
ercise, to be beneficial, should be attractive.
and, TO certain extent exciting, and we
KNOW OF no other sports, MS free from objec
tionabie features, and at the same time as
attractive and exciting, as these manly games
OF ball and we think it would be an addition
to our schools, that would lead to beneficial
results, morally and physically, if each had
bail club attached to 1t. How MANY ad.
mirabie practical lessons on discipline and
good behavior-both very requisite among the
majority OF our boys-might be impaired by
the teachers OF our academies every Saturday
afternoon, II they were to organize a ball club
among their scholars and accompany the
players to the field, and there guide and ad-
monish them AS occasion might require! 1t
would be recreation alike to teachers and
scholars, and beneficial to both.

by boats. Haxall, Crenshaw &c Co.'S -four

to the flood. The stone embankment above
the Danviile depot was entirely Submerged,
and the water was nearly on q levei with the
stone embankment built to protect the lower
end OF Mayo's new warehouse; while q con-
nection was formed between the Dock and
river, some distance further down, on the
line of 1lth street. All the island and low
ground below Rockets, (as, indeed, a great
part Of that section of the city, were covered
with water. The companion to the Vir-
Rinia Dare, u now building on the south side
of the river, was introduced to her - natural
element" before her builders would be willing
to send her forth to ''gIide the waters like

nearly up to the ST. Charles Hotel, are filled
with water. Alderman Sadler's tavern,
nearly opposite the old Market, is covered
with water in the rear to the depth Of six
feet. Intelligence of the ravages Of the Hood
