DAMAGE BY THE OVERFLOW IN THE South.
The first break in the Mississippi levee oc-
Cured at Tallulas, Issaquena County, Miss,
and the water partially damaged about nine
plantations so much as to prevent anyeottOn
being raised upon them at all this season. A
full crop of corn, however, will be made.
The damage to the levee and to the planters
will amount to several hundred thousand
dollars. TIL break in the levee at Ford's,
twenty-five miles below Columbia, in Chioot
County, Ark, is by far the most serious. The
the formation of which is such that the de.
cline in the river will not suffice to draw off
the element. The damage to the levee and
to planters is estimated at fully 81, 1000, 900.
Thursday night, the 3lst, Bernard's levee,
one mile above Grand Lake, was cut. 1t
was repaired before any material damage
was sustained. The river is now declining
very rapidly, and all fears of any more cre-
vases have subsidized.

A FearfuI soene I'm Domo.cus.

AT a short distance from the Serai there
was q bazaar kept by Christians, subjects of
Holland. The Moslems penetrated into the
shop, forced the doors, and commenced to
pillsge. The jewels and a portion of the
merchandise had been, however, fortunately,
or rather, / should say, unfortunately, re-
moved, and concealed during the previous
day. This exasperated the robbers, who
seized Mrs. Werner, and, attaching a cord to
her left leg, held her suspended from the
window with her head downward. In this
position they allowed her to struggle for a
considerable time; the monsters in the
streets loaded their pistols with powder and
fred the contents at her body, while those
above amused themselves by casting upon
her ignited rags.
This continued for an hour, until at length
she was slowly burned, and expired in the
most horrible torments. The husband, Mr..
Werner, tied by the hands and feet upon a
stove which the murderers caused 10 be
heated, was a spectator of this horrid scene;
they summoned him, as the only means OF
saving his wife, to tell them where he had
placed his gold and jewels. He told them
the house Of the merchant in which they
we're concealed, but that did not satisfy
them, for they thought he had secreted his
valuables near at hand. At last finding
they could discover nothing, they released
him and ied-too late, however, for Mr..
Werner was dead, the half of his body hay
ing been literally broiled:

A Kentucky Journa ON the ''subjugatIon
of the SOutb.O
The Louisville lKY.l Democrat saYa:

AAN Wy HtV ~ bdJ6
Lincoln is bent on conquest and subiuga-
ton, and we are asked if we are for the sub
jugation of the South There is no danger
of suhjugation-that is not the calamity to
be apprehended. We should not object to
the subjugatioH Of some people in the
South-they need it. Let this 90 on for a
while, and the people South will subjugate
those who need subjugation, and there are
some people North who will be s~ubiugated
too. Whole schools of ~demagogues in both
sections will go down before this revolution
is over. 1t must be settled, and those who
provoked it, or originated II, will never set
tie it. We don't think much of this war. 1t
is only an act In the drama, necessary now,
perhaps but it will settle nothing. Neither
section of the Union will do what it does
not choose to do, in consequence of present
events. Men must get tired before they get
cool, and they are in a fair way to get very
tired.
Thousands South nave been taught to be-
lieve, by their braggart leaders, that they
could just whip the North into terms in
short order. They can't do it, and they
will find that out and what will become of
these braggarts? Then there are Northern
fools that are going to conquer or extermi-
nate the South; that can't be done either.
They are miserable incompetents on both
sides; not fit to be trusted with the inter-
ests Of nations.
cause to quarrel. They are not enemies
it's a lie their politicians have told them.
They are fighting oil that lie, and they will
ind it out, to the cost of those who nave
told it. The whole settlement comes after
this interlude of war, which will settle
nothing, except that both sides have been
cheated by men they trusted.

The dispatches indicate that the forward
Aovement Of all the different CORPS of the
army Of the Government has commenced,
and that within a few days either some
lighting or some running may be expected.
SO far as appears, General Scott has all the
troops that he deems necessary to carry on
the operations he proposes for the present,
and has been able to pursue his plans with
out any serious obstruction from the Secs
sionists. As it is not to be presumed that
he entered Virginia merely to march and
countermarch, or to retreat in case be meets
with resistance, it may be set down as GER
tain that the rebel armies which lie in his
path will be obliged either to fight or get
out of the way.
From all accounts, a proportion of the
troops under General Butler received rather
a disastrous check at Bethel, attributable
partly to the confusion incident to a night
movement, and partly to the preparation
made to receive them. 1t is not to be ex-
pected in war that all the successes will be
upon one side. To the want of presence of
mind on the part of General Pierce, who
was incapable to withdraw his men from
under the fire of the rebel battery, the loss
of life is attributed. The greater part of the
soldiers education for the field must be in
the field, and he must be an extraordinary
man, who, leading for the first time, a body
Of men into action, will have fall possession
OF all his faculties. Some Of the best Off
GERS in the world have faltered upon their
first field; and it is not at all wonderful that
a civilian, raised from the walks of private
life to the position Of a General Officer,
should find a. the first essay the responsible
tiles too great for his fortitude.
1t is impossible, however, to judge of the
merits of the case from the meager reports of
tie telegraph, made up, as they evidently
gre, fromlrumors more or less vague and ex-
aggerated. The principal facts appear to be
that the troops behaved well, that the loss of
life was not great, and that either accidents
prevented the reaIiza IL dthe command which
been expected.

Changes in circumstances work changes

Our good and patriotic fellow. citizens took

Of this city exhibited a disposition to do

The Future Supply OF CottOn-Valuable
and Interesting Statistics Of the De-
thrOncd King.
Nbe June number of Hunfs Merchants
Magazine has an able article on Che "Future
Supply Of Cotton" from which we extract,
COTTON ooNsUMpTIoN OF ENGLAND.
In the year 1889 there were in Great
Britain 1919 cotton factories; worked by
horse power Of steam, 46,S27, and of water,
l2,977, and by persons Of all ages and both
sexes, 259,3S5.
The census of 1851, aud careful inquiries
in 1856, show the rapid consumption OF cot.
ton in that country. The following table
gives the figures for 1850 and 1856. They
are taken from the returns made to Parlia-
ment:
Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1861-06-12

In 1860 the whole value of cotton manu-
fscture did not exceed 945, s26, 900; in 1856
it was 951074o00; in 1859 nearly f72,OOO.-
600; now 1t must be much nearer ESQ, OOO. 600
than f70, 900, 900. If this be borne in mind.
it will be at once perceived how very much
the present condition of affairs must exceed
the statements for former times. About a
sixth Of the number Of persons employed are
children, or very young persons, and it was
estimated in the beginning of last year that
the number Of persons employed in the
manufacture could not be under 500, 600.
On the whole, If we add Eve or six hundred
to the number of factories of Great Britain
returned in 1855, and augment the other
items of the account in proportion, we shall
possibly not be very much in error as to the
present dimensions Of the trade.

the conversation of gentlemen who, while
they belong TO the party with which he is
