Freshet ON the Blue Earth River.

We learn from the MaDkato Record that
the Blue Earth river is higher than ever
before known, and that the fine bridge across
that stream, between Mankato and South
Bend, has been swept away. This bridge
cost about $4,000. Other bridges and
several mills on the river have been washed
away and materially damaged. On Satur.
day the Blue Earth was falling, but the
Minnesota was rising at the rate of six
inches every twenty-four hours.
Messrs Butterield & Waumplers mill,
on the Watonwan, was carried away by the
freshet. They had in the mill at the time
500 bushels of wheat belonging to them
selves and 80 to customers, al! of which
was lost.
The Record contains the following &C.
count of the loss of life by the freshet:
THREE CHILDREN DRowNED-We have
learned the particulars of sad accident at
Shelbyviie, in this county, several days
ago, resulting 10 the death of three chill
dren, daughters of Mr.. Lyman B. StiIIson,
of that place. Mr.. S. resides on the east
shore of the Blue Earth. The fceshet had
overlooked the banks of the river, and MIR.
SIS house was partially under wa'er. He
determined to remove his family to his
brotber-irslaw's On the opposite side os the
river, and started tor that purpose with his
wife and four smallest children in boat.
While crossing the river the boat struck a
tree, and Mr.. l.. being lame in one arm,
was unable to manage it, and it upset. The
parties were all thrown into the river. MIR.
s. and bis wife chung to the tree, and TO
gether they managed to place the youngest
child upon the branches. The other three,
all girls, were carried down the stream and
drowned. The two eldest children. girls
about sixteen and eighteen years of age,
had been lett in the house, and seeing the
perilous situation of their parents, they
forded the river and FASTENED to neigh.
boris house, at least halt n lie dist8nJ, for
help This gentleman, Mr.. Dodge, imme-
diately went with his boat to the relief OF
Alr. Stilison and wife, and after laborious
effort, he succeeded in rescung them, to-
gether with their youngest child. AT least
an hour and half elapsed from the time of
the upsetting of the boat until these par
ties were rescued, and as they were 10 the
cold water all the time, fighting against a
swift current, their escape is almost mira~
cuicus.

Am Inside View.

General Sidney Johnston's private letter
to jeff. Davis, apologizng for the fall Of
Fort Doneison, contains some curious con-
LESSONS. Not originally intended for the
public eye, it has probably found its way
into the Richmond papers in consequence
of the rebel Presidents disgust at the con-
duct Of his officers. In his message to Con
gress be refused to believe that fifteen thou=
sand men could have surrendered so strong
place, and when he found it was true, sus.
pended Floyd and Pillow from command
General Johnston's report does not improve
the case. He says:
ut appears from the information receivA
ed that General Buckner, being the junior
officer, took the lead in advising the surren,
der and that General Floyd acquiesced, and
they all concurred that it would require a
great sacrifice of life to extricate the com.
maDd."
The following passage from Johnston
letter, is significant as clue to a favorite
game of the rebels:
81 magnifed my forces to the enemy, but
made known my strength to the department
and Governors of States. The aid given
was small. AT length when General Beau.
regard came out in February, be expressed
his surprise at the smalness of my force,
and was very much impressed with
the danger of my position. / admitted
what was so manifest, and laid before him
my views for the future, in which he entire
ly concurred."
Here is another confession
"The command lat Fort Donelson) was
irregularly transferred, and devoIved upon
the junior General, but not apparently to
avoid only just responsibility, or from any
want of personal or moral intrepidity. The
blow was most disastrous, and almost With
out remedy. l, therefore, in my first re-
port remained silent. This silence you were
kind enough TO attribute to my generosity.
/ will not lay claim to the motive to excuse
my course. observed silence, as it seemed
to be the best way to serve the cause and
the country
That is to say there was not only imbe-
cility in the rebel command, but Johnston
was so thoroughly Disguised that be said
nothing at all. The concluding passage of
the letter, taken in connection with the
Tennessee battle, and the subsequent death
of the writer, has melancholy interest.
It is as follows:
1.-THE test of merit in my profession,
with the people, is success. 1t is hard
rule, but l think it right. If l join this
corps to the forces of General Beauregard,
l confess hazardous experiment, then
those who are now declaiming against me
will be without an argument.
Your friend, A. s. JOHNSTON.

The Telegraphic News.

The reported seizure of Beauregard's
dispatch calling for reinforcements is con.
frmed. 1t was found by Gen. Mitchell 10
the telegraph Office at Huntsville, Alaba>
ma. About one,third of the men called for
had gone over the road before it was seiz.
ed. The remainder were compelled to stop
at Chattanooga, and other points. Gen.
Mitchell has accomplished very important
work in destroying the Railroad facilities
of the rebels. He captured thirteen loco.
motives and large number of cars, and
has sent them to Nashville, where they will
be put to good use.
Edward Solomon, the Lieutenant Gov
ernor of Wisconsin elect, has assumed the
Office of Governor, in place of Gov. Har-
ney, drowned on the Tennessee river.
From rebel source, on account comes
of defeat of Union men of East Tennes-
see, with the killing of IS and capture OF
500. The Union men, or |" Lincolntes,' ~
were on their way to Kentucky.
The rebel papers contain an account
of the repulse of Burnside, and a severe
Union loss, in an attack on Elizabeth City,
North Carolina. There is probably some
foundation fosthe report.
The siege of Yorktown is said to De
progressing satisfactorily--the same of
Fort Macon--and the same of Fort
Wright on the Mississippi. We must be-
lieve it is go, although most people would
be little better satisfied if the details
were allowed to be published.
Two hundred rebel soldiers have been
killed at Greene. Tennessee, by railroad
accident.
The President has assumed the respon-
sibility of the arrests made by order Of
Secretary CAMERON. What Congress viii
do to legalize them remains to be seen.

Letter from Hon. Henry Acker.

We are permitted to publish the follow
ing private letter received by Charles
Nichols, Esq, from Mr.. Acker:
On BOARD THE STEAMER CHAsP1oN,l
CAIRO, April II, 1862.
FRIEND NlcHoLs--We arrived at this
place yesterday morning, and last evening
we obtained an order from Gen. Strong,
the commandant here, to pass us up the
river to our place of destination. The pres
sure is so great to obtain permission to visit
the last and most fatal battle ground, that
it is exceedingly difficult to get permission
togo up, as General Halleck had telegraph
ed to General Strong the day before we
reached here to stop the influx of citizens.
We hope, however, now to have DO further
trouble. We shall leave about three
o'clock today Thursday and expect to
reach P.ttsburg Landing in about thirty six
hours. How long we shall be detained
there or how much difficulty encounter in
finding Williams remains, we cannot, Of
course determine. We hope, however, to
return on this boat.
The horrors of war are most clearly de-
picted at this point. Transports and
steamers are frequently arriving with their
cargoes of manned, wounded and suffering
soldiers. 1t makes the heart bleed to wit
ness their sad condition. Mr.. Sedgwick,
my brother inslaw, met me here and goes
up with me, and Mr.. Goddard is also with
ne, going up for the body of his brother,
Major Goddard, of one of the Illinois regi-
ments.
shall never cease to be grateful to YOUR
self and our other kind friends at home for
their kindness and sympathy in this our
deep affection.
Truly your friend,
HENRY ACKER.

SUsPENsIoN.--We learn from banker oil
this city that DR.. Carli's Bank at Stillwa-
ter was closed on Monday, and that it ceas-
ed at that time to redeem the issues of City
Scrip bearing the endorsement of Dr. Car
Ii. Unless some arrangement is made to
protect this currency the people OF this city
will be losers to q considerable sum, as
there was large amount of it in circulation
here. 1t has heretofore passed readily at
par, but yesterday it fellto 60 cents on the
dollar, and that, it is said, is about as much
as holders will realize unless the endorser
makes it good.
Washington county scrip, land perhaps
some of the city, in circulation, is endorsed
by Darling and Scheffer, and is presumed
to be good for its face.

of the owners of the lots and lands thus
summarily rushed into market are not given,
and it is possible the advertisements are not
authorized or approved by them.

Much alarm begins to BE- manifested
throughout Northern and Central Illinois,
with regard to the coming crops Of spring
grain. During the last four or five weeks.
it has rained almost daily, till the soil is so
thoroughly saturated with water as to pre-
clude the possibility for some time of either
blowing, sowing, or planting.
