A Large Farming District Submerged.

A Large Farming District Submerged
There are certain portions Of the west Of
England, in the county Of Norfolk which
are not unlike Holland, The country being
lower than the sea, and protected from ii
by massive barrier banks. BY the latest
advices from England we learn that one OF
the principal suices near Lynn had burst
that the waters Of the North Sea had broken
in. aud no less than thirty thousand acres
OF land were completely deluged. The Lon
don Times says:
The district at present flooded are Marsh
land Fen, the Smeeth, Broad aud Short
Fcns and parts of Magdalen Fen and Bar
dolph Fen. Farm yards are full Of water,
the straw floating about; barns have been
hastily cleared of grain, aud, where possible
ricks Of wheat aud beans are being carted
to the higher spots Of ground about
the "Marshland" villages. Here also the
sheep and cattle from the threatened or
drowned fcns have been collected, Gotta
gers have been driven at short notice from
their homes, some moving their down stairs
furniture into the chambers; others being
able TO carry off most of their mOveables in
carts, and house after house is TO be seen
with waves tapping at the brick walls and
wetting the door handles. while hedge tops
denote the site of the garden aud its sub
merged vegetables.
Where the food is the deepest the rowe
of pollard, willow, of thorn bushes, and the
top bars Of gates indicate where enclosures
OF cropping lie; and on the outskirts Of the
bright sheet Of water you see ine wheat
crops with their rank green flags, forward
peas and beans, ridges wtere the potatoes
are but lately planted, fallOws half pre-
pared for mangold and turnip sowing-over
all Of which the water Is siealthiy creeping
and killing all with its deep irrigation OF
brine The loss of property 1t Is impossible
20 calculate-perhaps G6 TO elO an acre for
the cropping, now totally destroyed; but
who can value the whole damage, except
by saying that scores of farmers have had
suddenly swept away every vesiige Of veg
etable produce on their farms, and Of
course have all the years. expenses to meet
with no hay-lime aud no harvest. The
greater portion of occupers of the flooded
fields have other land not likely TO be
reached by The salt dcluge; but nevertheless
IL is probable that the greatness of the de-
struchon will ruin hundreds Of families.
That The breach will not be closed for some
time is probable, because il operated as
safety valve. relieving the drain aud the in
coming tides, and, by thus diminishing the
pressure, preventing more destructive
breaches Of the eastern bank and further
inland.

BUSINESS MANS MoTTo.-The excavations
a: the buried cities Of Pompeii and Hercula-
neum, Pezzerol, and CRpua are going on with
renewed yigor, under the stimulus Of an ap-
preparation of money for the purpose from the
Italian Government. Heretofore Naples had
the work under its exclusive care and control.
At Pompeii new frescoes have been discovered
and there is an inscription on the wall Of what
was probably workshop Of some kind as fol
lows: "Otiosis hic locus non est. Discede,
Morator" This may be translated, "This
place is not for the lazy. Loafer, depart."
This inscription is as good for industrial estao-
lishments Of modern times, as il was for those
of ancient Pompeii. Its discovery is interest
ing from the fact that il shows that human ma
ture was the same eighteen centuries ago IN
Italy as II is now in America; that there were
lazy folks and loafers who would intrude into
the work shops, and waste the time or divert
che attention Of the workmen; and that il be-
came necessary to put up inscriptions. giving
general warning 70 all such to depart.

lola Correspondence Leavenworth Conservative. ]
The mail yesterday brought us the in
.elligence of Gen. Lanes appointment In
command ofthe troops Of this Depart
ment. 1t passed from one to aoother un-
til every man in camp caught the strain.
and the mass entered into one general
hurrah for Lane. The fact of his appoint
ment involuntarily gladdened the hearts
of the soldiers as the early streaks of dawn
ing day cheers tho weary and lost travel
err.
The response was so UNIVERSAL that it was
deemed advisable to hold a meeting. at
which the men could give vent to their
feelings of gratitude, The soldiers and
cirizens were called together by order oi
Major Clark The Major congratulated
the men upon the appointment of theil
choice at their head. IL was proper. fol

pirate remarks from the Maj jor: Captain
Killen introduced the following rcsolu

WHEREAS, From considerations of poll

Military Department be created for the
West, and as Kansas has furnished the
major part of the troops for said Division

Resolred, That in the opioion of this
Battalion, the President has manifested
wisdom in the appointment of James H
Lane as Major General of said Department
Resolved, That in Gen. Lane we recog-
nize the leader by nature--and we will fol
low him in restoring peace to our dis
tracted country, at whatever cost OF blood
and treasure.
Resolved. That this Battalion will never
lay down arms until every invading foe il

Resolced. That our country shall be
freed from rebel influence, arsd the Star
and Stripes shall wave triumphantly owe
every foot of soil of our beloved country
The resolutions were received with deaf.
ening cheers. Three cheers were givel
for Jim Lane and the Kansas troops.
Capt Morton, of Butler county. was in
troduced to the soldiers. He entertained
them with that good old song, the "Sta
Spangled Banner" Three cheers wer
given for Morton and his brave oand. who

Slidell case says:
1t is possible our government did the
wisest thing in giving up Slidell and Ma

we were fearful it would complicate mat
ters and was therefore unfortunate. The
question was not free from difficulties. and
as we were not sure we were right. per-
haps it was better that we should not "go

But we must confess that we have but
slight hopes of being able to avoid war

time. Her sympalhies have been SO man.

start. exhibited in a thousand different
ways, concluding with the tremendous ex-
element and belligerent preparations eau
sed by the Trent affair-that it seems To us
pretext will not long be wanting for for
cling q war upon the United States. Great
Britain seems to think that this hour of
our national peril and trouble is her gol-
den opportunity. and she intends to i'm
prove it to our ruin. if possible. With
Canada on the North. and the Confederate
States relying upon her for protection at
the South, Great Britain doubtless thinks
she will have the young republic complete

We may be mistaken in all this. We
hope we are. But the apparent extraordi-
nary readiness of Great Britain to engage
in war on such question as that of the
Trent. looks very much as If she were on

ed at having found one at last. And
when war does come. our people may rest
assured of one thing-Great Britain will
have France to help her, and we will have
both to fight. in addition to the Southern
rebels. The prospect is not very inspir-
ing one, but we may as well look facts in
the face.
