but the flood on the Mississippi has overrun all
the plantations and houses along the river.
Great distress prevails among the inhabitants
along the banks OF the river, some Of whom offer
20 give all they possess to have their families
moved from their houses which the water threat
ened to carry down the river.

Cincinnati. Ma,


Wendell Phillips attempted to lecture
at the Opera House tonight. He COM
menced by avowing himself an Abolition
ist and disunionist. Persons in the gal
leries thea missed, yelled, threw eggs and
stones, some of them hitting him. The
kissing was kept up for some time, when
Phillips finally made himself heard and
proceeded until something again objec-
tionable was said, and again eggs were
thrown, hitting him. Phillips persevered
the third time, and for the third time eggs
and stones were thrown, and the crowd
moved down stairs crying, 'Put him out"
"Tar and feather himp' And giving groans
for the niger, Wendell Phillips, and pro-
ceeding down the middle aisle toward the
stage, were met by some Of Phillips
friends. Here fight ensued amidst the
greatest confusion, ladies screaming, cry
ing, jumping over chairs and falling in all
directions. During the fight Phillips was
taken off from the stage by his friends.
and the audience moved ost. 1t is now
10 o'clock, and the streets in the vicinity
of the Opera House are crowded with ex-
cited people unable to find Phillips. No
one seriously hurt so far as we can learn.

A few days since We published special
from the Chicago Tribune, announcing
that Wendell Phillips had lectured in
Washington City. And appended to the
announcement the following editorial re-
mark, suggested BY the CIRCUMSTANCE and
the contrast, neither moro nor less:
Just think Of it! Wendell phillins
lectures in Washington in the opening Ct
the second year Of Lincoln's Presidency
and the platform is graced BY the vice
President and the Speaker Of the House
The world moves, don't ity The Bit
tersst anti-slayery lecturer of the earth j.
heard and cheered in our Capital. where
two years since he would have been moh-
bed and murdered.
And upon these premises our candid
and Logical neighbor draws the copclu.iop
that W are not only an Abolitionist but
q disunisnist also, and holds us respons;.
BILE for the sentiments of the lecture itself
which We had never seen.

On Thursday last an expedition left
Newbern in steamers, went down the riv-
er and struck the railroad, and took up
the march for Beaufort, with hand-cars
from Newborn. No opposition was made
to the advance of our forces.
On the evening Of the Goth the rebels
learned of our approach, blew up Fort
Macon, fred the Nashville, and retreated
across the river to Morehead City and
Carolina City, and finally in the direction
of Washington. Beaufort was almost en-
tirely evacuated by the people Our
troops occupied the place next day
On the same day (the 20th) Gen. Burn
side sent a force with several gun boats to
Washington. No opposition to landing.
Our troops occupied the town, and the
Union flag is now flying on the Court
House.
There was nothing new at Newbern.-
Our rickets extend about eight miles
towards Goldsboro. On Wednesday last
three men strayed beyond our lines and
were made prisoners by troop Of rebel
cavalry. The inhabitants are gradually
returning to the town, and taking the oath
of allegiance.
