The Disastrous Effect Of the Recent
Heavy Rains.

TogoSrO, May 16.-From all parts OF the
country come in reports of disasters from
freshets caused by the recen: protracted heavy
rains. At COburg. the numerous small lakes
in the townships back of Coburg and Belle
vile rose to an unusual height, and their out
lets increased in size and strength to such an
extent, and rolled onward with such force and
violence as to sweep every thing before them.
Mill dams gave way, saw and grist mills, barns,
stables and bridges were swept from their po-
sitiOns, carried down the stream and dashed to
pieces. Several substantial bridges on the
Grand Trunk Railway and large portions Of
the track were washed away, rendering traffic
along that portion of the road impossible for
some time. The extent Of the damage done,
or the probable cost of making the necessary
repairs, cannot at present be estimated, though
1t will take many thousand dollars to make
good the loss.

1t is quite probable that the outrages were
all committed by the same party, although q
special messenger was sent from District
Headquarters week since, to Lient Colonel

forming him that the scouts at the head Of the
Coteau had given warning that some small
parties were ON their way to the settlements

been received. although it is possible other
villainies have been perpetrated by the red

To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
We are still in Newbern safe and secure

say of several other places we have held. You
are aware we have given up q large share of
North Carolina, and our forces row hold a
precious little outside of Newbern and Beau

short of expressing his indignation at the con-

called men or soldiers, but cowarlly villains
who have disgraced the national uniform and
the proud flag under which We fight Every
decent man here hopes the beasts may be pro-

little service to the unfortunate women who

On Saturday the rebels sent in flag of truce

laughed at them, for we knew they had not
