Ohio River.
fTrnm ff1a Cafrf, Nars

We understand With regret that much
the land between CaiSp and Mound city Is un-
der water. md that par} Of the city itself has
been assailed BY the overflow. The river is
still rising, and fs running up our 1evccs at
an astonishing rate. We sympathize With
our sister city Ia her misfortune, and trust
that We may be spared the calamity Of sh.c-
Ing 1t: As ye: eli is right here. md 1t would
be gratifying to us to know that our little
slster-up the river is IN no greater danger than
ourselves although our informant stated that
the water was over the embanklnent in the
rear of the town, and q large portion was sub
merged.

EIniprafiOn

A number of our most intelligent citizens
met at the Custom House on Saturday even
ing, to discuss and prepare an efficient organ
ization to promote the introduction of laborers
from Europe, for the use of the Agriculturalists
of Virginia and North Carolina, and such other
States as may avail themselves of the facilities
offered by the company shortly to be establish
ed. The address delivered by Col. Geo. Blow
before the meeting above mentioned was lis
tened to with profound attention and ELECTED
the admiration of all present. 1t was marked
by profound thought and placed before the
hearers, in striking colors, the present and
prospective condition Of the two States, if per-
mitted to struggle on in the uncertain course
they are now pursuing, unaided oy the exer-
tons of such a society as is proposed to be at
once inaugurated in this city.
AT the conclusion of Col Blows address,
several gentlemen present gave their views,
at some length, to the best modes of perfecting
the intended organization
The following resolutions were offered by
Col. Blow, and unanimously adopted:
At meeting of the citizens of Norfolk held
at the Custom House, on Saturday the 18th
inst, it was resolved that, it is expedient that
a Southern immigration and Colonization
Society be organized, with view to the en-
couragement, introduction and protection
of settlers and immigrants into this, and
other Southern States and with this view,
that committee of five be appointed by the
Chairman, who shall draw up temporary
organization Of the Society, and report at
another meeting to be held at the Merchants
and Mechanics Exchange, on Wednesday
next, the 22nd inst, at Z O'clock, p. m.
Resoloed, That, William Aockhart, j. E.
Doyle, and Jonathan Dickinson, be COM
mittee to solicit members for this Society, and
to report at the next meeting
Mr. James E. Barry, the Chairman of the
meeting, appointed the following gentlemen
to compose the Committee to draw upa plan
for the temporary organization Of the Society
Henry Irwin, Col. Geo. Blow, w. w. Wing,
DIR. J. E. Bell, and E. c. Lindsay. The COM
mittee will be prepared to report TO the meet
ing to be held at the Merchants and Me-
chanics Exchange on Wednesday night. The
citizens of Norfolk generally are urgently re-
quested to be present at that meeting.

The Truth Coming Out.

A great " Teetotal Meeting was held at
the Academy of Music, in Brooklyn, on Fri

following is an extract from the proceedings:
"Mr. Trains resolution, forgiving and par
doning Jefferson Davis, brought down the
house. His illusions to the Rev Artemus
Ward Beecher toast, at the negro banquet,
was received with uproarious laughter
Il give you Massa Beech said the negro
chairman, him face am white, but he hab a

Mr. Train defended the South on Ander-

Resolved, That the man most responsible
for the starvation Of our prisoners was Edwin

Mr.. Train said that the truth will by and

FRAUDS ON THE NATIONAL REVENUE.
Pit-Hote, Nov. 17.-Within the past few
days, the Government officials have brought
to light facts which show most, extensive frauds
against the Internal Revenue Department.
Yesterday the officers seized wells Nos. Al "a
and 76, three of the largest on Thomas Hol-
den's farm. The Government claims amount
to $148,OO0, of which $88,000 is owned by
the United States Petroleum Company, and
about 1000 by large operators here, who, it
is alleged, last night made all their interests
