DESERTED.

The river flowed with the light on lis breast,
And the waves went eGdyins by,
And the round ned sun went down N the west,
When my loves loving lips 70 my lips were preS'
Under the evening sky
Now weeping alone by the river stray.
For my love has left me this many DAY;
Left me TO droop and die
As the river flowed then, the river flows still,
In ripple and foam and spray,
On by tie church, and round by the hill
And under the >luice of the old burnt mill.
And ont 10 the fading day;
Bet hove il no more, for delight grows cold
When the song is sung and the tale Is told,
And the heart IS given away.
Oh. river run far Oh. river. run fast
Oh. weeds. float out IN the sea
For the sun has gone down on my beautiful past
And the hopes that ike bread on the waters cast,
Have driited away like thee.
So the dream il is lied, aud the day il is done,
And my hps still murmur the name Of one
Who viii never come back 10 me

effects, but one person was thought to
have been lost in these connections.
The morning after the first shock, as
some men were crossing the Mississippi,
they saw black substance floating on
the river, in strips four or FIVE rods in
breadth by twelve or fourteen rods in
length, resembling SCOT from some i'm
mense chimney, or the einders from some
gigantic stove-pipe. 1t vas SO thick
that the water could ret BE seen underit.
In the Mississippi river, about FIVE
miles above what was then called the
first Chckasaw Bluffs, but in later times
Plum Point, was an island about three
miles long. covered with 4 heavy growth
of timber, which sank in one of these
shocks to the tops Of the trees, which
made the navigation extremely danger
Gus in Low stage of the river.
About four miles above Paducah, on
the Ohio river, a large circular basin
was formed, more than one hundred feet
in diameter, by the sinking of the earth,
how deep no one can tell, as the tall,
stately oak sank below the tops Of the
tallest trees. The sink filled with
water, and continues so to this time.
For one whole hour, the mighty cur
rent Of the Mississippi was turned back
ward towards its source, until its dam
med up waters were able to break
through the barrier; boats were dashed
to pieces and drifted about ike feathers,
or thrown out on the banks, while amid
the awful commoticn, loud rumblings
were heard, and the electric fires flashed
up and down and every way through
the air. A few years ago, it was said
that forests and brakes were still
visible at the bottom of lakes then
formed. The devastation extended over
a tract of country three hundred miles
long, from the mouth Of the Ohio to the
St. Francis river. In some places mud
and water were thrown over the tallest
trees, and great assures broke in the
ground, running uniformly from the
northeast to the southwest. The people
observing this, cut down trees at right
angles with the direction of the assures,
and climbing thereon, escaped being
engulfed. Hundreds of these chasms
were discovered seven or eight years
after the calamity anu as late rs 1916
they still appeared like artificial trench
es dug by some great army. They
were generally parallel, and ranged
from ten to forty five degrees west of
north. The region is still called ''The
Sunk Country" and its extent a'ong
the White Water is some eighty miles
north and south, and thirty miles east
and west. Humboldt remarked that as
one of the most wonderful convulsions
known to history, since the vibrations
continued through several months, and
finally eliminated in the destruction
of Caracas.

A SOUTHERN CAND1DATEs S CARD

A SOUTHERN CANDIDATES s CARD
The following announcement of can
didate was found posted on a tree by
the roadside, and brought to the editor
of the Jackson Mississippian, who gave
it a gratuitous publication:
.7HeatiOn, Sorereigns Allow me,
through the medium, to introduce my
self 70 your acquaintance as a candidate
for assessor of taxes Of Kinds county.
If any one should be SO inquisitiye as to
ask why man Of my gigantic intellect
should fly so low, my answer is this ::
The Feds, in May, 1864, deprived me
of my left wing; therefore vaulting
ambition must stoop her flight to a level
with my capability. Again, should any
one wish to know why do not have
printed bills, l would ciyilly reply that
my pocket-book would laugh for week
at the rustic Of a greenbaek, and would
never survive the faintest clink Of me-
taic currency. Iwould like very much
to call on the dear people, and talk to
them face to face; but, to effect this,
my little school would have 10 close,
and with it my bread and butter.
Under these circumstances, hope to
be excusable. With high regards, l
am yours TO command.

JUAREz.-A correspondent Of the
Chicago Republican gives the following
personal description of Juarez, the
President Of Mexico:
Senor Juarez seems to be in the
neighborhood of fifty, is of low stature,
stoutly built, but, though broad in pro-
portion to his height, not corpulent. He
is not much taller than the late Senator
Douglas, but much better formed. His
face is Indian in every feature; there
is no mistake about it. | should have
recognized him anywhere as an undeni-
able Pueblo. He has good, clear,
steady eye, indicative Of self-possession
and quiet but keen penetration. He
has a well formed, well developed head.
His hair is the straight, coarse, thick,
blue black hair of the Pueblo. His
nose is aquiline and prominent. His
mouth is the curveless land, if may
venture the expression,} lipless, tightly
closed, Indian mouth. 1t is very indi-
cative of quiet but deep determination.
All these features, however, harmonic
into very pleasing ensemble, and we
were all much pleased with the Presid-
ent. Judging him physiognomieally, |
should take him to be man Of sound,
common sense, of honest purpose and
resolution. There was nothing whatever
in his manner, appearance or actions to
indicate that he considers himself strug-
Cling in the last agonies Of an all but
lost cause.

A YOUNG MAN having gone to has
uncle fer advice, was told that ''every

He says he can place himself in almost
any position, except the one referred to,
and asks Literary" journal how it is
done! The editor gravely informs him
that "stern necessity will teach him."
"Ev1L communications corrupt good
manners" This is why the Southern

A Piece of Political History-The Chi
cago Democratic Convention and the
Camp Douglas Plot.


Camp Douglas Plot.
The following appears in the Buffalo
On. y Express:
About jane 1st Of this year, I was
stationed at Selma, Alabama. One
morning, | received visit from Colonel
Cunningham, c. S. A., late chief Of staff
for General John Morgan, Of Ohio raid
notoriety. The conversation turning
upon horse flesh, Colonel Cunningham
said that in the summer Of 1864 he was
ordered from Chicago, Illinois, to Rich
mond, Virginia, and not daring to take
the cars, he made the entire distance
from Chicago to a point in Virginia
where he could take cars for Richmond
at the rate of fifty miles day. Nat
urally, this drew out inquiries as to
what he, a Confederate Colonel, was
doing in Chicago in the summer of 1864.
Colonel Cunningham said that he was
delegate to the Chicago Democratic
National Convention from a district Of
Southern Illinois (his residence is in
Tcnnessee), and that he had the honor
of voting for the nomination of McClel-
Ian. His real errand there, however,
was to release the prisoners at Camp
Douglas. He had three hundred picked
men Of his own command concentrated
at Chicago. UPON these he could rely,
and he also had the promise Of three
thousand Copperheads to assist him.
He said he found the "Copperheads to
be only water snakes. They took to
the tall grass At any rate, he got
no practical aid from them, as he said,
because they were the d-dest towards
on the footstool."
Colonel Cunningham further said
that with his reliable three hundred men
he could, at some loss, have taken Camp
Douglas the evening before the Conven-
ton met; that he would have done so
if everybody else had been as plucky as
Alexander Long, of Ohio; that Long
was game but that Nallandigham
was a thoroughgoing coward, and his
lack Of moral courage defeated the
whole enterprise.
Colonel Cunningham is now, l believe,
at Nashville, Tennessee. Should this
meet his eye, he will recognize the au-
thor, and l am personally accountable
to him for the above as correct version
of conversation which had several
witnesses. He will not dispute it; and
l only need to call attention to the
facts it exhibits:
First-It shows that at least one
Cofederate officer Of high rank was
delegate to the Chicago Democratic
Convention, and a supporter of Ne
Clellan.
Second-That the author of the
Chicago platform of 1864 and some of
the leaders of that Convention were
cognizant of and particeps criminiS in
an attempt to release some ten thousand
rebel prisoners and turn them loose in
the streets Of Chicago to commence the
work of rapine and bloodshed. H.
The Express adds: The importance
Of the above statement has led us to
request permission to publish the name
of its author. This having been granted,
We have only to state that I'll" is the
