TIE FLOoDs.-A letter from Roches-
Ter, n. y, says about twenty-five stores
were swept down the river into the lake,
and there is hardly dry building to be
had for love the of money. Many who a
iewdays ago were in afilucnt circumstances
are reduced TO penury. Stores, mills.
bridges, &c, are all gone. Another ac-
count says that during the flood the gas
works were submerged and the supply of
gas cut Oft, thus adding darkness to the
other terrors. Many men remained
through the flood in their places of bust
hess, without being able to reach their
homes.
A good business was done by many in
transporting passengers across the water,
and a round price was offered in some
cases. The owners of some boats asked
five dollars. A hack driver refused to
take woman and two or three children
from a house where they were in danger
of drowning because they had no means
of paying him. Men were seen in boats
In various parts Of the city distributing
bread to persons who could not get out of
their houses. White flags were hung out
from buildings as 81 gnals of distress.

The Sugar Season.

But little maple sugar will be made in
Vermont this year on account of the sud-
den advent of spring, and the absence Of
frost in the ground Some farmers are
not tapping their orchards at all.-.Sprang-
,HeM RepubIcm
We think the above entirely an error,
or true only III some few localities. We
think the sugar season IN this section has
opened quite we'll, and it now bids fair to
lie more than an average year If we have
freezing nights the coming fortnight our
farmers will secure the most valuable bar-
vest of sugar that has been made these
many years.

The Military Situation.

The rebel victories over Sherman IN
North Carolina. which we heard so much
about last week. turn out to be nothing
but .kirmishes with his advanced columns,
resulting in some damage to both sides,
but not really amounting to any general
engagement The junction Of Sherman's
army with the forces of SchOtield and
Terry, Is understood to have been effected
with no serious opposition. The latest
from Sherman is to the effect that he had
occupied Goldsboro, and was marching a
column on Raleigh.
The attack on Fort Steadman last Sat-
urday by Lees forces in front of Grant,
was spasmodic movement, which if sue
ccs>ful might have caused the latter some
inconvenience, but as it was a failure, it not
only weakened Lees army the effect Of a
defeat. but about 1000 men in killed,
wounded and prisoners.
The last Army and Navy Journal
which is as good authority as we have, has
the following observations on the situation ::
The critical moment approaches All
our great Eastern armies are within COM
municating distance: I'LL the enemy's are
in direct cooperation, and, by means of
railroads, within actual supporting dis
tance. in case of battle. We possess the
advantage of men. Our effective armies
are more than POO, 200 strong. The enc
my can hardly be reckoned above $50, 600,
and probably falls below that estimate.
lie has once more, and mavoidably Sc
cured the advantage OF interior lines and
iarlIc communications. In one sense, there
for he may he said to have the advantage
Of position. In another. and an impor-
tan; Sense, he has not, because we rest up
on impregnable sea-bases, with heavy
fleets OF gunboats and transports, while
he has none For single battle, he is in
good position for a series, we are in bet
ter. The gradual narrowing of the field
OF conflict increases this temporary ad-
vantage of the enemy, but it relatively in
creascs our own superiority, provided the
first shock of arms be in our favor. In
direct communication between his two
columns, the enemy Is more fortunate than
We. But his railroad lines are slender.
and the rails and rolling stock in such
condition as to limit materially their ca
pacity in the transportation of men or
material. In supplies we are immeasur-
ABLY his suporior-so much so that the
question Of food and forage would decide
the contest, il ii were not that the arbi-
trament of arms must intervene. In the
fighting condition of the two opposing
armies, the advantage is with Us, because
or men are equally brave and better dis
ciplinel, more vi gorous, better fed, better
clothed AMI shod, better armed and equip.
ped. In morale, we have the prestige Of
the whole year on our side, and carry
banners covered all over with fresh in.
scriptons Of victory; but the enemy has g
dwindling army and an unprosperous cause
to drag upon his spirits. In generalshiE
we can safely trust our cavalryman Sheri-
dan against the cncny's Hampton, and
our Grant and Sherman against his John
son. or even his favorite Lee"

HUGE SwINDLE. Full one half of the
petroleum companies now advertising their
pretenslons in the various newspapers of
the day are frauds. 1t would be difficult
to crowd more atrocious falsehoods into
the same space than sonic of these con-
Germs contrlve to do in their advertisements.
Scores are before the public paying divi-
dends which never earned dollar in the
whole course of their existence, the divi-
dends being paid from stock subscriptions.
Others pretend TO own wells which pump
twenty to one hundred barrels per day,
when in fact they are not getting drop
of oil. There are now on record five
hundred and fifty companies. with NOM
lnal capital Of over three hundred and
titty-slx millions of dollars, while there
are less than three hundred wells contain
ing oil in the country. This bubble will
burst one Of these days, and great will be
the calamity thereof. BE guarded in time,
and exercise great care in the investment
OF your money in this line of speculation.

ALL SoLD.-The first issue of the
seven-thirty loan is all sold. The rapid
tv with which TINS loan has been taken up
by the people is without precedent Sub
scriptions will continue without Interrupt
ton for the new issue, which will be the
same as the first in every respect, except
the date The loan just completed bore
the date of August Is, 1864, and the one
to be taken now is dated June Is, 1865.
Those who subscribe before June Is will
have allowance made for the interest up
to that date. The success Of this loan for
the past two months has been most tlatter-
ing, and one of the most encouraging facts
about it is that it has been taken, not by
a few wealthy capitalists, but by the peo-
pie at large. The thrifty working people
Of the loyal states have indicated their
patriotism and their faith in their govern
ment's stability and solvency by making it
their savings bank.
