From Sheriff King, who traversed a
large portion of the Rhoot river valley
during the early part of this week. we
LEAN some further particulars concerning
the recent loss of life ard property in
that valley by the flood. Twenty two
persons are known to be drowned, and
fourteen of The bodies were recovered,
leaving eight still missing. The family
OF Mr.. Weisel, consisting of the old gen
tleman, his wife, daughter in law, little
boy, and Mr.gand Mrs. BIase, of Burr
Oak, Iowa, ware all drowned except the
young Mrs. Welsel, who was borne some
eight miles down the stream upon the bed
in which she had been sleeping, when she
escaped over drift wood, scarcely able to
tell how. The residence of Mr.. Yelling
ton, situated about half mile below that
of Mr.. Weisel, was also swept away, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Wellington and grandson
were drowned. The body of Mr.. We'll
lington was found some four miles below
his place, and that of Mrs Wellington,
with her grandson clasped in her arms,
was found in the ruins of the house,
which had been carried bat short dis
lance from its foundation. About sigh-
teen miles below tbs place of Mr.. Wei
lington, Norwegian family of eight per-
sons is missing, and as three bodies have
peen recognised as belonging to the fam
lily, it is supposed that they were all
drowned. On Riceford creek, about
three miles below the village of Riceford,
Mrs. McCabe and two children were
also lost, one. of the bodies not being re
covered at last accounts. Mr.. King Irav-
eled from RushfOrd twenty miles down
Rhoot river, and everywhere there were
traces of destruction by the food. Ex-

THE EXTRA BOUNTY.

The enthusiastically Department
is daily receiving from 500 to 1000 APP
plications for extra bounty under the
equalization act. As the Military Board
having in charge the preparation of rules
and regulations effseting the disbursement
of the SEQ, coo, 900 has not yet reported,
these claims viii probably remain on fle
for some months yet. 1t IS stated that
Paymaster General Brice viii officially
inform all interested in this appropriation
as soon as their accounts shall be ready
for adjustment.
It will be recollected that Immediately.
after the passage of the bounty bill. the
Secretary Of War appointed Board, with
Gen. Candy as President, to decide upon
the proper construction Of the bill, and
to frame rules 10 govern the various de-
partments in making payments under it,
provided the bill was so drawn as to war
rant payments. II now appears that the
Board had prepared its report setting forth
that the law was explicit, and also present.
ing all rules necessary to the various
classes of disbursements under the law.
By direction of the President, this re-
port has been suppressed. This suppress
sion occurred in connection with the or
der to the Second Auditor not to pay
bounties provided for at the late session
of Congress. So, for the present, no
bounties will be paid, and the time for
such payments is indefinite.
1t appears from the above from the
New York Tribune, of August s2d, that
the Board of commissioners have already
reported the rules for the government
of the Paymasters in paving the
bounty authorized by the last Congress.
We hope the statement that the report
has been suppressed by the President is
not correct. He certainly would not
let his hatred Of Congress carry him so
far as to attempt TO stop for time, the
payment Of these just claims to our sol
diers. We know that Mr.. johnson has
descended to about the lowest depths of
meanness, but for the sake of the coun-
try and for the sake of The human race
we hope this part of the Tribune's State
ment is premature.

who could Guido US in their execration of
the Radicals, and who expressed them
selves earnestly in favor of a reunion on
a perfect restoration of old rights. Thew
announce their readiness to CO operate
with any organization that should 6ghl

as well as from Massachusetts,, who a.
cordially detest Thad. Stevens and hil

Union men will not fail to note the fol-
lowing significant phrase in Gen. DIx's
speech:
1 believe that public opinion is ripe.
and that it is only necessary to present to
the people clearly the issues between us
and the other parry which controls the
action of Congress.
Those. says the Albany Journal, who
have bsen excusirg themselves for their
sympathy with this movement, on the
ground that it was not intended 10 dis.
turb existing party relations, will learn
from this how they have been mistaken.
Gen. Dix speaks of .'the other party
that is, the Union party, as the party to
be put down by the resurTected democra-
CT: and those who go with this PhiIadel-
phia movement must GO with the Demo-
cratic party or fail TO come up to what is
intended.

The Christian population of Gambia
have risen in arms, and proclaimed their
independence of Turkey. Troops have
been sent for to subdne them. Gambia
is an island, forming the extreme south
ern limit of the GFecian Archipelago,
and belongs to Turkey. 1t is beautiful
and highly productive little couutry of
about four thousand square miles. Its
history is an eveniful one. SanguinaIy
wars have decided its ownership for cen
turtles. The Saracens held it for two
centuries, the Venetians for four more,
when the Turks, in 1869, after struggle
of twenty four years, wrested it from the
Saracens. Revolutions broke out in 1921 !,
and again in 1871 and in 1858, but they
only frightened the Turkish yoke. IL
1880 the allied powers gave it to the
Viceroy of Egypt, who retained it until
1910, when it was restored to Turkey.
