ALEXANDRIA UNDER WATER
Captain Compere, of the steamer
Frolic, from Minden, who arrived Fri
day, reports that the levee at Alexan-
dria gave way on the morning of the
3lst ult., about two o'clock, above and
below the Ice House, submerging the
whole town and vicinity, and causing
great damage to property.
The Frolic left Alexandria at two
O'Clock P. NJ. on the same day. At that
time, there was from 3 to feet water
over the whole town and suburbs. The
people were hocking from all points,
in skifs and ON RATS, to the Ice House
for shelter froTa the flood.
The new brick house, just finished
and owned by Jacob Irving. and occu-
pied by Julius Leoim as billiard sa-
loon, and Isaac Levy's large brick
store, occupied by Sam'l Henaric as a
dry goods store, were washed away.
The loss sustained by Henaric must be
very heavy, as he had large stock of
goods on hand at the time of the over
flow.
The water rushed in through the
crevasse with terrible force, and it was
feared, when the Frolic left, that most
of the front buildings would give way.
The river was falling as far down as
Natehitoches, but rising from that
point to Alexandria N. O. Times,

Obituary.

Died, at her residence, in this parish on
the 9TH day of June, 1866, in the Both wear
of her age, Mrs MARTHA A. IyEY-relict oF
G: ID. Ivey, deceased-after painful illness
OF several weeks.
The deceased left three children. md an
endeared number of relatives and friends
to mourn their irsepairable loss. She was
the daughter 81 Maj. NJ Abney, of this
parish; and lady highly esteemed by her
neighbors and friends for her many virtues;
and dearly beloved by her own family and
relations. She was consistent member of
the Baptist Church, and the grief of her
friends, is much emeiOrated by the assur-
ance OF her future happiness Led by
hand to us invisible, she has crossed without
danger, that stream upon whose other shore
is beautiful land of light and peace and
joy--for she had long ago knelt at the feet
of Him whose voice once stilled the surging
pillows of dark Galilee, and claimed him as
her friend and guide. Remember that while
we mourn the temporary loss of our friend,
she is not dead, for of truth
There is no death The stars go down
10 rise upon some talrer shore;
And bright in Heavens ieweled crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death The leaves NAV fall.
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead
He leaves our hearts all desolate-
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad this scene of sin and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And where he sees a smile too bright,
Or hearts too pure for faint and vice,
| He bears them to that world of light
To dwell in Paradise.
| And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread
! For all the boundless Universe
Is iife-there are no dead"

"Man's inhumanity to man,
Makes countless thousands mourn"

MEMPHIS, June 4.-One hundred and
fifty Fenians are waiting for marching
orders here. A high Fenian official
says Gen. w. II. jackson, late of the
Confederate army, has accepted a COM
mission of Bragadier General in. the
Fenian army, and leaves for the front
to morrow.
The hest joke of the season. The
very idea of this fragmentary peice of
bloated insanity attempting to fright
the souls of fearful adversaries," with
the use of the name of Mud sill Jack
son." is extremely ridiculous. Every
Confederate soldier that knew the Gen
eral 60 in Mississippi and Tennessee
will vouch for his harmlessness in this
new move of his-this dernier resort in
search Of the ''bauble reputation"

IL Admiral Trent Wilkes has
bought big plantation in North Caro-
lina.-[Ex.
This speaks we'll in behalf of "loy-
atty" and honesty. He couldn't have
bought O. anything of the kind, be-
fore the fleeing of plethoric rebels,
during the past four years 'loyal har-
vest' took place. So we 60, in this
agrarian age-scme go up while others
come down, in the see-saw game OF
life.
