CINCINNATI, September 2O.-The Ohio
River has risen ten feet during the last forty
eight hours. With the exception of the

McPherSonville, opposite, is ten feet under
water, Families are forced to abandon their
homes. Three men were drowned at Pipua.
The Radicals are in intense agony over
the whitening rebuke General Grant gave
them at Cincinnati. Their feelings can be
imagined, but cannot be described. They
know now where he stands in this great
crisis Of our country's history, and they can
no longer doubt his firm adherence to the
wise and patriotic policy Of the President.
He is for Union, and because he is so, he is
on the side Of the communicative
Phil. Age.

Ina6eouacy Of Support.

We regret to learn from the Carolina
Spartan, that three of the ableSt ministers in
the South Carolina Conference, are about to
leave the State. Rev. DR.. Charles Taylor,
Rev. II. A. G.. Walker, and Rev. Jno- w.
Wigntman. These gentlemen are forced by
inadequacy of support,to leave the fields they
love so well. Who does not know II. A. c..
Walker, and DR.. Taylor, Of missionary fame,
and the Rev. Jno. W. Wightman, brother
of the present Bishop, DR.. Taylor has ac~
7cepted the Presidency of a college at Millers-
burg, near Lexington, Kentucky. Rev. Mr..
Walker will transfer his connection to the
Kentucky conference. We believe that Mr.
Wightman, also goes to Kentucky. They
do not change their .abors, only their fields
of labor, and that because they are driven
away for the want Of necessary support,

A new system Of small coinage is now un>
der consideration by the Government, and
will in all probability be adopted. The pro-
posed new cent is to be made Of nickel, the
same as at present, but the centre Of the coin
has raised star, the nucleus which is rep
resented by a hole through the coin. The
two cent pieces have TWO perforated stars,
and the three cent coins three Thus by
holding either denomination to the light, or
by simply touching them so as to feel the
holes, the value of a piece Of money is un>
mistakaby known. The half dimes and
dimes are larger coin Of better metal, but
are to be distinguished by one and two per-
forated stars. The plan is altogether novel
and will be an improvement upon the present
issue Of mint drops.

Conversions at a Wedding.

Mr.. EDITORS; One Of the most interesting
meetings ever attended, was closed yester-
day evening, at New Chapel Church, which
resulted in the Conversion of sixty~two souls
among the whites, and some few colored.
Religion is the theme of thought and con-
versation among the young and old. 10
prove that it is so, will relate the following
incident: On Wednesday evening, after the
Congregation had been dismissed, the young
converts and penitents concluded to have a
prayer meetings at my house, to begin at
candle light. It was rumored in the neigh
borhood, too, that couple were to be there
to be married, Sure enough the rumor was
correct. opened the services of the eVe-
ming by uniting in holy matrimony, Mr.
Jacob Crouch, of Edgefeld Dist, and Miss
ElYira Kelly, ofNewberry, both of whom had
been happily converted during the meeting.
Rev. Traywiclz conducted the prayer meeting,
which followed Immediately, and resulted in
the conversion of five souls. Conversions at
wedding! Think of it. May life be full Of
joy to the bride and groom who begin its
journey so auspiciously. Rev's Uncle Derrick,
Zimmerman, Traywick, Peurifoy, and my
father, of the NJ. E. Church, Rev. Menden>
hall of the Baptist Church, and Rev. J. H.
Bailey of the Lutheran Church, labored in
the meeting. May each Of these have souls
for their hire Again say, thank God for
Christian Communion. Up to date 400
have protessed conversion IN the bounds of
the circuit during the last quarter. 70 God
be all the glory. J. MARION BOYD.

The editor of the Anderson Intelligencer
puts forth the following pathetic appeal,
we know how to sympathise with him:
"WANTED, Lodging and meagre fare in
some benevolent and charitable institution.
for an editor, two printers, and the "devil.
The proprietor only seeks this charity until
subscribers are prepared to "fork over" their
dues to this Office"

For THE HERALD.

Mr.. EDIToR-As many solutions for the
difficulties Of the times have been offered,
and as all, as yet, have been entirely Un-
satisfactory, and as it seems Impossible for
the Legislature to do anything to relieve the
people permanently, Stay Laws and other
efforts of the kind being mere temporary
expedients, permit me to offer few sugges~
tions for the consideration Of your readers
It is generally. believed that all those debts
which weN contracted for negroes should
not be paid, inasmuch as the negro is now
no longer property, and the consideration for
the debt has entirely failed. Let JurieS
always so find in the trial Of causes of this
kind, How can it be said with any justice
or propriety that Smith owes his neighbor
Brown a thousand dollars for negro, when
the said negro is going at large as a free>
man, and subject to the control of neither
Smith nor Brown? Let the principle be ex>
tended to contracts for other shecies of pros
perty, and it will still hold good. John Doe
perhaps is not in debt to his neighbOr for a
negro, but he is for other property, and by
the loss of his slaves, he is ruined, as by that
loss his other property is reduced greatly in
value and his productive power is almost, if
not entirely destroyed. Now, my idea is
this, Let all cases arising from contracts be
tried by a jury, that is, let there be no judg-
ments taken by default; and as it is the duty
ofjuries to assess dapages, let them take
into consideration all the circumstances of
each case and give the Plaintiffs only nomi-
nal damages or none at all.
