The River

Is now very high at this place. The
lamp-posts along Water street stand
far out in the water, nearly up to their
tops Some of them have been broken
down by drift logs. The railroad track
and turntable, near the wharf boat,
are under water, and most of the
houses from Upper Fourth to Lower
First streets, have been vacated.
Some few who built their houses on
high foundations, remain in them, and
have communication with the city and
their neighbors by means of skiffs.
Mr.. DuckwalPs residence, on Upper
Fifth, is still on dry ground, but has
not much terra frma to boast of.
Captain Reamer's mammoth ware
house, against which steamers now,
land, is above water a foot or more,
but it may yet be compelled to go un-
der before the river falls.
SINCE yesterday noon about one
inch Of water has fallen This will
check the anticipated fall in the river,
and may bring it several feet higher
than at present If the rain has been
general over the country, people may
look out for the ,largest river seen for
many years. The country from here
to the mouth of the Ohio, has been
flooded for about four weeks, and
the people need not expect relief
for two or three weeks to come.
With the river so high, so many houses
nearly half covered, corn cribs
barns, stables and fences deep in the
water "a heavy wind, at this time would
do vast amount of damage, setting
nearly everything on the low grounds
adrift. The steamers can land at but
few. places along the shore. The
mail, passengers and light freight, are
frequently sent ashore in the yawl.
Sometimes, with great hazard, skiffs
go from the shore 10 the mail boats

lucky, passed down yesterday on his
return from Frankfort, the Legisla-

The Janus-Faeed Democracy.

The New Albany Ledger is the only
one of the Democratic papers of Indi-
ana, which has had the courage to
make a remonstrance against the
course of the Rebel Democracy of
Kentucky in ostracising the little
remnant of Unionism in that or
ganization, and in preferring for the
Offices of profit and power only those
known during the war as rebels or
rebel sympathizers. We commend
the article to our contemporary, the
Courier, which has rushed, with such
ill-judged impetuosity, into the en-
brace of the Kentucky political mon
strosity known as the Exanimate
Democracy 1t is true the voice
which the Ledger raises against this
inopportune marriage of the Northern
Democracy with the Kentucky rebels,
fresh z from Confederate battle
fields, is feeble and tremulous, and
has little of the ring of old Jacksoni-
an Unionism, but it plainly indicates
the danger to be anticipated to the
Northern wing of the party from such
association and sympathy. The
Ledger very plainly intimates the
truth of our assertion, which we have
asked the Courier in vain to success
fully refute, that all the candidates
on the State ticket, with single ex-
ception, are either secessionists or
anti-war men," and the Ledger fur
Their says:
at is short-sighted policy on the part of
the politicians or people,who have brought
it about. for the secession leaders. above
all others, are interested in having the
events of the four years of war forgotten as
soon as possible, inasmuch as they were
the defeated party. f *
"Atthe same time, however, that we think
this course of the ex-secessionists to be the
worst thing they could do for themselves,
because its tendency is to ALLEVIATE men
from the Democratic party of Kentucky
who are in full sympathy with the Demo-
cratic party of the North, we cannot assent
to some of the arguments adduced by the
Louisville Democrat and its adherents, for
getting up third party f.t1 {tt}
And thereupon the Ledger pro-
ceeds to show the folly of the ostra.
cised Union Democracy attempting
the organization of a separate party.
1t will be remembered that the meet
ing, which assembled at Frankfort
last week to inaugurate this third
party, passed a series Of resolutions.
which are almost an exact counter
part of the Indiana Democratic plat
form of the last canvass, Here we
have this anomalous condition Of po-
litical affairs-the Democratic press
of Indiana repudiating its own plat
form Of principles, and denouncing
the men who seek to apply it to the
party called by the same name over
the border. What answers for the
party in Indiana is out of place in
Kentucky. Probably our astute
neighbor, the Courier, Acan reconcile
this 'irrepressible conflict. But
we are impressed with the belief that
the Sentinel, which we regard as the
exponent of . orthodox Democracy
hereabouts, evinces more of political
wisdom in. cutting the gordian knot
by denouncing BRAMLETTE, JACOB,
HARLAN, and the rest of the third.
party men as disorganizers and Radi-
Gals, and not entitled to call them
selves by the name of Democracy.
