THE Journal don't like our. old
friend, Willard Carpenter. Esq, and
let's slip no opportunity to misrepre-
sent him. Now, Mr.. Carpenter was
present at a meeting in the Second
Ward, few evenings ago, and made
some remarks, but he said nothing
about the Straight Line Railroad He
spoke strongly in favor of the Evans
vile, Henderson and Nashville Rail-
road, yet the Journal, out of its little
spite, reports him as having spoken
for the Straight Line Railroad, when
he really never mentioned it. So
much for the accuracy of the Journals
reports, where its editors have per-
sonal or political ends to be sub
STRAIGHTFORWARD Of Saturday.
We wrote our report from notes
furnished by the Secretary of the
meeting, and the same was corrobo-
rated by another reliable gentleman
who was present, and subsequently by
another gentleman who was present
and took an active part in the meet
ing. We gave the report just as we
received it, have no spite at Willard
Carpenter. and have.not the remotest
idea that he feels aggrieved at being
set down as in favor of the Straight
Line Railroad, an enterprise he has
spent the best part of his life to
achieve.

a most shocking manner. One of his
legs was literally torn from his body,
and he was otherwise so seriously in
jured, that no hopes are entertained
of his recovery. Drs. VIM. Slaughter
and Thompson, of Newburgh, were
called to his assistance, and removed
the lacerated limb, but it is not be-
lieved he can possibly recover. His
parents live at Newburgh, but his
father, who is carpenter, we believe,
has been absent from home for some
time, and his whereabouts is not
known.

WARRIcK CIRCUIT CoURT.-The
March term of the Warrick Circuit
Court convenes to-day, Judge Par
rett on the bench. A large portion of
the bar from this city will attend this
term, leaving this morning for Boon
vile. The case of VIM Hidger, i'm
plicated in the burning of Bells
barn, near Newburg. will probably
be tried this term, unless change of
venue is taken, which is not improb-
able. The circumstances attending
the burning of the barn are familiar
to our readers, and the case is one of
great interest and Importance. We
hope to be furnished with a synopsis
of the trial, as it progresses, and the
result, when it terminates.

PAINFUL INCIDENT-A Young
LADY ATTEMPTS SUICDE.-We
learn that a young lady, whose pa
rents reside in this city, went on
board the steamer Sam. Orr, at Hen
derson, on Friday evening, and took
passage for Paducah. Before reach
ing Mount Vernon, she was discover
ed by the chambermaid sitting in a
char, IN her state-room, in state of
Inconsistencies. A physician, who
was on board, was called to her aid,
and restoratives were used, and, when
the boat left Mt. Vernon, hopes were
entertained of her recovery. One re-
port says she took morphine; another
that she took chioroform. The lat
ter theory is probably the correct one.
as her mother, we are told, saws she
has been in the habit of using chic

$ The FLOOD IN THE BAYoU.-From
gentleman who lives in the bayou"
nearly opposite Henderson, we learn
some interesting but painful particu-
lars of the ravages of the food in
that region. & Every house in the
bayou" is submerged, there being
seven inches of water in Squire Cat
let's house, which is. on the highest
ground in that section, on Saturday
morning. A vast amount of corn has
been destroyed. w. G. Mcdowell
saved but two hundred and sixty
FIVE sacks out of one thousand, the
balance, sacks and all, being gone.
John King lost Gig ht hundred sacks
Samuel Barker lost about twelve hun
bred bushels, besides many smaller
lots, Nearly every farmer lost about
one half his sound corn. No stock
has been destroyed, but the fences are
terribly demoralized. There has been
no special suffering among the people.
The County Commissioners author
lied Mr.. Heddrick to take a steam
boat and barge and render all neces-
sary aid to the people on the low
lands, but fortunately no aid of the
kind was necessary that could be effec-
tually rendered, the corn destroyed
being beyond the reach of the water.
The people are all supplied with
skifs and move about, like Condo
Tiers, at pleasure. The township levee
is washed away, also Atkinson's levee
above the city, and the floods were
pouring through in torrents.

The FLOOD IN GREEN RIVER
From a gentleman who arrived from
Green River yesterday, on the VIM.
White, we learn that the food in that
classic stream so far from having
abated, is rather on the itcrease. One
vast sheet of water covers the entire
lowlands for miles on both sides of
the river. Occasionally you will see
theltop of deserted dwelling, with
now and then dog or chicken on
the roof, the only sign of inhabitant
left. Birk City is entirely deserted,
the water being up to the tops of the
doors. Nearly all landings along the
river have to be made in skiffs or with
the yawl. The destruction of property
is very great, and the sufferings of the
people are pitiful indeed The large
carding machine and mills of Messrs.
j. W. Rollins and E. Flemming, at
Rumsey, are nearly covered with water,
and the machinery is ruined Bust
ness at all the lowland towns is sus-
pended. The merchants cannot make
collections, and the people cannot get
their crops to market upon which to
raise money. There is indeed much
distress, and the end is not yet.

Hartford, KY, a devoted Unionist
during the war, and now bold Radi-

tinction as Colonel of the Twelfth
Kentucky Cavalry.
Col. John A. Mann, of Mount Yer

says the citizens of Mount Vernon,

sees promising future for his young
city, and we hope his anticipations

Proposed New Route between Lakes
Michigan and Snsen.

An important project for sho3;ening the
route between Lake Huron aud Lake
Michigan by some 100 miles, Is under
discussion by our Contemporaries III the
northern portion OF the State. The pro
posed route Is frem the mouth Of She

ing and single lock- up MulIet Lake.
F. thence through the outlet of Burt Lake
connecting with Muilet, and thence to

passage still mere slpAet The distance
from Indian Lake to Little Traverse Bay,
an arm of Lake Michigan, Is about a
mile and a halt the two bodies of water
being separated hy slight elevation OF

construct canal involving, however, no
heavy excavations. The lakes above
saeetiened are laid down or some maps
as Long Lake and Crooked Lake. The
course of the projected route would seem
to be through the counties of Sheboygan

the matter of distance above mentioned,
which appears to us has been exaggerat-
ed, it is claimed as among the advantag-
,es OF this route that it will be open ear
