Inquiry is sometimes made by those who
would studythe oracclcs of God for some Com
mentary on the whole Bible. There is perhaps
more such than it is desirable to buy in these
of advancing biblical knowledge, The want
however, can be made up by books written by
different authors onspecisl portions of scrip
lures.
Prof Cowles, Of Oberlin, has recently pub
lished ''The Minor Prophets, with notes, and
it is just the book we want for that portion of
the Old Testament. The one volume is con-
venient octave, ofgood paper, type and arrange
ment, without Hebrew word in sight. 1t is
written by scholar for the common reader,
as well as for those skilled in Hebrew. 1t will
deepen the interest and profit 10 any one read
ing these brief and instructive prophecies from
Hosea to Malachi, to have at hand so condens-
ed and so excellent volume of helpful notes.
and we commend the volume toall serious
Bible readers. G. MT.

In business generally, and the, future of

Wool Circular.
OFFICE OF JOHN NJ. PEspLKros.
Wool Commission Merchant.

Wool Commission Merchant.
New York March Is 1867
Since the date of my last circular, the
wool market has been disturbed by the
passage fthe Tariff Bill, increasing the
duties on Wool and Woolens, and prac-
tically prohibiting the importation Of the
former AT the same time the Internal
Revenue law has been modified by the
reduction of the tax On wooden manu-
faetures from 5 to. % per cent, which is
regarded as of greater interest to the
trade than the Tariff Bill, as relieving
manufacturers from burthen which their
profits could i'll support.
The result of this legislation, afording
prospective rather than immediate relief,
has been generel stifening OF prices,
and the withdrawal of some parcels of
foreign Woods from the market,
Sufficient time has not yet elapsed to
test the effect of the new laws. Fleeces
have been held at an adv ance of to
cents per h., but, although transactions
have been noted which would have been
fortnight since, the adj
vance cannot be said to be farely es-

The MARYLAND Senators.

Quite little breeze sprung up in the Senate,
on the 18th on the presentation of the fcreden-
tials of Thomas of Maryland, and his offering
himselfto be sworn in. Mr. Howard promtly NOV
ed that he be sent to The judiciary Committee, to
investigate his record during the war. Stewart,
Drake, Nye and Sherman seconded the move
in effective speeches, while JshDson, Tumbul
Fessende9 were for his immediate admission
That Committee, as now reconstructed. cannot
any longer be carried by Trumbull, and will
most likely report against his admission.

and West Knoxville, were all impossible.
i he gas-w orks were all submerged.
8 Over 100 persons were washed out OF
their. houses. The towns along the iHol-
stein and Tennessee Rivers all suffered
severely. Whole houses were swept down
the river, filled with household food and
supplies. The farmers living near the
French Broad and, Holstein Rivers lost
everything they had. Houses, barns,
and fences were washed away, and the
stock all drowned. Great numbers of
wealthy farmers are left with nothing
but their bare lands, with crops all wash
ed out or covered with sediment.
One farmer, living eon an, island in the
French Broad, had his houses and barns
washed away his corn and cribs swept
off. and all his stock save two horses
drowned. He carried his family off IN
boat, and they are left perfectly destitute.
A Mr. Meredith, living on the Holsteln
near Bristol, lost Touring mill, and a
foundry, his, house and all his stock: loss
over $4,000, Vast quantities OF corn
had been gathered and stored on the riv-
er bank, waiting for high water. Thous-
ands of bushels Of corn on the Cllnch,,
Holstein and French Broad Rivers was
swept away, 1000 bushels In one lot. It
is estimated that over 100000, bushels of
corn. were lost in this way. Thousands
of bushels are now covering the bottoms
buried in the mud. The railroads all
lost heavily in bridges. The Knoxville
and Kingston Railroad had heavy
slide at Cooper Ridge. The East Ten
nessee and Georgia railroad lost bridges
near Chattanooga. The water in the
river was l2 feet higher than in the flood
of 1s4e. This food extended all through
West Virginia and Tennessee, and was
the most damaging, ever known. The
streams are still high, and hundreds of
families are encambed on the hill-sides.-
Great suffering must follow, as large fam
lilies are left without houses or supplies
Chattanooga was all submerged; the

ment which makes somewhat strongerfhe oath

Destruction Of Property on the Ohio.

FrOI- sne new Ork tribune.
CINCINsATI March 49,
The reports received from below repre-
resent great destruction of property ssby
the flood. Between New-Albany. and
Evansville the river is thirty miles wide.
Thousands of cattle, sheep, and hogs
have been drowned, and hundreds of
thousands of bushels of grain have been
lost. The country is covered with float
ing stacks of hay, wheat, and oats. Near
ly all the steamboat landings are under
water, and the boats cannot make their
landings. Shawneetowni is completely IN
undated in the lower part of Cincinnati.
and in Ceyington hundreds of houses are
under water.
The food here continues to,increase.-
The gas lamps along the river are out of
sight, and the first story of the houses
are completely submerged. Front and
Water-sts. are partially inundated. The
river will rise two or three feet more.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 13.
The river here is within four feet OF
the rise of l847, and five feet of the rise
of 1882, and continues to rise at the rate OF
one inch per hour. News from all direc-
tions represent the food as unprecedent-
ed. The roads are badly broken up by
the carrying away of bridges, culverts,
and land-slides. i
CAIRO, ILL.,, March 10.
The levee near Mound City broke this
morning. The breach is about 40 feet
wide and 6 inches deep. The citizens
are doing all they can to prevent an inun-
dationof the town.
KNOXVILLE Tenn, March 1a.
Seven days incessand raining swelled
the moantain streams until the valleys
became one vast river bed. The Holstein
River from its headwaters IN West Vir-
giIia to the mouth, was higher than ever
before known; at some points it was over
SO feet deep. The damages in, East Ten
nessee alone will reach $2,Ooo,0oo.-
Twenty-three houses were washed away
along the river bank at this point, and
one sash and blind factory lost with all It's
material, machinery, etc. A lumber yard
was also fioated off. The county bridge
built by Gen. Burnside during the siege
of Knoxville, was washed away. The

New South. Carlina,

The tidings from the capitol of South
Carolina, says the Ifi6nue, are calculated
to astonish the Rip Van Wrinkles of the
North. A grat meeting Of the People
has been held preliminary to reconstruc
tion of the State under the recent act of
Congress, and such eminent chiefs of the
late oligarchy as Gen. Wade Hampton
have fraternized heartily with the most
capable and trusted negroes the leading
Whites and blacks vying with each other
in expressions of mutual confidence and
good will. The Whites concede to the
blacks every right which they claim for
themselves; while the blacks take the
lead in asking Congress to repeal all dis
abling and disfranchising acts, SO as to
allow the State to command the services
of her ablest and most trusted citizens.
In short, South Carlina has already taken
her stand on the true, broad, generous
National Platform of Universal Amnesty
with Impartial Suffrage, and viii
soon be in Congress shaming the
obstinate owls of the Middle and
Western States out of their lingering
prejudices and affections of prejudice a
gainst recognition of the inalienable
Rights of Man.
Such is the natural, benefcient opera
ton of the Reconstruction act Of Con-
gress, SO fiercely denounced by the Presi-
dent and by the Copperhead Congress
man and journals, as an act ''to organize
hell'' in the South, to destroy Liberty,
and to whelln the whole land in anarchy
and military despotism. So far as We
can now see, every ex-Rebel State but
Texas will promptly and cordially re-
organize on the basis proposed by Con-
gress, and have its delegation ready to
take seats in Congress, before the close
of this year. What patriot heart does
not swell with gratitude and joy at the
prospect.
