CINCINNATI, March l3.-Thc highest food
ever known was that of 1882, when the wa
ter was sixty-three feet IN the channel
the next highest was that of lS47, which
was but little less than that figure.
At dark last evening there were 81 feet
in the chs 'r"l. and still rising at the rate
of one-ha,r inch per hour.
Millcreek bottom, in the direction Of
Cumminsville, is one vast lake, and large
number of houses are deep in the water
The Hamilton and Dayton Railroad track
is high and dry.
The lower stories of all the buildings
from the Little Miami depot are overflow
ed, and in some cases the water reaches al
most to the ceilings; nearly all the coal
yards on the river front are half or more,
covered with water.
The lower portion of Sixth street is
several feet under water, and the floor of
the bridge is oyer1owcd. There is now no
travel over the street west of Freeman.
The number of houses i'm the West End
which have been rendered inhabitable will
exceed one hundred. Many of these
near the Millcreek bridge are in the water
up to their second stories.
Communication with the Newport and
COvngtOn bridge is entirelycut Off except
by skitfs, many of which are plying up and
down Bellevue and Isabella streets. The
water is on the first floors of probably a
hundred houses in that quarter of the city
bordering on Licking.
CAIRO, March l3.-All efforts to stop the
crevasse at Mound City have proved futile,
and the town is now completely inundated.
No lives lost.
The loss of property by the great over
flow at Wilmington, Illinois, is estimated
at over 100000. The frcshet on the Illinois
river is greater than has been known for
thirteen years.
The Wabash river last Sunday week was
near eight miles wide. The bottom coun-
try has been entirely submerged, to the
great destruction of all kinds Of property.
Families have been driven from their
homes, and are now camping upon adjacent
hills, while their homes are filed with
water.
The Lower Mississippi is at very high
stage and sweeping all before it. The
levee twelve miles below Memphis gave
way last Thursday, flooding several plan
tations. Cattle are being drowned in every
direction, and houses and warehouses are
submerged. The Mississippi and st. Fran
els rivers extend over the low lands from
above Helena down to Lake Providence.
The waters are running through the lower
part of Helena with great violence, and the
citizens of that place were forced to seek
safety on the wharf boats, tlat boats and
crafts of every description. 1t is painful
TO witness the destruction caused by the
great overflow. From Columbus down to
the Balize, the wild waste of waters have
no visible boundaries.

COLUMBUS, March 14-A severe epidemic
broke out yesterday afternoon I'm the Deaf
and Dumb Asylum, in this city. Over
thirty pupils were taken suddenly i'll with
a disease resembling typhoid fever and
diptheria. Several patients are not ex-
pected to survive to-day.
The bill of the House, to authorize the
Miamisburg and Carrolton Hydraulic
Company to flow water from the Miami
river into the Miami Canal. was passed
Resolutions passed both Houses appoint
ing commissioners to visit the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum, and report on the epidemic
raging there.
In the Senate, the negro suffrage reso-
luton was taken up, discussed and post
poned until Wednesday next.
The bill exempting from taxation or ex-
ecution, asewing machine for each family
was passed, and Is now law.
The greater part of the afternoon
session was occupied with the Senate bill
to reorganize the penitentiary. 1t was
amended so as to fix the minimum price of
letting convict labor at seventy-fvc cents
inmates Of one year; one dollar for inmates
of two years. aud one dollar and twenty
five cents for inmates of three wears and
upward; and passed.

ResOiged, That the several states composing the
United states, are not united on the principle Of
unlimited submission 10 their General Govern
ment but that by compact under the style and
title Of Constitution Of the United states, and Of
amendments thereto, they constituted General
Government, for special purpOses-delegated to
that Government certain definite powers, reserv-
ing. each State 60 itself, the residuary mass Of
right to their self-government; and that when
ever the General Government assumes undelega-
ted power. its acts are unauthOritative void, and
Of 40 force; That TO this compact each Slate aC-
ceded as a state and is integral party, its CO.
states forming. to itself, the other party that
the Government created by this compact was not

have made ITS discretion and not the Constitution,

of Brownsville, says that on the 25th ult.,
Macmillan marched to meet EscobedO and
give him battle. MaNimilian's forces are
estimated at l4,700, and the Liberals at 32,-

10000 and the Imperialists have $4,000. A
decisive battle would probably be fought
about the 29th.

AMERICAN
WALTHAM WATCHES.

We claim and are prepared to prove that the
American Watches manufactured at walthsm
Massachusetts, are not only equal but far supe.
rior, to the watches of England, Switzerland and
France. We also, claim that they are CHEAPER,
MORE ACCURATE, MORE DURABLE, and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches in the market
Because in each one of the very numerous parts
Of which watch is made up we attain, by me-
chanical power, nearly absolute mathematical pre-
ci'ion and uniformity, making every watch Of any
one style true copy of its model.
This similarity in structure reduces the cost OF
production; It secures uniformity in results; it
perpetuates and iafalli5ly diluses any excellence
that may he once achieved, and makes it easy to
repair any injury sustained, or replace any part
that may be lost or destroyed
In addition to these mechanical advantages, our
Watches are simpler in structure. and therefore
stronger and less likely to be injured than foreign
watches.
How they run under the hardest trial watches
can have, is shown by the following letters:
PENNSfLN ANlA RAILROAD COMPANY.
OFFICE or THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
ALTOONA, PA, 10Th December, 1866.
Gentlemen: The watches manu- actured by you
have been in use ON this railroad for several years
by our engineinen. 20 whom we furnish watches
as part of our equipment. There are now some
three hundred of them carried on our line, and
we consider them good and reliable time keepers.
Indeed ! have great satisfaction in saying your
Watches give us less trouble and have worn and
do wear much longer without repairs than any
watches We have ever had in use ON this road. As
Ia nf
English manufacture, OF acknowledged good rep
utatiOn, but class they never kept time as cor
rcctly, nor have they done good service, rs
yours.
In these statements am sustained by my pres
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended

IFrom the Charlottesville lVa.s Chronicle. July 81
.!9gWe hear that there was a political meet
ing of the eoioredi people at MudWall, on
Tuesday evening" which was addressed by
Rev. Lewis Lindsay, colored, of Richmond.
Lewis Lindsay made a most violent and
Iipcendiary speech, demanding a fair diyis-
ion ofsall offices, and social equality. He
spoke. of the whites with bitterness, and
told the audience of the large majority
which the registration gave the colored
people in Richmol d.. He said they meant
to elect the Governor and the members of
Congress, and portion of the Legislature.
Wherever there were twelve men appoint
ed to do any business he said six of them
must be black. p He claimed that he should
be asked into white gentleman's parlor,
and addressed as ''Mr. Lindsay," when he
called at his house. He alluded to the
meeting held here on court day, and said
that II the white people were "indepefid-
ent' he did not see what they, wanted with
the help of the 'niggers.o That the color
ed people were going their own way, and
If the white people wanted their assistance
they would have to come to them. He
gave theatrical account of an in
terview he had with Mr.. Bolts, whom he
denounced. Hunnicutt, he said, was ''their
man." He stated that he had been sent Il D
here from Richmond to "organize'' the
colored people, and called on them to see
toi that they registered. Lindsay told the
colored people if the white people sent fiffy
delegates to the Richmond Convention,
they must send seventy. He said he had
heard about war OF races, but he would
like to know when four millions of people
with arms in their hands had ever been ex-
Misunderstanding two could play at that
game.

Dissolvingithe Republic.


The Ndtiondl Intelltgencer, in discussing
the bill introduced into Congress constru-
ing the reconstruction act, remarks:
In bill to exonerate Generals from obe-
dience to the COMMANDMENT Chief, to erect
public agents, and charge them in so man y
words with the execution of an act" or
acts of the Congress of the United States,
and to declare in positive terms that no
State whatever shall exist, except during
his pleasure. in his district is, to our mind,
a bill dissotUipg the Republic; eXonerating all
who choose to accept it as common law
from all obedience to the Constitution and
laws of the United States, removing the
President from office, and substituting
the principal military officer at the
seat of Government, and sundry subordi-
mates at other points. Such is a bill of the
kind reported yesterday, if it be taken at
its full import. Those who, as we DO, re-
garded it as no more capable of becoming
a statute of the United States than reso-
luton disselving the marriage relation in
all the United States, will sustain the Con-
stitution, but how long this revolution can
be stayed by mere argument, confiding,
but law loving peoples early answer must
tell. 6 ,er ttUl q e-5.fry II.
If liberty is to be preserved here, some
thing must be done to show that such is
the public DESIRE Notwithstanding the COM
parative popularity of the workers of these
montrous engines of subversion. Let the
people speak out. The old or the new Gov
ernment?
