o'clock. From that hour to dark
last evening it had not risen at all,
and the hope is entertained that it
will be falling this morning. During
the twelve hours ending with 6 o'clock
yesterday morning, it had risen four
inches, the tide being ten inches be-
low the high water mark of 1865, and
nearly two feet below the high water
mark of 1923. In connection with
the great floods of 1847 and 1882 it
bears no comparison, being about nine
feet below the mark of the former,
and ten feet less than the latter. In
the channel at the foot of the falls
there are about SO feet water.
The Cincinnati Commercial of Sat-
urday says:
The weather was cold and cloudy
yesterday, with the wind from the
Northwest, and the mercury ranging
at 340 at noon. At Pittsburg the riv-
er was falling last night, with fifteen
feet in the channel. Here, it has re-
coded three or four inches during the
"a hours ending last night, with fifty
five feet In the channel. !. To-day there
will be only forty-eight feet under the
bridge for passing steamers.

We do not now recall a single really bad thing of

It's snabby penuriousness on salaries. There have
been sins of omission there are measures of great
Importance to the people which were smothered or
killed or crowded out of existence But of msdeeds
actually committed the record is very free.
The Missouri Legislature has done well, having
initiated as best it could the ineomparaby glorious

NEBRASKA CITY, March 9th 1861
Editors Of K,sorriEle Whig:
1 wish to say to you that your paper is glorious
treat serving me in the remenisence of the past
when no other paper in all Tennessee spoke so bold
and earlessy for the nterestof loyalty to our gen.
eral government, and more particularly its vindi-
cation Of the prosecuted loyalists of East Tennes
see in its words of warning and cheer to their dis
tracted hearts. am not presumptous when 1 say
your paper was beacon light to the many East
Tennessee loyalists, when to save life they we're
forced to fee by hight from the all on earth they
held dear, leaving their poor distracted wives and
little prattling nnocents, victims to an ant-human
cruelty, practised only by wicked man, aware Of
his free agency to mock the mercy of God Dirine.
OF trio of youths just budding into manhood,
who, in 1861, sought the Federal army, much gui-
ded by your warning, 1 am to-day, the only living
member, and as such in the lone, ] bear the men,
ory of my comrades whose.lamp of life went out in
rebel prisons, do wish you success in the future
in the vindication of Radical truth, justice and
liberty.
'Tis needless to say that / peruse with anxiety
anything relative to Blount county, as am aware
of the existence of an element there minute part
of which served in the Federal army, either as
" Recruiting Officers" or John Gilpen-like on the
"Murfreesboro' Pike" and the larger part served
in the traitor army or sympathized with the same,
who will do their utmost TO foil the consummation of
all our hopes in the coming August election. 1
hope and pray the Union soldiery of that county
will move in solid pbalsnx to ballot support TO the
principles for which they fought bravely, and for
which many Of their comrades lost their lives on the
field of battle.
l feel that if they knew how an1iously their
brother soldiers of the North ar waiting to know
the fate ofTennessee and their action in the premi
a huzza support for Gov Brownlow and the Ten
nessee Legislature. Then would ali the world say
what a glorious people those East Tennesseean's
are What an unparalleled record they have made
during FIVE years of war and two Of peace. With
hearts deep and true in their the valies
in which they live and 8 magnanimity as proud
and high as their mountains They have thrown
down the precipice of time all prejudices Of the
dark ages of slavery and vice, invoking the God
dess Of Liberty, whose homo is among their noun
tains never to leave them But when they have
gone down TO the grave, watch over and protect
their children forever.
The aposiate President has lived to know that

are feeling sick under the facts
