- The river at this point has
risen some five inches since Satur-
day morning last, but yesterday
evening was about on a stand.
The lakes and the bayou at
Jefferson at last accounts were
falling, with only some three feet
of water at Potato Bend.
The river at Carolina Bluffs
was falling at latest dates. Be.
low here the river has been fall
ing since our last weekly report,
with some seven feet on the worst
bars. The large clsss boats can
yet reach here without difficulty.
The heavy rains reported by
telegraph to have fallen were ex.
pected to raise the Western rivers.
The Ouachita, White and Ar
kansas rivers were falling at last
accounts South Western.

The picturesque hills, of tower

the fertile valleys of shady
woods and glens, with streams
of pure mountain water gush-

is but a rough description, or at

almost undesirable and truly

s"The Imperialist" fires the
annexed truthful shot at "the
political situation )"
North and South, all over the
land, there are now living, in
hopeless obscurity, numbers of
men of excellent ability, whose
personal pride of character or
want of demagogue adroitness,
has prevented them from OBJ
tanning the support of the eau
clses, and who have looked on,
in'bitterness of soul, while the
shallow, the venal, and the vio-
lent, have climbed the greasy
ladder of political preferment
before them.

AUsTRALIA.-A terrible drouth
it is reported, prevails in the
central portion of Australia.
The road from Wagga-Wagga
to Hay is streWed with the
skeletons or the decaying car
cases of wretched animals that
have persisted from starvation
or thirst. Horses, cattle and
sheep and even the wild ami
mails of the plains-kangaroos,
emus and turkeys-are lying
dead in all directions, tainting
the atmosphere and giving
abundant occupation to the
crows. A traveller along this
route says that the country can
only be described as the "Val-
ley of the Shadow of Death"

70 A heifer will make beef
earlier than a steer. An old COW,
or an old sheep, will not fatten
nearly as we'll with hay as with
grass. The longer the straw OF
any kind, the worse as fodder
short straw is said to be, invaria
bly,, the most nutritious. Cattle
always prefer that which is fresh
threshed, a day even making g
difference.

eve must enduce immigra-
tion,. but to do this we must
present inducements in the way
of private and public enterprise
that will bring into requisition
every branch of mechanism and
industry. What have we in
Memphis to induce immigra-
ton z Nothing. We must es-
tablish foundries, dock-yardS,
tanneries, cotton-mills, furni-
ture factories, eooperages, ETC.,
for which we have every advan-
tage. Manufactures will lead
directly to a large increase of
population, and this to wealth
and greatness. Real estate will
come into demand and increase
in value, and every branch of
business will be infused with
greater vitality. It is vain to
hope that Memphis will pros
per and enlarge on the hand
ling of 100000 bales of cotton,
and the profits ON correspond

num-"
A volume of argument may
be found in the following edi-
torial taken from the Mobile
Nationalist
"Why is the State SO poor ?
Because, year after year, we
send abroad every dollar we
can get to buy something, and
allow half Of our people to live
in idleness and poverty in
stead of setting them to work
to make the things we need. Ii
q factory makes 500, 900 worth
of goods it saves just that
amount to the State, minus
the value of the raw cotton, or,
say $4,000 or $80,000) and it
does this each succeeding year.
sit is only by discouraging
importations that we can accu-
mulate capital. The Chicka-
sabogue Paper Company, es-
tablished last year, is doing
something more than making a
fortune for its owners-it gives
an honest living to a consider
able number of people, and
keeps in the country money
which was formerly sent North
to buy paper. A cotton factory
would have the same effect.
every Southern factory OF
which we know anything has
made from 20 to IS per cent
profits per annum since the
close of the war, and they can.
not help continuing to be pro-
fitable."
The Talladega (Ala.) Repor.
ter says:
"The wealthy men of Penn

of Shelby, Blob and Talladega
richer ores and finer metals
than old Lehigh county itself
possesses. Who would have

MEN WITHOUT HEARTS,
We sometimes meet with men
who seem to think that any in
diligence in an affectionate
feelingis weakness. They will
return from a journey, and
greet their families with a dis
tant dignity, and move among
their children with the cold and
lofty splendor of an iceberg
surrounded by its broken frag-
ments. There is hardly a more
unnatural sight on earth than
one of families without a heart.
A father had better extinguish
a boys eyes than his heart.
Who that has experienced the
joys of friendship, and values
sympathy and affection, would
not rather lose all that is beau
tiful in natures scenery than
be robbed of the hidden treas
ures of his hearth Cherish.
then, your hearts best affec-
tons. Indulge in the warm
and gushing emotions of filial,
paternal, and fraternal love-
