The river commenced falling again yes
terday, with seventeen feet on Harpeth

The Armada and Talisman arrived and
departed on time.
The following paragraphs are from the
Memphis Aed5Gncbe of Thursday;
The weather continues inclement with
slight drizzling rain. The river here COM
menced rising last evening. Below high
water mark, thirteen feet three and half
inches. At Cairo and ST. Louis the river is
rising rapidly. The upper streams are
swelling rapidly. The Illinois is out OF its
banks. The Missouri and tributaries are
near bank full, and swelling steadily. The
| Ohio is rising from Pittsburg to Cairo, with
| fifteen feet in the channel Fears are ap
| pretended of an overflow if there shonld be
| a sudden thaw. The Arkansas continues
| falling with three feet in the channel from
| Little Rock out and fifteen inches above
| there. White river remains at fair stage.
From all we can gather concerning the
| fall of snow where the Arkansas and hel
| tributaries head, we are of the opinion thai
we shall experience one Of, if not the great
est freshet ever known to this portion o
the country when the ''thaw" commences.

Observation-Disclosures Counterfeit.

Gauti0n.-AuQdcl0uS counterfeit.
Ia reputation which, for many years, has at
tached to "Hostetter's Stomach Bitters," as the
STANDARD TOXIC OF THE AGE, and the large de-
mand for the article, not only in the United States,
but elsewhere, have provoked the cupidity of the
CONTRIBUTING tribe, and it has been extern
sively simulated and initiated by INSCRIPTIONS
sharpers.
The most daring counterfeit Of said article,
which has been attempted has recently come to
our knowledge. The engraved steel lsbel on bot
ties containing the genuine bitters, with its beau
tiful vignette of St. George and the dragon, its
shield containing a warning against counter
feiters and its note of hand for zone cent" at the
foot, signed with our firm name, has been copied
30 closely, that the fraud can only be detected on
a minute inspection. The dark label is also well
counterfeited and the wording on both the imita-
ton and genuine are precisely the same, the diff
ference being simply in the execution of the work;
that of the imitation being somewhat cOdTser than
the genuine. Other counterfeits are on the mar
ket, which are in all particulars the same as de-
scr1bed above, with the exception of slight diff
ference in the spelling of our name.
In addition to the above, these counterfeiters
have gone so far in some instances as 10 place

Of the bottle. on which is a vgnette and otherwise
proprietary U. S. Revenue stamp, but upon in,
spection will disclose the absence of the figure ~
and the words "four cents also Omitted States In
ternal Revenue, all Of which, together with addi-
tional wording, appear on our genuine stamp. The
public are, therefore, especially warned against
these new coUNrERFRTTs, and are advised 70 pur-

Mr. Robert A. Chadwell, the successful
candidate for the Office of Revenue Collec-
tor, has received the following note from
one of the defeated aspirants who consoles
himself in his disappointment by the per-
petration of joke:
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March so, 1870.-Mr.
Robert Chadwell-Dear Sir: 1 see in too
days paper that you are the successful can
didate for Revenue Collector of this county,
and while congratulating you upon your
good fortune, l feel assured of your SYM
pathies for the fallen.
Now, would suggest for your consider
alton the justice of the successful candi-
dates footing the expense bills of those
who were defeated; and should ye@ be of
my way of thinking, just send me down a
check for the amount am out (say seventy
five dollars, and obhge.
We have not seen Mr.. Chadwells re-
Spouse to the above, but presume that he
''planked down" the expense gill of seventy
FIVE dollars, unhesitatingly, and that he
was glad Of the opportunity of doing so.

The Rice CroD.

The Savannah NeDs, of Monday gives us
dlscouraging intelligence as to the prospects
of the rice crop:
The freshet which prevailed for some
time past on the Savannah, Altamaha and
Ogeechee rivers, has seriously interfered
with planting operations, and in many cas-
es interfered materially with the rice pros
poets for the coming year. Coming just at
a time when all the preparations had been
made for planting, and in the majority of
cases the seed already sown, it has put
back operations at least three weeks. In
all the plantations the fields have been and
are still under water, and if the rivers do
not fall this week, the damage TO the pre-
sent rice crop will be incalculable.

Outrnreous SteaIInp.

We have heard of number of com,
plants recently of a new species of steal
ing. 1t appears that parties unknown have
been in the habit of entering the yards and
city, in the night time, and pulling up the
shrubbery and evergreens newly trans
planted for ornamental purposes. This is
the length and breath, the hight and depth
of meanness-the very crest on crest Of
crime. The perpetrators should, if pos,
sible, be fereted out and iagellated with the
bushes they steal till not twig is left.
Such chaps would steal the key-hole Of

together of Nature and of Art, as was af-
forded by the paintings and statuary of

pacious hall was brilliantly illuminated at
night with gorgeous chandeliers, which
threw dazzling light from innumerable gas
jets over all parts of the room, mellowing
the paintings Of the old masters with hues
and tints of vivid naturalness. and
investing the alabaster statuary, fashioned
with all the skill of an Angelo. with the
'smimicry of breathing life The room
was thrOnged during the afternoon and
evening with the fashion and elite of the
city, who seemed to drink in the inspira-
tions Of the surroundings. The sa0Gnt, the
merchant, the banker, and the man of letters
were there. Though we cannot enumerate

tations embraced in the catalogue, we can
not refrain from alludjng to few Of them.

But the average weekly consumption on

sumption. 1t is estimated at only 16. OOo
bales per week, against more than II. 600

But Little Talk of Reconstruction

A well informed citizen of Nashville, who
yesterday returned from Washington, after
a business stay of some two or three weeks
in that city, says that the talk there of
Tennessee reconstruction is gradually dying
out He says that the Tennessee members
of Congress who have been laboring il be
half of reconstruction seem now hopeless
and dispirited, and have very little to say
on the subject 1t is hoped they may
speedily find some way of doing the State
better service.

slight the reconstruction subject 1t may
also be rightly guessed that in the same

fact, and figures touching charges against
him of official misconduct. His friends
claim that he is prepared to establish the
fact that he has done nothing wrong, and
has in all respects acted for the best inter
