Died on the Wnv

On yesterday mornings train from the
South, gentleman in very bad health, &C
companied by his wife, arrived in this city
on their way to their home in Louisville.
His name was 81. Stearns-a leather mer-
chant of Louisville-Rnd he had gone a
few months ago to. Jacksonville, Florida,
hoping to improve his health. The hope
was vain one, however, and he continued
to grow worse. His wife, therefore, went
to Florida to accompany him home again,
and he succeeded in holding out until
reaching here, when it was found he was
actually in dying condition, and he ex-
pired at the Chattanooga depot at o'clock
yesterday morning The faithful and sor-
row-stricken wife had the remains of her
beloved and departed husband placed in
metallic case, and sadly proceeded on her
way homo, bereft, under these sad circum-
stances, of her dearest earthly treasure.

The Annual Reduction,

Il is customary with the railroads, or
railroad employers to cut down, each year,
both the number of their employees and
the wages of those retained, at the COM
mencement of what they term the ''dull
season." The ''dullness" in railroad bust
ness, hereabouts, was supposed to have
commenced yesterday -Mondsy-Msy day
the first day of May-in consequence of
the VIII ch, the Superintendents of at least
some of the roads, were busily engaged in
pruning their force uf all superhuous
hands, and reducing the pay of those re-
tanned to figure in keeping with the gov
erniDg circumstances. All suffer proper
tionately in this respect, from the Presi-
dent down to the man who manipulates
the crow bar and spade, 80 that mutual"
is the principle, and no hardships are en-

NKw ORLEANS, April 29.-Chief State
Engineer Thompson reports as follows re-
garding the crevasse: 81 have learned
this day by telegram from Vicksbnrg
that the liver is eight feet eight inches
below hIgh-water mark of 1867. There
was heavy rain all yesterday from Ba-
ton Rouge. The river rose six inches
since yesterday. Poverty Point crevasse
is closed, and the tugbost Vulcan has re-
turned and has been dispatched to Bon
net Care. The MaresO CTVvssse is closed,
and the siernwheeleT, J. +. Frazier, has
returned and has alec been dispatched to
Bonnet Care crevasse. No futile at
tcmpts have been made to clear away the
the crevasse, but each attempt to close
one has been successful, and those evi
IDENTIFY beyond our power to close have
been restricted 10 prescribed limits except
the Bonnet Care Crevssse, Ongwhich we
will now concentrate all our powers to
check its increase. Excepqto the Jack,
son railroad, the injury has been truly To-
.cal, for the river is so near the lake 81
bsl point that the water soon nnds Inc
level of the ocean.
NEW ORLEANS, April 30.-The situa'
tiou at Bonnet Care crevasse remains
unchanged. The width of the crevssse
sis yariOusly estimated at from ], 200 to
l.5OO feet, through which the water il
passing in angry torrents, covering some
of the most valuable sugar plantations tC
q depth OF ten or twelve feet. In some
cases il reaches to the second stories OF
houses, and completely submerges the
cabins. The roar Of the water as il
lashes against the trees can be heard for
miles. All hopes of closing this
vast break have for the present been
abandoned, and the object now is to pre-
vent further destruction of property, and
confine the waters to their present limits.
Houses have been deserted, plantations
abandon, d, and, in one iDstsnce, an en-
tire village has been desolsted by the rapid
f9read OF water, which extends hack into

NASHVILLE AND DECATUR RAIL
ROAD LEASE

We are informed that the Nashville
and Chattanooga Railroad Company car
~ freight from Charleston to Louisville
for IS cents per hundred, and yet charge
Nashville 70 cents, though the Louisville
freight has TO pass by Nashville. 1t
therefore comes with bad grace from that
company TO be trying to prejudice the
people of Nashville against the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad Company when
they themselves charge Louisville less
freights than Nashville.
But the real reason is that there are
two competing routes from Charleston to
Louisville-one by Nashville and the 9TH
tr by Baltimore-whereast there is but one
route from Charleston to Nashville.
This shows the immense advantage TO
Nashville of having the North and South
Road built to Pensacola, as the following
