Chattanooga, great deal of feeling exists at
the conduct of the legislature upon the Cincin-
natl and Southern Air Line railroad project
The republicans favor this enterprise.
In Iowa we shall obtain the usual majority.
The contest there is over the seat of Mr.. Harlan.
On California affairs, we do not yet speak adj
visedly. The republicans expect, they say,
to elect two congressman, the governor and
legislative majority. This / doubt however
OF Illinois there is no doubt. Shelby NJ. Cullom
will, it is expected, be the nominee to the seat
vacated by Logan's promotion. The majority
will probably be 10000. Texas is improving
We shall elect two congressman there.
SENATORIAL PROBABILITIES.
Cameron is a candidate for reelection in
Pennsylvania Gov. Geary wants his seat.
am not aware that "Tom Scott" or
his great corporation is at this time
opposed to Cameron, while l suppose all
the railroads are Geary'S foes, not, probably,
because he has done them much damage, but
because he has committed himself against them.
Geary has no chance, unless the miners and
other similar classes Of voters elect persons to
vote for him. 1t looks as if Cameron would
succeed himself, unless through division the
democrats carry the legislature. Fortunately
the democracy had Que house-the senate-at
Harrisburg, and its majority was more than
subseryient to the corporations.
In Ohio, do not believe John Sherman can
be defeated San Domingo hurts any prospects
Mr. Wade's friends might believe him TO have.
Garfield is spoken of. He is growing into Sher-
mans most formidable opponent. But "Long
John" is bound to win. The "New Departure"
has not benefited the democracy, and
by Mr.. Vallandigham's untimely departure
that party loses one of its ablest, if not its best
leaders. In Kentucky McCreery, Lewis and
Beck are the principal senatorial candidates.
The first and last are most prominent, and it is
believed that Beck will be successful. He is
able, and the fairest southern democrat now in
congress.
In Iowa, Harlan's chief opponents are eX-Rep-
resentatives Allison and Dodge. The former
has the most strength, but it is not probable
that either can defeat the incumbent.
In California there seems little probability of
Mr.. Coles reelection. On the whole the pros
poets look better, except at the SOUTH
OBSERVER.

1t was now midnight. Long since the camp,
with all its appurtenances, had disappeared,
and deathly gloom settled over the spot where
it once had afforded shelter. Up, up, gradually
stealing up, came the water, which, should
it continue its ascent much longer, must
soon separate all hands, perhaps never
TO meet again. In their hurry to climb
the trees some of the men, terrified at the pros
pect, had come in contact with nests of hornets,
which, being suddenly aroused, commenced
siege. 1t was now impossible to escape, and
some poor fellows thus chained to q woeful
fate, endured the most indescribable torture.
Still the water rose, and the hopes of many,
drenched and soaking with the rain, began to
fade. But few words were spoken, for all
awaited the issue of events with breathless
anxiety. An hour after midnight the rain
ceased, Three hours later the water began to
fall and rush in streams toward the river. A
feeling of JOY and thanllfulness prevailed.
There was on hand but one days rations, now
rendered almost unfit for use. A night of terri
bic suspense was drawing to q close, and as the
long wished for daylight dawned hope cheered
all hands to action. 1t was found after sound
ing that there were seven feet of water beneath,
and that it was yet impossible to descend. After
some conversation it was determined that the
best, and in fact the only thing to be done was
to construct RATS and proceed to Pnogana, all
ideas of continuing the line to that settlement
being temporarily abandoned. At seven o'clock
all hands descended, and found themselves
waist deep in water, Without much ado the
RATS were hastily constructed, and toward ten
O'Clock the entire party went sweeping down
the river to Pinogana, where they encamped on
the common.
Undaunted by previous disasters, the explorers
commenced to draw the line to the bench mark
from which they had been driven by the flood,
the distance being about eight miles. On
Tuesday last Commander Selfridge left the
Resaca and proceeded to Pinogana in the steam
launch in order to expedite the operations.
He has not since returned, but is hourly eX-
pected. The steam launch came back on Thurs
day last, having on board Ensign Wiley and
some of the sailors They had been over nine
ty days in the woods, and were heartily well
coined on board. Mr.. Wiley reported that
there remained only three miles of the line to
complete the survey. 1t should have been fin
ished before this, but the work has been UNI
doubtedy retarded by the recent floods. Com
mander Seltridge may arrive tomorrow with
the remainder of the party, in which case the
Resaca will start Immediately for Panama.
There being doubt about it, however, | avail
myself of the opportunity of sending my dis
patch with the ships mail, by little schooner
which leaves here in half an hour. The store
ship Guard, now lying at Aspinwall, will not
leave for New York so early in the ensuing
month as was generally anticipated. Although
fever has prevailed to some extent among those
taking part in the expedition no fatal cases
have yet occurred.

HeIigOIamd.


A correspondent of the Pail Mall Gazette
gives the following lively description of the
strange little island in the North sea, which
England owns and Germany wants:
81 see the Heligoland question has turned up
again, and a few words of description may not
be without interest TO your readers, for there is
no place like it on the face of the earth. 1t is
tall red hill, rising straight out of the waters,
with sand bank on,one side. On the sand, and
part of the way up the hill, is the town, or rather
village. 1t was inhabited in former times by
pilots and wreckerS, but they have degenerated
into lOdging-house keepers Heligoland is the
Margate of Hamburg. Thither stream the citi
zenS OF that rich city to gamble at rOUge-et-1Oir
(at least they did when | was there) and to en-
joy sea bathing.
There is a regular season in the summer
months, and sometimes many passengers that
are brought in the steamer are Obliged to sleep
on board, and to 60 back again-the island
being full. Every house probably takes in lodg-
ers; but then there are not very many houses.
The bathers resort TO neighbOring sand-bank,
sister island, which the governor, it will be re-
membered, some time ago stocked with rabbits,
which began eating up the grass that held the
sand-bank together, so that the Heligolanders
became furious, and talked of shaking off the
English yoke. However, the rabbits were all
shot, and the islanders were pacified, and no.
thing more was said about their old Tristan con-
stitution.
''Their language is German, but they detest
that nation more even than they do ourselves
They are not English, though they are English
subjects; they are not German, though they
speak German. They are HeligolanderS, the
noblest of created beings; all foreigners are
Skit, which, in their hOmely dialect, means
dirt. The top of the island hill is fiat, and, as
well as can remember, about the size of the
green park. There is well-known story of a
man from the far west-and therefore accustom-
ed to see land only on a large scale-who paid
visit to England. When asked how he enjoy
ed himself, he replied very much, only he never
went out at night for fear of falling off. In
Heligoland there is really danger of such an
accident happening to any one who from force
of habit should continue to walk too long in any
one direction"

An inquisitive gentleman in London, seeing a
bill in parlor window, inscribed with the offer
to teach Hebrew at remarkably low price,
stepped in 10 see the teacher, who on being
closely questioned, admitted that his knowledge
of that language was small. But he commended
that his was an honest way of getting living.
He was taking lessons himself on Mondays
and Wednesdays, and giving instructions on
Tuesdays and Fridays; he was learning some
thing himself and making a living besides.
When it was suggested that some modern Ian
guage would attract more pupils, the Hebrew
scholar replied:
cob, no! Hebrew is the dodge! Everybody
can teach French and German, but there's only
a few as can teach Hebrew. You see, young
chaps, nowadays, pretend 10 be learned; and,
when they are contending against one another
in mechanics institutions, and such places, the
one as knows how to read Hebrew just puts
book into the others hands, and says, Read
that for meP It's a Ticker at once. All the
clever ones want to know is the alphabet, and
then they can CANNON Others that they are He

FUNERAL OF MIR. vALLAND1GHAM.

FUNERAL OF MIR. VALLANDIGHAM.
DAYTON, o., June q The late residence of
Vallandigham was thrown open to the public
from 8 A. M, until PM, yesterday, and thou
sands took their final view of the late states
man. for Vallandigham was the idol here, even
while earnestly opposing the war, and his "new
departure" movement won for him many new
friends. The coffin rested on catafalque COW
cred with black velvet. 1t was of rosewood,
deliberately finished On the lid was heavy
silver plate, bearing the following inscription /:
&c. l.. Vallandigham, born July 20, 1920, died
June II, 1871" 1t was covered with wreaths of
English ivy, elder blossoms and lilies. 1t had
eight silver handles with tassels attached, and
was Ornamented with Masonic emblems.
Mrs. Vallandigham was not able to leave her
room. She was brought down to see the corpse
for the last time at nine O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. As she approached the coffin she gave a
loud shrek, and was Immediately carried to her
room. Last evening she was still very weak,
and fears are entertained that she will lose her
reason. The members of the bar in this city,
together with many distinguished gentlemen of
the legal profession from other parts of this
state and country, including Senator Thurman,
ex-senator George E. Pugh, S. S. Cox, of New
York, Lewis D. Campbell, and Gen. George
McCook, met yesterday and adopted resolutions
of respect to the memory of Mr.. Vallandigham.
Speeches were made by Senator Thurman, Gen.
McCook, S. S. Cox, L. D. Campbell and others,
after which the members of the bar formed in
procession and proceeded to the residence of
Valladigham for the purpose of attending his
funeral.

Careful investigation shows that from one
half to one-thiTd of the coal is left in the mines
as waste, and that from twenty-five to forty per
cent of that which reaches the surface is lost in
breaking, screening and handling. These losses
are attributed to the crushing effects of powder.
Mr.. r. II. Walton, of Norfolk, Va, has dis

facial features clearly developed.
The mails are the medium for the transporta
ton of a great many curious packages. There
was received at the postoffice in Reading, Penn,
last week consignment of Italian bees which
were being forwarded to person on the Read

placed over each aperture constituted the win

About three thousand public schools have

were to secure treaty for the protection of peO-
pie who might suffer shipwreck on the Korean
coast; to inquire into, and if the facts warrant
ed, demand indemnification and apology for the
massacre OF the crew of the General Sherman,
and then to procure, if possible, a general COM

learn by marginal note supplied by an atten-

fleet left Nagasaki for Korea on Tuesday, May
16. 1t was expected the American consul gen
eral at Shanghai, who is represented as the real
father of the movement, would accompany the
expedition, but official business prevented.
Much interest was felt in the expedition by all
classes of foreigners at Shanghai, but its success
was quite generally subject of doubt. 1t was
felt also that failure would embolden the anti
foreign party in China, and therefore increase
the difficulties of the situation. Our next news
from the expedition will doubtless be of stir

ins With them in artificial conditions. 1t was
fortunate for the success of our fish COM
missioners that they availed themselves Of
his experience and skill. An interesting ex-
pertinent has been tried by him this
season. He has put fifteen thousand
young shad in the Genessee river
below the lower falls, near Rochester, New
York, in order to determine whether it is nee
essary for this fish to visit the salt water Ifthree
years hence shad are caught in the river or near
its mouth, it will be good evidence that Lake
Ontario supplies all that is necessary for their
well-being. If not, it must be concluded that
they have persisted, or have sought the sea by
way of the ST. Lawrence, and have failed to find
their way back by a route so long and difhcult'
New Orleans is now relieved of the inunda-
ton which has caused so much suffering and
damage there. The people are beginning to
realize that the levee system is mistake, both
costly and inefficient. The effect of the levees
is to make more and stronger and higher levees
necessary, and no limit can be assigned to the
growing requirements of this system, until by
shutting off its waters from their natural chan
mel and gradually raising its bed, the river be-
comes wholly unmanageable, and makes new
outlets for itself at the cost of immense
destruction of life and property. The plan
now suggested to prevent disastrous floods
and make levees unnecessary is, instead
of fighting against natural laws, to work
with them and help the river to do harmlessly

that is, to cut new channels that would give
freer discharge and more rapid flow. A short
channel cut from the Mississippi into Lake Bor-
gao, about ten miles below New Orleans, would,
it is said, bring the river at the city down to tide
level, which is fourteen feet lower than the late
high water at New Orleans. This would not
only save the city, but, by drawing off the water
more rapidly, would lower the river not less
than five feet at Natchez. The Memphis APP
peal, discussing this suggestion, adds:
'"Then, if they would open every and all out
lets by which water could be carried from the
river to the gulf on the east side, as high as
Pass Manchac, and on the west side as high as
the mouth of Red river, this would lower the
water in the river on the lower coast; at the
same time make room and increase the
current to Natchez and Vicksburg, and
at the latter place lessen the volume
of water four or five feet more. Then
it would not be very expensive work to dam
up Red river and turn that stream and all its
tributaries into the gulf through the Atcha-
falaye and Berwick's bay. By keeping this
vast volume of water out of the river, we still
make room and increase the current, and draw
the water off more rapidly from that above, so
that up as high as Greenville the water will not
rise by eight feet as high as it now rises. Thus,
on up, we have prepared the lower section, from
down, for cutoff system, by which
the river can be shortened fully two hundred
miles more, in all three hundred miles to Cairo"
