From an early hour yesterday morning a large

up the vestibue and ofces OF tue Erie Railroad for
the reception OF the body. Up to eleven O'Clock,

The GRAND CENTRAL HOTEL.

An acknowledgment of the Indebtedness Of the
press to the proprietor and employees of the Grand
Central Hotel due for the faculties they afforded
all who detailed to write up the incidents con-
neced with Colonel F1sk's death. From Few
minutes after the shooting took place until the 70
moval OF the remains from the building Mr.. Powers
and his assistants were constantly besieged with Q
crowd OF news gatherer5, but no one was denied
every facility for obtaining satisfactory result OF
his errand. The example OF p0liteness set BY Mr..
Powers toward the members OF the press was iml.
tatod by his employees, and greatly assisted the 70
pOrters In the faithful discharge OF their duties.

will occupy a prominent place in
the annals Of Alabama, for the great
overflow of 1872 has been the great
est midsummer overflow ever before
known in the Alabama valley.
Persons who have not visited the
scene can form no idea of it approx
mating to correctness, for there is
nothing to which it can be com
pared for the purpose of conveying
it to the mind. The waters are now
falling the full length of the rivers,
and a member of The Register fami-
", who has just returned from
trip up and down the Lower Tom
bigbee, brings the following most
distressing report: All the low-land
crops, land they make up the bulk
Of the crops along the river), are a
total ruin from jackson down.
Corn and cotton, which a short time
ago presented as fine q prospect as
could possibly have been asked,
now stretched out at every hand, as
far as the eye could see, a scared
and blackeHed mass, looking, for all
the world, as if a fire had passed
over the plantations, burning the
crops to cinder, and allowing the
leaves to still hang upon the stalks.
On the Alabama and other rivers of
the valley precisely the same condi-
tiOn Of affairs exists. He estimates
that in cotton alone the loss 20 No
bile will be almost incalculable-
not less than 100000!
May planters who considered
themselves in the best of circum-
stances two weeks ago, are now in
actual want; and worse still, are
deeply in debt, having been stimu-
lated to go in more deeply than usu-
al by their superior crop prospects.
What is to become of them one can
hardly tell It is suggested that
some steps ought TO be taken with
a view to their relief, for not a few
are already suffering for the neces-
saries Of life.-lEoJiIs Register.
