THE REDEMPTION OF LANDS.

We are receiving many letters in re-
gard to the redemption of lands in St.
Helena Parish sold By the United States
for taxes. 1t would save trouble to all
parties i such inquiries were d: a!c direct
to NJ. C. II. Wright, the L. S. deputy
collector at this place, who is charged
with all business connected with the
United States lands in this parish. We
know thlt he will promptly answer al
proper inquiries. No expense will be in
cured by applying directly to him. The
best way to find out the exact condition
of interests here is to send to Mr.. Wright
a statement detailing the de crip.ion and
boundaries of all property sold. Give all
the details usual in a deed or mortgage.
If possible send plot of the land.
Tou will get back from him at once all
the information it is possible to obtain
aud directions how to proceed further in
the matter.

We have been looking in vain for some
spirited caricatureS from the pencil OF
Thomas Mast apropos ofthe recent Cred
it Mo5i!icr development. The piouS
Harlan, the sanctimonious Pomeroy and
the smiling Co'!ax would be quiet as tell

traduce Greeley during the campaign
with a brutality unexampled, but we pre-
diet that the resent opportunity will pass

Accident to the Bertha.

On Tuesday last, Capt. Trevitt's
schooner was run into by the steamship
Orental in the Savannah river. and had
it not been for the presence ofmind of the
Captain of the latter vessel, must have
sunk her. 1t appears that the steamship
was coming down the river on her way
cut, and running very fast; and the
schooner which had just started from her
wharf was betting down against tide.
The schooner Bertha had just fouled with
the Spanish brig Pricea then Ling in the
stream. and had scarcely got clear and
under headway when the steamer was
seen bearing. down directly upon her.
Captain Trevitt, Of the schooner, imme-
diatsly hailed the steamer, and asked the
Captain to stop his engine, but apparent
", by some oversight, nothing was done,
and it was only by crowding all sail on her
that the Bertha was able to escape with
the loss Of her main boom and davits. AL!
those who witnessed the collision appear
to blame the Captain ofthe steamship for
the accident.

GENERAL GILMORE.

We were pleased recently to meet
General Gilmore in Charleston. lie is
in charge of harhor Improvements on
the coast from Savannah to Charleston,
inclusive of both points. The poor
Charlcstonian, were recently surprised TO
find him at work in their harbor, deepen
ing Beech channel with his dredgcs.
The sleepy reporters of the town never
heard Of him until he commenced work.
lie has removed the obstruction at
Church fats which have heretofore i'm
pedal the navigation Of the inside route
from Charleston to St. Helena. He took
ont FIVE hundred tons OF live oak logs,
and many piles. Any vessel wh;ch can
get through Wapoo can now cone over
Church flats.
We hope to have visit from him be-
fore long. We would like him to eS-
hibit his skill by cutting away the ugly
hump in our channel opposite Water

WASHINGTON TERRITORY.

Indications OF Indian Hostility-Gov-
ernor Ferry Calls for Arms-Acting
Secretary Robeson's Reply.
WASHINGTON, May 8, 1878.
The Secretary OF the Interior yesterday received
the following telegram from Governor Ferry, Of
Washington Territory
There are strong indications OF hostility among
the Indians in this Territory. Emissares from tho
M0docs have probably visited them. The settlers
have called upon me for arms. There are none In
the Territory. await instructions.
This telegram being referred to the War Depart
ment, Acting Secretary Robson to-day informed
the secretary OF the Interior that under the pro-
visions OF the act OF 1868 the Territory OF Washing
ton s entitled to to the value OF $4,000 on ito
quota for the militia, and that the War Departments
is able TO furnish about 500 stand OF arms, with
equipments and ammunition to be charged to the
quota OF the Territory upon the requisiton OF the
Goyernor, either by letter or telegram; but the
Acting secretary desires that the Governor should
distinctly understand that these arms are to be
advanced only on the regular allowance OF the Ter
rttory and that the general government in no way
directs or authorizes any militia operations not in
stituted by Its order and under its direction and
control
graphed by Secretary Delano TO Governor Ferry.

The Heavy Rains and the Rising
Rivers.

Rivers.
The great rain storm which has given such
an ugly aspect to ''sweet May has been an
immensely extended affair, and appears to
verify in part our anticipaticns Of q wet
Spring. The extreme and unusually long
cold of the past Winter has left the Continent
in such frigid state that now the returning
and moist southerly winds of the season are
condensed in floods Of rain. The process Of
rapid and large condensation has exhibited
itself on such a large scale that the Western
rivers-the Ohio, Allegheny, Youghiogheny,
Tennessee and others-yesterday we're re-
ported rising rapidly; and the rain belt
spread its watery folds over the Western
States, the lakes and the entire Atlantic sea-
board. It is known that the rainfall in
the West is generally doubled from March
to April and again doubled from April to
Valley and westward gives an appearance Of
periodicity to the floods of the great rivers.
The rivers tributary to the Father Of Waters
west Of its basin have their regular May
foods, and at the first opening Of Summer
they are visited by deluging thunder showers.
The streams which take their rise on the east
ern slopes of the Rocky Mountains are not in
full food till June. In 1856 the first fifteen
days in that month the Kansas, at Fort Riley,
was tremendously swollen, and Fremont's
party suffered heavily in attempting to cross it.
On the hundred and fourth meridian, and four
thousand feet above the sea, in 1853 Fremont
found the South Platte greatly enlarged by
melting SHOWS Of the mountains as late as
July l.
There must be an unusually immense guam
tity of ice and snow to be dissolved and find
its way to the Mississippi basin within the
next six weeks, and we repeat our former
warning of danger in the Mississippi Valley.
Should this be unhappily realized it may cost
the country millions of dollars from the loss
Of cotton and other crops, to say nothing of
other losses TO individuals. It is estimated
that over thirty millions Of acres Of prolific
soil in the Mississippi basin are, on an annual
average, the prey of foundations, which, rush.
ing through the crevasses, drown the sur
rounding country. The inhabitants through
this section cannot be too wide awake or too
busy in preparing to avert such calamity.
After to-day we may hope for an interval of
finer weather and some of Mays radiant
charms.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1873-05-04

SO far the month dear to the poets mind
has shown very little of the merrimens and
brightness associated with it. and no oppor-
tunity has been afforded for display OF those
bewildering toilets that should bloom about
this time But rain or shine, no daughter OF
Eve can be seen in her pew at church to-day
with any relics of the Winter styles about her.
Woe betide the wearer Of New Years bon
net should she parade its faded glories along
the aisle of fashionable church, fanked on
either side by supercilious high crowns,
iooped up with clasp and feather, and low
soft crowns, almost hidden in floral drapery.
Even the dust gray wells of her Spring sisters
would blush at such audacity. No lady can
complain OF want of variety in head gear.
and novelties are more numerous than in past
years. The favorites Of bygone generations,
which look down upon us occasionally from
mouldy canvas, find themselves suddenly
revived for this season only, and Haunted over
May suits as novelties Should the May belle
fancy conservatory of flowers she may carry
one on her head and be entirely in fashion.
Taste and inclination have as wide field for
selection in the line of dress materials and
styles. The rage for trimming is more ex-
travagant than ever, it being at times no easy
matter to know what the original material of
q dress consisted Of before it was lost in lace,
guipure and bands of velvet. The new polo
naises have become great favorites, and
deservedly, for they are very becoming. Some
of the street costumes are picturesque enough
to make painter mouth water, and graceful
in their loops and ruffles. The style of
couture by which the hair is tortured out Of
its natural growth to form sort of nest on
the top of the head cannot prevail with ladies
Of taste. Although extravaganza, as usual,
enters largely into the details of Spring toilets,
yet there is much to admire in the latitude
allowed to judgment and good sense.
