Advices from Leadvale and Newport, to
noon, yesterday, were 20 the effect tn t the
track of the Cincinnati, Cumberland Can
and Charleston Railroad was under wa.sr
in some place. One ha'f mile Of lhs track
at Rankin's was submerged. AT the bridge
over the French Broad, at L.eadvAle, the
water was within three feet OF the kane.
The bridge is seven feet ab I'VE high wrer
mark. the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad IS all right, so far ss heard
from, and the track Is entirely out Of water.
TIE heavy rains have not lsft the tracks
Of other railroads in as safe a condition.
Owing to the track OF the Western and At
lantic Railroad being submerged in many
places, no trains have run over that road
for two days. A train Of loaded coal cars
has been kept standing on the new bridge,
near Resaca, to keep il from being sweps
away. The Selma, Rome and Dalton
Railroad has been seriously damaged by the
freshet.
The present rise in the Holston Is greater
than at any time since the well remembered
freshet OF 1857. The water Of the Littls
say the rivermen, Is yet 10 eOme
down, and may increase the rise few feet.
But it is probable that the river will have
attained its highest point this o,ning, and
will shortly be again peaceful ami iDno-
cent stre3m.

POIygamOus TheOcrats.

SALT LAKE, Feb. 15.-The special mes
sage of the President on Utah affairs, is The
crowning blow to the hopes of the polyga-
nous theocrat5. The Nelgs affects mode
ration and forbesrance, and says if col
lision takes place, it will not be at the seek
ing of the people. The position of the
saints in this crusade is peace, patience,
calm endurance and resignation.
The general tone of the Mormon press
today Is indicative of great fear. 1t was
not thought possible the government would
materially change its long continued policy
Of letting time and advancing intellectual
and moral influences solve the Mormon
problem. The of power Mormons at Wash
ington was deemed impregnable but now
the danger is so imminent they are filled
with CONSERVATION. In fact there is q
panic everywhere among the priesthood.
The masses Of the MoTmons are ap-
p2rently anxious TO quietly await results,
though it is we'll understood that a large
msjority Of the better class secretly sympa-
thiz9 with the Gentle cause and would
joyfully welcome thu day of emancipation
from Brigham's despotism.

A FRIGHTFUL ANIMAL.
Mountain People Loading their Guns
and BlOckading their Houses.

aAu oAOSAtseeAHS ssANAA
The Jonesboro, (Tenn.) Flag and Id
certiser, Feb. 13, has the following:
A gentleman recently from the Shelton
Laurel District of North Carolina, some
forty miles from this place, informs us that
the people in that 'denseiy thickeied"
country are greatly excited in regard to the
appearance, upon several different occasions
and in several different places, of huge
mountain monster, the species of which is
unknown. Mr.. George Anderson, one cf
the gentlemen residing in the Laurel
country, being one Of the persons who saw
the monster, also furnishes US with the TO-
lowing description of it:
81 was out in the jungle hunting up
some lost hogs, when all of sudden there
came into my path beast, the appearance
of which / must confess, caused me to
quake for the first tine in many years.
Aside from its strange and unusual appear
snces the unearthly yell it uttered on per-
ceiving me, which reverberated through
the forest, was enough to shake the senses
of the most daring adVenturer. The ami
NAL was some hundred yarks distant from
me, and appeared to be a huge black
bear with mane and head like a
lion. but had horns Ike an elk
upon it. Its tail was long and busby,
with dark and light ringlets around it TO its
very extremity. Its eyes cleaned like a
panther's and its size was that Of an ordinary
OK, but somewhat longer. Just previous to
making its appearance, had shot off my
gun at squirrel, and felt little prepared to
meet such ferocious beast without any
weapon of defense. | Immediately set
about reloading my rife, but had scarcely
begun, when il started towards me. | re-
treated iu as good order as possible, and
must say | did some good running-nOt
looking back until l had reached
al open spot, when l found the animal
had disappeared in the laurel thicket. This
is no story, Mr.. Editor, gotten up to
scare naughty children. am not the only
one who has seen the mOnster-ssveral
have seen il since did; and IS sheep, and
calves are lately missing, it is presumed to
be carniverous brute. Many have forti-
fed their homes to prevent a night attack
from the strange monSter-she like OF which
was never seen in these mountains before.
Some think it has escaped from some ram
bling menagerie, while Others superstitious'
ly think it is sent to warn people OF some
great approaching danger"
We recommend that the citizens of the
Laurel catch the animal and put bell on
Il!
