We learn that the Rev. j. B. West
has purchased the Soule Female Col
lege at Murfreesboro; and will take
up his residence there in July, pre-
paratory to opening that Institution in
September. Whilst we shall rejoice
at any change which may enhance his
happiness and prosperity, it pains us
to lose from our midst, one whom we
have known and esteemed so long-one
whose high standing and acknowledged
ability, whether in the pulpit or at the
head of high school, will be felt as a
heavy loss by the entire community. But
our loss will be the gain of another
people, and it is consolation to re-
feet that the force of his moral and
intellectual character will continue to
be felt by those he is leaving, whilst
making its impress upon those amongst
whom he is about to reside. If good
wishes can secure for him all he antic-
ipates from the change, his move will
be very decided success.

PENCIL PoRTRAITs.-Wewere shown,
few days since, two portraits drawn
with pencil, by Miss Lizzie Crozier,
an accomplished young lady of this
city. One was the portrait of our ven
cradle and esteemed fellow townsman,
Prof. VIM. NJ. Stewart, sketched
from a miniature photograph. To ex-
ecute life-size portrait so true to life
from very small portrait, exhibits
rare artistic talent in the pupil and re-
fleets credit upon her teacher, Miss
Carney, of the Female Academy. The
other is a portrait of Washington lr-
wing, drawn from an engraved picture Of
him which was executed when he was
yet young man. 1t is said to be an
excellent likeness, whilst the execu.
ton of the drapery would do credit to a
master painter. These portraits have
been presented to the members of the
woliterary societies at Stewart College
the Stewart and Washington Irving.
We know the young gentlemen Of
these societies will appreciate these
fine works of art and give them a con-
spicuous place in their halls as last
ing memento of thier gifted donor.

buildings. Counting the public build

The Overflow.

The river at this time Thursday
morning. is nearly as high here as it has
been since the war, with every prospect
| OF a still further rise. The rains of
the past few days have caused rise Of
almost unprecedented rapidity for the
stage of water. An immense amount
Of damage has been done by the re-
moval of fences, in many places
carrying the rails entirely away,
and by the overflow Of farming
lands. Almost all the bottom land,
even in the highest localities is
entirely submerged along the whole
length of the river, and very large
amount of wheat sowed last year, which
promised an unusually fine crop, has
been ruined. The river farmers will
be very late in getting their crops in, as
they will have to wait for considera-
BILE time after the river falls before
breaking up" their lands. The con
tinual rains will also make the hill far
mers somewhat behind time in getting
their crops pitched in this section, and
our country friends are looking rather
blue over the gloomy prospect. We
hope to see a cessation of the wet
weather, and decline in the river.
is The river continued to rise Friday
morning, having risen something over
two feet in the last twenty-four hours,
and about seven inches in the last
twelve hours, and is now within three
or four feet Of the rise of 1S47. Cross
saw mill and office are filled with
water and several other houses on low
grounds are partly filed The ware
houses of TURNKEY, Ely & Co., Grinter,
Young & Co., Keesee and Northing-
ton, the City Mills, the Pillow Factory
and some other buildings are yet clear
of water, but only little above it.
A large number of saw logs have
broken loose and been carried off from
the mills here. Large quantities of
drift are still running, and there is but
little probability of a cessation of the
rise before Sunday or Monday.
The Nashville papers of Thursday
report continuance of the rise at that |
place and much damage being done.
The Mississippi, Ohio and Tennes-
see rivers are reported as rising.
Trains south of this point on the |
L. and n. and CT. Southern Rail- |
road have been discontinued for the
present on account of the high water,
and only one train arriving and depart
ing to and from the north, leaving at
$50 and arriving at 5:48P.M. Our ex-

Our friend. V. S. SHELBY, former

firm which owns the mills mentioned
in the following extract which we take
from the New Mexican, published at
Santa Fe, New Mexico:
1.-The Tennessee mill will probably
be running about the time you receive
this letter, and if it does not take out
the silver and make money for the
owners and the miners hereabouts, 1
will be very much mistaken; it is with
out doubt the finest and most complete
mill that was ever put upin New Mexss
leo, and as good as any in the United
States" '.''
