the latter for having inserted
in aspeech Of his published in the Re-

by Brown in the early days Of the rebel
lion, counselling the shooting of any
man in Kentucky who would join the
Union army; and Brown retaliating by
reading TO the house Starkweather's
letter to Huntingdon, cashier Of the first
national bank, Washington, asking for
peeuniary aid to defray the expenses of
his election. Brown having had Stark
weather's letter read from the clerk's
desk. went on 10 say that the author was
blessed with a thrifty patriotism, aud
always kept his eye onthe main chance.

HE'LL raE sTAnvINel

The story of disaster and suffering
which We publish this morning from
New Orleans win challenge the COM
misefation Of the people OF Memphis
and the whole country, as did the fearful
tale of death that last fall went out
from our fever-stricken city to harrow
the souls of every class in the Union.
More than thirty thousand people, it is
estimated, are threatened with starva-
tion, surrounded as they are by rising
waters, their stock swept away or dying
for want Of food, and no prospect
of the abatement of the destruct-
i've and overwhelming flood. Mr..
Faulkner, the representative in New
Orlesns of the parishes Of Caldwell,
Catshoula, Coneordia, Franklin and part
Of Tensss and RichlRnd, of Lsfourche,
Terreb0nne, Ouachita and Red River,
stated to Governor kellogg that in the
first-mentionedf fiveparishes not less than
ten thousand souls are without bread and
meat. and even corn. They have lost
their crops, hogs. cattle and work-stoek,
and are without dollar in money, and
have no credit "There never was more
distress, +" Ire adds, "and want in any
district in Ireland from political riot,
nor perhaps is there more distress and
want in the famine districts Of India,
than a part Of our people are now
threatened with" Add 10 this the har-
rowing tale by telegraph, Of the loss Of
life, the pitiable story of mothers wading
inraging torrents neck-deep tossve their
sucking babes, and We have a picture
that appeals TO us with irresistible
force, that goes straight to the heart Of
every mother, and that cannot fail to
make a draft on the heart and pocket of
every father who thinks tenderly of the
children who are to perpetuate his work
in the world. These heroic women and
brave men, confronting the remorseless
flood and relentless famine are of our
blood; they sre our near neighbors, our
friends and kindred, and their cry for
help should not be allowed to
pass Us on its way to the
world beyond without fitting response
from our citizens. Our Howards I"
have given their mite, and so set US all
an example. Let our corporate suthori-
ties do likewise, and prove that we are
worthy all that was done for US in our
hour Of need. Let afs do as soe hare
Geegl GOne 6v. The chamber Of COM
merce and cotton exchange, we respect
fully suggest, might do something to
mitigate tie effects Of q flood unpar-
alleled in the history of the Mississippi
VALLEY. We should not sit idly by and
see our neighbors perish, and We appeal
10 all classes of our people for help for
the uHfOrtunates of Louisiana. 1t |
Is true the general government |
has ordered rations for themi 50 |
it did for us, with clothing, !
aud yet we managed TO expend nearly |
five hundred thousand dollars in tive
months. Let Memphis do something,
even to the chartering Of steamer and
filling it with breadstuffs for those whose |
appeal for help should not reach Us in
VAN.

From the Nashville Banner of Wednesday,
CUMBERLAND AND TENNESSEE RIVERS.
Since my last report the river has
fallen slowly, and now stands at forty
se-ren feet six inches, which indicates
fsll Of six inches since three O'Clock on
the afternoon Of tie twentieth. AtseVen
O'Clock in the eveningthe depth of water
was observed to be diminishing slowly,
with sixty feet in the channel. The
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1874-04-24

temperature Of the water, both at the
surface and bottom, is gradually becOm-
ing higher, and now stands at sixty and
fifty-nine degrees respectively. Our dis
patches announce that the Clars syille
division of the Memphis, Clarksville and
Louisville road still remains in the same
condition, and cannot yet be operated.
The Tennessee river fell ten feet at
Chattanooga yesterday, and seven feet
at Bridgeport. 1t was also falling, though
slowly, at JohnsOnville. While il came
within one foot of being as high at Chat
tanooga as I'm February, 1873, II was four
feet higher at Johnsonville than In the
same month of that year. This differ
ence can only be accounted for by the
TACT that more rain fell in Middle than
in West Tennessee.
The river gave evidence yesterday of
a prospective rapid decline, and Il is
thought It will be within its banks again
within the next forty-eight hours, if not
within the next twenty-four. Families
are even now moving back into their
old homes, from which they were driven
by the tide. The fall of every two or
three inches enables some families to
reach their domiciles, if not by dry land,
at least by imprOmptu stage-planks and
nomely dugouts. Everyone seems re-
joiced at the prospect of decline in the
flood, as it will not only afford relief TO
those deprived OF their houses, but it
will permit the mills along the river tn
resume operations and thereby afford en-
ployment to those emnently deserving
Of il.
THE YAZOO BOTTOM.

Trustworthy information, received
from Yszoo, Mississippi, says, in re-
ference to the painting interests:
"The water is so high that no planting
can be done in the valley of the YazoO.
The weather to-day is clear and the
river falling Pereeptibly. If the fall
continue, a moderate crop will be made.
The crop in the hills has also been great
ly retarded by continuous rains, but if
the present weather continue an aver
age crop will be made.

Thenews of the death Of Captain John

Intelligence is broken to them. Captain
Mcconnell resided here several years

Johnson county, in which he was ever
a leading citizen.
