THE SOUTHERN FLOODS.

There is no abatement in the floods AT the
south since our last a letter in the New Or
leans Picay,tae, of May 9th, from Black Riv'
cr, says the country is submerged deeper than
in 1867 Among the people there has been
great privatlon and suffering in some in
stances Picture to your mind the condition
of our locality, when helpless widows ard
children are condemned to fight against star
walton with two and halfcars Of corn a day,
After mentioning other cases OF destitution,
the writer concludes: But for the arrival of
supplies from the Relief Committee of New
Orleans, the suffering here would have been
intense 1t thrills me with horror to contem-
plate what our condition would have been
had not Heavens sweet charity reached US in
time. May the donors never know what it is
to want If they could witness the effect of
their noble acts they would fully realize that
it is more blessed TO give than to receive"
The Memphis papers however, say the
suffering along the river has been greatly eN-
aggcratcd. There is no suffering or desttu
tution," says the Appeol "above Napoleon,
which has not or is not being relieved, and
care should be taken to send supplies to re
sponsble parties at dcpots already established
below that point, in order that they may be
properly distributed.
Planters from below were il. the city to-
day trying to procure hands, who confirm the
previous statement in regard TO the large
number of colored hands refusing to make
new engagements, thinking the National
Government will provide for them. The riv-
er at this point has fallen about two inches,
and a steady decline is looked for"

Boz INGERsoII~-The Chicago Times of
Monday fills five columns with what it edi-
torially calls Pope Bob's Nonsense" Bob
lngersoll, six or seven years ago, was attorney
general Of this state, under radical auspices,
and then became very ambitious to be elected
Governor. Being really the ablest man the
party had, it looked as if he must succeed {;
but the leaders and caucus managers decreed
otherwise, and Bob was set aside on the
plea that, being an infldel, the plous republi-
can party dared not endorse him. Bob has
been virtually dead cock in the pit" ever
since. The result is he has become soured,
and now delights in nothing so much as in
heaping abuse upon everything that savors of
religion. He defies all restraint of moral
or religious nature, calling himself his own
pope, and worships no god save of his own
creation. He holds that there is no god save
such as men make to themselves, and 1.-The
noblcst work OF mans an honest god" The
bitterest part of his last Sundays TRADE was
directed against the ecclesiastical council
now trying Prof, Swing, in Chicago, of whom
he says: "Had the presbytery OF Chicago
been present when Servetus was burned, they
would have quietly turned their backs, solemn.
ly divided their coattails, and warmed them
selves 1t is melancholy to see man of In
gersoll's ability thus throwing himself away

Pine Bluff with 200 men and proceeded TO

Brooks men poorly armed snd concealed in a
grocery store, he opened fire on them, killing
men and wounding twenty. 1t seems to
