IN THE sHERIFF's HANDs--AN EFFORT BY THE CRED .
IToRs TO DEFER ITS SALE 90
On Wednesday last, meeting of the creditors
OF the Berks County r. R. was held at Reading
to take action to prevent, it possible, the sale of
the road by the sheriff. On Tuesday of the week
previous an alias f. fa had been awarded by
the Court, and the Sheriff of Berks County d-
rected to sell the Railroad with all its properties
rights and franchises. All the preliminary ar
rangements for the sale have been made and 1t
has been advertised to take place next month
After the organization of the meeting and
interchange of opinions by the creditors, a reso-
lntion was adopted authorizing certain gentle
men named therein to represent the creditors in
any action which they may deem proper to take
for the purpose of securing their claims or col
lecting the same, and in yesting the committee
with absolute power TO do all acts and things
whatsoever which in the opinion OF the mem.
bers thereof may be necessary to place the cred
itors i'll the best position possible with respect to
their claims, and to this end 10 make any ad-
justment with the said Berks County Railroad
Company, or with any person or persons, natu-
raj or artificial, TO prosecute and defend any
proceedings at law or in equity-to purchase for
them and in their names the property and fran
chises, rights, liberties and privileges of the
Berks County Railroad Company aforesaid, Gc.
A further resolution Was adopted excluding
from the benefit OF all action taken all those
whose names were not affixed to the above
agreement.
| Some further discussion ensued, in the course
of which Miller D. Evans took occasion TO criti-
else quite sharply the action of the Messrs
| Bushong, saying they had deceived the people
and were ready to sell out their friends. A com
mittee had been appointed previously to wait
upon the officers of the road butreported their
inability to get any information from them. One
| gentleman accused the Messrs Bushong, with
DeHaven Bro, and others Of a desire to let
the road be sold 80 as to buy it themselves.

The InundafiOza.

By map of the overlooked districts
published by the Picayune, we learn that
of the fifty three parishes of Louisiana,
thirty-one are partially or entirely covered
by the inundation The lands overaowed
are calculated at about $500. 900 acres,
about one-fourth of which vas under
cultivation in corn, cotton and sugar
when the food began.
Tosum up the flood from Memphis to
the Passes, the erevasses are over fifty
miles in width. Through them flow
streams greater and more powerful than
the mighty Mississippi itself, and which
pour out on this devoted country 2,000,-
900, 900 cubit feet of water every hour.
Not only is this water thrown OF the
land, but it must find its way to the sea
through six hundred miles of low alluvial
lands. 1t is not hyperbole, then, to say
that the Mississippi is wider now than
the far-famed Amazon, whose mouth
is two hundred and fifty miles ia
width.
The loss of the crops has been caIcula-
ted as follows: Cotton, 800, 600 bales;
sugar, 40, 900 hogsheads, and almost
total destruction of the tobacco and rice
crops, the last, one of the most prominent
and ever increasing industries of louisa
ma.
At the last reports, the minor Southern
streams were falling; but the Mississippi
was still rising and new breaks in the levee
were constantly occurring.

A Civil Rights bill is before the Senate
As we have civil rights here in Mississip-
pi and elsewhere in the South, we do not
understand why Southern representatives
should concern themselves about applying
the measure to other portions of the coun-
try; or what practical interest we have in
the question. On the 29th, Senator
Norwood, of Georgia, one of the medioc-
rites to whom expediency has assigned a
place for which he is unified, delivered
himself of a weak and dwelling speech
on the subject in which he did what he
was able to keep alive sectional strife and
the preudices of race We will venture
TO say that his colleague. Gen. Gordon,

They have a serious railroad trouble in
Wisconsin. The Legislature fixed an
arbitrary tariff Of charges for freight and
travel The managers of the roads an
nounce that such interference was in vio-
iation OF their vested rights, and besides,
would reduce fares below actual expenses.
They determined TO disregard the law
and to operate under their former sched-
ules until they could test the constitu-
tionality of the act by an appeal to the
Courts. Thereupon Gov Taylor has is
sued proclamati) ~ enjoining the roads
peaceably to submit to the law and con-
form TO its provisions. But what are
they to do if they are to be deprived of
adequate compensation? Is the laborer
