Relief for the louisiana Suf-
feFers-A Letter Of Thanks.

Some time ago. the Ls.dies. of the Hills
boro Temperance Association sent some
boxes of clothing to the sufferers by the
floods IN Louisiana. The following letter
gratefully acknowledges the receipt of the
clothing, and earnestly appeals for further
aid, which, it seems, is as much needed as
ever. We trust the appeal will be gener-
ously responded to by the people of our
county. Articles sent to Mrs. Eliza J.
Thompson, Hillsboro, from any part of
the county, will be gladly received and
forwarded with the contributions from this
place.
SMITHLAND, near Red River
Landing, La, June IA, IA.
Mrs. E. J. THOMPSON. President
Women's Temperance Asso., Hills
boro, Ohio Dear Madam Having
received, through Messrs. Jas. H.
Laws & Co., of Cincinnati, contri-
button from your Association to the
suffering poor of our afflicted region,
l think it may be agreeable to you to
know that the clothing you have SO
kindly collected and sent has been
distributed to the right place, viz
where most urgently needed.
Our people of this section of La.
made no crops last year, and conse-
quently were left greatly in debt for
their last years supplies. Corn was
an entire failure, SO they commenced
this year without corn, without
clothes, and wholly without credit.
To begin this years crop seemed al
most impossible, but it was begun in
in small way, and the food came
and swept away the only, the last
hope-aU! Nothing is left to start
again. There must be means found
to carry this people through this
year, or they starve.
We have at least 10000 suffering
and needy in La. alone. It is a great
mistake to think the want of help
has vanished or lessened by the fall
ing OF the water. It is no less, nor
will it diminish for five months at
least. The prospect of a crop planted
at this late season is too poor to ex-
pect credit, even if our merchants
had the means, which they have not.
They were all broke last year. Nor
can we get the means even to try to
make little, save from abroad and
by charity. You see our situation is
ust as helpless as it was when the
water was on the land. There is one
difference; we can now find land to
bury the starved on.
In my own name, and in the name
of the hearts made glad by youi
kind help, I thank you, dear Ladies'
for your sympathy and for your ma
terial aid. We need all you can dc
for our people. We anticipate much
sickness; indeed it is upon us now
Send us some medicine if you can
do for us what you can, and God will
pay you, if we never have it in oul
power.
You can send your contributions
direct to me through Messrs. Jas. H
Laws & Co., Cincinnati, or by Ex
press to New Orleans, care of Messrs
Warren & Atkinson.
1 am gratefully yours,
W. D. SMITH, Agent.
If you ship by river, direct to me
lcare Red River Landing Wharfboat.

the claims of Hospitality" another
of "Justice," another of Charity,
&c. &c. At the close the argument
was summed up by Miss Cora 3.

ANOTHER WAR IN AFR1cA.-A cable
despatch special to the Herald gives US
to understand that the Egyptian Khe-
dive is finding some opposition to his
government in what is commonly called
the upper country. The Sultan. of Dar-
foor recently invaded the territory of
the khedive, near tie Bahr-el. Gazel,
his object being to capture slaves. The
Egyptian Governor. Zebiu Bey, gave
battle. The army of the Sultan of Oar
foor was TO-. 900 strong. The battle was
keen, and lasted six hours. The Esyp-
tim army WAS completely successful
The DarfoOr army was routed, four
guns were captured. and the Yizicr and
many chiefs were umong the slain. 1t
is gratifying to find that the Khcdive is
earnestly bent upon putting down the
slave trade. Egypt begins to give pro
misc of becoming great power in Cen
trail Africa. 4 succession Of rulers like
Ismail Pncha will restore empire to the
banks Of the Nile.

THE DEATH OF W. H. McOAw.-This

The DEATH OF ". 81. McOAw.-This
community has rarely been startled by u
moro heart-rending accident than &C.
Cured, according to the account we
have been able to gather, about o'clock
on tho morning Of the 18th instant
x Everything that medical
attendance, skill and tho most loving
cnre could do, was done to relieve his
sntleriDgs; aud when the angel OF O
better and boiler world laid it's gentle
baud upon his agony, he arose in tho
pride Of his unsullipd manhood and re-
turned his bright life into the hands of
Him who givsih md taketh away. Mr..
w. 81. Meow WIS we'll knawn in this
city, and almost as we'll known through
out the State. With nspowerful and
cultivated Intellect, with warm aud
generous nature, with fearless and
chivnlrlo Character, he made straight his
pnths before his fellow-man. Impulsive
aud vigorous. yet brase and collected.
McCaw Was strong aud energetic in oil
thngs-strong in his likes; strong in
his diHlikes; strong in denouncing what
ho believed to be wrong, and strong in
sustaining what he believed to bo right
1t was our province to differ with him,
greatly differ with him, in many things,
and to meet him honestly squnrely and
gallantly in the generous rivalry Of our
profession. 1t was our privilege to feel
that the sharp sentence that dashed
from his pen, like the fash of the blade
OF Toledo. often lost it's tempered edge
in the ready smile, the merry laugh and
in the gentle expression and genius of
an eye that never quailed in the dis
charge or consequences of his duty.
There is no man without the fault of
human nature; but whatever his faults,
he wore the honor of his gallant and
promising youth like diamond on his
bosom, and carried in his hand, even
INTO death, the love and admiration Of
host OF friends. among whom he was .
tower Of strength, and the respect even
OF those who stood opposed to him in
the struggle OF life. Over his untimely
grave, the Union Herald claims the right
to place its wreath of immortelles, as an
humble tribute to his departed worth.
