The Flood i'm Arkansas.

MEMPHIS, May MANY reports have
been sent from here in reference to the
overflow which partOok Of a sensational
character, as for instance the damage at
OsceOla, Ark, where it was stated the levee
had broken and the. town was inundated
and the inhabitants in a perilOus condition,
when the fact was a small traverse levee
had broken and partially flooded the town
to the depth Of ten inches. But a review
of the entire situation may prove interest
ing. From Cairo to this pint steamers
cannot make landing on the left bank eX-
cept at the wharf-bOats, and yet, with the
exception of Opela, no serious damage to
the planting interests has resulted. From
the Louisiana line up, there are no leyees
on the Arkansas side except the local ones,
and large portion of the country subject to
inundation is sparsely settled, as is the case
opposite here, where the river spreads ont to
the highlands near Madison, distance of
over 40 miles. The st. Francis valley is
generally fiat, above the overflow, and
planters are waiting for dry weather to be-
gin planting. White River valley is inun-
dated up to Indian Bay. But for these
reasons already given, the damage is light.
Ten thousand dollars will probably cover
the loss of stock, etc. The Arkansas val
ley is overfiowed up to Arkansas Post,
but like the others, the damage is light, and
$4,000 will probably cover the damages
there.
The Damage Below.
From the mouth of the Arkansas down
is where the greatest damage resulted, and
where restitution undoubtedly exists among
all classes, but particularly labOrers and
their families. Large portions of the Tai
lahatchie and Yel.obusha bottoms have
been overlooked for some time, but at the
latest accounts the water was subsiding.
There is another crevasse at Catfish Point,
making the fourth in that vicinity, and yet
but few plantations have been injured.
Sunflower river has carried off the main
portion of the water escaping through the
Hushpuckana creyaSSe, and the Deer creek
plantations have not suffered materially.
But from AIilliken's Bend, twenty-five
miles above Vicksburg, is where the great
est damage has been done, and where the
greatest restitution and suffering pre-
walls. Citizens here are making good pro-
gresS in forwarding supplies to the suffer-
ers, and have established depots from Ma
poleon TO Vancluse Landing, having here
tofore sent relief to those above Napoleon.
To-day they sent by the Capital City TO-
600 pounds of bacon, 60 bales of hay, 100
sacks Of corn, IS barrels of flour and 100
barrels of meal.
a Household Of Eighty Starving.
= 4 lady from near Napoleon, whose hus-
band is one of the wealthiest planters of
that section, arrived here to-day. She states
she left the family and hands, numbering
eighty, without food. All would have
starved few days since, but for food fur
nished by officers of the city of Vicksburg.
The river is now stationary and within ten
inches of the flood of 1867.

ALL good people viii rejoice to learn
that recent dispatches from Memphis
concerning the disasters by flood have
been exaggerated. The distress and
suffering in the lower country is bad
enough, and must be intense formonths
TO come, while the crop prospect is
gloomy indeed in the land of magno-
has. There is more than ample scope
and need for all the tender ministra-
tons of Christian charity. All our
sister cities are moving actively for re-
lief, and Nashville Will, We are conf
dent, do her duty.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 30.-There is
nothing new relative TO tine food, save a
crevaSse at Catfish point in Bolivar bend,
Mississippi. No additional damage can
result from this crevasse, as the country
there for miles is inundated by the breaks
at Bolivar and Neblett's landing, the first
of which has admitted water for two weeks.
The destitution of the people along the
lOwer.cOaSt continues, and hundreds are
said to be

1t is reported here that the town levee,
not the State levee, broke at Osceola, and
that it is not damaged so much as was
stated in yesterdays dispatch. The ere
vase is only eighteen inches wide. The
regular levee at that place is nearly two
feet above high water, and will stand in
tact.

A portion of the foregoing may prove
Greek to the general reader but it makes
revelations which throw considerable light
upon several matters which have been in
voIved in some doubt and uncertainty. 1t
explains the delay or suppression OF the
DuFell investigating committee. 1t points
out the source from whence came the
numerous kilograms sent forth from Wash
ington to forestall public opinion and sup
press the elamOr for that report. taccounts
for the refusal on the part Of Morton and
few other Republican Senators to seat
Pinehback, which would have defeated the
aspirations of Mrs. Norton 70 her husband.
And, more than all, it accounts for the
threatened expose Of Barrett, which it's be-
lieved will result in the overthrow Of the
Durell-KellOgg Usurpation. CRESCENT.

Bishop Holland n. McTyeire

was born to rule. his person is command
ing, his will strong and his self-reliance
thorough. He knows the law and he
abides by it; he is solid as granite, and
firm as solid; he is reticent almost to a
fault, and his very reticence causes him to
be misunderstood. He is a fast and true
friend, and possesses, under comparative
ly cold exterior, heart glowing with
warmth, throbbing with love to all his race.
As he is slow of speech, he has to be heard
often in the pulpit to be fully appreciated.
he is about fifty-nine years old and has
been Bishop eight years.

A Nuisance Overlooked.

a gentleman residing ON Caroline
street informs us that there Is II dis
gushing nuisance adjoining his yard,
to which he has called the attention
of the proper authority repeatedly. As
the offence still remained, he naturally
inferred that some form had been
omitted by him in the presentation of
his complaint, and he thereuon asked
the attention of Policeman Stewart to
this noxious presence, and that officer
now declares he has 'done all he can
do" while the abomination continues
uninterrupted, and perseveres in smell
ing very boistcrous. The gentleman
no wwishes US to inquire how he can
obtain the remedy he desires.

On trials for rape, or assault with in.

she cannot be interrogated as to par

Recent complaint by the person in

tied to the purpose in rebuttal, of sup
porting the veracity and exhibiting the
accuracy of the testimony of the prin-
cipal witness.
There is clear distinction between
an assault with intent to commit rape,
and an assault with intent to have car
nal connection, and the charge which,
in proper state of facts, fails to pre-
sent tins distinction to the jury, falls
short of the statutory requirement.

TIE New York Nation says of Moses,
specimen governor of South Carolina,
"that he is white man, an original
rebel, that he is the son of man said
to have fired the first shot on Fort
Sumter, and is plundering the state
right and left" To which the New
York World promptly responds: "This
is not exactly so. The man who fired
the first shot at Fort Sumter was Ed
mund Ruilin of Virginia. Governor
Moses is unquestionably thief; he was
very pobably an Original REBEL and
may be a bastard for all we know. But
he is none of Edmund Ruffin's beget-
ting, that Is very sure. There are
plenty of fire eaters and original rebels
in that breed, but of rogues and vago-
bonds, scalawags and sneak-thieves,
absolutely none.u
