MEMPHIS, April lO.-The officers of
the steamer A. j. White, which has ar
rived here, bring 1ditional information
concerning the crevasse at Hushpucka
ny 1t is the opinion of the planters
there that the levee was cut on We'd
nesday night either by raftsmen OF per-
sons living on the west side of the river
to relieve them from the threatened
overflow The crcvasse is one hundred
yards in width, and the water is pour~
ing through it.. An attempt. was made
yesterday to. repair the levee,, but it
was found impossible to check the VOL
ume Of water. The levee is one of the
largest on the river, having base Of
three hundred feet and an. average
height of twenty-five feet. Some II
plantations are already'threatened, and
it is feared that immense damage will
be done in Suntlower, Tallahatchie, and
Yazoo bottoms.

KEY WEST, April 1O.-A letter from
Havana says: Frederick A. Dockery,
formerly United States collector at
Jacksonville, arrived here lately from
Key West. He remained several
weeks and then left for Santiago de
Cuba. 1t was ru1nored then that Dock
cry was on mission from the owners
of embargoed properties, but the ru-
mors has not been confirmed. Last
Friday Dockery presented himself to
the american consular agent at Neu-
vitas, representing himself as coming
from the interior. The consul imme Ii
ately took him to the Governor, and
the Governor referred the matter to
Portillo, the commanding general of
Of Puerto Principe, who ordered the
arrest of both. The consul was suisse
quently released by order Of Portillo,
but Dockefy was retained, papers com
promising him having been found on
his person. His trial is geing on. The
result is not known, but he was alive
on the 18th inst If he be found guilty
of communicating with the insurgents
he will very probably be executed.

I was truly astonish-
ished and must say panied to hear you give
expression to such sentiments as show
forth in your paper during the last three
or four weeks. Has really the great ana
conda, the deadly serpent warmed under
the very breast of this good and grand old
State until now she is ready. already en-
bedded in her yitals, to jump at her throat
and throttle her completely and forever,
so bewildered ana betogged your minds
that you would rather see another separa-
tion Of this State. another bastard child.
than to have her stopped from driving Her
tangs still deeper into our vltals? Has not
the BALTIC. & O. r. r. exclusive control
already of the best aud finest portion of
the State, I mean your Valley, and do you
really mean to insist in aiding to break up
and destroy what little is left of our Rail
roads as property Of Virginians? And do
yon really mean to divert what little trade
our Virginia cities now enjoy with our fell
low citizens in the interior of the States and
help to build up other towns and enrich
citizens Of other states? Don't our cities
pay by far the largest and heaviest burden
of taxation. and have they not always
shared all your burdens, trials and priva-
ton? Is it the fault of Richmond that she
went out of the late war mangled, helpless
ahd bleeding, politically and worse, fl
nancially, 4 smoking burning pile of ruins,
now struggling for her very existence that
you should wish to blast her and the
prospect of other Virginia cities and
towns, to enrich the already wealthy CAP
ital made by the Bait. 4 0. E. R. and to a
great extent by Virginia industry and
money. 1t is true, Richmond city to-day
might be powerful rival, our Railroads
too in the interests of our own citizens
might rival that great corporation, if they
wisely had pursued that same prudent
course at the beginning Of our late I'M
pleasantness, that our friends on that side
of the line pursued, i. g. remained peace
ably at home and made money out Of the
Fed. and Confed. and carried over our
railroads thousands and thousands of Fed
eral troops for greenbacks. Well that is
settled, they proved to be smart, but now
Messrs, Editors, in our poverty don't point
to those fs3agnif1cent cars, slnd those men
IN fine uniform coats with these handsome

| lis feel ashamed Of our vassaage and de-
peadanee? Still we have record, com
mon record written i'll blood, if we are
poor, we are proud Of it.
Messrs. Editors, the Valley has an out
let now to markets, although [ doubt
whether they are as good or better than
some nearer home, now why should You.
who are not, as far as your markets are
concerned, at all affected and who have
the railroad at your doors, threaten even
Il disruption of the State in order to serve
the already far-reaching cupidity and
grasping avarice eff q foreign corporation
at the expense Of your own already strick-
cn dear native state. Hope there is vet
enough Of that Independence and State
pride and love left to forbid any such
thought as separation.

THE POLAR STEAMER TisREss Blown
VA Geographic dispatch from St.
Johns N f. Of April 81 states:
"The steamer Tigress, whose name
had passed into the history of Polar
research in consequence of her rescuino
the unfortunate Polaris party on the
rice flow" last year and her later trip
to the northern coast of Greenland in
the service of the United States govern
lnent, In search of the remainder OF
Captain Halls expedition, exploded her
boiler while seal fishing, near here
to-day. Two engineers and twenty Of
the CREW were killed. The steamer is
under sail for this port"
The Tigress was first brought to
public attention in May, 1878, having
on the 30th of the previous month
rescued Captain Tyson and eighteen
other members Of Captain Halls Arctic
exploring party, who had been sepa
rated from their associates and had
tioated for months on an ice-feld. The
story of these rescued men induced the
government to send two vessels to the
| Arctic regions in search of the remain
der OF Captain Halls party. The naval
steamship Juniata was designated to
take part in this search, and in June
the Tigress was bought from hel
owners in st: Johns N. f., to act as
her eonsort. She was fitted ont, and
on the 18th of July she left New
York to begin Search of the
coast of the Arctic regions. Her
officers settled it that Captain Bud

and had started toward civilization, and

AN EPISODE IN THE VIRGINIA LEGIs-

Delegates, on Thursday, during the
discussion of bill for the protection
of game, Mr.. Cockrll, Of Fairfax, re-
marked that his county was in need OF
protection from persons who come from
Washington. Georgetown, and Alex
andria, and deprecated upon it.
Mr.. Syphax, (colored,) from Alex
andria county, made few remarks in
reference to the bill, and concluded bv
saying in an offensive manner, that
Fairfax was too poor to afford
pheasantsor cartridges, OF even com
petent representative on the floor OF
the House. Here the Speakers gayel
came down violently and Mr.. Syphax
was ordered to sske his seat. A mem
Der forthwith offered resolution to
expel Mr.. Syphax FROM his seat in the
House for wantoply insulting member
on the floor Mr.. Sypnax attempted
to make hypothetical apology, which
was not entertained, he then made a
fair, full and ample apology for his

The Case Of Req. T. T. Keue7rich
The New York newspapers publish the
report of the committee appointed to
try the case Of Rev. Tunis Titus Ken
drick, pastor of the Grace street Meth
odist Protestant church, Williamsburg
N. Y, heretofore briefly mentioned
The committee found him guilty of in
toxieation and conduct unbecoming a
Christian minister. He was charged
with ''gross immortality" but the
charge was not fully sustained by testi-
mopy and rejected. The ''charge of
being under the influence of liquor in
the church on February Is, and on
other occasions at divers times and
places, was sustained. The charge
was also sustained of conduct unbe-
coming Christian minister ''tnat he
identified himself with an association
for the indulgence in amusements in
consistent with the practice of Chris
tian life, countenaneing dancing, though
tacitly disappearing Of round dancing
as conducted in public balls, &c: more
over, in unchristian behavior towards
certain females on the 9th of March =
CHI; rge of attending public ball, and
there and then publicly approving and
upholding such assemblies fully sus-
tanned also Of declaring from the pull
pit that dancing is in accordance with
Bible teachings. These charges being
sustained, MIR. Kendrick was declared
suspended from officiating as minister
in til bounds Of the New York Annual
Conference of the NJ. P. Church The
majority Of the members of the Grace
street church expressed their dissent
from the verdict and asserted that they
would sustain their pastor, who alleges
prejudice against him ON the part OF
the president Of the court and will take
an appeal.

Messrs. Editors:
Your paper came to
hand this morning and has Been read
by your humble representative with a
great deal of pleasure You have, in
my Judgment, struck the key note of
our future prosperity and greatness.
An honest, faithful pied ge to uphold
the hands Of justice, and comply with
our State obligations is the true way
that will lead US out of our difficulties.
Would that we could bury out of sight
and memory the horrible corpse of that
monster, '"repudiation" that the stencil
OF its rotten carcass may never more
render foul the political atmosphere of
our old State. Continue your efforts in
behalf of honesty, which we all con-
fess is the chest policy
I feel sure the people will see YOU
are right, and will appreciate your
work accordingly.
No sane man in this Old Common
wealth, would for a moment consent
to have all the great and grand i'm
provements for the construction of
which this State debt was created dis
tfoyed, for even double the amount we
ROW owe. We have value received
and we owe the purchase money, and
refusal on our part to pay, will,
am sure, cost US more than double our
Indebtedness in the depreciation of our
State and individual credit and the
obstruction of all confidence On the part
Of the balance of the world in the in
tegrity Of the people of Virginia.
did not intend to enter into dis
cussion of the state debt and will not
do it.
Yesterday we elected Hon. r. III. T.
Hunter, Treasurer Of Virginia. I hope
our selection will prove wise one, and
that the financial ability claimed for
him by his friends, viii be productive OF
good to the State
Yours truly, nj.
