II s.UGLYn RAIN.


The Valleys Satur Ated with water
Gloomy PrOsPe.a for Planters and
Farmers.
From the Vicksb,Gr Miss Herald, March 25.
For more chan ten days past we have
had a Infant succession of rains In
this etc and there has been no twenty
tour Ao0rs IN hat time, night or day,
thAt has not furnished its quota of un-
Necessary moisture. For forty-eight
hours, commencing Saturday night, the
fall of rain was steady, continuous and
uninterrupted. The information that
we receive through the press, and from
our correspondence IN the interior of
the State, is one of uniform character.
From every quarter of Mississippi, east,
north and south, there comesto us dole
full stories of floods of rain, storms of
hail, misunderstanding ,anda generalin-
corruption to every species of outdoor
labor and business. Roads are submerg-
ed, bridges washed away, travel by dirt
road suspended, and in a numbero of dis
tricts throughout the State Circuit
Courts have failed entirely for the
simple reason that neither judges,
attorneys, htigants, witnesses nor Ju-
rors would reach the county seats
where their presence was most desired.
The earth is thoroughly saturated with
moisture, and except on high rolling
land, where the water is carried off as
fast as it falls, it viii require many
days of sunshine to get the fields in a
condition for blowing again. The con-
slant wet weather that has prevailed In
the interior for nearly three weeks has
greatly retarded all agricultural opera
tons, and up to this time very little
corn has been planted, when, to insure
a good crop, the great bulk Of 1t should
be up, and rapidly placed in a growing
condition. An early plant of corn is a
long stride In the work of the season,
and has greatly the advantage over a
late planting In its superior capacity to
resist the summer drought so injurious
10 that crop. A late planting of corn
means a still later planting of cotton,
and brings the cultivation of
both together, at a season of
the year when the demands of the cot
ton crop alone require all the attention
and energy that can be given it, and
this means hasty, slovenly, ill-directed
work, to the great neglect and injury
of both crops. These remarks apply
particularly to the interiorof the State
at present. but on the a~lluvial lands Of
Mississippi above US, and those of Lou,
isiana opposite to us, the prospect Is
still more gloomy. With constant rain;
~saturating the earth, the jewellers or
the ~alluviaI lands On either side Of tn,
river, are in danger of an overflow
which threatens them with great loss
and danger. Our latest information
from above is that the angry Mississip
pi is nearly level with the top of the
l~evees, and that every passing steamer
steamer sends its waves -slOshing over
This, of course, tends to weaken tbs
embankments, but we learn that every

outlook for the farmers and for agri
cultural operations is not good IN am

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE
here last week is a new feature in our
educational interests and will serve to
awaken the dormant energies of our
teachers and the friends Of public
schools. But it is a severe reflection
upon our educated men that we haveto
look to another State for some one to
give shape and life to these educational
enterprises. Tennessee is strong and
bold in many noble traits but sadly
weak and helpless in others. Our
county superintendent, Capt. Carrot,
deserves great credit for his interest
and zeal IN this institute.
Circuit Court is now in session with
Judge Martin presiding. Some one
gave him an almanac with only
four Mondays in this month
thus causing him to be three days be-
hind. But when he did come, his new
beaver, new suit, and quick step show
ed that he meant business, and in three
hours after he took his seat over forty
cases were concluded for the term.
The circuit docket is small, having
about I60 cases on the trial and twenty
on the appearance docket. Some Of the
cases are about transactions before and
during the flood, one being to recover

THE CRESCENT CITY.
Cause of the Recent Explosion below
Memphis.

From the Memphis Avalanche.
The chief engineer, Mr.. VIM. Briggs, of
the lost steamer Crescent City, stated dis
tinctly after his arrival here, that the boil
els of his vessel were not cleaned out dur
ing the upward passage, and that it was not
customary to stop to clean out at any time
on the trip from New Orleans to ST. LOUIS.
The mud-valves were always raised to blow
out the mud every time the watches
changed. This was done an hour or so be-
fore the explosion. A rumor has been
spread that the boilers were cleaned u
shortly before the accident, which rumor is
erroneous.
A few jagged slices of the boilers of the
exploded steamer, all rent, torn and plas-
tered over with mud, Were brought here
yesterday by the steamer A. j. White.
They were found in a corn field a couple of
hundred yards or more from the river bank,
and nearly a quarter of a mile from the
wreck, which lies sunk on the head OF the
next bar below M~ontezuma, a little below
RObb's Landing.
Mr.. Dan Rabb, who happened to be
standing on the bank looking at the Ores
cent City when she blew up, informs us
thatsO terrific was the explosion that pieces
of he boilers and timbers We're blown all
around him, and that u piece of the boil
er was actually thrown over the tree tops,
and was found in Col. Ellis field, a mile
from the scene of disaster.
