and Loudon.
The loss by this high de can scarce
ly be enumerated. We saw stables,
mills boats, saw-logs, lumber, in a
word, we saw things of altiiost every
description and variety floating down
the river. One of the most hovei sights
we saw passing was a dog in a. small
canoe going down. He stood erect
with his tail and head up looking
danger in the face. There has been
thousands Of bushels Of grain washed
away together with a great deal of
stock. The river at this point was
about forty-seven feet above low water.
1t lacked about two feet of being as
high as the great tide of 1867. In con-
clusiOn / will say that | have often
read of danger and terrors of high
waters but l never experienced the
reality before. If there had been a
corn buyer OH the bank that night of
terror with US be could have bought
load for a song.

fhe Rcbublic in France.

The alliance between the republic
cans and the constitutional monafch>
lists in France continues. a Senate
has been created, the powers Of the
marshals have been confirmed, and
the republic has been definitely pro-
claimed by a vote Of 433 yeas to 262
nays. The Bonapattists and the
Iegitimists opposed it. but the al
lance triumphed. This a most graft.
flying event. The new republic is
very conservative not much more
than a monarchy. Bur The principle
is saved, and it can only re destroyed
by revolution. It is tWenty>seyen
years since France formerly By her
Assembly proclaimed a Republic
Let US trust that this creation will be
happy and prosperous, aud that
France will enter upon new and
splendid career, worthy Of ner geninS
and her civilization. N Y. Hs,TH.

The Knoxville CHRONICLE favors
Compulsory Education and predicts
that it will be the most momentous
question of the furture. abstracts
II considered the views of the
Chronicle are correct we think.
Practically if the general Govern
mcnt means to control the compost
ton and character of the schools
in the State; while the latter have
10 support them; we shohld be dis
posed to dissent from the PROPOSE
ton to make attendance compul-
sorry. Our recent escape from the
mixed school feature was so narrow
a one that it only proves the dam
ger of the future.

The Case Gone Against Bcecher.

4 New York letter says: cannot
be mistaken in public opinion when l
say that the case is already gone
against Mr.. Beecher. 1t would be
premature, with respect to all fair
and judicial minds, to say this at the
present stage, if the defence, among
its several errors had been commit
ted the cardinal one of giving itself
to the PUBLIC in advance of trial.
Otherwise, men would say to them
selves and each other. ''wait until
you have heard him.. As it is. they
can only say 1--WE have heard him" -
and so they make up their conclusion
at once, confident from the nature of
the case that nothing of great impor-
lance can have been omitted In the
testimony on Mr.. Beecher's behalf
before the church committee and the
public, last summer.
