A SAD TALE.
4 Husband Schemes to Ruin His
Wife.

| pitiful story comes to us which, were ii
possible, it were better left imprinted. A
young man meeting some four years ago, a
buxom gretchen from Germany, employed by
respectable family here as maid, became
enamored and paid her almost nightly visits.
After some three years had elapsed he asked
her hand, and when it was given him he
assured her the marriage day would soon be
fixed.
After much importantly he succeeded in &C
comprising his purpose, and the poor girl
alone, in a strange country, was almost be-
side herself.
After her condition was made known to the
family where she was employed they secured
the marriage Of the couple, but it was evil
IDENTITY distasteful to the man. They had not
been married long before it became apparent
that he sought for some means of Kidding him
self of her, so he requested her to return to a
lady's where she had lived, with her child,
and he would soon 90 to housekeeping
After some weeks had passed he called and
told her everything was fixed, and informed
her if she would 60 to No. = Customhouse
street and ask for Mr.. Henry's room she
would see her own apartments
She went at the appointed time, but met
there, to her horror, strange gentleman,
who informed her he was Henry. She fed
down stairs to the street when, confused and
weak, she Was startled by meeting her hus-
band, the man who had once BETRAYED her.
and with him two witnesses.
He cruelty charged her with intiielity,
telling her she well knew the character Of the
house, and declined to have anything more to
do with her. The whole of the above scheme
was exposed ina suit before one of our courts
in which the girl obtained divorce from her
betrayer.

New iberia, La, Feb. 2S.-The meeting tn
protest against the Wheeler compromise met
to-day pursuant to call. A dispatch was read
from Representative Schwing, requesting
that the meeting be postponed until he could
be present, hence it adjourned to meet again
next Saturday.
All the planters who come in are bitterly
opposed to compromise, but we hope the ex-
actions of the Wheeler committee will defeat
the dishonorable scheme. J.Y.o.

DISASTROUS FLOODS In TENNESSEE-THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY SUBMERGED.

CHATTANOOGA, March 1.-The river has
been at q stand since morning, covering
Market street from the river to Ninth street,
and submerging Union Depot, Commercial,
Van Horn and Read Hotels, and very nearly
all the business houses on Market and Ninth
streets, south Chattanooga, completely, and a
great many houses in the main part of the
city, which are not SO fortunate as to be
situated on high ground.
One man who was intoxicated was drowned
on Saturday, and two last night, one of
whom was colored; the other was chief en-
gineer of the Chattanooga Iron Company's
works, named Jones. This comprises all the
fatalities known as yet. The steam ferry boat
was among the submerged houses in South
Chattanooga Saturday and Sunday, relieving
and taxing off all who were in need. Many
have been the duckings received, but every
body, not excepting those whose loss is heavi-
est, is in happy mood and disposed to take
it cheerfully
4 boat is used to get to and from the tele-
graph Office, and from one side of the town
to the other messages have been delivered
nearly as promptly as usual Notwithstanding
the greatly increased number of them, n
consequence of the flood. The railroads are
cut Off in every direction; consequently there
have been no mails to or from the city for
several days past until to-day.

food that has visited that region since Noah's,
with one exception, is now sweeping down
Tennessee Valley; all the low ground about
Chattanooga is submerged, and there is a
great loss of property. Every railroad lead
into the city is badly washed, and whole Sec

is out in twenty places.
The Atlanta Road has lost many bridges.
The Memphis and Charleston Road is under
water for miles and has lost heavily in

impression will 90 forth to the country that
a mob prevented it.
Mr.. Booth-Mr. Booth then took the floor.
and after touching upon the remarks Of
Messrs. Burke and Leonard, relative to the
course of reasoning whereby they were brought
to indorse the compromise, he affirmed that il
Gen Grant is really inclined to drive us to the
wall We will so there and then stand until
friends come to cur relief.
We are not yet at the last extremity, Mr..
Booth asserted, aud he adiured the members
not to accept the humlliating terms held out
to US. The people have considerations high
enough TO dismiss fear from the subject The
Louisiana case has occupied the attention of
the country for a long time, and the assertion
of the committee that they had met indiffer-
ence a. the hands of the Democrats was quite
natural, but these Republicans were the only
ones who took any interest. Quite right, for
matter up. II has crippled and will eventu-
ally ruin them, if we stand firm.
The appeal is made to pass resolution, by
which you will do a favor to Kellogg, that is
you will aid him in the execution of his obi
Gus laws, and you agree to not disturb him.
Let US stand where we are, that is all the
country asks of us. Let US not take the ad-
vice OF enemies, for it is only our enemies in
Washington who advise compromise; but let
Us be advised by our friends.
Senator Thurman counsels patience; the
address Of the Southern and South-W Western
members OF Congress- published a few days

V1ce-PreSident Wilson.

There was never any possibility ina
Senator WILSON should be elected Presiden
of the United States. Men who have figured
rs fanatics are not likely to rise to thG hlsbel
administrative dignities. The fac: that they
could be fanatics proves that they are men
tally incapable Of craftsmanship or great adj
ministrative power. Men who would raise
war that would cause the shedding OF
blood and then shed rivers of tears at the
work they had done, can never be safely
trusted in positions of high control.
The late movements of the Nice-Presi-
dent-that southern tour which he cndes
vored to make so popular, &c.-was so uu
disguisedIy presidential canvass that peo-
pie saw through it, but looked upon him very
kindly as laboring under harmless de!usion.
1t is little amusing that the tbird-term
party should have taken upon itself the task
of depreciating the Vice. President. The
Administration organ at Washington has
been particularly malicious towards him. II
has, however, been quite significant that he

valley Of the Ohio to connect with lluntlp5-

built along the Scioto Valley from Ports

Ohio, while she has no road along the river

trimeatal 10 her interests. The maintenance

Speeches were made 10y General LEE, Colonel
SAMUEL SWAMI, ROBERT HowIsoN, Major
JOIN u. Rogers, and a. r. MICoU. We are
sra,ited to see that General LEE, in the
course of his remarks, made an alluslon to
the public debt, which proved that in public
in the maintenance Of the public honor as
well as the honor of u soldier he is equally
faithful and gallant. He declared that be re-
sarded the public debt precisely as he did an
individual obligation, and held both public
and private honor to be sacred,
We see that the Alabama Legislature, hay.
ing appointed Committee on Immigration,
that body Of gentlemen has made an appeal
TO the citZcuS for money to dctray the eX'
pe1scs Of laying before the world inform l.
ton of the superior agricultural and mineral
advantages rtftrcd by the State TO those
seeking new homes. The Legislature would
have acted more practically had it appropri'
ated the money for the purpose.
But Sebastian county, Arkansas. has done
the thing i'll most liberal style. They form
cd an immigration society. and appointed Il
committee " ON welcome" whose duty it Is
to "giye information TO strangers coming
"into the county in search of homes, ADVISE
'them where to obtain horses TO rae over
..the country, show them all reasonable
hospitality, and see that they are not im-
.'posed upon by cXorbitant charges"
The Society itself published the following
invitation 10 everybody:
at will be seen from this organization
that the people Of Sebastian arc awake, and
mean to open tncir doors, their barns, and
the corn.cribs to all who may come amongst
. them seeking homes, no matter whether they
come from the North, the South, the East, or
the West: and that Il welcome awaits them.
We have lands for all-lands rich in mineral
wealth, as productive as any in the world.
We have splendid prospect for good crops,
and if at all favored by Providence we will
be enabled to say Il. all Come; We have
enough aud TO >p.re, aud ,ciH checrJully d.
yide ,ciM you and make you comfortable
until you can make a crop OF yot' osr's.' -
Nothing could be more generous.
And what do all the proceedings about
immigration mean: Dissatisfaction with
things as they are. Certainly large imml'
grafton of the Caucasian race is greatly de-
manded ia the South. Nothing could do SO
much good to our southern States as u liberal
immigration OF the right sort: practical
men, farmers and mechanics. The present
condition of things cannot be endured. We
must have more white artisans and tillers OF
the soil, or we may have fewer of them.
