A prominent New York physician lately

that sometimes they cured niraculously,

without effect. On being informed that

DUNDAS DICK & co. use more OIL OF
SANDAJwOOD than all the Wholesale and
Retail Druggists and Perfumers in the

sole reason why the pure Oil is sold

DAMAGE BY FLOODS,

1t is difficult to form an estimate OF
the immense damage on crops and prop
erty caused and still going on by the
floods. The Ohio Valley has suffered
very severely. The what crop in par
ticular is greatly damaged, as it had
Just been harvested and was mostly
still in the fields. A sudden rise in
the prices of -four and wheat is one of
the immediate consequences. Corn in
the bottoms is almost total loss; else
where the damage is not so great. The
oat crop is beaten fat in the field and
is nearly all destroyed. Barley has
suffered likewise, and what hay is saved
will be of an inferior quality. 1t is
estimated that fifty per cent. of all the
crops in Indiana is destroyed. In the
low lands of the Wabash 200, 600 acres
of corn has been entirely destroyed, at
loss of not less than So 000,000 The
fruit crop in Indiana is almosta failure,
and the injury to fax, potatoes and
other crops is great. The Terre Haute
Express estimates the loss to crops
and property in fourteen counties trib-
utary to that city as not less than Sl2;-
000,000. All classes are profoundly
discouraged. The damage done in
Southern and Central Illinois is rough
ly set down at $4,000 but is prob
ably much greater. In portions of
Central and Southern Missouri there
has been great destruction of crops.
though not by the wholesale as in the
sections mentioned, Portions of Ken
lucky and Tennessee have suffered
considerably, but not to the extent Of
a general calamity. Coming down the
river we find that many places between
Cairo and Memphis have been suffer-
ing for some days, and below here
number of fine plantations are almost
under water. 1t is too early to COM
pute losses, as we fear the worst is not
over. The effect has been very de-
pressing on our merchants and cotton
planters Many people give way to
gloomy forebodings without waiting to
see whether there is sufficient cause.
Places on the Arkansas river must
suffer, as it is unusually high, aud
there is no possible escape for the rich
bottoms. We shall see what We shall
see.-Aentphis Ledger.

THERE are, doubtless, thousands in
the South who think that Northern
capital is very blind not to see he
many openings for profitable invest
ments in agriculture, mines and man
ufactures. But those same thousands
do not reflect that doubt is cast upon
the statements made about those prof.
table openings by the fact that the
Southern people do not avail them
selves more readily and generally of
the advantages of which they justly
boast, but are so anxious to dispose 81
them to others. Northern capital, in
sequence of IFS ignorance of the
true condition of Southern finances,
and its deep-seated prejudice against
Southern society, is slow to look into
our undeveloped resources and doubt
ful of the wisdom of investing money
in aid of their development. Now, If
the SOutherners of different localities,
inspired by the true spiritof progress,
will combine their small means, organ
ize companies and go into the work Of
development by opening mines, erect
ing manufactures and improving their
systems of agriculture. the profits ac-
cruing will multiply capital for farther
development and thus make the South
independent of foreign aid and so full
ly illustrate the advantages it offers
that Northern capital will eagerly seek
investment and capitalists come with
it. Tits folly to invite immigration
and capital by glowing accounts of
genial climate and varied and profita-
bic productions of the soil, unless We
demonstrate the truth of what we
state by such solid results as will carry
conviction to the minds Of those who
are awaiting such results as the signal
for decisive action. Georgia is leading
off in the right direction, and the sta
tlsties of her factories is the strongest
argument yet made in favor of the in
aux of capital and population. And
when the whole South clothes and
feeds itself and makes its cotton a clear
gain. neither capital nor immigrants
will wait for any other invitation.

The SAT 900 stolen from the Treas

part. The theft was committed by
Gilman, an employee of the govern

ITis surprising with what facility a
whole people can concentrree their at
tention upon a single point and how
readily they can ignore eyers' other con-
sideration. no matter how tital some
c.herauestion may be to their best in
teresss. But yesterday, the intelli-
gent and honest citizens throughout
the entire Union were exerting them
selves To save the government. as the
first and the Indispensable step n the
work of reform, and to do this by dis
lodging from its councils the corrupt
representatives of corrupt faction,
whose leading purpose IS to subyert
ourinstiuiions by pervcrtingih their orig
inal theory aud reducingit, in practice,
to virtual deSpotism. To-day, the
absorbing issue is the currency which,
however important it may be. is OF
secondary consequence when CON-
pared with the preservation of the
Constitution with its invaluable safe
guards and guarantees. What Will
the opponents of contraction gain,
should the divisions likely to grow out
of the currency agitation result in the
success of the Rsdical-hard- money
party, with Grant as its President |?
The Democratic conventions, where
ever held. have not been unit on the
currency question. but unanimous in
their assertion of the right Of self
government by the States. and the abb
solute necessity for an honest admins
tration Of the government. Yet those
who have so resolved. entered straight
way into the discussion of the curren-
cy as the soie'issne and seemingly ig-
noring the fact that the system of cur
rency which the majority advocate can
moi be put in practice whilst Radical
ism Is in the observation-disclosures the first
question to be solved is the possible
defeat of that party. And since it is
clearto every intelligent man that there
will be no change in the hard money
policy until the ADMINISTRATION is chang
cd, it must be equally clear that thi-
question should be the absorbing issue
in the canvass and the currency be
treated as an important consideration,
dependent for success upon the defeat
of the Radical party. 9 es "1p
The discussion of the question is now
unavoidable, butt should be treated as
secondary to the overthrow Of Radical
ism, without which preliminary success.
there is no security for a wise financial
system, nor for the life of the consti-
stuticn, the rights of the States and
the liberties of all. If this be cor
rectview Of the situation, it ,sunwise, il
notsuieidal to give the currency ques-
ton prominence that may induce, il
not force. division, and thus throw away
the last chance of the people to vindi
cate their right of self-governmenta and

NEssEE FOR USE OF SoHoOLs.-J. NJ.
Stafford. State Geologist; j. B. Kille-
brew, Commissioner of Agriculture,
Statistics and Mines Z. HI. Bradley,
United States Assistant Geologist, are
preparing this work for the use of
schools in Tennessee. The authors
are competent to the task. Their cir
cular is as follows: r.a
"The undersigned, at the solicita-
ton of the friends of education
throughout the State. have in course
of preparation a school book setting,
forth in the simplest way, the geological,
mineral, surface and climatic features
of Tennessee. The book will be
printed in clear open type, on good pa
paper, with beautiful engravings illus
trating the charcaterisI fossils of each
formation, the relative position and
arrangement of the strata, and how
the coal and other minerals occur in
their native beds. 1t is the aim of
the authors to supply work simple in
plan and language, entertaining in
style, without teohnicalities, easy of
comprehension, and suited alike to the
young scholar and the unscientiic
reader.
Opportunities should be afforded to
all, aud especially to young people to
hecOme aouaint,.d NSith the varied re-
sources and capabilities of their State,
so as to enlarge their views, and in
crease their intelligence iD accord with
the tendencies and spirit of the age.
1t is furthermore desirable that such
information should be impaired
in oHr schools, in order that our
future men aud women may be
prepared to assist in developing the
natural wealth with which our State
is so richly endowed, and upon which
its prosperity, in the future, must In
large measure depend.
The authors may be excused for ad
ding that they bring to their task the
result of practical observation aud
study Of the State for many years.
The facts have been derived from orig
inal investigations. and for this reason
it is hoped there will be a freshness
about the information which otherwise
it would not have.
The work will be ready between the
first and fifteenth of next November,
in time for the fall and winter classes
OF the schools"
