A New Southern Attraction.

The busy season is near it's close, and our
citizens are coming their summers pro-
gramme of pleasure and recreation. The
centennial exposition will draw large mum.
bers to the Quaker metropolis, but it is
gratifying to note that more than ever be-
fore is disposition manifested to seek in
Southern resorts that health and enjoyment
which it has been too much the fashion to
purchase at great cost in distant places.
For two or three years this tendency to sup.
port home institutions has been notably on
an increase, with the very natural result
that attractiveness and facilities have kept
pace with enlarged patronage, until q
elimination has been attained in the cree
ton Of the "Grand Hotel" at Point Clear,
which leaves even habitual visitors to the
famous caravanseries of Saratoga, Newport
or Longbranch nothing to wish for.
On one Of the lovliest sites of the entire
American coast, where invigorating sea-
breezes mirgle with health-giving zephyrs
from scented pine forests, where drives
and promenades through groves of spread
ing oaks and magaolias WOO lassitude from
the invalid and the INDECENT, Mesers. II. c.
Baldwin & Co. have erected hotel unsur-
passed for completeness in all its appoint
ments. Every comfort and convenience Of
first class fashionable watering place can
De had at the Grand Hotel. Its fittings and
arrangements are superb and wholly new.
Its facilities for billiards, ten pins, boating,
shooting, fishing, driving, ETC., are COM
plete and under experienced management,
60 that the man Of tho world need fear no
deprivation of accustomed pleasures; while
a superior band will be ever ready at the
call of Terpsichore's devotees.
That the capacities of Captain Baldwin's
magnificent establishment will be thor
oughly tested by the elite Of Mobile and
Montgomery society seems already assured,
and we can safely promise a full repre-
sentation from the Crescent City during
the glorious Southern summer evenings
now 80 near at hand. Point Clear was
ever popular with our people, and many
pleasant "reminiscences linger with them
and recall by-gone men and times. Under
the new regime, with such reasonable
charges as are asked, the old popularity,
can not but be increased. The rate for
board is to be only $50 per month, or s. so
per day. Passengers leaving New Orleans
on the morning train arrive at Point Clear
to dinner. The beautiful and feet steamer
Annie makes daily trips from Mobile to the
point. All letters for further information
should be addressed to II. c. Baldwin g.
Co., proprietors, Point Clear, and promptly,
too, for the formal opening will take place
by the first of june

We republish letter below from .
planter to Mr.. y. w. Boswell, of Vicksburg,
giving Q description Of the devastation
done the country above US by the recent
breaks. The letter says:
NEARLY the whole country from Vicks-
burg to Memphis will be ruined by the
overflow. From Helena to the Arkansas
line there are very few places out, and the
breaks that have occurred on the Missis-
sippi side.will put all the Yazoo basin IN
der. The most serious break occurred on
Friday evening, about one mile and half
above the Buck Ridge break, just opposite
Colonel Wade's place, above Bolivar land
ing. In eighteen hours that break WAS
widened 1900 feet, overfowing the protec-
ton levee on Williams bayou, and pouring
over the Deer Creek bottoms, and will back
has occurred at Ben L0monde, opposite
Lake Providence, and the levees are very
threatening at many places. Immense dam
age has been done to property and stock,
and the worst lie not yet.
"A very serious break occurred last night
at Bass levee, just below Providence, on
the Louisiana side, and it is from 800 to 400
yards wide. and pouring through at fear
ful rate. There is no estimating the de-
struction of property and crops, and with
the bottoms all full and the upper rivers
rising, there can be no hope Of the water
receding before June or July.
''It is truly distressing to witness the de-
structi0n from the floods. The people,
white and black, in places, are crowded on
the levees without food or shelter, and the
suffering that must follow will be fearful.
1.-THE river at Bolivar landing before the
breaks occurred was eight inches above the
high water of 1867 or 1874"
The river commenced falling at this point
eight days ago, and up to date has declined
about eight or ten inches. We also notice
decline of few inches in the swamps. A
letter from our friend Harry Fell, of Tai
lulah, informs US that ROundaway bayou is
falling, and the planters are hopeful that
they will yet be able to make good crops.
We learn from y planter at Milliken's
Bend that the crevasse at that place has
widened to about ninety yards, and the eff,
fort to close it has been abandoned. The
storehouse of Mr.. l. Feis has been knocked
down by the flood, but as the stock of goods
was previously removed, but very little
damage was done.-Madison Journal.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT WILKINSON
This wicked young man, who played mer-
chant, with one Brewer, on Gravier street,
short time, and then suddenly decamped,
having victimized several we'll known
firms, and was afterwards lodged in Jail in
Louisville, will reach here to-day or to-
morrow. Detective Pearson, of this city,
who went to Louisville with . requisition
for accused, reached there on the evening
OF the twenty-fourth instant, accompanied
by Mr.. Wash. Marks, the latter especially
in tho interest of Messrs. Schmidt &
Zieg)er, who claim that wilkinson owes
them $500 in gold. The day before Wiki
inson deserted this village he purchased
seven hogsheads of sugar, agreeing to pay
eight cents per pound, and he immediately
thereafter sold it for seven cents. pocketing
the proceeds. He has been recognized
by some of his victims in Kentucky,
and it is asserted that he has been
identified as the person who served term
IN the Joliet, Illinois, penitentiary. Soon
after his last capture gay young man
named Phelps visited him in prison, and
appeared to be on intimate terms with him.
Wilkinson had previously been searched
and all vsluables seized, but before Phelps
was permitted to leave the building an.
other search was made, and in one of bis
socks was found $4,000. On this discovery
Phelps was held . prisoner ON suspicion,
but he was released on . writ of habeas
corpus, and then he changed his tune, say
ing that the money belonged to him, but
the chief Of police held it. Phelps asserts
that he at first denied owning the currency
because he was badly frightened at the
queer box he was in. Before he left Louis.
vile for his home in Chicago he was called
on to settle little bill of $500. which he
owed in tobacco transaction four yeers
ago to Messrs. Finley, Doll & Co. Phelps
Gays he is manager.of stationery and
