The Manchester Examiner, of
August %, has the following:
For the last few days a series OF
violent thunder-storms have visited
parts of South Wales, and in the
billy districts of Glamorganshire
and Monmouthshire a vast amount
of damage has been done by the
unusual extent of the floods. On
Saturday afternoon there we're fresh
thunder-storms accompanied with
an extraordinary fall of rain. The
ordinary roads we're covered to a
depth of several inches, and the
mountain torrents overdowed their
banks everywhere, causing an i'm
mense amount of damage, scores of
houses at Merthyr and Aberdare
being Quilted, and the furniture
swept into the streets or imbedded
in the mud. The most serious ac-
cident happened to a passenger
train on the Great Western Rail.
way, about a mile from the station Of
Merthyr. The line energies from a
tunnel at a spot where a mountain
brook meets it and runs parallel
with it for about 100 yards. The
brook had been much swollen by
the heavy rains, and at the time the
passenger train due at Merthyr al
TAO pm, was in the tunnel, it burst
its banks about sixty yards from
the mouth Of the tunnel, and car
ried away with it a large mass o
earth and stones, which filled thu

aoYERroR rILpEN,s DEFENCE.

The Republican press and ora
tors have rung a thousand changes
on the alleged false income returns
of Governor Tilden in 1862. None
but partisans or the most ignorant
really believe hat Governor Tilden
is a dishonest man, but the leaders
act on the theory that a lie well
told and oft repeated answers as
we'll as the truth. These charges,
while not generally believed, have,
nevertheless, had some effect. We
have expected some kind of an ex-
PLANTATION or defence to come out
sooner or later. The New York
Herald, of the 18th, processes to
have Information that Governor
Tilden will very shortly publish a
Voluminous document in reply to
the defamatory charges. The
line of defence, it is said, will be
that Sin 1861, the period Of the al
legged falsa returns, his two brothers,
Henry and Moses, lately deceased,
were in the chemical ma%nufactur-
ing business in Lebanon, but finan-
cially embarrassed to such a degree
that ruin was inevitable, unless
prompt and ample relief came to
hand. In this crisis Governor Til
den advanced at different dates
large sums Of money, amounting
to several hundred thousand dol
lars, out of his earnings, all or
nearly all of which was lost. This,
he claims, left his income at the
figure given in his sworn statement,
and this is the defence to the
charge of perjury. The document
when published will, of course, be
more voluminous, but it is believed
that the essential points are en-
braced above" When this is out,
let us next hear from Hayes. Very
few thinking people on this cont.
nent believe that either Tilden OIL
Hayes were ever guilty of highway
robbery, murder, arson, bigamy
perjury, demonstrating, or any dis
honorable action inconsistent viii

THE YELLOW FEVER.
Progress Of PIagne al Savannah
Macon TELEGRAPH and Messenger. Ilthl

Progress Of the PIagne az Savannah
Macon Telegraph and Messenger, llth.l
Last night a train brought up
fifteen or twenty passengers, mostly
ladies and children. A large num-
Der left the city in the morning,
bound for points on the road be-
tween Savannah and Macon, and
quite. a crowd left on Sunday eve
ming for points along the Atlantic
and Gulf road. We ascertained
from the passengers that fully one
hundred and sixty new cases were
reported for Saturday and Sunday,
with a record of thirty deaths for
the two days. This is evidently
true, as the News of yesterday
makes the number even higher
thirty-four for the two days. Some
of those with whom we were in
conversation gave us to understand
that the fever is on the increase,
and that the mortality is far more
than represented. This is unwel-
come intelligence, and as will be
seen from the following, is partially
confirmed by the News of yester-
day:
The reports for the last two days,
Saturday and Sunday, are not fa-
yorable, showing hat the fever is
not abating, and that the general
health of the city is very bad. On
Saturday there were II interments,
of which 10 were yellow fever cases,
and Yesterday there were ~ inter
ments, Of which IS were yellow
fever, making the total interments
for two days 81, of which 20 were
yellow fever. The fever appears 70
be gradually making its way from
the eastward, and cases are reportod
as far west as Habersham street
from that part of the city. In TIE
meanwhile it has jumped across
to the western and southwestern
portions of the city, where it seems
at this time to be more fatal than
elsewhere, and is progressing west
ward. Besides this, cases are
scattered throughout the city,
particularly in the section
from South Broad street south
and between Jefferson and West
Broad. We repeat what we have
heretofore said, that those who are
in the city are calm, and that there
is no excitement. There is a great
deal of distress among the poorer
classes, but the efforts Of the Be.
nevolent Association and citizens
generally are doing much to relieve
it. Contributions are being re.
ceived from other places, and they
are gladly accepted. From infor
nation gained by the Beneyolen
Association, it appears that the pre-.
yailing sickness is assuming thu
various miIder types of fever. Rob
ertsville is reported as being yer.
sickly. Our physicians are work
ing bravely in the cause, and man,
of them have but little rest, an
