RIvER-The Tennessee and Cum
berland have both been rising rapidly
for the past three days, and are srill
swelling. They lack only fifteen feet of
being to the highest point known. The
Ohio is falling ut all points, but so slow :
ly that it amounts to stand. The Mis-
sissippi and Missouri are again falling
very slowly. The river is at a critical
stage, aud slight overflow is certainly
imminent, and if this wet, murky weather
continues it may not be so slight or brief
With fair, fine weather, however, it will
rapidly pass off. At this point, yesterday,
the river rose inches.

session last week in Boston No
wonder our Southern Methodist have
failed to effect perfect re union with
these New Englanders. This New
England Conference always dabbles
strongly in politics, aud this year its
resolutions were voted amid storm
of applause. They are opposed to
Hayes peace policy. The preamble
to the resolutions reviews the blighring
effects of slavery, and the two final
resolutions are as follows:
Resolced, That we are alarmed and filled
with apprehension for the future when
we contemplate the practical sale Of one
of the great political parties of the Re
public by two politicians of that party
who have held and now hold very init
mate relations to the President thus sac
riicing principle and party and right
eousness for the sake of temporary sue
cess.
Resoiced, That we protest most earnestly
against she action of the new Administra-
tion in making terms with the Chief of
the Ku- klux, and instigator of the Ham
burg massacre, NJ G. Butler and still
more earnestly DO we protest against Of
fetal recognition by the Administration
of that arch enemy Of the republic who
long since ought to have been hung for
treason, Wade Hampton. of South Caro-
lima. and who now by thrents and intimi-
dation under the very roof Of the White
House, as well as on railroad platforms
and in other public places. deties the
power of the Government aud bullies the
President into a compliance with his
traitorous and wicked usurpations.
