Dignity of Labor" In postscript the
writer stated to Mr.. Lincoln that he intend
ed to confer with Republican editorial
friends in the several sections of the state
with view of bringing his name forward

Pickett, Esq.-MY DEAR SIR: Yours of
the 18th is just received. My engagements
are such that cannot at very early day
visit Rock Island to deliver lecture, or
for any other object. = -7g..s
As to the other matter you kindly men,

myself fit for the presidency. I am GER
tainly fiattered and gratiied that some Of
my friends think of me in that connection,
but really think it best for our cause that
no concerted effort such as you suggest
should be made. Yours very truly.

wallis and the other for an entirely new build

two of those for new building are in excess of

THE SPRING FLOODS.

Minnesota, Iowa, Dakota, Wisconsin and ILL.,
nois Afflicted With Surplus of Water.
In Minnesota, though the rains have not yet
come, all the streams are full to overHowing,
but not much damage is reported, save to the
railroads The Minnesota river is still rising,
and the flats everywhere are overAowed. In
many places not only mail but railroad commu-
roads are almost impossible. On the Winona
& St Peter railroad the country is
represented ss one vast lake Of water, under
the influence Of the recent mild weather. The
same may be said of the western sections of the
Hastings Dakota.
The Redriver Valley, from Breckenridge to the
British line is submerged in many places The
braIoh lline:. of :thessMan toba road from Breck-
enridge to Barnesvllle is under water From
Breckenridge to Hermann there is perfect sea
Of water. The Bois de Sioux and Otter Tail
rivers, that form the Red river, are bank full,
and great dang r is expected as soon as the ice
starts to move down the Red river and gorge
and flood everything. On the Manitoba be-
twee n Glyndon and Crookston. the track is un-
der water. As said before not much damage is
yet reported, and probabably the waters will
soon subside, unless rain sets in
WISCONSIN.
In Wisconsin, the flood is the most serious
since 1854, and the damage is likely to be very
great A vast amount Of water has reached
Milwaukee, carrying along many bridges, and
flooding ali the lower parts Of the city. Half
Of the Rock river bridge at Watertown was car
ried away by the running ice, A bridge at
Manitowoc was Carried away. Railroad tracks
on the roads entering Madison are partially
submerged, although not enough to sop the
moving of the trains. Similar reports come
from all portions of the state. --.s..s-.,-..-..
ILLINoIS.
The Rock riverin Illinois and Wisconsin is
higher than ever known before AT Rockford
all dwellings, on Loomis, Montague, Wall, Nor
gan and Knowlton streets are flooded, the water
in many cases running into their windows.
Some people have been forced to leave their
homes What Ia said of Rockford will apply to
all the towns on the river. An Elgin QL) spe-
cial says: Tie railroad track is four feet under
water q trains cannot pass over itinside Of ten
days. The bridges are badly demoralized here
and at Dundee. The damage in Kane county is
$3n0 600 but it 10 thought that the river can
not rise much higher, and the worst Of the
flood is over. The damage in Elgin yesterday
afternoon aggregated $3.50, 900 to 500, 900.
The chief items were: The breaking of the Ell
gin Hydraulic company's dam and race banks,
