What the SuperIateEdent Of the Anchor
Line rHinks Of the SiIuRtLOn.


ST. LOUIS, March 2l.-The steamer W. 2
Halliday from New Orleans, and the Gold
Dust, from Nicksburg, arrived this evening,
aud their passengers gave about the same
account OF the condition of things in the
lower country as given by scores of others,
chara cteriziu9 it AZ terrible. Captain James
O'Neil, an old steamboatman and superin-
tendent Of the Anchor-Line steamers, who
came up from New Orleans ON the Halliday,
took more hopeful view of the sit
uation, however He says that the
danger is all over; in twenty days the water
will be off the land, and 10y April 2Oth the
planters will be at work planting. This
whole thing has been much overdrawn; the
fact is a flood occurs every year. On this
occasion it WAS only a matter of a few inches
more of water The da mage, principally,
consists of loss of fencing and stock. A
small number of mules were lost compared
to oxen. 1t is true that the animals on ;he
mounds and levees are suffering greatly for
food, but hat matter will be remediei. This
extension of government aid Is 4 most
demoralizing thing, and II will be impossible
to get the negroes to work as long a. they
can obtain government food. The fact l.,
the planters are able to take care OF their
own people aad should be allowed to do it.
The Anchor-Ljue steamers have been trans
porting supplies contributed by the mer-
chants OF New Orleans, Memphis and St.
Louis Tree OF charge. The southern boats

per, but thinks that more public spirit, more
enlightened selfshness, more hearty cooper
alton between the different branches OF Eusi-

have prevented Louisville from being with
her advantageous position, all and more
than Cincinnati has attained TO. A similar
need exists il Tennessee. Without public
spirit there is no enterprise.

The Washington Capitol, in its issue OF

'has, in the main, rreiicated his policy, or
perhaps it would be more exact to say his
lack of policy, upon the mental condition of
his editorial advisers for the time being, al
lowing the train-time required by the New

As the New Orleans Times Democrat said
of that city, we say to those Of Memphis,
that, viewed merely from selfish stand
point, every cent of money expended by our
people in the overflowed districts will return
70 this city threefold. 1t would be terrible
blow to our prosperity if the crops OF ths
whole alluvial region OF the Mississippi val
ley, on which we so largely depend, were cut
short; and yet with their lands overtiowedl
their stock drowned, their provisions gone
and their credit crippled, this is greatly to
be feared, unless the people of the country

THE incongruity and absurdity of continu-
ing the titles of the nobility of France is
pressing itself upon the attention Of the
French republicans. They are not recog-
nized in the army or navy, nor by the gov
ernment in its dealings with church digni-
taries. A bishop is no longer "Monseign-
eur;" he is plain Monsieur" If peerage
is extinct the title may not be revived. No
adopted son, like the Marquis de Rocham-
beau, may now rehabilitate a great family
name. Thus, one by one, the stupidities by
which caste was perpetuated, and the Op-
pressions and repressions of the masses were
justified, are being swept away.

ARKANSAS CITY.
River Sill DecEiniaG-EO Actual Suffer.
ing, but Considerable Distress.

LITTLE Rock, March 21.-The Gazette S
Arkansas City special says the slight decline
in the water noticed few days ago still
continues in this immediate vicinity. There
is no actual suffering, but considerable dis
tress. Government rations have been re-
ceived and distributed, and have been the
means of alleviating much distress The
destruction OF live stock throughout Desha
and Chicot counties has been very great. Its
questionable if sufficient work stock is left to
cultivate one in every tenth acre usually IN
cultivation. The reports from Mississippi
are of an exceedingly gloomy character; the
stock not drowned are perishing for want of
food, A severe wind aud rain-storm visited
this section last night. There was no damage
beyond overturniug couple OF small houses.
The inmates were rescued this morning I'M
harmed Iieutenants Satterlee and Richards,
of the Third United States Artillery, after
a thorough and satisfactory examination OF
the condition of the country and people, and
the distribution of government supplies,
left for L,conia. The distress in that por-
ton of the country is reported very great.
Most Of the large plantations which have
been protected by private levees and that
have withstood previous waters have been
oyelilowed. Side levees were built in 1867, g,
and, relying upon their continued efficacy, no
preparation was made for removing stock,
cattle, etc. The destruction in consequence
is very great. Government supplies have
been distributed to the sufferers, but not
sufficient for the relief of one-tenth III dis
tress. Further consiguments are apxiously
looked for
