The heroism of woman! how in
fnltely it surpasses that of man.
With all her gentleness, and tender
ness, and natural timidity, in nine
cases in ten, she has more nerve than
the other sex, in times of great emer-
gency. With bleeding and bursting
heart, she is capable of putting on
the composure, and lovely serenity of
an angel, binding up the wounds of
husband or son, and when he is re-
stored to health and vigor, buckling
on his sword anew, and returning him
to the battlefield. Glorious women
OF the South what an ordeal YOU
have passed through, and how hero

Will yet rise up to vindicate you, and

A Remarkable Incident of the War.

Charlottesville Chronicle
A gentleman of our acquaintance
related to us recently an incident of
the war, which was new to us, and is
worthy of record. The farm of a gen
tleman named Mclean constituted a
part of the field upon which the first
battle of Manassas was fought on the
memorable 21st of June, 1861. Be-
lleving that the section of Virginia in
which he resided would be the thea
tire of future conflicts, he concluded
to seek more peaceful location.
where he would not be disturbed by
the tramp of armies and the havoc
of battles, and, after mature deIber-
alton and careful search, decided to
locate in Appomattox county. He sold
his farm, purchased residence at
Appomattox Court House, and remov
ed his family and household effects
to that point, supposing himself to
be secure from the invasion of the
contending hosts. -Four years there
after the remnant OF General Lees
army made their last stand at APP
pomattox Court House, and strange
to say, the articles of surrender we're
drawn up and signed in McLean's
house. He had seen the beginning
and the end of the great conflict.

1t is now probable that the work of con-

The rain storm of Tuesday and Wednesday
water at this point, ten inches in the Will
lamette valley, and from to inches at
points east of the mountains. The streams
throughout the country rose rapidly to UNI
usual height, and carried destruction to
bridges, and farms on the bottoms The
Yamhill river rose 25 feet in "a hours The
Washougal in this county did nearly as
well. All Clarke streams were unusually
high, and damages are considerable. On
the Washougal the old bridge was carried
away, and the new bridge narrowly escaped,
being somewhat damaged by drift wood.
On the Lacamas many farms were flooded,
but no bridges are gone. On Salmon creek
the new Ward bridge is entirely taken out.
The Turnbull bridge is also swept out, as
well as the small bridge at Deitrichs mill.
The new bridge at Wilson's crossing is not
damaged, but 1T escaped because the APP
proaches were not yet completed. The
bridge at Marbles mill was damaged by one
apron being carried away. The mill dams
on Salmon creek were all damaged more or
less, and Marbles mill came near being
washed oat. Halls bridge on Lewis river
is reported as washed out. and some damage
has been done to the new bridge now build
ing at La Center. On all the small creeks
nearly every culvert is gone. In every
stream in the county the water was higher
than ever before known. Repairs will cost
the county and the road districts not less
than $4,000 the coming season. OF the ex-
tent Of damages to private property in this
county we have no reliable advices. For a
week the Columbia river has been higher
than ever known before from rains alone,
being at this point over Is feet above low
water mark. Railroad travel up the river
was interrupted for a week by land slides
and washouts, being resumed on Tuesday.
The Willamette valley railroads were also
badly damaged, more on the east than on
the west side. From all parts of the coast
come the same tidings of high waters and
damages to bridges as in this county, and
on the country streams the high water mark
goes up several notches for future guidance
in improvements.
