WASHINGTON, March 13.-The secretary
OF war has instructed Ma or Suffer, of st.
Louis, to furnish the government steamboats,
available for the transportation of supplies
to the sufferers by the overflow. 1t is the
intention that not only government sup
plies should be carried on these boats, but
any which may be furnished from other
sources, and that they shall assist in the dis
tribution of supplies already Issued to the
State commissioners. Present information
indicates that the stores already issued will
last as follows: At Memphis, for Mississippi,
until the Goth instant; at Memphis, for Ten
nessee, until the 2lst; at Memphis, for Ark
ansas, probably the same; at New Madrid,
for Missouri, until the 31st; at Gayoso prob
ably the same. From Charleston, Mo, the
report is that there is no immediate necessity
for sending more supplies. There is no def
mite reports from Mound City except that the
destitute are supposed to number 5000.
The secretary Of war telegraphed to Gov
ernor McCollum, at Springfield, ILL.,, as fol-
lows: "Townshend, from the Shawneetown
district, has information of great suffering at
and around Shawneetown from floods. 1t
you desire relief sent there please name the
commissioner, and ascertain and advise me

such assistance as possible"

ham, of the United States army, telegrsphs
from Columbus, Ky, that about 500 people
need subsistence, to be distributed from Co
lumbus. II you desire this to be done, and
telegraph the name of a commissioner to
make the distribution at that point, l will
order 10000 rations"
The secretary also sent the following tele-
gram to Commissioners Giles and Scharck,
New Orleans: "The press mt appropriation is
nearly exhausted, so the department cannot
place 100000 rations at your disposal. An
additional appropriation is probable"

BosToN, March 13.-Owing TO insufficient

meeting at the fremont Temple this after

President Newton, of the Theological Semi

the Rt. Rev. DR.. Caper. of Tufts College, and
the Ri. Rev. Bishop Paddock, of the Prot
estant College. Resolutions expressing the
sentiment of the meeting were enthusiastic
cally adopted. They declare that polygamy
is foul crime against our civil laws as
surely as against the health of human So
ciety; that in our judgment each section and
State OF the Union is more or less dishonored
and degraded by the presence and perpetuity
of polygsmous Mormonism in our Western
Territories; that as the government would
ummarily punish this crime if it were found
in the District of Columbia, we can see no
cause for delay in driving it out of the Ter
ritories over which the government holds as
n1osa control

THE QUEENS GRATITUI

MoNDoE, March 13.-A suppleme Mt of the
Gazette says: "The queen has written to Sir
VIM. Harceurt, secretary of state for the
home department, that she wishes, before she
leaves England, to express, from the bottom
OF her heart, how very deeply she is touched
by the outburst of enthusiastic loyalty, af-
fiction and devotion which the painful event
OF the I'd instant called forth from all classes
and from all parts of her empire, as we'll as
by the universal sympathy evinced by SOW
ereigns and people of other nations. The
queen cannot sufficiently express how deeply
she is grateful for these demonstrations.
She wishes to convey to all, from the highest
to the humblest, her warmest and most
heartfelt thanks. The queen says it has
ever been her greatest object to do all
she can for her subjects; to uphold the honor
and glory of her dear country, as well as to
promote the prosperity and happiness of
those over whom she reigned. Those efforts
will be continued INCREASINGLY to the last
hour of her life. The queen thanks God
that He spared her beloved child, who is her
constant and devoted companion, and those
who were with her in the moment of danger,
as we'll as herself. She prays that He will
continue to protect her for her peoples sake,
as He has hitherto 80 visibly,,protected her. J."

The Morst Yat 90 Come.

CINCINNATI, March ia gentlem an who
has just returned from a visit to Texas gives
an account of what he saw of the foods. He
says he travelled a distance of $50 miles 10
accomplish distance of twenty-eight miles
between Madison, Ark, and Memphis. From
Memphis TO Staunton, on the Louisville and
Nashville road, the train plowed through
water foot and half deep for a distance of
thirty-fve miles; there passengers were trans
ferred in skifs. He estimates the loss to the
Memphis and Little Rock road by the food
at 100000, and says an officer of the Louis
vile and Nashville road says the loss to that
road is over 100000. He says the most
terrible of the sufierings by the floods are to
come. When the waters subside the inhab-
itants will not have houses, stock, farm i'm
plements, nor seed to plant. The only alter
native seems to be for them TO leave the
country. The country overlooked has been
estimated to support population of from
SO, 900 to 10000 people.
