LETTER FROM UNION.

UNION, S. c., February 12.-There have
been within week two hOmicides commit
ted in this county. One week ago last Sun
day night a difficulty arose between two
negroes living on the plantation of Mr.. II.
G. Whitlock, near Mt. Tabor, in which one
was killed. The negroes claim that the
two quarreled about some money that was
due one by the other; but from what can
gather from the white people living in that
neighborhood, jealousy was at the bottom
of the difficulty, and that it was premedi-
tated by the man and his wife. The other
murder was committed in the northwestern
portion of the county, near the Thomson
gold mine-the slayer and his victim both
colored men-and from what I can learn
the murder was unprovoked.
On Thursday night last, a young colored
man, apparently in perfect health, retired
for his nights rest in fodder loft, and the
next morning he was found dead. The
cause of his death is a mystery-no one as
signing any reason for it.
About two weeks ago, Gen. JOS. T. Gist
left here on visit to relatives in Arkansas.
He spent most of last winter in Helena and
vicinity, and was there during the great
overflow of the Mississippi.
During the past few days Of dry weather
the mud and slush very nearly disappeared
from our streets; but it looks now as if the
heavens were arrayed against us, and that
we are doomed to have the everlasting
again.
One word about the farmers. A great
complaint is heard of the thin stand of wheat
and oats, but more especially about the oats,
from all sections of the county. Where
grain was sown early stands arepretty good;
but the late planted wheat and oats are very
thin, and in many instances it will have to
be replanted this spring with cotton or corn.
Here is what Mr.. J. C. Shettlesworth did
on one-horse farm, last year, in the lower
part of the county. He made on this farm,
16bales of cotton, averaging over 45O pounds
to the bale; 125 bushels corn; 20 bushels
wheat, and small quantity of oats. Now
suppose his cotton averaged only 45Opounds
to the bale, and he sold the crop at an aver
age price of 9! cents per pound, it would
bring 1854. The corn, at Is cents per bush
ell, is worth $S1.75. The wheat at $3.50 is
worth $50. The seedof the cotton crop-400
bushels-at12s centsper bushel, isworth $50;
and the shucks would be worth at least
sl5.25. This would give total of 1861 for
the crop, to say nothing of the oats raised on
the farm. Suppose it cost s46l to make the
crop, $4OO is a handsome income on a one
horse farm. On four-horse farm Mfr. s.
made 571 bales cotton and 400 bushels corn,
besides wheat and oats. NICCoLO.

pumping out the Pearl street cellars to en-
able the merchants to save their goods. The
river this morning invaded house ada
cent to the Supension bridge where unslack-
ed lime was stored along with quantities OF
rOsin. The heat from the lime set the rosin
on fire. Engines have been at work on the
fire all day. 1t continues obstinate but not
violent. On Walnut street up to Fourth en-
tie sidewalks are covered with packages OF
sugar and groceries which have been has
tily removed from the cellars and the work
of removal continues tonight as far as men
can accomplish it. The damage to goods
in cellars on Pearl street is much feared.
The stock yards are flooded and stock
trains cannot move in any direction. All
business will be suspended until after this
danger is past. At about $50 z. M. it was
expected every minute that the gas lights
would be eXtinguished. Only few inch
The belief is now that the rise will not stop
under G3 feet, which would be the highest
on record.
The coal fleets are believed to be safe.
The weather is still warm and the snow is
melting. Occasionally there isa light rain.
Advices from above indicate that the rise
will continue at least tWenty-fOur hours.
The Commercial Gazette's specials report
three inches of rain at Parkersburg and the
river rising. The Little Kanawha is ris-
ingani inch hourly. At Marietta tw0and one
half inches of rain has fallen and the river
is rising slowly. At Portsmouth heavy
rain prevailed for twenty-fOur hours, end
ing at noon to-day. The river is a foot
higher than on Friday night. At Pittsburg
it is raining and the weather is warm. The
snow is melting and the river is rising. AT
Maysville the water is rising two and
halfinches per hour Nnd many business
houses have their cellars flooded.
The damage is not confined to Cincinnati
ii, but extends the whole length of the Ohio
river, while the overflow of other rivers in
Pennsylvania, Western New York and some
of the New England States has caused a pro-
portionate loss in the damage and destruc-
tion of property.
A Cincinnati dispatch of Monday says
that at II o'clock that morning the river had
reached G3 feet inches, and had risen =
inches during the past three hours. Barges
are being run along Second street to relieve
the wants of the people living there. The
current along Front street is so rapid that
navigation is dangerous. The Suspension
bridge cannot be reached at all except by
boats. Newport bridge is also inaccessible
except by boats or wagons. Suffering among
the people in the flooded part is unavoidable,
asno organized efforts have beer made to re-
lieve them, but something must be done
soon or loss Of life is Inevitable.
