Business and Wentber North. Correspondence of the Express. Oshkobh, Wis, Feb. 28.

The writer wrote you one year ago from here, about as follows: "From the Sanny South to the ice bound regions of the North but not bo now, as the weather is warm and considerably damp, as the rain has been falling for. the past fifteen hours. No snow, no ice, no logs, no lumber, and a big boom in prices for what logs and lumber there are on hand. The supply in this market and its tributaries will certainly be short, at beat fifty per cent. to what it was last year. Manufacturers of sash, doors blinds and general building material are still looking for a further advance in prices. The warm weather and the last day of February would certainly argue that the winter is over with mast of people, but not so with the writer, as he landed here on the 17th day of March last year, and for b!x weeks following passed

through the severest portion of

winter. However, as the weather was then so generally cold all over the country, and this winter is so generally mild, it is hardly possible for us to have muck cold weatker duting March.

There is but little expectation here for much business during the coming season, on account of the scarcity of logs and lumber, two important items that usually tend to improve a general and brisk trade in Oihkoah. Traveler.

Eugene Duenweg, yesterday purchased for his beer wagon, one of the handsomest span of iron gray horses ever seen on our streets. They were bought of Joseph H. Schofield, a farmer living nine miles east of the city on the Bloomington road, the price paid being $275. In a few minute] after closing the bargain, Mr. Duenweg was offered $350 for the team.

Brazil Enterprise: A. Mayer, of Terre Haute, shipped two car loads of beer to Brazil one day last week. In the event of a prolonged cessation from work, there is nothing so good to fall back on as beer. It is meat and drink to Bome, And is a cash luxury, while bread and groceries are to be procured on time.

RAILWAY WHS. Wm

Current Items in Bailroad Circles—Local and General.

The Vandalia moved 235 cars of coal on Wedneeday. E. E. Hooper, travelling freight agent of the C. & E. I, was in the city yesterday.

The Evaosville and -Henderson transfer is working in good order, after the recent flood in the Ohio.

TheVandalia is fast recovering from the effects of the flood, and the freight business is booming. Oa WedOtsday 539 car loads were received and forwarded at this point.

The Wabash has pulled out of the Ucion Railway deiective association at Indianapolis. Colonel^ Hill, of the Vandalia, also declines being one of the number.

J. Q. Van Winkle, trainmaster of the I. & St. L., notifies all conductors that they will be held personally responsible for any trouble which may arise from the blocking up of street crossings or roads.

Roadmaster Ragon, of the western division of the I. & St. L., was in the city yesterday. He added a new crew of six workmen to the present yard force, whoee duties are to consist in keeping the yards clean and in good shape.

James AverilJ, Vandalia ysrdmajter at Indianapolis, hss made a pen and ink sketch of the roads centeriog at that place, and which has been placed in the office of N. K. Elliott, in this city. The outline of the Belt road .is shown, and the points of crossing the other roads accurately located.

It is slated that twenty-five -hundred brakemen are killed every year by being crushed by cars. The Railway Commission of Massachusetts states officially that there is

DO

such thing as a safe

coupler. Here is certainly room for invention, in the interest of human life as well aa property. *1

The articles and Agreement of consolidation of the Toledo, Delphos and Burlington. the Frankfort, St. Louie and Toledo, the Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis railroads, under the name of the Toledo, Cincinnati snd St. Louis railroad, with a capital stock of $15,000,000, were filed with the secretary of state Wednesday.

The Rhode Island Locomotive Works Company, Providence, Rhode Island, have about decided to pull up Btakes and move West. At the present time J. A. Dargin, superintendent cf the works, is in Chicago prospecting, and will report on his return upon the advisability of removing to that city. The establishment has a capacity of turning out locomotives at the rate of one every twentv-fonr hours.

Among the improvements in progress on the Logan diTOion of the Vandalia is the raising of the grade, straightening of the track and erection of anew bridge at Wildcat creek, near Cutler's. The grade is being raised eight feet, and the long curve at that place will.be straightened. The new grade, including the ap proaches, will be eight hundred feet in length, one hundred and fifty feet of trestle work being also measured in this.

SOME OTHER SEASON.

The prospectB look rather small for the erection of anew Union depot at Indianapolis this season. In addition to the somewhat doubtful outlook for railroad business the officials have found that the property they must'have to carry out their plans for the new Union depot would coat, if they paid the prices asked, some $300,000 more than they had expectedit would. These officials were anxious anew depot should be built there, but felt somewhat discouraged as regards lh6 projects.

VANDALIA CAR MOVEMENT. During the month of February the Vandalia moved on the main line a total of 20,511 loaded cars, and cn the Logan division 1,999—a daily average on the former of 732J, and on the Logan of 71 3-7. This is a falling off on the main lice of 3,422, aa compared with the movement for January, and on the T. H. & L. a falling off of 332. This is not remarkable, however, when it is considered that for fully seven days—or one fourth of the month—freight business on the west end was practically at a stand still on account of the washout*. The coal movement in February was 4,547 cars, a reduction of 1,164 as ccmparcd with the same movement for January.

A GOOD THING. •,

An infirmary, hospital and home for superannuated railroad men is talked of at Indianapolis. A committee been appointed to see upon what terms twenty or twenty-five acres of ground can be secured as a favorable location for such an institution, and to confer with architects as to the cost of suitable buildings for such purposes. It is proposed to purchase the ground and erect the buildings with contributions from the railroad companies, and after the infirmary, hospital snd home is opened, to support it by voir untary contributions frop ^c^als and railroad employes or mak' "^nt of twenty-five cents per mou.£ and ten cents on employes npon the roau» which are included in the organization.

By Associated Press J»TO A WASHOUT. Ogsesbubg, March 2.—An engine and baggage oar of a passenger train on the Ogdensburg & Lake Champlain road ran into a wash-out to-day, killing James Chambers, engineer, and Henry Petrie, fireman. The express messenger and baggageman were badly injured. No passengers hurt.

MISSOUBI AND THE H. ST. JO.

St. Louis, March 2.—Attorney General Mclntyre received a telegram at Jefferson City, yesterday, from Cel. Easley at Hannibal, notifying him of the intention of the Hannibal & St. Jce railroad corppany to file an amended bill in equity in the United States Court. The State fund Commissioners held a meeting at Jefl'eraon City yeeterday, which was secret. It is understood, however, that the Hannibal & St. Joe bond matter was discussed, and it is rumored that the Governor, sb the result, addressed a letter to Mr. Root, counsel for the company, that unless a proposition is made for the payment of the January interest he will advocate sell the -road, considering that all other oatside issues were measures to delay the re&l issue. division of traffic

New York, March 2.—The joint executive committee of the eastern and western railroads met again to-day. and decided that a division of the traffic shall be made from the principal cities in the west, and that it shall not inolude terminal lines but also connections to trunk lines that general freight agents of each road upon which traffic originates will be held strictly responsible for the maintenance of rates, and that nobody elae shall have power to make rates except general freight agents." This litter claus9 is agreed upon in order to concentrate the rate-fixing power upon some responsible officer of the road. A joint agent shall be appointed at all points where any division of traffic is made, and al! lines or soliciting agents shall be subject'to the direction of the joint agents, instead of being «ubject to each line, as heretofore. No rebate or drawback voucher shall be paid that hss the eiiect of giving a lower rate.to one shipper than to his competitoi: no time contracts shall be made under any circumstances all existing time contracts shall be abrogated, and division of passenger traffic shall be made between Western roads on the same plan aa that existing between the trunk lines.

FATAL DERAILMENT.

CiNeiHNATA, March 2.—A Titnw-

Star Parkenburg, West Virgina, special nays: The west bound train on the Baltimore & Ohio road, last oigbt, ran upon stone nt the toll gate, throwing all the cars except the sleeper from the track. The engine ran into the store of Geo. W. James, and the store and train, except the sleeper, burned. John Gigley and John Bremer, engineer and fireman, were instantly killed. Both were of Grafton. The mail and expraae matter waa mostly saved. James' lose is $5,000 insured.

Wheeling, W. Va., March 2.—A special to the Intelligencer says: A terrible accident occurred on the Baltimore A Ohio Railroad about 10 o'clock last night, at Tollgate, a station abont halfway between Parkersburg and Grafton. The west bound express ran into a big rock that had tumbled from the hillside, which threw the engine frum the track and plunged it into a store near the track aod through several barrels of oil standing on the platform at the depot. The boiiir exploded, completely wrecking the eneine. The oil caught fire and the railroad office, Geo. James' store, two passenger cars, one mail and one baggage car were burned. The engineer, John Gatley, and the fireman, John Brewer, courageously stock to^ their posts. The former was instantly killed by the boiler explosion, and the latter was so seriously injured that he lived but an hour or two. The passengers escaped without injury, and travel was not seriously delaed.

OBITUARY.

MRS. MABY C. CAMPBELL.

Mrs. Mary C. Campbell, widow of the late John P. Campbell, of Crawfordsville, died Tuesday afternoon at her residence in Crawforasville, surrounded by her family and friends. The deceased was the second daughter of the late Stephen S. and Sarah Collett, of Vermillion county, and was a sister of'Hons. John and Josephus Collett and of Mrs. Jane Turner and Mrs. Clara C. Fairbanks, of this city, and of Mrs. Ellen Jonee, Mrs. Emily L. Davis and Mr. Stephen S. Collett, of Newport. She waa a woman of ereat ferce of character, but it was a lorce admirably tempered by true womanly refinement. Intellectually she waa richly endowed by nature, and her culture was commensurate with her natural endowments. During her girlhood she was Well and carefully educated, and the good habits of study formed in girlhood continued with her through life. She adorned every circle in which she moved, whether literary, scientific or otherwise, and there was that in her mien and manners that stamped her as no ordinary person. Inthefiill bloom of h*r womanhood she was remarkably good looking, and it would be no exaggeration to say of her that, at that period, "Grace was in-all her steps heaven In her eye In ev'ry gesture, dignity and love."

She distinguished herself during the late war as an active member of the Indiana Sanitary Commission,, and multitudes of weary, wounded, dying soldiers blessed her for her kind thoughtfulness and her womanly bravery in doing and daring for their comfort. Like her distinguished brother, John, she devoted all her spare hours to the study of literature and natural science, and in geology and its cognate sciences she was almost a master. She was a friend to the students ot Wabash College, and her hand was always extended to help those who were in need of help. At the age of eighteen she became the wife of Mr. John P. Campbell, of Crawfordsville, whom she survived about six years. She leaves three children—Heniy, Collett and Minnie. She was a member of the Presbyterian church from girlhood to the time of her death. R.

H. express, No. 1, south bound, was running rapidly about three miles south of Vincennes, some miscreant threw a large Btone through one of the windows of the parlor car, which fortunately struck yo person. As soon as possible Conductor Jim Baker, who was in charge,stopped the train, and although search waB made for the persdn who threw the stone, he succeeded in making his escape. If two or three of these stone throwers would receive a Judge Lynch verdict it might prove of beneficial effect to otberB of the same CIsbb. j,

ST

THE WAB OF 1812-

An Interesting Idle of I%at tint, Owned by B. Van Valaah. When the sale of the personal effects of ex-President Millard Fillmore waa made, a friend of R. Van Valzahparchased and seat to him a copy of the Weekly A uror a, a paper published in Philiulelphia,

Tuesday, September 1, 1812. Mr. Van Valzih has the relic in his office in- the Opera House block,and anExprees reporter waa permitted to examine it yesterday. The paper has eight pages, about ten inches by fourteen in Biz*, with three columns to the page, and there is no material difference between its typography and that of the present day.

A paragraph informs the readbra that a requisition for 2,000 of the militia quota of the State of Pennsylvania has been made by Major General Dear borne, and that the supposition is that this detachment will move from the western counties, on account of the greater fitness of the militia in that quarter for the duties of their destination.

The sensational in journalism was in full force in that, day, to judge from an editorial item, to wit: "The fertility of invention in the article of news has been more' than usually productive in the present season the tinee has afforded an unprecedented crop of lies, and rumors and illusions, destitute of plausibility and yet they nave been gulped down wiUi an appetite as voracious and undiscriminating sb that c&the hog." From the tone of this it if safe to judge that the Aurora has been "scooped" by some lively 009 temporary.

Sectional jealousy waa alive then as well as now, as is evidenced by an extract from the Pennsylvania Republican in reply to the Boston Weekly Messenger's statement that "the northern states almost exclusively fought the battles of our revolution, and established the independence of our republic." The editor remarks in answer: "With the aid of southern troops Boston was retaken, Quebec was stormed and Burgoyne was captured, but did any eastern troops show their faces at Germantown, Fort Washington, at Cowpens, Eutaw Springs or at the glorious aeige of Yorktown, or did a single New England company during the whole war, appear south or west of the Delaware?"

Under the head "Progress of the War," is published an extract of a letter from an officer in General Hull's army, dated Sandwich, Upper Canada, July 21, 1812, which contains the information that the militia are continually deserting the English and joining the American^, as many as fifty coming over in one night. An extract from another letter states that two British vessels loaded withAmerican prisoners were captured at Detroit A letter from Fort Wsyne, under date of July 20, conveys the news that Little Turtle, the .noted Indian chief, died at his camp near that city on July 4th, and was buried on the 16th, with the honors of war.

An extract from a New Orleans letter, of July 26,1812, states that the Spaniards have demanded the surrender of the town of Baton Rouge, from the Governor of New Orleans and that ths Creek Nation has declared war against the United States.

A list of the vessels captured from the British since the declaration of war is pablished, also a list of the American privateers which sailed from the different ports during July. Among the prizes was the British brig, Peter Waldo, vessel and cargo valued at $100,000, and the British ship Royal Bounty, 700 tons, captured by the privateer Yankee, of Rhode Island, after an engagement of forty minutes, in which the British captain, both mates, two or three seamen were wounded, and a boy killed, the Yankee suffering the loss of two seamen.

The latest foreign intelligence is that Bonaparte arrived at Konningsberg on June 13th from Dantzic, and reviswsd his Polish troopp that Joseph Bonaparte and all the French *t Madrid will evacuate that city and retire northward, and that tbe French will evacuate Spain during tbe campaign against Russia. Lisbon papers of June 22d convey the intelligence that Lord Wellington entered Salamanca on June 13th.

In themiscellany is published an extract from the Boston Patriot, the editors of which are addressed as follow*: "I wish to be informed through tbe medium of your paper whether ParEon Gardiner, rector of Trinity church in this town, did or did not, in his sermon of yesterday strongly advocate a separation of the Union? and whether he did not enjoia it upon his hearers as a duty? and whether he did not say that the consequence of such a separation would be the making of Old England and New England a great and happy nation." The card is signed by "A Federalist."

One noticeable peculiarity of the paper is the most entire absence of advertising—infact there is but one advertisement, and that of a book entitled, "Trvels in the United States of America and a Upper Canada,and in Great Britain and Ireland," by John Melish, price, five dollars.

Death of Jsnics McLaughlin. James McLaughlin, the small pox patient at the pest house, died at neon yesterday, after great suffering and was buried last ni^ht. McLaughlin's relatives live near Altoons, Pa., and he has a brother in the saloon business at Indianapolis.

Morgan Boone was fined $11.80 for wife beating, yesterday, in Justice Steinmehl'e court James Coffee was fined $2 and oosts for drunkenness, and Henry Fisher, colored, employe at the National house, was fined $11.50 for provoke on Sarah Hillis. The offense consisted in an indecent proposal.

We would like to give our friend John Rusk, proprietor of tbe New Atlantic b»rber shop, a good send off, but don't know how to do it better than by telling everybody to call and see him in his new and handsomely decorated shop, at 669 Main street, when wanting anything done in the tonsorial line.

Why didn't Captain Smith wear a'uniform last night while drilling the B. B.? An Oicar Wilde costume and a duHing cap would have given him a picturesque appearance aod added eclat to the occasion.

Cy Stephenson, the successful East Main street restauranteur, will open a branch establishment to-day, in tbe room recently occupied by John Rusk, as a barber shop, on Main street near Seventh.

An unfeeling wretch suggested last night during the broom drill that the only way to test the courage of the brigade would be to turn a mouse loose on the floor in front of them.

TERRIBLE STATE OP AFFAIRS. Memphis, March 2.—A private letter from Riverton, Miss., one hundred sad fifty miles below Memphis and one hundred and seventy-four riffles above Vicksburg, says: Hie levee broke Monday night loss of property is fearful. Some people were drowned, among the number was Ben Heyne, shipping cleak for Frank A Reinach. He tried to go to the assistance of Mrs. Brsdshaw and was drawn int* the channel of the break and di owned. Tbe stock is all drowned a&d there is no provision for the poor people to subsist on. The break oocuned about one hundred yards above Duncan's. We have sent to Terrine for the steamer Plow Boy to come and take the women and children to Memphis. They are suffering greatly, having lost everything they possessed. The clothing they have on their bodies is the only property they saved. It is impossible to describe the fearful havoc ana destruction the waters have made. Besides the break at Riverton there are two more one at Wrights, one mile below, and another at Judge Miles place, two miles below Riverton. Mules, horses, cows, goats and houses pass by continually. Add to these tbe falling, crushing timber and you then have the faintest idea of the condition of things. In Duncan's house there must be no less than twenty-five women and children and a good many more are huddled together on levees. It is pitiful to sec them, half naked, frozen and hungry. Every house in Riverton except Duncan's and Frank Bienachs has either floated off or is so damaged by the washing away of blocks that they will be unfit for habitation when the waters decline. The levee in front of Duncan's house is weak and there is danger of its breaking. The store house of Max Miller, together with his stock of goods, floated off and was lost.

A letter from Sol Cohen, at Concordia, Miss., twenty miles below Riverton, says: Tbe levee at Blackburn's broke Tuesday morning and" the water is over Concoruia. The break is through Blanch ard's place. People are building scaffolds to take cue of stock. The river ragg three inches there in twenty-four hours.

New Orleans, March 2.—Noire reaches here of terrible destruction of property by the breaking of the levee at Carson's Lauding. After the heavy rain and wind storm of Tuesday a gap of seyenty-five feet waa first made by the rushing water,, asd one hundred yards of (he lefee were soon swept away. The noise of the roaring flood awoke the sleeping citizens, who, looking out of their bouses, saw the river rapidly spreading, over the country. Without taking time to clothe themselves the peopls fled for their lives. Ben. Haines, keeper of the landing, and two negroes, were overwhelmed ia the rushing waters. Their cries for help were heartrending. Many people had narrow escapes from drowning.

In the vicinity of Bolivar, two hundred and fifty yards of levee gave way, and between Catfish Point ana Mound Landing, a distance of six miles, the levee has broken in four places. In Arkansas City the water covers the floor of every store and dwelling from six inches to four feet Water covers the floor of the hotel to a depth of twenty inches. Tbe new oil mills are great sufferers. Many planters are feeding their hands, fearing the movement to furnish rations tvill demoralize the negroes. Many negroes are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the boat with Government rations. Boats are moving persons and property free where the people are too poor to pay for the service.

The Picayune's Greenville, Miss., special says: The levee system cn the Bolivar county front is a general wreck. A high wave ef water is now inundating the whole of Bolivar and Washington counties, except a ribbon of land on the west bank of Deer Creek, from |Fish Lake to the Sharke couoty line, and the plantation's immediately on tbe river,

Chicago, March 2.—The secretary of the State Board of Health at a meeting in this city to-day, stated that the small poX had almost disappeared in this State «&tside of Chicago, and orged on ths board the necessity of national legislation to prohibit the laading of emigrants who cannot show certificate of vaccination. The diseaae is disappearing in Chicago,, aod is confined to emigrants. Health Commissoser Dewolf and Comptroller Guearney, .of Chicago, will leave 'for Washington tbit week, to urge upon Congress the necessity of such legislation se

2 A—Greenville,

Miss., special says.- There was a perfect wreck of the Bolivar levee yesterday morning, the Riverton Wade, Clay and Badgat levees broke through and the Concordia levee is reported broken the day before. These breaks will overflow every plantation in Bolivar county. The river fell here four inches last night and is still falling rapidly. The Bolivar breaks will probably save the levees of Washington and Issaquena, but the loss to the district levees alone is not less than $150,000. Clay and Badgat are the largest levees in the district except the Hushpuckana. Several lives were lost. Rosedale, the county seat of Bolivar, is six feet under water. The Ledger office and other houses were washed away. Clarke's front levee on Lake Bulah is gone. This overflows what was left of Bolivar county. The Williams bayou leveejthis county, is broken. All northern Washington and the back lands throughout Issaquera and Sharkey will go under. A number of people were drowned at Overton.

LATER.

In addition to the breaks above stated was one at Hughes' front, between Wade and Clark's. The accounts of suffering and loss of life continue to oome in and exceed anything that ever attended previous Mississippi river inundations. These crevasses are all above Greenville.
