COLFAX has been cured of chills, and test ill en to the fact in a neat little card, which the proprietors of the pills that wrought Ihe cure arc circulating broadcast. There ought to be an allldavit to the fact of the cure.

TIIK Iudianapolifl Journal, in commenting upon tho Htiitoment made by the New Yoik Nation, or aim— we do not know which—that the five great men of the United States Senate were in the order named, Schurz, Thurmail, Sherman, Carpenter and Morton, says: "Four of these are great lawyers and strong men Imt we should like to he informed what Carl Hciiurz has ever done to bo called a great man. He is a good writer, a polished speaker, and plays well on tho piano but we fall to'seo where the greatness comes in." None are BO blind, of course, as those who will not see. If, however, tho Journal would be at pains to inform itself, It would learn that, among Mr. Schurz's acquirements must bo numbered, an intimate acquaintance with tho history and languages of those two great nations of the ancient world—Greece and Rome. With the French language and literature, he is only a little less familiar than he is with that of his native Germany. He speaks English as well as he does German, and that he is a perfect master of the former,probably Morton himself might be willing to confess. With tho history of Germany and its wonderful philosophy, lie is as full as the editors of the Indianapolis Journal are of spleen. His speeches on the Santo Domlugo annexation scheme, and tho French arms question, creatcd an impression throughout the country thathe had at least heard of such a thing as international law. He naay not, and probably does not, know as much about political economy and national finances as the Indianapolis Journal and Cincinnati Enquirer, but it is wonderful what familiarity hisspeechesshow with tho works several impudent fellows who have written upontho subject and gained much applause for their tings, among whom might be mentioned Adam Smith, Kickani, Bostiat, Mill, and in our own country, Perry, Walker and Grosvenor. It may be news to the Indianapolis Journal, hut we have seen the ojflnion expressed by many papers in this country and by not a few across the water that his eulogy on Sumner is one of, if not the grandest funeral oration ever pronounced, and several gifted persons from l'erieles to Houtwell have left on record specimens of their handiwork in that lino. Ills knowledge of music and his line Lisle in its kindred arts of sculpturo and paint ing, may be thrown in for good measure. If Carl Schurz's acquirements and his Senatorial work do not mark him not only as a great man, but as the greatest man in the Senate, we

Illinois Farmers on Finauce. At a meeting, last week, of tho Advising Committee of the Illinois

State

Farmers' Association, at Bloomington, to consider the propriety of forming an independent political party, it was agreed lo hold a State Convention, at Spring Held on the 10th day of Juno to promulgate a platform and nominate State oiflpers. The day tixeil is the same, it will be observed, as that appointed for holding the Farmers' Convention in this State. One of tho best features of the meeting was the all but unanimous voting down of a proposition to censure the President for his veto of tho inflation bill. This was done, although the person who drafted the resolution had attempted to frustrate the action of the committee by coupling the censure of Ihe inflation bill with his signing the infamous increase of salary bill. Tho committee was not, however, to be caught by such a mean trick, but voted the whole thing down. The Illinois farmers are by no means admirers of Grant, and are, so to speak, red-hot in their denunciation of the salary grab, and of all who participated in that high-handed outrage, so that this veto of theirs of (he resolution of censure, shows the depth and sincerity of their oppo&itiou to Ihe "wildcat" inflation scheme. They see, and sec clearly, that this mighty farmers' movement has taken form, as an expression of their discontent at their present condition, during an era of paper curreucy. They see, and see clearly, that the IturdenH of such a system rests upou their shoulders. They see, and see clearly, that the brood of gamblers and speculators who have grown rich upon their industry have beeu enabled to do so by meaus of the unsettling of values, caused through the flood of paper we have already had. They will have no more of it. They do not want inflation. They will not censure a man they are tlisgusted with for bis many sins of omission and commission, because of his stop ping this last iniquity of his political brethren. The farmers of Illinois do not so much want more a9 they waut better mouey. They want a money that will not shrink in value over night, or to preserve the worth of which," they have to stand guard over their Congressmen with clubs. They waut a money whose value is above the reach, and beyond the coutrol of caucusses and conventions, aud the purchasing power of which is the same today as it was "yesterday, and will be to-morrow. They want a money the value of which, being fixed, determined and unchangeable, can be as well known to them as to »uy specula-tively-inclined gentlemen with leisure, and jneans-and a desjre to swindle them if. they can. We are glad the Illinois farmers have put themselves straight upon the record.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that PostmasterBirt, of Boston, ap pears to have embarked his capital in the third term project, and is actively engaged in writing letters and uniug his influence in other ways, principally throughout the South, in favor of Grant's election. Mosby, the Virginia Guerrilla chief, is of a similar opinion, and announces bis purpose of running for Congress this fall, on the platform of Grant for a third term, with Kemper for the second place on the ticket. Grant has certainly done his duty, and redeemed one of Ihe pledges he gave when a candidate, In his veto of the Senate financial bill. To be sure, an honest man in his place, and under the circumstance?, could hardly have done less, but the country has become so accustomed to associate his name with pledges broken, promises unfulfilled, aud faith violated, that it really feels grateful to him for having done his duty in this one case. It fcpeaks volumes, however, in denunciation of his general line of policy, when the country is willing to bestow such high praise as it has given to him, for the mere performance of lite plainest duly, if he thinks that thin lust act of his administration, good as it i.«, will make him President for a third term, he is vastly mistaken, ft takes more than more (ban one good act (o make a man a candidate for Ihe Presidency, especially when that is about tho only good act of his whole administration. The people of tho United Stales are pretty much persuaded that one term for the Presidency is about enough. Be that as it may, however, their opposition to three terms is so vigorous and strong that it Is doubtful whether they would support the angel Gabriel for a third term, though his satauic majesty were his opponent. Grant is not Gabriel. This third term thaddleis utterly without sense, and should be dropped at once.

THE Slate Board of Agriculture has tendered the use of the immense exposition building as a place wherein the 10th of Juno farmers' convention may meet. Tents arc also to be erected for tho accommodation of such of the delegates as may not feel able to incur the expense of stopping at (ho hotels during the two days Ihe convention is expected to he in session. These economical prepara!ions are timely and area good augury of a return to economical government. Men, who, for, reasons of economy, camp out during the session of a convention, having neither the money to pay hotel bills or tho "cheek" to "beat" their way, are not likely lo look with a lenient eye upon extravagance or peculation in high places. Such actiou upon their part at once shows the straights to which they are reduced, and their determination lo live within Iheir means and pay as they go. It Is, moreover, an earnest of their political action. Laudaulets, and $50,000 Presidential salaries salery grabs and Credit Mobillier bargains, grand military inauguration ceremonies, aud Sanborn contracts, aud extravagance and corruption, the fell brood of theso distressful times, will all fare ill at the hands of theso meu. Economy everywhere, and an honest money, which shall not make them the victims and the prey of sharpers and speculators, is what the farmers and tho laboring musses of the people oflndiana need, and it Is what they are likely to get, if the signs of the times do not fail.

ONK of tho stupidest things ever done in the Texas Legislature was to refuse to carry out ihe plighted faith of the State in the matter of the aid promised to tho great railroad lines,

ItS. Dodge, anil other New York capitalist, have been eugaged in con structing. The Legislature has, at lasts, tacitly agreed to make good half its promise, wheroupou the Houston Telegraph makeu a few remarks, which we heartily commend to tho prayerful perusal of those financiers who wish to pay promises lo pay with promises to pay, and get rich by manufacturing paper currency: "A groat mistake has been committed In attempting to repudiate a contract with railroad and financial men, under which they have spent $10,000,000 in Texas for the publicgood. Those men aro men of honor. They have put their money here in good faith, and they aro ontitled to bo treated in good faith, according to the terms ot the contract, and not being so treated, there is reason why thoy receive proposals to put more money here, with a shrug of the shoulder, and permit our financial messengers to woo their servants of tho ante rooiu. There is a reason why there are large stumbling blocks in Wall street. Honor is a groat thing. Tone Is worth more than woalth. The debts of a State are all debts of houor. Honor must not oven be questioned."

TIIK public are anxiously awaiting tho promotion which must inevitably come to Richardson from his chief, now that he has been adjudged incompetent for the position of Secretary of the Treasurery, by the Congressional committee that has been investigating the Sanborn busiuess. To the people at large, who have read the testimony, it appears as if Richardson had prejured himself when he pretended that he knew nothing of the details of the Sauboru contract. That man's lot is hard who has to make himself out a fool to seem not to be a kuave. Fool or knave, however, and one or the other Richardsou certainly is, he hardly seems to be possessed of'those quali Ucations which entitle him either to a Judgeship iu the Court of Claims or a foreign mission, in connection with which places his name i9 prominently mentioned, now that liIs retirement from the Treasury seems to be ttled upon.

Tits Chicago Tribune notices the presence iu that city of a fellow who passes himself off as a correspondent of Ihe Terre Haute GAZKTTB,Ciucin natl Star, etc., and lie receives or seeks to receive special favors iu that character, lie is an impostor aud a dead-beat.

Any person pretending to be a regular correspondent of this paper, who accepts favors of any sort, other than those of common courtesy, may be .set down us an Impostor.

Senator Morton's Conversion. The Indianapolis Journal, of last Saturday, publishes along letter fr6ui Senator Morton, on finances. From its tenor we are led to Infer that the commou belief existing in this section that Oliver differs from the President on financial matters is all a mistake. How Morton ever came to bo regarded as an inflationist, in view of the statements in this letter is a marvel, only a little smaller than that other belief, that he was incensed, and, so to speak, red-hot over the President's veto. Upon the first section of the bill legalizing the .issue of the forty-four million reserve there has always been the greatest unanimity between him aud the President. He was, iu fact, acting in accordance with the wishes of the President when he favored such legislation, that having been a pet theory of the Prcsidcut. He would have slightly preferred that the forty-four millions should necessarily be issued and not left to the discretion of the Secretary, but it was a matter about which he cared little.

As to the second section, authorizing the increase of bank note circulation to the amount of $40,000,000, to bo distributed among the States having leas than their proportion, he knew it contracted the currency, aud be was in favor of it, as nearly as we could make out, and we quote his language, bccau.se "it looked forward to the resumption of specie payments, and was the first step that had been taken ia that direction by Congress." Juat to think how the country has misunderstood Mr. Morton all this time. He is a believer in specie payments again, as he was two years ago, ami all thU horrid nlght-mare of belief, gained from reading what purported to be his speeches, (hat ho was an inflationist of the repudiation, "gold played out" school of Weudell Phillips, is the baseless fabric of an idle dream. All Morton wanted, as he goes on further to state in bis letter, was the re-distribution of the currency, taking away that excess in the East, which through tho speculative spirlf It induced in Wall street last fall, produced the panic, and as the fruitful source of all our financial woe. Jt was not HO much, us has been supposed, that the West had too little currency, but tliat the

had too much an

amount, in fact, which would always cause over-speculation, panics, and ruin. Returning to the subject of specie payments, in the closing paragraphs of his letter the Senator says of the act of 1809, to strengthen the public credit, that he has always belioved in and advocated the doctrine there announced, that "Ihe United States solemnly pledged its faith to make provision at the earliest possible moment for tho redemption of the United States notes in coin." He never doubted the binding lorcc of that pledge, .and the only question, he says, that could ariso In the minds of honest men in re fere nee thereto, was as to the time in which that pledge should be redeemed and promise kept.

and all that specie payments are to be resumed, and that, too, at an early day, and along with the necessary appreciation in value of greenbacks, tho rale of discount will be lowered, money become easier, and long timo loans a possibility at a rate of iuterest lower than they can be now obtained. Reverse the iule, aud inflate the cur* rency, or continue an agitation witli a view of bringing about that result, and the value of greenbacks will depreciate, money will become tighter than It now is, the rate of discounts will be raised, and long-time loans become an impossibility, ex. cept at exorbitant and speculative rates of interest. The reason for this is obvious. A man with a thousand dollars iu greenbacks, with gold at 112, is not likely to loan it out on a year's time, no matter how good Ihe security may be, except at an exorbitant rule of interests. So lung as there is much probability of the legal taaders being inflated (o au extent that shall semi, gold up to 150, or rather, greenbacks down to fifty when his loan falls due, teu per cent, is no inducement to a man likely to lose 38 per eent. by an inflation scheme. Gold may be "played out" as a currency, and greenbacks based U4on, not national wealth, but national debts, and dependiug /or their value upon the legislative action of meu like Morton, Cameron and Logau, may be the ..currency of the future, aud a glorious currency, as Oglesby says, aud all that sort of thing, butsolong as men with money to loan don't think so, and not one of tli cm does believe gold Is "played out," it is useless for borrowers to waste their breath in making the assertion.

It may have been well enough for the old lady who finally bought herself a pot and kettle to establish the rule that she would neither borrow nor lend, but it would have been a bad thing for her during the preceding years of potless and kettleless existence, to have adopted that policy. Her pot luck would uot have been of the best. If the West Is so well supplied with money as to need uo more in the years to come, it might bo induced to try the old lady's plan, but, for a prospective borrower to be advocating a' financial policy which will seare away

the reports published in the wicked Chicago papers of the trial of Prof. Swing for heresy, by Dr. Patton, are true in every particular, the probabilities of the accused being deposed from the ministry, or driven from the Presbyterian denomination, are not what might be called great. His judges, it appears, are largely tinctured with'the belief'that a man may8till be a good Presbyterian, and yet have a lingering suspicion that perhaps the after-life baa had something" "of good in store for the most Godlike of the ancients, that Socrates, through wbote life and spoken philosophy ran such a rich vein of hope and trust in the benilicence of the all-wise Creator. Swing is uot alone either in hia belief that a woman like Penelope who didn't know anything about, because she had never heard of the Hebrew Jehovah and didn't rest her hopes of salvation upon fhe redeeming blood of Jesus of Nazareth, because of ber misfortune of having lived before ever Christ manifested himself iu the flesh, would find to her credit in the heavenly ledger, all her wifely devotion, and true womanliness with never an entry, on the other side, to her damnation to the effect that she did not know the unknowable and worship what had not manifested itself in the dawn of civilization during which hep lot was cast. Swing's judges, too, arealittloshaky, so to speak, on the subject of infant damnation, cherishing a faint hope many of them that iu the eyes of hirn who said, "sutler little children to come unto me," the fact of death having claimed theiu for his own before baptism, or th°ir arrival at years of discretion, will not appear a heinous crime, the only proper punishment for which is eternal damnation. In this we are quoting in substance what the wicked Chicago papers say about tho progress of the trial, and the temper and opinions of the eminent clergymen who have been gathered together to sit in solemn conclave upon the trial of Swing, and from which we infer that he will not probably be found guilty of heresy. The right of the Presbyterian Church to put him outside of the pale of its organization is certainly beyond all question. It riot at all a question of whether Swing is right iu the enunciation of certain doctrines, or whether -the chinch l.t wrong, but altogether one as to whether Swing agiees with the church. If they don't agree, the church ought either to put Swing out or change its confession of faith. A church can't look one way and its ministry another.

HON. DAVID A. WULLS has bt en elected a foreign associate of the French Institute, to fill the vacancy occasioned i«y the deatii of JohnStu art Mill. The coveted honor among literary and scientific men abroad, is for a membership iu the Academy. To be tho successor of John Stuart Mill, is in itself no slight distinction, identified as is his name with some of the most progressive and the purest thought of the country. Among Americans the honor of membership has been of rare occurrence, only three or four, or at tho most, not over half a dozen ever having been elected. .Among them may be named Ben jamiu Franklin, Jacob Thompson—afterward Count Iiumford, and Morse. Mr. Wells has been assigned to the section of the Academy devoted lo tho discussion of political economy. It may be said that great as is this honor, Mr. Wells has fairly earned it by his reports on local taxation, made to the Legis lature of New York, and hisExceedingly uoie reports 10 i.uuguoo trade and tuxes, the high grounds taken by which In favor of free trade caused his removal from the position he held. Mr. Wells is a staunch free trader, and a believer in specie payments, as might have been expected. As a member of the Academy, he is not likely to come in contact with believers in a sectional system of trade aud an exclusively national currency any more than he is likely to meet with believers in a French system of astronomy, a German synlem of chemistry, or an English system of arithmetics or geography. Asylums, not the Acad emy, are believed to be the proper places for the American patented system of getting rich by protection and making paper currency.

TJIEK£ is a Second Advent Church in Jacksonville, Florida, and the pa* tlently waiting members thereof have been grossly slandered, for in this age of bribery and corruption who shall escape the imputation of venality The Second Advenlisls of Jackconville complain that concerning them a grossly scandalous rumor has been circulated. It has been broadly asserted that they have corruptly consented to postpone the matter—wreck aud the world-crush—in consideration of special privileges to bo granted to them by tho Florida Legislature. They deny iu the newspapers that there is a word of truth in the story. They mean to have the catastrophe comeofF on time. There is to be no postponement on account of the weather, or upou any other account. If they don't go up, and if the fire doesn't come down promptly at the hour appointed, it v» ill be from no fault of theirs. Nothing now remains but an "appeal to Congress lo stop the unpleasant fires by a special statute and, considering how few Senators and Representatives are in good condition for the inevitable wear and tear of judgment day, we should think that the bill for the preservation of the world might be put-through upon very reasonable tvrtus.

A Hitherto Unknown Fossil Discovered outbc Shore of Lake Erie. Toledo Correspondence I'liicago Time*.

Mr. Judgo Terrell, an amateur goologist living near Springllold, iu this State, who has for sorno timo beeu engaged in exploring the Huron shale along tho shore of lako Erie, recently socured specimens of a nondescript aiul hitherto unknown sea monsters of tho Devonian period, which will undoubtedly excite much interest in tho geological and zoological circles. Mr. Terrel submitted his specimens to Prof. Newberry, of tho State geological survey, who, after a careful examination, pronounced them of a difleront species from any herototore known, and proposes to call them Dlnicthya Terrclli. From tho not altogether complete description furnished, tho following is condensed:

Tho monster was clad in armor, a thick, massive, bony coat of mail covering all tho vital parts of thoir uppor surface, whilo tho undnr side is protected with plates which, though largo, are relatively thin. It is thought that the posterior portion of tho body must havo been covered with a thick, tough skin no scales or traces of them have been found with tho remains It is also evident that they were cartilaginous, no bonos or thoir internal structure appearing. It is thereforo more difficult to ostimato the size and sbapo of the fish, which Prof. Newberry is not as yet determined upon.

The head is formed of thick, bony plates, strengthened with heavy internal arches, firmly auehylosed togelbor so us to form a kony box two feet squaro and in sonio places three inches thick. Save the Professor, "tho dental apparatus of dinichtyhs is its most romarkable feature. Tho massive jaws are themselves transformed into teeth more formidable than any living fish." These terrible instruments of destruction terminate in chisel-like tooth three inches broad and five inches long, their cutting edge being covcrod with shiuing black enamel. In the rear of theso teeth tho under jaw is formed into a sharp, cutting edge, of black onamel, extending buck onethird its length. A broad upper tooth, with long and thin beveled edge, fits over the lower jaw in such a manner that the two play upon ono another like tho blades of a iir ol'shears. This structure would indicate that the monster was accustomed to prey upon his fellow monsters of tho deep.

One of tbo most curious, as well as the largest, piatesof armor with which the animal is covered, is the dorsal shield, or middle plate of the back. It is 'M inches long, 27 broad, .'I Inches through in its thickest part, and weighs 30 pounds. On its uppor side there is a medium crest, which rises in its highost point above the arch of tbo body about four inchos, which is pro-

of the dorsal shield. Of these plates Mr. Terrell has found 17, all, ho thinks, from tbo same fish, and enough with which in time to dotermine tbesizn of the monster. These remains aro found in the bottom of the Huron sea,embedded in a sediment of what was onco gray mud, but which had eventually hardened into a black, bituminous shale.

A WAIL OF WOE.

A'ii"Orgati Wives Forth Ton of Despair. Kroni the Iudianapolis Journal.

Moralizing over a defeat is usually very easy and sometimes very meaningless. But we presume there will he no difference of opinion this morning for the primo cause for the Waterloo visited upon tho Republican candidates yesterday. The ill-conceived and misdirected zeal ot the so-called temper ance people is at the bottom of tho defeat, and they will havo the satisfactiou of seeing the city government pass into the hands of the pronounced friends of free whisky. We do not propose to upbraid anybody this is a free country, and each ono has tbo indefeasible right to do very nearly as be pleases, provided he infringes upon no law. But we are unable lo look upon the work of yesterday in any other light than as a disgrace and blunder, which may do very considerable harm to our growing and prosperous city. To have all the interests of Indianapolis *pass uuder the coutrol of the Democracy, and to have an era of froo whisky inaugurated, does not seem to be a til onsummation to the agitation of the past winter.

'v Marital Mystery. & From the Ind.Sentinel. About seven months ago Mr. Charles Earl, a livery man ou West Washington stieet, was married to Miss Kelly, daughter of tho well-known real estate operator of that nains. Thoy seemed to enjoy Jifo and each other's Kocioty as much as young married people usually do, and there was nothing in their conduct to exciteany suspicion of unpleasantness in their married life. For some time past Mr. and Mrs. Earl have been boarding at 134 North Pennsylvania street, and yesterday morning the other boarders were astonished to learn that Earl bad taken French leave of his wife the night before. He had sent his wife a note saying that be was about to leave, that he was tired of her, that he never wanted to see ber again, and advised her to get a divorce. The lady did not take his advice, but in company with ber mother and $200 took the first train going in the supposed direction of the fugitive's flight. .a

A BLAST FROM *1111101 IIASl'S HU OLE.

A Slrnuge and Startling Scriiion from a Saint. Krcin the Chicago Inter-Ocean/

Brigham Youug has been talking to some of his Mormon Saints iu language which may rightly be termed puro Saxon. The subject was the non-payment of tithing by the children of the new Zion. They were told that they were "a lot of poor, miserable creatures tending Uabylonward like a mighty flood." Brigham further asserted: "Some of you Will say you are coworkers. I say you lie. The time will cornc when you will say, 'Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and dono many marvelous works and He will say, 'You have acted the fool yet, withal, you aro the best Latter Day Saiuts thcie are.' Boys whose fathers uro good men—men who pay considerable tithing, will go out to Pioohe and driuk whisky, aud shame the Gentiles into profan ity. Then they will come home and are held It) perfect fellowship—pretty good fellows Poor, miserable cusses, not fit for any society."

This is pretty strong language for one claiming to be the "Regeant of the Almighty," aud endowed with a mission to convert the world but the statement is probably correct. These poor saint* only pay about one hundredth part of their tithing, and iu consequence the kingdom at the ba.ce of the Wahsatch range totters to its fall. They are charged witb preferring to keep their money in their pockets ratber than to turu it over to the general treasury for the support of the elders and preachers. If this thing continues it is feared that those in high authority in the community will starve. The Prophet closed his sermon by remarking: "We want to control your time and labors so that we may be able to redeem Zion when the time shall come. Give me money enough and I can buy all the United States. I can buy all the preachers in the United Slates. Give them their bread and butter and they will preach any doctrine. There may be a few honorable exceptions. The priests have no faith iu their religions. We want to organize the people into co-operatl.mH to raise grain, cotton, cattle, and everything that is necessary for our susteuance. We want to manufacture every article tliat Is needed for our own use.

MEMPHIS, MayS.—Tho ReliefC0111miLloo this morning received a largo number of letters and applications for relief from tho overflowed district, particularly from tho lower portion of Arkansas where the destitution is greater and more general. Tho following extracts from letters will givo a good idea of the suffering and destitution there, and will appeal lo tho philanthropic throughout tho land. A well known planter writing from Bernard, Cliecot county, Arkansas, says that there aro needed in that section rations for thousands of persons, and forago for their stock, whoso lands are underwater. The destitution hero wijl bo very great, nesrly every ono in tho overflowed district having lost thtir stock, and having nothing left to aid them iu purchasing tho necessary rations. Theso parties,all require help until they can ralso some corn. Help us all you can. Our peopio aro truly sutiering and unless wo get aid to make at least sonio eorit, this portion of tho country will bo abandoned ly fully one-half tho laborers. A petition from 850 colored laborers from Arkansas City and vicinity, is forwarded by J. W. Dickinson, formerly a cottoa factor hero, which says the undersigned colored people of Arkausns City and neighboring plantations, would respectfully state that wo aro in a desporato eondl-

tton, only a few of us having a frw days' rations, and thoy liuvo been furnished by Iliu owners of plantations, who now havo not enough lelt for their own families, long. Tho water stands as high as four feet above the floors *f many ot our homes. Some of us have had to move out and herd wfih othors as best wo can. Over all tho plantation* tho wafer stauds from throo to 11 vo feet. Tho leveos aro all broken, femes gone, and our stock has boon greatly reduced by drowning and starvation. Our friends, tho white peopio, havo done all thoy could, und can do 110 more. Now wo can seo starvation aud death to many ot us unless the good people will aitf us, and that soon. Mr. Dickenson in forwarding tho petition, say« it does not make the condition as bad as it really is. Some of theso families aro on my placo,and I have been foeding thorn for four mouths, three of whicu they have been cooped up In thoir houses, on platforms, throo foot above their floors, and I cannot feed them any longer, but hope something will bo done for these poor negroes or they will soon stiller. Some of them have not enough left for thoir own families long, and tho others are living on hominy alono or parched corn. On tho other sido of tho river from .whero these letters aro writton there is considerable destitution, but Governor Ames and the other Stato officers are takingsteps to relieve them. In Arkansas, owing to tbo troubled condition of afTairs at the Capital, nothing is being done for them, and thoy are entirely dopoudont 011 tho charities of citizens of other States The relief committco horo is doing good work, but cannot relieve but a small portion of the inundated district.
