The Flood In Upper Eatt Tonneeaee.
Following will bo found somo interesting in
formation in regard to the great flood in East
Tennessee, complied fh>m the Knoxville Com-
mercuil of the 6tb, 8th, 10th and 12th, for copies
of which wo are indebted to our friend W. T.
Ncwntat), Esq., of Atlanta:
[From the Commercial of the eth]
The Flood,—Wo are now in the midat oi a
terrible flood. The waters are upon us, and still
continue to como! The valoablo bridge across
the Uolslon has been swept away, and not a
vestige can now be seen to indicate that such a
structure ever stood. Tho rain continues to fall,
and at present writing, 8 p. m., there is no. indi
cation that it will cei’s. Tiiu waler has now
reaebedThe highest water mark known to the
stream, if our information is correct. The tur
bid waters go rushing - by, bearing on Us surfaco
fences, bridges, remnants of buildings, and every
conceivable floating substance that comes in its
way. The damage to the country must be im
mense, and it the waters do not rcccdo, before
many hours, Park’s steam saw mill, and John
Coker’s mill, and Williams’ old warehouse, with
all tho buildings on the bank, will be swept
away.
Later.—The rain continues to fall, and is
falling in torrents, and the river rapidly rising.
The water is higher than ever before known,
and thunder and lightning are blazing and
booming from tho dark, heavy clouds that hang
over us. It Is gloomy indeed.
Should the weather clear now, the river must
continue to rise at least for the next twenty-four
hours, and to what point it will reach, and what
! damage will bo done betore It is over, we cannot
: divine. Truly, we are in the midst of a terrible
flood.
[From tbe Commercial, of the 8th.]
Tub Okeat Flood.—March came upon us all
I smiling. Tho sky was clear and bright—the
3un's rays were warm and genial; the air was
pure and bracing, and the first day ol March was
strictly the loveliest aud most agreeable of the
season, and take the day all in all, wo could but
exclaim in the language of the poet:
*• The glorious inn
Stay* in hla course and playa the Alcbjmlst,
Turning with iplendor of hli precious eye
The meagre, cloddy earth to glittering gold I”
And then the very air of spring seemed upon us.
The earth was green with the new blades of
grass, and tho first buds ot spring were swelling
on the branches of the trees, and we could al
most feel Milton’s May morning, which
term or * jiKumoa.

Tbe Selma Messenger gives tlio peoplo of its
section the following sensible advice t
1. To farmers—plant coru. There may be no
market, within our reach, lor cotton next tall aud
winter, and, If lliere is a market the currency
may be worthless. Moreover, cotton will invito
confiscation, for those who would persecute us
to the bitter end, crush us beneath tho iron liecl
of power, oppress us to the doath, are, of all
others, those who would be tempted by well-
filled gin houses. Corn and meat will not be
half so alluring—there is plenty of both in the
North. With bread and meat, whatever comes,
we will have the means ot sustaining life. We
can’t eat cotton. Be quiet, peat
. , , . ... ,-prud
just in _alL-deaHngn-wilh negroes, and—plant
fSrn !
2. To merchants and business men—contract
liabilities, lessen credits, reduce stocks, quit deal
ing in tho “luxuries,” and keep a good con
science.
8. To lawyers—do not encourage litigation,
counsel compromises, explain the laws and urge
obedience to them as a duty, and, as politicians,;
be moderate conservative, and firm.
4. To ail men—be calm, patient, law-abiding,
temperate in expression, promptly render unto
Ctcsnr tbe tilings that are Ctesar’s, frown down
the disorderly, the violent, the rash and reckless,
and leave the consequences with God.
Napoleon and ms Family.—The Spring-
field Republican's Paris correspondent writes
of the Emperor Napoleoo, his wile and son :
“Last Sabbath, in the garden ot the Tuileries,
I had my first view of the Emperor; a stout,
comely, well built gentleman, with an inquisi
tive face and eyes which seem always to he
looking at sometliing a good way off. Years
do not seem to have told unkindly upon him,
and lie anpenrs certainly to be in the best ol
health. I believe thnt tho rumor that ho is
failing is entirely without foundation. He, with
the Empress, was in his private carriage, enjoy
ing the flue weather. The crowd of lookers-on
were quite republican in their manners, and
only one or two old men took oil their hats.
Tlie little Prince Imperial, who I saw a short
time after, has a pretty lace, with no signs of
character yet moulded into it, and to my thiuk-
ing, if his lather’s mantle fall on him even twen
ty years later, it will quite overwhelm him. But
one is never sure how these Napoleons will
develop. Tho Empress, in lull toilet aud
in her carriage, where distance lends enchant
ment to the view, is a very pretty woman, and
certainly looks far from growing old. Her
dress, O, ladies was blue—blue as the gentian,
and her bonnet, 0 charm of charms, was not a
bonnet, but a bit of lace with delicato blue rib
bons. At the ceremony of the opening of the
legislative session yesterday, in the grand salleof
the Louvre, Eugenio wore a robe of white satin
literally strewn with pearls.”
uienram my ureaamg ;
doth boeat thy bleeetng 1”
But this was of short duration. On the night of
tlie 2d, storms came and—and such storms:
“ I have seen tempeata where tbe scolding winds
Have riv’d tbe knotty oaks, and I bare seen
The ambitions ocean swell, rage and foam
To be exalted with the threatening clonda;
But never 'till to-night—never 'till now
Did I go through a tern peat dropp'ng fire.'’
All will well remember that the rains fell in
torrents, the lightnings flashed, and the thunders
clashed, and from Saturday, Saturday night;
Sunday and Sunday night; Monday and .Monday
night; Tuesday and Tuesday night; Wednesday
and Wednesday night, up to Thursday morning,
the rain continued to fall, and tbe floods continue
to follow. Up to present writing, 12, M., Thurs
day, the water is now eight feet and soven inches
higher than ever before known to the oldest resi
dents of Knoxville, and still rapidly rising.
We have just returned from a two hour’s trip
around tlie city. It is not over-estimating tho
loss to say that one-half a million ot dollars will
not cover tlie lose sustained by tlie people of
East Tennessee. Wo have already learned of
over four hundred thousand bushels of coru that
liavu been washed away, and from Williams’ Is
land his entire stock of cattle have been lost.—
The old warehouse, filled with valuable pro[>crty
attached to Parks’ mill, has been swept awuy.
Two o'clock, P. M.—The water is now reported
forty-two feet above low water and nino feet
above high water mark, or that much higher
than ever known. Tlie old feed store, near the
slaughter house, has floated away. Mr. Oobsou’s
house lias also gone, and Mr. Cheatham’s new
house, situated iu tlie rear of the McPhcrsou
house, 1ms also gone.
Four o'clock, P. M.—At this time, the water ap
parently has reached its highest poiut, as for tho
past thirty-five minutes there has been no per
ceptible advance. The main building ot John
Coker's mill is still standing. The old Williams
warehouse is also left with us, aud the Parks
mill still reiiiaius. First creek, whicli passes
through the town from tlie ruilroad to the river,
Inis been very much swolleu, hut the principal
damage lias resulted from the tmek water of tho
IloUton river. The Main street bridge was
riiscd up and floated from its bearings, and tlie
timbers were saved by bringing them ashore.—
The Cumberland street bridge, which is covered,
was saved by removing the planks aud allowing
the water to have full play, and as there was no
current it was not ^otherwise injured. Second
, presented a very
uni mated appearance. The East Tennessee
University students kept a boat there lor the use
of themselves and other passers by. Several
buildings in this vicinity wero submerged to tlie
second story windows.
Tlie raiu’lias ceased, and we now trust we
have seen the woreL Nearly every fnmily living
on the streets near the river, have been sufltrers
to a great or less extent The amount of dam
age, at this time, cannot be estimated. A large
numlicr of families have been rendered homeless
Tor the present, nnd a portion linve lost their
homes by their beiug carried away by tlie flood.
The water stands at this time, ten feet and seven
inches higher than known to the oldest inhabi
tant.

Wanted.—The Investigator says :
The great want ot this ago is men. Men who
are not for sale. Men who are honest, sound
from center to circumicrencc, true to the heart’s
core. Men who will condemn wrong in friend
or foe, in themselves ns well as iu others. Men
whose consciences nre steady as tlie needle to
the pole. Men who will stand for tho right if
tbe heavens totter nnd tlie earth reels. Men
who can tell the truth and look the devil right
in the eye. Men that neither brag uor run. Men
that neither flag or flinch. Men who can have
courage without whistling for it, and joy without
shouting to bring it. Men iu whom the currcut
of everlasting life runs still, and deep, and
strong. Men too large for sectarian limits, and
too strong for sectarian bauds. Men who do
not strive, nor cause their voices to be heard in
the streets, but who will not fail nor be discour
aged, till judgment be set in the earth. Meu
who know their message nnd tell it. Men who
kuow their duty and do it. Men wliq know
their place nnd All it. Men who mind their own
business. Meu who will not lie. Meu who are
not loo lazy to work, uor too proud to bo poor.
Men who are willing to eat what they have
earned, and wear what they have.paid for.
Swearing Sumner.—A radical paper says of
Sumner’s last oath, prepared lor tlie reconstruct
ed rebels, that it is certainly tlie most wonderful
tliiDg which lias been gotten up since tlie first
Egyptian dynasty. It not only compels every
rebel to swear to the indissolubility of tlie repub
lic; he must not only swear by the national debt
nnd forswear slavery; he (the rebel) must not
only swear to “ resist ” or rebel against “ all laws
makiug distinction on account ol race or coior;”
but, to cap the climax, Mr. Sumner’s oath pre
scribes that the rebels shall swear to “ support
education and the diffusion of knowledge in
public schools open to all.” The idea of getting
a people to swear that they will do such things
as these, and the idea that historical institutions
are formed by oaths of this style, are as ridicu
lous notions as ever entered the brain of tlie

Tennessee & Virginia Hoad. Trains hitherward
were ordered to atop at Jonesboro’ on Wednes
day night, aud the telegraph line being down,
the orders could not be countermanded. Presi
dent Brunner aud Superintendent Uoxie led at 1
p. m., yesterday, determined to bring trains
through it it could be done with safely to pas
sengers.
No serious damage is known to have occurred
aul the only bridge threatened is believed to be
that oi Flat Creek, which is perfectly safe as yet.
rhe detentions of trains are simply the result of
vise precautions on the part of the managers ot
lie road, for which the traveling public should
gue saiety.
[From the Commercial of the 10th )
We have Just returned from a trip around tlie

[From the Commercial ol th* 13th.]
We learn from the engineers of the Knoxville
Charleston Railroad that, Iroin tire calculations
they have made, tire water in the Holslon river
*e forty-three feet and five inches above low
ster mark, and, that jt stood, at that time, eight
nndrtd and titty feet nbdve the level of the Bea.
ill our citizens know the apparent bight ot the
tone piers for the railroad bridge across the
Jolalon. The water, at one time; was two feet
od live inches above the top of them. The
ater commenced falling at 4i o’clock, p. m., on
slurday.
We learn that the only serious damage done
’ the East Tennessee & Virginia road is the 1 >ss
f four spans of tire Strawberry Plains bridge
nil tlie Flat Creek bridge. Aside from this tlie
amage is easily repaired. And unless the wen-
proves very stormy these damages will be
red and tlie trains running regularly again

The Trial of Mil Davis.—A Washington
letter states that Chief Justice Chase was called
on a few evenings since by an old and intimate
friend residing in the South. During the course
oi conversation tlie subject turned upon Jeffer
son Davis, aud Mr. Chase took occasion to say
that in bis opinion “the longer tlie trial ol Davis |
was delayed tlie better it would be for the pris
oner.” He also remarked that legislation has as
yet done nothing to prepare tlie way for bringing
Davis into court, and that the Military hill lately
passed, contained the objections he had hereto
fore advanced aguinst holding a court for the ar
raignment of the prisoner.

Impeachment.—Forney's great argument
agaiuat the President and upon which he de
mands that he shall be impeached, is that he
bus been guilty ol restoring captured, or stolen
property to late rebels. This is an unpardona
ble offense in the eyes of such men as Johu For
ney and Ben. Butler.
Pleasure.—Pleasure, says Mr. Beecher, is
the means by which a busy man rests himself.—
A man that has nothing to do has no right to
pleasure. To a man that lias too much to do
pleasure is a duty. Mr. Beecher is going on a
pleasure excursion to the Holy Land, next sum
