,11 ore of III. Irate Flood
Wo copy below from the Nashville Union if-
Dispatch of the 10th
The (act that lit some localities along the line
of the Chattanooga railroad the telegraph poles
are completely submerged, and the wires down,
renders it impoesiblfl tO-geLt'iill particulars or the
- damages resulting from the unprecedented Iresli-
ot. Enough can be gleaned, however, to justify
the assertion that no such floods as tho present
have, within the memory of the oldest inlmbl-
tanf, deluged the country south of us, especially
that portion traversed by tho Nashville & Chat
tanooga railroad. Reports from Bridgeport up
to last evening, represent the Tennessee river at
that point to liavo reached such a height as to be
actually swooping over the bridge. If this im
mense structure should be swept away, it will
require months to replace it, As the bridgo is of
tlie most massive and substantial character, it is
to be Imped it will resist the tremendous pressure
brought against it.
The bridges between Bridgeport and Cliat-
tanooga are nearly all submerged, nnd are kept
in position by heavily laden trains placed on top.
It is thought that there will bo no further damage
to bridges on this road. The report was current
yesterday that tho Chickamauga bridge on the
Western & Atlantic road was in a very unsafe
condition, and fear was entertained that it would
be swept away. With such unprecedented floods,
of course there must bo a groat loss of property.
VVc have not heard of any lives being lost.
The Cumberland hero at Nashville was slowly
on the rise yesterday. It is quite likely, however,
that it will have to commence receding before
noon to-day.
The Mississippi.—An exchange, by yester
day's mail, Bays:
The river at Memphis on tho 7th iust., was up
to the high water mark of 18(12. The levee at
Helena, Arkansas, broke on Tuesday night about
ten o’clock, washing away the lower part of
tho town nnd inundating the wbolo place. The
levees twelve miles below Memphis broke on the
night ot the Oth instant, and the wbolo country
below is inundated.
The Nashville Gazette of the Oth says
While writiuj
f General Seigel nns just arrived trom tlie upper
Cumberland, and the officers report that she laid
3 writing this paragraph (6 o’clock) the
Seigel has just arrived from the upper
land, and tlie officers report that she laid
up at Bulfalo, 108 miles above Nashville on
Thursday night. At that point the river rose
two feet, during tho twelve hours. Captain Dix
reported n great overflow above. Cauey Fork
and Obed’s river are lull, and the mad currents
tof each, like an avalanche, emptying and ming
ling with the waters of the Cumberland. If tlie
rise, therefore, at this point stops short of four
feet more, we will be greatly disappointed.
The backwater is still spreading rapidly, and
on tlie Edgefield side oi the river hut a very
narrow strip of bank is visible, which is growing
small by degrees and beautifully less.
The Phantom, from Evansville, came into
port nearly light. She could not tind a place on
the Ohio to make a landing, and camo up hero
lor a place o( safety. Her commander found tlie
water privileges pretty extensive here.
Passengers at Shawneetown, Illinois, are com
pellcd to board boats in skiffs. The town is in
undated with water.
The Louisville Democrat of the 8th says:
Tlie river continues to rise steadily. It was
coming up yesterday at tlie rate ot three-quarters
of an inch per hour. It is thought it will come
higher than it was tlie last rise we had. The
Kentucky river was rising last yesterday. Busi
ness was rather lively. The weather was cloudy
and moderate. It looked very much like snow
or rain last night.
TnE Stagnation in New Vo me.—A New
York writer says:
The trade of New York isabosolutely paralyzed.
We are now nearly in the midst of what used
to be tho busy season, yet you can walk through
half tho business houses in the city and see two-
tliinls of the salesmen standing idle. In tlie
manufacturing brandies, tlie stagnation is nearly
as great. A great many shops and factories are
running with half, or less than hall the usual
labor, and the streets are crowded with clerks,
mechanics and laboring men out of employment.

track uenr forty years, and although commend
able progress has been made during that period,
the business may ho regarded aastili in its infancy.
.Many enterprises have been commenced without
the necessary capital, and conducted without
sufficient prudence and skill. These having failed,
have exerted in many sections a depressing in
fluence, nnd contributed to lessen public confi
dence in their success. Tlie progress of manu
facturing lias been thus retarded, its develop
ment lias been checked, and many capitalists have
been induced to seek investments in other direc
tions. Still, much lias been accomplished. Even
our failures, disastrous as they have been to in
dividual stockholders, have contributed to warn
others of danger, and pointed out the means of
avoiding It; and for this reason, tlie establish
ments that have survived are probably upon a
sounder footing than they might otherwise have
been.
To Athens belongs the honor of erecting tlie
first cotton factory in. Georgia. This was called
tlie
GEOItOIA FACTORY.
Tlie first building, winch was of wood, was |
erected in 1821), by a joint stock company, on
North Oconee river, four miles from Athens, ami
went into operation in 18:10, with 2,000 spindles
and 20 looms. In May, 1810, it became the
property of Air. John While, the present pro

constant and successful operation, spinning yarns j
from Nos. 5 to 20, ami weaving cotton cloths ae- j
cording to the demand. Connected with the es- |
tahlisliment is a grist and saw mill, in good order.
Tlie water-power is ample, and couid be increas
ed, if necessary. Tlie health of tlie place, as
well as of other factory villages in this vicinity,
is as good as that of any portion of the State.
THE ATHENS FACTORY
Is believed to he the second enterprise of tlie
kind started in tlie State, and is located on tlie
West bank of North Oconee river, in tlie town
of Athens, near a site which imd been used for
a saw and grist-mill, since about tlie year 1800.
It was built in 1802 and 1803, by a Company,
and in 1831 was destroyed by lire. Tlie property
soon alter changed hands ;*tlie Athens Manu
facturing Co. was formed, who erected new build
ings, and in 1830 commenced operations ns a
cotton and wool taetory. The business was con
tinued until November, 1807, at which time the
factory was again burned. It was r built in 1808,
and last year additions were made, increasing its
capacity from 2,000 to 4,000 spindles. Over 70
looms are kept running upon white and colored
cotton goods. The present capital is $02,000,
and employment is given to about 125 opera
tives. There is a superior llouring-mill conm ctid
with the factory, located on tlie opposite side ol
the river. Mr. I!. L. Bloomfield is the present
agent of tlie company.
PRINCETON FACTORY
Is situated on Middle Oconee river, three milts
from Alliens, it was built in 1833- 34, by a
joint stock company, with a capital ot $00,000.
In a tew years, the late William Williams, one
of the.original corporators, became sole pro
prietor. Alter his death it was sold to a Com
pany, and was operated until some time in 1800,
when it was closed. It gave employment to
about 70 hands, in the manufacture of yarns,
shirtings, osnaburgs and stripes The present
capital of tlie company is $04,000,
PIONEER PAPER-MIDI..
This enterprise, the oldest of the kind in tlie
State, was commenced in 1847, by Messrs. Chase
& Linton, and began tlie manufacture of paper
in the spring of 1848. In 1808 it was destroyed
by fire; and alter being rebuilt, was again burn
ed in 1801, and again rebuilt in 1802. It is
situated on Barber's creek, four miles from
Athens, and lor several years lias been the prop
erty of a joint stock Company, witli a capital
of $30,000. It is now in successful operation,

Banks, which has
been going on since Christmas, has depleted them
of half the deposits which they held two months
ago, and the other hall will probably bo with
drawn before May. There is nothing doing in y
any of tlie shipyards; thousands ot able-bodied ' 11
men flock to tlie docks every day, looking lor a
chance to earn a dollar among Hie shipping.—
The demands on private and public charily in
crease daily, and apprehensions of a food pauic
begin to fill the minds ot our flunking men.
Meanwhile tlie reckless majority at Washing
ton goes ahead legislating for party and revenge,
with a sublime indiflerenie to the real interests
of the country.
Uadioal Impudence.—A Tennessee Radicnl
having called on President Johnson a few days
igo to beg for an office, that high functionary
presented tlie mendicant with a copy of tlie fol
lowing resolution, passed by the Brownlow Con
vention last month, of which lie was a prominent
member:
II. “That we cover our faces with shame when
we contemplate the disgrace brought upon our
Jbcloved Stu'e by the 'defection and degeneracy of
Slier unprincipled adopted son, who, by the bullet
lot au assassin, lias ascended to tlie Chief Magis-
jtracy ot l lie nation; and we shall cordially en-
llorse any (ration of Congress which shall lcgiti-
Imutely deprive him of continued power to dis-
|lurb the peace of the country.”
Marine Disaster.—Captain Miller, of tho
steamship Monticello, reports that on Monday
|uight last, at 10 o’clock, while in a thick fog,
about forty miles from Cape Lookout, ran down
Itlie schooner Plimbc, bound from Havana to New
J York, with a cargo ol fruit, striking her in tlie
[foie-rigging and causing her to immediately cap-
Isizo and fill with water. Her captain, Michael
[Morrell, tlie mate, ail of the crew, six in number,
laud two passengers, were rescued ami brought
[to Savannah. ^
Missouri.—A St. Louis dispatch of tlie Dili
says: The Johnson County (Missouri,) Vigilance
Committee yesterday morning hung a desperado
[named Jeff. Collins. He was arrested in a stable
ear tlie depot, attempting to hide from tlie de-
.-ctlves on his track, who had traced him from
Cartliugc, .Missouri, and, as soon as arrested, was
lurued over to tlie tender mercies ol tlie Johnson
pounty Vigilance Committee, who tried and con
demned him to be hung. lie was found sus
pended to a tree, iu close proximity to tho depot.

■Society in Pakis.—A French journal says
kat, at a bail recently given in that city, there
|ere present twenty-eight Frencli people, forty-
English, seventeen American, thirty-six
alian9, sixty-nine Germans, nine Russians, live
Leeks, six Turks, twenty-nine Spaniards, tlirce

■ temerity to admit them, not more than one
leader out of every forty seven will undertake to

comprises one or two fine brick buildings, and
a number of wood dwelling-houses, on the east
side of the river at Athens, erected by Messsrs.
Cook & Brother during the war. The only
portion of the establishment now in operation
is tlie flouring-tnill. Tlie machinery lias been
removed, hut the buildings are adapted to j
almost any kind of manufacture, and it is to he j
hoped they will soon he thus occupied.
ATHENS FOUNDRY AND MACHINE WORKS.
These works arc located iu tlie town of Ath
ens, and are operated by steam power. They
commenced operations in 1807—were burned
in 1863, and rebuilt the same year-*-sincc which
they Imvo been in successful operation. Be
sides an extensive repairing business, these
works mnnulaoture mining and mill machinery,
iron railing, agricultural implements, &c., giv
ing employment to about twenty hands. Cap

THE ATHENS BOBBIN WORKS
are on a small water-course, just out tlie cor
porate limits of the town. They were put in j
operation in 1852, nnd make bobbins and spools,
used by cotton 'and wool factories, and various i
kinds of turned work. Employs eight to ten
hands. Messrs. E. J. McCall A Co., proprie- j

Other manufacturing establishments, in ndja-
j cent counties, might bo enumerated, but X have I
not been able to collect the necessary statistics
in reference fo them. I nin happy to learn,
however, that the readers of the Conet it utionaliM
will shortly tic furnished with this information
through another channel. Tlie whole sub- '
ject is one of deep interest to our people ; for, j
should our now afflicted section ever regain its I
former prosperity, it will he, in a great measure, |
owing to tlie development of its manufacturing j
resources. A. C.
Knotty.—Tlie Springfield (Massachusetts,)
Republican, suggests the following political enig
ma, which some of our friends would do well to I
Solve:
“Congress having declared that no legal Slate |
Governments exist in tlie ton rebel States, has \
the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution,
abolishing slavery, tailed to he adopted ? The !
rebel State Constitutions prohibiting slavery lie- |
ing also null nnd void, does slavery still exist ac
cording to constitution and law 1 If not, why
noty It'Virginia lias no legal Slategoyerninenl,
is the separation of West Virginia front Virginia
null and void, because not assented to by any le
gal government ot Virginia? By wluit right are j
the United Slates courts hold in rebel Stales, us j
it they were Stales in tlie Union, nnd cases taken i
from l hem to the Supreme Court ? There are I
scores of like enigmas to lie asked, and they will
multiply and complicate themselves till legal
skill will in vain seek their solution. We are
tying knots that will have to lie cut.”
An Expensive Luxury.—The labor of the
Protection mountain brought forth a very little
mouse—tlie duty on wool. The result was suffi
cient, however, to give an idea of tho way in
which tariffs benefit the working classes, as the
Tribune contends. As soon ns tlie wool tariff
became a certainty, all tlie proprietors ol woolen
factories in Rhode Island united iu giving notice
to their operatives that the wages ol tlie latter
would he reduced ten per cent. The men, wo
men and children who work in these factories
will accordingly have just one-tenth less money
hereafter with which to pay their living expenses.
“Protection” may be well enough for those wlm
can afford it, hut it is a luxury iu which people
of limited means cannot afford to indulge.—Xetr
