Advice of northern Democrat*.
The policy of not deserting our con
•ervative friends in the North is con
stantly urged upon the people of the
South, with a hope that some time a
reaction may enable them to overcome
the' Radicals. The following extract
from a letter to the Charleston Cou
rier, giving the Tiews of the New
York World, may be regarded as an
authoritative expression of the judg
ment of the Democratic party of
New York. We have seen a number
of letters from Southern gentlemen, now
residing in New York City, urging upon
their friends here the importance of
prompt action, and the danger of dri
ving the colored people away from their
natural frieuds and protectors into a
mischievous alliance with strangers and
adventurous demagogues. Here is the
extract:
The World goes vigorously to work
to induce the South to take the bull by
the horns. A few days ago the editor
declined to express an opinion about
the course the South should adopt in
view of the enforcement of the Military
Reconstruction bill. But a consultation
among leading Democrats of this city,
has led to a change of the newspaper
policy, and now Mr. Marble has thrown
his whple soul into the battle. Lead
ing editorials lollow each other daily,
begging the South to accept the situa
tion, and as negro suffrage is inevitable,
advising that the whites seek to control
it. Tbe provision in the new law.
which legislates out of office all State
officials who are disqualified by the
third article of the constitutional amend
ment, and provides that the vacancies
shall be filled by new officers, to b«
elected by black as well as white votes,
brings the South face to face at once
with negro suffrage. As there is no
escaping this fact, the World warns the
Southern whites against a course of non
action, lest they speedily behold the
entire machinery of their State and
municipal governments in the hands of
negroes or white radicals. They are
advised to make alliance with the
negroes immediately, for it is assumed
that the true interests of both races in
the Southern States are identical, and
that the tact can be easily demonstrated
to the negro.
The Great Tennessee Flood.
Correct Account by an Eye Witness—Thirty
Seven Persons Drowued —Immense De
struction of Property.
We are indebted to J. A. Signaigo,
Fsq., late of tbe Memphis Appeal, for
the following interesting particulars of
tbe recent disastrous and apaliiug flood
in and around Chattanooga:
On Thursday, the 7th, the passenger
train-on the Memphis and Charleston
Road, stopped at Stevenson, on account
of the high water in the creeks and
rivers between that point and Chatta
nooga. Taking a construction train,
Mr. S. and a few others came down to
the Lookout bridge, from which they
walked along the railroad to the Crutch
field bouse, the water, in many places,
being nearly two feet deep ou the track.
The rain was pouring down in torrents,
and the river was out ot its banks, and
rising rapidly. On Friday morning the
water had reached the back of the
Crutchfield bouse; by noon the house
was surrounded ; and in the afternoon,
our informant, not fancying its water
privileges, took his departure in a
batteau, for the more elevated domicil
of Mr. Rollins, formerly of this City.
This retreat afforded a fine point from
which to take observations; and the
scene throughout the city became ter
ribly interesting and exciting. During
the night boats and rafts were plying in
every direction, filled with anxious peo
ple escaping from the raging waters;
loot by foot the murky tide overspread
the lower story of all the houses in
Market street, and throughout the ave
nues which lie between the hills border
ing the city, anxious faces were peering
out like spectres from the second story
windows, and moans of agony and af
fright made the long night truly hide
ous.
On Saturday morning the water was
half way up the first story of the Crutch
field House, and it continued to rise
until Monday eveniug, when it had
reached fifty two feet above low water
mark, and was up to the second floor of
the above hotel.
During all ibis time every store in the
city was under water, and the distress
for food was a general subject of appre
hension. The opportunity for plunder
was promptly seized by the lawless per
sous about the city, and by Sunday noon
hundreds of boats and rails were en
gaged in the nefarious work. To prevent
plunder and to preserve order, martial
law was declared on Sunday and, by
evening, every boat was seized, aud none
were to run without a special
permit. A special police was detailed,
to preserve order, aud rations were
issued to the poor by the May or on one
side of the river, and by the military on
the other.
On Monday morning a whiskey shop
was opened under a tent, where those
wbn were dissatisfied, with the quality
of the water, could alleviate their thirst.
This was soon followed by a Yankee
notion shop,
During the day, a large bacon ware
house—-owner unknown to our inlormaut
—swotiig around and was swept into the
river. A small steamer made its ap
pearance on Monday.
The most ludicrous, as well as most
touching scenes, were presented on
every baud doting these trying days aud i
terrible nights. Wholt famiUea on the
roots of houses, wailing to bo removed
to a place of aafety-gay parties of
young people in boats sailing about
!itr«ras^sßsC:
aud confusiou s«! rein everywhere.
The Da% tmimm office waa aab
merged, and for two or three days no
paper was issued.
On Tueeday, a party of four, consist
ing of Mr. Signaigo, Mr. Hightower, of
Alabama, Mr. Jones, of LaGrange, and
Mr. F. N. Graves, of Marietta, having
built a rsde boat, polled out for Mis
sionary Ridge. When they left, tbe
water t ad fallen about a foot and a half,
but still covered the whole business part
of the city to the depth of five to ten
feet. After a perilous trip, they reached
the foot of the mountain, walked over
tha battle ground of Misaion Ridge
t> Roseville and Chickanauga; and
from thence to Lee k Gordon's Mills.
Here they hired a wagon, which convey
ed them a few miles, from whence,
after some delay at swollen creeks, they
reached Ringgold on Wednesday morn
ing. The next day, the trains being
suspended on the road, they proceeded
to Dalton on foot, having walked since
laaviug Stevenson, about 75 miles, in
cluding the several miles of navigation
in the frail boat in which they left the
unfortunate city.
The flood is the most extensive and
destructive ever known, the river having
reached fifty two feet above low water
mark.
Our informant estimates the damage
at Chattanooga at fully $500,000. The
loss along tbe valley farms is immense,
many plantations beiug swept of stock
aud provisions, as well as out buildings
and fences. Large quantities of corn,
in warehouses ana at river landings, are
swept away.
So for as he could bear, thirty seven
persons were drowned in and around
Chattanooga, and the amount of want
and suffering is truly heart-rending.
The Prospects of the Southern
States—Necessity for Action
We have not the slightest intention of
advising the people of the South what
to do in this crisis of their fate. We
have left that line of business. Advising
anybody on any subject is among the
most hazardous of human undertakings:
but advising the South, touching its
political welfare, is a labor of love which
no one will be likely to undertake twice.
If you echo their wishes and their in
tentions, yuu are quite certain to con
tribute to their ruin and insure your
own ; if you resist them, von are branded
not only as an enemy but as a traitor
also.
Bat it is impossible to see, without
regret, tbe steady persistence of the
South in a course of action which can
not possibly fail to aggravate all their
sufferings, and plunge them deeper and
deeper in social and political humilia
tion. They cling, like drowning meu,
to the merest straws, not from necessity,
but because they believe they will float
thgm ashore. A year ago Congress of
fered them restoration on the adoption
of the Constitutional Amendment. They
rejected the offer with scorn and con
tempt. This year Congress renews tho
offer, but requires universal negro suf
frage in addition, and imposes military
rule upon them meantime. T.iey are
likely to reject thU also—partly because
they think nothing worse can follow its
rejection, and partly because they rely
upon getting relief from some quarter
or other.
We do not wonder that they deem the
terms required harsh and illiberal. We
agree in so regarding them. We
deem them unjust and inexpedient—at
war with the Constitution and hostile to
the dictates of a wise and considerate
statesmanship. But how does this help
their case? Suppose the terms imposed
are unconstitutional: how does the
South expect to avert their imposition ?
Has it not discovered that, whatever the
right may be. the power of this Govern
ment rests with Congress ? That body
overrules alike the vetoes of the Presi
dent, and the decisions of the Supreme
Court; and in neither case is there any
authority that can overrule its authority
or avert its action. The Mobile Regis
ter finds ground to hope in the logic of
the President’s veto; but what logic
can withstand a majority of three fourths
in each branch of Congress ? The
President, it declares, will stand
firm :” of what possible use will that be,
so long as he stands alone? But tbe
Supreme Court will annul this act of
Congress. Possibly it may—when it
reaches it two years hence, though the
chauces are that before that time a
majority of the Court will confer with
Congress. But meantime what is to
become of Southern States—of Southern
society, industry, and civil institutions?
Does tbe Reyister suppose tha* Congress
will stand still, until all the results it
foresees are brought to pass ? Is it
likely to await theaetionof the Supreme
Court, and the convenience of the
Southern States ?
The real purpose of the extreme men
in Congress is to deprive all who took
part in the rebellion of the right to vote,
and to give the blacks and loyal whites
full and exclusive possession of political
power in the Southern States. The
Louisiana bill embodied this purpose
and passed the House by a large
majority. Just as surely as the South
rejects the terms now offered, will that
bill be reenacted. These conditions
may seem harsh, bat those are harsher.
These may be unjust, humiliating,
repugnant to every sentiment of social
pride and self respect —but those are
more so ; and if these are rejected, in
the spirit and temper brought to tbeir
discussion by those who are urging
resistance to them, nothing, in our
judgment, can save the South from the
utmost rigor of the Louisiana bill, with
Sumner's amendments and Stevens’
confiscation acts appended thereto.
We are sorry to learn from the letter
of our Georgia correspondent, which we
publish this morning, that Gov. Brown’s
advice commands but little assent among
the people of that State. It is the
advice of practical wisdom. It comes
from a man who is not too old or too
dull to profit by experience, and who
appreciates the folly of resisting what is
inevitable. His speech, which we pub.
lish yesterday, embodies more oi
sound common sense than has been
brought to bear upon Southern politics
for the last quarter 6t .a century. The
chance of its being followed affords the
uniy glimpse ol daylight We have seen
in the Southern sky since the rebelliou
was overthrown.
The paramount necessity of the South
ern Stales is place and participation iu
the National Government. They need
a voice and voles in the National Coun
cils. So luug aa they are denied repre
sentationi they cau not have either. They
■ * neither help themselves nor
can others help them. They can
??L t!" 1)6 hcard on their own be
.j. . ? c * n neither utter their wants,
vindicate them interests, refute the false
hood. told about them, nor even set
lorth the necessities whieh surround
them. They are m everv respect voice
less and powerlew,—subject wholly aud
without appeal to tbe abeolute will and
pleasure of the dominant majority in
Congress. They certainly have nothing
to gain, and nothing to hope, so long as
they remain in this position. Tho sooner
they get out of it—by whatever means
and oo whsteve* terms—the better for
themselves and the country at large.
Their fate is again in their own hands.
What they will decide upon remains to
be seen. But they will make a great
mistake if they expect to gsiu anything
by resisting the will of the Government
already expressed, or by standing still
and doing nothing. They will very soon
find that, if they don’t act, others will.

Municipal Affairs.
Mr. Editor :—it is rnmored on the
streets that an attempt is being made
by a few old fogy politicians, who, seeing
tbe hand writing on tbe wall, are trying
to thwart the wilt of the people, and
continue their own dictation for a few
days longer, to get up a caucus for the
selection of candidates at the comirg
Cty election. This beautiful schei e
was lately tried, but it seems that the
Ignominious failure in which their ef
forts resulted, has taught them no sense,
and that they still imagine they can
hocus the people, and accomplish their
selfish purposes. For years we ha e
submitted to this sort of thing, ami
allowed a set of schemers to direct us
how to vote, but the time has at last
come when we propose to take the mat
ter into our own hands, and assert what
little right still remains to us.
We don’t intend to be cursed or per
suaded into the support of any man or
measure for the benefit of any clique,
and we shall mind the bellowing ot tbe
Bulls of Bashau no more than we would
the cooing of doves. We have discov
ered that total irremediable ruin awaits
us under the existing state ot City
affairs. Business is prostrated ; men are
being turned out of employment ; the
arm of industry is paralyzed, and all the
while the taxes are increasing, our
money is squandered, and the ery is
“ give I give I” We demand a change,
for of one thing we are absolutely cer
tain. no change can he for the worse.
We mean to have our rights recog
nized. We scoff at, and scorn the puny
action of secret cabals and hidden meet
ingß to control us, no matter by whom
they may be gotten up.

Telegraphic Error.
We find .the following despatch in the
New York Sun :
Ausvsta, Ga., Man-h. 4
Meetings are being called to consider the
recommendations ot Gov. Brown. Public
opinion is divided; three-fourths of tbe
papers are in favor of the acceptance; but
the majority of the people are strongly op
posed to it.
We presume this dispatch should
have read three or four papers—instead
of three-fourths—though that was short
of tbe number, as nearly a dozen papers
of the State favor the recommdalion of
the Governor, and we believe that a
large majority of the people also em
brace it, and are anxious for prompt
action— Daily Press 14i/t.

“Public opinion is divided. The press

WILCOX, GIBBS <s CO S
MANIPULATED GUANO!
This article is being by us at our place of business
in this City, where we invite Planters and others interested ti call and examine our
stock, and witness the preparation of tbe above named MANURE. It is composed
entirely of pure and unadulterated GUANOS (of which 25 per cent of the whole mixture
is warranted to be pure No. 1 Peruvian Guano), and we warrant each and every package
of it to contain tbe exact ingredients aud same proportions as the sample analyzed by
Prof. Shepard, whose analysis and report we annex, as follows:
Charleston, S. C., February 16th, 1867.
Meter*. Wilcox, Gibb 9 d m Cos::
Gentlemen : The following is my analysis and report upon the sample you have
placed in my hands, of Wilcox, Gibbs <fc Co.’s Manipulated Guano :
Hygrometrie water..., * 18.60
Combined water and organic matter rich in ammoniac&l salts IS.OO
Phosphate of lime 44.50
C rbonate of lime I.SO
Insoluble silieiotis matter, with considerable traces of per oxide of iron 15.80
Chloride of sodinm, sulphates of ammonia, lime, aud soda, with loss 1.30
100.00
The present sample shows a very advantageous mixture. It has enough of Peruvian
Guano (say 25 per cent.) for any soil or crop ; while the great bulk of the preparation
is obviously an unadulterated natural Gusdo, rich in organic matter, with considerable
already formed Ammonia (and the material for its continued production as required by
the crop), together with 44.50 per cent, of Phosphate of Lime, nearly two per cent, of
which is in a soluble state. If kept up to the standard of this sample, there is no hazard in
predicting that lands treated with 250 or 300 pounds of it to the acre, will be placed in
an effective condition for any crop.
Very respectfully, yours, CHARLES UPHAM SHEPARD.
Knowing the composition, as well as judging from the analysis and report of Prof.
Shepard, we are confident it will prove to be an excellent MANURE, and pay any
Planter handsomely who uses it judiciously. We would recommend the use of 175 to 200
pounds per acre for Cotton or Corn ; 250 to 300 pounds for Wheat, and that it be applied
the same as other Guanos—under the bed for Cotton, in the bill for Corn, and broadcast
tor Wheat. This Guano is ready for use, all the lumps having been thoroughly ground,
and the whole passed through a seive before packing, and it is a very handsome article
in appearance and condition. It is packed in barrels of about 300 pounds, and bags of
2CO pounds, and the price will be uniform, as follows : $65 per Ton of 2,000 pounds,
Cash.
Our Agents will sell at tbe same price, with rimrriiFw i M>ensos added.
We are now prepared to deliver this Guano in suit, and solicit orders
for the same, which will be promptly filled.
We will also keep, both here and in Savannah, a good supply of Pure No. 1
PERUVIAN GUANO, which will be sold at the market price; also, Pure No. 1
PHCENIX GUANO, at $55 per Ton of 2,000 pounds, in Savauuah, or S6O here—Cash.
All orders should be addressed to us at AUGUSTA, GA.
