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. — N. Y. Times, lift. [OOMMUXICATKD. ] 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. Uke of the People. [communicated.] 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. Mr. E. H. Pughe: Dear Sir : The following is the dis patch sent from this city, a cope of which 1 procured from the Telegraph Office: “Ararat*, March 4. “Meetings arc being called to consider the recommendations contained in tbe letter of Ex Governor Brown. “Public opinion is divided. The press is agitating the subject, and three or four papors in the State favor the acceptance of tbe policy recommended, but the majority oppose it. “The anxiety in reference to thematteris very great. “iSigned,) Walsh.” My duty as Agent of the Associated Press is to send facts as presented.

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.
