The whole plan of reconstruction is now piaffe and we can sec what is before us. The follow ing we clip from the Chronicle dc Bent in el, in re lation to this bill: ‘•lt will be seen that thin bill, which we pub lished in our telegraphic culumns yesterday, thorites the military commander* in thesevetH di-trict* to cause a registration of ail the voter* in each Btate not disfranchised by tho original bill, on or before the lut of Heptetnbrr 'thirty day* after tho r*gDtrntioti is completed the military commander is authorized and requir ed to order an election for members of a Mato convention. In this Bute such convention will be compos do* the same number ol didcgstyp from each county ns they now have representa tives in tho Legislature. The convention can be defeated by a majority of the voters, by placing upon their hullot* “against a convention" But if the con vent held, and agree upon n constitution, nucb insira merit must be submitted to the people for appfft \ al or disapproval. Th«no Mia the main features of the bill, and dcr its provision* the people of Georgia w*rlrf»T culled upon at no distant day to act in the prem ises.

The Cvn*titutional\»t confines its remarks on this Bill to some incidents us the debate in tin- Senate. The tax returns of last year show a majority of 2l,obowhito vote** over black vu ers in tbe State of Georgia. The uuotber of disfranchised whites i* not probably equal to the number qt blacks of voting age who have left the State since last fall, so if all on'both sides vote, there r* mains yet a largo majority of white* in the State.

T. New man, Esq., of Atlanta: — Chron. dt Sentinel, fuz Flood. —WV are now in the midst of a terrible flood. The waters are upon us, and still Continue to come ! The valuable bridge across the Holstoo has been swept away, and not a vest ige now can be seen to indicate that such a struc ture ever stood. The rain continues to fall, and •at writing, 3 p. m., there is no indication that it will The water has now reached the highest water mark known to the stream, if our information is correct. The turbid waters go rushing by, bearing on its surface fences, bridges, retnnauts of building*, aat I every con eeivable floating substance that comes in the way. The damage to the country must be im mense, ami if the waters do not recede, before many hoars, I'arks’ steam saw mill and John Co ker’s mill, ami Williams* old warehouse, with all the buildings on the bank, will be swept away. Later. — Hie rain continues to fall, and ia fall ing in torrents, and the river rapidly rising. Tlie water is Higher than ever before known, and thunder and lightning are blazing and booming from the dark, heavy clouds that bang over us. It is gloomy, indeed. /Should the weather clear now, the river must continue to rise at lea-t for the neat- twenty-four hours, and to what point it will reach, and what damage will be done before it is over, we cannot divine. Truly, we ere in the midst of a terrible flood.— Commercial, sth. The Great Flood.— March came in on us all etui Sing. The sky was clear and bright—the sou's rays we e warm and genial; the air was pure and bracing, nod the first day of March was strictly the loveliest and most agreeable of the season, and take the day, all in all, we could but exclaim iu tne language of the poet : "Theglorious sun Stays in hUconnwi and plays die Alchymist, 'rui ning with splendor of his precious eye The meugro, cloddy earth to glittering gold T And then the very air of spriiig seemed upsn us. The earth was green with the new "‘blade* of gras*, < nd the first bud* of spring were swelling on the branches of the trees, and we could almost feel Milton’s May morning, which “Uaill beauteous May, that doth inspire, Mirth,youth and warm desire. Woods snd groves are of thy dressing; Hill and dale doth boa t thy blessing !’ Hut this was of short duration. On the bight of the 2d, storms came and—and such storms: “I have seen tempests where the scolding winds Have riv’d the knotty oaks, and 1 have seen The ambitious ocean swell, ruga and foam To be exalted with the threatening floods ; Butn :ver ’till to night—never ’till now Dili 1 go through a tempest dropping fire." All will well remember that the rains fell in torrents, the lightning flashed, and the thunders clashed, aud from Sat urday, Saturday night; Sun day and Sunday night, Monday and Monday night, Tuesday and Tuesday night, Wednesday and Wednesday night, up to Thursday morning, the rain continued to foil, and the flood* contin ue to follow. Up to present writing, 12 M., Thursday, the water is now eight feet and seven inches higher than over before known to the old est resident* of Knoxville, and still rapidly rising. H e have just returned from a two hour’s trip Around the city It is not overestimating the loss to say that vine half a million of dollars will not cover the loss sustained by tho people of Kact Tennessee. We have already learned of over four hundred thousand bushels of com that have been washed away, .»nd from IFilliamsMsl nnd his entire stock of cattle have been lost. The old warehouse, fill- and with valuable property,at tached to Falks’ Mill, has U-eu swept away. Two o'clock T M —The water is now report ed forty two feet above low water aud nine feet above high water mark, or that much higher known. Th-- tjtl f.-ed ««ar the slaughter house, has floated away. Mr Dob son's hou«e has also gone, and Mr. Cheatham's new house, situated ri the rear oft he McPherson house, has aim* gone. Tour o'clock l*. AT. —At this time the water apparently has reached its highest point, n» for the past thirty-five minutes there has been no perceptible advance. The mai.i buihiingof John Coker’s mill i* still standing. The old Wi'lianis warehouse is also left with u», and the Parks mill still remains. Fir*t creek, which passes through the town from the railroad to the river,has been very much swollen, but the prim ipid damage has resulted from the back water of the Hofoton riv er. The Main street bridge was raised up and floated from it* bearings, and the timbers were saved by bringing them a-hore. The Cumber land street bridge, which is covered vvns saved by removing the planks and allowing the water to have fu'l play, and ns there was on current it was not otherwise injured. Second cieck at the foot of Main street, presented a very animated appearance. The Fast Tennessee University stu dent* kept u bout there for the use of themselves and other passers by. Several buildings in this vicinity were submerged to the second story windows. The ruin ha* ceased, and vre now trust we have seen the worst. Nearly every family living on the streets near the river, have been rufferers to u greater or lea* extent The amount of dam age, at this time, cm not be estimated A large number of families have been rendered homeless for the pre-cut ami » portion have lost their homes by their being carried nway b> the flood. The water stands nt this time ten feet and a* veu inches higher than known to the oldest inhabit ant. Trains left here as usual on yesterday on the E.Tennessee it Virginia road. Train* hither ward were ordered to stop at Jonesboro on Wednesday night, ami the telegraph line being do An, the orders could not he countermanded.— President Brunner and Superintendent tiexieleft at 1. p. ra..yesterday, determined to bring trains through if it coulu be done with safety to the passengers. No-erious damage is known to have occurred and the only bridge threatened is believed to lie that of Flat Creek, which ri perfectly safe as yet. The detentions of trains are simply the result of wise precautions on the part of the managers of the road, lor which the traveling public should argue safety. —Commercial of the 8/A We have just returned from a trip around the (own The water is receding far more rapidly than it came upon us. We find many families in h destitute condition, without either supplies or reaily means, ami probably with but little credit. They wil now be compelled to seek aid from there who are to fortunate as to have something to give. Let all be generous who can. We learn that a span of the Strawberry Plains bridge arrived Jjer© about 2 o’clock yesterday, evidently on the way somewhere on its pwn ac count. The thing was taken in charge by some of our enterprising boatmen, and they will prob ahh get n liberal reward fr>m the railroad com pany for its detention. —Commercial of the 10/A lUelearufrom the engineers of the Knoxville Charleston Railroad that from the calculations they have made, the water in the Holston river rose forty three feet and five inches above low water mark, and that it stood, at (hat tune, eight hundred and fifty feet above the level of the sea. Allow citizens known the apparent heighth of of the stone piers for the railroad bridge acr ss rise Holst on. The water, at one time, was two feet ond five inches above the top of them. The watei cotumeuced falling at 4$ o'clock, p. m. on Saturday. We learn that the only serious damage done to the East Tennessee *fc Virginia road is the lose of four spansof the Strawberry Plains bridge and the Flat Creek bridge. Aside from this the dam age is easily repaired Aud unless the weather prove* very stormy these damages wid be re paired ami the trains running regularly again at the expiration of teu days. Iu the meantime passengers and mails will be taken across the riv er by boats to coanect with trains on either side. President Branner and Superintendent Uoxie will push these repairs to the utmost until com pleted, and everything in their power will be done to aid the traveling public.—Corn 12/A* a omme rci .ajl.
