Ratification M kiting at Rich
mond. —The negroes held a meeting in
Richmond a ftw nights ago, to ratify
the action of the late Thirty-ninth Con
gress, which they did fully by speeches
and resolution*.
Rev. D. P. Jones, better known as
“Uncle Dabney,” died at bis residence,
near Palmetto, Ga., on the Bth inst., in
the 76ih year of his age. Few men ever
labored move zealously in the causo of
humanity, temperance ard religion.
Charles F. Brown, better known as
“Artemus Ward,” died at Southamp
ton, England, on the 7th inst., leaving
• will, which provides that all Lis prop
erty shall go to his mother during het
life, and at her death, towards tho erec
tion of a Printers’ Asylum.
A negro made his appearance in East
Machias village, Me., the other day,
and was quite a curiosity to the people,
many of whom never saw a colored man
and brother brfere. A little boy, struck
with the new comer's color asked his
father “who painted him ?” Th« fath
er replied; “God did it, my son,”
whereupon the youngster expressed his
surprise that he stood still and lct'him
do it!
The Western Streams.— Western
papers state that tho flood in the Wes
tern watersu remarkable for its contin
uance as well as is extont. For three
weeks the Ohio has been at flood height
and the losses by the overflow of bottom
lands have been enormous. The river
is still rising, and greater disasters and
more suffering than have been known
from this causo for many years aie ap
prehended.
Tiie New Stars and Stripes. —
Congress, says the World, should adopt
some plan before adjournment for chang
ing the national flag into agreement
with the new national condition. False
to tbeir rhetorical flourishes about keep
ing all its stars, they have struck out
ten. It would suit them now to blot
those from the banner, as the portrait
\ enetian Dogo was branded by his ene
mies as a traitor's and turned to the
wall.
Baptist Convention.— The Baptist
Convention of Georgia will meet in Co
lumbus on the 26 th of April. The Sun
says:
“Arrangements are being made in
the various families, members of the
congregation, for tht accommodation of
the delegates who may attend, and also
to have them pass over the various rail
roads on one fare. The promise is that
the Convention will be largely atten
ded.” '
A young lady, Miss Tinne, is the
captain of a Dutch yacht called the
Vreeny, which Bails in the Mediterra
nean. She is about twenty-seven years
of age and attracts great attention. Her
suit is composed of four persons, dress
ed in rich and picturesque costume, after
the fashion of the East. One of them
is as black as ebony ; another is a little
black girl. The latter wears a magnifi
cent chain around her neck, besides sev
eral strings of gold coins.
A Disappointed Bnob.—That mis
erable wretch, Jack Hamilton, of Tex
as, has been seeking to revive his sink-1
ing pecuniary fortunes by soliciting the
postmastership of the house of Repre.
sentatives at Washington, bat without
success. Jack is furious against his
Radical friends for not coming to his
support, and says “they are a pack of
d—i traitors, and that there are too
many hungry N irtherners in Washing
ton to afford even a Southern loyalist a
ghost of a chance to participate in any
public plunder.”
Alas, poor Jack!
“The Infamous Two-Tpirds.”
Under this caption tho New York,
World publishes, surrounded by a heavy
black hordei, the names of the Senators
and members of Congress who voted to
psss Sherman x Military Bill over tha
Pres'dent’s veto, which measure the ed
itor characterizes as a ‘'bill to annul
the Constitution (f tho United States
to subvert the government of ten States
ia the Union, and to substitute therefor
military despotism.’ After giving the
names of those who‘voted aye on the
final passage of the bill to ‘organize
hell’” the editor adds 1 “The time is
eoming when every mat in the above
list will stand accursed ,-n our history.
Their children will deny their descent
from the infamous two-thirds of the
Thirty-ninth Congress.”
Wlial Mm 11 (Ik- I*, op It* of Tilt

Various inqrefsions prevail with re
gard to tho duty of oir people under
those re ent enactments of Congress
which place them under mritarv gov
ernment, and which prescribe also for
the Southern States the mode by and
through which they shall be recon
structed in the “Union.” The follow
ing, which we clip from the N\ ashing
ton City National Intelligencer, and
which was doubtless designed to '.im
press the Southern mind, we lay be
fore our rea lers, for their considera
tion, offering no comment upon tho
counsel embraced in it, but endorsing
most heartily that journal's belief ir.
1 the superiority of intellect and of cul
ture’’ of the white race, and their ul
timate triumph, if they but “do them
selves justice,” over any other with
whom they may come in contact,
grant the latter what privileges the
government may. Says our Wash
ington City cotemporary:
“Whatever force thcio may have
been in the argument that the South
could take no action under the Sh-jf
man-Shellabarger bill w ithout volunta
ry participation in its own degrada
tion, is now destroyed by the bill
which passed the House of Represen
tatives. That takes tho question of
holding a convention out of tho realm
of popu’ar consent, and confers it upon
the military commander. He is en
joined to make a registration and to
order an election. Whatever may be
done, therefore, is done under military
duress, and it is the part of wise men
to accommodate themselves to circum
stances. The registration will be made
The election will be held. The ne
groes will vote. Shall the whites ab
stain ? If inaction accomplished aught,
we might understand why men should
advise it; but when tho practical ef
fect of inaction will be to secure the
adoption of a State Consti
tution by those who do act, and an
application for admission into the Un
ion from men who have voted, while
this inaction will put arguments in the
mouths of men who have already tco
much control of the Government, we
cannot exactly see the wisdom of hesi
tation. Those who abstain now from
choice will abstain hereafter from ne
cessity. No one appreciates more ful
ly tho iniquity of this kind of legisla
tion ; no one realizes more keenly its
inconsistency with republican princi
ples ; no ore more heartily deplores
the stab it gives to constitutional gov
ernment ; no one is more alive to the
dangers which beset the new order of
things which it is proposed to inaugu
rate; nevertheless, we believe. in the
superiority of intellect and of culture;
and, if they do themselves justice,
they are bound to control.'’
An Demanded.
Under the forgoing heading the Na
tional latelhjcncer comments as follows
upon that supplemental clau-e of the
bill of Mr. Wilson, which requires that
the Southern people shall swear that
they are “earnestly attached to the Un
ion and Government of the United
States.” It is enough, says the able
and conservative journal, that “they
take the other clause of the oath—‘that
I will steadfastly support the Consti
tution, and obey the laws of tho United
States; and that I will, to the best of
my ability, encourage all others to
such support and obedience.” To ask
men to sweqr earnest attachment to a
government whioh denies them their
rights, even though willing to support
and obey it, is simply an outrage. The
first is a matter of sentiment—the last
a matter of obligation. Legislation has
nothing to do with the former, and this,
if intentional, is simply a piece of ma
nevolent ingenuity, contrived to prevent
sensitive men from voting. It will
catch only the most Ligh-toned and
srcupulous—the very men whom it
should be the policy of a wise and lib
eral government to bind—while it will
not interfere in the slightest with others.
The words are totally unnecessary.
They will be construed into an -affront,
the; are outside of the sphere of just
legislation. We hope, therefore, that
the Senate will strike them out, and let
the oath simply pledge fealty and obe -
dience and personal influence in favor
of both.”
Outside the sphere of just legislation
the whole civilized world wi'l pronounce
the exaction commented upon in the
foregoing which wc made upon the
Southern people unjust, aod it is most
earnestly to be hoped that the “amend
ment demanded” by our able and pa
triotic Washington cotemporary will
prevail in the Senate.
Washington, March 18.—At his
own request, General Thomas retaios
the command of the Cumberland De
partment; and Goneral John Pope will
command the Third District. (Geor
gia, Alabama, Florida.)
Savannah, March 18.—At a meet
ing of some three thousand Negroes,
three white and five black speakers td
dressed the crowd. The speeches were
confined to the topics of universal suf
frage and the right to sit as jurors.—
Proceedings very orderly.
1 Tlic-Flood at Cliattanoosn*
| A gentleman who left tho city while
the flood was at its highest, informs the
Cherokee Gcorgiau that the water reach
ed Railroad street on Thursday las', and
on Friday afternoon it was over the first
floor of the Crutchfield House. On
Tburday evening the wator was ten feet
deep in Market street, and not a s'orc
was opcu in the city. Part of the fridge
crossing the Tennessee was washed
away on Wednesday, and the remain
der was carried down the river on Satur
day, and on Suoday evening the city
was entirely submerged (except C’ainc
ron Hill and the high grounds to the
South of Markit street,) the W. & A.
Kailr< ad Depot and Car Shed stauding
fully 8 feet in water, and an angry-look
ing current running down Market street
at the rate of three miles an hour, in
which several steamboats were to be
seen rendering all the assistance they
could to the distressed inhabitants. •
Many small framed honscs have fl >at
ed down the river, and one large house,
tull of goods, swung into the stream
and floated away.
Provisions in tho city were getting
scarce, and the Mayor and commandant
of the Post were issuing rations to the
poor.
A great number of the people in the
submerged portions of the city were
living in tho second stories of houses,
being unable to find bettor quarters, or
escape from the sea of water around
them.
Since the inundation of the city the
negroesand white thieves have plunder
ed greatly from the submerged stores,
so much so that the city was put undir
martial law, at the request of the citi
zens, and all water crafts, of which there
were quite a nu nber, seized by the
authorities.
The water is said to be 52 feet above
low water mark, and 10 feet higher
than it was ever known to be in the
the city, and the amount of property
destroyed is estimated at $500,000.
Some thirty persons in the city are
supposed to have been drowned.
Tho water runs around the National
Cemetery, making an island of it, and
tho current passing through the cut ol
the W. & A. R. R., which passes here,
runs fully ten miles an hour.
Up to Tuesday at 10 o’clock, when
Mr. S. left Chattanooga, tho river had
fallen one foot and six inches, and was
still falling slowly.
The Loyalists. —lt is stutod posi
tively that Loyalists, par excellence ,
who infest Washington city, are op
posed to the Supp oriental Military
bill, on the ground that it places too
much power in the hands of the milita
ry, and that the commanding officers
of tho newly created districts will, in
all probability, so execute the law as
to practically ignore the Loyalists,—
so-called, —and place the late Rebels
in coi trol of the re-organiziog Con
ventions. Tho Louisiana bill was just
the thing for them, an 1 they are clam
oring for it, or something like it, yet.
Asa class, iu the South, they have
no influence with anybody and, as in
dividuals, they are still worse off, even
in the so called Loya 1 States Their
pretensions to loyalty have ceased to
command the respect, or admiration
of their Radical brethren, either in or
out of Congress. Hence their contin
uu! growl at every message not in ac
cordance with their own peculiar idea
of governing the South.
Proposed Loan to the South. —A
Washington letter states that there is
a number oi the members of the Mary
land Legislature there pressing upon
Congress the justice and necessity of
len ling some sl2 000,000 to the
Southern people to aid them in their
present necessities. It is urged by
many that if the amount asked is fur
nished, the States \fill never pay the
loan, and that the scheme is gotten up
by dilapidated merchants and bank
rupts to aid tbeir own necessities.—
Others assert that the people must
have aid, or they will be unable to ob
tain a ootton crop, and that unless
s rue assistance is given them before
another winter, the suffering through
out the South will be most intense.
Gospel Truth —When a man gets
a few dellars’ worth of goods, puts
them in a room, and sits down waiting
for customers, he follows pretty closely
the style of s )me merchants for past
years. He doesn’t advertise—he doesn’t
send out circulars, he merely sits and
waits. Now if a customer comes he
must pay a large price for what he gets,
because the sales are few, and the trades
man must live out of his profit*. The
goods get old and stale, and cus
tomers always lose money by dealing
with men wo do the slow-coach business,
Read our advertising columns, if you
desire to know who ore the live mer
chants. So says an exchange, every
word of which we heartily subscribe
to.

Tlic Bankrupt Bill.
The bankrupt bil, which the tele
graph announces was passed on Sat
urday, and only awaits the signature
of the President to become a law, is
very long, but the following will be
found to comprise the important pro
visions : v
Sec. 11. Prescribes the method of
availing of the act.
Any debtor whose debts, provable
under the act, amount to over three
hundred dollars, may petition the dis
trict Judge of his district, stating his

The Flood in Fast Tennc'sec.
We extract the following from the
Knoxville Commercial, the numbers of
which from the 6th to the 12th came
through yesterday:
[From the Commercial of the 7th ]
We are now in the midst of a terri
ble flood. The waters are npon us,and
still continues to come. Ihe valuable
bridgo across the Holston has been
swept away, and not a vestige can dow
be seen to indicate that such a structure
ever stood The rain continues to fall
and at present writing, 3P. m , there
is no indication that it will cease. The
water has now reached the highest wa
ter-mark known to the stream, if our
information is correct. The tnrbid wa
ters go rushing by, bearing on its sur
face feDces, bridges, remnants of build
ings, and every conceivable floating sub
stance that comes in its way The dam
age to the country must be immense,
and if the waters do not recede, before
many hours, Park's steam 83w mill, aud
John Coker’s mil), and Williams old
.varebonse, with all the buildings on the
bank, will be swept away.
From the Commercial of the Bih.]
All will remember that,the rains fell
in torrents, the lightnings flashed, and
the thunders clashed, and from Satur
day and Saturday night; Sunday and
Sunday night; Monday and Monday
night; Tuesday and Tuesday night;
Wednesday and Wednesday night ;up
to Thursday morning, the rain contin
ued to fall, and tho ffiods continned to
follow. Up to present writing, 12 M ,
Thursday, the water is now eight feet
and seven inches higher than ever be
fore known to the oldest residents of
Knoxville, and still rapidly rising.
We have just returned from a two
hours’ trip around the city. It is not
over estimating the loss to say that one
and a half million of dollars will not
eover the loss sustained by the people
of East Tennessee. We have already
learned of over four hundred thousand
bushels of corn that have been washed
away, and from William’s Island his en
tire stock of cattle have been lost. The
old warehouse, filled with valuable
property attached to Park’s mill, has
been swept away.
Two O’clock, p. m —The water is
now reported forty-two feet above low
water and nice feet above high water
mark, or that much higher than ever
known. The old feed store, near the
slaughter house has floated away. Mr.
Dobson’s house, has also gone, and Mr.
Cheatham’s new house, situated in the
rear of the McPherson house, has also
gone.
Who Can Vote ?—Tho following is
the oath prescribed in the Supplcmen a’
bill which was finally passed by Con
gress :
“I do solumnly swear or affirm in,
the presence of Almighty God, that 1
am a citizen of the State ol .
That I have resided in said State f r—
months next proceeding this, and now
reside in the county or the pa ish of

as a member of tho Congress of the U.
S., as an officer tho of U S , or as mem
ber of any State Legislature, or as an
Executive or Judiciary Officer of any
State, to support the Constitution of the

icction or rebellion again-t the U. 8.,
or given aid aud comfort to the enemies
thereof—that I will faithfully support
the Constitution and obey the laws of
the U. 8., will to the best of my ability
encourage others to do so i so help me
God”—which oath or affirmation may
bo administered by any registering of
ficer.

Tennessee: —lt is said tbe opinion
is beginning to gain ground in Wash

tion, and it is possible measures look
ing to such an object will be inaugura
ted before Congress adjourns; There
is no way disputing tbe fact that a worse
state of affaiis exists there than in any
other State engaged in the late rebell

leading Republicans to determtne that
the ten Statesaffjeted by the Military

loyal leaguers scattered within their
