At the mouth of the Rod river ’*>formatwn
Wf joblained tlmt the Hog Point crerncse
hajtsubmerged six large plantations. The;
etpek had generally been sent ont of t'rati
Feqt^n to Ihebilla in Mississippi. Ou the
way op to Delhi the eteuner picked up
sever/1 families who were in search of
high grennd. After reach’ng tbo mouth
of tho^Steek river the entire country pre-
acnteditbe appearance of a vast ini ndsea,
not (i rpot of land being visible
nnywhere. Tho houses of the squat
tent or small fanners were abandoned,
and almost submerged- Only the chim
neys and xoqta ot the houses were seen
above the flood. Tho oocuDnn(3 had long
since removedflieir stock nnd household
good? to tbeXpgh lands further np tbe riv
er. These people, having no credit, eanu rt
furnish themselves* with provisions, and
the present di?i/-c?smnst be relieved by
ration agents at Tmy and other pointi.
Nearly all the worpey and children of t>' ; 8
section have been sent to tbe hills, bnt tbe
mnlepopnlation, whit* and colored, a e
Jiving iu gin houses and corn cribs, tho
floors of which are scaffolded above the
water. They are working herd to save
their stock by conreying them in flat boats
to high lands.
At least eight plantations' c a Black river
are submerge 1, with nothing to mirk their
locality but the house-tops. Tbe water in
tho fields was six feet dtep, and the only
means of communication was by boats,
Rafra filed with frightened cattle and
poultry huddled together on house-tops,
made the sce-ie one of otter desolation eml
difficult to describe.
After leaving tbetown of Troy and enter
ing Tensas river, no land was seen until
wo reached tbe Bayon Macon Hills, a
distance of eighty-eight mites, nnd the
trip through this section of the Stato was
more like a.sea than a river voyage By
interviewing both white nnd colored poopte
it was ascertained that along tho tensas
river very little actual gaffe* Ing for want of
food ptevai's, as the colored people have so
far been (nrnishod with food by planter?.
Slock fn m this section has generally been
sent to the hills., Prominent planters on
the Tensas staled thit they were opposed
to tbe issuauco.of government rations, as
there was no destitution along that river so
;reat that .lie people coaid not relieve, nnd
;iat tiie rations would demoralize the
labore.-s; that planters generally are able to
feed their huods until tbo flood is over,
r nd many of the negrees hid already re
fused to assist in conveying out stock, toy
ing tbe g werment wonld send them rations.
Otnor planters said many of them couldnot
get the city merchants to advance supplies,
and unless the government famished
rations there wonTd be great destitution
among the colored people. Lieat. Ran
dolph. who was detailed by order of the
War Department to investigate the con
dition of the people in this section of the
country* ha* carefully questioned those
whom he met, and from tne facu obtained
the conclusion was reached that at present
the orly general destitution which prevails
is ntnoug the white nnd colored ?i[U?tter?
who cultivate sma'l terms, have no help
nnd hnve' neither credit nor money. The
Times-Democrat's steamer is rendering
good service in this section removing
stock, etc.
A Dfihi, La., special says tbe Black and
Tensas?) ivers and Bajou Macon are rising
rapidly, and fears are entertained that
rations a week ha believes will bemeeded
‘until tbe water subside* so that the people
-can-get to work.

there ia but a small portion of the planta

plowing and planting corn, as if nothing
had ever happened. On Deer creek there
is much saflerirg, owiup.to the scarcity of

At a meeting of the committees repre

HI* Scliool-Day Dreams and Constant
Study—His Thought* ot Greatness
To the Edit: - of the Press:—'ll.o Press
having taken up tho subject of John
Wilkes Booth nnd the “assassination of
Lincoln,” several parties connected with
tho event havo given their opinions of the
motives that actuated Booth to tbe deed.
After reading the story given by Mr. T.
Ford Mathews and others, I think a scrap
from his school-days wi'l show conclusively
to overy one the real motive f ;r his action.
Mr. Ford says admiration for Bratus, and
the fact that tbe public lird “made assas
sination respectable by applauding tbe
chief actor in the play of Julias C»s*r,”
was the mainspring of his action. I beg
(•are? to give mr views on tbe subject, and
relate some of his early life in college, to
prove what, in my view, was the proper
aod only motive he could have for the deed
that has been a source of sorretv for the
whole country, and regretted by North and
Sontb alike as the most uncalled-for and
lumen table act in the whole civil war. Mr.
Ford’s idea bears some resemblance to the
real one, yet I am sure Booth’s admiration
of Bratus aufl love of tragedy was not the
governing cause.
It was a “name in history” he sought A
glorious career he thought of by day and
dreamed of by night. Ho atways said “he
would moke his name remombered by
succeeding generations” John hid one
of tho most lively and checrfal of di?po«i-
tisns; was kind, generous and affectionate
io his nature, with an admiration for h'e
father ltd his abilities that amounLd al
most to idolatry. -
Oar first meeting was in 18:2, at St. Tim
othy’s Hill, Cxtonavitle. Baltimore county,
Maryland. From the first wo were friendB
and companions, and “Billy Bowlegs”
(Booth’s, nickname). Mortis Gram and I
were inseparable. John and I slept in
cots side by side for two ye.irs, and during
that time we three wro constantly togeth-
e*. If one of us fell into disgrace ana was
kept in study to complete some task (gen
erally writing eo many lines from “Fara-
dise Lost”) the three would accom
plish it, and then off to our
rash house iu Reed's woods adjoining
the grounds of the hall, and it was
oar delight to spend our Wednesday and
Saturday afternoon holidays in cooking
chickens, eggs and such things as a school
boy wonld procure by “ways that aro dark.”
Wo had cooking nten-i!?, nnd a gun hooked
from the nrmory of the school, and each of
us had a five-barreled Co t's revolver, with
which ?vo killed rub'ui:? and bird?, tint
were very abend ntiin the surrounding
woods. We became very expert with the
pistol, and cither of ns could kill a rabbit
running, nnd about once in three times a
partridge flying.
I have no doubt many of your readera
will recollect tbe good! times they had
at school, 1 nd ours wa? no exception. To
see the three of us io our bush castle and
bear tha boyish plans each would set forth
as their ideas of l’feandits duties, wonld
h;(Vt> shown to anyone that the problem of
life was even then a serous thing, and with
our boyish knowledge folly considered.
LOVI8II ASFIBATIOaS.
Morris Oram always looked forward to
either a great merchant or Iawye-, and he
never could decide exactly which, and in
stating hi? views for the future his am
bition inclined to the law, nnd said he
w-iuld like to bo a greater orator than
Daniel Webster aud a more profound law
yer than F.everdy Johnson, while Booth
thought only* of being a cam admired by
all people. He asserted that he would do
something that wool 1 hand hi? name down
to posterity, never to he forgotten even
after be had been dead a thousand years.
Booth nnd Oram liad red-clay pipes with
reed steins atx.-ut a yard long, and when
they with their pipes lay on tbe ground,
th*-se daily conversations were always in
order. Our opinions of the future were
freely di*cu«sed. I recollect when we
asked Booth how he expected to acquire
such greatness and notoriety as he was
continually talking of. one of bis answers
was: (‘Well, boys, I’ll tell you wha* I
mean. Yen have read shoot the Seven
Wonders of the World? Well, we’ll take
the Statue Of Rhodes for example. .Sup
pose that statue was now standing, and I
I should by some means overthrow it? My
name wonld descend to posterity, and
never.be forgotten, for it would be in tbe
histories of the times, nnd be read thou
sands of years after we are dead, and no
matter how smart and good man we may
be, we would never get our names in so
many histories.”
On another occasion when the Battle sub
ject was discussed, I recollect tie said: “I
wish there was an arch or stntuo at the
jnouth of the Mediterranean sea, across
the straits of Gibraltar, with one side
resting on the Rock o’ Gibraltar and the
other ou an equally prominent rock, on the
const of Africa. I would leave everything,
and never rest until I had devised some
means to ttirow it into tho sea. Then l-.*ok
out fdr history. English, French, Spanish,
and all Europe, Asia and Atnoa would
resound with the name of John Booth. I
tell you it won Id Iks the greatest feat ever
executed by one man.”
UEOXiraSS OF CONSEQUENCES.
While speaking, his whole sold appea-e I
to contemplate with satisfaction\ne future
he had draco.
Oram said, “Billy* suppose the falling
statue took yon dona with it, what good
wonld all yonr glory then do yon ?” His
answer was: “I should die with the satis
faction of knowing I had done something
never before accomplished by liny otW
man, and something no other man wocld
probably ever do.”
In 18(3 there ocetmed a “rebdUton” at
St. Timothy’s Hall, caused by the principal,
Rev. L. Van Bodtelen, depriving fehe whole
school of the W-edneeday and Saturday af
ternoon holidays, because three or four
boys killed « lot of dhicken*, nnd not eat
ing them ttaiy became spoiled, and tbe
boys tied them'to a pule and marched
around the -college in iprocession, finally
leaving the .pole restin’ on the ground by
the house with the -upper end with the
spaded chicken? on it renting ngains: the
».udow ot tho housekeeper, .Mr?. Van
JtookleD, who waa the principal's aunt. No
oae wonld -tell 'who were the goilly
<eneq* snd tbe whole school were mode to
suffer.
The senior department with the- sopho
more and freshman o'asses, marched out
to Reed’s woods and formed a camp with
tbe .guns from the school armory. Guards
moun-ed and all prepared for defense, we
-waited a deputation from the faculty. Drs.
Deffanderffor, Starr and Wharton, and
Mr. Arnold, the well-known confectioner
of Baltimore, were sent to us and made
speeohes. Dr. Wharton was replied to by
-hia son JesBie (afterwards shot by a senti
nel for looking ont of a window at tho old
capitol prison in Washington), and Drs.
Deffenderffor aud Stair, and Mr. Arnold
by his son Samuel Arnold, (attor-
ward connected with Booth in the Lincoln
tragedy.) Compromise was the order of
the day. It was finally settled, a-ter the
boys had s'ept in the woods three nights.
Thomas F. Bayard, the present Senator,
of Delaware, was one of the most indig
nant rebels we had. While all the boys
were bitting on the fence and looking the
•Rnatiou io the face, Baj-crd cat a pole,
and straddling it came galloping into our
midst and dismounted. He then mnde a
speech, which I feel snre he has nevir beat
en since -in the effect it created; we made
the welkin ring. He was taking the part
of Cte a-, and after he had matjehis speech,
in imitation of Ctesar to his somiora when
abont to cross the Rubicon, he mounted
his hor?e (pole) and galloped across a
small trench that bapp ned to be iu front
of him, with a stick waving in the air rep
resenting a sword; and to have heard tbe
applause and hearty concurrence of his fel-
low-ctndents was enough to have convinced
any one of his eloquence and the favor
with which his speccn was recei?-ed. The
huzzas were heard np at the Hall, about a
mile off, and we were told that the fac
ulty got ’lightened and supposed we were
going to clean ont the place. It was dur
ing this lost year that we had a dramatic
association at the college, and Booth was
one of the most active members. We gave
regular exhibitions and entertainments on
holiday occasions, and they were largely
attended by people of the surrounding
country. The young lady students from
Inglesido Seminary, about two miles off,
were often invited guests. On all suclt
occasions Booth was iu his element. He
used to tell ps anecdotes of his father, how,
when playingR chard I1L, it would be al
most impo??ih-.o for Lichmoiul lo subdue
him. Ha was a splendid swordsman, and
8S he entered w*‘tq.hi8 whole soul into the
fight, ne had been known to ran h : s
antagon-'st off tho stage when he
should have submitted to being killed.
It was often difficult to get persons of snf-
fit ient ability to play the part of “Ri Al
mond” with his father, as tie would often
have to be reminded that the play called
for his defeat, which point he admitted
wdh great reluctance.
Jos. A. Booth, a younger brother, wft3
also at SL Timothy’s at this time. He was
a remarkably quiet, diffident boy, with no
aspirations whatever for the life of an
®?'<> r * . H ? always appeared to enjoy life in
others, but lacked that dash and go-ahead-
ativeness of h-'s brother Jobr. Joe wss
ever obliging and ready to do anything to
make things agreeable to others, and kept
away from fights and broil... Joe was in
the junior department, aud only on the
play-ground did we regularly meet. John
tikes never was a vic.ous or bad-minded
boy; oa the contrary, he was noble In
muni, generous to a fault,- and honor-
^n»h m nV 113 ac M cns * He loved the
booth—all his associates were from that
section, bt. Timothy's Hall was princi-
>ally supported by scholars from south of
M»»,znd Dixon’s line, and believing I
Knew John Wilkes Booth ns well as any
other living person, I am led to bnt one
cono nsion m regard to his taking tbe life
of Abraham LmcjJn, and that is, first, his
great desire to do some deed or accomplish
some act that had never been done by any
offier man, so that hii namef might live in
® e 9° nil i '“ke his view on the con-
‘ho cjuntry at that rime, with
hts whole heart in sympathy with the
fr hi b t,’m 1< i \ ? rm ! y believe that ho thought
it he killed Lincoln the result would be c
comp ere change in the position or affairs;
«nd this B 5' n her independence,
and that independence would be sc-
cured by bts single area raised
“■u*** 1 moment, and that he
w °?' d he regarded as the Washington
of the South and the savior of his couutry.
He persuaded himself that he would be
successful, escape into Virginia, and the
whole country South, men, women and
chi.dren, would rise to defend him and
hide him from bis enemie?, anil.finally be.
when the freedom of the Sonth had been
secured, would be regarded in a high, lira
orablo light, a patriot nnd liberator. I be-
Iievc, instead of following »he Bratus idea,
hts thought* were rather after Wcshingtou,
Bolivar and Leonidas, but bis great boyish
atm would bo accomplished—“his name
known in history, to five forever.” To ar
rive at this matter finally one mast have
known the true workings of his mind. I
a *h conrirced he did not consider tho enor
mity of his act. He only recognized that
ooe man stood in tho way of hts friends,
barred the way of liberty to his be
loved South, and by helping his
friends and, as he believed, ridding
the country of a man that, ns a sectional
candidate, should never have been Presi
dent of the United States. He thought the
deed would be glorified in the South. He
did not understand the feelings of the
Southern people on this subject. Ho never
know Mr. Lincoln, never studied his char
acter, or thought howgood a man he wa»,
never for one moment imagined h's act
wo aid prove the worst blow tbe South could
tcssibly receive. Convincing himself that
tho opportunity he so long soMlitfor mak
ing himseir famoas had arrived, he seiztd
it, and tbe result we all know, and deeply
lu'B'tet*, A Mabylisdeb.
