Ataev and Streams High
Our river is now very high, and is still
rising. Heavy showers must have fallen
in the up-country. The streams are also
very full. Work on various bridges is be
ing pushed forward.
Handsome I“rises.
In tho show windows of Witlioh A
Kinsel’s store are displayed tho prizes
wbioh are to be shot for on the ooeasion

flt of the Columbus Library Association,
an requested to meet in the Library
rooms this afternoon, at half-past four
o'clock. Tha gentlemen eo'nneoted with

to be present.
Cleaning tho Cemetery.
The city has already commenced dean
lag ont the streets and publlo yards in
the cemetery. The oommittes requests
the owners of lots to at once dean the
premises, so that the debris thrown into
the streets may be removed by the carts
pnvious to the oelebration of Memoria
Day. It is hoped all may heed this n
quest.
Wanted to Bo Safe.
Bafon the so-called “Judge” Appleby,
in Bussell oounty, the other day, a nam
her of negroes were oharged witb theft.
The proof was so dear that the lawyer ad
vised his clients to plead guilty. Of oourse
they wen admitted to bail on their own
reoognlsanoe. While the bund was being
made out, one of the accused remarked
“Squire, put in them six hogs I stole from
Mr. Persona. I wants to keep from tron.
ble.” It was put in. That’s AUbauut law.
Damages tn Zoo County.
The rain did some damage to Lester'
mill, on the Auspolaga creek, in Lea
oounty, Ala., four, miles this side of Craw
ford. Mr. B. H. Oates, living at the mill,
lost ell his carpenter and other tools, lum
bar and furniture. Leater’s loss was per
haps 8160. That of Mr. Oates was about
the same. The land in both Lee and
Russell counties were badly washed.
Oraln suffered heavily.
Mayer's Court Yesterday,
Henry Haywood, colored, who some
times preaches in Oirard, was accused by
his wife of being drunk and disorderly.
His eotiou was confined to his own house,
and he was dismissed.
Lnoiada MoCoy, colored, disorderly
oonduot, was dismissed.
Jim Lewis, oolorqdi was charged with
burglary. He had been found in Claflin
Academy (for colored children) on Thurs
day night. He had broken in the dour.
His exouse was he had been driven from
home by his aunt, and forced an entranoe
into the house to keep out of the rain.
Sent to jail in default of giving bail of
8100.
The City light Guards' Hrslr.
This pionie takes place next Wednes
day, the 22d of April, at Fort Mitchell, on
the Mobile A Oirard Bailioad. The Co
lombo* Guards, by fecial invitation, are
also going, and all may expect to seo a
flue battalion drill. In addition there
will be a target praotioe for choice prizes.
Tickets are only one dollar each. All are
expected to earry provisions, as the pic-
nlo will be a basket one. Platforms will
be furnished for dancing, and an excel
lent string band, of aix pieces, has been
engaged. The Wall Silver Cornet Band
has kindly consented to accompany the
excursion and furnish martial maaio. It
is confidently believed that eight hundred
persons will sxouraionize. If you eannot
go, buy a ticket and thus aid a gallant
company, whose mettle has been tested
on saany a bloody field.
Oar >ita* Department- What
Should Do.
Those who visit onr Counoil
will very often be convinced that Colum
bus his either a paid Fire Department, or
♦ii«t volunteer organisations are very im
portunate In their demands, or that Conn
ell cares very little about establishing a
spirit of the corps, or very great advan
tages ensue to members by being a Am
man. The only advantage of being a Are-
man is, that a member is exempt from
jury duty. That’s all. A juryman in this
oounty is paid a dollar and a half a day.
Many people am willing to earn this
amount.
Without offering any exouse, palliation
or reason, it must be evident to the dull
est, that no volunteer lira organization
can exist without encouragement from the
city. It is enough for the members to
offer their services—to come at any hour
of the day or night when an alarm is
sounded. It may be said that others will
do it, if a company fails. Why don’t they
do it now ? Has not every citizen seen
thousands of men stand around afire;
and yet all would suffer a Amman worked
to death before aoy member would offer
to labor on the brakes. Henoe
steamers were found to be a necessity.
Firemen gain no advantage in protecting
the oity, yet somehow many of the aider-
men think they are forsooth granting a
great favor to the firemen because they
build them a house to put an engine,
which belongs to the city, provide mem
bers comfortable quartern for their meet
ings, and pay occasional bills. Council
gets outraged beaause firemen want hor
ses to draw engines to fires. Who is ben-
efitted thereby ? The oity aasnmdly. The
firemen have little or no interest pecuni
arily in hurrying engines. Why the
larger majority own not a dollar’s worth
of real estate in the oity.
We notioed some Aldermen smiling last
Monday night because Hook and Ladder
Company asked for a pump to fill their
reservoirs, and to save them the trouble.
Some talk was made about how much the
oompany hod cost, Ao. They simply for
got the men were right in asking Qiat
their labors be abridged as much as pos
sible. Thoy get up at all times of night
to save property, yet Councilmen, who
sweetly sleep, think men who do all they
can to extinguish flames ought to work
afterwards to fill their own reservoirs with
water. Was absurdity ever more appa
rent?
If you want to abolish the volunteer
system, do so. If you don't have that,
you must have a paid one. Counoil can
estimate the cost. If left to us, we would
say every time, have the paid department.
If anything is amiss, we can blame the
members. Mow we can't, beoause our
Firemen do the best they oan and receive
no pay therefor.
One thing is certain. Our Fire Depart
ment mnst receive more enoouragement,
or the City Council must have a paid De
partment. Men are not going to work
for nothing, and then have grudging
thanks bestowed, and their reasonable
wiahes denied or postponed for a month.
Our firemen are among the first gentle
men in Columbus, and Council should do
all in its power to encourage a spirit of
pride in the Department, relieve men of
all the heavy labor they can, grant re
quests, and pay bills promptly, and show
the body the city is proud of those J that
compose it. If not, get your paid Depart
ment as soon aa possible.
Sad Accident—Death of an Accomplish
ed Young Lady.
Last Saturday afternoon, Miss Kate, the
eldest daughter of Dr. M. J. Bussey,
President of the Eagle and Phenix, Man
ufactory, was riding on horseback in com
pany with Mr. Green, a young man of Sa
vannah, who has an office in the olerioal
force of the establishment. When on
lower Broad street her hat blew off. This
startled the animal on which she was
mountod,ond while trying to regain the hat
she was unseated and fell. In the course
of the fall, the horse's hind foot Btruck
the back of her head, severely fracturing
the skull. While inBemuble, she was car
ried into an adjoining house, and thence
in a carriage conveyed to the home of her
parents. The first few days she oould
converse, but latterly her tongue and ono
side of the body became paralyzed. She
breathed her last without a struggle, and
seemingly without pain, at 8 r. it. on
yesterday.
Mias Bussey was in her eighteenth
year, and graduated with distinction last
summer. She was a member of the Bap
tist Churoh, and noted for her piety. In
the Sunday-school, as pupil and teaoher,
she was admired for her Christian graces
and faithful attention to duty. In the so
cial world she was one of the brightest or
naments.
In their affliotion, the bereaved parents
and family have tho warmest sympathy of
our citizens.
Madame Datlini's Concert this After
noon.
The delightful musical entertainment
given by Madame Bailini on Wednesday
night is to be .repeated this afternoon at
threo o'clock, for the benefit of the
ladies, children and the public generally.
It is, undoubtedly,a very ohoice exhibition,
furnishing oharming music,and muoh that
will smooth the wrinkles of anxiety, and
banish dull care.Tbis city owes Madame B.
a debt of gratitude, and she alwaya gives
the most pleasant of mnsioal festivals.
Our oitizens should enoourage her in her
endeavors to establish a first-class musical
and dramatio corps in Columbus, and cul
tivate a taste for artistio harmonies. The
cost is trifling compared with the enjoy
ment to be derived. So fill the hall this
afternoon and give the Madame a rousing
Matinee.
Military Drill.
The Columbus Guards were out last
afternoon under command of Captain
Shepherd. At the head appeared the fine
brass band of the company, led by Prof.
Davie, which discoursed sweet music.
Banks were full, and the organisation
made a handsome appearance, and went
through the various evolutions with mili
tary accuracy.
It is probable the company will bo pre
sented with its beautiful flag on Monday.

increase of 261,118 bales
Thk Cotton Situation—The South It
being visited by an Immense rainfall. It seems
to be must severe in Miss., Louisiana, Tens.,
and Arkansas. Overflows have occurred and
great damage Is feared. Planters are very
gloomy. Even in Texas the season hat been
very unfavorable, owing to too muoh rain.
Official returns trom that State show that
more cotton will bo planted than last year, and
laborers are working well. The Gulf States,
generally, report the same or more cultivation
of ootton. Ail this shows the necessity of rais
ing sufficient grain. The cotton belt stretches
over an immense area, and a small yield from
each will produce a large aggregate.
We have had too muoh rain In our own as
well as other sections. Our river is very full
and is rising rapidly. Great Injury to small
grain has already been produced by washing
and more Is feared. Little cotton has thus far
and this consideration has had weight
vance prices. We hope shortly to be provided
with a gauge, so that the quantity of rain can
bo measured.
The Columbus market has been firm the en
tire week. The main sales have been effected
for Europe and speculation. Those reported
lor Charleston, Savannah, and Mobile are des-
tiue-i for England and the continent, while a
few local buyers are engaged In speeulatlon.
Of our stook, probably the. e remains a fourth
which has not fully been advanced on. Colum
bus expects to warehouse fully 3,000 more bales,
making the total for the season over 61,000.
This week’s receipts considerably exceed those
of the corresponding week of 1878.
