She leaves this morning at 11 o'oloek. 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 of the pisnio of the Odd Fellows, on April 28th. They consist of a large sil ver pitcher, a' gold-beaded oano and a silver cup. They an very handsome. JfwWsf This Afternoon. The ladies who an interested in pre paring a strawberry festival for tho bene, 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 the institution are also earnestly requested 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.

It consists of interesting and curious pictures of life in Virginia and Mew Orleans. —A pionio excursion of Clanton Hook and Ladder Company, of Dadevillo, takes place on May 8tb, to Salisbury; the pres ent terminus of the Savannah A Memphis Railroad. —One hundred and twelve tons of iron for the Savannah A Memphis Rail road, have arrived in Savannah. Several more miles of iron are expected. —Isn’t it Jolly to bear of a man who dislikes yon for a past, rather mild casti gation, and who you never think of, muoh less mention, make disparaging re marks coaoerning you? It shows that your observation were true spite their mark. It is ever exceeding gratifying to know yonr shafts have struck the place at which you aimed. Public School Exhibition, One of rare excellence is to be given Thursday night, in the Opera House. The entertainment promises to be tho most pleasant Columbus has ever witnessed, Quite a number of novel features are to be introduced. The pupils havo com menced thus early to sell tickets at fifty cents each. City Light Guards. They were out drilling last night, with very full ranks, and in uniform. Capt. Williams commanded. Wall's Silver Cor net band furnished pleasant music. We bear, not officially,' however, that the company accepted the invitation to attend the Odd Fellow's pionie. A HABuTcUA NCJS ! Although the times do not improve, the necessity for Dry Goods continues, and to meet the emergency, T. E. Blanchard is prepared to sell for the cash his stack of Dry Goods, Notions and Hosiery, Ac., Ac., at vory low figures for cash.

Comparison with Last Yuan.—The' Uni ted States port receipts are 827,MS bales more; tho exports 208,034 more; the stock 80,904 more; Columbus receipts 8,706 more; shipments 4,703 more; stock 2000 leu. India shipments, slnoe January 1st. 416,000, against 300.000. Cotton In sight 8,048,608; against 2,707,800, showing nn 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. Mommernam CUnDLaa—Star ft % He: Sperm 46a.
