Late yesterday afternoon the river was
higher than It him been for a long time. 11
was no Inconsiderable stream us it dashed
and foamed along. The rains above this
[mint must have been very heavy. The
Spring rains have set in, and for the next
two months the spectacle of yesterday will
Ims common. The last time we looked at
the river It seemed to be still rising.
Incidents.
On Wednesday a heavy fence fell on a
negro woman, in the upper part of the city,
and came near destroying the animate
principles of vitality. Bhe says her luck
saved her.
Thieves have been after John Durkin’s
hogs again. They squealed, and the rogue
dropped them to save himself. It Is use
less to try to steal those swine; they are
educated, and the slightest approach of
danger their “voices are heard."

It was intimated that the deer was to be

half a dozen sportsmen appear**! on the
scene and seemed anxious for a frolic.
The animal was not brought out, how

The Storm.
There was a violent storm in this city
and vicinity yesterday morning, about
eight o’clock. The rain come down in

Many of the children at the public
schools became frightened and ran home.
A quantity of limbs blow off the lower
part of the city.
The storm was much harder on the Ala
bama side than in this city. Several
fences ami one or two old houses blew
down in Marshall. One old woman became
doubtful of the security of her dwelling,
and sought shelter under the roof of a
kind neighbor. Wo are happy to state
that her tenement withstood the rage of
the elements.

M FITTING t>F RELIEF ASSOCIATION
Great Entfcnaluom.
There was a full and enthusiastic meet
ing of the Committed of Relief yesterday
afternoon, at the residence of Mr. fl. 8.
Estes.
On motion of Dr. Flewellen, Hon. John
Peabody was elected temporary chairman,
and made some elegant and practical re
marks touching the object of tho Associa
tion. After which, Dr. Flewellen was call
ed upon to develop tho plan of relief, which
he did to the edification of his intelligent
Board of Relief. At the closo of his ad
dress, Hon. A. M. Allen followed in his
upuql strain of eloquence, endorsing the
plan, and pledging his heart and means in
Its support. Mrs. Murdoch, McAllister,
Estes, Prescott, Mcllhenny and Woodruff,

February 24,1875. Ini
Thtf City of Troy, Al. lrr**.ted.
We learned from Troy, Ala., yesterday,
that a United States Marshal had been
playing the mischief in that city. His
ravages upon the peace and quiet of the
town were caused by a most trifling inci
dent. Tho provocation was as much as
the government officials usually require
to display their ferocity and love of using
power for the oppression of honest men.
It seems that a traveling peddler who
sold brass jewelry came from Montgom
ery to vend his wares in Troy. There is a
city tax on such traders. This follow did not
pay his tax and still continued to traffic, in
the town. Ho refused to pay it when a de
mand was made upon him. Some of “the
boys” thought this chap’s impudence ra
ther insulting, and resolv**! to tease him
a little. One night, in a spirit of frolic,
they commenced some practical jok**s on
him. The fellow t*>ok the matter in a se
rious light, and the manner in which he
disappeared ovor the distant landscape is
described asa most touching sight. Not h
ing more was thought of this little affair,
and it was considered as ridding the city
of si nuisance.
On Wednesday, a Deputy Marshal nam
ed J. D. Williford, came down from Mont
gomery, armed with all tho royal power
of such gentlemen, and arrayed in the full
paraphernalia of office. It soon became
evident that he hud made his appearance
to act as tho avenger of the scared trinket
seller. Boon he began to seize citizens on
charge of Ku-kluxism, and ore long he had
quite a retinue of them. Tho town mar
shal, two or throe aldermen, the county
solicitor, and several other local officers,
together with many other respectable cit
tizons were numbered among the victims.
Yesterday he carried all these gentlemen
to Montgomery, where they will be com
pelled to answer for their awful crime.
Tho state of affairs In Alabama is getting
to bo lovely indeed. When a petty satrap,
who is unworthy of executing any law, is
empowered to pounce down on a commu
nity, seize its most respectable citizens
and drag them away from home, because
some little swindler has been scared out of
his wits, the country and its rulers must be
deplorably corrupt. Wo believe we would
prefer little Phil, with histyanny, to these
petty creatures of the Government . If we
must have oppression, let it wear epau
lettes, plumes, large spurs, ooekades, and
other adornments, and bo respectable in
appearance. The idea of being arrest**!
by any little Deputy Marshal is disgusting
in the extreme. We are glad that old
fashioned tar aud feathers, ami the swift,
but just retributions of Ku-kluxism have
ceased to bo common, but we must say
that we would heartily rejoice if these ter
rible engines of destruction would goto
work and operate just long enough to put
nine-tenths of the United States Deputy
Marshals safe in that “bourne whence no
traveler has returned.”

Blew York Financial Chronicle.
We have before us the last number of
tills Important publication. As usual, it is
1111**1 with valuable Information and sta
tistics. It shows tho total cotton receipts
for the week ending February 19, to have
reached 96,950 against 103,461 bales last
week, and 108,152 th*3 week previous, nnd
115,700 bales three wocks since. This makes
tho total receipts since September 1,1874,
amount to 2,836,183 bales against 2,943,619
for same period of 1873-74, showing a do
orcase slnco September 1, 1874, of 107,486
bales. Exports for the week ending Feb
ruary 19, were 83,553 bales, of which 61,777
wore to Great Britain, 8,451 to France, and j
13,325 to the rest of the continent, while
the stocks as made up are 835,219 bales.
Telegrams from Now Orleans show that,
besides the above exports, tho amount of
cotton on shipboard and engaged for ship
ment at that port is as follows: For Liv
erpool 59,000 bales, Havre 39,000, continent
43,000, coastwise ports 5,000 —total 148,500
bales; which, if deducted from the stock,
would leave 144.500 bales representing the
quantity at the landings and in press**
unsold or awaiting orders.
From the foregoing statement it will be
seen that, compared with the correspond
ing week of last season, there is a decrease
in.the exports of 13,886 bales; while the
stocks now are 3,219 bales more than they
were a year ago.
There has been a feverish and unsettled
market for cotton the past week, anew
element having appeared to influence the
course of prices. We refer to the fluctua
tions in the rate of exchange on London.
The opening was weak, and on Monday
quotations were reduced %c.; but on the
advance in gold, which took place Tues
day, there was a recovery of tone; at the
same time, however, there came a smart
decline in exchange, checking speculation,
and on Wednesday tin* market was ‘lull
and weak, till after ’Change, when some
improvement in exchange, together with
an advance in gold, caused an active busi- j
ness for export and speculation. Foreign
advices, as a general thing, had little in
fluence; but some falling off in receipts
has added strength to the market. For
future delivery the market has been vari
able, showing most weakness on Wednes
day, under the check to the advance in
gold and the depression in exchange,
which caused an abandonment, for the
moment, of the hopes of securing a rise in
cotton based on a higher gold premium.

Do You Want Health;
Why Will Ye Dif,?— Death, or what is
worse, is the inevitable result of continued
suspension of the menstrual flow. It is a
condition which should not be trilled with.
Immediate relief is the only safeguard
against constitutional ruin. In all cases
of suppression, suspension or other irreg
ularity of the “courses,” Dr. J. Brodfielus
Female Regulator is the only sure reme
dy. It acts by giving tone to the nervous
centres, improving the blood, and determ
ining directly to the organs of menstrua
tion. It is a'legitimate prescription, and
the most intelligent doctors use it. Pre
pared by J. 11. Bradfteld, druggist. Atlan
ta, Ga., $1 50 per bottle, and sold by re
spectable druggists everywhere.

Brudjiehl fl- o>,, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sirs:
I take pleasure in stating that I have used
for tho last twenty years the medicine vou
are putting up, known as Dr.Liradjield's
Female Regulator, and consider it. the
best combination ever gotten together for
the diseases for which it is recommended.
I have IxHMi familiar with the preparation
both as a practitioner of medicine and in
domestic practice, and can honestly say
that I consider it a boon to sflfferihg fe
males, and can but hope that *very lady
in our land, who may \xi suffering in any
way peculiar to their s<*x, may be able to
procure a bottle, and their sufferings may
not only i>* relieved, but that they may lib
restored to health and st rength. ’
With my kindest regards.
1 am, respectfully,
