The Mississippi river below Memphis is thirty miles wide, and great damage has been done by the flood. m Delegations from Kentucky, Illinois, Ohio and Missouri, are working in favor of the reduction of the whisky tax. The coming Brazilian coffee crop is stated on good authoiity to be from 500,000 to 1,000,000 bags short of the last one. "We are under obligations to Hon. Geo. II.

It might have done it but the man died of the whisky before it got a fair chance. The city of Buffalo, N.

Cairo's officials oppose the en try of a new railroad, and the residents . along the line have signed an agree ment not to spend a cent in Cairo stores. The trunk lines have advanced emi grant rates to figures that the " Vestern people fear will amount to prohibition in thousands cf cases, and thus compel emigrants to remain in the East where there is neither room nor work for them. The annual production of oleomar garine in New York city 116,000,000 pounds 5,000,000 pounds more than the dairy made butter of the entire State. And we have no doubt but that lots of the stuff is sent out labelled "Goshen." Editors Morelo and Severto, Mexican quill drivers, ended a dispute by a meeting on the field of duel. They meant business. Both fired and both dropped dead. Their quarrel is ended and they feel better now. The Virginia papers are paying hand some tributes to the memory of the late John Hampden Chamberlayne, the deceased gallant and brilliant editor of the Richmond State.

An old soldier named Edward Ken- nan died a week or two ago in Pitts burg, and five days after his death a long delayed pension dating from March 18, 1853, was granted to him. He left no heirs, and this accumulation of nineteen years will remain in the Uni ted Stated treasury, that is that portion or it which the pension agents do not gobble up. Philadelphia Record: The Methodist ministers of this city are not compelled to fight immorality at long range. Some of them might go to Utah asjmis- sionaries, after the precedent set by the primitive Apostles. But if they stay here, as they very likely will, there is a wide field in Philadelphia for faithful preaching against the very iniquities indulged in by the Mormons. Mr. Blame s oration, of wl ich his friend Garfield is to be the subject, is looked forward to with much interest in Washington. Eloquence of a Cicero nian pitch is expected by his friends and feared by those who think that he is too well appreciated. Of the 1,500 tickets of admission to the House on the day of delivery Mrs. Garfield will distribute twenty-five and the orator as many. Each Senator and Member will have three extra tickets. A. C. Soteldo, one of the participants in the recent sensational shooting affair in Washington, once served a year in the penitentiary. He was one of three persons who robbed Horatio C. Welsh, in Third avenue near One Hundred and S'xty-eighth street, New York, on tne morning ot August 18th, 1878. He got off .with one year's imprisonment by pleading guilty to "assault with in tent to commit robbery though he actually took Welsh's purse from his pocket while his confederates held the victim. It seems that the Peruvian Compa ny, that somehow got mixed up with Blaine's correspondence with his Peru vian and Chilian ministers, Hurlbut and Kil patrick, had or was to have a speculative capital of $900,000,000. The resolution of Congress requesting the President to furnish the names of the . parties interested, has created no little consternation in certain quarters, as it Is understood that the President is sys tematically at work to furnish the in formation, and that when read in Con gress it will astound the country.

The General is undouhif. edlv entitled to Lis views, and he had views, and having had something to say heretofore about the reports of the General's views, we now give these views overliis own signature, that there may be no mistake about ivt. t . Wead- mire, too, the frankness with which the General expresses his ViewS; bt tfig f act is for somo years lie has not beeft in full accord with the Democratic ptr ty, while having too little respect for the Republican party to affiliate with it. As with some others who have as pired to leadership, his association with the Democratic party since the war was more a matter of necessity than of choice, Indeed he admits quite as much in his statement. He will, however, not attempt the breaking of the Democratic party and carry as many or the pieces as ne can into the Republican party, as some of our so-called "independents" propose to do, but will judiciously wait till both of of the old parties have decided to die when the new party of regeneration may be born and live. In this he acts wisely. We are are not prepared to say while he places the Republican party in its true light as a sectional "organization, that there is no foundation for some of his strictures on the short comings of the Democratic party. But why has the General with his great intellect and brilliant talent for leadership been content to remain inactively silent so long while the party and the country stood in such dire need of his directing genius? Why did he not come to the front, seize the colors, and lead in the way to victory and reform? Why bury himself in his mountain home while the country wa3 going to the d ogs in this way, and letj pigmies get into the lead and mix matters as they have done ? This is what we find fault with him for, not for having views, but for silently laying back and do ing nothing to make these views effect tive. It is easy to find fault but not so easy to remedy faults. The talent that finds fault is not always the talent that makes the leader, and although we ad mit that there is a deficiency of leader ship in the Democratic party, a want of unanimity and cohesiveness on some issues, we tear that the General will not supply the want of the first, nor furn ish the plan of securing the others. In stead of complaining about the failures of the party, it would be the wiser poli cy and perhaps the more effective if Gen. Clingmau and others like him would address themselves to the task of bringing the party uo to the plane which they think it ought to occupy, and help to build the platform upon which it should stand and fight its bat tles. Better help to win the fight than se it lost and then be content with con demning the folly which lost it. We object neither to the discussion of real or imaginary weaknesses, for we be lieve in free, candid discussion, which is inspired by a desire to remedy evils and prompts to labor while it chides re missness. If all those who find fault witu the party for doing less than thny think it should have done, had done their full duty in directing its councils and shaping its policy, perhaps it would have accomplished more and there would be less occasion for their discon tent. WESTERN FLOODS. From all sections in the West and Southwest come accounts of continued rains and great floods. The Mississippi river opposite Memphis is said to be thirty miles wide, and is still breaking through the levees, covering, miles of landon either side of the river. The chief occupation of neoDle alone the river seems to be in fighting the current and trying to keep it within the levees by building embankments and fill ing in the breaks with sand bags. The destruction of property has been im mense, while thousands of people have been rendered destitute and homeless, huddling together as best they can on such elevated spots asthey an find above the reach of the encroaching wa ters. Even in some of the towns the waters have risen sVbigh as tovf ender me nouses uninnabitable. The conse quence of all this must be a vast amount of suffering, for thousands of people have been deprived of every thing; all they had either being de stroyed or swept away by the Irresisti ble waters. It is impossible to tell from the extent of country that has been submerged how many are so situ ated. It is a sad picture oifwide desola tion. - Meeting of Manchester Cotton Masters. Manchester.

Pepper, a passenger on the Anchor Line '-'Steamer from Helena: This morning we team dis couraging particulars, concerning the devastation and wide-spread xuin caus ed by the breaking of the levees along- tne, river irom Mempnis to ureenviue. The latest; breaks in Tunica "county, :Miss are at Trotter and Gordon, a mile and a half below Yazoo Pass and in Coahama county, Edward's Lake. At the opening in Louis Swamp, a large volume of water is going through to Sunflower bottoms. There was a tern-, porary levee at Trotter's Ridge which is all gone. This levee joined the main one on Colonel Edward Richardson's place above Hushapukana. From the latter place down to the break above Mound's place in Bolivar county the water is higher than ever known and in many places above the main land. It is only kept out by small ridges be ing thrown up on the outer edges of the levees with dirt taken from the inside portion of the levees. The levee at Mound's place gave way Monday, night. The special weak points are in Robins vill levee a short distance below Hush apukana on Lake Charles, at a point just below Concordia and near Bolivar landing. At all of these points the wa ter has been running over the levees, but was stopped by the use of sandbags and small ndees of earth thrown upon top of the levees. The break at Mound's4 r a. a -rv 1 place win overnow me Deer creeK sec tihn: From officers of the steamer Kate Dickson, which arrived at 11 o clock to day, we learn that a telegram was re ceived at Hay's landing yesterday, stat ing that Bolivar levee had also broken from Greenville, down on the Missis- sioDi side. The levees there are still in tact and it's hoped they will be able to stand the heavy pressure. Memphis, Ten., Feb. 22 The offi cers of the steamer City of Greenville, confirms the report published concern ing the sad condition or anaira now ex isting throughout the Mississippi Val ley. Thousands of men are on constant guard along the levees, and are using everv possible means to strengthen the power of resistence and elevate the crest to prevent the water from mun dating the whole country. The Green ville brought several thousand sacks to be used bv filling with earth to aid in strengthening embankments. Twenty- five hundred sacks were put on at uoi ivar Landing, where the danger of a break was imminent. Washington, As oouena. Bolivar, Coohoma and Tunica .counties, in Mississippi, in fact the whole shore line between Memphis and Vicksburg oh the Mississippi, and the whole eastern shore of Arkansas are either under water or threatened with inundation. The inhabitants .of this vast area of country are in great dis tress. Manv have been forced frenj their houses and are subsisting as best thev mav on rafts and in some in stances on knobs or parts of old levees The destruction of live stock is b? vond calculation. Navigation of the river itself is regarded by river men as dangerous at its present stage on ac count of the creat expanse or water in manv localities and the billowy charac ter of the waves when the surface is swept by heavy gusts of wind, also be cause of the great difficulty of getting to safe ports. The government lights along the river are maintained with admirable regularity. These lights prove an incalculable benefit to steam- boatmen now, since all Dans .inamarKs have disappeared. Arkansas City is completely submerged. Not a single house in that city is free from the pres ence of the muddy flood. The water there is represented as being 8 inches higher than the flood of 1876. The houses were built so as to be above the high flood level of that year, but in all of them there is from 7 to 8 inches of water. THE FIRST CHURCH. Honor to Whom Honoris Due. To ths Editor of the Observer. In your issue of TnE Observer on Sunday, ebruary 12th, 1882 there ap peared a history of the 1 irst Presby terian church oi this city, by Hon. J. U. Wilson. In some respects it is correct, while in others defective. As to the ground upon which thechurchisbuilt.it did ! not belong to the town commissioners as stated, Dut was the property of Capt. Wm. Davidson, who purchased it from one John Baxter, January 15, 1817, the deed for which was witnessed by Mai. Sam'l McOombs and Mr. John Irwin, two of the commissioners at that time. These lots were given by Capt. Wm. Davidson on which to build A churchor the vublic toor ship of Uoa, without re gard to any particular denomination, as at that time there' was no place lor public worship except the court house, , 1 7- .I 1 wmcn atooa m uio square luimeu uy the crossing' of Trade and Tryon streets, now known as "independence square." Many years before, there was an open stand In a grove, situated on. tne west piae ox unuxca atrew not. iar from where the present court house stands which was used for religious worship during the Summer months. and here it was that the children of Capt. Davidson were baptized, hence his desire to reserve it as consecrated ground, and with that intent he donat ed it for therlocatfon of a church, with the express promise toat itwasxo be used only as a church, lot, and upon that condition it was accepted dv tm citi zens and has been used for that purpose ever since. The first church built on this ground was after, the plan-of the PreBbvteriari church in . Raleigh, procured by ; Capt. uaviuson, wuu look an active, miertab in the building. At that time there were very few professing christians in' Charlotte. We can remember but one communicant' of the Presbyterian. church, and she wa quite an old lady. The church was built as a free church and open for the use of all denomina tions. It was dedicated by Key. Jas. McCree AW, 181V; or 182 v ana was so used until about 1830 when it was- organized as a Presbyterian church. The first minister invited to take charge Otf.it was Rev. Mfifeen.f Hillsboro, N.

The Presbytery appointed r. WtaJter, . tne- citizens sent I the Key. fcLaCtf dwell, of Sagar Creek congregation, who preached every third Sunday until his death; He was suc ceeded by the Rev. R. H. Morrison, who held service every third Sunday. After ciiurcn was regularly organized as a Presbyterian church, the Rev. A. J. Leavenworth was installed as its first regular pastor. After Mr. Leaven worth, came Rev. Thomas Owens, then came Rev. J, Mi Caldwell, who was suc ceeded " by his brotherC 1 Rev.' Haroer Mr. Freeman, who was succeeded bv the Rev. Cyrus Johnston; then came the Rev A. W. Miller, after him the Rev. Mr. Sinclair, who was succeeded by that eminent divine, the Rev. A. W. Miller, D, D., now in charge. " xu tne eariy part or tne cnurcn nis tory the Methodist denomination, of which Dr. David Dunlan was a leading member, knowing the conditions upon which the ground was given and the church built, claimed that thev had equal rights with the Presbyterians to worsmp in tne church. Charlotte was, at that time, a very small place. There were no houses except upon Trade and Tryon streets", and the church was the last building on the west end of Trade street. The town commissioners did not own one foot of land on the square donated by Capt. Davidson at the time referred to by Mr. Wilson. The front lots were owned by Capt. Davidson and Mr. Bax ter, and the back lots were owned by Ivan Alexander, a distinguished law yer in his day, who moved to Salisbury ana there died. Some of his relatives are still living in Mecklenburg and Union counties. Baxter sold the front lots to Capt. Davidson, and the back lots still belong to the heirs of Ivan Alexander, if not barred.
