They have been bambpdzled byh talk about the Farmers' Al liance is the and his being a Baptist. He first man who ever canvassed North Carolina who had the cheek "1 1 to make any religious bias a means of political mgratiation. As to! the Alliance, the farmers have by resoiu- tion declared tor iaritt itetorm. Duckery is the chief and chosen ohampion in all North Carolina !of Monopoly and Plutocracy of High er Taxation-and the Money Devil. He stands squarely upon the Chicago i-iattorm of Monopoly which de- manda higher larijf more taxation. Duckery - is the very worst enemy the farmers of North Carolina ha4. He favors a system of taxa tion that compels the farmer to pay at least eight dollars to the! Federal Government and bounty-fed Manu- t !- - ' I - -J ' i - : iactnrers, when be pays one oZotlar in taxes to the State of North Carolina, including taxes of all kinds. For a farmer to vote for Duckery because he is a farmer ia to destroy all principles and all parties. The farmers favor lighter taxes; Duckery says, no, pile it on higher. The far and mers deolare for an economical honest Government: Duckerv cries out, not so, let us spend the suj-plus in all sorts of wild appropriations and then make more surplus by mak ing the Tariff higher than ever be fore. This is the plain meaning of the Chicago platform. Duckery is a demagogue and platform is rickety and rotten. his Senator Vance said to the corres - - i. v .

Every day some Dig manuiaoiurer . ur duujo prominent Republican comes oat for Cleveland and Reform. ! Last week Representative Fitob, of New York, as we announced, left the old rotten Radical concern doing busi ness for Monopoly. He said in his letter of withdrawal: 'Mr. Blaint'i kevnote for the campaign. applied to our district, is that we are from now till November 10 accuse the Demo cratic and reform business men in Harlem, who ia piivate life are ia partnership with us in all commercial, charitable, eacial and religious affairs, of being engaged in a con niracv. insDired bv Eaeland. to ruin their own country and degrade their fellow-citi zens. I have no desire to vase pari in sucn a campbio. 1 fancy mat J&cgianu una in this district about as many adherents as Chin has, and that the -voters who will vote this fall in Harlem and Yorkville for a revision of he tariff are as sincere friends of American industry as any of us'are." Mr. Fitch is too honest and intelli gent to follow the lead of the ; Maine humbug. Hon.l Archibald Linn, of Ilartland, Maine, is out for Cleve laud and Tharman. He is a large woollen manufacturer. t He is well informed and influential. He says: 'I have been manufacturing wool now I for over forty years. Give me free wool and I will guarantee to pay my help the name waces that I have been paving and ship my goods to England and undersell all the Eoglisn manufacturers. - - ine fact is. English labor and English machine ry is far below the American standard; therefore, they cannot do the same amount of work or expect the samelwages." Jim Blaine, when Secretary of State, did not fail to mention the superiority of American workmen and machinery, j Out West it is anj nounced that a dozen . big Republi can merchants will follow the exam ple of Marshall ! Field, of Chicago, the big dry goods merohant, and support the Democratic ticket. BLAINE'S DEFENCE OF TRUSTS. While the able and honest Presi dent of the United States is using his great influence and position in the effort to break down the infa mous, damnable Trusts that eat like a cancer and consume like a confla gration, Blaine is shooting off bis mouth in their defence. This is just like Cleveland to be honest, and just like Blaine to be a j rascal. Even John Sherman sees danger in Trusts and in the Senate declares that if they cannot be suppressed in any Giber way, that the Tariff must be reduced. He and other Republicans it) the Congress have bills looking to the relief of the people from the gal ling, robbing Trusts.; But Blaine was always on the side of Combines, Trusts, Syndicates, Rings, Monopoly. He is not in his proper element when he is not speaking for thes rascally combinations to defraud yind roo tne people. &o wnen stands up now for Trusts, and uses his . great influence as the "uncrowned King" of Radi calism to uphold the Tariffnurtured Rings he is but playing his part. He will get Lis reward. I While the de cent, thoughtful portion of the conn" try will despise his demagoguery and blarney and bluster, the employers will fill his pockets with shekels. He will not go nnpaid for bis swift de fence of Steel and Timber and Iron and Sugar and Salt and Rubber and the other numerous Trusts. The Philadelphia Record says : "As the tool of monopolies who has be come rich by their favors Mr. Blaine was bound, of course, to stand up in their de fence. He could not do otherwise without offending the Carnegies and all the rest of the beneficiaries of the Tarif-fed Trusts whicti are eating up the substance of the American people. We can imagine the last words of Andrew Carnegie when thev cart ed in Scolund: 'Don't fail to stand up for ibe liessemer btcel Combination and our Structural Iron Ring, out of which I am able by bard labor to realize $1,500,000 a year, 'these are only private affairs with which neither President Cleveland nor any private citizen has a right to interfere: and. therefore, don t let the Republicans of the Sod -Us meddle with them, in imitation of the Democrats of the House. DOCKERY THE DEMAGOGUE, Dockery is in favor of the Repub lican grinding, unconstitutional and immoral War Tariff and also favors its increase. This makes him an enemy of the jeopte. Dockery is in favor of paying the Republican Vice Presidential candi date, Moses Levi, $9,000,000 of the fraudulent State bonds. This makes him an enemy to the State. Dockery is in favor of repealing the present system of County Go vernment. This makes him an ene my of the twenty eeven negro coun ties. Are these things true? So be is accused and so we believe them to be true. If we did not believe that Dockery, favors these very objeO' tionable measures we would not so! publish. He is farther accused Jo reputable prints of appealing to a large relig4 ions denomination for tbeir suDnort by proclaiming his church I prefer- ences. We do not know whether the Colonel is a member or no of the Baptist Church. But he is trying to win Democratic votes by identifying himself with the faith of the Bap tists, a denomination of Christians that are prodigiously strong in North Carolina. This shows him to be a demagogue." We never heard of anv candidate for a high office in North! Carolina before playing the role of ecclesiastical demagogue to get votes. Dookery ia again charged, and there is no doubt of the truth of the charge. with trying to use the Farm ers'. Alliance, of which he is a mem ber, and which is almost entirely composed of Democrats, to advance his own personal and political ends. He devotes no little of his time in trying to impress his hearers, as we "I - ing him because he is a farmer. Ha appeals to ttfe prejudices of the farm- era and tells them; ,what, great power they are, and that thej ought! to use it for their benent. tie is one of them, while Fowle is a law yer and has no interest in their wel fare. He abases the lawyers, al though there are three; or 'four bob tailed fellows of thai kidney running on his ticket., f 1 Will they be bamboozed by -such frothy demagogery? Tire biggest deniagogne we ever heard speak be fore the war was a! Whig farmer. The demagogues are! not confined to the bar. The most pronounced vic tim of demagoguery; now before the people is another ' farmer, and they call him Duckery. The Farmers' Alliance will not allow itself to be used by the Radi cal candidate for Governor; They are men of principle, and character for the most part and they will not lend themselves to a spouting, windy demagogue who wants them taxed to death: wh6 favors paying the Radical fraudulent tax bonds that would literally bankrupt the State; and who is willing to turn over the t naver- ftnd farmers of twentv r j seven counties to the tender mercies of the "savages" and "thieves" of Judge Russell. This is Dockery. A RADICAL UBOW1. I I . i Representative Brower, of the Greensboro District, ; Republican, is said to be a man of but little ability.' He has enough, however, to see what the Republican leaders in North Car olina have not seen -rtbat the Tariff is a monstrosity of iniquity, absurdi ty and oppression, and that the Dem ocratic Tariff bill is a High Protec tion measure leaving, the average tax at 142.29 on the $100: and that it is preferable to the present Tariff be cause it seeks to reduce about 4 per cent, the dutible goods and is, there fore, a measure of relief and in the right direction. I I For seeing what is so palpable to all men with eyes, Representative Btower is resting under the curse of such scalawag leaders as Jim Boyd, and such carpet-baggers as Tom Keogh and Protection Ball. ' Mr. Brower is a Republican. He is loyal to his party no doubt, for he ia loyal to its promises in so far as the great, grinding War Tariff is conceded. .For instance, the Re publican party in 1884, that nomina ted Blaine, the "uncrowned King" of Radicalism and the 1 Tattooed Man" of history, pledged itself solemnly in the following resolution: 4 The Republican pariy pledges itself to the tariff and to correct the inequalities of reduce the surplup. i ; Mr. Brower has bo better sense than to believe his i party was honest in this deliverance.! So when an op- portnnity occurs i'lo j vy 1 JKi UU'J liU"7 BUI pins" and "correct" some pf the gross and iniquitous "inequalities of the Tariff" he has the manliness and con- , i eistency to vote for it. For .this he is denounced and damned by the tools of Monopoly and the scaven gers of the Money Devil. We are no special admirers of Representative Brower. He is not a man of sufficient mental force and education to represent a Congres sionai uistrict, and bis services as such can be very well dispensed with. But be shows himself incomparably a wiser and better man than any of his traducers and enemies who would fasten upon the country a system that tests nnder the stigma of repro bation fixed upon it by an able Re publican Supreme Court of the Uni ted States. That highest Judicature oranaea it as "Koboery." Mr. Brower is the only Republican in all North Carolina we have heard of who has not i proved recreant to . . i bis pledge and who has remained true to his understanding of the plat- iorm oi 1884 "to correct the ine qualities of the Tariff and to reduce the surplus." If he is slaughtered because of his vote for the Mills bill of Reform he will perish honorably. He will be more esteemed in his death among men of sense and cha racter than he was when worshipping the Idol of Monopoly while living. DENSE AND PREVAILING IGNO- BANCS. An cxchaDce gives this incident in the life of the most jwidely read of all poets of American nativity : "Io Samuel Lontfellow's memoirs of his brother there is aa entry from the poet's aiary in wnicn ne lens how a 'society wo man,' at whose table he was dining one day asked him, 'Ob, Mr. Longfellow I havevou ever published a book?' This was after two-thirds of his life-work was done. Lit erary eminence does not effect much lode- . I . i ; , . ; . . . V ujcui iu tut) luiuua ui people or a certain graae. Nathaniel Hawthorne was the greatest writer of books yet born in our country. We suppose there are eix hundred thousand whites ia North Carolina who never! so much as heard of him. There are probably not twenty-five thousand who ever read a line of his immortal writings. We have no doubt that : there are hun dreds of white people in this State who never heard of George Wash ington, or Zeb Vance, or Gov. Hol- den, or any other best known man. A Raleigh physician told us abont 1875, that he could take us less than six miles from town - and show us a family who did not know who was Governer or President or anything else connected with the political fcis tory of the State. A most useful Ral eigh colporteur told us that in an eastern oounty Bertie we believe- he found a family six miles from the I -- ouk uium iruui Mie heathen, knowing nothing of God, a future state or the Redeemer. i ; ! - : .... - A Virginian chaplain in. tire 'army from Halifax, told us in the war that, be found a man m that State so ig norant that he. ha3 never heard-of - the plan of salvation through the death? of the Lord JeWer Christ. When he told him of the death of Jesus he was surprised and asked "Is he dead? What ailed him?"? This is shocking ignorance. Pedple know bat little of their pablio men, of public measures, of their Bible, or of anything really worth know ing, paBt or present. To them the High Tariff is a dark mystery and they bend theirjbaaks to the spoilers and nabobs with a submission only begotten of ignorance. People will not read. We are glad that after , so long a times "Life of Matthew Fontaine Maury, U. S. N. and C. S. N.," has been prepared and published by Scribner and Walford. It is an oc tavo, cloth, 326 pages, and is com piled by his daughter, Mrs. Diana F. Corbin. Commodore Maury was one of the really great scientific men of America. If he had been born a Yan kee instead of a Virginian his name and writings would have been known from Maine to Sin Franoisoo in every nook- and oorner, and his praises would have been in all the newspa pers, magazines jma in dooks. tie will get his deserts in the years to come in spite of a mean conspiracy in the North to omit his name and damn him by silence. " The New York Bulls forced up cotton and made a big thing of it. The Bears were glad to pay in order to escape even heavier losses. But the oorner has bursted and now the Southern cotton shippers will be likely to be injured by its sudden collapse. 8outbprt Perplexed. The good .people of Southport are no little disturbed at the appearance of scurrilous placards and caricatures of some of the leading citizens of the place, which, are posted daring the night on walls and fences abont the town. Every effort has been made to catch the perpetrators bat with out avail. The posters are torn down daily by indignant citizens on ly to reappear with glaring ef frontery the following morning. It is mentioned that two men armed with shot gans were posted one night in the leafy branches of a tree to watch a certain building, the walls of which were placarded every night with these objectionable posters, They kept close watch through the night without seeing any one, and yet when morning dawned, much to their amazement, they found fresh placards staring them In the face that had been posted daring the night. right nnder their noses. People begin to think that there is something uncanny in all this, and are awaiting further developments with no little cariosity. Sanitation Tb Beat Disinfectant.

The solution is made by taking six ounces each of the bi-chloride of mercury and muriate of ammonia, nibbing to gether well in a mortar, dissolving in a gallon of hot water and adding to it forty gallons of water.

About half-past six o'clock inj the evening, when on his return from work with his gang near the Seaside base ball grounds, where two colored clubs had been playing ball, he met a young colored man named Pete Walker for whom he had an order for arrest. Pete had been serving oat a sentence at the House.of Correction for assault and battery, and by direction of the county authorities had been f artnad put to Capt. B. L. Pearce on the Sound. Cap t Pearce, however, foand Pete so hard to manage that he told him to go back to the House of Ccrrrection, and , meeting Mr. Terry told him what he had done and to arrest Walker if he found him. When the officer met Walker yesterday afternoon and attempted to arrest him the . negro resisted, struck Terry and kicked him, and finally got hold of Terry's pistol (un loaded) and struck him a terrible blow in the face with the but end of the weapon .XTerry called on two of his gang to assist him in securing the prisoner, and coming to his aid they got Walker down and were go ing to tie him, when they were set upon by a mqb of negroes from the base ball grounds, - who rescued Walker, and as stated above, gave Terry and the two men who were as sisting him, a severe beating. The negroes having rescued ' Walker, moved off and came into the city. Terry says he followed them, hoping to meet assistance to enable him to arrest Walker, and near Seventh and Brunswick saw police officer Grant, but could not prevail upon the latter to give him any assistance, and Walker and the crowd of negroes who rescued him made their escape. Drownlac Accident. Delia Bissard, a colored woman about forty-five years of age, was drowned yesterday at Carolina Beach while bathing. The woman was in company with Richard Brown, a colored barber of this city, and ven tured too far. She was unable to swim. There was a large number of colored people on the beach looking at the bathers, but none of them seemed .to realize the dangerous position of the unfortunate woman. Mr. J. N. Borrus, a fisherman, saw the man and woman a long ways out from the shore, bat before he could launch his boat to go to their assistance the woman had disap peared. Brown succeeded in getting ashore without assistance, and about an hour after the accident the dead body of the woman was washed ashore a short distance up the beach. It was brought to the city on the re turn trip of the boat yesterday even ing and taken in oharge by rolatives of the deceased for interment. The deceased was a married woman and had several grown children. Her husband was accidentally killed seve ral years ago by being run over by a railroad train. This is the first accident of the kind that has happened at Carolina Beach since the place was opened as a plea sure resort, although thousands of people bathe there every season. The Crope.

On August 15th the clerks of the House and Senate committees on Appropriations, acting to- getber, and in accordance with the annual custom, prepared a statement of the exact condition ot the appropriation bills at that time, comparing them with aggregates of the previous fiscal year and their total' with the estimated revenues for the current fltcal year. They make the following show ing of the condition at the time named: I The regular annual appropriation bills for this year carry appropriations aggre gating $288,784,828.. The deficiency ap propriations aggregate $18,227,683; miscel laneous, including public buildings and everything not included in the sundry civil, $5,686,109; permanent annual appropria tions amount to $115,640,798; making the grand total of appropriations $428,269,520. This is an excess over last year's appropria tions of $64,054,730. The total estimated revenues for 1889, including postal receipts, is $440, 563.734, which is $12,294,213 more than is shown by the above statement of ' appropriations. Of- appropriation bills which go to make up the grand total, the army, navy and sundry civil bills were in conference, and the fortifications and general deficiency bills were before the House. Bince -August 15th the fortifica tions bill has been passed by the House, its appropriation having been reduced by $20, 500,000 below the amount which was fig ured in the above statement. There is also an item of $3,000,000 which appears both in the army bill, and the fortification bill, and which will probably be taken out of one. It, therefore, appears that so far as this preliminary statement can be taken as a criterion of ultimate results, that about $5,500,000 should be added to $12,294,213 of excess of estimated receipts over expen ditures to give the probable surplus for the next fiscal year. There are a number of public building bills in conference, action upon which may either reduce or augment these ngures. The cieras in their calcula tion, of course, took no account of the ec cumulated surplus in the treasury. Washington. Aug. 20. In the case of the New Orleans Base Ball Park Associa tian against the Washington National Base Ball Association and Wm. Widner, to re strain employment of Widner by the Na tioool Club, Judge Merrick held that the answer of Widner was not specific enough in averment, and that -complainants had not complied with the contract as claimed by Widner, and directed a decree awarding a preliminary injunction on filling an un dertaking. Washington, August 21. Interest in the situation of the government as revealed by the statement of estimated receipts and appropriations made this session has in no wise subsided. Mr. Mills supplied himself this mornlDg with all of the data obtains' ble. ' At the Capitol it is understood that the Treasury Department has been called upon for additional details Meanwhile the members interested in measures carrying appropriations which have not yet become laws, and thereby escaped the chances of revision or rejection, aie show ing much uneasiness. Washington, August 21. The United States steamship Galena, which arrived at Norfolk this morning, will take on coal and provisions and then proceed direct to Port-au-Prince, for the purpose of protec ting American interests there. . She will probably leave Norfolk Wednesday, and the length of her stay at Port-au-Prince will depecd altogether on the condition of affairs in that country. Rear Admiral Luce, commanding the North Atlantic sta tion, will not accompany the vessel, as has been erroneously published. He has trans ferred his flag to the Yantic, and that ves sel is now the flag ship of the home station The Galena is in command of Commander Chester. Y EL, LOW FB VER.

There have been no deaths for 86 hours, and none- of the patients now under treatment aro re ported dangerously ill. Six of the eight deaths which have occurred were of per sons addicted to the excessive use of in toxicating liquors, and the other two were already in poor health from other diseases when attacked by the fever. All cases are now isolated, and sanitation and disinfec tion carefully looked after. It is intended to keep up the fight against the epidemic with every means known to science.

This with other disinfectants will be used on the streets, in the houses, etc. i The citizens' committee on sanitation is going over the city a second time, with several hundred scavengers. There are now about four centres of infection; the greater part of the city being apparently free from the infection. The atmosphere seems to be purer than ever before. While the increase of new cases natur ally makes people nervous, it was expected by the authorities, who have not by any means given up hope, of controlling the disease or materially checking its ravages. Indeed, confidence is rather on the increase. It has been recommended that surveil lance be maintained over travel from the South, to intercept persons from infected parts, and the Board of Health has taken action accordingly. It is not believed that there has as yet been any cases of yellow fe ver at any point in Florida except this city, Manatee, Plant City and Tampa, which last place is now reported free from the'dis ease. Savannah, August 23. Dr. F. F. Lin coln, who was sent to Blackshear, 81 miles south of Savannah, to investigate the re ported existence of yellow fever there, re lumed to-night, and reported to the health authorities that W. O. Ballentine, route agent between Wilmington, N. C and Jacksonville, has yellow fever at Black shear. The case is a mild one. Savannah immediately quarantined against the town, and no trains which have stopped at Black shear will be allowed to enter Savannah. . Nobfolk, Va., August 22. Letters and telegrams having been received here asking about the truth of reports of yellow fever in tins city, the following authoritative statement was furnished the Associated Press this afternoon: v "Whereas, an absurd and injurious ru mor has been extensively.circulated, to the effect that one or more cases of yellow fever have occurred in Norfolk and vicin ity, we, the undersigned, most positively deny sucn statements, ana omcially and personally assert that there is not, nor has there been this summer. In this city or vi cinity, any sickness which has had the re motest semblance of yellow fever.

Action -of tbe Republican Executive ronsmlttee I - - - t At alter. of ble District In tbe J j Special Star Telegram. Gbhesbbobo, N. C, August 21. In obedience to a call issued by Chairman White, of the Republican Executive Com mittee of this Congressionafdlstrict, the said committee met here today and went into secret session promptly at 12 o'clock m, to consider and definitely decide what course I should be taken in relation to the vote of Hon. John M. Brower, in the national House of Representatives, upon the passage of - the Mills bill. The com mittee, including other prominent Repub licans from various parts of -the district. was in j session for more than five hours, during j which time four speeches were made in Mr. Brower's behalf and six against him. Excitement ran high, and the c3nfusion at onetime almost baffled description, but his friends gave the com mittee to understand, in "English unde fined, " that he was not of the stripe to down and threaten politic il death to tbe party, or parties, as the case may be, that arrogates to itself the power to take him own, whereupon, the following pream ble and resolution were passed: "Whereas, Hon. John M. Brower's vote on the Mills bill is regarded by this com mittee as unrortunate and not defensible on anv general ground: his justification that it offered to him the only opportunity he could hope to have to redeem the pledge given to his constituents in 1886 that he would devote himself in Congress to the abolition of ine to Da ceo tax is a personal rea son, based on a local fact, but it relieves the vote from the suspicion of having been cast in sympathy with the enemies of protec tion; and whereas Mr. Brower has not ten dered his resignation, the committee ques tions its authority to put up another candi date or to call another Convention. There fore, be it j "Resolved, That the whole question be left to the people, to be settled in Novem ber next." I l Many pf the more prominent Republi cans throughout this district say the above resolution relieves them from any political obligation to support Brower, while CoL James E. Boyd, of this city and a Harri son elector for the State at large says the pending fight now is between two Demo crats, and of the two be will certainly sup port Morehead, the most respectable, if he Is a Democrat. j STORM ON THE GULF. Great; Damage at New Orleana Mice and isncar Cane Crope Injured Tbe Gale at mobilePart of tbe City In undated. New Orleans, August 20. This city was visited last night by a violent and ter rific storm of wind of forty-eight to sixty miles per hour.' Great damage has been done in the city and along the river front. Several buildings were unroofed, fences were blown down, trees were uprooted, and a coal; fleet of the Pittsburg & Southern Combine suffered severely. Fifty boats aro known to have been lost. They are valued at $3,000 each. The Louisville & Nashville and Illinois Central trains were delayed by washouts. i Great damage has been done to the rice and sugar cane crops. Telegraph wires are prostrated in every direction. There has been no communication with outside points since 8 p. m. on Sunday. : The city was in darkness last night. The electric light plant was shut down on ac count of the contact of the electric wires with telephone and telegraph wires. ! Mobile, August 20. The southeast gale, which began Saturday afternoon, in creased to the velocity of fifty seven miles an hour early this morning. The waters of tu-cu a eaui-uiTM -4vr (M tow lands both east and west of here, and the Louisville and Nashville track is badly flooded south. There have been no trains to-day either way. Routes via Meridian and Selma remain open. The lower portion of the city was inun dated this morning and many stores flooded, but the damage is small. The wires being down I everywhere, no details of damage outside of the city can be obtained to-night. Mobile, August 20. Later. The flood is receding rapidly from the Louisville & Nashville track to-night, as the wind has died down and the tide is running out. Officers of the road state that washouts above the city and between here and New Orleans, are small, and that repairs can he made" to-morrow. The last passenger train in from the north arrived Sunday afternoon, but as the train could not go through the passengers were sent back by the eight o'clock night train, the last north-bound train leaving the city, and were sent around by way of Meridian. Thirteen wires are down and there is no telegraphic communication except over the New York quadruple!. No communica tion can be had with New Orleans, but as the storm centred in Louisiana and as the wind must have blown at least sixty miles an hour and straight up Rigolets Into Lake Foncnarlram, there is good reason to be lieve that the whole back portion is flooded to an exceptional degree. The tide in the gulf was very high, and the back-water was as heavy as in the famous flood of 1861, when New Orleans was badly inun dated. M1SS1SSIFF1 VALLEY. -Keavy and continued Balne Serlone Damage Tbreatened to tbe Cotton Crop. : Memphis, August 20. Heavy rains have fallen all over thus section of country du ring the past three days and still continue. All the small streams, especially to the south, era bank full, and in many local! ties have overflowed and flooded valuable farming lands. Telegraph wires between Memphis and New Orleans have been prostrated, and only very meagre news can be obtained. A local storm of unusal severity swept over Coffeeville, Mississippi, to-day, doing considerable damage, and If the .present spell of weather continues much longer, very serious damage will be sustained by tbe cotton crop. Reports coming in show that raina have been general and disastrous in their nature. Last week a drought was threatened in many localities, out now floods are feared, and more serious injury win roiiow. The Western Union Telegraph Company to-night report all wires leading to New Or leans down, which city is cut off from any telegraphic communication with Memphis. In the vicinity of Yicksburg and Yazoo valley the rainfall has been unprecedented. and seiious injury to cotton and corn has resulted. THE BAGGING TRUST.
