During the evening, after his arrival, Cms' Band gave a serenade under his window, which, the Governor requested us to say, if it was intended for him, he desired to tender his un­qualified acknowledgments. He said he enjoyed the music infinitely, but not snowing for a cer­tainty that it was intended for him, he kept still, and betwixt the sweet strains of music and the contemplation of the ridiculous dilemma of essay­ing to acknowledge it, and finding it intended.for some one else, be was most highly pleased andj entirely happy..

(Erom the boston Jouxnat] The S t Louis Democrat of the 12th inst states

that on the day previous, the river rose steadily at that point, and at night seemed to be swelling more rapidly than before. The levee from one end to the other was entirely submerged, aod in many places the water was dashing into the store doors. -The current was as swift as a mill race, bearing on its turgid and tossing waves, immense piles, of drift wood and all manner of floating ma­terial. During the day. a steamer was dispatched to rescue the inhabitants of Qahokia, an old French settlement on the Illinois shore just below S t Louis, which was completely innnndated. The inhabitants, twenty-five or thirty in number, were found in the most distressing condition, occupy­ing the upper stories and garrets of their bouses, not a single lower fioor being out of the water, while the buildings were in momentary danger of being swept away.

The continued rise of the Mississippi at S t Lou­is had given occasion for Serious apprehensions for the safety of the dykes of the city and the opposite Bide of the river, and active exertions were making to strengfatben them.

T h e Poison of S w i l l M i l k Expla ined .

The swill milk investigation is proceeding in New Xork. Dr. FRAHCIS, an eminent physician, in his testimony, thus clearly illustrated, not only the poisonous- character of the milk, but of the beef of the cows; Ice 1 They live in a state somewhat analagons to de­lirium tremem. Then- stomachs and livers be­come diseased, ulcers and tubercles appear, and the tails and hoofs fall off. Hia attention was called to the subject twenty-five years since. It had been discussed and decided upon by medical men, and was in the books,' Medical men expe­rienced great difficulty in treating chudremfed on swill milk; it did hot contain pure and healthful nourishment; he had heard that a hogshead of it would not make butter. The beef of such animals is not good for food. If the Aldermen were fed upon it, their numbers would rapidly diminish.— Cooks have been obliged to leave the kitchen by reason of the nau&eous odor from cooking swill-fed meat, E e knew repeated instances of children made sick by swill milk.

x>r. A . K. Oardncr, w physician, had examined the subject, and considered swill milk the great cause of infant mortality. He knew, from his own knowledge, that children have been made severe­ly ill by bad milk.

H e had seen cowa in the Sixteenth street sta­bles so far diseased that they were hardly able to stand up; after death you can easily run a knife through the large bones, which, in a healthy state, would be solid. The swill is a powerful stimulant, and it is this, combined with the confined air and other circumstances, that makes the disease.

and. charged a want of gallantry op the. Senate, (Mrs. Gaines was in the gallery during the de­bate.).

The. Naval Appropriation Bill was discussed, and the appropriation of $100,000 for the Pensa-cqla dry dock stricken out

Mr.Malloryof Florida, from the Naval Gom-m(ttee, reported an amendment for the construc­tion often new steam sloops-of-war, viz: five of 12 feet draft, four of 14 feet, and one paddle-wheel steamer of 8 feet draft, at an aggregate

,Of$l,2RQ,000. I Mr. Hale of New Hampshire moved to strike

out the four of 14 feet draft, leaving the qthers. Mr. Bell of Tennesae supporting tiie proposi­

tion, made some sarcastic remarks, asking where were the .war anirits who excited ns so much a few days ago. Where was the Senator from Geor­gia, (Mr. Toombs,) who had wanted a war with England any time these ten years past? Where was the Senator from Illinois, (Mr. Douglas,) whose bill to clothe the President with extraor­dinary power lies on the table 1 Where wss the Senator from New Hampshire, (Mr, Hale,) who could not agree with the wise and moderate conn-eels of the Chairman of the Foreign Committee (Mr. Mason)? These war Bpirits have left no mar­gin for any Senator following in their wake ex­cept to resolve that the President shall give or­ders to capture the whole British Navy. _ His (Bella) course was to prepare gradually and silent­ly for a contest, should it ever come, with that great and arrogant power, but never to oso.bra-vado.

Mr. Brown of Mississippi also urged the pres­ent increase of the Navy. Bold words, such as had been used, require to be followed by bold deeds. Now is the time to increase our ships, when the credit of the country is good, for in a war with England we must borrow at ten or twen­ty per cent He would have voted wr twenty additional ships, instead of ten; for. although he did not seek a war with Great Britain, he would be prepared to jnalnt»,n the honor of the coun­try.

Mr. Toombs of Georgia replied in the same f train aa his former speech, that the TJnited States Can whip the world.

Mr. Hammond of South Carolina did not enter­tain this as a war measure, but as a measure in-dispensebty necessary for our interests as a great commercial nation. Referring to the tone of the recent speeches, be said we cannot build a Navy, like Aladdin's Palace, in a night We cannot raise ships by resolutions of Congress. To raise an Army you have but to light up the fires from the hill tops; but the construction, equipment and training oi a Navy, is the work of time. By looking at other countries, we find (he deficiency of our Navy, compared with our commerce. Den­mark, Sweden, and other small States, have Na­vies equal or superior to us.

Every stump orator in the country insists on taking Cuba, and wiping out Spain. Yet Spain has a larger Nary than outs. He (Hammond) felt these insults in the Gulf as if he had been stricken in the face. He could not be content with a mere apology, and hoped that our force in the Gulf will, either with or without orders, cap­ture or sink one of the offending vessels. But these additional sloops are not as a measure of war with Great Britain. He would meet that is­sue when it came.

Mr. Douglas of Illinois considered that they should first decide what they were going to do respecting British outrages, before saying what they win do with the Navy. Are the Senate wil ling to confer power on the Executive to revenge and repel the outrages, by reviving, as his bill now on the table asks, the Northeastern act of 1839 ? If they are ready to meet the question of British aggression, do it on its own merits, with­out overlaying it with resolutions respecting the Central American Republics.

Every enemy on the face of of the earth IB de­fied by tho. Committee's resolution, except one, and she the first Because Great Britain has committed great outrages upon us, therefore we will turn round and whip Mexico, Nicaragua, Cos-' ta Rica, or punish the Chinese. W e havo been told that we will avenge these Insults when we get ready. But when can we be ready to repel an Insult, except when it is given. These repeat­ed outrages by different ships and different offi­cers, In various parts of the Gulf, are not acciden­tal, but the'result of orders from Great Britain. If we are to submit, say no more; but, if we are* not to submit to insults, then vote the bill con-ferring power on the President Mr. Douglas re­viewed the circumstances of the Boundary dis­pute, showing the unanimity with which Congress then acted, and which he now called on them to emulate. '

Mr. Mallory protested against having this meas­ure regarded as a war measure. It was recom­mended by the Secretary of the Navy before these outrages were committed. He reiterated the sen­timents he expressed in a former speech, respect­ing the aggressions.

JX». JTnnnmAy -of Maryland took t h e n a e w m w as Mr. Hammond. He also pointed out the de­fenceless Condition of the Atlantic seaboard.

Mr. Wade ot Ohio made a forcible speech, ask­ing the Senate to pause ere plunging into a war, which would be a war of extermination of one or the other power. He concluded by moving that twenty sloops instead of ten be built

Mr. Seward of New York explained bis course in the recent war debate. He was not one of those who were willing to indicate that any ex­planation could be given short ofa total aband­onment of the right' of police on the seas, "and he t . J M , - « U U » » 1 i».*n< t.tJ'WWiA-lra! T?» irtarl Tin ides"th*tr£he'BriVi9h Government wiU Sustain or sanction the outrages. If they do, then itis time t6 meet and redress them. The' Senator from Illinois -baa made on attempt, b y * biUyto anti­cipate the reply from Great Britain; but the country and Congress is against that proposal, and it lays on the table. ' '

He (Seward) had wished, with a contrary-View, to extend tile session till explanations can be had, or the country put in an aggressive attitude, it need be. These ten Bloops'Ot-war cannot be tak­en as a war'measure; They add but1 a'hundred gnus to the Navy. He agreed with the Senator from Georgia,' that the country waa-Tleitar' in a better attitude for warthan now, either ''for de­fense or-aggresaion; We began1 the Revolution with out'-ah A*myot-Navy; and WB commenced the last waK With a total revenue of $16,000,000, while to-day we can "have $80,000,000.- • We have all the elements of defense; 'and no longer that weakness which invites insult) - Our national characterforhonor, moderation, committing no injustice, and submitting to no wrong, is stronger thaia were Oarbar's legions on the plains' Of Pnar-salla, or'than a navy that would cover the Ger­man Ocean. • • • • - "

The motion was carried—19 yeas to 15 nays* Mr. Pugb moved that the franking privilege oj

members of Cofagresa be abolished from the 4th o March next

Agreed to—yeas 38, nays 4. Mr. Foster tben moved to further amend that

the franking privilege of the President and heads of departments! be likewise aboliaqed. Lost

Mr. Bewardl moved that all matter passing through the mails be pre-paid, excepting newspa­pers and periodicals to regular subscribers, and foreign matter. This had virtually the effect of abolishing all frahklng.

Agreed to—(-23 to 20, but was subsequently lost on re-conaideration, whereupon Hr. Hamlin of Maine moved that all laws conferring the frank­ing privilege1 be repealed. Lost—26 against 20. ' ;

Mr. Wilson >of Massachusetts moved that from March 4, 1869, the printing of all postage stamps, blanks, warrants, etc., be given to the lowest bid­der, which was adopted ; Mr. Slidell of Louisana amending that all printing for the executive de­partments, arid Mr. Brown of Mississippi that the existing contracts, be reserved, neither of l which suggestions prevailed.

Among other amendments which/wore adopt-' ed was one for the payment to the Collins Steam­ship Company of $147,780, for balance withheld by the Post Office Department, less $115,000 due to the United States.

An amendment was also adopted repealing the present arrangement of advertising the letter list In the newspaper of the largest circulation, and opening the advertising to the lowest bidder.

Finally the] bill was passed—80 against 14.. The bill making appropriation for collecting the

revenue was taken up. Mr. Wilson of Mass. spoke strongly in support

of reducing the army of Customs officers, and showing many instances where they were super* fluous.

Mr. Hunter of Va. admitted that there were too many officers, and was willing to apply the knife; but the department could not go on now without the appropriation sought '

The amenetnent, which reduces the expenses half a million of do liars, agreed to.

The debate! was enlivened by a personality be* tween Mr. Wlilson and Mr. Gwin. Mr. Wilson eaid that tho Senator from California talked of demagogueism. The State of California always had her hand] in the Treasury up to the. elbow.— If the Senator (Gwin) alluded to him, he would only say he would rather be a demagogue than* thief. I - :•

Mr. Gwin-4-Does the Senator apply that term specifically to me, or only to the collection of rev­enue.

Hr. Wilson—I have no explanation to make-Mr. Gwin-i-if he applies it to me, he is a slan­

derer, calumniator and coward. Mr. Wilsod made no reply. The bill whs then passed, and the Senate ad­

journed.

HOUSE.—The House went into committee on the Senate's amendment to the Army. bill.

The House concurred generally in .the action, of the Committee of tho Whale, 8trjkingout;tb.e appropriation) of $1,252,000 for fortifications, and agreeing to the amendment to repeal alllaws.au-thoriziug the «ale*f forts or reservations' which have, or mai become useless for military purpo­ses.

SENATE.—Committees, of Conference were ap­pointed on the four a^rppjfiatbti hills, to amend ments of which the House had disagreed.

The Indiana election cases were, considered.

HOUSE.—Mr. Harris of Illinois moved to take np the Maryland contested election of White against Harris. Negatived—87 against 97.

The House took a recess, till 6 o'clock. On re-assembling they considered the Senate's

amendments to the Post Office Appropriation bill. r'"

Both Houses of Congress were engaged until a late hour Friday night with reports of Commit­tee of Conference qn the appropriation bills.

A million dollars were appropriated for fortifi­cations in various parts of the country, and Cus­tom Houses.

The House refused to concur in the Senate's amendment, increasing the rate of postage, and abolishing the franking privilege; and agreed to the amendment to give the Post Office printing to the lowest bidder.

After a struggle over the reports of the Con­ference Committee and the Naval bill, both Hous­es adjourned without definite action.

SATcaoAr, Cane 12. SINATE.—The consideration of the Indiana elec­

tion case was resumed, and the report of the Judiciary Committee that Messrs. Bright and Fitch are entitled to their seats, was adopted.

The Senate refusing to concur with the House in its amendment to the Naval bill for ten steam sloops-of-war, instead of five, another Committee of Conference was appointed.

The Indiana Deficiency bill was passed. The fifteen million loan bill was received from

the House and passed. The bill for the relief of the captors of the brig

Caledonia, in the war of 1812, was passed by 20 against 9.

The bill granting pensions to Mrs. Gaines and Mrs, Jones was reconsidered and divided into two bills, botb of which were passed.

Mrs. Jones is*granted fifty-two dollars a month-during her widowhood, and Mrs. Gaines fifty dol­lars a month during fife.

The House bill for the carriage of the mails from S t Joseph's, Missouri, to Placerville, California, passed by 29 against 17.

On motion of Mr, Hunter oi Virginia, the Sen­ate agreed to the report of the Conference Com­mittee on the bill for the collection of the reve­nue, and the bill passed.

Mr. Toombs of Georgia, from the Conference Committee on the Post Office Appropriation Bill, reported that the Committee had been unable to agree, and that the bill had been laid upon the table of the House.

Mr, Hunter Of Virginia moved to take up the 116,000,000 Loan BUI, with the House amend­ment, to make it f 20,000,000.

The motion was agreed to, and the bill passed as amended, by 24 against 21.

Adjourned.

Hoosx.—A message was received from the President, in which he says that it is his indis­pensable duty to call the attention of Congress to the condition of the treasury. On the 19th day of May the Secretary estimated that-f 87,000,000 would probably be required- for the first two quarters-of the next fiscal year. This will not 'include such amounts as may be appropriated over and above the estimates then submitted, and the probable deficlencj^cannot be ascertained till the appropriation and private bills shall be finally passed. He recommends Congress to provide the necessary means before the adjournment— The failure to do so would be a disgrace which should not fall en the country.

The Loan bill was then taken up. , Hr. Burlingame, of Mass., speaking on the

subject of the British outragesin the Gulf of Mex-•jco, eaid the Senate had acted-and the represen­tatives of the people should not remain s i lent— There could be no doubt of these outrages. There had been more than thirty of them within six

.weeks; against the law ef nations as expounded by Webster and ^Calhoun, and decided by Story and Stowell. The doctrine was that on the sea every nation was equal and every flag which-symbolized an honest nationality sacred. Pirates could be taken where found; but our people are not pirates and therefore had been outraged.— Those who committed these outrages had orders, or they had no t It was an act of war. If .not, they were robbers. The administration said, wait and negotiate. There was nothing to. ne­gotiate. I t would cast donbton our courage and cause. I f we sunk, the ships, or brought them into port, it would be no cause of war. England should thank us for vindicating the law. The Administration, he feared, was not up to the mark. It was 54.40 or fight and then back down, over and over again. He saw this in .the President's answer to the call of the Honsensin the letter from Secretary Cass to -Hr. iDailas—in orders to the Golf squadron as general as those in the Walker case, under which Chatard was re­called for not doing what Paulding was condemn­ed for doing in the same waters—in the resolu­tion of the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela­tions, which was pointless and aimless—and, above all, in the request for power to attack the Central American States.

Why not ask for power against England? Why not use that already possessed f If there was power to use the marines to shoot down the citizens of Washington, was there not power [ against a foreign foe t If Walker conld be .taken in Hicaragua, could not an enemy who invaded oar soil? He said the President used his powers to trample down the rights of American citizens at-home, but has not strained i t to protect us from-a foreign foe. Our people were jealous of. power, but would grantvevery dime and every matt to vindicate the honor of the country. The fbrelgn polioy of the country.*** weak a i d vas« cillating.

Theaanonncementof the almost unanimous re- * election, by the New Hampshire Legislature, of John P, Hale tothe United StatesSenate,

Although the names of several worthy compet­itors were-presented for the office, it was obvious that the selection of any other successor wonld

- - ' - ' ''" and. efficient service to his constituency, and to the canse of fjcee labor and free territory, attain­ing JSupositjon of usefulness and honor peculiar to himself. . .

Thernairi significance, of Mr. Hale's re-election is the recognition ft gives to the principle of re­taining those officers whose publio course has proved eminently acceptable to their constituents. By a perversion of the doctrine of rotation in of­fice, it has been too much the custom of the northern states to dismiss their servants just at the time when their experience has enabled them to discharge their duties with the greatest success and efficiency.

Without objecting to the reasonable enforce­ment of this rule of rotation, we cannot but think that the rewarding of eminent fidelity and service by repeated manifestations-of popular confidence, would tend equally to the benefit of the electors, and to an improvement in the character of their representatives. A large part, of the triumphs of the South inthe struggle for sectional domination, is due to the parliamentary skill, acquired during a long lease of official responsibilities, other Con­gressmen. GeorgeiWp Jones, of Tenn., Letcher, of Va., Cobb, of Georgia, are not naturally supe­rior in natural capacity to some of their Congress­ional peers from the Norttj, but whom they so readily surpass or cireumwntt This superiority is but the natural effect'of-the systen of making the term of Represetative' Service a term during gpod behavior. It may be advantageous to de­rive instruction from an opponent, and if the North expects to cope successfully with the sec-tionalists of the South, in the contest for its con­stitutional rights, it must, to some extent, imitate their victorious tactics.

We are, therefore, gratified to observe that the Republicans of the legislature, in nominating Mr. Hate, emphasized the act by rejecting a resolution offered by Mr. Clement March, approving the com­monly received doctrine of rotation^ in office.— Tbey have recognized a principle which is auspi­cious of their future ascendancy.

as i t was, has been hailed as of vital and importance to the South. It was naturally sup­posed that, with the niarvelous progress made by Texas, the contemplatod-divMon-WODld.b*accom-pushed in the course of some ten or twelve years, and -that the-South would be-materially strength­ened-by,tha>addition offix,more members tober representation in the TTmted-States Senate, -per­haps there are few of our readers who suspect that at this time 'there is serious danger of the utter defeat'of SQBjhero hopesjand- agpirations touching Texas, and that in the very heart o f the South, in the region of all others best adapted to the successful cultivation of Southern products, and to the consequent remunerating employment of slave labor, a feeling-of settled opposition to. Slavery.exists-which, u not counteracted, will n¥-timately neutralize the entire benefit conferred by the act of I860, sand incorporate the largest, finest and moat fertile part of Texas into the family of J FreeStatea. P " I

We have recently conversed with an intelligent and observant gentleman, who has spent many years in Texas, and has traveled all over the northern and western portions of that State. He informs us tBat throughout those sections of the country the immigration is nearly entirely derived from foreigners, of whom seven-eights are Ger­mans. Excellent agriculturists, hardy and pa­tient tillers of the Boil, sober, temperate, industri­ous, peaceful, and obedient to law; this popula­tion in many respects cannot be surpassed, but they are from birth, breeding, and habits of thought, invincibly hostile to slave labor. Not one in a thousand owns a negro, and there are whole tiers of counties in certain parts of Texas, which cast, in the aggregate, many thousands of votes, where one may travel many a day and scarcely see a black skin or hear the accents of of the English tongue. There is very little inter­course for commercial purposes between these people and the inhabitants of eastern and south­ern Texas. There are no available means of rea­dy and easy communication, no railways, and the ordinary roads are exceedingly primitive in con-stiuction, and frequently rendered impassable by bogs and marshes. The industry of the German population, is peculiar. It is easily satisfied, and is not of the vigorous and energetic character" of the Anglo-Saxon race. It is not adventurous and enterprising. I t does not perpetually seek for improvement The Germans of Texas are satis 6ed to till their abundant lands, to raise live stock, to provide every desirable comfort for their fami­lies, and to live the tranquil and unostentatious life of their forefathers. The lands they cultivate, and millions of acres more, are unsurpassed in fertility. How is it, then, that they have remain­ed in a great measure unsettled by American planters ! Simply because the latter will not em­igrate to a country distant from the center of com­merce, with few and imperfect avenues, and these at certain seasons almost hermetically closed.— The American who purchases a section of land in Texas calculates—to use a national term—to raise cotton. OH sugar, and make money. He will avoid the selection of any spot, however productive, whence the products of hia labor cannot reach a market The German, on the other hand, buys land that himself and^ his family may posssess a cheap, substantial .and comfortable homestead, and rarely looks beyond this main point Hence the.region referred to is rapidly filling up with Germans, who outnumber the Americans in the proportion of ten to one. Our informant states, as the result of personal inquiry and observation, that if no marked change should occur before two years elapse, Texas will be divided into four States —one slaveholding, and the others free.

. [Prora the Bt -Lpttlt BepobUcan, June 18th.] The river rose more rapidly y'eBteroay than at

any time for the last three weeks. All the upper rivers seenr to have combined to send forth their largest bodies of water, and at sundown last eve­ning the whole.of our broad levee veas covered with water, and the cellars of the houses on Front street were filled to the first fioor. Horses, wa­gons and drays were constantly employed in the water in conveying freight to the few steamboats leaving port, aud many of the cross streets lead-tag from fpe 'igyer were filled with produce of va­rious kinds. Bloody Island is nearjy deserted by the-inhabitants, while the last of the citizens of Hlinoistown were-busily employed yesterday in removing themselves and their effects to this city.

Only a few of the houses in Hlinoistown are out .of the water, and some frame bouses were upset by the violence of the current, a crevasse having beennwdeiin. the nraghborhpod of Brooklyrr*— The rear of Illinoistown forms" a great lake. The .town of Cahokia is submerged, and many of the 'inhabitants were rescued from their houseB and brought this city last evening.. From the upper Mississippi, we bear that Alexandria, Marion City, Lagrange, Canton, and other places on both sides of the river, are completely Burrounded with wa­ter, and great destruction of property must follow. A lake in the vicinity of Muscatine was so com­pletely filled with water by the heavy rains that > it burst asnnder the artificial embankments, and the water went rushing through the streets, fill-

,ing the cellars, and doing much damage to the sugar and other articles contained in them. At S t Genevieve, the " Big Field " is by this time pretty well cqvered with water, and the crop of

1 corn will be destroyed. A vast amount of property will be lost by this

flood. That in the American Bottom, and the lowlands along the river will be very great; hut, unless (he rain ceases now, and an opportunity is afforded for corn planting, the crops everywhere will be cut short The wheat is already" suffering, and unless fair weather comes ioon, and the grain is allowed to mature, this crop, instead of being a prolific one, will be exceedingly indifferent both •ftaBJB&fAd Quantity, Tli<£ aejuto^'flejdaate overrun, with, the arims.worm^ m some^nefgTfbori hoods, and axe likely to Bustain great' injury.— Altogether the prospect is very dismal and dis­couraging*. • 1 S . :

WASnrsGTOH, June 16. The Senate confirmed to-day all the nomina­

tions of the President, including that of Judge Faine as Marshal of Kansas. Much of the session was occup ied in the consideration of the Indian treaties.

The Ocean Postage bill appropriates $346,500 for the transportation of the mails from New York to Liverpool, with a proviso that there be paid therefrom so much as may be required to procure the transportation of the mails on such days as the Collins steamers may fail to take them from New York. Out of this same appropriation is to be paid $16,767 for outward trips from New York to Liverpool in February and April, 1867, and February, March and April, 1858, when the Collins line failed to perform the service, and a further sum of $35,000, or as much as may be necessary to enable the Postmaster General to procure the transportation of the mails from New York to Liverpool and back* on the 24th of April, 8th and 22d of May, and 6th and 19th of June, 1858, if the Collins line fail to perform the ser­vice on those days $261,000 is appropriated for the mails from New York to New Orleans, Char­leston, Savannah, Havre, Cbagrea aad back ;, $328,850 for the mails from Panama to California Oregon and back; $122,000 for the mails between San Francisco and Olympia; $22,400 for the mails on Paget Sound; $230,000 for the mails from New York via Southampton or Cowes to Havre; $60,000 for the mails between Charles­ton and Havana, and §100,000 for the mails across the Isthmus. It is not lawful for the Postmaster to make any steamship or other new contract for conveying the mails on sea for a longer period than two years, nor for any other compensation than sea and inland postages. He is authorized to cause the mails to be transported between the United States and by any ! lines for port or ports by steamsh ips, paying therefor, if by an Ameri­can vessel Bea and inland postage, and if by a foreign vessel sea postage only. Preference is always to be given to an American over a foreign steamship, when departing from the same port for the same destination, within three days of each other.

The assessed valuation in 1857 was nearly $2,000,000, but the papers say this conveys no distinct idea of the actual loss of capital or of-loss sustained by the-Illinois Central Railroad Company in^actual improvements in Cairo. The last dispatch report­ed the water still rising.

ST. LOUIS, Jane 18. Accounts of the flood at Cairo are said to be

much exaggerated, and the damage will not be near so great as has been reported.
