From a letter dated Memphis, Maren 1.3tb, (says thc Cheleston Courier,) wVmsk? tl?; following extruct : i; We are here tu the midst of a mighty freshet that affords one.oi the grandest ?pep tades, but fills the spectator with sympathy Tor thousands of.peoplc living QU the rivers from Pittiburg to New Orleans. Thc scenes aloug fha Mississippi, as vhey -present them selves to the travelers-eu tho steamers, are pitiable. " Thc river averages 10 mile* wide iron? Memphis to Vicksburg, (a distance of '?Si). miles,) and thc people have taken refuge in tho upper storied of their houses, oraip-.m temporary ti >ovs built above the waler iu their cabins, while such of the .poor animals as have escaped drowning line the levees only a hand breadth above the waler, aud with nothing to cat. Many boat* are ' ?aid up,' bc-*ag uuabic to land anywhere ox trai.Sact business, and in consequence thousands of peop'e v innot get away from their miserable aud dangerous homes. It if propeled here lo day lo send a ?teamer and ?argos, to re lieve the Suffering as far as possible. - Our Little Hock Road, from the Mississip pi to thc St. Francis, is covered with v?ler from two to fi teen f-et above ths rads, r> dis tance Ot' forty miles. We are pro*ccw:i:>g the work of grading, however, on thc ?>idd!e di vidion, from the St. Francis to the White Hiver/' The Evansville (Ind.) Journal says: . It is really painful to witne33 thc great overflow that ?ow prevails on the Ohio river. From Evansville almost to Newbarg the wil i waste of waters has no visible boundaries. The waters are pouriD-r across the neck of laud between Evansville and Henderson with great violence. Enterprise is totally sub merged, but tho people wisely provided for such a contingency bj' building their houses on stilts about a foot higher than high water mark, and are ia no special danger of being washed away. No intercourse, however, can be held between tho neighboring houses ex cept in boats. Taylorsport, Rjme, Aiton and the lower portion ot Counelton were inunda ted, and the residents were comjsdied to move ti? thc second storj*. Hundreds of houses aioug the shore are partially submerged, and the inhabitants have been compelled to vacate.' In many-cases houses arc standing ou a small. elevation entirely surrounded by water, the - residents having no means of intercourse with the rest of mankind except in boats. There are no river banks from Louisville to Cairo. On Green river, also, an unprecedented flood prevails, inundating nearly all the towns, and villages. .The towns of Calhoun and Rumsey aie submerged. The Knoxville Commercial says that East Tennessee is literally covered with mud. The Ilolston river is ever its hanks, and in: m ease beds of Hood wood are lloating by. Confiscation of Southern Public Lands. The Philadelphia North American, which now appears a3 the most rabid advocate for confiscation, says : ': However Republican's may disagree res pecting Ale Stcvens's Confiscation Bill, there is one point in it upon which they- ought all ? to be able lo agre We allude to the first I section, wherein it is provided that the lands 1 of ten Rebellions States shall be confiscated. This is a matter that ha3 hitherto escaped the attention of all public men except Mr. Ste- | ven?, and we doubt not that many who read \ his speech will feel surprised that no one ba$ I anticipated him in this capital method of) making thc Gulf States pay us to some ex tent, for the injuries they inflicted upon us during the ir. In the case of Texas, to which he calls especial attention, there should be no dela}' whatever in availing ourselves of the Opportunity to confiscate the remainder of that public domain which f-he reserved to herself at the time of her annexation asa guarantee for the payment of her debt-that very debt that was subsequently forced upon U? as a national burden by the compromise of lboO. " Of all ?he Stages concerned in tho late rebellion. Tex?! escaped with the least punish ment. All thc atrempts m ado lo carry the war into her Territory proved abottive, and the long aud desperate struggles in the South west were mainly sustained upon rcsourc-s derived from her. The contraband trade wiih Europe through Mexico wrs carried on by her. The droves of beeves apon which thc rebel armies fed were furnished by her. And at the close of the war, after all the rebe! ar mies elsewhere bad surrendered, the Texas rebellion was still intact. These people, hav ing felt little or nothing of the horrors of the war, have remained incorrigibly disloyal and defiant, end although we have all recognized that some punishment ought to be used to bring them to their senses, none that was feasible sould be thought of. rtIt was asserted by those who profess to know, that Texas bas profited by the war to Puch an extent that her population is now double what it was in tho year ISM. Thith er have gone the very worst rebe,l3 from other Htates, and especially from Missouri", Tonnes ree and Arkansas." ,; The State hada large loyal population when the war broke out,, especially among j the Germans of Western TeX'as, but a fright ful reign cf terror was est^' ii-shed to crush out Unionism, and numberless patriotic citi zens fell victims to it." " It would, therefore, be nothing more than right that we should punish this State for her treason by confiscating her public lands, and the more so, because then these lands, would be opened to actual'settlers free of cost, under the operations of the homestead law, which cannot otherwise bc the case. By the | supplement to that law, enacted by the late j Congress, all the public lands owned by the I National Government in the Gulf States were thrown open toactt al settlers under the Act. It is now proper to resume possession of all Jand3 held by the rebel States, in order to extend to all such the same provisions, so that we may encourage thc increase of that independent class of small landholders which has been made the crying need of thc aris tocracy-ridden South. .'Mr. Stevens estimates the amount of I lands that will fail into the bauds of the Na- J tiona! Government by this provision at two hundred millions c>f acres, an item decidedly worth considering in these ii:nes, and suffi cient to enable us to create a grent element in the South antagonistic to' the plantation aristocracy. We cannot refrain from express ing our regret that this "first section of the pending Bill cannot be made into a separate Act, and passed at once upon its own merits." SAD ACCIDENT.-We regret to announce a sad accident which occurred a few days since at the Steam Mill of Messrs. Mabry ?fe Mc Cracken, and which resulted in tie death of a freedman under the following distressing cir oaauitances : Whilst superintending the saw, tht boy inadvertently ploc?M his hand in its re*ch, and his arm, body and head were at . once drawn in aud shockingly mutilated.

The end of the first ses-ion of the 40th Congress is drawing nigh, and the poteni Sen a'j>rs a'id Representatives now Sud lime to discuss the important question ofan.uniform, to be worn by persons in the diplomatic ser vice of the United Spates. In the House, on Monday last, the Seriate joint resolution- concerning thc d:plomi*(ic uniform was takeu up, and thefbilowing-edi fying remarks were made : Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, thought the bill ? should not pass, unless Congress designated j some dress that sh-mid be worn. He related an incident which occurred to one of our Consuls to Brazil, to .show that the ignoring of all court dress pT:iced gentlemen iu a sin gular and sometimes ridiculous position. He thought all should be allowed to abide by thc laws and usages of a country to which they might be sent. He held furthermore that it often occurred that a failure to comply with the usages of a country often had a tendency . to impair the usefulness of the Ministerand of other diplomatic officers. Mr. Judd, of Illinois, who was for a time Minister, from this country to Berlin, said that the representatives of all countries were more or less embarrassed at a f >reign court. The Turk, for instance, wore the dress in which he appeared before his own sovereign ; but the troublt' with the representatives cf this Gov ernment was that no dcess had ever been prescribed, and he thought all difficulty would be obviated if Congress would lay down some rule of dress. . Mr. Covode, of Pennsylvania, moved to amend by a proviso, that no diplomatic ageut should wear any dre-s except such as shall be prescribed, and fashioned, and out by the head tailor of this Governu'snt^ who now presides over it. [Laughter.] Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts, said he would accept that amendment provided the gentle man (Mr. Covode) would give the officer named the control of all other departments of the Government. Mr. Noell, of Missouri, moved to amend by providing that the court dress of American representatives abroad shall consist of a cocked hat, looped up with tho Atnetican eagle ; a swallow-tail coat, with the stars and stripes embroidered oh the tails; butternut knee-breeches ? la Franklin ; yellow stock ings ; square-toed shoes ; a buckskin vest, while ou one side and black on the other, in dicative of the fact t-hat there's no distinction on account of color, and a.rosette bearing the inscription, " Economy is wealth." The reading of this amendment created a good deal of laughter, and the Speaker de clared it out of order. Mr. Nicholson, cf Delaware, thought an exception should be made in relation to the Barbary States and similar Governments, where a man's influence wa3 measured by the amount of tinsel he wore and the pomp and circumstance he assumed. Mr. Brooke, of New York, said the bill al I >wed none to wear uniforms except such men a3 bad served iu the army or navy of thc United States, and he thought this making a 1 wrong distinction. Mr. Banks contended that theinghest badge 1 of honor that an American who was entitled to it cared to wear was the uniform of an oin cer, for it ?howed that he had imperilled his | life for his country. . * He wauled the country represented abroad < by Americans, aud this could not bi done . uuless the dress of an American gentleman was. worn. There might be courtiers who would sue?r ; but there were courtiers who ' hud always?ncered at ail that was American. 1 Tho country bad lived down all these sneers, ? and they would continue to live them down, i and the time would come when it would be i the highest badge of honor to appear atcourt , ia the dres3 of an American citizen. QCITMAN-The Bawler, published at Quit ' man,'in Georgia, calls atteiitiou to the flour ishing condition of that place, and says: Les3 Ihatfsevcn years ago, the ciip of our 1 present prosperous, thriving, and beautiful town was a pine forest. Wealth, enterprise, energy and muscle have been lavish in their expenditures, and we can now point to the ?result-the .uost prosperous interior town in the State. Last year, in the neighborhood of one hundred buildings wero erected-some of them magnificent brick 'structures-.iud the mechanic's saw, hammer and plain con tiuue to notify us, from early mom till dewy ' eve, that tho work of improvement and pro* 1 gress still goes on.

I WnoLEiAij: TRADE or CUAIU.ESHOX.-The Cuarleston A?trs?8&y8 : The impression that New York was the only commercial city in the baited States, is ' gradually leaving the brains of the few who, were deluded iuto a visit to that metropolis' ' with the hope of purchasing cheaper goods. 1 These wanderers are now fast returning to < their finst love,.and have become convinced that Charleston is not what her enemies re present hrer, but that she still possesses the same reputatioa and tho same clements of | success that made her sn popular as a market | in by-gone years. The old houses are grad- , ually bemg revived, and even tho e lately -, formed aro filled with familiar face*.. The wholesale merchants of Charleston -have de- ! terrained that the old city shall not retrograde, and they have u-ed every means in their pow- ? er, and have offered every inducement to th ?r ! former customers, to bring them back.

Pt the thorough education of the negro race itt the rudiments of knowledge is a matter of evin more importance than this. So far as we can learn, tbey exhibit, old and young, amont laudable- thirst for knowledge. Schools provided for Jhcm arc numerously attended, and we know, ?wat tbey muka unexpectedly good progress. In deed wc have seen enough with our own eyes to teeoure oonv-inced-that prov?Mons. for the .educ:: tioirof the negroes will not be thrown away. Every nd vance of the lowest class in intelligence is an additional stcurity to the higher class, to capital and intellect, that ks possessions, and the proceeds of ?li labor, will bo retaino? by it. Brute ignorance envies,tho superiority of intelligence and wealth, and too frequency desires to set its own force of muscle against the forco of intellect for the possessions of tb? latter: Education reme dies this. - The negroes thould be cncourigeJ ond assisted by overy possihto means in the building of schoolhouses and churches.' And wo repeat that the negro must be "educated, and that too by us .who fr/u? tho aatlvc white citizenship of thc South. We must do this if we would secure the best con dition of society, indeed tho very safety of H> from the incendiary teachings that will certainly be brought to bear upon the lately liberated class.

He said he had for the last few years been en gaged in cotton planting, and that " no agri cultural interest offered such poor induce ments as cotton." And yet $ 14.000,000 was collected last year by this tax. This tax, of course, in a very large degree, falls directly on the laborer in the cotton field. Suppose $14,000,000 had been left with the planter*, instead of being taken from them, what an immense stimulus to material development at the S:vjthhar.d consequently, of advantage to the emancipated classes. The colored people should bc made to-understand how they arc plundered by this unjust taxation imposed by their prefres;ed friends. --? -?
