The Recent Storm.

Mississippi.?From the Sen Coast Demorrut
of Wednesday lust, published in Mismpippi
City, we extract the following account
of the disastrous effects of the recent
heavy rains:
On Thursday and Friday, this region of
country was visited by the greatest rains
ever known to li-ivc fallen here. The rain
commenced ut half past two I*. M.on Thursday,
and continued till Saturday morning
without hardly any intermission. It poured
down in such torrents that on Friday
morning,after hut one night's rain,the whole
back country.as fi?r ascottld be seen was one
expanse of water, Tho thunder which accompanied
tho ruins seemed to threaten ter_..i

lightning was very vivid, n-?d flashed incessantly.
For iiboul two hours on Thursday
fright, ihe wind howled with some fury, but
tiot violent enough to bo called o storm;
this moderated to nn culinary 8. K. wind,
which conlinued the two following days.?
On Friday evening the work of destructio
bad committed terrible disasters lo proper

M'Ko wnters of Chnttaeahnffa, ftiloxi and
Bernard bayous had swollen to an immense
Hood, which swept away everything it encountered
in its impetuous course. Up.

were carried out to pen, as wore hIso
several hundred thousand font of lumber

Our son coast lias not suffered in any wise
from the. fl-iod, except that some garden
beds have been well beaten with the rain.

been freighted with the Inst lumber and
logs, an immense quantity of which is now
strewn along the beach froru ono end of the

i on the subject nf the i ejection of the treaty,
is erroneous. No correspondence look place |
on mo subject. !Ur. Uallns, by the previ- j
ous packet, communicated to the Secretary !
of State a statement of a conversation with '
Lord Clarendon, in which the latter slated
objections to the treaty in its amended form, i
There was no written correspondence, nor )
anything more than a verbal conversation
on the subject.
It is true, as slated, that Lord Nap'- rr
communicated some passages from a de
spatcli received fiom Lt?rd Clarendon, to
the sivcne elfect with tlie conversation nbove
referred to. Lord Nnpier added n proposi;
lion for reopening a negotiation for the ftdi
justment o( tiio only pending difficulty?
| that is the Hay Inlands question. But the
President has declined this for the present
It is probable that, before the meeting of

! ihe renewal of any stipulations in regard lo i
I Centre! Ameiicnn matters.
| The treaty was entered into in 1850, for j
' the reason that at that time it whs believed
| to be necest-ary to obtain the guaranty of
! England and the United States for lite soI
curity of any isllmian transits, in order to
I induce capitalists to invest iheir money in
them. The canal then contemplated, through
mo iNicaragnan i-.thmus, lias never been
undertaken. The Hriiish company that
I was formed for the purpose abandoned tbe
C'ect, upon the suggestion, by Mr. Joshua
28, that I he Monroe doctrino would, one
: day, be practically et.forced by the United
Statfcft, and that foreign establishments in
NicflMguu would bp insecure.
The Clayton Bulwei treaty may be annulled
by mutual consent, or upon notice by |

ligencor gives the following beautiful instance
of the kindness towards ench other
by the birds : A gentleman observed in a
thicket of bushes near his dwelling, ft collection
of brown thrushes, who for several
days attracted his attention by their loud
cries and atrnngo movements. At last curiosity
was so much excited, that ho deter
nuocu 10 see u lie could ascertain the causa |
of the excitement among them. Oil exam- i
ining the bushes ho found a female thrush,
whoso wing was caught in a limb in such a
way that rub could not escape. Near by
was her nest, containing several half-grown
birds. On rotiiing a little dUltnce, a company
of thrushes appeared with worms and
othei1 insects in their mouth*, which they j
gnvc first 10 Hie mother and then to her
young, she in (he meanwhile, cheering them
ill their labor of love with a song of grali- ,
tudc. After watching the interesting scene J
until curiosity was satisfied, the gentleman j
relieved the poor bird, when she lie w to her '
nest with a grateful song to her deliverer, {
and Iter chniitable neighbors dispersed to
their usual abodes, singing as they went a
gong of praise.
