NEW Oin .KANS, April 6.-There are about r.00 feet of crevass?e about Baton Rouge, and many others feared below. The whole of tho country down to Bayou Plaquemines v. ili be submerged. It is feared that Bayou Planquemines cannot carry off the flood, and that it will extend down to Bayou La Fourche, comprising tho richest sugar and cotton lands in Louisiana. Crevasses are feared all over the State. Levee commissioners are sitting an d act? ing promptlv, and will build machinery and boats after Angoniar's patent. Mrs. Gaines' suit is up in the District Court. Possession for twenty to thirty years is plead at the bar in defence. There is a dangerous crevasse five miles below thc city, in the opposite bank.

The venerable Marie Amelie, ex Queen of the French, the second daughter of Ferdinand tho First, King of the Two Sicibes, wife of Louis Philippe and grand-mother of the young French princes who fought in the United States army duriug the rebellion, died on the 24th of March ult., at the family residence, Clare? mont, England, aged eighty-four years. She was born in April, 1782, and was married to Louis Phillippe, at that time Duke of Orleans, and in exile, in November, 1809. In 1814, after the fall of Napoleon, the Duke, with his family, removed to Paris, and the immense estates of his father were restored to him. He now took np his residence at the palace at Neuiily, where most of his nine chil? dren were born. There his consort "devoted herself to her maternal and Sarental duties. By the events of uly, 1830, Louis I'hillippe became King of the French; but his Queen never appears to have valued the sta? tion for any accession of dignity and importance it gave her. Indeed, it is asserted that she was very averse to his assuming thc sceptre; she proba? bly felt that his happiness, if not his good name and his life, might there? by be perilled ; but when he decided to be King, she meekly took her place by his side, sharing his troubles, without ever seeking to share his power. The French nation respected her character, and never imputed any of the King's perverse folly, which led to such signal mistake of policy, to her influence; still the strength of her soul was never surmised untilher husband fonnd himself in dsnger of losing the throne, when she endea? vored to prevent his abdication, and kneeling before him, exclaimed, "It is the duty of a King to die with his people." But when he resolved on flight, her presence of mind sustained and guided him, as though he had been a child. The sequel is familiar to all the world. Louis Philippe and his Queen left Paris and fled to Eng land on the 26th of February. 1848. Supported on the arm of his noble j wife, he reached the carriage that bore them from their kingdom, and, after two years and a half of exile, he died on the 26th of August, 1850, at Claremont, near- Esher, Surrey, a re? sidence offered to the exiled King and Queen by the liberality of her Ma? jesty. In 1864, Queen Amelie was present at the marriage of the Count de Paris with his cousin, the daugh? ter of the Duke and Duchess de Mont? pelier, when she received from the company assembled a complete ova? tion. CONDITION OF TEXAS.-The Galves? ton papers say that real estate has greatly advanced in that city. Tene? ments and lots are selling for more than three times what they cost ten years ago. Meanwhile trade is good, and the grain market is rapidly filling up by importations of corn, by thou? sands of bushels from New Orleans. Travelers in Northern Texas report that farmers are getting on very well, with abundance of meat and bread stuffs. There is a large wheat crop in prospect. The freedmen are doing very well. Plenty of cotton has been planted-more than ever before in one year. Much desire is express? ed for railroad facilities. Horses and mnles are very high, ami droves of beef cattle are seen on the way to Missouri. There are in North Carolina KM? schools for the blacks, 132 teachers, and, in the month of January, 10,450 scholars, or 2,000 more than in De? cember. They are located in all the principal towns, and are generally re? garded with favor. The teachers ex? perience, however, the popular aver? sion.-New York Evening Pout. The Charlotte (N. C.) Guardian, says: The weather, since Saturday last, has been turning colder and colder, and this morning we had a slight fall of snow. Vegetation, gene? rally, will be greatly affected by tho extreme cold for this season of the .year. Fruit may be said to be totally "tstroyjed in this section. From Washington. WASHINGTON, April 8.-The Souate was not in session yesterday. Tho House de? voted tho day to. speech making only. Among "the orators was Mr. Hogan, of Missouri, who defended tho President, and, among other things, said that he believed slavery to be wrong, and was therefore ?lad it no longer existed in this country; ut, in roviowing tho history of the black race in America, he concluded that moro had been done by the institution of slavery in the South to christianize the negro than had ever boen effected by all the Pro? testant missionaries that had been sent to convert Pagan nations. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, said he would give notice now, that on Monday next, immedi? ately after the expiration of the morning hour, ho would call for the reading of the message of the President vetoing the civU rights bill, and that immediately after the reading of the message was concluded, he would demand the previous question on the passage of the bill. Mr. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, naid he trusted tho gentleman from Iowa would not press a subject of snob importance to a vote, under the operation of thc previ? ous question, thus shutting off all oppor? tunity for discussing the motion. Tho message had not been treated in this man? ner by the Senate, and ho trusted it would not bc treated so nore. It would be a dis? grace to the House if the bill was hurried to a vote without any chance beiug given for a discussion of its merits. Mr. Wilson replied that it was for the House to decide whether immediate action on the bill would disgrace it or not. For his part, he thought that tho bill had been very fully discussed alreadj", and he intend? ed,"in any event, to demand the previous question *after the morning hour on Mon? day. Tho House might sustain him or not as it thought proper. [Laughter on the Republican side] Tho President has issued the following circular to the heads of departments in reference to appointments to office: It is eminently right and proper that the Government of the United States give earnest and substantial evidence of its just appreciation of Hie services of tho patriotic men who, when the life of tho nation was imperilled, entered the army and uaw to preserve tho integrity of the Union, defend the Government, and main- 1 tain and perpetuate unimpaired its freo institutions. It is, therefore, directed: 1st. That in appointments to oflice in the several Exe? cutive departments of the General Govern? ment, ami the various branches of the public service connected with said depart? ments, preference shall bc given to such meritorious or honorably discharged sol? diers and sailors-particularly those who have been disabled by wounds received or disease contracted in the line of duty -as may possess the proper qualifications. 2d. That in all promotions in said departments, and the several departments of the Go? vernment connected therewith, such per? sons shall have preference, when equally eligible and qualified, over those who have not faithfully or honorably served in the land te naval service of the United States. (Signed,) ANDREW JOHNSON. EXECUTIVE MANSION, April 7, 18t???. The proposition of thc Secretary of the Treasury looking to a delay in the pay? ment of direct taxes due from the South em States until they can place themselves in a proper positionto do s>?, will be adopt? ed.- Cor. PhUadeIi>?tia Ledger. Alexander Stephens has been sonding his cards to those whom he once knew here, and to others whose acquaintance ho would like to have. He has had many callers at his rooms, and is lionized to no little estent. To-day, he had a very long intorview with the" President, and pro? nounces himself thoroughly satisfied with tho President and his policy. He expects to have his seat in the Senate at an early day. A distinguished military chieftain has within the last few days been sounded by two noted politicians, ono of whom was in the army, to see to what extent he could be relied upon to favor a coup d'etat by which the Southern representatives are to be placed in both Houses of Congress. No .encouragement was given, but the project has not been abandoned. The National Intelligencer, in comment? ing upon the above statement, says that the distinguished military chieftain in ques? tion was consulted as to a project directly the reverse of tho ono stated by tho Ti-i bune-namely, a coup d'etat, "by which the Government of the United States is to be overthrown by a revolutionary Junto of radical demagogues." It adds. "We will vouch for every word of it, and so could the Trilmne correspondent, if he is well enough informed to speak on this subject." A good deal of amusement has been ex? cited by what proves to be a thorough broak between the Johnson Democrats, lcd by Montgomery Blair, and the Johnson Republicans. So says Fornev, but this "break" is not verv "thorough/' wc opine. There is pretty good authority for say? ing that there will be no further sales "of gold by tho Treasury, just at present, and perhaps not for a long while to come. Thc policy will be rather to hoard, and to leave the gold market lo its own inclinations and developments. A protracted interview was held, to-day, between Mrs. Davis and A. II. Stephen?, the nature of which is unknown, though common report says it had reference to the probable fate of Jeff, himself, who, there arc renewed rumors, is to be released in a short time on parole. [ Philadelphia Ledger. Tho Star, of Saturday, says Mrs. Davis had not roached Washington. The rumors of an amnesty proclamation gain force, and are very prevalent, to-day. The friends of the Executive are said to have advised him to this course, and tho indications are that the deed will be done. lt is not true that the Comptroller of tho Currency has suggested au increase in the number of our beautiful notes, and if ho hail, it would be utterly impossible for such a proposition to carry, as both Secre? tary Mcculloch and the Banking Commit? tee are opposed to any further inflation in that line. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue, nuder the direction of the Secretary of tho Treasury, in the assessment of tho annual income, will not require of farmers the re? turn ?>f the value of their farm products consumed by themselves and families. The instructions to assessors, now being pre? pared, will expressly authorize this relief. SHIP ?VKAY'S. PORT OF CHARLESTON, APRIL ll. ARRIVED YESTERDAY. \ Steamship Ouakcr ('itv, West, New York. !

The Johnson Union Meeting nt WmU 1? g to ii. There was a very spirited mass meeting of the friends of the Union and Constitution, on the Johnson platform, in Washington, on Thurs? day evening last. It was a meeting of some importance, too, as marking the commencement of active work, the breaking of the ground, towards the formation of a now national par? ty, on the basis of President John? son's policy. The managers and oratora of the meeting were not old copperheads, casting about for some? thing to keep their heads above water; nor was it a meeting of reconstructed rebels, anxious for vengeance against the Abolition radicals; nor was it a Democratic contrivance designed to influence any forthcoming political election; for we shall have no more political elections of any consequence until October next, when Pennsylva? nia, Ohio and Indiana will speak up on the great issues of thc day. The meeting in question, regard? less of party distinctions, was a meet? ing of Union men, who believe that the policy of President Johnson is good, and will restore the Union on the solid foundation of peace and harmony among all sections, all races and all classes of the American peo? ple, and that the schemes of the j radicals aro impracticable and revo? lutionary. The great object of the war against tho late rebellion, as de? fined in the resolutions of Congress of 1861 and 18G2, and in the Balti? more Union war party platform of 1864, upon which Lincoln and John? son were elected, was the object of this mass meeting-the restoration of j tho Union. This, too, being the j great object of President Johnson's ! Southern policy, the meeting was harmonious and enthusiastic in his i support. On this ground such loyal Union war men as Gen. Swift, an old line Massachusetts Abolitionist; j Senator Cowan, of Pennsylvania, a I steadfast Republican supporter of the war for the Union from the begin? ning, and Green Clay Smith, of Ken? tucky, of the House of Representa? tives, a Union war man and Aboli? tionist of tho Lincoln school-all found in Andrew Johnson, as the case now stands, a satisfactory chain- j pion of the Union cause. The ga- | thering of these conservative eic menta at Washington in defence of President Johnson's administration ; is, we say, a movement which marks the beginning of the practical work looking to the organization, upon the living and leading issues of the day, of the great national party of the future. The example thus set in Washing- i ton should be followed up by con- j servative Union men throughout the country. Men who carried the brand of peace, copperheads, during tho war ought to keep in the background, and : be content rather to follow than to | lead in these movements for an inde? pendent Johnson Union party. The I true course for tho men of the out? lawed Chicago Democratic organiza? tion is not to waitfor President John? son to come over to them ; but it is for them to drop their old, worn-out party uniform, leaders and by-laws, and go over to President Johnson and the nucleus of the Union war party crystalizing around his Ad? ministration. This is the way iii which the Johnson Union party movement, inaugurated at Washington, can be pushed forward with such success against the radicals as to clear the j track for thc Presidential succession.

BANK OF ENGLAND STATISTICS. -The London News says : The net profits of the Bank of England for the six months ending February 28 were ?709,493 ls. 4d., making the amount of the rest on that day ?3,775,794 7s. lld. After providing for a dividend of r>'.? per cent, for the half year, the j rest will remain at ?3,011,761 17s. ld. On the 16th, the rato of discount j was reduced from 7 to 6 per cent., I in consequence of the falling off in the bank's discount business, combined with an increase of nearly ?500,000 in the reserve, and a ?250,000 in the coin and bullion. Since the 22d of February, the latter item has increased from ?13,822,935 to ?14,327,618-a difference of ?504, 68S; and the reserve of notes from ?7,409,100 to ?7,905,785 - a differ? ence of ?495,685. If it be objected that theso changes are not, in them? selves, of greater importance, the fall in the rate of discount is nevertheless justified by the fact that the bank's position is now unusually strong. I n the present return, tho banking lia? bilities on deposits and seven day and other bills amount to ?19,411,075, and the total reserve (notes and coin,) being ?8,804,543, exceeds by no less than ?2,334,185 the proportion of one-third, which the bank make a ! point of keeping as a minimum when? ever practicable. This circumstance of itself seems to indicate the pro ' liability of a fresh fall in value of money at no distant period -a view 1 which certainly deserves encourage ; ment from the important change an? nounced this afternoon from Amster? dam, where the Bank of Holland bas reduced its rate, of discount from 6 to 3 bj per cent. Unless, however, the Bank of France should lower its rate from its present point of 4 per cent, to 3].j or 3, the bank directors, in common with all cautious persons here, will doubtless watch narrowly the effect of to-day's measure upon tho cotton market and tho exchanges. I What lady is good to eat ? Sal Ladd. Cellars to Dwelling Houses. Dr. Hall, who publishes and edits the Journal of ilenith, devotes the whole of tho March number to an interesting article on "Farmer's Houses," showing where they should be built, how they should bo built; indicating certain conveniences to be secured, and certain inconveniences to be avoided; and pointing out all tho essentials to health, comfort and contentment. One of tho most in? teresting and useful portions of this article is that devoted to "Cellars in Dwelling Houses," which he declares are oftentimes the sources from which those gases constantly ascend that impregnate every room in the house to which they are attached with a vitiated and unwholesome at? mosphere. He speaks of the habit prevalent among housekeepers of making their cellars the summer and winter re ceptable of every variety of vegeta? bles and fruits, tus well as of rubbish and kitchen offal, and of all that is old and unseemly. He advises a tho? rough examination and cleansing ol the cellar attached to every house io which a slow and obscure disease prevails among the members of thc family. He says such cellars should be emptied of every movable thing, tho Avails and floors thoroughly swept ami washed, aired for a week, ant the former white-washed. He cites the following remarkabb instance of the efficacy of cleanliness in preventing cholera-with whicl we are now threatened-and of it attraction by uncleanliness. Durinj a cholera summer unusual effort were made in Boston to pro vid' against it. The most stringent am thorough hygienic measures wer taken. Reliable men were appointe to examine every house from celia to garret, and compel tho removal c everything which could have; even remote tendency to invite the fearfi scourge. The results were admirable there was not a single case of choler except in a very restricted district in fact, one family only was attacked A more especial examination of th house in which this family reside was made, when in a remote cornc of the cellar a large pile of the acct mutations of bad housekeeping fe years was found, and this was in state of putridity. On its remove and the most plentiful use of tl most powerful disinfectants, the di ease at once disappeared and did ni return. As the warm weather approaehe wo may expect the approach of ch lera, and should omit no reasonab precaution against its prevalence, costs but little of time, trouble money for each householder to clean and purify his premises, especial when he can rely in so doing upi the assistance of the city authority Exemption from this dire scourge purchased at a cheap rate when requires only prudence in eating a drinking, cleanliness of person, a the removal of filth and rubbish fri our premises. -Richmond Whig.

By order of the ' JOHN L 1 OATWBIGHT, Se< ApriM**^^^* COMMERCIAL AND FINANCI?XH MOBILE, April 4.-The downward tenden? cy in the price of cotton, occasioned by the unfavorable advices through the last Eu? ropean steamer, together with the weak condition of the New York market, has caused a pretty general misgiving on tho subject of another advance for some time to como, and there are not a few who pre? dict that middling will go to 30 cents and below within a few days. The quotations i of to-day, compared with those of the close of last week, show a decline of over 2 cents. The demand to-day has been confined to a few buyers, and while most of the factors evince" a willingness to sell, tho inside figure was almost invariably refused. Sales to the extent of 1,200 bales were effected, the market closing quiet and easy at S3(<fr3i cents for middling. NEW ORLEANS, April 4.-The cotton mar? ket has been exceedingly unsettled since our last, and transactions yesterday, which were limited to 1,649 bales, were effected at such irregular rates that it was impossi? ble to obtain reliable or even approximat? ing quotations. There is no alteration to not ice in sugar and molasses. Sales yesterday, 82 hbds. of the former, and ?50 bbb)." of the lat? ter at previous prices.

I COTTON GROWING IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. The following facts are from a number carefully collected, and are believed to be reliable, and a fair statement of the ave? rage profit of last year's cotton crop in Illi? nois: Mr. Parreut, in the immediate vicinity of Du Quoin raised on three acres, 3,020 pounds of unginned cotton, which gives I about 800 pounds of ginned cotton, or 266 ! pounds to the acre, at 40 cents per pound, j amounting to $106, as the gross proceeds j per acre. William Gray ten miles South-west of I Du Quoin, had three acres, which produced ? 3,200 pounds. If sickness had not prevent I ed the proper cultivation of it, he thinks I the product would have been not less than 1,500 pounds per acre. George Wells, one-and-a-half miles East cf Du Quoin, raised five acres, which ave I raged 950 pounds per acre. On eix acres, ! which he leased to another man for the rent of one-fourth of the cotton produced, the rent gave him $21 per acre. The present price of cotton at this poiut is 10 cents per pound for unginned cotton. And even at one-half of this price, tho farmers generally are of the opinion that it is the surest and most profitable crop raised in this section of the State, neither chinch-bug nor drought affecting it se? riously. Ono man ami horse, during four months of the year, can cultivate ten acres; two bushels of seed are required to the acre: ! one-and-a-half cents per pound is the usual ; price paid for picking. In this region, the ? two last years have been somewhat in the j nature of experiment, almost all the cotton ' raised having previously been in tho vi j cinity of Carbondale. - Cairo Times. j No CORN.-Some of the papers express I apprehensions that but little corn will be I grown this year. They make sure of "hat \ fact. Not enough will be raised to feed the plantations, to say nothing of tho towns i and non-producers generally. Many intel ! ligent farmers hold it to be souud economy to raise no breadstuffs this summer; but ; wo doubt it very much. The plantation should be made self-sustaining as far as possible. The common distrust of thc la? bor, and the anxiety to produce as much cotton as possible, will, however, reduce the yield or grain very much. The West must now feed ns; and if the freedman turns out to be a faithful laborer, the trade ? between tho South and West will exceed \ anything ever before existing, lt will de i Biand large outlays of capital, and cheap j I transportation.
