THE WRELTNG WATERS. Disastrous Floods In Different Portions of S4 the Country-Some Details of the Dara age by the Floods. BIEMtNGHAM, ALA., April 1.--A spec~al to the Age from river townis of c North Alabama, show that the effects tu of the freshet are greater even than e: telegraphed yesterday. Gadsden re- f! ports the Coosa rtver at ts highest tl mark, and still rising with alarinig reports from above. All railroad c, bridg'es on the branch road between d Atlanta and Gadsden are swept away, and a unmber of washouts- on the il Alabama Great Southern are reported C on both sides if Atianta. The mill b and lumber interests at Gadsden su: fered immense damage. The Tennes- u see river is reported out of its banks t -at several points. From Tuscalo sa, J on the Ma ion river, advices are V serious, though it is believed the t worst has pa.-ed. MNany houses one :ither side of ilie river have be'iz abandoned, and water is running s through the doors and windows. Soi e families occupy npper stories of dwel-. a ling, and skiffs and flat boats are used i for transportation. The village of - North Point across the river from i Tuscaloosa, is almost submerged now j and the iron bridge connecting the ( two places is - nder water at both e- ds, and fears art- e,. ertuind for its -aity. Fne water i, a toot deep in tie l'ua- ( ,caloosa cotu factory, and work ht I to be abandoned. Just betore dar., I -the wreck ot a siel house paaoed - .down the river, and several perwons I were observed clinzing to tue timoer. i Rescuing partit s in skiffs started out I in pursuOi from the Tu.%catoosa shore. aud were rapittly borne out ot sight < by the rapti current. Mauy er-ons living on low lands i below fu.<caloosa had to be rescued i from thir homes in -kiffs. No calcu- i lation .an be made of -the amount of a dasmage done to farming interests, to I railroads and other highways. From i places with telegraphic facilities. come the same repart<A of no trains and no maUta since Monday night. Regular trains on roads centering here have been discontinued till further orders, 1 3ad no work is being done by the I company's employes except in repairs i and constructing. Rumors reach here i of loss of life in the Coosa river valley. i RICmoiND, April 1. -'t he James Eiver at this point has been rising steadily all day, and at this hour (6 m.,) nearly all that portion of the v known as the Docketts is sub Vtweged to a depth of eight to ten feet. 26Rater has also invaded the streets lbodt the old market, between 15th and-18th streets, cutting off communi cition between the upper and lower part of the city %xcept by boats or by . going a long distance around towards the north. Street cars run only as far down as the St. Charles Hotel, corner of 15th and Main streets. !The precautions taken by the people gen'eratly in the threatened districts in removing goods to places of safety will keep the damage down to corn paratively small figures. Many poor families living in the "Rockets'' have ,been.driven from their homes . and Enae o seek shelter elsewhere. From resent indications this flood will equal, if not surpass, those of 1870 and 1877. A portion of the gas works is also submerged and it is probable that the gis will have to be cut off during he night. *The water at 11 o'clock to-night was within two feet of the floor of the bridge across the river at the Tredegar iron works, while in the blacksmith ad mnachine shops- f the -Tredegar words it is nearly a foot deep. The rolling works are still at work. As yet no- serious fears are entertainedl for the safety of any of the bridges crossing the river here. The only fatality ieported here to-day was the drowing of a negro in the lower part of the city. WVhile driving threngh a hooded street hi teain went down an embankment, and the drive- was thrown nro deep water and never came nip again. LNCnBURG,YVA.

Lost Legs and Arms---A Queer Bill. A Washington letter says: "Nebody here will speak seriously of the bill introduced by Col. Frank Wolford, of i Kentucky, to grant artificial lests and ~ arms to Confederate soldiers and sail- ~ ors, or their equivalent in money. It I is considere<4 by Democrats from both North and South as the idle diversion I or vagary of an eccentric man. Colonel t Wolford has many personal friends who admire him for his simplicity, ~ manhood and tine war record, butr there is not a Democrat in Congress r who does not think he made a bad ~ break in introducing thIs bili. This r act on the part of the gallant Kentucky a Colonel hias subjected him to no end ~ of disagreeable discussion. The dis cussion created by the act, however, is only serious as far as it relates to thbe peculiarities of Colonel Wolford. Noboby, even Golonel W. himself, imagines for a moment that the bill 3 will stand any show in the Honse. It c will probably never see iight again. b Nevertheless, the Republicans .will s seize upon the bill and include it in their campaign documents as a typical n Democratic measure, looking to the si granting of pensions to all Southern b soldiers and sailors. Colonel Wolford's I folly is a windfall to the opposition, a and it is chiefly in this regard that a Democratic membars regret the intro- n duction of the bill." f ii ADvic(.

(From the Daily Rlerd.) Columbia's population, metaphori ily speaking, poured en masse into le Opera House again last night, all iger to catch the last words that fell -om Mr. Moody's lips and- to hear le sweet symphony that came from [r. Sankey's voice. As on the pre ding night standing room was in enand. The services were opened by sing ig "Along the River of Time We iide." Messrs. Bliss and Sankey oth took part. in the vacal exercises. hrist Receiveth Sinful Men" was ext sung; after which the congrega was led in prarer by the Rev. as. 11. Thornwell. In response to a umber of requests, Mr. Sankey sang tw "Ninety and Nine' with his ac qtotmed Aweetness and expressioiis. Rinwr the Bells of Heaven" was then. tng by the whole assemblage, and Ir. Moody stepped forward and made short preliminary address before oing into the regular sermon. These emarks were made mainly in the uterest of the Young Men's Christian tssociation, with a view of strength ning the work of this organization md of enlisting sympathy in its behalf le was strongly in favor of tbe Y. M . A. and, said he, "I want. to conm nend it to you. It is a great institu ntion and should havei your warmest t npa-hy.

There should be a vell equipped building in this cily, :osting from ten to twenty thousanad ollars, for the use of the Y. M. C. A., ith reading rooms, gvmnasium and uch like, that would attract and nterest the young. Your churches Lre closed at night through the week, )t your saloons and places of vice are iot. I don't think it is the love of iquor, but that innate desire for ociability, that attracts young men. Chey want some place to spend their veniings and meet their friends, and bey'll find it. Business men should ake hold of this matter; it's a good vestment. But you say "it costs omething." To be sure it does; but re not your young men worth spend ng something on? It cost $10,000 in ennslvania not long ago to hang a -onng man. Don't you think it much eter to pay for saving than hanging kim? The Y. -M. C. A. had been the neans of accomplishing great good, Ld he hoped it would be upheld here. hen he had concluded this little talk ie announced the text for his farewell ermon Mark, 12th Chapter, part of he 34th verse:- "Thou art not far rom the kingdom of God." Mr. Moody commenced by saying hat tne men that thought they were earest the kingdom of God in Christ's lay, the Pharisees, were in fact the arthest front it. They believed in beir external devotion, but thsce are f little consequence. There are a rood minny here to-night that I believe re not far from God's kingdon.

As soon as lhe finished his sermon ir. Moody took his leave from the )pera Ho'se, in Order that lhe mig~ht to the inquiry mneeting at the Wash gton Street Church. The Rev. A. oke Smith led the services for the emainder of the evening. "There is Fountain Filled with Blood," "Al ost Persuaded," and "Be) ond tne miing and t be Weeping," were sung iv the chorus choir. The Rev. L. MI. ttie offered a special prayer that ~od's blessing might rest upon the quiry meeting, and the congregation as then dismissed with the benediction >y the Rev. 0. A. Darby. Money for the Hendricks Monment. John Holmanm, of Indiana, who has een engaged in organizing the agen is for the collection of the Hendricks onument fund, reports very favora le news from all quarters. The riginal idea. he says, was to try and aise a fund of $100,000. To accom >ish this ten thousand agencies were stablished and an average of ten dol trs each was desired. The contribu ins were to be as small as pe'ople anted to give. The time set for the re ort was time first of A pril, and quite a umber of reports have already been eceived from small agencies of from :12 to $15. A bout $5,000 will be the esult ill Washington and perhaps as luch from Philadelphia and twice as Inch from Ne w York. On the basis f present returnls the fund will be up ards of $150,000.

It is also alleged that the law as to res~dence aiid cultivation has not been complied with and that as soon as the trees havee been madeo to yield all the guru of which they arecapable, in consequence e of which they (lie, the land is aban- i doned as worthless.
