Gadsden re ports the ?Joosu river al tl highest mu k, amt ?tili ri>ing with alarming reports from ubovc. All railroad bridges n the branch road bet ween Atlanta and Gadsden are swept away, and ;i numb r ol' washout* on iito Alabama Great Southern ure reported on both sides of Atlanta. The mill and lumber interests at Gadsdon ?U? lered immense damage. The Tennes see river is reported out ot its bunks nt several points. From Tusealo su, on tho Mu lon river, advices ure serious, though it le believed the worst lins passed. Many houses on tither side of tho river have been abandoned, and water is running through the doors and windows. Some families occupy upper stories of dwel ling, and skill's and Hat boats aro used for transportation. The village ot "North Point across tho river from Tuscaloosa, is almost submerged now and tho iron bridge connecting the two places is under water at both ends, and fears arc entertained for its safety. Tho water is a foot (deop ill the Tus caloosa cotton factory, and work had to bo abandoned. Just before dark, the wreck of a small house passed down tho river, and several persons were observed clinging to the timber. Rescuing putties in skiffs started out in pursuit from the Tuscaloosa shore, and were rapidly borne out ot sight by the rapid current Many persons living on low lands below Tuscaloosa had to be rescued from their homes in skill's. No calcu lation can be mude ol' thc amount of damage done to farming interests, tc railroads and other highways. From places with telegraphic facilities conic the same reports ot no trains and no mails Bince Mouday niirht. Regular trains on roads centering herc 'have been dtscontil cd till further orders, and no work is being done by thc company's employ?s except in repairs und constructing. Rumors reach herc of loss of lifo in the Coo<a river volley. RICHMOND, April l. -'tho James River ut this point bas been rising steadily all day, and at this hour (G p. m.,) nearly all that portion of tho city known as thc Ducketts is sub merged to a depth of eight to ten feet. The waler has also invaded tho streets about thc old market, between I61I1 and I8M1 strcotB, cutting off communi cation between the upper and lower part of thc city except by bouts or by going u long distance around towards the north. Street cars run only as far down as tho St. Charles Hotel, corner of 15th and Main streets. Thc precautions taken bv the people generally in the threatened districts in removing goods to places of safety will keep the damage down to com paratively small ligures. Many poor families living ii' the 'Rockels have been driven from their homos und made to seek sheller elsewhere. From present indie nions this flood will equal, il not surpass, those of 1870 and 1877. A portion of ibo ?ras works is aNo submerged and it is probable that tho gas .viii have to bo cut off during thu night. The water at ll o'clock to-night was within two feet of the door of th? bridge across the river at the Tredega!' iron works, while in the blacksmith and machine shops f tho Trcdegar works it is nearly a foot deep. The redling ivor, s are still at work. As yel no serious fears are entevtained for the safety of any of thc bridgen crossing the river here. The only fatality reported here to-day was the drawing of a negro in the lower part ol the city. While driving through a flooded street his toain went down an embank incut, and tho driver was thrown duo deep water and never came up again. LYNCUBORO, VA. April 1 .-Thc Hood at this point measured 26 feet at7 a. m. In thc early morning a rapid risc took place, and damage in tho lower part of the eily is heavy. At this hour, I, p. m., thc river is falling. Fully one third of the Richmond ?fc Allcghauy Rnilroad track from this point to Bu chanan, forty miles, is submerged, and ail trestles have been washed away. No estimate of the damage can lie ob tained. T?l?graphie communication along tho line bus been destroyed, and the polos washed away. STAUNTON, VA. April 1.-Tho waters have been rising steadily all day. North river is higher than ever known and other largo streams aro overflowing their banks. Thc destruction ol prop erty is great. CHATTANOOGA. April 1.-Tho Tennes see river ls now 17 feet, amt rising two iuchesan hour. A full will notcoinmouce before morning. No trains are mov ing. TIIK WATERS SUBSIDING. The Inst accounts from thc flooded localities indicated that the waters were rapidly subsiding, and that no further Imurv to property was anticipated. The damage *t large was considerable, but no exact estimate can now be made. J.ont I.egM mid A mn-A Qu. Hill. A Washington lotter says: "Ni body hore will speak seriously of thc bill Introduced by Col. Frank Woiford, of Koutucky, to grant artificial legs and arms to Confed?ralo soldiers and sail ors. or (heir equivalent in money, lt is considered by Democrats from both North and Souih a? tho idle diversion or vagary of an eccentric man. Colonel Woiford bas many personal friends who admire him for his simplicity^ manhood and tine war record, but there is not a Democrat in Congress w bo does md think bc made a bud breuk in Introducing dds bill. This act on (he uart of I he gallant Kentucky Colonel has subj, clod him to no end * of disagreeable discussion. Tho dis enssion created by ibo act, however, is only serious UA fur us ii relates to the ?'CIlliaritie? of Colonel Woiford. oboby, even Colonel W. himself, imagines for a moment Hint the bill will aland any show in the House. It will probably never sec light again. Nevertheless', tho Republicans will seizo upon the bill und include it in their campaign documents ns a typical Democratic measure, looking to tho grunt ing of pensions to all Southern soldiers and sailors. Colonel Wolford's folly is a windfall to tho opposition, and it is chiefly in this regard that Democratic members regret tho intro dnction of the bill." ADVIOK To MOTnBHS. Mas.

Columbia's p?H>nt'?--l*->,?? lllUtHplMlli* cally sneaking, poured en musse into thc Opera llou^e nguiu last night, .-.ii eager to caleb ibo lust words that lull from Mr. Moody's lips and lo hour the sweet symphony that caine boin Mr. Saillie) s voice. As on ibo pre ceding night standing room was in demand. The se rv icos wore oponed by sing ing "Along ibo Uiver ol' Tiino wc tilule." Messrs. lilis* and Saukey both took part in the vocal oxereises. .'Christ Ueceivetb Sinful Men" was next snug; tilter which thc congrega tion was lcd in prayer by the Hov. Jas. ll. Thorn well. In response to a niuubor of requests, Mr. Sankey sang tho "Ninety and Nino" with Iiis ac customed sweetness and expressions. '.King tho Dolls ol' Heaven" was then sung by tho whole assemblage, and Mr. Moody 6toppcd forward anti made a short preliminary address before going into tho regular sermon. These remarks woro mado mainly in tho interest of the Young Mon's Christian Association, with a viow of strength ening tho work of this organization ami of enlisting sympathy in its behalf. He was strongly in favor of thc Y. M. C. A. and, said bc, "I want to com mend it to you. lt is a great institu tution and should havo your warmest sympathy. Such an organization with a nicely arranged placo for young men to meet and spend their evenings 1 think is needed. There should bo a well equipped building in this city, costing from ten to twenty thousand dollars, for tho uso ot the Y. M. C. A., with reading rooms, gymnasium and such like, that would attract and interest tho young. Your churches are closed at night through thc week, but your saloons and places of vice are not. I don't think it is the lovo ot' liquor, but that innate desire for sociability, that attracts young men. They want some place to spend their evenings and meet their friends, and they'll lind it. Business men should take- hold of this matter; it's a good investment. But you say "it costs something." To be sure il does .but are not your young men worth spend ing something Oil? It cost $10,000 in Pennsylvania not long ago to hang a young man. Don't you think it much better to pay for saving than hanging him? Tho Y. M. C. A. had been the means ol' accomplishing great good, and bc hoped it would be upheld hen'. When bc bad concluded this little talk be announced the text for his farewell sermon Mark, 12th Chapter, part of the 34lh verse: "Thou arl not far from i he kingdom of dod." Mr. Moody commenced by saying that Inc men that thought they were nearest the kingdom of God in Christ's day, the Pharisees, were in fact tho farthest from it. They believed in their external devotion, but these arc of little consequence. There are a good many herc to-night that I believe arc not lar from God's kingdom, '''he past lew night? I've seen it in this ball. I want you lo become truly persuaded to-night. Thousands make ?ht pw rc k ot their souls by lr) lng to compromise with (?ml. You can't get into His kingdom without making a full, Olean sweep. There are oui \ two road- in ti i is world, dear friends. One leads up to heaven and the other dowe to hell. If you are holding on to anv secret sin may God help you to give ii up right, now. if there are any hero to-night who have made up their mimi not to become Christian* it were helli r for thom never to hoar another soi mon. The gospel either hardens or Bohena. That is the teaching of Cod's word. There are preachers here to night who have people in (heir congregation thai nothing will move. They have be come so hardened that preaching has no effect now upon them. May von make up your minds this hour not to be satisfied by being near thc kingdom of Cod, but may you make up your minds to enter in. My friends, wo may never meet again, bul I beg, whatever you do, do liol tnUs Cod's kingdom. We bear tho cross here for only a litt!o while and lay it down to take up our crown in lu aveu. Arc you going to Iel some companions laugh you out Ol' becoining a Christian ? If any one wains to sncor at ('luis tiaility let them sneer, but I beg yon to tukc your stand for Christ. This briol and disconnected synop sis gives but a faint idea ot this mag nificent and feeling discourse. It was listened to with rapt and sincere at tention, thc closing sentences were fraught with pathos and touched deep ly the emotions of the vast assemblage. As soon as he finished his sermon Mr. Moody took his leave from tho Opera House, in order that bc might go to the inquiry meeting nt the Wash ington Street Church. The Rev. A. Coke Smith led the services for the remainder of the evening. "There is a Fountain Killed willi Blood," "Al most Persuaded," and "Beyond tue Smiling and the Weeping," were sung by tin chorus choir. The Kev. L. M. Little offered a special prayer that Cod's blessing might rest upon the inquiry meeting, ami the congregation was then di^mi-sed with I he benediction by Ibo Kev. O. A. Darby. Money for the Hendrick* Mon mitent. John Holman, of Indiana, who has been engaged in organizing tho agou cies for the collection ol' Hie Hendricks monument fund, reports very favora ble news from all quarters. The original idea, he ?at s, was to try and raise a fund of $100,000. To accom plish ibis ten thousand agencies were established and an average of icu dol lars oacb was desired. The contribu tions were to bc as small ns people w>?' '?d to give. The time set for tho re port . is Ibo iii' i of April, nod quite a number* of reports havo already beon received from small iigencies of from $12 to fi?. About $0,000 will be the result io Washington and perhaps as much from Philadelphia and twice as much from New York. On the basis of present returns the fund will bo up wards of $100,000. rim iii i.ml ?ny Bribery. Ex-Alderman Chas. B. Waite, of New York, has been arrested on charges connected with ibo alleged bribery in thc cn60 of the Broadway Surface Railroad. District Attorney Martino stoutly donios that cx-Aldcr miui Waite was arrested, but says ho is his guest and shall not bo worried by reporters. Tho arrest of Mayor \V. P. Kirk has given people at clubs and hotels fresh material for gossip and speculation. In all quarters whoro men gather there is hush like that bo fore an expected thunder storm. Much interest was devoloped as to what the other franchise aldermen would say of recent developments. ? mm -The New Orleans Exposition closed formally on Maren 81, JLKU1MI.ATINO ABOUT I, A non.

Calhoun, of Mobile, Ala., und James Hailey, of Slidcll, La., through conspiracy with other parties, have procured the entry of public lands in Tammany Parish, Louisiana, for thc fraudulent purpose of using tho pine timber thereon for thc manufacture of turpentine, criminal suit has ?icen ad vised through the department of jus .ice on the ground of conspiracy lo defraud thc Government. It is alleged that, the parlies entering ?Ihese lands have boxed nearly 80,000 pine trees, from which more than 10,(X)0 barrels of crude pine gum luivc been taken, from which was manufac tured some 02,000 gallons of turpen tine and 10.000 barrels of rosin.

(Fruin the Saturday Jlceieu).) On u bright day, ii cnn nut in denied timi these carnival processions ure a pretty sight. Almost all the houses which limy pans an; gay I y decorated. Some ot'(be occupants ure instigated lo take Ibu trouble and expenso by public spirit, olbcrs by tho hopo ot gaining a prize, and others again by ibo mercenary consideration that they will lie able to let their windows at a higher rate it' they look strikingly attractive. Thc pavements arc throng ed by a crowd ot spectators, among whom there is a fair sprinkling of masks. As tho procession moves slowly forward a shower of bouquets pass to and fro bet ween tho cars and the balconies, and a hailstorm of cortando)I descends on tho crowd bolow, by wbioh it is returned with interest. Tho sugar and tho llowois are generally intended for tho ladies who grace tho festival with their presence, but many u handful of sweetmeats full into the cager hands of expectant street boys. Every whoro there is life, movement, sunshine and good humor. Of a rainy carnival it is oder not to speak; it is enough to have endured ono. These processions take place on three or four ditt'erOUt days appointed by tlie committee, thc last and chief la ing always fixed for Shrove Tues day, thc concluding day of the feast. They arc too boisterous for ladies of gentle birth und breeding to take part in them, except from thc compara tively safe .seclusion of a window. Thc corsi di flori which take place on other days are aristocratic in their character. Thc ladies wear maskfi, unnecessarily it would seem, as they usually occupy their own private car riages, and they pelt and arc pelted by their passing male acquaintances willi nosegays. A lady of exceptional beauty or popularity will often return from a dri vc of this kind covered by snell a heap of Howers that little more than her head rises above them. A pint ol tho sum collected for thc carnival is unusually sot apart for tho amusement of tlie poor, and it is spent really in amusing them, not in improv ing either their minds or their estates. 'It lias no relig ?os or moral bearing; its object i, not charity, but fun. Tho mod popular of thc games that carni val thus brings to those who have ii ?Illing to -p nd on ca rs, laney dress?e, masks, or coriandoli, is in Naples known as the Packe, in ouch of I he sections of Ibo town a place is chosen by the committee. It may be a cov ered hall Ol" an open square, which is for thc limo fenced oft' from public traffic. In tho midst of either a circu lar space is enclosed, in the center of which, if the game takes place in tba open air, a strong pole with a revolv ing disk at thc lop, is erected ; if a cov ered place is chosen the disk is either fastened to tho ceiling or roof of the room. All round circumference are placed hooks, with strings attach ed, at i bc end of which parcels arc bound. These arc made up as neall) ns possible in the same size and form, but their contents di flor widely. Some contain a small sum of moiicv, or even a silver walch; others small annies ot clothing, ot her-, cheese or smoked ?mis ages and others again nothing of any value, or, wind is worse, a fool's cap m ulo of tissue paper. These are the lidies which thc players have to catch. SUNDAY SKltVICTS AT THE CAPITOL, How tho Sab'aiith IN Obaorveil Among tl?? I*?lillie Mon lu Washington. From thc beginning of thc govern ment down to tito limo of the war, says thc New York Herald's Washing ton correspondent, there always was a Sunday religions service ai thc capitol. Thc House of Repr?sent?t iv \t was con sidered a national church. Tho down fall of this custom dales from thc introduction of politics into religion. Prior to that hour tho chaplains had beim chosen by a joint resolution ol thc .Senate and House, and neither took final action until tho other had agreed upon it? nominee. Thou the service in each holt*? was held by thc chaplains alternately. Hut with thc era of thc war rose a theory that the chaplain must belong to a certain party. As OHO party was decidedly in tho majority, thal simply meant that tho chaplain must ho a Republican. In time it came about that a caucus was held (as is now done) to agree upon a represen i alive of the Dully, That custom wa- obnoxious to so many that very few members have since At tended ibo halls of Congress early enough lo lind ont what kind ol the ology was dispensed It was felt io bo Republican or Democratic theology just tis thc majority might stand when thc choice ol its dispenser tva* made. Thc next step was to ohoo~e the chap lains from tin-city pastor?. This wat the (leith knell to a national place of worship. Anxiety to draw large audi ences to their city churches prevented the preachers from going to the House of Representativos to deliver a sermon. How different from thc beam ifni cus tom of former times! Meeting tho blind chaplain of the House, tho Kev. Dr. Milburn, this afternoon, 1 asked lum abotll thc matter. "It is as you sa\," lie answered. ''I was herc fm ty years ago, during Pres iden) Folk's and a part ot President Pierce's administrations. The Sena tors, Congressmen ami Justices of thc Supremo Court were largely repre sented at tho Sunday morning service in the old Hall of Representatives, .fohn Quincy Adams was regularly in his place. The services were always unusually impressive. It scorns to me that this would bo au excolleiil custom to revive." -Tho Chicago Herald's Washington correspondent says that tho President docs not use the White House contin gent fund for any expenses whatever that may be construed as personal, Thc ofhee expenses are paid out of it. General (?rant paid for nearly every thing ont of his salary, holding tho contingent fund, exco|>t for clerical work and a few other expenses, as sacred. Mr. Lincoln seldom drew upon this fund except for Ibo most common expenses of tho ofllce. It is said that Mr. Haynos lived almost entirely out of tho fund, mid retired from Hie ofllco with his $200,000 sal ary. The present living expenses aro estimated ut about $.10,000 por year. -The President i* credited with many good things. Here is a recent one: 'Ibero isa o ney little man minted I'opc Iloductt, who poses as the head of a mythical labor organization. He was at 'the White House and a remark was made, to Mr. Cleveland.
