The Flood in White River.—We regret
to learn-of the almost entire destruction of the
Levee which has been completed but a few
\veek«, extending from the highlands below
Augusta to Peach Orchard Blull', some thir
teen miles. This Levee could not have cost
less than $100 000. and was pronounced one of
f the best jobs in the State. The engineers in
making their estimates must certainly have
been short-sighted. White river lacks near
two feet of being up to extreme high water
mark—yet this Levee ha-been overflowed and
broken Those who are to blame in refer
ence to the construe'ion of this work should
be known. Who were the engineers that made
the estimates, Slc? Will the Little Rock pa

negroes encamped at Beaver’s Creek,
Iuear the Virginia line:
Their object is not to seize Harper’s
Ferry, but the person of the redoubtable
sage of Accomac—Ex-Governor Henry

as the murderer of John Brown, and their
determination to have his head, no matter
what the sacrifice necessary to obtain it.—
The men in camp are well dressed and lib

principally from Canada, and expected to
receive large accessions to their numbers
before they start on their mission of ven

need expect no mercy if they can but lay

--
Black Bepublican Indignation.
The New York Times is uncontrollably
indignant at the delay of the Lincoln
administration in beginning its work of
subjugation. It says:
The time named for the meeting of Con
gress is too late for military operations in
the Southern States. Months will have
to pass before it will be safe to accomplish
what is now within our power, and during
these months the enemy will be busy
strengthening itself, and preparing to de
stroy ten of the national soldiers, where
they now lack the ability to destroy one.
For the troops now departing southward,
miermixed, as they largely are, with men
who have seen service not only in Mexico
but in the grander contests in Europe, are,
at the start, more than a match for the
raw levies of the Southern States, whose
experience is restricted to the annual mili
tia muster. Now we have the start of the
South in men, and in the fact that at this
period their climate is as endurable as our
own. Two months hence, they will have
all such advantages on their side. They
know this better than we do; and if by
deceptive demonstrations they can induce
the Washington leaders to procrastinate,
they turn the chances of the conflict iu
their own favor.
******
We demand that the Government bring
peace at the earliest possible moment. We
know peace can only be had by conquest.
If the Administration has not the wisdom
and courage to proceed at once to this con
quest, shrinking fearfully from the respon
sibility, let it summon Cougress at once;
and the people in Congress assembled will
have the glory of saving the Union
----
Campaigning Axioms.
1. One well fed, well equipped, well
appointed brigade is worth too that 'aie ill
provided. ™
fj. III auilf V I » IVVJ vv W w«
undue exposure, bad food, and their own
imprudences, where one is killed by shot
or stab.
3. An easy, rational, nicely fitting uni*
form, with warm, substantial blanket,
broad-soled boots or shoes and good wool
en socks, will more conduce to efficiency
in service than superiority in weapons.
4. The lightest possible head covering,
with a good lookout for ventilation, will
add a tenth to the distance a regiment can
march in a day, while insuring increased
comfort.
5. A small cotton handkerchief, or half
a yard of the commonest sheeting, moist
tened with water in the morning and a
gain at noon, and worn between the hal
and the head, will protect the soldier from
sun-stroke and greatly diminish the dis
comfort and fatigue of a hot day’s march,
6. A flat bottle covered with woolec
cloth, the cloth being moistened and the
bottle filled with water in the morning
will keep reasonably cool throughout a long
hot day.
7. Of all villainous concoctions, the liq
uors sold by camp followers are the mosi
detestable and dangerous. They are
more deadly than rifled cannon, and are
sure to be taken just when they should no
be. Every soldier who means to do hi:
duty to his country should insist that al
venders of these poisons should be drum,
med out of camp.
8. A good cook to each company, wh<
knows how to make salt meat juicy ant
tender, and to make it ready whcneve
and wherever it may be wanted, is equa
to two doctors and four extra combatants
9. Officers who love and care for thei
meu while in repose never have to com
plain of their conduct when in action.
10. A soldier whose heart is in the
crw»e he fights for is worth two who fight
for their pay.
