IGHEST EVER KNOWN. fhe Flood on the Lower Missis- sippi Without a Parallel. Phousands at the Verge of Starva- tion—An Important Confession. Highest Ever Known. 1 Memphis, March 7-—Capt. Ed. Postal of the steamer Hardcash, which arrived this morning, reports that the backwater from the Missis- ippi river extends up White river ‘to Clarendon, Ark., a distance of 135 miles from the mouth, and the “entire country intervening is under water. which is two feet higher than was ever known before. Great loss ot stock and damage to farming in- terests occurred throughout the White river bottoms. The river here continues stationary. The following telegram was sent this morning to Seaators Harris and fackson and Congressman Morey, at ashington: ‘The great suffering brought to our notice by the inhabi- tants of counties in Tennessee, bor- dering on the Mississippi river, oc- casioned by the overflow, calls loud- ly for assistance trom the *®govern- ment. What Memphis has done or can do will be inadequate. urge you to obtain authority to have ations purchased here for immedi- ate distribution, in order to save per- sons fram actual starvation. Somd 3,000 to 5,000 are in absolute reco and must he helped immediately.’’ Jeff Hite’s Full Confession- Jefferson City, March, 7 —A few days ago the Louisville Courier Jour- nal published a special from Russell- ville, Kentucky to the effect that Jeff We} Hite, now in the penitentiary here under a sentence of twenty-five years tor being one of the Winston train robbers, was innocent of the crime, etc., etc. Last Friday, Mr. Geo. Hite, of Russellville, Ky., a brother of Jeff Hite, or Clarence Hite, which is his real name, came to this city and pre- sented to the Governor, a letter of recommendation from a prominent attorney ot Kansas City, asking that he be allowed an interview with his brother Clarence in regard to the matter. The request was at once granted, and in the presence of Capt. Bradbury, aeputy warden, and Mr. Geo. Hite, Clarence Hite made a full and complete confession of his resence at and participation in the Winston train robbery, and also that his brother Wood Hite, recently kill- ed in this State, was one of the rob- bers. In addition to this.he stated that he came to this State with the officers of his own free will, and tor. the purpose of delivering himself up to the authorities to answer for the crime. This itseems should set at rest the question of his innocence. Pain and weakness of lungs, liver, kid- neys, and urinary ergans relieved by using Brown’s Iron Bitters. 244-6 The Murderer of Garfield. It is no doubt to be regretted that people will insist on hearing repeat} ed the annals of crime; but as long as the fatal fascination prevails, it is better that the story of criminal deeds should be recited in the spirit of history. Whoever will read such a story should not fail to peruse ‘*Rid- path’s Life and Trial of Guiteau,’’ just issued trom the press ot Jones Brothers & Co., of Cincinnati. Chi§ cago. and Kansas City. The work, without being needlessly eiaborate, embraces everything of interest con- nected with the trial of the wretch who killed the President. It is in the author’s best vein. The book, in addition to being published as a seperate work, is also issued as a supplement to the ‘‘Lite and Work of Garfield,’ by the same author. The latter book is thus swelled to a very handsome illustrated volume of Soo pages, although the publisher make no increass in the prices. PILES! PILES! PILES! Asure cure tound at last!

Two of the Aldermen of the village signed the petition. The fight was kept up all day yesterday and will be resumed to-day with in- creased vigor and bitterness. Indeed we at this moment hear the roar of { artillery, which indicates that the | battle is sanguimary and bloody.— The torces on poth sides are under the command ot able and experienced leaders. The wine and beer troops are maneuvered by the Francisco Bros., and those of the morality par- ty by Col. McGindley, who fights nobly. The field is strewn with the dead and wounded. The serried | ranks of the contending forces are being thined by each successive charge. beer, we say, that an end may be put to the tearful carnage.
