Lord Colorldgo added that he couid not sce tho obfect of Including Mr, Wyman, the printer of 2'ruth, In the Indlct wment. 1o minutely reviewed the evidence, Il commented svverely on Mr.. Lawson's conduct relative to the personal fracas, The Questlon was not whether Mr, Lawson was A COWAHD IN REFUSING TO FIGUT A DUEL, ' Which ho had o perfect right to .decllne, but whether, having acted ns ho had, he was the person to gomplaln very Wuch of the subsequent publication of o liber, Lord Colerlage could not help thinking that, it Mr. Lawson refused to light, ho should have sbstained from the subsequent gross amd outrageous Insult contalned 1o tho wessage to Alr Labouchere, that he had thrashed him ® u dog, oand would, under corfuin condltions,. to do so sgaln. “Lhe Court pointed out that .the nccount of the Licas which sppeared In Pruth ln the foru ofnletter to Lawson was quite sumiclent ground of indletment for libel, even If 1t had notbeen published Ina newspaper. 1t wa, however, published after he neeonnt emunallng from the ofiies of the Telograph whichuppeared n the Maneliester (uardiun, und nfter tho necount hnd heen writton by A, Lawson Lo the cditor of Vanity Fair. Ford Colerkdge Implied that THE LETTEIR WAS WRITTEN IN A DIRAG- GADOCIO TONE, e showed that Mr. Labouchere was by the nature of the procecidings unuble to give his own account In eourt, and strongly stigma- tzed some of the Pelegraph’s personnl at- tueks, partleutarly on Lord Benconsfield, Wwhich Mr, Labouehere had adduced to Justify his assertion that Mr. Lawson was a dis- grace to Journalism, "The genernl effcet of the Judge's charge was, while setting the clrenmstances befors the Jury, to leave to them the question whother Mr, Labouchere was sulliclently justitied, ‘Flie summing up nceupled thros and three- quarters hours, The jury retired at # qguarter to 6 thly evening, and at thirty-four minutes past 6 they sent for thelr overcoats, ns the room where they wore sitting was very cold.

Tho wheat acreage, which Is small, looks well. English whents are sthll In small sup- ply on account of the busy season, but the facllities for threshing have materially Im- proved tho condition of samples, The mlllers’ necessities bave ereated a demand for FEaglish wheats, and the sale of lnd samples consequently was ensy, 5 TILE RECENT IMPROVEMENT IN VATUES wasconflned solely to the best samples, Others were practieally unsalable. Foreign wheat at the close lost the greater portlon of Mon- day‘s advance,~a reduction of fully 5 penco being necessary to effeet sales. ‘The nttitude of buyers was unmoved by tho erop-pros- peets, A bave oft-coast marker.

Ho showedl that Lnbouchere wns, by the naturo of the proceedings, unabls to give his own account in court, and strongly stigma- tized somo of the Telegraph’s personal ate tacks, partleularly on Lord Beacousileld, which Labouchero had adduced to justity his assertion that Lawson was o disgrace to Jourualism.

Tha winter beginning so early and suddenty caught sev- eral stenmers on mid-stream between Yank- ton and Benton, whiclh have been frozen in all winter, thelr londs being taken off by teaur. Indians and old settlers predicted ter- rible floods In the spriug, but the Yellow- stone rlse cawe and went with no dumage, and then the Tonguo River broke up, which drowned a few [ndians and ponies, but made no hupression upon the Missourl. However, on Mareh 26 the Missourl began to rise, and people In Fort Plerre looked to the time when they must move from the bottom lands quickly, but on this side no preparations were made, The water came higher and higher, bearing fce thres feet thick. The weather for n few days preceding March 27 was very warin, melting the snow rapidly, but seemiug to have no effect upon the lee. During the 26th u fresh warm wind from the southwest blew all day long up strean nt this point, and the galy freshened at night. At about midnight tho Iee broke up und began to run out, On the worning of the 27th the river presented a arand spectacle of power and ierror ns It rolled along, bringlng uvon its trowbled besom enormous bloeks of fee. There cune suddenly o perceptible eheck to the motlon, and simultaneously a sudden rise of water amounting to as much as four feet In ten minutes. ‘This cansed a sudden stampede from the lower portlon of Fort I'lerre. A panie seized upon Plorres for, with a sudden jerl, tho level of the river came up to the level of tho streets. ‘Thon there was rushing to and fro, with toud ealls for help, Teams werelngreat demand, Houschold goods were hastily ‘thrown into passing vehlcles, and all the town was scon In wotion towards tho Dblufis, ‘The water was soon three feet deep. Boats took the place of teams, and by 3 o’cluck the water was up to the floers of all the houses, From the first the fce had remnlned statlonary In the channel gorged agninst the Island, Just helow us one could see the ley walls steadi- ly gaining hight at tho uvper polut of the Islund, and as steadily could we see e surfaee of the river rising inch by ineh, and then It gained upon us continually. From the second-story windews could we -see the lhomses In Tort Dlerre be- ing Dustled about, crushed, or turned over, and also we could se0 the people putting up tents anda making ull kinds of camps upon the cluy hills, while thelr pronerty and comfortublo houmes were belng destroyed. On one side it was all hurry and Dbustle, and shelters were beimz wrovided of overy concelvable form, One deserves mentlon, It was perched upon the top of the highest hill, and consisted of a shest-fron cump-stove with two joints of pipe and camp-stool, o mun, and a pistol. Before sundown all had come to some order, and the water reached o depth of two and n half feet on the floors, As the darkness came on the fear on all sides was angmented. At abont O, m, asudden gush sent the great thick fee chunks over the Lauks above us, and they camne tearlng down among thio buildings like great sledge-hmun- mers, and when one would strike o house thero would be o ernsh and ronr which led muny to betleve that tho town was being torn In pleces, Many who had had the temerity to remain iy the second stories over night began to ring bells, firo guns, and with -~ loud calls attract atten- tion and secok help to gain the friendly bluffs, Soon after thls the waters begun to fatl, and at the same thng the river set up o roar which was n song of gludness to us ull, for we know the gorgo had brolen. From this time the waters rapldly reeeded, nnd at this time tho river stands just below the lower front door sills, In Plerre but comparatively llttlo dame ngo had been done, Some louses hud been moved from their foundutions, and lumber plles flonted off, Dbut _tho contrary Is thy ease with Fort Lierre, . Over the fall feo which [ has pushed up over tha banks and futo that town tike a plucier, we enn seo the ruined houses und signsof great invoo there, A8 to casualties, these are none with us, but wo cannot, say for the othor town, ns coumnunl- catlon Is cut off with that side of the river, THOE UPPER MISSOULL, Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, Sroux Ciry, In, March 28.—Dispatches from up-rlver points say the fee broke up and is runnfngout, ILIs gorged In many places and the banks ovorflowed, At Fort Plerre the water i3 reported four feet deep in the town, md the people fled to the hills for safoty, ‘'I'hls morning the feo brokout Yunk- ton, and gorged bulow there, The steamer Western, belongIng to the Coulson Line, was sunk at the levees, and the lower part of the town 18 flonded.

Between Fremont and North Bend the road 13 in very bad shape for five or six miles. ‘The new track which was latd arowid the former washout Just west of Fre- mont was earrled away. From North Iend to Columbus it is all right, but west of the long bridge three-quarters of & mlle of track is gone, und the wooden plle bridge east of the fron bridge Is partially gone. ‘These are the most serlous bronks, Large gangs of men nre afrendy at work all ulong the line where any damnge has been done, and brldge-repalrers are fixing the Loup River Lridge, It Is expected that the road will be repaired sufliclently to allow tealns to be run over it In three or four days. One through telegraph wire was put up this afternoon. Leports recelved here fall to show that any persons were drowned, though quite a num- ber narrowly eseaped. A great many cattle and hogs have been drowned.
