Knoxville, Tennessee, March 12. The most
disastrous flood ever experienced visited tbU
county last week. Seven days' incessant rain
ing swelled ttic niomitain streams until tho val

river, from its head-waters iu West Virginia, to
the mouth, wr hf-'htr tbun ever before known;
at some points it whs over fifty feet deep. The

thoussnd feet of lumber. The county brirtrre,
built by fieueral Burnsido during the sieeo of

al)submersed. Over one hundred persona were
washed out of tlipir bouses. The towns alonir
the Uolstein and Tcnneec rivers all suffered
severely. Danbrldpro, Lenoir, Loudon and
Jvlntston were all partly submcrcted.
Whole houses were swept down the river,
filled with household food and supplies. The
farmers living near the French Broad and
Uolstein rivers lost everjthina: they had.
Houses', barns, and fences were washed away,
and the stock all drowned. Great numbers of
wealthy tat mors are lelt with not hing but their
bare lands, with crop- all washed out or thickly
coveicd with sediment. One farmer living on.

and barns washed away, his coru and cribs

The Bedford Streitt Mission Its FOUR
TEENTH ANNIVERSARY To-NIOHT. Let not OU6
of our philanthropic citizens forget the anni
versary of the Bedford .Street Mission, at 7U
o'clock this evening, at Concert Hull. Good
speakers will be In attendance, and the simple
mention of their names will guarantee to tlio
audience interesting addresses: Hon. U, Price,
M. C, from Iowa; 1).'. Parish, woli known to our
citizens; Rev. J. Walker Jackson; and Hev.
John . Lous, Missionary. Since good music,
Hinging;, and interesting addresses are an
nounced, no doubtsare entertained but that tho
exercises throughout will be of a pleasing
nature, and should call forth a large attendance
of our citizens. A collection will betaken up
to defray contingent expenses.
The Bedford Street Mission has performed,
and is to-day oarrying on, a glorious work. It
is the only cheering light which shlues forth
from that darkened community, where vice
in all its various f rms, ignorance and infamy,
abound. Probably no neighborhood could be
found which affords less inducement lor tho
establishing and sustaining of a missionary
institution of this kind than the one in
whose midst it is situated. Yet the Bedford
street Mission, with Its corps of Christian
teachers, who. by their earnest labors and un
tiring effbrtB. have furthered its plans, is to-day
one of the most successful, prosperous, and
promising institutions for the gathering in of
the little ones, who are educated, aided, saved
from want, and kept from disgrace. The only
nope for the redemption of that community
surrounding the Mission lies in the education
and Christianizing of t lie rising generation,
'tiefore they become addicted to the evils and
habits of the place.
Yesterday we had the pleasure of visiting the
Mission House, and were surprised to lind it in
such a promising condition, and would say to
all our philanthropic friends, that it is worthy
their liberal patronage; since the work is of
a humane and buncvolcnt one.
The children, numbering about two hundred
and City, and averaging ationt six years, looked
lldy, might, frrsli, and clean; they appeared
studious, and recited their lessons in a manner
which might make other and older scholars
blush. The inlant depurlmont, numbering
etglitv-flvp scholars, is under the special charge
of MissOrd; while the higher department, con
taining eighty-two girls and sovenly-six boys,
iMunuerthe keeping of Miss Jones, principal;
assisted bv Misses Huberts and Kuowles. Kev.
John B. Long is tho missionary and general
superintendent of the Institution. Besides pro
viding for the many almost homeless and desti
tute children now in charge of the Mission,
last year there were distributed among the poor
of the vicinity and wiio would otherwise have
suffered extremes! poverty and destitution
more than two thousand dollars' worth ot arti
cles, Not ouly has that been done; but by the
intercession of many a grief-stricken mother,
many a son, who was just at the threshhold of
crime, has been given a home and saved from
destruction, by the efforts of those connected
with the Mission.
A few suggestions with reference to the con
dition of Bedford street might not bo amiss. It
has generally been granted of late to be one of
tbe most filthy streets within the precincts of
the "Quaker City." The experience of the last
year should teaoh us a lesson, and we should
lake imraediatemeasurcsforits purification, for
it was in this street that tiie cholera first made
its dreadful appearance; and under the present
circumstances and vendition of that neign
borhood, the invitation appears good for its
appearance a second time, unless measures are
immediately lnbtitnted for the cleansing, ven
tilation, and puriticatiou of this iufectud
district. i

$ A Boy, Attempting to Escape from an Ofki-
Kit, Jumps from a Foukth-.stohy Window
TO'lHF. STHKF.T AND IS FATALLY IN.IUKKD.
John Downey and Frank, his brothor, aged
respectively thirteen and seventoen years, have
for a long time carried on robberies of consider
able amount at the South street wharf. They
managed to steal from Jersey marketers all
manner of valuables, such as chickens, vegeta
bles, and loose clothing. The police have been
searching for them tor some time.
This morning Officer Ferguson spied them at
their operations ou the wharf, and gave chase.
The boys ran up to Penn street, below South,
into a brick building, and up to the fourth
story, hoping to get on the roof by means of the
trap-door, and hold it down. But finding the
ollicer at their heels, and dreading to be taken
into custody, John ran to a dormer window ou
this fourth story, Jumped out, and eame down
on to pavement with such force as to
produce insensibility. When help arrived
it was ascertained that one of his limbs
was broken between the knee aud hip,
a deep gash was under his chin, several contu
sions on the skull, and a doctor present stated
that he was seriously, if not fatally Injured in
ternally. It is thought that when he jumped
he believed he would nllght on another root, us
he would if he bail leaped from another win
dow nearby, but which in the exoltomcnt bo
missed. He was removed to his home in Penn
street, between Lombard and South, and from
thence to the Hospital. The other boy, Frank,
was arrested just as his brother leaped, and

Washington, March 13.
The Bonllgny Laud Grant.
The time ofihe morninir session of the House
je-tcrday was almost entirely oocupi d by
Mefors. W'sshburne, of Wisconiin. and Wood
bridge, of Vermont, In n personal explanation
that amounted to a debate on the resolution
iustrtictlUK the Secretary of the Interior to
delay action on the bill passed last sension,
prnntintr seventy-five thousand acres of land
in Louhiona to tbo heirs of John E. Bouliftny.
Tueasfcrnon of fraud on the part ol the c lsitu
nnta and the development that Mr. Wahburne
threatened to make, Induced theIlouse to vote
for a resolution that checks the operation of a
completed law oflast seslop. The law trranted
one-sixth of four hundred and tllty thousand
acie to the heirs of Bouligny, anil, it is claimed
by Mr. Washburne, authorizes the clmmauts to
acquire title to anv unoccupied public lands.
The hhiory of the ciiim, as stated bv Mr Wash
burne, is "that it derives its oricin from tlio
famous Mississippi scheme of John Law no
toriety. Law claimed from a print
nlleped to have beeu made by the King of
France in 1717. In 1835, the heirs of a
Frenchman named H'Antrieve sot up a claim,
when Congress parsed a bill authorizincr the
claimiints to appear before the ollicers of the
Land Oflico to make proof of their claim. The
case went to the Supteme Court, which on lull
review declared the claim illegal and void. It
was afterwards reviewed by a petition io the
Thirty-filth Conpress; but no action was taken
until the Houpe ot Representatives of the Thirty
sixth Conpress allowed the claim for the bene
fit of the heirs of D'Antrieve, the Senate not
aerpeiiiR. Buuiigny, from whom the present
claimants claim, was a member of the com
mittee which recommended the claim to that
House. The matter was again introduced by
tlia heirs of bouliany in the last Congress,
which passed the bill now objected to. Tins is
a bne I outline of the case as (riven by Mr.
Washburne, who further states that there was
no evidence before Conzress showing that
Boullgny himself was an heir, or had any claim
to the property. Many ot these statements are
denied by some ot tho members of the com
mittee that passed the claim. Should the inves
tigation which the affair will have to submit to
by this Congress confirm the histery given, it
will piobably prove to members that ttiej are
sometimes given to loose legislation.

Mr. Fernando Wood opposed the bill, for tw rea
sons: First, becnuse he was opposed to the distribu

cause be was satisfied from recent observation In that

quired flits measure. The people there requires!
nothing Irom the North except protection for lliolr
civil righta, aud Northern capital to devolope their
Industry.
Mr. Williams (tnd.) opposed the Joint resolution,
because the charity of the Government could be bet
ter applied to tho widows and orphans of the North,
