We are sory to 3eo such good citizens and pleasant neighbors depart from our The lumbermen are once more happy. After several weeks of anx ious waiting, the flood a good big one is here. Rafts commenced run ning out of the creek on Sunday 'af ternoon, and by Monday evening the creek was crammed, jammed full and out yesterday. On Monday afternoon things were very lively at the mouth of the creek. The water had risen above rafting stage, besides which there were several "slashes" on the dams along the creek, which had to be let off in order that rafts could come down. This extra supply of water swelled the stream materially and made the current very rapid. Creek pieces came out minus a forward oar ; some without any oars, and some with neither oars nor men. The creek was full of pieces of rafts, loose boards, lath, drift, &c. All this had to stop at the bridge, as the channel below that was filled up and navigation closed. The up-shot was that a great deal of lumber was destroyed, and boards, grubs and cables were snap ping and flying in every direction, and for a short time it was "port o'danger ous to be safe around thar." No one was hurt, but several narrowly es caped. Many of the fleets which are ready will pull out to-day, thus mak ing room for the rest to "couple up," and get their rafts straightened around. We doubt, however, if all will be able to get away on this flood, though the river is now iu high raft ing stage. This freshet is a fortunate one for the lumbermen, and those who have been lucky enough to be ready to start their rafts are wearing pleasant countenances. May they all get through safely, and return with their pockets filled with cash Just as wo had got our paper fairly to press lu9t Wednesday an alarm of fire was given, which we found to be the Dawson house in the rear of the Fisher property, and oc Relics of the War. The late Capt. Jos. K. Thomas (whose obituary we lately published) while in the "Army of Tennessee," was engaged in the capture of a rebel mail in June, 1864. We had the "pleasure of looking over some of the letters and papers which were shown us by his brother-in-law, S. D. Irwin, Esq., and were much interested and amused by the perusal of the same. The characteristic feature of the etters is the sameness in style . The etters were from a Rebel camp, 25 miles from Helena, Ark. The intro duction is similar in each. As, "I take my pen in band to let you know that I am well and hope these few ines," &c, and end with, "Yours till death." The spelling is bad, but with exceptions mentioned the diction is good. The letters show destitution in the rebel camp, and they write to friends for money and clothing, and, as a late speaker has it, "sboething," An officer writes to his wife to send also a loose negro, Jack preferred," but that he hears "the Yankees have stolen Jack," etc The newspapers, one of which was published at New Berne, N.

The house was damaged about seventy-five to find fault, which, strange to say. some were unreasonable enough to do, our host would answer, "D you, better yourselves. One day, however, we built a camp and prepared tojoccupy it; our host was very wroth, and shook one of the Hancocks, and called Crockett a "cat skinner;" said We were a pack of "Tionesta big bugs," etc. At times our host would treat us to a ''cider cocktail," with a "drop" in it, which we would have gladly dis pensed with.
