one is here. Rafts commenced run

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

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
