Its tenets and purposes are sufficiently set forfti in the motto inscribed upon its to the tion of the principles of the Democratil i party, and the promotion of theinteres of Newark city and Licking County'' It is proper, however, to explain a make known the reasons why we have undertaken this enterprise. The business interests of the ADVOCATE have constantly increased from the first day we became its proprietor. From the very onset we found the faculties of the establishment inadequate to subserve its interests and meet the demands of its business.

We at once invested our means liberally to supply all these deficiencies, and the results have been one thing has demanded another, step by step, and the growth of the ADVOCATE in its circulation and business in'every department has been almost phenominal. This, along with the rapid increase in, the manufactoringand business intesests of the City of Newark, has caused us to seriously contemplate the issuing of the DAILY ADVOCATE for many months We weekly totally inacjeqi ate to meet the demands of our own business, or to properly record or keep pace with the constantly increasing industries and enterprises of the city.

Loss of Human Life and Destruction of Lire Stock. YAZOO CITY, March town of Stalatia is entirely submerged. Not a single house is visible. The citizens are all encamped on a range of hills beyond. The river is still rising and is now within six inches of the highest point since 1867.

One hundred dwellings here are submerged. Many business houses are washed out. Refugees from other flooded districts are daily crowding hither and spreading the destitution, which is already appalling. The loss of property cannot be estimated. On the upper Tallahatchie alone 5,000 mules have been drowned.

Boats of all kinds and rafts and floats of every sort are constantly bringing down live stock, and the loss of human lives is reported in every direction. The hills are being crowded with young deers and bears driven from the swamps by the water, and animals of various kinds are encountered on the very outskirts of the town. Some of the Tales of Suffering and Remarkable Incidents. ST. Louis, March captain of a steamboat just returned from the lower Mississippi has been interviewed by newspaper reporter, and relates many remarkable incidents.

The captain gave a description of the manner in which the people lived in houses that were surrounded and par tially submerged by the water. The rafters are cut away from their fastenings and the floors are thus allowed to rise and alTwiSrtbe river. In other words THE FLOOES ABE CONVERTED INTO FLOAT INGRAFTS. This plan is very feasible until the wa- iiigh that tEe floors sre pugfi- ed against the occupants are then forced to cut a bole through the roof and crawl out upon the top, of the house. Every planter in the overflowed district has taken what stock he had room for into one or ths other apartment of his dwelling.

A planter recently below Helena killed a wild animal, and threw it for the time being in the apartment where tbe stock was. To his surprise and alarm the stock voraciously seized and "devoured ir. The stock that are crowded together on the Indian mounds ABE DEVOURING THE ONES THAT DIE with eagerness. "Has any news been received from the water-bound sufferers in the interior?" asked the reporter. "Yes; I believe one man crossed "the Rubicon several days ago." He stated that the only thing upon which those people relied for subsistence was the drowned stock that floated around their dwellings.

"A great many the man reported, "had died back in the country from exposure and malaria It was an impossibility to ktep their bodies in tbe house where the other oc cupants were, anil as a consequence they were thrown into tbe stream to be car ried away with the current." On a higb mound just below the captain continued, be wit nessed one of the most remarkable sights in the world. THE SNAKES OF EVERY SPBCIES That live in the low bottoms and fields had all been driven to this higb spot by the flood. They were there at present in layers two or three feet deep. They were writhing and hissing continually and the noise could be heard for half a mile." What May Happen to a Million Jews LONDON, March Rnlf, of Memel, Prussia, writes to the Jewisl World saying that the decisions of the St. Petersburg Commission on the Jewish question in favor of compelling the Jews to quit rural districts, although ostensibly aimed at the prevention of persecutions, will have the immediate effect of depriviog a million of people of homes and rendering their life unbearable.

ollticlan Charged with Forgery. ATSEKA, March. W. of Sheldon, editor of the Ga- newapaper, prominent Republi- politictan anu an applicant for a lish Consulship, is charged with iving forged commercial paper to the of several thousand dollars and the country. manner in which Sergeant Mason, the would-be slayer of Guiteau, was hurried off to prison has excited great Indignation here among all classes.

It is ascertained, however, that there is nothing irregular in it. The petitions which are beginning to poor in on the President rooi cUi of Uib country beiug luplioated in the business houses and departments. A subscription for the benefit of the sergeants wife and baby was started this afternoon at one office and in a few minutea $50 vere paid over counter by sympathising friends. Similar lists have been placed ia newspaper offices and public resorts and a arge return is anticipated. WASHINGTON.

THAT GARFIED LETTER, Pine Italian Hand An Attack on on Sherman. WASHINGTON. March people here profess to see Conkling's fine Italian hand in the publication of Garfield's letter concerning Rosencrans. Schucker, who furnished the letter to tbe Suit, was Secretary Chase's private Secretary, and took the part of Mrs. Sprague in the contest with Judge Warden, Chase's literary executor.

Garfields letter was kept back from Warder, and the theory of these people is that she gave it to Schuckers for publication at Conkhng's suggestion. Editor Hinton, of the Sunday Gazette, writes an open letter to Senator Sherman, to-day, reviewing the latter's defense before the Investigating Committee, and denouncing the ex-Secretary as having used public property and service of the Treasury for his personal interests and aggrandisement. The LATER. Individual Who Assailed Garfield's Character. His Name is Brown.

WASHINGTON, March author of the letter in the Washington Post, some days ago, over the signature of "Justice," in which a violent attack was made upon the late President Gar. field, will have in to-morrow's Post another letter in reply to nis critics, which is signed with his true name, William Brown. He was a delegate 4o the Chicago Convention from the Seventh District of Kentucky. Burned to Death. SHELBYVILLE, March rine Duffy, aged forty years, living a short distance east of here, was burned to death at 10 o'clock yesterday.

It is supposed her clothing caught fire from a ssove. Her husband was absent, and she was discovered ia the yard by her child after her clothing had been burned off and the body scorched to a crisp. She lived two hours after tbe terrible accident. An inquest will be held. By No Means Bigoted.

In seconding the attempt to villify the dead Garfield, Rosecranshas undertaken a job that will bury him deep in the grave of political oblivion if he does not abandon Leader. Rodecrans is not the person who is vil- lifying Garfield. You can't shield jour own miserable party by blaming a kad ing Democrat. Garfield's own political fellows are tbe ones who are going down into his grave like Gazette. Unhappy Arthur.

Indianapolis President Arthur is reported as much dissatisfied with Ins Washington surroundings. The capital prize in the lot- terj of troubles him. He is paid to doubt if he is in office by the will of the pecple. He does not love to think of himseJf as a bullet-made President. He knows Hayes got into office by the lifting power of perjury, and he thinks assassination worse thai) pet jury, Arthur liked his $50.000 a eai: be likes good victual, good times and good com- panj---that is, jovial comrades; but he is forever hearing, the click of Guiteau's pistol and the whiz of his bullet, and Garfield's exclamation, "My God, what is this!" These things make the President unhappy.

He likes the Republican party; he likes spoils, but he can't get reconciled to the Republican methods of making Presidents--particularly the method in his own case. He is said to be losing flesh, color, nerve, muscle, heart and backbone. The probabilities are that Doreey will and tumble in a lot of documents cajrfiJated to make Arthur mure himself, No wonder that the President igunbeppy.
