At 9 1-4 o'clock last evening, three
spans of the bridge at Bridgeport gave
way and floated off, and six others were
floated away yesterday morning. There
is no expectation of saving the remaining
five spans on this side, as the freshet was
raising late in the afternoon at the rate
of one inch an hour. It is reported that
one of the watchmen at the bridge was
drowned. -',
The news was received By-Col. Innis
yesterday, that two bridges between Bass
station and Stevenson had given way,
and that the neighborhood was a vast in
laud sea. ' 1 '
Colonel Jnnis afso received from At
lanta, via New Orleans, a reply to one of
his telegrams, stating that two bridges on
the Western and Atlantic railroad, be
tween Resaca and Adair sville, were
gone; that 175 feet of the bridge at Re
saca had been swept away ; that the la
test advices reported heavy rams at Chat
tanooga on Sunday, attended by a fnrther
rise ; that telegraphic communication was
intact as far as Ringgold ; apd that every
indication made it probable that Cbata

also slated that the road between Atlanta

The Cumberland at this point is still

during Sunday night, and about &ix inch
es Monday. At five oxjock yesterday
evening, ball an inch per hour was' the
upward gain. At the upper landing,
adjacent to Broad street, the water laved
with it9 ripples the base of two or three
warehouses the're. Sunday morning! two
or three drays might have been driven
abrest along the slopes of the levy with
out touching tha water. The present
rise is still Rome twelre inches below
the flood of 1S65, and about four feet be
low that of 1847. during which deluge,
jsteajmers sailed far up Broad street to
the foot of the slope to discharge their
cargoes. It is reported that a fifteen
fcot rise is on the way down from Mcnti
cello. This tyoald make a rise of about
four feet here. The report, however, is
discredited, and urehopewnh foundation.
The addition of four feet mere water to
the swollen tide cf the Cumberland,
would be productive of an immense
amount cf damage.
Already there are fuly two thousand
acres of land oversowed in Nashville and
vicinity, and at least one thousand fami
lies have teen driven into the upper sto
ries of their dwellings. The flats along
the Lick Branch present the appearance
ct a small take running back close to the
Chattanooga depot. The surface of the
water is diversified with several floating
houses, and others with a portion of the
roof end chimneys just risible. Sulphur
water is at a premium, the spring b?;cg
ecmethir.g like a dozen or fifteea fc-el
under the turbid Mood.
A good portion of Smoky Row is uu-
dergcicg a talstary f-ricatica asd st(.
ieast the basements of scores of houses
in this delectable locality will receive the
benefit cf a thorough soaking. Boat3

At the lower landing the water his

by means of a dug-out.
Several cf the cotton merchants, with
warehouses in this portion of the cuy,
have been actively engaged for two days
past in removing their CGi.cn to a less
dangerous posiiion, the flood threatening
to innundate the site where their store
houses are located. Hundreds of people
visited the higher portions of the city,
yesterday, to get a view of the broad ex
panse of water which surrounds the city.
Tbe suspension bridge and the capitol
were favorite points for the-sight-seers.
The river, at a late hour last night,
was rising slowly, and it is thought by
many that it will have reached its maxi
mum by this morning. Press and Times,

The Lower Mississippi is at a very
high stage, and sweeping all before it
The levee twelve mtle3 below Memphis
gave way last Thursday, flooding several
plantations. Cattle are being drowned
ia every direction, and hoses and ware
houses are submerged. Tbe Mississippi
and St. Francis river extend over the
low lands frp.ri above Helena down to
Lake Providence. The water are run
ning through the lower part of Helena
with great violence, and the citizens of
that place were forced to seek safety cn
the wharf boats, flit boats and crafts of
every description. It is painful to wit
ness the destruction caused by the great
overflow. . From Columbus down to the
Balize, the wild waste of waters have no
visible boundaries. The plantations are
submerged, with the houses and stock
surrounded by water, and in danger, of
being washed away. The plamauons
between Memphis and Vicksburg are
nearly nil overflowed. The Vicksburg
packet Ditn Able was compelled to put
her freight out in small boats. At some
places the river is from ten to fifteen
miles wide, and, we fear, will terminate
in much loss of property. Mtmphis Bui
tetin, 9lh.
One of our exchanges has the follow
mg, from Illinois and Indiana:
We continue to hear of damage by
the flood. The loss of property by the
great overflow at Wilmington, Illinois,
is estimated at over S100.000. The
freshet on the Illinois river is greater
than feas been known for thirteen years
We hear of bridges being carried away
in many places. There is cot a river or
a creek in Illinois that is not booming.
We learn that the wagon bridge at La
salle and Peru are gone, and that nearly
every bridge in that region is more or
less damaged, The low lands every
where are covered with water.
The Wabash river last Sunday week
was near eight miles wide. The bottom
country has been entirely submerged, to
tbe great destruction of all kinds of property.-
Families have beep 4r!yep from
their homes, and are now camping upon
adjacent hills, while their homes are
filled with water.
THE gENTnCKY RIVER.
The Kentucky river is higher now
than it has been since the great flood of
1847. It rose four feet last night, and
from the drift which is now running, old
river men say that we may look for at
least three feet more. It rained here
incessantly all last night.
A large portion of the city north of the
railroad is now inundated. The turn
pike between here and Lawrenceburg is
in many places under water, and impas
sable. Tbe river here, early this morning,
was covered with hay, shocks of corn.
new rails, hen coops, &c, showing that
the rise above must have been-tremend
ous and sudden.
P. S. 3 1-2 d. m The river is cow
two inches higher than it was in 1837. It
is now rising at the rate of three inches
per huT.Louisvill: Courier Mar. 12.
The sity, seen from the river, presents
a curious appearance, ihe water is in
the second stones of most of the house
along the levee, while Shippingsport, the
Point and other localities are entirely
Submerged, and their position ou!y to be
defined by the houses and house tops pro
jecting from the rapidly flowing $ro-U.
In the urner portion of the city the saw

mills are all under water nearly to the
roofs cf most of them, and all the lumber
yards and frame shanties are -!oat.
Bear Grass creek and the river are blen
ded into one great stream, with all the
Bear Grass bridges several feet under
water. The rolling mills is seme ten
feet lown, and the waves are laving the
bank within a couple of feet of the gas
works. Down .the river farther, the
stream ha? left only a small landing
place Et the footcf Third street, at which
a 1 a a f
steaiaboats are fc.uuied close icgethtr,
loading and unloading their freights.
In all the cross streets below Third,
the water extends up nearly half the
square reaching nearly up to Gray's
alley on Fourth sireeu the water beicg
c!qso up lo ih? ceiling in Ben. Darret's
store. Wherever the steamboats could
find landings they availed themselves cf

points favorable. The panal and river

The river is now very hijb. at this
place. The lamp post's along W ater street
stand far ou in the river, wiih the water
nearly up to their tops. Some of them
have been broken down by the drift logs.
The railroad track and turn-table, near
the wharf boat, are under waer, and
most of the hoqses from Upper Fourth to
Lower First Street, have been vacated
Capt. Reamer's mammoth warehouse,
against which steamers now land, is above
water a foot or more, but it may yet be
compelled to go under before the river
falls. '
The country from here to the mouth cf
the Ohio, has been flooded for about four
weeks, and the people need not expect
relief fcr two or thre weeks to come.
With the river so high, so many houses
nearly half covered, corn cribs, barns.
stables and fences deep i;a the water, a
heavy wind at this tuna would do a vast
J amount ot damage, ae ting nearly every
thing cn the low ground afloat. Tbe
steamers can land at but few places along
the shcre. fhe mail, passengers and
light freight are frequently sent ashore
in the yawl. Sometimes, with great haz
ard, skiffs go from the shore la the mail

There is every reason to believe that
we may expect an extraordinary nsa in
the Ohio river very sooq. It is pow
higher, by nearly eighteen inches, than
it was during the last rise, in the latter
part of February,
The highest flood ever known was that
of 1832, when the water was sixty-three
feet in the channel ; the next highest was
that of 1847, which was but little less
than that figure. Since that period we
have had three floods, that of rebruary.
1859. when it rose to 55 1-2 feetj'of
January, 1S62, when it reached 56 feet
11 inches; that of March, 1865, when it
was 56 feet 3 inches. At the late rise,
in February of th:3 year, it attained the
height of 54 feet 1 inch.
At dark last eyepicg there were 55
feet in the channel, and still rising at the
rate of one-half inch per hour It is
possible that it will be rising more rapi
illy to-day.
L The lower stories of all th9 buildings
from the Little Miami depot are over
flowed, and in some cases the water reach
es almost to the ceilings; Dearly all the
coal yards cn the river frcnt are half or
more covered with water, whila the ele
valors at various points have ceased to
work.
The cellers which open into the sew
ers are all partially filled with water, as
far up as Columbia street, and hundreds
of workmen are employed in removing
articles stored there from the flood. The
damage done in this way will not be so
large, however, as it would have been
had not the proprietors of stores taken
time by the forelock, and been prepared
for the swel'in? waters.
The Ohio Si Mississippi railroad track
is all rignt yet, and the trains come in cs
usual; but if tbe waters continue to
swell, this will not be the condition cf af
fairs very long.
The Illinois Central railroad has thus
far been kept open by ihe operations of
two or three steam engines, and about
the same number of typhon pumps.
Should the rivej continue to rise, howev.
er, it will be utterly impossible to keep
the track opeq.
The lower portion of sixth street is
several feet under water, and ihe floor
of the bridge is overflowed. There is
no travel over the street west of Free
man. The number of houses in West
End which have been rendered uninhab
itable will exceed onB hundred. Many
ci heso near the Millcreek bridge are
in the water up to their second stories.
Tbe occupants, however, have generally
managed to save their valuables.
Harrison avenue, as yet, is above wa
ter, and a further rise of about two feet
will be required to submerge any portion
of ji. The Hamilton and Dayton rail
road track is high and dry.
Millcreek bottom, in the direction of
Cumtuinsviile, is one vast like, and &
large number of houses are deep in the
water.
The suburbs of Pendleton aci cf the
Seventeenth ward have thus far escaped
additional material damage consequent to
the still rapidly rising river. A few oc
cupants of small houses upon the river
bank have been compelled toabacd them,
and a number of residences fronting cn
the extreme cf East Front street, near
Tcrrence road, may yet have to be vaca
ted. None cf the .vcrkshops, however,
are yet compelled to close up.
We understand that ihe water has
partially covered the first floor cf ihe
waterworks engine luilJirgs, but 3 far
it has not dene material damage.

partner over fifteen years ao. Ia ext:it
iuu magnitude it is, to tbe best cf c-jr
knowledge, far ahead cf any li'3 s:ab?
lishmem a'ong the va!ey cf ths Missouri.
Their business house, Nc3. 3 and 5, Si:
ond street, wiU compare fwcrab'y wlh
any house in the West. It3 ihrea flocn,
with cellar, are filled with all kinds cf
Drugs, patent SJeiicines, QUss, Chemi
cals, Paints, Oils, Dye stuffs. Pure Wines
and Liquors, Books and Stationary, iw.,
all arranged with necessary and carsfal
regard for order. We visited tha hr;j
a few days ago, arjd ths.fcu'ge bixsi c
freight then arriving was evidence that
the large stock of goods already qhm4
was receiving reinforcements, prior ta tha
full opening of the spring ca ip aga. .
.One feature cf this enterprising ho-izi
13 that all connected with it have ha4
years of experence in the business. Tha
commercial pareer cf Gea. Peaick ia toa
well known in the Northwest to nasi
mention. Mr. Loving has baen in th
business from early youth, and as a buys?
none stand higher ia tha estimation cf
our merchaats, a matter cf great imp-r
tance ia a wholesale establishment, ir.a
king' such large purchases in the Eastern
markets.? Mr. Jos. S. Browne, the third
partner, a praciical druggist and a thor
ough business naa, is always at hij pai:
in the sales room, and by long association
with the house, has a full knowledga cf
the details cf its business and the winis
of the Northwest. Mr. Dan. O'Toole.
the remaining partner, js in charga of
the dispensary and retail department ; h
has passed twenty years in the drug busi
ness, and is pronounced one of the bes:
chemists in the weastern country. Mr.
Jos. R. Good, of ripe experience in ey
ery branch of the business, is also in lb
sample room, an j a fOforcs cf indefat
igable and experienced clerks can al.viyj
be found ia the other departments. Nj
doubt the practical experience cf all tha
members of the firm, and the far. that
they command an abundance c capitol,
and are thus enabled tg s?;ure- their
drugs and other articles ct the lowest
cash prices, is the secret cf their knowl
edge success and prosperity.
It is a mauer cf course impossible fcr
us, ia the columns cf the Hikalo, to
enumerate the articles to be found in this
establishment, but to state the truth ia a
few words, no article conceivable with
in the range cf a drug or book store, in
cluded within the demands cf a country
trade, has been neglected as a part cf
the stock of this firm.
We take pleasure in referring ta th
promptness and enterprise manifested by
each member of this firm in tha fulfil
ment of the constantly increasing" de
mands cf their trade, and ia recording
the fact ihat with the recent additions tr
their vast stock of good3, the aregata
value of the same surpastes that of any
like establishment ja the tjcrthwest. Zf.

trough where he is accustomed to drink.
and plunged his trunk into the water.
then returned to Lis den, and raising hit
trunk, with the water h absorbed, ha
dashed cut the unfortunate rat, which
was ia a sheet cf water like that hs-jin?
from a fire engine. When the rat fell
to the ground the elerhat ssized hira

and projection four time?. At the fc;rt'
throw it fell dead. The elephant, vita

foot, and then :vent rcur.i to the inspec
