Great Flood in Ohio.-A letter from Circle
vile. Ohio. dated the 4th inst, relates the fol"
lowing particulars of great food IN that state
The Sciota river, swelling by heavy and re-
newed rains, has arisen to height only below
that Of the Great Flood Of 1889, at which
time il was higher than ever known before
This freshet is the more remarkable on ac-
count Of its happening in July; an incident.
never noticed since the settlement OF ONO.
The Corn and Wheat on the Western bot
toms Of the river are entirely under water
But the most destruction was effected upon
the corn, with which almost the whole OF
those rich bottoms were planted. Thonsands
of acres, in the highest state OF cultivation,
were in ten hours completely covered over
with water. Sheep, hogs and cattle swept
away and drowned. The bridges both at Co
lnmbus and this place have been swept away.

The Columbus feeder is also broken, but the
damage done the main canal little distance
below, where the feeder joins it, is Of far great
er extent.
The New York American expresses the o.

The iron steamboat intended to ply as a
regular trader on the Savannah river, between
Savannah and Augusta--the srst iron steam
boat ever used in this country-has heen
launched at Savannah. She draws two feet
four inches without boilers. She has been
called the John Randolph. The protector Of
this novel enterprise is Mr.. G. B. Lamar
The boat we believe is Of British construction,
and as an experiment, was allowed to be i'm
ported either free of duty. or at reduced du-
ty, we do not recollect which.

Ihe Condition Of Haysi.-Extract Of let
ter from an officer on board the United States
ship Falmouth. dated Harbor of Hayti, June
80: "T'here is nothing new 10 this island that
we can learn: the blacks are, or appear to be.
favoraOly disposed towards the people Of the
United States. This city, which once con-
tanned 10000 people. during the French dy-
nasty, is now in a ruinous state, and can with
difficulty count 5000, including a portion Of
Boyer's standing army. At the time of the
negro lnsurrection. and previous to the mas
sacre. this large island was a perfect garden !:
but most OF the then fourishing coffee ana
sugar plantations have been suffered TO per.
Ism, owing to the incidence Of the blacks
The French formerly exported from this isl.
ana large quantities Of sugar, but now thew
do not raise sufficient for home consumption.
Inere are in the city Of Hayti many splendid
buildings or remains of such, crumbiing 70
pieces for the want Of a few days labor; NOT
more than one tenth part Of the buildings are
occupied. The streets were once beautifully
paved, and had commodious side walks, but.
IKE every thing else here, they are going to

Q DO any thing but eat. drink and sleeps |
Ihere are to be found here many men of on.

me large majority are but little better inform
