The FLooD.-The damage done by the late flood
appears to have been great and general throughout
the interior of Indiana and Ohio. So far have
received intelligence the story is the from all
quarters,-lOss of conn., stock, and fences,-ond the
destruction of bridges, dams, and mills, to meal
cuable extent. The town of Dayton, Ohio, seems to
have suffered more than any other so far have
heard. 1t is supposed that the loss there will not be
less than $4,000. The White Water Canal, in
GLIDING aqueducts and bridges, damaged to the
amount of SO 900 at the lowest estimaes the Gen.
trail canal to the amount of $4,000. But we have
not space at present for particulars.

The following extract from petition forwarded to
the General Assembly from the citizens of Brookville
gives account of the effect of the late freshe at
that point:
''They represent that on Friday the LIST day of
January, lS47, the valley of the White Water River
was visited by a violent and extraordinary freshet
which has resulted in terrible destruction of pro-
perty.
'From the exposed situation of the southern exrem-
ity of the town of Brookville, upon low point of
ground between the junction of the west and east
branches of the river, the loss of property and
quent desitution of the inhabitants has been
At two O'Clock the east branch burst over the artificial
bank which confines it upon the western side, and in
few moments all that part of the town referred
was submerged the inhabitants having barely time TO
escape with their lives. So powerful the current
in this quarter, that both banks of the White Water
Valley Canal were swept away, and the water from
both branches occupied the former site of the town
Dwelling houses and their contents outhouses, mills
and bridges were swept off,
In addition to the above learn from letters re-
ceived, that the aqueduct at Laurel, is gone The
embankments at several points, and the eeder-dams
of the canal at several points, seriously injured
One letter says that the low bottom farms of the
White Water swept of their fences; several
dwelling houses and barns removed, and a great
deal Of the best land was ruined by deposes of sand
banks"
The White Water was six feet higher than at any
former PERIOD since It's first settlement by the whites
and the damages to the canal are yariousIy estimated
at from seventy-fve TO two hundred thousand dollars

Dear Edgar! thou hast left us
In silent, lonely sadness,
But cruel death has 'reft US
OF one sweet source of gladness-
Yet why should we in grief repine,
Since such blissful change is thine?
It was pleasant to behold thee,
And feel thy sweet caresses;
Yea, in our arms enfold thee,
And smooth thy auburn tresses-
Yet we will not our loss deplore,
Nor love thee less, but JESUS more.
How peaceful was thy spirit
In thy last hours of anguish!
May we the same inherit
While for thee now we languish-
And calmly kiss the chast'ning rod
Of an all-wise and gracious God.
Of those that loved thee, other
Than parents now are weeping
Alas! that little brother
Who, lonely vigils keeping,
Now missing thee in sportive play,
And at the hour OF parting day.
All stood around thy pillow,
When nature was expiring,
And bent like the prone willow,
Thy fading form admiring-
And, as thou partedst from their view,
Wept loud, a sad, last adieu.
Yet soon we hope to meet thee
Where parting never cometh,
And evermore to greet thee
Where life immortal bloometh.
So Edgar, dear! short FAREWELL!
Till we with thee in glory dwell.

From the Arny.

MOVEMENTS AT ALvARADo AND JALApA
| BY the arrival ofthe ship Louisville, lat New
Orleans, from Vera Cruz, we have advices tc
the 3d inst
| The inhabitants of Alyarado sent an en-
bassy to Gen. Scott offering to surrender the
town. royided he would guarantee the safety
of their lives and property.
! Jalapa also sent in lis Alcalde with civil
| escort, proflcring the surrender of the town
| and praying that American troops might be
sent to take possession Of the town, and pro
tect the inhabitants and their property.
Gen. Twiggs had left with $500 men; and
Harvey with the second dragons, and Col
Bankhead with the second artillery. A large
train and military force were under marching
orders to proceed to the national bridge.
Gen. La Vega had evacuated his post at
the National Bridge-a position supposed to
be one Of the strongest in the world and be-
ing on the only route from Vera Cruz to the
city of Mexico.
This was done ostensibly because he was
not supported by the govcrnment-pcrhaps
the memory Of the proves of our troops at
Resaca dc la Palma had more to do with it.
Gen. Vega then marched on towards the
city of Mexico, with two thousand men and
nine pieces of artillery.
The Delta says: "a large number ofmules
are now on their way to Vera Cruz, and large
orders came over here for other supplies
When the army is encamped at Jalapa, the
supplies will be landed at Antigua which is
forty miles nearer to Jalapa than Vera Cruz.
The army was in excellent health, except
some sickness of an unimportant character,
among the Pennsylvania Volunteers. The
troops out of the city are very disagreeably
situated on the sand-hills and among the
lagoons, and ara very impatient to commence
the march to more agreeable position"
GA great many laborers are employed in
cleaning the streets Of Vera Cruz, which are
in a horribly filthy condition. A stencil per-
vades the whole city, particularly that part
Of it which suffered most from our cannon.
1t is supposed that there must be many per-
sons buried beneath the ruins of the houses
destroyed by ourshells. Everything gets along
smoothly under Gen. Worth's government.
Several volunteers were under arrest for out
RACES against the Mexican people, They are
to be tried under Gen. SCOTS order issued
some time ago, in Tampico, s. it is said, from
the tone ofSentiment prevailing in the army
they will be severely dealt with.
