The following from the Pittsburgh Times
will serve to give some idea Of the suffering
and loss of life and property occasioned by
the late distressing flood.
\ correspondent at Cincinnati gives us a
mourniuI account Of the ravages Of the flood
which happily has now passed, and the clti-
zens Of Cincinnati are in q fair way to be
soon at their old homes. Independence hall,
the Court House, Cathedral. twelve Church
es, and three Engine Houses have been
thrown open 10 tho sufferers during their trou-
bic.
The whole lower part Of the city is sub
merged, and the streets, where a day or Two
ago, drays, and wagons were loading and
unloading, are now filled with boats of eve
~ description, from the canal boat to the
skif.
The waters extend up to Pearl ST.. and the
Broadway Hotel, one Of the largest in the
city. is completely surrounded, the boarders
being forced to go in and out in boats.
That part of the town known as Texas"
suffers greatly. Its inhabitants are general
" poor, and hundreds of them have not Il
roof under which to lay their heads.
Louisville shares this misfortune with
Cincinnati. as it also is partially overlooked.
All the small towns between these two pla-
ces are completely inundated, and deserted
by their inhabitants. Lawrenceburgh, We
way, &c. are all under water.
The Commercial of Friday morning, says:
By passengers on the steamer Lancaster,
we learn that the towns of Neville, Mos
COW, Belmont, New Richmond, Point Pleas.
ant and Palestine, are all entirely overflow
ed and that the people have been driven tc
the hills, where they had erected tents, and
taken shelter in barns, &c. Some are in Z
deplorable condition, and two persons be-
tween Neville and Point Pleasant, Mrs. al.
ice Rickson and George Brownson, who
were in feeble health, died in the hills from
exposure.
The bottom lands of the Miami are entire
ly inundated, and many of the houses show
but their chimney tops, while many Of them
have been carried away.
The railroad track is entirely submerged,
The water in some places standing at u
height above the chimney tops Of a locomo-
tive.
Several thousand bushels of corn which
had been left in the fields, have passed out
of the Miami into the Ohio within the last
two days, and a passenger informs us that at
the time he passed, that stream was literally
covered with corn, wrecks Of fences, drift,
etc.
The Lancaster passed, on her way down,
three houses, one a tavern, belonging to Pal
estinp. the other a small frame cottage, with
turned column portico, and the other a large
barn, with gable windows, in which several
fowls were quietly roosting. Evidences Of
the wreck and destruction above are constant
' ly passing the city.
OF the towns below, We have the follow
ing information Lawrencehurg is entirely
I under water. Nearly all the inhabitants haC
l been compelled to leave their residences, anC
= find places where they could, in the neigh

Il brought up about three hundred houseles
u families.
u Great apprehensions were felt at Rlsin.
