informed, that on the same disastrous even
ing, of which we have been speaking. the sea
rolled into their harbor, and swept all before
it, in the shape of vegetation, for some quar-
ter Of mile inland, leaving them supply
of fish, which they had sailed and dried-but
doing but little damage. their dwellings being
on an eminence, and they had no crops to
loose. BY their account it must have been
nearly instantaneous, with the occurrence at

theory is, that an. immense vacuum being
made, the water rushes with violence to fill it,
and recovering its level, overAows.

DARING RoBBERIEs Oh SrEAMBoATs-
CHLoRoFoRM UsED.-We learn that a uas-
senger on the Belle Key, while the boat was
lying at New Orleans was robbed of 81, 900,
his all. His room was entered during the
night, and he was robbed while asleep
During the passage Of the boat, and before
she reached Vicksburg, several passengers
were robbed of small amounts of money aud
articles of clothing.
Fhe Martha JeioeH during her upward trip,
about the same time, was infested by THE
yes, who had mixed among the cabin passen-
gers, and not night passed without rob-
berry, or an attempt to rob some of the pas
sengers or to break open their rooms.
The most astounding robbery was that Of
Mr.. w. p. MorreIl, on the 9th INST, on the
Fanny Smith, of four thousand dollars, in
bank notes. On retiring to his berth a,
night, Mr.. Morrell had the precaution to loch
both doors of his stateroom, and to tie his
money in belt around his waist, nextto his
skin. On waking in the morning, he per.
ceived sitting odor in the room. He got up
and on, examining the door, found it wa,
broken OPEN. He next looked for his mo-
ney:-it was gone-both of his shirts having
beef cut open, and the belt emptied ofits con
tents. This daring robbery was no douh
effected by chloroform. -Lo.. Ccnr. r..

%We sincerely pity our neighbors of
Louisville in the semi-annual submersion OF
their wharf and vast number of Offices and
stores, by floods. At this time, they are ex-
periencing 'aIl the delights Of attempting to
transact big river business without any
wharf. The last Courier is filled with de.
tails of submersions, flights from the food
wetting of freight, and directions where tc
find certain offices and steamboats,. Indeed
they remind us very much of Cairo, excepting
that the days of Cairo's submersion have
gone by-she is now high and dry.

As Steamboats,, Canal NJ LOussvill.
The Louisville Courier of Dec. Goth gives
in tabular form, list of Steamboats, now
navigating the Ohio and Mississippi rivers,
that can pass the Canal around the falls =
Al,o the value of each boat at a moderate
estimate, showing in the aggregate an invest
ment of S4,l25,00O in boats of that class,
amounting in number to 275. These boats
range in value from $500 to $4,000; the
Charleston, at the latter figure, the Milton
and Malta at $500 each. The number of
boats navigating the two rivers, of too large
dimensions to pass the canal is 80, the ag-
gregate value of which is $s,960,0OO-rang-
ing in value from Sls 900 to $4,000. The
Iowa being the lowest and the Jacob Strader
the most costly, exceeding that of the NAM
moth Eclipse by $4,000. In Custom House
measurment the Eclipse is the largest boat
by some 100 tons.

UWe regret exceedingly to hear Of our
friend Mr.. Isaac Cromie's loss, in the burn
ing of his Paper Mill at Louisville. We
have dealt with Dir. Cromie for several years
and Ihave repeatedly been under obligations
to him, not only for his promptness in filling
orders, and with always an excellent quality
of paper for the price-but also for mis- nu-
u,erous accommodations, when they were q
matter to us of considerable importance
We have no doubt he has already made ar
engagements to prevent disappointment to
customers, and would heartily recoml no
publishers who have not yet been Riv :
toners, to try his establishment. We hope
he will have another Mill under headway
ere long.

The Louisville Courier says large quanti-
ties of pork have accumulated at Shawnee
town, and it is likely to be lost by the flood.
Four fatboats were purchased at Louisville,
to be towed down by the Jas. Jackson, for
the purpose af saving the pork. Guess ship
pers on the Wabash will hereafter not try
the experiment of sending pork to Shawnee
town, unless It is owned there. We not only
have a wharf at Evansville, never covered
by water entirely, but we have four large
covered wharf boats for dry freight, SO that
shippers on the Wabash may send any hind
of freight to this point, with surity of its
meeting with no accident here from weather
or food. Although Shawneeiown and Mt.
Vernon are below US on the river, yet the
price OF freight TO New Orleans is precisely
the same from one or the other poin-s, and
steamboatmen would prefer getting New Or.

also rather bring freight from the Wabash tc

rAye,"a happy New Year" to all friends,
and speedy repentance to all foes. This is
The fourth time we have had the exceeding
great pleasure of wishing Evansville friends
ga happy New Year. and, never before bub-
shIed up the greeting, from deeper depth Of
patrons all-accept this greeting, not as a
mere formal wish, but as a hearty testimo-
NAL of affection. Certainly it would be
strange, if we regarded with Indifference the
many hundreds to whom we have daily or
weekly held written conversation, for years
past. Nay, it would be stranger than merely
strange-it would be ungateful to those up
onwhose patronage in different forms, we
rely for sustenance and support. But there
is no such Indifference nor ingratitude in our
nature. Whatever other failings may be-
long to that nature, forgetfulness of favors
andingratitude to friends, form no part of its
composition.

patrons of the Journal, and to all the Ladies,

The river continues to rise at fearful rate,
with every apprehension Of food equal 10
the disastrous overflow of lS47., During the
81 hours ending with last evening at s.
O'Clock the nver had risen feet 2 inches in
front of the city. All the houses along the
line Of the wharf were submergeds and the
river extending one Third Of the way up the
cross streets. From daylight. Yesterday
morning APP to A o'clock in the atternoony the
river was rising at the rate of 2 inches per
hour, and from til Is O'Clock it was rising at
the rate of IL inches per hour.
Last evening the water was in on the first
floors of the store of Ford e. Bro, and J. III.
Shredder, on opposite sides Of Wall street,
and the second floors of many Of the houses
on Water street were inundated. The suf-
fering and losses of hundreds of poor fami-
lies who resided along the river is very great.
From the upper wharf all the way up along
the creek, and the saw mills, the whole
country is overlooked, without vestige of
dry ground to he seen in any direction.-
Some or acres of lumber in great danger
of being swept away off by the flood.
The Rolling Mill, FIGURING mills ard the
| Louisville bagging manufactory are inundated
and of course the business suspended. In

ding the boiler makers, and Smithers, are all

The Messrs Towards, ship builders, at
Jacksonville, have 10 about $500 worth of
material which was swept off by the food.
Shippingsport is all overfowed, and Port
land possesses but one dry spot of land; all
| else as far as the eye can reach 10 desert
waste of waters, all the houses along the
shore having the river flowing over their first
floors. z.
AT New Albany the pork houses are en-
dangered by the back water, and the hogs on
the hooks, and the pork in the warehouses
had to be removed. Two of the snag boats
on the stocks are partially under water
Capt. I. G.. Russell, and the contractors are
using every exertion to prevent loss, and
have chained The boats down..
The water rises almost as fast as our mer-
1chants can remove their goods from their
warehouses. c.. Dufield e. Co.. had force
Of 80 men at an expense OF 20 cents per
lhour, engaged % hours in removing hams
from their provision warehouses on the river.
They removed a., 900 hams, and sustained nc
Iloss. At the Farmers tobacco warehouse
500 hogsheads of sugar, and 700 barrels Of
molasses have been stored, by persons who
were threatened by the water.
We learn by our telegraphic dispatches
from Madison last evening at o'clock. that
THE river had risen to within ,eet of the
flood of .lS47, aud was then rising at the
rate OF Ii inches per hour. The river here
has risen to within feet Of .he high water

son is correct, the present food will equal it.

Oh! come 20 me on,
When the light wing of sleep
On my bosom lies soft;
Oh! come when the sea.
{ In the mooa's gentle light,
Beats low on the ear

When the dew's on the flower
And the star on the dew.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh! come ard we'll stray,
Whers the whole year Is crowned
With the blossoms Of May
Where each sound Is as sweet
As the coo Of the dove,
And the gales are as soft
AS the breathDgs OF love:
Where the beams kiss the waves,
And the waves kiss the beach,
And our warm lips may catch
The SWEET lessons they teach.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh! come and we'll fly
Like two winged spirits
Oflove through the sky;
With hand clasped in hand

Result OF the Printers strike i'm So.
l0uss.
Our readers probably remember that the
Printers Of st. Louis had "strike" short
time since. As we predicted at the time, the
result is most magnificent fizzle, and we
hope thate lesson administered tothose we'll
meaning men who allowed themselves to be
controlled BY selfish, bad and designating
persons, msy prove salutary, although itwas
dearly borght. The st. Louis Union notices
the result of the strike as follows:
sss Lou. Cour.
The Printers, Union is now now dissolved
its terrific Rules and Regulations" its
spies and .it- "Chapels," its snathemas aud
its ratings" are all of as little accoun mt, as
il they were laid at rest i'm ''the tomb OF the
Cabuets." Good printers will now be ele-
waited to their proper position, with good
berths, good wages, and the respect of en-
ployers, whilst bad cues, or strictly speaking,
.'rats," will pass muster only at proper dis
count.
Thus it is that evils of the kind, whep.they
become unbearable correct themselves, and
90 good finally, when all their original aim
was to do harm. In common with all our
brethren of the Press, and Book and Job Print
ing Offices in the city, with the exceptions
we have already stately we can now rejoice
that the printing businessis unshackled from
the letters of combination, which under the
pretext OF aiding labor against capital. was
inAictng the most deadly injury on BOTH.
The st. Louis Republican says:
The SrRrKE.-Our readers have been cas-
ualIy informed, that week or 50 ago, the
majority Of the iourneymen composing wnat
is termed the "P rinters' Union" in this city
struck against the employers, who would not
| agree to the terms proposed, and the condi-
tons imposed by them. Only one-perhaps
two-of the newspaper Offices acquiesced in
the measure That "strike" has had its run.
| We are told that at meeting of the "Union''
on Tuesday evening, resolution was passed
permitting its members to 60 to work where
ever they could find employment. But the
mischiefo this proceeding. SO far as many OF
the journeymen are concerned, has motifs end
here. This abandonment Of situation in this
and other offices had the effect Of melting
printers from other cities here, to whom EN-
ployment was of course given, and who are
entitled to, and will retain their "casses' SO
long as they are worthy of them. Good men
men with families dependent upon them
for support-have been thus thrown out OF
employment, at mos. unpropitous season
of the year, by yielding too readily to the
suggestions Of thoughtless and in some cases
unprincpled men. The mischief-makers,
having nothing to keep them, have left the
city, but still there are nanv who cannot find
employment in st. Louis. The result of this
combination ought to satisfy those who have
good situations. whether in printing or any
other business, that it is much better to keep
them, than to suffer themselves to be misled
by artful and designing men-men who have
no real sympathy with them-to their own
serious injury. s
