flooded the country, further than we pub
ished yesterday morning, save, perhaps,
some items Of damage TO Railroads. Canals,
and other affairs of minor Importance
There is only one way TO go to Pittsburgh
now, and that is via. Morrow, rad over the
CIV. d 2. r. R., the Central Ohio Rail
road be .ug sound the other side of Zanes-
vile; but between here and there is in bad
condition in the way of washed away
and damaged bridges. The great trcstie
work, some ten miles east has been under
going repairs, and still is ia an unfinished
condition, and thus was swervcd about
os:frora line, but can be easily replaced
The Cleveland d Pittsburgh, and Steu-
benville d Indiana are entirely disabled.
The G. G. d. C. R. R. is the only line
leading from this city, but what has been
dsmaged. The G. P. ~ Ind. makes con-
nections but has felt the force Of the wa
tiers. The large bridge at Loudonville, on
the Pittsburgh, Ft- Wayne & Chicago R.
R.Is washed down, thus leaving serious
gapc on an important route. A water way
on the L. NJ. q x. R. R. got loose and
took about thirty feet of embankment and
track down, but passengers were transfer
red by onuibuses to relief trains, and every
train made its connections. The gap has
been Temporarily bridged IN safe manner,
with heavy sfringers. The bridge over
Big Darby, 10 miles on the same road,
was Somewhat damaged, but notseriously
The damage e the Public Works has
een:immense, probably not less than $780,
900. In this vicinity, about four miles
south, the water is pouring through break
at tremendous rate, epidencing another
break at a tremendous rate, senidencing an,g
other break for an outlet Somewhere below.
Supt. Sbuff1in went to the break and re-
ported tia very bad one. There is also a.
huge hole at Lockbourne. The aqucducta
over the Licking at Newark is gone. and
the canal below has broke through, wasE-
ing away the railroad embankment and
track on the G.. O.liue. - w. ~
We cannot particularize half the casu-
altes, buthope theveporte are exaggerated.
How the Canals are to be put in order we
don't know. The Legislature provided ex-
penses should be paid out of the earnings,
which, ,sin this case, looks like cutting
mans bands off and telling him to make
his living BY work hi 81
The Scioto broke through the National
road between here and FfankIiaton, hav-
ing overflown Ridgewsy's levee, thus inun-
dating the bottom lands of Rrdgeway and
Sullivaut. Sullivant's leree proved all
sufficient and bad Ridgeway's held, no wa
ter would have got on the bottoms between
this city and -Frankliatown. The latter
leyee will. berepaired as soon as the flood
subsidies, and be made several feet above
high water mark - Columbus Journal.
