UnPraGedeBtedu h and Destructive

The Scioto valley is at the present time
OF writing Thursday the scene of the
most destructive food ever known here.

amount of damage done, to property, ,ThS,
flood has. lasted. for a week-or 1t is ,perbapf'
more correct to say that the river has Been
at flood height twice wiOhin aweek. 1The
first rise was fourteen inches higher th9n
any former records ortgaditilns show; the
present within about two 'teet Of it, and
still slowly rising. TIE destruction to the
crops In the low lands Of tle Valey,tpFa
distance of not less than one hundred and
fifty miles, cannot be otherwise than total.
When it Is understood that the bottom
lands Of the Scioto are the best and hegvss =
est producing corn lands in all the WesSc
and that the entire crop on these lands Is
destroyed, over space Of country one
hundred and fifty mites in length, afid from
alquarter of mile to.two miles intwidtb,
someidea can be had of the amount Of the
losses to the immediate owners, and the
country. An examination Of the corn, af-
ter the water went down ffeffi the flrstiIfse
showed that the crop was gone, or TO say
the least ruined for every purpose except
to turn stock hogs upon, That the present
water will still firGher complete the
destruction Ia eertain.L '1'.1Hiq 10 5sHi
Although theland owners in the valley
will lose their crops aud fences, the loss, To-
the tepapts,, who farm the greater portion
of our bottom lands, will be much the most
severely felt. Everything they have, corn,
potatoes, egetables-their provisions for
the coming winter, for their families and
stock, is all destroyed. These losses, added
to the high prices of meats and breadstiffs,
must present very gloomy picture tOythis
worthy class OF our fellow citizeDs. oyf,sy
We are not fully acquainted with the
damage done along the entire line of the
Ohio canal, but that below this city. on
what is called the two mile level and about
the dam and feeder and feeder banks, can
not fall short OF twenty thousand dollars:
In some places the entire canal banks are
swept away for space of huadred yards
and ten to twenty feet deep from the top Of
the banks. The breaks in the canal feeder
banks were probably the only things which
saved our bridge, acqueduct and railrord
bridge from being swept away. -.i fG.
NJ IL is difficult thing to enumerate the in
dividual losses to farmers in this county.
We do not think the aggregate will fall
much short of two hundred thousand dol

Tn the late speech of Governor Parsons,
of Alabama, in New York, a man who was
stanchly for the Union during the war, we
find the following good hit:
"You hear it said that we at the South
are not loyal. What does loyalty mean {?
1t means obedience to the laws in one sense,
and attachment to the government OF, the

The Cincinnati Commercial, one of the

under date of Feb. -, 1866, said ..,-...,
"Who is to blame for the mischief that

deliberate judgment of the masses of en-

diarrhoea they are necessary. The stomach
must be kept healthy, and an appetite created to
allow the Prlmonic Syrup to act on the respi-
