| The Cumberland was lalling slowly yea.
terday, with six feet water on Harpeth
Shoals. ...rr.
There was a slight fall Of snow Sunday,
and it lay on the ground yesterday, the
temperature being too low for thsw. The
clouds last night indicated more snow.
The J. L. Graham arrived in port from
the upper Cumberland She went up "a
as high as Celina, and reports the water flIl-
ing, though there is still enough for bcais
of her class. The Graham leaves on her
return trip at p. NJ, to-day The had 4
good trip down. Her cargo is given else
where.
The Gen. Sigel leaves for the upper Cam
berlsnd to-day.
The Tyrone was due here yesterday, but
had not arrived last evening Nothing had
been heard Of her since she left Cairo.
A dispatch from Capt. w. r. Bell, dated
the Dist at Cairo, states that navigation is
suspended, and the Nashville IS laid up
there, in consequence of the heagy ice
running.
A Cairo dispatch Of the 20th says:
"The ice had crowded in very heavy
above Columbus, but was still moving.
The Railroad packet had failed TO get
through ~ laE lHs sa ll1
The Louisville Cosirisr ofyesterlay says
Like faithful sentinel upon the watch
tower we tell the people thai Hood il i'm
pending Forewarned il forearmed and
and ali dwelling along the river at points
liable to overflow are warned IN time %
prepare for food. The fall Of snow along
the water courses is almost unprecedented,
and if il ''goes off with raiR' we predict the |
most disastrous overflow that has ever |
occurred on the Western waters. The rise |
will be sudden and destructive, az the !
earth's pores are all closed with frose, and !
the rains and melting SHOWS viii find their |
only outlet along the water courses. Febru- !
airy is a prolific month for freIhets but il |
the weather now hardens the big rise may |
be deferred till spring.
On the falls last evening there were six |
feet three inches water in the pass down /
the Indian chute, and the river is "a full as |
ever of heavy masses Of ice. On Saturday, |
Captains Sherley, Pink Marble, Dugan and |
others. had made an effort TO divert the ice |
from the harbor by first cutting a channel |
through the shore ice along The lower |
wharf, and then cutting it up above the |
ferry landing This effort resulted favor |
ably for the time being, as aR immense
body of ice by the action OF the current, |
and the wind combining to "set it off |
shore, was actually detached and went of |
over the falls, leaving q clear space in /
front Of the Darling and the ferry landing, |
but during the evening and night the ice !
gorged in the harbor rs heavily as before /
The Mary Swan, Capt Swan, bound for |
Memphis and White river, is reported !
sunk in the Lower Ohio, near Rockport |
She left here last Tuesday, with a very |
light trip-barely twenty tons-and a few |
passenger, expecting TO pick up a trip on
the way. The boat was owned by Capt. |
Swan, who had her insured in Cincinnati, |
and had been laid mp at Shippingport since
last summer.
The Cincinnati Gazette Of Saturday says: |
The towboat Wild Hoosier was sunk yes
terday BY the ice. She was lying at the |
foot of Race street, and heavy gorge of |
ice striking her on the stern, forced her bow
up on the bank SO far that water run in her
stern and she sunk in a few minutes. She
will be raised to-day at total expense Of |
$500.
The river yesterday Was filed with cakes |
of ice reaching from shore to shore.
