PITTsBURG.-The Commercial of
Monday says
Yesterday was a day Of anxiety
among river men and parties interest
ed In boating affairs. The Allegheny
ice was expected to run out. About
4 A. NJ. it began to give way, carrying
pretty much all before it, sinking the
Leader tow boat, one of the Saw Mill
/ Run ferry boats, causing a general
smash up among boats along shore.
The ice in the Allegheny is very
+ heavy, and extended from shore to
/ shore all day No boat would think
/ of venturing out until the river is
! clear Of ice. We have boats partially
/ loaded for various ports, but none will
/ think Of leaving before tomorrow.
I
! getting their lows ready for trip to
the lower ports.
! Several barges we're swept away by
4 the ice, one belonging to the Coal
1 Hill, loaded with coal, being lost. 1t
was reported that barge loaded with
iron had sunk at Rochester yesterday
morning, but it will take little time
to gather the particulars.
/ Dispatches about the break up in the
/ Allegheny were received yesterday.
/ OIL CITY-The ice gave way during
/ the night and run out, doing but little
/ damage so far as we could ascertain.
] The tOwboat Leader, owned by
Messrs. Clarke & Co., was sunk on
Saturday night at the mouth Of the
Allegheny. She will probably be
raised.
CINoINNATI-The Commercial of
Tuesday says:
The remains of Miss Isabella Mir
rielles, sister of Capt. Ben. w. Mir
RELIES, of the Silver Moon, arrived
here from New Orleans on the Alas
ka. yesterday.
Capt. Hiram Vinton and Messrs.
Mcintyre and Harvey. Of the i'll
fated Amazon, also arrived here on
the Alaska.
The circus boat Coosa arrived from
below with a large number Of AMI
mails on board. They were taken off
the boat to quarters up town.
LoUIsvILLE.-The Courier of Tues
day says:
On the falls last evening there were
6 feet inches water IN the pass, down
the Indian chute, and the river swell
ing very slowly.
A good rise may be soon expected,
with an abundance of water on the
falls for all navigable purposes, for
ascending boats.
The stern wheel steamer Louisville,
from New Orleans, after a long and
tedious trial, succeeded In ascending
the falls yesterday, aud departed for
Cincinnati. She worked up to the
turn or eddy, and then cordeilled
round the point, but after striking the
still current jast below the big mill,
had to call hastily for help, and the
gallant towboat Peytona went to the
rescue, and their combined efforts sue
ceeded in stemming the falls.
The Democrat says:
The people of Uniontown are at
last to have a wharf, a fact which
steamboatmen will learn with pleas
ure, as large quantities of tobacco are
shipped from that place. The Legis-
latuIe, few days since, appropriated
all the taxes collected in the place for
ten years, to making a wharf, and the
work will, no doubt, soon be COM
menced.
ST. LOUIS. - The Democrat, of
Tuesday, says:
Rain drops fell yesterday without in
PERMISSION until the sound became mo-
notonous Rain fell thick and fast for
at least 10 hours after the bright sun
of Sunday had set-a soaking old
fashioned rain. OF rain there has
been a large stock IN the northwest of
late-all over the northwest, until at
latest accounts all the rivulets and
rivers we're vexed even to the extent
of overlooking. The Missouri-3 feet
rise up to Sunday night at st. Jo-
seph; ice all gone and rising slow
ly at Omaha; a pretty heavy fall of
snow In the mountains and valleys
around the source of the Missouri on
Thursday and Friday. The river will
boom some this year. The Upper
Mississippi-rising rapidly at Bur-
lingtOu Saturday and Sunday 80
inches or more of a rise at Keokuk;
and the Illinois high and swell
ing. Seven feet water hence to Cairo,
to be rapidly increased to u feet or
more. Heavy rains at Memphis,
Little Rock, and over a considerable
