BELLE OF PIKE,

a large sidewheel steamer, built fol
the upper river trade, and but recently
chartered by the Memphis and st.
Louis Packet Company to run during
the low water, and had made but one OF
two trips. She started out from here a
few days since with a cargo of seven
hundred and forty-six bales of COM
pressed cotton, owned by Eastern spin
ners, to be reshipped by rail eastward
from Cairo, and purchased here by
Messrs. H. c. Kimball & Co., Charles
T. Curtis and others, and worth,
perhaps, fifty thousand dollars. The
Belle of Pike only got as far as Bradley's,
however, and was compelled to return
on account of the heavy ice, and did so,
going to the mouth of Wolf river, a har-
Dor, from where her lines were parted
when the ice came down, and carried in
it to the foot of Washington street, where
she was caught among the coal barges
and huge cakes of ice, and one barge
crowded under her, while another was
forced into her hull on the outside, and
her cabin partly demolished. She soon
began to fill, and her officers set to work
at once to get her cargo out upon
the high bank, and were thus
euSdkeu I'LL Jay y6StSiudyt Tue DOab set
ting down deeper every moment.
When night set in her entire cabin out
fit had been removed, and about five
hundred bales of cotton had been taken
out-some OF it being rolled out at her
stern upon the coal flat that lay under
her and upon its bow that stood up high
over another fiat, and from there rolled
upon and over the deck of the
r. P. Walt to the bank. The force
of the ice carried the upper
works of the Belle of Pike away from
her hull until. they projected several feet
over that toward the shore, and the
flat that went under her no doubt broke
her hull and timbers badly. In fact, an
old steambOatman remarked that she
was the worst broken boat he had ever
seen. She will no doubt settle down ard
sink during the night. She was valued
at thirty thousand dollars, and insured
in Pittsburg offices for two-thirds of that
amount.

GOING TO A BaeAD FIELD.

Mr.. Clint Parkhorst, with much regret,
has resigned his connection with the ARGUS,
in order to test his fortunes on the crowded
newspaper field of Chicago. he has been
appointed on the staff Of one of the largest
dailies OF that city, and will commence his
duties uext Monday. He has three times
been connected with this paper, and we tax g
pleasure in saying tina, we have invariably
found him honorable, energetic, and reliable.
As q ready, rapid writer he has no superior
hereabouts, and although the chances are
always against a country writer going TO a
large city, we have not the slightest doubt
but that his present appointment will prove
q stepping stone to greater responsibilities.
We believe time will show that be possesses
the ambition and ability TO reach almost any
position on the metropolitan press. We
are sorry to part with him, but believe he is
largely the gamer by our loss. To his new
associates we speak q strong word of favor
