THE GREAT Ice GORGE At Posr DIP,

THE GREAT Ice GORGE AT Posi- DEPOSIT
Families Seeking Refuge on the HiIs.-By the
great ice gorge in the Susquehanna river at
Port Deposit, one-half the town is inundated,
and great damage has been done to property.
The Underwater ca'ai the Port Deposit branch
railroad, and til Maryland central, have also
sustained great injury from the floods As
stated, the ice was damned from shore To shore,
damming up the water and forcing it over the
banks. No life has been alOst, although many
people have been rendered homeless. Grave
apprehensiOns of future Hanger still exist, and
the breaking up OF the gorge is looked forward
to with anxiety. At II O'Clock last night the
water was reported to be gradually falling
though there were still six feet of water i'm the
main streets. Women and children took refuge
on the hills, where they were building fires all
day yesterday to keep the rain from literally
freezing to their clothing. The ice is gOrged
right opposite to the town and piled up twenty
feet high.

ACoLoGED WEST POINT CADET WITHDRAwS.
Cadet Samuel Gibbs, colOred, son of the secre-
tary of the state of Florida, Withdrew from
West Point on Monday. Samuel Gibbs was APP
pointed a cadet in May, 1872, by a cOlored Con-
eressman from Florida, passed the preliminary
examination, and entered the academy in June.
A correspondent from West Point tells the rea-
SON of the withdrawal. He says 'The January
examinations, which closed about a week ago.
and which proved death TO the military aspira-
tons Of Cadet Gibbs, are represented to have
been unusually severe and searching, and about
twenty of the backward young men were found :
which implies that they were deficient i'm marks.
and failed to pass an examination. In other
words, when a cadet is found he is lost to the
academy and returns to civil life.'' The same
correspondent states that while Gibbs was not
maltreated, he, with Smith, the other coloret
cadet, was completely Ostracised socially by the
other cadets.

The steamer K. c. knight is still aground near
the Long bridge, but il not injured. If we
should now have heavy rains along the upper
Potomac, the rise in the Potomac here would
be unprecedented, and great damage would be
sustained.
