We have tried to analyze the above
narrow contracted sentiment, which we
find in the Wheeling Regiaer Of the 22d
Of December, 1876. We are very much
panied to find such sentiment existing
even among the wilds OF West Virginia,
the sWamps Of Florida, or the canebrakeS
Of Louisiana. There is in that sentiment
a narrow.minded, selfish, partisan spirit
manifested that should not meet the re.
sponse Of any intelligent person in the
lAnd-a partisanship that destroys every
vestlge Of patriotism and makes excuses
for bragadocia or cheap bravery at
tritiing expense. Personally, we know
nothing Of Mr.. Evans, but we have known
individuals whose invincibility in peace
was more than equaled by their inyisi.
bility in war.

The Valley river ice broke At an early
hour this morning with about IS feet Of
water in the channel, and unfortunately
for our lumbermcn,th the boom OF the Valley
River Boom and Lumber Co., was broken
and about 10000 logs have been lost
which at an average Of 81 so per log,
would make loss of $4,000 at this
point.
You may look for big river down
your way. The ice foot thick, from
here, will be broken up fine going over the
Falls below here. The loss above, falls
heavily upon three saw mill firms at this

a list OF the Boats Destroyed.

PITTsRURdH, January l4.-The river
at 10 P. NJ. was about 0 feet and falling
rapidly. Still running full of ice.
Weather clear and freezing. The heavy
ice from the upper Mononghela, which
started yesterday afternoon, reached
here about G o'clock this morning, and
the next few hours were irought with dis.
aStcr and ruin to our steamboatmen and
coal merchants, unequalled in the history
Of Pittsburgh. Seventy steamboats were
in the river, OF which forty.two lay at
the city wharf, together with ten model
barges. Several basges and fats were
tied up at the landings, and forty, more.
or.less anchored to the piers Of the Bir-
mingham bridge, while near 100 loaded
barges were moored on the South Side.
Most OF the steamboats, had steam up
waiting for the crisis, and this was about
the only thing that could be done. The tow
boat Relief was among the first OF the
steam vessels to be caught in the raging
torrent. Itwas lying in front Of chess,
smythe & Co.'s Nail Works, just above
dam No. l. A feet Of heavily laden coal
barges struck it on tho side, slowing it in
and sinking the steamer in short time.
The Relief was tho property of Robert
Craig, and is a total loss; value $1,000.
The work OF destruction lasted for sever
al hours, and was witnessed by thousands

How They Feel About il Down
South.

lFrom tho Memphis tTcnn.) Avalanche.l
We doubt II a majority OF the cantauk-
erous lire.eaters OF 1861 have changed.
They are still spelling for the fight in
which few OF them engaged when fighting
was the business OF the country. But n
large number Of them have since passed
from the busy SCIENCES Of life, and their
places have not been filled. Besides
and this is the vital point-their aud.
fences have changed. The men who faced
the music Of musket.balls from 1861 to
1865 must do the fighting il another war
comes. Appeals to passion fall dead on
their ears. They do not propose to 60 to
war about disputed Presidency. They
know what sleeping in the snow, and
marching or fighting all day under the
cheerful inspiration of "hard.tack" and
"sour.belIy" mean. 1t was easy in 1861
to rouse the war.spirit and fill the ranks
Of the regiments with the flower Of the
Sonth. The man who should attempt to
repeat the experiment in 1877 would be
hOoted out OF every community. Exper.
iencc is practical teacher.

We did not desire 10 see the city elec.
ton take partisan chute this year, and
we do not now think that It ought to take
such chute. 1t is the duty ofall voters
who have the good Of the community at
heart to ignore politics in this election,
and to select the best men they can find
on either side for the various positions 10

The excuse for making party nomlna-

reduce the candidacy Of the numerous
Aspirants witlSn reasonable limits. Half
dozen poor or Indifferent candidates
running for an Office frequently draw of
enough scattering votes from the best can

achoice between evils TO make nomina-

that way the best material Of the two
