THE MONONGAHELA FALLING.
Damage from the Present Flood Might
Have Been Worse.

nave Been worse.
PITTsBURG, Feb. S.-The flood in the
MOnOngahela river reached the highest
point, twenty-eight feet, at o'clock this
morning, and soon after began to recede.
Owing to the cold weather, which shut
off the small streams, the water did not
get as high as was anticipated by several
feet. The damage here is almost wholly
from inundation, but the loss from that is
considerable. All the mills along
both rivers are submerged, and
operations are suspended. Many
stores in the lower portions of the two
cities are under water, and hundreds of
families on the south side and in Allie
gheny have been compelled to leave their
homes until the flood subsidies. Dis
patches from towns along the MOnOnga-
hela report great damage from the inun-
datiOn. The water at all points is sub
siding, and no more damage is appre-
hended

Gazing River Banks.

Parties were up the river yesterday in
the interest OF the Wolf river sawmills
and the Little Rock railroad, to examine
thecrumbling banks below, Island40, which
threaten ere long to cave of and let the
river dow, by way Of the Loosahatchie,
down along the immediate front of the
upper portion of the city. At a point, ten
miles by the river, above the landing here
and seven and half miles by way of the
Loosahatchie, they found that the river
has cut against the crumbling bank SO
that but $50 feet of space remains between
the main river and Cypress Bayou, which
is an affiuent Of the Hatchie. Of this 100
feet there Is now twenty feet of water over
about two-thirds of it, and three or four
feet over the remainder. When it cuts
through, ifitever does, there will be fall or
sudden incline Of from three to four feet
between the river and the Hatchie, and
this fall will be apt to give an impetus to
the How OF water which will make the
current one Of great velocity. Over part
Of this space between the main river and
the Hatchie the upper surface of the land
has been washed off 10 the depth of sew
eral feet, and it discloses the supposed fact
bhab I'll bIu Aciu, OiiEo III llllhDIe cOnQl-
ton, occupied the spot. This inference
was drawn by the inspectors from the
numerous cypress and other stumps to be
found in the vicinity, which have been
uncovered by the washing out process. The
inspectors further say that after ten or
twelve feet of alluvium is scraped off by
the flow between the river and the
Hatchie, the current will strike a deep
layer of sand, after which it will have an
easy thing to deepen the cut. The pre-
vailing opinion is that if thu main river
strikes through the Hatchie route, il will
result In saying tho present incline of the
Little Rock railway on the Hopeheld
side, but it will sweep off the one near the
mouth of Wolf on this side, while it will
also prove destructive to sawmill and
other property in the same neighborhood.

or not it will cut through the course mem
