Letter from a New Haven Citizen-The e
 Devastation and Gloom tn Cincinnati.
 Lieutenant Charles E. Grannis, of this city, in letter from Dayton, Ohio Feb. Il, says: 'sI mail you Cincinnati Enquirer which has a cut giving view of the large number of business streets that are submerged by the floods. left Cincinnati last night, having spent two weeks in that drowned city. It looked as if in state of siege. The most populous part of the city is being pstrolled at night by the military, in full service uni form with fixed bayonets. Saturday the First regiment, N. G. O., and battery were doing guard duty. Last night the gas was shut of and the absolute gloom that reigned can hardly be realized. Here and there an electric light flashed forth it's rays, but it only served to mako the sur rounding darkness the more impenetrabIe. No one can estimate the immense amount of financial damage and physical and mental suffering caused by such 8 calamity. The greater part of the wholesale business of Cincinnati is in the submerged district and business of that kind is wholly suspended The travelling fraternity are giving the city g wide berth, for it is useless to talk business there now
