DESTROYED BY ICE.

A Heavy Gorge In the Ohio River Above
Cincinnatti Let's Go. Carrying Destruc-
tion Before 1t.
CINCINNATI, Jan. Thirteen years
ago an ice gorge broke up at this port
on the Ohio river with great destruc-
ton to property. Last evening gorge
broke with nobody knows what loss to
boats and coal fleets Heavy ice has
been floating and forming up in the
Ohio river for the past two or three
days No gorge was formed u0tn at
o'clock yesterday morning. The stage
of the water here is fifteen feet. The ice
gorged between the Louisville & Nash
Vile bridge and the Cincinnati South
ern railway bridge. Floating ice came
down and joined the gorge. Below the
river was clear. In this immense raft
were locked all the coal fleets, the nine
packets and several tow boats. At 4:30
o'clock this immense body of ice began
to move in a solid mass The packets
and tow boats escaped with little or no
injury. On the other hand. every coal
fleet suffered. The principal destruc-
ton is to the following: The Pittsburgh
Coal Co., four barges and two floats,
value, $4,000; Collier. Budd & Co., four
barges and several floats, value, $40, 600.
These were on the Ohio side of the
river. just opposite them at Ludlow.
KY, Mr.. Bush lost sixteen barges
valued at $40, 900. Seven miles further
down the river is Addison on the Ohio
side of the river. Here two barges and
three floats have been taken away,
valued at $4,000.
These are all the losses definitely as
certained. Other inevitabl incidental
losses are estimated at 8 0. 600, making
q total of S1OO, 600.
But the danger is not over, and the
situation is still threatening. In the
front of the upper gorge are located
the coal boats and barges which have
not gone down. Behind them is
three miles of ice. There seems
scarcely possibility of saving any of
the property in this prison Of ice. The
river above is open, but ice is floating
heavy.

A GREAT UPRISING.

The Surprising Material and Moral
Strength Of the Loyal States In 1861.
AS the years roll by we get a
proper perspective of the civil war,
and as we have leisure and oppor-
tunity to compare it with other wars
we realize the Importance of one
fact too often overlooked. In our
impotence and criticism in 1861 8
we forget no war of modern times
Lad deem waged hv any nation with
rulers 80 little prepared by exper-
fence. The soldiers OF tie Union
in 1861 were absolutely new to the
art of war, and by an extraordinary
combination of circumstances the
civil rulers were at, the same time
almost devoid of experience in prac-
teal administration.
The Republican party was led by
very new men. whose almost entire
experience had been in political OPP
position. They were indeed ardent
patriots. but so far as experience in
governing went they were in 1861
just like passengers who might sud-
denly be called to take charge of a
ship going to pieces beneath their
feet in n storm which made thrice
seasoned mariners pale.
Suddenly they were called upon
to deal with the most embarrassing
complications in diplomacy, the
most difficult problems in finance,
the most subtle and complex issues
IN constitutional law, and to meet
demands for military purposes
which would have staggered the
most powerful monarchies in Eu-
rope, Russia, Austria, England and
France had in turn owned their in
capacity to suddenly mobilize Il
quarter of million men. The
United States, which had but 49,
900 men IN its regular army in
April, 1861, had before the frosts
of autumn fell nearly 100000 men
armed and equipped and in camp
or on the march.
And with what success? Com
parsons are in this case indeed elo-
quent. Great Britain's administra-
tive system confessedly broke down
in supplying less than 100000 men
in the Crimea. In the winter of
1861 the Washington administra-
ton supplied 600, 200 men, scattered
along hne of $500 miles from the
mouth OF the Potomac to New
Mexico. Before the war II revenue
of $50, 000,000 year alarmed the
nation. In few months Secretary
Chase had to raise 5000, 100000 a
year, and soon had to double that.
In naval warfare the Americans
OF April, 1861. were as children,
vet in eight months they had cstab-
lished Il naval blockade the most
thorough in history. and in eight
more their rams, monitors and
other ironclads he'd rayolutioni2cd
naval warfare.
The energy Of the north was m
decd wonderful, its reserve Of
strength vastly greater than itself
respected. To quote a western by
word. I'VE ached with strength.
No country IN the world WAS ever
stronger for war purposes than
were the adhering states in 1861.
And back of all the material re-
sources were the soul, the moral
vigor, the fierce and high resolve
that the time had come to settle
the great issue once FOR all. Only
twice IN all history has there been
anything at all approaching 1.-THE
uprislngs of Holland against Spain,
and of France in her early revolu-
tionary era. Time, instead of les
sening heightens our appreciation
of that great and truly national
