I I tv.nt7:'.; Vi taa Mill' .1 ti. fl 1 21; aw THE FLOOD IN THE WEST, The funny man of the Cincinnati (O. Times, took a trip up the river a day or two ago to see what damage the flood had roogbt, and the following is his account: High Times ok the OnioCiNcraNATl to Louisville The Hiver Towns is a Bad Wat How vVatkb Affects them Howtiiet landPasskngmibat Loch port Remarkable Revulsion amono Temperance Societies Theik Pre sent Motx No Hour ateb 1' Affairs at Louisville, etc. Steamer United States, ES, i'wi March 11. 1867.

Dear Times I never was mueU on ter, but I have been on a good deal of It during my trip from CincitinnH to Louis ville. I You desire me to civo you some account Of the general aspect of the river during tile present high water, as observed on my trip. It is a little difficult to write on a steamboat, owing to the shaking of tbe boat, but I Will' do it as well as I can under the circumstaflr Cd8. The United States Is a pretty stcadv going crart for a steamboat, but will shako aome: I told Caut. Whitteh I wanted tb write a letter, and would like to have Mm ran hit boat as steadily' as he could until 2 had finished It; and with that spirit of accommodation which ul ways characterizes he la Using his most strenuous efforts to do sc.

i The captain is a large, strong man, aa you know; but with tbe utmost effort of bis strength, using both hands to it, he Can't keep the boat steady entirely. 1 To begin with Cincinnati; when I went down to the landing, I found that the landing had Blld down into the river several leet. This is quite an accommodation to passengers, as the descent to the wharfs boat whs always too lar and too steep. The washes the foot of Vine street, and it would be a capital thing if it would wash the feet of several other streets in tbe city. Another phenomenon I observed.

The towers of the suspension bridge have sunk alarmingly. The bridge isn't more than half aa far above tbe water as it was when it waa built. Several people weary of Hit, who had come a long distance for the purpose ol jumping off the bridge, because of its poried height, have gone home dis gusted. They say they might as well stay borne and patronize their own bridges, The businesa of the ferry boats, which fell off wbeu the bridge waa first completed, is picking up aguin. They give people a longer ride than they did for the same The hacks complain, though.

They say if tbe town keeps slipping into the river tbe way it has been doing, their busiuess will be ruined. People will be enabled td step right out of the hotel doors into the boat.1 i Lawrenceburo The people don't come down to see tbe boat aa tbey used to. The boat goes up to see tbe people. The people1 have hard work to keep the boat from ruuJ iiing into their Iront parlors, sitting down at their Haifa mile buck of where the landing used to be they have tenders suspended to their ch.mneys to keep Uie bouts off. Aurora.

Passengers landed on the roof of the Good saleable land in this town. You can take a skiff and a all over it. Risiko Sun. We hailed a rmay ton of Ihe town Any water lots for sale "No, but lots of water." Patriot. Real estate near tho river has gone under much that is on high ground appears to be Coming down.

Ladle make their afternoon calls on rufta whole raftt of them They wear watered siiks, for the most part. Lots of offices un der water. Not offices enough for half the patriots in town. Warsaw. The landing is at a part of the town so high up that tbey never saw a steamboat before.

They want to know what business tho United Statet has got tft Warsaw. N. B. They seem to labor under the de lusion that Warsaw la out of the jurisdiction of tbe Unite Statet. Madison.

Great demand for water. Some ol the citizens are completely out of it but not many. The most of them are completely in it. Rubber overshoes are worn, reaching as high aa the neck. Half of tbe citizens are under arrest for public bathing in the day time.
