gorged at Hen and Chickens just above
tho city, and at 2 o'clock tho gori;o broko
and thu ico canto down with terrible force,
carrying off tho dry docks, then cutting
down ten barges of coal belonging to
Brown Si Jones, then steamer after
steamer lying at tho wharf till It was
thought not u singloonc, of it largo num
ber lying there, could bo saved. Tho fol
lowing is a list of boats lost : Laura, Hello
of I'ikc, P.. P. Walt, Undine, West Wind,
and City of Augusta. Tho towbout
Nelllo Thomas is lying in n critical con
dition, and it is doubtful whether iho can
be saved, as the Ico is running very heavy,
LATKIt.
Tho Walt is broken in two, tho Hello
of Piko sunk to alovo her gnurds, but
supported by barges, and tho Laura is
badly broken. Tho crews of thcio
bouts aro wrecking them us ipcdily as
possible, to savo what they can before
another chango in tho ico occurs. The
Wi-Jt Wind has her upper works com
plutcty wrecked, but thu hull i not much
njured. Thu Andy lliiim hits her up
per works luUly uumugeu, Iho Arling

somo distance, wcro secured,
and will probably be saved, though
they and tho tteumcr Pat Cluburno aro in
a critical condition; iiho the Niilliu
Tliomus, whnsu upper works nru crushed.
Thu Nashville is in great peril her upper
works being gonu and onu shaft broken.
The Lhutii and Itollu ol 1 iko will provo
a total loss. Thu Undine, Helen Brook
and Surnmor Coon wero sunk out of

tho head of President's inland, und will
provo a total Ios. Rrown and Jones
loie$ 130,000 wortli of coal, leaving 3 day's
supply in tho hands of tho dealer in
Memphis. Tho gas works, which supply
tho city, being without a d ty'j supply, tho
coal dealers tuvu advanced thu price to
two dollars per barrel, which wilt cause
great sulfuring among tho poor. Taylor
Wells, pilot of thu Andy li-ium, and John
Clinton second clerk, and tho bar-tender,
jumped trom thu hurricano deck to thu
wharf-boat, as tho steamer was forcod
down, und wero badlv Injured. Wlls full

AT KISS, TO-NIOUT
The river is falling, which is considered an
Indication that tho river is gorged again
at Randolph. Steamboat-men nro on th

of Augusta, has got a lino to tho shoro
Foot of Jefferson sfreot, but is unublo to

cabin furniluro has all bcon removed
and hor cabin is being saved. Tho Hull
of Piko is a total loss, und valued at
$20,000, and is Insured in St. Louis com

In the meantime tho pollen hoadquartors

belief that the board of police
commissioners and department of public

This appeal it is expected will be success
