Cikcinxati, Jan. 17. It require a
etretch of the imagination to picture
3,G0O,00O torn of ice moving at five
mile an hour down tbe Ohio river.
Tb ire in formiug a gorge in the river
doe not lie flac. Gorges are formed of
op-ended fragment of ice inclining for
ward and downward in the direction of
the current. In thi war a forge may
be loor to vis feet thick. It upper
aorfaee w era pgr and jagged.
Vater
Th,
rising in the interdice
thus become, more or lee solid, i
Tbe current of the rising stream, ee- j
pecially at the present stage of the
river, twenty feet and rising, is aeon-
etant force tending to tear the gorge !
loose. Floating ice accnmnlating at the
upper end affords another power to tar
the gorge from tha banks.
At two o'clock yesterday afternoon
this mighty glacier of 3 ,000.000 tons be
gan to move with a horrible groan and
the hills echoed with the terrific scream-
Ing of a score of steam whistle. Slowly, j
as if with great difficulty, the mighty
mass began to move, at first fracturing
its icy body with detonations like the
sound of musketry. Crunching and
grinding the shores, crashing sgainst
the great stone piers of the five monster
bridges, on it went with a force no mor
tal power could resist and increasing its
peed every minute. Nineteen steamers
and a hnndred coal barges, empty or
loaded, had but two or three inches of
oak plank to prevent resistance to this
ponderous aggregation of power. Every
man was at his post on the steamers,
and every man was a hero. Again and
again the ponderous chains that held
tbe steamers and wbarfboats to their
moorings were parted and as often skill
ful hands repaired tbem. Tbe two
bridge above the public landing broke
tbe ice somewhat and prevented the
otherwise inevitable destruction of every
packet.
By 9 o'clock all apparent danger to
the steamers at the landing was over.
Tbe gorge bad pa sed and the river was
comparatively clear. One tow boat, the
Hattheson, valued at $10,000, was sank
and destroyed. Down below the des
truction of coal bargee and other prop
erty, from account at this hour, has
been terrible. Tbe harbor towbuat
'Comet, Ben wood and Alice Barr were
t going down with tlie gorge, fully manned
and working heroically to break the ice
and save property. Tbe gorge that
moved past Cincinnati extended from
Coouey Island, above tbe mouth of tbe
Litte Miami, to below Anderson' ferry,
a distance of nearly eighteen miles, for
two miles below this tbe water was clear
- and open. Then came another gorge,
'.-beginning at the mouth of the Great
daiuii and extending below Lawrence
burg. This lower gorge was about five
mile long. Tbe npper gorge with it
doomed coal Beets crabbed into it and
tore it out. and now both are grinding
their way with a terrific roaring far
down the Ohio at five or six mile) an
hour. Here is the nearest approach to
an approximation of the destruction of
coal fleets: Forty-five loaded barges,
worth H.OUO each. $130,000; sixty empty
barges, worth f2,00t each. $135,000.
total $310,000. Not one rent of ia
nranee is held on any of this property.

W. G. Steel, president of Uie Alphine
club, ha been in Washington city for
several nki, assisting Congreeaman
Hermann in examination of plats of the
recent reserve' ion in Oregon. Br
closely studying tle telegram from
Washington it will be ascertained that
the reservation of Monnt Hood and the
Crater take surroundings is permanent,
while tbe remainder of the reserved
tract of 7,020 square miles ran be re
stored to tbe public dooiain at any time
J the president may deem it wise to mod
ify or levoke bis proclamation. The
Alpine club devoted a great deal of dis
cussion to tbe proposed reservation be
fore an active effort was made t secure
it. Finally they framed a formal peti-
' tion to the president asking that the en
tire Cascade range be withdrawn, or, in
in the event of that being impossible,
that a tract embracing Mount Hood and i
Crater lake and vicinity be reserved.
Accurate maps of tbe entire tract were
prepared, and at a meeting of the club
last April, the petition wss formally
adopted and signed by the preeideut and
secretary. Then it received tbe signa
ture of prominent ciiiaens and state of
ficials, and in June it was forwarded to
Washington by special rueasc-iiger. The
petition urged that the tract should be
withdrawn, because of tbe valuable tim
ber within it, of its being the watershed
of the rivers flowing to the Pacific, of its
adaptability to a national park and of
the game and fish with which it abounds,
ad wb,rh """a "thleely slaugu-
tcrd b? o-calIed sportsmen,
In the circulation and presentation of
this petition tbe club avoided as much
aa possible unnecessary publicity, and
to that eud even refrained from holding
its regular meetings. The aecrecv is
believed to be somewhat responsible for j
the satisfactory outcome of the project,
as it prevented anything like organised
opposition. At Washington tbe petition
was pushed by H. ti. Bavery, since de-
ceased, and J. II. Morrison. They
found valuable allies in tbe Oregon rep
resentative and senators in eougreea.
The matter was earnestly and eloquently
laid before the proper officials, and Sec
retary Noble was persuaded to give it
lii personal attention. Bv bins it was
referred to tbe commissioner of the
general land office, and thence it went
to tbe president with favorable recom
mendation. The lines of the reserva
tion as proclaimed by tlie president
embrace some of the grandest scenery
on this continent, and the Oregon Na
tional park will oon become a formida
ble rival to the Yellowstone a a Mecca
for tourist. The traveler in quest of
natural wonders can take a pair of
horses at The Dalles and revel in bliss a
couple of hours later, aa described by
our correspondent last week.

Habbihbcbg, r., Jan. 17. The Dis
patch pnblished tbe document today,
found among paper belonging to the
late Gen. J. Imn Gregg. It is a report
of the then Col. Gregg to Gen. MeClel-
lan, when the latter commanded the
army of the Potomac. Col. Gregg wa
detailed aa commander of the McCtellan
ontpoeta, and while occupying that posi
tion discovered that Gen. Johnston, of
the rebel army, wa moving on McClel-
lan's flank. He reported Lb movement j
to MeClellan at once, bat the latter)
could not he convinced of tbe accuracy j
of Gregg' report, and did not take the
necessary precaution. Three day after ! the following from the La Grande land
Gregg submitted his report, MrClellan j office, which, as our reader will per
found oat to hi sorrow that this nb-1 ceive, i a copy of very important cor-
ordinate officer wa correct.
Johnston suddenly attacked the Union
force on their flank, and McClailan was
compelled to retreat. Tbe celebrated
even day' fighting on tbe Peninsula
ensued, the southerners pursuing our
army to the James river, where the
hard-fought battle of Malvern bill fol
lowed. McClellan wa relieved, and
Pope, who wa placed in command, met
Johnston at Boll Bun and wa fearfully
routed. It is contended that had Gen
eral McClel'an taken the advice of Gregg,
when the latter firtt reported Johnston's
contemplated move on tbe flank of the
Union force, Richmond would have
been taken and tbe backbone of the re
bellion broken.

Settlers on forfeited railway lands, in
this division of Oregon, and more par
ticolarly farmers and producers of the
Inland Empire for eighteen year, have
been held down by red tape, an article
which has never been authoritatively
defined. As we have been compelled to
regard it red tape meant "bow not to
open tbe river," and bow the settler is
easily set down upon. It is tbe letter
thatkilleth. It is Pharisaism in office.
It is the tithing of business mint and
cumin. It is home to rules, and idola-
try of pet methods. It is small criti
cism and large neglect of weighty mat
ters. It is gagging at trifles and swal
lowing a loaded camel train. It is
official superciliousness insisting on
routine against just rights and reasons
abie claims. It is failure against the
1 1
patient and skillful running of the
impostor, but a bar to the poor man
with a good cause. It keeps thousands
of honest government creditors out of
their duee, but is weak against jobs,
frauds, and log-rolling. It is locutiou,
cireum-locntion, inter-locution, words,

"We received not $15,000,000 but $-"0,-000,000

we did the work w contracted to do for
it, and did it well. Our relatione with
the Panama canal company are a open
as the day. W have nothing to conceal.
All such talk is absurd. I never heard
of any suit being brought against the
company or any member of theenmitany,
such as that spoken of la th dispatch. It
is strange that it could take place without
my knowledge. "There are no revela
tion which can be made concerning our
connection with the canal company."
continued the representative. "We
imply had a contract to do so much
work for so much money. Wa did It j
and gut our money. We made monev
on the contract because we were able,
with our approved appliances, to do tbe
work cheaper In fart than we thought
we could ourselves. There Is no sen

ment, no bribery, no corruption ; just
hard work well done and paid for accord
