great Commercial Emporium of the West, is herself again.
About 11 o'clock on Tuesday, (26th) a dispatch was re
ceived here from Alton, etaUng that the Mississippi had
risen tan feet in'the previous hour from the back water of
the Missouri—four mdse below Alton—which was pouring
out a tremendous flood. The steamboatmen here at once
hired metre, made fast- their cables, dyed UP and !Iliad
steam, In anticipation of the event of the final breaking up
of the Ice In the Mlssladppi. At One o'clock ertrods of peo-
pie were seen weeding their way to the laves, where they
anzionsly awaited the mowing of the waters. Fapeciation
run high, surmises and wonders were freely indulged in;
marks were made at the water's edge and closely watched
by the bystanders, who declared they saw the waters rise

and that portion lying opposite the city putesd slowly

that which lay above the city was expected to do the mis

at the mercy of the ice.
The first thing worthy ut note, ma, the hull of a bat

and carried under the Ice; a large cake struck the Alton

which bad just completed her work on the wreck of thu

The boats above mentioned all barbered at the lower--

The lower levee was now Dearly stripped, except here
Mid there a boat could be seen battling with the etiorm2us
fields of ice. About a mile below, however. some ton or
fifteen were harbored, and up to that time had sustained
very little damage.
The lee then commenced jamming In above—the Y. X.
Mabry was forced into the bank, and had her larboard
wheel taken nit The Nebraska slightly damaged :it the
falle time—she also had a wheel carried away. The I k
Alice and Cadger State, were tightly crowd
ed end forced partly upon the shore. The Shenandoah
was next struck and immediately-sunk. The Sam (Ism
was the next to let loose; she fleeting down against the
Clara and there sunk and bezume a total wreck. The Clara
and Ben lying next below were badly j.unnied and
forced partly on shore. A ferry. beet was next semi ono
lug down the current, and who'll opposite the city sunk
and went to piece. The 0. W. Sparhawk was struck Frith
a huge mass of ice and sunk In a few millet... The Keo
kuk wharf boat stood firmly up to the heavy fields of ire,
and guarded three steamers lying next below.
This work of destruction was all consummated lu about
one hour and a half, and the greatest excitement imagina
ble prevailed during the whole of that tithe. - All the boats
hod their officers :sod crews aboard, who nobly and hero
ically stood by their vats as long ue there was n foot-hold
to stand upon. When their twat went to pieces they man
aged to get upon one the next below ; there could not have
been less than one hundred people on board the first fleet
of boats that tore loose, and the greatest tumult prevailed
both among those on shore and es well as those on the
boats. As each boat floated down, the Captain, Pilot and
Engineer were seen at their post, and the crews proved
themselves worthy the position they held, but it was not
within the power of lean to ward off the Immense blocks
of lee that came down la rapid succession. All that man
could possibly do wee done to prevent the destruction of so
great an amount of property; but it wee at the mercy of
the flood, which seen did its work of devastation, and
though a teylous and heavy loss, did it thorough and com
plete.
After the Ice had been running about an hour or so, its
character became changed—being in a more frothy and
crumbled condition, but Interspersed with masses of ,
eight or ten acre blocks—measuring from Id to it inches
in thickness. At half past five o'clock it. commenced gorg
ing below, and finally cams to a dead halt, and remained
stationary for about two boors. During this time large
number, of people glossed and recrossed. The °apartment
was a daring one, and miraeulous es it may seem, none
were drowned.
At the time It commenced gorging, huge - piles were
forced up at every band to the height of twenty and thirty
feet. It was a magnificent eight to see the immense cakes
clic* riding up on these piles and shooting down the op
posite side, and the boats that had drifted down to the is
land below, appeared to be completely buried—the Ice
sometimes piling up so high as to shut them entirely from
Tlew. The river was rapidly rising, and this suspension
was considered unfavorable, as it would soon start again
with increased weight and force. One or two steamers
that were left at the levee, were heavily ladened with
freight for New Orleaas, and their owners, at this stage of
affairs, gave up all hope for the safety of a single boat
then left iu the harbor, and at once commenced disidiarg-
Mg their freight. The terrible work of destruction and ru
in was consumated—the powerful sweep of water and Ice—
the crushing and wrecking of boats—the hurrying to and
fro of excited crowds, was one of the most awful as well as
Imposing scenes we have ever looked upon. About 7 o'-
clock, It commenced raining and became pitchy dark, but
the mass of human bei4s nothing daunted, stood it
through, for It !seemed as though they were determined If
they could not see abaft/laic they certainly would hear it.
At half past seven the gorge broke, and sure enough, took
everything with it. The current was then swifter than
ever
Of the heats that were left in the harbor after the first
rush was over, and before the gorge commenced, were all
carried away—the Regulator, P. N. Aubry, N. L. Milburn,
Alice, Luella, Clara, Ben Bolt, Sparhawk, Polar Star, J. S.
Pringle (loaded for N. Orleans) and Forest Rose, leaving
but trheo boats of the whole foot, the Gossamer, Badger
State, and Nebraska—the policy of the latter boat ran out
a few days since, and another could not be effected—she
was the tbrly bast that was not in whole or part insured,
and sustained the least damage of all others, notwithstand
lag she was considered In the most dangerous place of any
other lying at the levee.
The levee WAS now completely sweepe'J (with the excel,-
thei 01 the three last named boats) and the night was so
dark that nothing could he seen of the fleet that tyre loose,
sad nothing was known of them until the next mon:frig,.

The nomination of Millard Fillmore by the Know-Moth-

frore's best friends, the more Intelligent members of the
old Whig party, laugh at it and say Fillmore has too much
good sense to accept inch a nomination, and particularly
the manner in which It was made. Should Mr. Fillmore
accept, the old lino Whigs—who are opposid to Know-Noth
inglam—will repudiate him and vote the democraticitieket .

created no undue excitement; occasionally however, you

Cold Comfort for the Mnow-Nothings
The North American (the leading Whig
paper of Philadelphia) refuses to endorse Fill
more's nomination. After publishing extracts
from the speeches of several of the leading
Know-Nothings in theiv so-called National
Convention, to show the spirit which actuated
that mutly assemblage, the editor says:—
Now it is from a Convention thus deporting
itself, whose members, men of mature• age,
and -social position, clergymen and lawyers
and nondescript; het each other in maudlin
enthusiasm, and make Speeches about "Sam,"
and "Saint Hildebrand,' and "spavined hor
ses," that this nomination comes; and coming
thus, it has no right to ask the support of
Whigs and fair-minded men of any party.—
Surely we may be permitted to hesitate. As
surely as the painful distrust which on this
subject fills the public mind is justified. •
But the Whigs of Pennsylvania and Phila
delphia have peculiar motives for resolute re
serve just now. No where has the party
which nominated Mr. Fillmore left more de
plorable traces than hereabouts. Neither lo
cality nor in the nation has it been such, we
mean administratively, as to command confi
dence. Less than two years ago it sprang into
gigantic existence, and commanded something
kindred to admiration or fear. With a strong
hand and a grasp so bold that a stout and
honest heart seemed to nerve it, it took pos
session in one place or another of power and
patronage. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
and New York all yielded. But the instant
it conquered power it showed itself unfit or
unable to administer it. This was manifest
to every eye, and there were many, ourselves
among the number, .who looked at this result
with disappointment. The two repulsive ele
ments of secresy and sectarian proscription,
alien to the heart and intelligence of the
American people, only worked out their gen
uine fruits when the secret and sectarian
party got into place. A general sentiment of
distrust pervaded every one's mind, and the
end was what we have said. Now, is it to be
wondered•at that with these facts still recent
—for two years is the limit—conservative
men should regard with suspicion a nomina
tion made about which they have not only
nut been consulted, but from which they have
beep repelled?
To such conservative men who have not yet
spoken, we say, in all earnestness, reserve
your judgment. This nomination has no an
tecedents to command acquiescence train
Whigs or those who act with Whig
- s. Least
of all, has it any claims on Pennsylvanians.
We have not forgotten the scenes of last win
ter's legislation, and its impotent intrigues,
and remember well that the party-whose Con
vention now nominates Mr. Fillmore was in
power and responsible then. Philadelphians,
too, may well pause before they follow this
New York city lead, finding, as they do, among
Mr. Fillmore's prominentthanksgivers in this
Convention, those who have signalized them.
selves by bitter opposition to our local inter
ests. The time will soon come when those
who have heretofore professed Whig princi
p es, and who have, as yet, formed no other
connexion, ought to determine on their course
and manfully proclaim it.

Massachusetts met on Wednesday last, and

LATEST FROM EUROPE.-By the arrival of
the steamship Africa, at New York on Satur
day, we have three days' later intelligence
from Europe. She brings no tidings of the
Pacific. The Pease Conferrences were to open
on the 25th ult: All the plenipotentiaries
had arrived in Paris. Quite a sensation had
been created in Paris by the publication in
the Moniteur of an article that appeared in
the Siecle, which indicated that the policy of
France and England would be identical in
the Congress. The Royhschilds had taken
the whole of the new loan at 90. There is
nothing of interest from the Crimea.
plan Human Halr.—To minister to a penchant
1 for "auburn waves" and "raven tresses," the brains of
inventors have heretofore been called in requisition to lit
tle purpose; for although many oils, balms, dyes, and
"specifics" have been the result of the Incubation, they
have not only provedlo be valueless, but many of them
positively Injurious to the hair and scalp—being the inci
pient of scald-head and various other painful and danger
ous cutaneous disorders.
Upon Prof. 0..7. Wood, of St. Louis, fortune has confer
red the honor of having discovered a balsamic preparation,
which not only promotes the growth and beautifies the
Hair In a high degree, but restores it when it is gone, or
turns it hack to its original color after it has become gray,
fastens It to the scalp, and effectually destroys such cuta
neous eruptions as may have been engendered by the use
of dyes, essential oils, and other injurious applications.—
The many respectable testimonials which are offered In its
favor, from every part of the country in which it has been
introduced, leaves no loop for the sceptic to hang a doubt
on. The great demand for this article in the eastern States,
has induced the proprietors to establish a depot for Its
manufacture and sale In the city of Now York. It is fast
supplanting all other specifics for the hair, and already
enjoys a popularity which no other has ever attain
ed. Buy it—test it—and you will rejoice that your atten
tion has been directed to it.

"VARA!. LANDS FOR SALE.—THS TriolB
j: CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY is now proposal to
sell over TWO 3iILLION of ACRES OF FARMING LANDS,
in Tracts of .10 AGE MS and upwards, on long cradles
and at low mum of interest
. .
These lands were granted by the Government, to aid In
the construction of this Railroad, and include some of the
ricnest and moat fertile Prairies in the State, interspersed
here and there with magnificent groves of oak and other
timber. The Bead extends from Chicago., on the North
East, to Cairo at the South, and f, oat thence to Galena and
Dunleith, in the North West extreme of the State, and as
all the lands lie within fifteen miles on each side of thin
Road, ready and cheap means are afforded by it for trans
porting the products of the lands to any of Bose paintsand
from thence to rastern and Southern markets. Moreover,
the rapid growth of flourishing towns and villages along
the line, and the great Increase. In population by immigra
tion, etc., afford a substantial and growing home demand
for farm produce.
The soil is a dark, rich mould, from one to five feet In
depth, is gently rolling and peculiarly fitted for voting
cattle and sheep, or the cultivation of wheat, Indian
corn etc.
Beanomy in cultivating and great productiveness are the
well known characteristics of I dlisols land. Trees are not
required to be cut down, stumps grubbed, or atones picked
off, as is generally the case in coldest:Log new; load In the
older States. The first crop of Indian corn, planted on the
newly broken sod, usually repays the cost of plowing and
fencing.
Wheat sown on the new turned soli is sure to yield very
Lino profits. A man with a plow and two yoke of oxen
will break one and a half to two acres per day. Contracts
can be made for breaking, ready for corn or wheat, et from
$2 to 2,50 per acre. By Judicious management, the land
may be plowed and fenced the first, and tinder a high state
of cultivation the second y-ar.
Corn, grain, male, etc., will be forwarded at reasonable.
rates to Chicago, for the Eastern market, and to Cairo for
the Southern. The larger yield on the cheap lands of Illi
nois over the high priced lands In the Eastern , end Middle
States, is known to be mach more than sufficient to pay
the difference of transportation to the Eastern market.
Bituminous coal IS mined at several points along the
Road, and is a cheap and desirable fuel. It can be delivered
at several points along the Road at $l,lO to 4 ; 90 per ton.
, Wood can be had at the same rates per cord.
Those who think of settling In lowa or Minnesota, should
bear In mind, that lands there, of any value, along the wa
ter courses and for many miles inland, have been disposed
of,—that for those located in the interior, there are no con
veniences for transporting the produce to market, Railroads
not having been Introduced there. That to send the pro
duce of these lands, one or two hundred milts by wagon to
market, would coat much more than the expense of culti
vating them; and hence, Government lands thus attested, at
$1,25 per acre, are not so good investments 89 the land of
this company at the prices fixed.
The same remarks hold good in relation to the lauds in
Kansas and Nebraska, for although vacant lands may be
found nearer the water courses, the distance to market is
far greater, and every hundred miles the produce of those
lands are carried either in wagons, or interrupted water
communications, increases the expenses of transportation,
which must be borne by the settlers, in the reduced price of
their products; and to that extent precisely are the lucomes
from their farms, and of course on their investments, an
nually and every year reduced.
The great fertility of the lands now offered for sale by this
company, and their consequent yield over those of the Eas
tern and Middle States, Is much more then sufficient to pay
the difference in the cost of transportation, especially in
view of the facilities furnished by the Ro d, and others
with which it connects, the operations of which are not in
terrupted by the low water of summer, or the frost of win.

PRICE AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.—The price will va
ry from $5 to 25, according to location, eta. Contracts for
Leeds may be made during the year, 1856, stipulating the
purchase mosey to be paid in five annual instalments. The
first to become clue in two years from the date of contract,
and the others annually thereafter. The last payment will
become due at the end of the sixth year from the date of the
contract.
Interest will be charged at only three per cont. per an
num. As a security to the performance of the contract,
the first two years' interest must be paid in advance, and it
moat bo understood that at least one tenth of the land pur
chased shall yearly be brought under cultivation. Twenty
per cent. from the credit price will be deducted for cash.—
The Company's construction bonds will be received as cash.
Ready trained Farm Buildings, which can be set up in a
few days, can be obtained front responsible parsons.
They will be 12 feet by 10 feet, divided into one living and
three bed rooms. and will coat complete set up on ground
chosen anywhere along the Road, $l5O in cash, exclusive of
transportation. , Largar buildings may be contracted for at
proportioqate rates. The Company will leeward all the ma
terials for such buildings over their road proulpily .
Special arrangements with dealers can be made to supply
those purchasing the Company's lands with fencing mate
rials, agricultural tools, and an outfit of ?incisions in any
quantity, at the. lowest wholesale pricee.
It is believed that the price, long credit, and low rate of
interest, charg,sl tor these lands, will enable a 'man with a
few hundred dollars in cash and ordinary industry, to make
himself Independent before all the purchase money becomes
due. In the mean time, the rapid settlement of the coun
try will probably have increased their value four or five fold.
When required an experieenced person will accompany ap
plicante, to give information and aid in selecting lands.
Circulars, containing numerous instances of successful
farming, signed by respectable and well known thrmers liv.
