Flood In the Allegheny The highest water of Saturday morning, on the Monongahela side of the city, was a few inches short of the great flood of April, rt7cli 'but on the Allegheny side it was about ten or twelve inches higher. In '52 the surges Just reached the front of the ?ern' Douse; but on Saturday morning the water was nearly a foot deep at the front of that building. The ?eosin of this difference was; that, while the Allegheny was extremely high, there wan no unusual flood in the Morongaltela. :In the great floods of lb:;_ and '52 both rivers were correspondingly high; this flood the Alegheny only was very high. lied both rivers been equally high, as they were In thbse years, this would have been the greatest flood onrecord. At Sharpsburg., only four miles above this city, we are Informed that the water was higher than In the great flood of 1832. At Freeport It Is said that the water was higher than - it was ever known. The aqueduct across the Allegheny, a mile or so above that town, stood :he flood of 1832; but It was swept off—all but two spans—on Friday night. Tho aqueduct over Buffalo creek, at the lower end of that town, stood the flood of 1832 and all oth ers; but It too was carried atray co Friday night —not by the water of the creek, hat of the river. At Kittanning, we are Informed, the water just reached the Reynolds House—the highest ground between the river and what II called the second bank, and four to five. feet nigher than McKean street, which is the third parallel street - from the river. Thu flood of 1832 did not mine np so high as that: Mr..Reynolds 4 , the father of the present, proprietor of the -R , vnolds Howse, who kept a hotel on the same epo as long ago as 1804 or 5, in 'describing the great flood of 1800, which was caused entirely. by the melting -of snow under a warm sun and which was a little higher at Kittanning th an the flood of '33, said that there was about an acre of dry ground around his house; all the rest of the town plot below the bill being under water. The great Ice flood of 1830, canard solely by a tremendous gorge, and which only lasted about two hours,was higher than any other. at that town, the water being about a foot deep at the Reynolds House. When the gorge passed, the water fell far below the tops of the banks. The channel of the river Is about one hundred feet wider at Kittanning now than It was In 1806; and If the water of this florid reached the Reynolds House, It was the highest on record. Of the destruction of property acoll City and other places ; and of the vast quantity of sawed lumber and thither which were swept away we have already spoken. The loss of property Was unquestionably much greater than in any pro dons flood. It seems that.the farthest tributaries were the most swollen, because on them there was the most snow, which the warm weather of last week melted very rapidly. That warm weatherwas followed by a heavy rain, which greedy tigmented the flood, and affected all the tributaries, more or leas. The Gent:lessee. (the higher tributaries of which at , crlock with those of the Allegheny.) was high er than it was ever known to,be, and did im mense damage. The Susquehanna which drains a large tract of the same region, was swollen to a height rarely if ever equalled. It was well for these cities that the Moncmga beta did not rise correspondingly. for if it had, the flood of Saturday morning'w oold have Sven L the greatest and moat destructive we- hare ever ad. Houses to Live la. The high rates of rent and the scarcity o• dwelling houses In the city, should Induce all property holders who can do so to build; and the owners of lota which they cannot improve, will consult their own hstereld, as well as those of the city, by selling to those who can. The pos rattily of netting good houses to live In at a fair rate of rent, Is one of . the greatest induce ments which- Tan be oilered laboring men to come to the city. It Is evident to every one that hundreds of families have been deterred from coming here this winter, by thenutty of get.

The At rajunual Report of the Sarre tory of War. The annual report of Secretary Stanton, dated Mareb let, has just appeared. Mr. Stanton says that "the military events of the year have been officially published by the Departmeet front time to time as they, occurred, and are folly known in every, branch of this government and . throughout the civilized world. They consti tute a scrim of successful marches, klegt3 and battle., attesting the endurance and courage of the United States, and the gallantry and milita ry skill of their commanders, unrivaled in the history of nations." The report presents a brief sketel of the anllitarY es. abilshment, omitting the exact ttreneth of the foras now under dross. The following are the principal facts set forth : Twenty-one depots are established in the prin cipal States for collecting and forwarding to regiments, volunteers, substitutes and dratted men. The Veteran Reserve corps have been of mach service in guarding the depots, and es corting detachments to their regiments. There ere also six special depota,for 'recruits enlisted els. rebel States, by agents from loyal States. ir Boards of examination have been kept np to inmate Into calcite= of absence from duty and alleged offences by officers. The effect has been to diminish the number of eases published and referred to the boards to three hundred and sixty-four for eleven months; whereas, before their organization, from one hundred to two hundred were reported monthly far absence with out leave, alone. The status of chaplains seems to be misunder stood. From the wording of the act of April 9, leG4, section 1. it is thought by some chaplains that a new rata ortween the grades of major and captain Is intended for them. This Is sup posed to be an error growing out of the use of the set an "surgeon" in the act, instead of "med ical officer." The former assimilated rank of chaplains, In reference to allowance of quarters and pay proper, was "captain," and such should now be their rank. Oyer two hundred flags captured from the rebel, have been received, priperly labelled, and deposited fur safekeeping. Medals of honor hare been awarded In numer ous instances to privates and non-commissioned officers for gallant services. The rian of award ing gold and silver medals to maws instead of brevets to a certain extent, Is commended to no- tice. It should not supersede the conferring of brevet, especially where such rank might be ex ercised In high commands. The supplies produced dining the past fiscal year include 1,050 pieces of ordnance, 2,301 ar tillery carriages and caissons, 802,625 small arms, 794,055 sets of accoutrements and harness, 1,674,- 244 projectiles for cannon, 13,740,146 pounds of bulleta and lead, 8.409,400 pelvis of gunpowder, 169,4900'29 cartridges for small arms. Those are complete articles, in addition to the large quantities of the same kirid of supplies partially mode up at the arsenals. The ordnance supplies furnished to the milita ry service during the fiscal year include 1,141 'pieces of ordnance, 1,806 artillery carriages and ealssona, 459,910 small arms, 402,044 sets of ae tntrements and' harness, 1,914,753 projectiles 'for cannon, 7,624,685 pounds of bullets and lead, 164,540 rounds-of artillery "ammunition, 152,067 sets of horse equipments, 1 19.087,503 cartridges for small arms, 7,643,044 pounds of gunpowder.
