A I retary oi tne common weauu, mm extracted from him his opinion that, under the rule adopted by the Na tional Committee, the holding f separate popular delegate eonven tions for the election of delegates to the National Convention, was im practicable, and that delegates could not be chosen by sub-divisions of the State Convention, until after that Convention had first assembled and on. h, . .

Bishop and Collins, who went with the steamer, say that the hills on the opposite side of the river now form its banks. The people asked first for news, next for ropes with which to anchor their houses, and lastly for cooked pro visions. None want clothing. The houses are everywhere swept, away or floating on their corners. Rural and Augusta, Ky., are wrecks. The water is running be hind Augusta, making an island of it. Dover, Kentucky, is in twelve feet of water in in the shallowest part. New Palestine, Ohio, is nearly ru ined, and New Richmond is still worse off. In Point Pleasant, General Grant's birthplace, only two houses are out of the water. Moscow is in a bad condition, many houses having entirely disap peared. Neville is a wreck, and Shiloh is worse than Neville. Half of Iligginsport is in the wa ter. Ieyanna is badly submerged. Ripley is in a terrible condition. One side of a brick house at Ripley fell in yesterday, and others are weakening. The people say the farmers from the country are helping them wher ever the roads and the floods permit access.

Arthur, and that this daring feat was instigated by that political de mon, Senator Cameron. While this blood-curdling story was being told and re told, by the tock-a-whoop rural editors, with dramatic effect, one M. P. Handy, managing editor of the Pre, an unanointed, bloody Democrat, telegraphed his paper from. Washington that Cameron had ordered Colonel Sam Parr, M. C, from Harrisburg, to hasten to Phil adelphia and have the boys turn in for Logan for president. Here was a new and equally startling scheme of the bosses unearthed, which, not withstanding its source, was seized upon by the gullible portion of the press, and Ran was denounced, and attempts made to trace hiiis to 1 nil adelphia, and finally he was discov ered, where he had been all the time, in his seat in the House, and to interrogatories he replied that, personally he favored Logan, and that he had received but one letter from Cameron since he went abroad, and that related solely to his health and his travels. Here, to the eye of the smart and knowing politician; were attempts to boom Arthur and IiOgan, and so, such of them as favor Rlaine, determined to discount their effect, by booming him.

Fortunately S1,HK) was received there this morn ing from Secretary Lincoln and another Sl.fC W from the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce. It is impossible to give details of the losses to the city by the wrecked and floating houses. The wind last night added to the number wrecked in the eastern part of the city, where the greatest loss has been felt, there being more frame houses in that section. Fortunately, so far no case of loss of life has been known, though in several cases the families have been taken from their homes just before the water bore them away. A9 a rule the people cling to their houses until there is immedi ate and absolute danger. Lot isviLi.E, February 14. It turned cold early last ninht, and the clouds disappeared, lo-day has been bright and beautiful. strong wind last night caused the waves to do much damage in the submerged district. A great many houses have fallen down or floated off. It is not uncommon to see a large frame structure floating down ever the falls. The people are all out. however, and no injury or loss of life is reported. The vater is still rising, though the ground is hard frozen. Louisville will not call for any outride help. The suffering is great at Jefferson ville. The people are crowded to gether in the churches and school houses almost to suffocation. The relief measures in opperation are very inadequate. The waves did much damage to property last night. Two feet more of water will flood the penitentiary, and there are G'X) con victs to be cared for. The 125 families of lime burners at Utica, twelve miles above here, are still huddled together in one church, and are sadly in need of relief. 1 he town 01 uarKsvuic, ind., is almost washed away. Inch by inch the water has risen at Jeffersonville, Indiana, until nearly every street has disappeared. If the water continues to rise at the present rate by noon Friday there will not be a dry spot in the town. The sights are most appalling and distressing. Many houses have cav ed in. Hundreds of persons are huddled together in the same build ing. Gkeexit, February 14. The town is completely submerged, and there is great suffering among the poor. Provisions are especially needed. I'p river dispatches received last night state the river is falling in the region of Gallipolis and is stationary that the rebels have captured Sinkat The Cabinet was at once summoned to a council for the pjrpose of dis cussing the Egyptian question. The news ut the fall of Sinkat reached tiuakim this morning. It was brought by a iriendly Arab chief. The garrison made a sortie and was for a long time successful in repuls ing the rebel attacks, but at last the attacking forces gained the upper hand and the garrison was complete ly destroyed, except a few, who were made prisoners. The fate of the wo men and children is unknown. The streets of Suakim present a heart rending appearance. They are thronged with women, whose weep ing and wailing give unmistakable evidence of their distress and fore bodings. A correspondent at Suakim tele graphs as follows : At last the heroic garrison of Sin kat haye been butchered. For a fortnight they had been eating roots and tree leaves. It was an enfee bled band, indeed, wliich sortied to die amidst the rebel hordes. Tewlik Bay had harrangued his men, say ing that by fighting the' might save themselves, but that by remaining they must die from nunger in a few days. Flight was, impossible. The men, thus auimatftl with Tewfik Rey's spirit, destroyed the military stores, exploded the magazine, filled their pouches to their utmost with cartridges and issued forth, COO strong, against the rebels. Osmau iJigmun'ie hordes rushed to the at tack. Tewfik Iiey and his men fought liobly. For a long time they repulsed ever' attempt to break their ranks. Finally superior numbers prevail ed and with a trme.ndoias rush the rebels rushed through one of the sides of the Egyptian square. A gen eral massacre ensued and not a soul escaped. According the latest re ports only four sick men, who were unable to take part in the sortie, the Cadi of Sinkat and ."0 women were spared by the rebels. Refore the sortie a rebel Sheikh approached Sinkat and si mmoned Tewfik Rey to surrender, say ing that his life would be spared. The ear rison answered defiantly, reviling the rebels. During the sortie the women aud children followed in the rear of the soldiers. Large numbers of rebeh were killed. The rebels are now massing 111 the vicnntv of Sua- kim, the Siuk.it contingent having j joined the inula body. An attack on f Suakim is believed to be imminent.' don's barn was blown down and two muls killed At Janesboro the colored Methodist Church was car ried away, aud several houses un roofed. In th country it is estima ted that not less than "ilX) small houses and negro cabins were de molished and 1500 people rendered homeless. Ten miles from Covington a colored woman was picked up bod ily by the wind, and, after being carried some distance through the air, was landed in a smail stream, from which she was rescued alive, but badly injured. Two negro children perished beneath the fall ing ruins of a cabin, in which they were sleeping. At Livingston a house in which a country dance was in progress, was blown dawn almost over the heads of its inmates, but all escaped serious injuries except a young farmer nam ed Green, whose skull is supposed to have been fractured, and his death is almost certain. Following the cyclone came a rapid rise in the small streams, which flooded the lowlands for miles and caused a considerable loss of cattle by diown ing. The financial loss will proba bly aggregate $100,000. M Iks Packer's Great Wealth. The death of Harry E. Packer, the late president of the Lehigh Valley raiiroad com pan', leaves his sister in the enjoyment of the largest income posessed by any unmarried lady in America. Miss Packer's wealth consists mainly in a life interest in the stock of the Lehigh Valley R R held by the Packer estate. This now amounts to 1GO,0X) shares and the executors have subscribed to 'J0,000 more shyres under the re cent extra issue of the stock. The dividends on this stock alone will amount to 870( ,000. It is doubtful if Mrs. A. T. Stewart receiyed a greater income from her vast estate. The richest single woman in the country is Miss Catharine L. Wolfe, of New York, who owns property (worth nearly $4, tXHJ.O'K). The val j ue of the Packer estate now reaches j 1 2,00( ,KJO, and if it belonged to Miss Packer absolutely would make her the richest woman in America, i Ske has no relatives nearer than i cousins to share in the rnjiiyment Softhis vast property.
