Hiram Powers—New Statues.
President Smith, of the Marietta College, writes home
fri i!ii Italy some interesting sketches of the new sculp
tures of Powers at Florence:
Mr. Powers met us at the door in his studio dress, a
brimless hat of Tuscan straw, and a wrapper of Scotch
plaid. We had found him, true to the American char
acter, at u\ r.\ Mr. Powers is a gentleman, I should
M;pp<-p, forty-live years of age, moderately stout built,
of medium statue, with strongly marked features, and a
etc, at once mtid sud buttons. With the mode—
t >f true genius, lie seemed to shrink imni compliment,
and from the simpL- straightforwardness of his manner
‘.•u are sure. notwithstanding iii. brilliant reputation,
that his thoughts are much more occupied with the cre
,i buns of his chisel tlian the ft. lie which they have se
cured. lie regretted, he said, that he had n.vhitig *f
• verv bigti ii -res* to show us; and, deub’less, to
hi- practised e, most of the beautiful works around
ns se n:ed rude in compnrrison to the Uuu > i><d in his
luiiet, and even with the n*- r. lof seme of the same
iigures, after ‘he marble has received t!ie las! stroke of
chisel. Yet how lie airily did \v. greet the head of
W. shiugtou, and Marshall, and Jackson, .f Webster,
m.hi Admits, and Calhoun. and of a multitude of others
whom the republic has delighted to honor, which stand
here the embi in* of liberty in ;he midst of Italian des
potism. Here stood the busts of Diana and Proserpine
it: the finest nimble, end “he model of the Greek Slave,
just as the artist boiiod forth his conception in the clay,
licit- st-uitl the Eve, n• of the purest a.id 1 iveiie-t forms
which the sculptors chisel ever disinterred from its
marble ceretneiils. Here stood the Californian, ot which
1 had never heard, u most gracelni female figure, alle
gorizing the seductions of gold, in her left hand she
i.-iids ■•r\ rt > r a divining rod, pointing to the aut ifo
rous ear h ; and in her right, half concealed h.uinJ her,
a scougc of thorns, so otien destined to lacerate those
who *a\. like Die sun of Hass.-.n, “ Let me be suddenly
iThe allegory is jierfec:. The divining rial!
11,,■ otien hi’ e i's portentous indications baulked the
holies which they have mtsod ! The ih tii>! They .re
,iai> halfconcealed. and the keen a.el pruden. eye of
-n, wliith sees “behind and before,” would surely
detect them ; vet how many have they deeply and fit
tallv wounded” whom the passiou for gold has made
blind.
At presi-iit Mr. Powers is engaged upon a statue of
IV .dmiE'on for the State llous* of Louisiana. It is a
noble figure: and not withstanding the artist has de
i tried from what seems to Is* one of the cations ot prac
tical sculpture, in rejecting the toga and giving to our
hem bis own military dress, the work win be no failure.
It presents Washingion exactly as he was, and us his
venerable form is familiar to every American eye. It
will please ihe American people, whether it pleases
critics or not. Whilst looking at the model of this
s:,itue I could not but ask myself, “ What has Ohio
done towards patronizing her artist citizen ?” Powers
is a Vermonter bv birth, but in very early life his fami
ly emigrated to Ohio. 11l Ohio he spebt the first years
(T'his manhood, and in Ohio lie commenced his career
as ;iu artist. Vet I learned from an incidental remark
that ihe South first appreciated his talent, and that the
tir-t order for u statue from America was received from
Charleston. There may be, and probably are, other
works of his which have been ordered in Ohio, but I do
not remember to have seen or heard ot but two—the
busts of Judge IL, of Cincinnati. Ought he not to re
ceive from the State an order for a work lor the new
Capitol, of sufficient magnitude at once to do honor to
the State, and to call out the highest powers of the
sculptor.’ How great and varied those powers may be,
the future only can determine. Nothing certainly can
exceed, in the rounded grace of muscles in repose, and
in beautiful attitudes prompted by the gentler passions,
some of the statues which have already sprung from
his creative hand.
They prove his intuitive and perfect conception of the
beautiful. O.her occasions, if they are furnished, may
prompt to the study of the anatomy of the human fig
ure under the swav of more powerful sentiments, and
we may find issuing from his studio figures whose mus
cular coinigut ions, like tin* Hay am! Night ot Michael
Angelo, in ihe Medioeau chapel, or whose “basilisk
eves,” like those* which the same great master has
taught to the glare from bencu'.h she helmet of Duke
Loicuzo, tuav appeal to other passions besides the sim
ple love of ihe beautiful and good. How many noble
scenes for bas-reliefs does the history of Ohio present!
—the massacre of.be Indians on the upj>er Muskingum,
the lundirg of ihe pioneers at Marietta, the formation of
il ci.iistituiic ii at Cbillicotlie, and many others w hich
will readily suggest themselves. Let Ohio do her duty
bv riving*her artist son au opportimitv to test liis
strength.'*
After an hour of untningled gratification, we left
the studio of Mr. Powers, full of admiration both of the
aitist and his works.
Children. —There is not iu this world a more love
able object than a young child—its fair brow unshadow
ed bv care, i:s clear ey e undimmed by tears, its pure
bean untainted by passion. Its every word, look and
ac a n bespeak guilelcfont". Ls smiles —its affection
a e endearments-—its unstinted confidence —its artless
winning ways, knit it to your heart with ties cable

hoods ringing laugh and bird-like music, how desolate
the household ! livron had a heart ovemmning with
love tor children, if there is any truth in words. W fiat
a delightful picture he here hoids up to us :
“ Look I how he laughs, and stretches out his arms,
And opens wide his blue eyes upon thine,
To hau his tuther; while his little- form
Flutters as wing'd with joy. Talk not of pa.n !

The Flood at Columbus.
Tire j tut,; of :he 27th ultimo, furnishes the following
! account of ihe disasters of the the tlood a! that place :
Great Rain Storm. -While we write F'riday m ir
n “g a viole .t r in - onn is iaging. It coiiuneuc and ,n
| Wednesday evening ytxnit sunset, and the clouds Daw
1 been pouring down sheets ot water, with brief inter
; missions, ever since. The storm i> accompauieil bv
I much thunder and lightning. The river at the city has
swollen M” feet, aud has caused a havoc to the water-lot
! and factory interest of the most serious character.
j Thursday was a day of painful excitement. At about
! in on ot that day, a section otf the East wall of the re
i servoii. extending from ihe Eagle Factory to the Pal
ace Mills and the \ ariety W oik>, gave wav , under the
pressure of water, ar.d carried wi h it, thetiume of the
Pa!a * Mills and die bride which connected the Variety
I Works with the shore. A littlel.nl. about ten years old,
had just taken his foot from the bridge over which he
hail passed to carry h.s lather's dinmr, who was at work
! ‘t* ’be \ ariety Shop, when it was swept away. When
tae bridge went, th.*re were fifteen woikmen and the
J-*d in tin- shop, cut oti troin the main land by a boom
i !g !’ “and that no boat could live in, and no hum in pow
jer s.em. .Mean time, the river was rising at the rate
; riiree feet ;u. hour, and the means of rescuing the
j people in ihe Mill was at once considered. By means
jot alightcord and a weiglit, cuiiinmnication was cs
| tablished with the ujiper pier of the mill from ihe Hume
lof the Eagle Factory. Three ropes were passed over
1 and secured, and iu the course of three hours, three of
! the hands were got safety over. At this moment, the
I flume began lo tcel the | ressure of waier, if liftcsl up
and jiorted from the null a couple oi feet, it was no
[ longer sate to work there. Ihe ropes were thrown over
ami another sj*ot selected to esiabtisri communication.—
! A short distance below the palace mills were two piles
jof loose rock tha’ had been blasted from the race. The
j one nearest the Variety mills was chosen, and ropes
! were passed to tli ■ s&coi and store of tile 1 uilding. W hile
some twenty per oils were on thr- pii*-, she rising ri. r
| swept away the .iinber communication between it auu
I the bank, and left them cut otf. At this moment, lion,
j J. L. Morton, the Mayor, who was early on this spot
and working hard on the rocks to get the people off,
j made a mis--tep or a slip of the foot and fell into the
j Hood. Every body thought he was gone, but by a few
v igorous strokes he made out to grasp one of the rocks
j ot the lower pile, about forty feet distant, and obtained
I a footing. And there he was, like Robison Crusoe, on
an island, all his own--a boiling toneut betwixt him
and t rcajirma, his hat gone, aud the pitiless storm
jK-lting lus bare head, after a good ileal of delay, ev
ery tody advising, and every body excited, a cord was
thrown to him aud then a strong rope. Passing the
cord twice round lhs breast and ;hen lashing himself
seen el. t” tber. pe, liis honor | lungci in and wassttfe'y
j drawn by four strong men, to i> n and No 1. He was
j t'.n nce passed ssliure by another rojie and landed, the
I vvetiest and at tlo- same lime the Mayor, th it our
i city ii is seen for some time. There was a loud and
, I earnest hurra from crowds of the jveopie on shore when
jhe landed. Island No. !. was now eonneeted with the
shore by two long ladders spliced together, and the op
eration- with the mill were resumed. A large basket
was rigged so as lo slide over the two ropes connecting
j the second story of the mill and the lock island. A
cord was attached to each end, so as to pull the basket
back and fonb. When all was ready, the little bov
was the first to take ihe dizzy ride, lie was put in and
made to si; down, his little white head just appearing
above the top of ihe basket. The line at the island was
hauled taught and slowly, amidst the breathless anxiety
of th‘ sjiecaitors, ihe descent b.-gan. In a few minutes
be was within ten feet of the island, the basket touching
and dancing on the foam of the current, and just there,
ihe basket s’uck fast and would traverse neither one
way nor the othe'\ It appears there was a knot or
splice iu one of the. large ropes, and there the basket
-'rink. The poor li;tie fellow was kept tossing in his
most uncomfortable cradle fur ten or fifteen minutes,
until a boat hock was reached out to lift the sliding
cord of the ba.-ket over the knot. Mr. Frost then took
him on his back and passed him over the ladders to tlie
shore, where he was received with a shout of welcome
and deliverance. By the same means, the remaining
twelve men were landed, the last reaching the sin re
jii-t a* nightfall. Mr. Win. Brooks. Dr. Theot hilus
S’evvart and many other citizens were indefatigable in
their exertions, aud ii-ked their lives to rescue the men
from their uncomfortable imprisonment. The two
islands of rock, are this morning covered with the
flood.
We esteem it great good fortune that we have not to
record to-day the lus- of life. The crowd oil the shore,
the eagerness to help, the rushing water into which
in my plunged to gi’ e help, and the slipjiei v bank, ga\ e
us reason to believe that the day would hardly pass
without some accident.
The damage done is deplorable. The factory busi
ness is done fur. tor a long time to come. The heavy
stone reservoir which cost two years of hard iarbor and
the exjHMiditurc of x4",<nmi is in ruins—the whole of the
lo ver part and a large section of the eastern wall gone.
The machinery in the Variety Works, the Palace Mills
end all the factories, except the Coweta which stands at
the ‘lain across the river, is stopped. Meantime four or
five hundred operatives and the families depending on
tlieir labor, amounting, we suppose, to not less than eight
hundred persous, are thrown out of employment, and
the means of earning a livelihood. These people will
doubtless require assistance, and we hope to se.‘ the an
]>*■:.l, when made, generously responded to, both by indi
viduals and the city.
Awfi l C’asi ai.ty.—The extensive rains have done
most serious damage to the Railroad culverts below.—
laisl evening, as the Camden train proceeded from the
Junction towards the Waterce, tlie bank and culvert
near Clarkson’* turn-out being loosened by the wash
ing rains, the cars were precipitated over the bank.
Tin- venerable Col. Richard Singleton, and his grand-son
Robert, sui of the late Marion DeVeaux, were instant
ly killed. Mr. Bradley, >f Sumter, received injuries
that his life is despaired of. Young Mr. May rant had a
leg broken. Mr. Shiver, the baggage master, was
bruised badly. The conductor, Mr. Scantling, was
hadlv injured. Two Germans, who were on the car
are missing, supposed to be buried under ihe wreck.
A woman who sold cakes in the car lias not been seen
since. The Engine passed over, but the tender and
passenger CRTs were dashed to piece*. No passenger in
the passenger car was injured. Col. Singleton and
grand-sou, were in the baggage car.
The culvert at Dry Branch, two miles alxivc Gads
den, also gave away last night with a freight train.—
The Engine go: over, but four cars of the train were
thrown off.— C- iutnC’ia 11.-nu r, 2PC* ititt.
Cincinnati. —The following brief sketch of the early
history of Cincinnati, is taken from the Nonpareil:—
“This city is now about sixty-four years old. Some
time between Oc'ober, 17*7, :>d January, IT'S, John
Cleves Symines, of New Jersey, made a contract with
the Treasury Board of the United States, on behalf of
himself and associates, for tlie lands lying lietween the j
two Miami rivers, bounded on the Sonrii by the Ohio I
river, and running North so far as to include one mil
lion acres. Os this purchase Synmies sold to Matthias!
Denman six hundred and forty acres, lying opposite !
Licking river, on which Cincinnati is now principally j
built, for forty-nine dollara. About the loth of Septem
ber, 17”, a party met on the site of the city, and made j
a plat of the incipient town, tin the 2ktli of December, i
17”, the first landing of the immigrants tbr the settle-!
merit was made, and in January, 17s'.‘, the streets were!
surveyed and named in that part of the town lying be-j
tween Broadway and Western Row. During this year,;
several log houses, and one frame house were built, and j
some of the out lots, all of which w ere North of Seventh !
street, • were cleared.’ The legal title to the grounds
on which the town was built, being still in Symmes,
I the patentee, all the deeds for the original in and out
lots were made by him. In 17'. “, the lots on fractional
i section** No. 12, w ere laid out by the patentee, anil on j
| trie 2d March, l-< s, the reservation around Fort M ash- j
j ington w as sold in hits by the Surveyor General of the
North-Western territory, under the direction of the |
! Secretary of the Territory. Between tlie Ist and l"thi
of January, 17- ‘, the name was changed from Losanti-j
ville, (which it had been firs!christened,) to Cincinnati.
Such is a brief sketch of the early history of the Queen ‘
City of the We-t. Wlmt a contrast she now presents,
to tlie struggling log-built village of sixty years ago ! j
Expemexce of a Convict in Ai straua. — Many a |
time have I been yoked like • bullock with twenty or |
thirtv others, to drag along timber. About so * died ■
in s x months at a place called Toongabbie, or Const it u- i
tion Hill. I knew a man so weak, he was thrown into!
i the grave, when he said, “Don’t cover me up; I ami
not dead; ter God’s sake don't cover me up!” The’
overseer answered, “ D-n your eye*, you’ll die t< - right,’
a* 1 we shall have the trouble to cmite bock again!”—
That man recovered; hi s name is Janies Glasshouse,!
and he is now alive at Richmond. They used to have |
a large hole tor the dead ; once a day men w ere sent!
down to collect the corpses of prisoners, and threw i
them in without any ceremony or service. The native j
do used to come down at night and tight and how! in i
iiack-, guawing the dead bodies. The Governor would i
order'the lush at the rate of -s*". *>• to mni; and if ihe
ok u could have stood it. they would have had more.—.
I knew a man who was hung there tor stealing a few ‘
biscuits, and another for stealing a duck frock. A man !
was condemned —no time —lake hi.a to ihe tree and |
han-’ him. Tlie overseer* were allowed to flog the men |
in iTie fields. Often have men been taken from the!
