The backwater en- croached upon the southern part of the city, and at midnight on Wednesday the greaver portion was under water, aud in some places the water 1s four feet deep. The whole country in the neighborhood bas been devastated. The loss in standing and stacked corn is immense. There is no railroad connection by the Little Miami route, via Xenia. The Louisville Democrat of yesterday says the rain on Tues- day night poured down in torrents, and the whole city was thoroughly submerged, caus- ing great damage to the city. Telegraphic communication bas been considerably inter- rapted, but the connections are mainly inland, with the principal points of the country.

In view of the abolition of slavery, and-the new relation vhich the late slave race have come tooccupy in the Republic, the subject will probably be one of the most interesting before the Council.” Tse CHILLIAN War.—The Chiilians and Peruvians are sull actively preparing for a renewal of the war with Spain, and have a formidable fleet im readiness to meet the Span- ish vessels when they retnrn to the Pacific.

The Inguirer of Friday eaye The excitement m the neighborhood of the house where the Inte murder took place was very intense yesterday morning A further examination of the premises was made to ascertain if the murderer had got any- thing for bis crime. A pocket-book in which Mre. Miller kept her market money was found )n its usna) yp nd the conteats were un- disturbed. nother purse which the deceased ueually took to market was also found. It had ® tep-cent note in it. Money belonging to a society of which Mre. Miller was a member, ‘was found in a closet in the upper part of the house, Nothing was missing from the house, except a plain gold ring which the deceased wore on her fimger. Im the parlor, on the evening of the day of the rder, a copy of « morning tad was found where it had been thrown through the window by the carrier, and it is thought that the opening of the win- dow by the carrier disturbed the assassin in his operations and sea him to hasten his departure. This may acoount for the money and other valuable articles in the house re- maining untouched. Yesterday morning, Dr. E. B. Shapleigh made a t mortem examination of tue de- ceased be wounds on the head were fognd to be of such a character as to preclude gny possibility of haying been made by deceased herself. Detectives Joshua Paggart an@d George H. Smith, associated with Chief Franklin, were kept busy yesterday endeavoring to detect the perpetrator of the horrible murder. A number of arrests of parties who are held as witnesses were made during the day. Since the above was written these facts have been developed : Gottheb Williams is a butcher by trade. He Will be thirty-eight years old thts day. He never married. His father used to own the house in which Mre. Miller resided. The court, containing twelve houses, running from But- ton wood street in the rear of the house No. 924 Buttonwood street, was formerly called Wil- liams’ court. On the morning previons to the murder he came to the house. He was a tre- quent visitor there. On this occasion he asked for breakfast, which she gave him. He left, after taking breakfast, by the back door, and by way ofthe court entered Pleasant street. He stopped to speak to a Mrs. Crissey, living in the court, as he went by. He knew her well, and remarked upon the kindness of Mrs. Mil- ler. He said that he loved her ss dearly as he did bie mother. Williams lest his father some years ago. He was left witha comparative competence. So were his brothers. One of them served a term in the penitentiary. Nope ot them have any Pp rty left. Gottlieb has been several times inthealmshouse. We learn from Chief Frang- lin thay the Iast register ot his name there is dated July 10, 1566. He bas been there a sort of comer and goer. The whole family were butchers, doing business in Spring len market. Some twenty yeare ago, Gottlieb killed a boy in the market by plunging a knife into his heart. He evaded the penalty of his crime by fieeing to Ca:ifornia. For a long time he has lived the life of a va- grant. He wasstricken with palsy or paralysis about the time that he went toCalifornia. His lett arm 18 stiffened and nearly powerless. He Was at Fisher's tavero, Ninth aud Batton wood, onthe morning of the murder, at quarter to seven o'clock. He had often been there before, but neveratan hour soearly. Theauthoritics Bre satisfied that he isthe guilty man. That he took nothing away was evident, because be could not ascend the stairs. That no one crossed the fence is shown by the undisturbed condition of the trailing—delicate yines tbat overhung it. Chief Franklin tracked him to the Robin Hood Hotel, near Laurel Hili, where he had fome distant relatives and acquaintances. Gottleib then went to a large meat-packing establishment, just opposite the hotel. A can- telope iay upon the porch. with « knife stick- ing in it, * Whose cantelope is that !" he asked of a young man who was sitting there. This wus about ¢p.m. +Itis yours if you want it,” was the reply. Gottieib eat the melon, and sharpened the knife upon a whetstone. “Why do you do that?” he was asked: “you bave eaten the melon.” “I want to kill my- relt,” was the reply. “I tell you I shail; if I live tit! Friday 1 shall be thirty-eight years old, but 1 don’t intend to Ifve to see that day. 1 biought« bottle of Jaudanum here for that purpose, but the cork came out of it and I lost atall”’ This was true, for the cork was found just Where he bad been sitting. The man tatking away, glad to get rid of him. youbg man, wil others, went into the loft of the packing bouse, and there found bim lying upon the bare floor among a lot of rnbbish. The salutation they received was the same knife that was in the melon, which he threw at them. They tried to pacity him, and partially did £0. They got him back to the hotel. where a man who had known him in better days be- stowed upon hima dollar. They got him into a Ridge avenue car, when he bid them good- bye, saying that they would never see him again. He bas not since been seen, or rather bas not at this writing. His clothes were dab- bled with blood, but ashe had been among slanghter-house debris, no importance was attached toit. Chief Franklin states that be- sides killing the boy, as above mentioned, he was also charged with killing a man named Turne, by striking him over the head with a spanner. He was tried and acquitted, The police were notified last night, at six o'clock. of the description of the suspected man. Every citizen will, of course, be upon the lookout for him. He,fis five feet seven or eight inches high, with brown goatee and bair; wore a dark straw bat, and faded suit of clothes, and Jaced shoes. His arm and left side were paleied. He carried a hickory walk- ing stick, with carved handle. He had been almost a pensioner upon the woman whom he is believed to bave murdered.
