TUE FLOOD AT ELLICOTT O}TY, MD, Great Destraction of Lives and Property— Nearly Half the Town Swept Away—The Patapsco Forty Feet Above it? Mean Level. Euvicorr Crry, July 25, 1863, ‘The destruction caused by the flood yesterday to ‘Wis town ts far greater than it has been on any pre- vious occasion—greater than was represented in the accounts first published, and even greater than the residents themselves believed until the light of to-day gave them an opportunity to take a fuller account of ‘tho losses. Almost one-half of the town has been swopt away, and in places where noble mansions and rows of granite houses stood scarcely a stick or stone remains to mark the spot. Nearly all of the extensive mills which supplied work to the inhabi- ‘ants have been washed entirely out of existence, and the two or three left standing are so utterly ruined as to be unfit for repairing. About hatf-past nine o’clock yesterday morn- ‘ng the alarm was given by persons who came from the country adjacent to Ellicott City ‘What the Patapsco river was rapidly rising, and in a Jew minutes the water began to rise at the mills. By ten o'clock the river had swollen to such an extent as to create general alarm to those persons who ‘were absent from their homes, who hastened thither to save what they could of their property, and everywhere people who dwelt close to the banks of ‘he river were seen making preparations to guard against the impending inundation. From this time ‘wntil the flood began to subside the scenes that pre- wented themselves on every hand were heartrending sndeed. Never before had the Nood descended so rapidly or | rose to #0 great a helght at this piace. The river | | at this moment to say, but serious and seemingly old enemfes, a hea rain and a south wind, were they would save thelr goods’ and ehaiele fiom dan: fave their mm chan aye or destruction, ‘The water in Jones? Falls com. menced rising very rapidly about eight eight o'clock, and gradually creeping upwards first overflowed its banks and filled the east side of Centre Market Space and Swan and Hawk streets, Another hour, and it had backed up sufficiently to overftow Harrison Street, and in a few moments it was in Holfday, Frederick and Saratoga streets. Persons living in these street ta the depressed sections of the city had been hard at work all the morning removing their furniture and goods to a place of safety. At twelve o’clock the cellars of perhaps two thousand houses in this section of the city were fied, and the water was steadily rising on their first floors, but as the storm had commenced to abate hopes were still entertained that the flood was at its height. About half-past twelve o’clock, however, the flood commeneed to rise more rapidly than ever, and in a half hour reached ceili where it had pre- viously only invaded floors, and the greatest con- asternation prevailed, So rapid was this rise, and so wild and furious the rushing torrent, that the lives of many persons were jeopardized, and we regret to add that several lives were lost, Had it occurred at night, asin the great flood of 1837, the loss of life could not but have been immense, PASSENGER CAR SWEPT OF, About half-past twelve o’clock one of the city pas- senger cars of the Gay street line crossed the bridge, coming towards Baltimore street, with about a dozen passengers, including one lady. Immediately after crossing the bridge the car proceeded on as far as Saratoga street, down which the water was running ata furious rate, reaching the floor of the car. The horses floundered in the water and the front wheels left the track, and the driver unhitehca his horses and endeavored to attach them to the other ena of the car and draw it back on the bridge, but his efforis were not successful. The car was overturned and two of the nassengers were drowned, THE SCENE ON BALTIMORE STREET. Standing at the corner of Frederick and Baltimore streets, about half-past one o'clock, the scene was truly distressing. ‘Yhe flood had now swollen into an angry torrent that rushed down the beds of Har. rison and Frederick streets in volume and swiftness reseanbling the rapids of Niagara. At the corner of Harrison street, in front of Laroque’s drug store, the water was within one foot of the top of the street lamp. Ever and anon maases of timber and wood, boxes, barrels, railroad tles, articles of house- hold furniture, fencing, trees, wagons, outhouses, and, in short, all manner of @bris from the wreck aml roin along the hne of the Falls came sweeping down the fearhu current, and piling up in front of the Maryland Institute, where, in this way, a sort of breakwater was formed, protecting that building against the beating of the billows—for, in truth, nothing less than billows they were that swept down. both Harrison and Frederick streets. ‘Lhe water, soon after this, was seen to dash over the bed of Baltimore street bridge, driving the people assembled there in wild confusion toward High street. About this time word came that Gay street bridge was seilously threat- ened, and in attestation of this report there was soon @ flood of water, pourmg down Gay street, and shortly thereafter the back water came in large vol umes down Hollid: street also. Language is al- most inadequate to describe the scene that was now witnessed. The sinface of the angry flood was fairly covered with every description of material, telling sadly and painfully of the mmense loss, ¢ struction and distress that this disaster was occa- stoning. Now the porch of a house, now the con- tents of some store, now the timbers of brides and warehouses would come dashing along with fearful rapidity, driving up against buildings, crashing win- dow glass tn the first floor and bursting in doorways, At one time we noticed a child’s crib floating down Harrison street, and several bodies of animals, cows and horses were also seen, while not a few of the spectators were of the opinion that more than one or two of the dead bodies of human beings were to be seen, How this may have been it is impossible well-grounded apprehensions are entertained that serious loss of life has been occasioned. DAMAGE ON NORTH STREET. _The effects of the flood were very severely felt on North street, and it is almost impossible to estimate the extent of the loss sustaiued in this portion of the flooded district, From the high ground near the City Hall excavation, just south of Lexington strect, the water covered the whole extent of the street northward towards Eager street, flooding eve building. In some places, say from Pleasant street northward, the water was fully ten to twelve fect deep.‘ residents of the sinall dwellings in the neighborhood were obliged to take refuge in tie upper stories of their dweilings, and some made very narrow escapes, Tone forty feet above its ordinary level, and it had reached nearly ten feet before a drop of rain fell in | ‘this neighborhood. | Skirting along tho rivers back on the Baltimor Wheeling turnpike stood a row of large stone how ‘The occupants weve frequently warned of the dan- gerous appearence of the freshet, but trusting to their former experience they chose to remain yet a | Mitie longer, thinking there would be time to escape | when the worst came, Within a few minutes the | Bood rose £0 rapidly that all communication was ent | ef aud the current rushed so swiftly that it was | Jound unpossible to render them any aid. | At this time the water had only reached above the | lower story of the houses and no danger was appre- hended if the occupants could reach the roofs. ‘This | they at once proceeded to do, but the water stl rose | higher and higher and sped on ite frightfal coarse | with immense velocity, and to add 1 the terrors of | whe hour huge masses of drift rubbish came rushing upon the doomed dwellings. The family of Dr. 'f. B. Owings, consisting of Mrs. ‘Owings, #1x children and three servants, had gathered im the third story of their dwelling when the house, which was frame, was lifted from its foundations | and carried across the street against a stone house ccoupied by a Mr. Fountain. Mrs, Owings and her | children clambered upon the roof of Fountain’s , houxe, where they thought they would be safe, A few moments after this Dr. Owings, who had re- turned from visiting a patient, arrived at the river | wank, and was just in time to behold the crumbling away of the house and the terrible death of his wife and children, who sunk amid the wreck, holding their hands towards him vainly imploring his help. The side wall of Mr. Partridge’s house fell and ex- posed to the agoni: spectators about fifieen per- sons, who had sought refuge there, ail standing in a group and embrading each other. | This heartbreak- Ing scene wae beheld for a moment or two, when the house feli with a crash into the boiling surge, carrying with it every soul. | Such scenes as I have attempted briefly to describe were to be seen along the entire front of the town | within these terrible two hours—from eleven till one | o'clock. | Every effort was made by the horrified citizens to | rescue those Who were in peril and quite a number were saved: but owing to the speedy work made by the flood in its fearful velocity, many perished within a dozen yards of the shore The whole of the lower part of the town w fooded and to-day presents @ truly deplorable sp tacie—goods washed out of stores into the streets | and furniture out of honse, al) lying in tangled heap ‘with here and there trees, logs, stones and the debr of houses and bridges.

THE RAIN STORM, About two o’clock on Friday morning @ rain storm, accompanied by thunder and lightning, commenced, but the fall of raip was not serious until eight o'clock, when it commenced to pour down in such volume that fears at once were entertained as to a flood in Jones’ Falls, which passes through the heart of the city, dividing East from West Baltimore. This Stary fail of rain continued, without Intermission, ‘until after one o'clock, flooding the streets and ren- dering pedestrianism next to ab impossibility.

SWEPT DOWN THE FALLS, Whilst the flood was at it height the spectators of the fearfal scene on the lower portion of the Falls were horrified at beholding a man fu the middie of the mad waterceurse, bravely for his life. While evidently fully aw: his awful i, he was yet showing great presence of mind a au tiousness that seemed (© warrant the hope that he must surely be saved. On hegped, striking outbravely with his hands, and now and then diving, avoiding obstructions and to clear the timbers of the bridges as he neared them. He passed tn this way Lombard Street bridge, Pratt street bridge and the bridges south ofthat seemingly in safety, until the current suddenly dashed the poor fellow head foremost against a siall tugboat, where he sunk and was lost. The name of this victim has not been learned, and, 80 far as we are advised, his body has not been recovered. THE DESTRUCTION ALONG ‘TUE WHARVES. The mammoth body of water that poured with such terrific force down Marsh Market space, rick street and Gay street into the wharves at the south side of Pratt street can scarcely be deserthed. PRATE STREET The bed of the street wasn ted and carried away, the enormous stones forming the coping at the edge of the wharves torn up as if they were mere pebbics aud tossed on edge and transversely 89 that the water pouring over them formed a cataract the width of the streets, and swept downwards into the docks with a volume of sound that could be heard a considerable distance. This was especially the case at the foot of Centre Market 8) where from Du- gan’s wharf on one aide and Mckldery’s wharf on the other the torrent of angry, turbid water rushed ouward with @ force that carried down huge beams aud rafters, barrels of whiskey, beef and pork, and where It poured over the head of the destroyed dock was converted into # cataract that can be likeacd to nothing but a miniature Niag- ara. Down this stream there came a number of staves, probably 25,000, and a short dis- tance further down the dock they caught against some huge pieces of lumber that had become fixed ‘oss it. In this way a strong boom was formed, and as the piled up mass of debris grew greater it made a bridge on which a person could cross dry shod from shore to shore, People ving in that sec- tion and the hands on the vessels lying in the do reaped a rieh harvest by gathering up many of the articles of value that weve caught against ‘the im- provised boom. Some of them appropriated to them- selves a8 many as five or six barrels of whiskey or salted meats, while others laid in a fair stock of fur- niture, such as chairs, tables, lounges, and in some instances bureaus and wardrobes. Armed with boat- hooks and grabbing tongs they fished eagerly for the valuable articles, the Notsam and jetsam of the great flood, The same scene on a small scale was to be witnessed in the docks at the foot of Frederick and Gay streets, THE BRIDGES DESTROYED. It was rumored during the afternoon that all the bridg 28 over the Falls had been swept away, but we are pleased to learn that this is not the case, though the few that are leit standing are nearly all ina dilapidated condition, ‘The stone bridge at Eager street stands firm, and does not appear to be injured in the slightest degree. ‘The Charles street bridge is swept entirely away, the abutments having yielded to the force of the tor- rent, ‘The stracture was soon dashed to pieces and came down with the muss of debris against the Mon- ument street bridge. ‘The pressure of debris and its damming of the flood at Monument street soon caused tne water to ise and flow over the bed of that structure, and in a few minutes after it floated from its abutments and was dasiied into iragments, The Madison and Centre street bridges, the Millen street and the Swann street bridges soon after gave way and were swept down the current, the abut- ments and approaches to these fine stru res being: entirely destroyed, The Belvidere bridge was not injured, it having withstood all the floods tor tifly years past. ‘the firm iren bridge at Fayette street was also swept off. This bridge was of massive cast iron and probably had enough tron in it to constract a half dozen bridges, ‘The abutments gave way about half past one o'clock, aud the tren superstracture crum- bied into a thousand fragments. Even the abutinents were pushed out to their bases, Baliinore street bridge also caught a large portion of the floating timber, and is badty damaged, though it will probably be made passable in the course of a few days. Pratt street bridge 18 also in a critical condition, andcannot be used except for foot passengers, The passengers by tie railroads were conveyed in omui- uses between the two depots last night. The bridge over Bast Falls avenue was not injured in the leasi, and this and the Eager street bridge are the only two now serviccable for travel.

The bridge itself is raised from the abutments on the north side, and the railing on both sides carried away, ‘The water when at its height was nearly a foot over the railings, and it is singular that the stracture retained its posi- tion. RESCUES FROM DROWNING. While the flood was at its hig yesterday Colonel Edwin H. Webster, Collector of the Port, was leaning from’ one of the windows of the public store, corner of Lombard and Gay streets, he ob- served a man named Canvles, who liad lost his foot- hoki and was being rapidly carried, without any control over himself, down stream of water that was rushing down Gay strect. He would in all probanility have lost tus life if Colonel Web- ster had not plunged into the water, then about five feet deep, and rescued him. During the afternoon and evening there were several cases of persons who were rescued from drowning. A cradle, containing a child twelve or jourteen months old, was observed about three o'clock, carried by the water to the intersection of ligeh and Freneh or Front st . Policeman Albert Gault jumped into the current, whieh waa swiftiy bearing the infant along, and seizing ft, safely conveyed It to dry land, where it was given In the stills and in the bonded warehouse was swept of down the Falls.

It was in an almost complete condition, but was dashed to pieces when going over the falls above the bridge. All the market benches in the upper market house of the Marsh Market are jainmed into the lower mar- ket, and remain in inextricable confusion, A man took refuge on the roof of the fish market, and was compelled to remain in that position, with the water touching the eaves of the roof, He was rescued when the flood subsided suiliciently, Mr, MeNoles, a blacksmith and a eripple, was saved by Colonel Webster from the second story of the public store corner of Lombard and Gay street where he had been washed by the flood. Colone' Webster rushed into the torrent and saved him at the risk of his own life, The Baltimore Special Dispensary, 73 North street, suffered severely from the flood. The water ran within two feet of the second story. ‘The apothecary department was totally destroyed. The loss is not Jess than $400, Messrs. Parlett & Muhihofer, carriage dealers, cor- ner of North and Saratoga streets, sustained a loss of from $2,000 to $2,500. Great credit is due Mr. Parlett for helping to save the lives of women and children in ihe vicinity of their establishment. Messrs. George Appold & Sons’ tanaery, on the west side of the Falls, below Eager street, was com- pletely inundated and several frame structures washed away. A race passing through the upper portion of the grounds had its walls partly washed away and otherwise damaged. A house on the southeast corner of Madison street and the Falls, belonging to Mr. Henry Crey, had the side wali and a portion of the front wail carried away. A portion of the front and side wall of Messrs. Denmead’s foun- dry, on the south side of Monument street, was un- dermined and carried away. The foundry on the north side of the sume street was considerably dam- aged. The side wall of Messrs. Bayfield & Greggs’ Maryland Tannery, on the west side of the Falls, corner of Centre eror| was washed away and the entire premises flooded with water. The stable of Mr. Bernard Clark, on the south side of the same street, east of the Falls, was washed down, The rear wall of two dweiling houses, binding on the stream, belonging to Mr. Clark, was also carried away. <A large frame structure belonging to Mr. George Moyer, on the north side of Bath or Foundry street, Was swept away, with seventy head of hogs, as reported. A loft containing hay, part of the same building, was carried by the flood beyoud Hitlen street on Front, and lodged in front of Dr. ‘Thorne’s establishment. Among the losses in the vicinity of Centre Market gpace, one of the greatest was that of Mr. Benjamin Kerry, tea dealer, 25 West Baltimore street. His stock inthe cellar and first floor of the store was valued at $20,000, and is utterly destroyed. ‘The large grocery houses of C, Lewis Duniap and Edward C. Ross also suffered the almost entire de- straction of the immense stock of groceries and liquors stored in their celtars and on their first floors. ‘The losses of each of these gentlemen will probabi: reach twelve or fifteen thousand dollars. Smit! Bros. & Co., merchant tailors, at Marbie Hall, 38 West Baltimore street, had their stock of clothing and cloths damaged toa large extent. Their loss will also be weil up ito the thousands. In fact, all the stores and business houses lying in that section have sustained losses that it is now impossible to enumerate and that will make a heavy figure in the immense total that is yet to be reckoned up. rhe cellar and first floor of the public store, corner of Gay and Lombs were flooded, ie cellar was tiled with a large quantity of gins, wines and oth liquors, in casks. “Itis believed that the dam done to them is slight.

A portion of the wall of the i Frederick streets, oc y, Was washed i stock greatly damaged, ‘Tie pavements tn front of the Weeker office and two other buildings between Fayette and Baliimore atyeta were torn up by the action of the water. he yard wail of the Middle District station was partially washed dow1 THE ARBOR. But little damage was done to the shipping im the harbor, although the tide was unusually high. After the rain and wind had subsided hundreds of smali boats filled the busin, some engaged in ferrying sengers from one side to the other, who gladly availed themseWes of this mode of communicating with their families. There were other boats, however, that were not exaployed in sach honest enterprise. At the mouth of Jones’ Falla and its immediate vicinity were a number of small craft engaged in gathering up the wreck of homesteads that the tor- rent had destroyed, collecting lumber, barrels, hogs- heads, household utensils, and in fact articles of every description, not for the purpose of oon | them, but for plunder. These “river pirates’ would secure a boat load of anything that they could get hold of, ran it over to the Federal Hill or Locust Point side of the Basin, land it there and return for a fresh cargo. These pirates seemed to be principally engaged in capturing the staves and ends of hows. heads used by the sugar refineries, thousands of which were floating in the Basin, having been swep: away from the sugar refineries bordering on its line. BOAT RUN DOWN. About two o'clock, as the tug Grace Titus was coming up the harbor, nearly opposite the Long dock, one of the many boats in that vicinity ran imme- diately across her bows and was sunk. Immediately upon the colliding of the two boats the only oceapant in the smatier vesse! made a desperate leap for the bow of tile tug and succeeded im obtaining*a hold and dragged limself upon the de ‘The rowboat had passed underneath the tug and bottom upward.

The Patapaco washed entirely through the lower portion of the large nail factory at Avalon, a mile above the Reiay House, and the machinery at the works was damaged to @ very great extent and the stock in hand entirely carried away. The houses of the workmen, surrounding the factory, and like it | situated on low ground, were inundated, the water | even reaching the second storles of some of them. It ig not known that any lives were lost at this place, but many famiiles lose all their household property. LOSS OF LIFE NEAR THE RELAY HOUSE—A MAN RIDES BEVEN MILES ON A LOG. Yesterday morning, while the flood in the Patapsco was rising very rapidly, three. men, James Byden, George Byden and another named Hawk, employes at one of Winans’ farms, about a mile this side of the Relay Honse, went ont in a row boat to an island in the river opposite the farm, for the purpose of se- curing a small steamboat belonging to Mr. Winans, and lying at anchor at the island. island the water gained on them so rapidly that they were obliged to seek refuge in the limbs of a svca- more tree. The water still continued rising, and after the men had remained in the tree half an hour, | endeavoring to save themselves from the mass of | tiinber that was rushing down the strgam, the tree was uprooted and they were thrown into the cur- rent. Geerge Byden has not been seen since, and is supposed to have been drowned. Hawk was thrown higher up on the Island, and 18 supposed to have been killed by the force of the shock. A tug will be sent after him as soon as the water subsides sufficiently to allow of its use, but it is hardly possible that in his exhausted condition he has survived the dangers he encountered. James Byden managed to get astride of an im- mense log, and was washed down through the boil- ing and seething current until he reached the Long Bridge, at the foot of Light street, where he clutched some of the thubers: and saved himself by getting upon the bridge. During his perilous passage of seven miles he was severely bruised and cut by the debris which was floating down the river, pieces of which were constantly striking him. He barely es- caped with his life, and his adventure may be re- garded as one of the most remarkable of this re- markable episode. He was put into a carriage and sent to his home at Winans’ farm. MILLS DAMAGED. Roberts’ Flour Mills, located at the western end of the viaduct over the Patapsco, near the Kelay House, was inundated on the first and second floors, the ma- chinery greatly damaged, and the large stock of bar- reHed flour and grain washed away, causing a loss of many thousand dollars, A building known as White's Toll House, on a high bin near Elkridge Landing, was washed away, but luckily no loss of life occurred, although the people in the house were exposed to great danger. The engine house at the Relay House, where the water was putnped into the tarks for supplying loco- motives, was entirely destroyed. ‘The flouring mills of Charles A. Gamorill & Co., on the bank of the Patapsco between the Relay House | and Nchester, suffered great damage. The building is undermined, and the stock of flour and grain washed away.

The rain storm was the talk of the town yesterday, It did little comparative damage, but brought, as everything in nature does, a twofold compensating blessing. It washed and, literally, scrubbed our streets as clean as a kitchen floor, and left off just at drying time in the morning, when the sun awoke and set lo work to finish the good and wholesome task the rain began. [t did another excellent ser- : it gave spice and variety to that abominable of conversation, the weather; for everybody Was ready with some experience of how tt pelted upon his roof or upon himself, as though it were the original deluge redivivas, and of course there were manv gaping tales to tell.

Of course a great many houses in the poorer part of the cit, where the r e but an exaggerated texture of pastebourd, admitted a good deal of the pluvious ele- ment and drenched many an unfortunate tenement house lodger in his moments of repose, but kindly Providence sent no worse calamity to hit.

People in that section of the city began to get alarmed at the appearance of the deiuge, as they looked upon it, for the sewers were not capable of carrying the wa- ter off, and the consequence was the streets were fliled and became like rivers, and the cellars of the houses were overflowed. A number of men were at work during the entire night in order to prevent their houses from being inundated, A brick house undergoing repairs at the corner of Fifth avenue and Sixth street was considerably damaged, The sidewalk, together with a lamppost in front of the house, was washed away. Poplar Pond, near Fourth and Fifth avenues, where the sad drowning casualty occurred about a week since, was filled, and the sidewalks and ortions = of the adjoining streets were cai away.
