The Ohio river is perhaps at lower ebb
now than has been known for many years.
Hardly has boat of any kind passed this
place since the latter end of May. SIEVE
raj steam boats have been lying between
here and the mouth Of the river all sum-
mer; some nearly or quite out of the wa
ter, others barely saoat. 1t is astonishing
to think that the Ohio, one of the largest
rivers in the world-the Ohio, whose swol-
len waters some months ago presented
current of fifteen hundred miles in length,
and from one to ten in width, and whose
depths were almost unfaihomable, should
now be comparatively a small stream,
fordable in many places, and literally seek
ing its way over pebbles to the great Fa-
Their OF Rivers, the Mississippi.
This interruption to our commerce is the
more injurious to the western country, as
it happens When symptoms Of general DIS
tress, induced by other causes, are SO SEN
sibly felt.
