The Alton Clay Club held special session
YESTERDAY 10 hear the report Of the Delegates to
The Baltimore Convention. Hon. Cyrus Ed
WARDS and GEO. T. VI. DAVIS, Esq. addressed an
eager audience with glowing and animated de-
sc,iotions of the occasion and briefly alluded to
the cheerful prospects of the cause, closing with
patriotic appeal to every highminded Repub-
lican in behalf Of the great National Interests,
irrespective Of local and sectional feelings. The
speeches were received with much applause (of
course). and the Club adjourned after passing
several resolutions expressive OF the qualification
Of the doines of the Convention with the most
satisfactory and harmonious feeling.
The Mississippi is now higher than it was ever
known to be by the oldest inhabitant OF the place,
and it Is st rising. while the rain pours down IN
a continuous current The water reaches within
few inches Of the curb stone on Front street and
,houph the river IL from l5 10 30 miles wide for
{, long distance above us, it s still rising more
than - inches day. A, Madison, five miles
below, the Mississippi is forming for itself a new
channel: crossing the American Bottom, (Which
is an alluvial deposit and easily worn away.) and
finding i,s old bed again below ST. Louis 1t is
said by those who have examined II that there Is
no doubt it will ere long be the only course of
the stream, and that there IS every indication 1t
will be accomplished at this time. II thus should
be the case, ST. Louis will be high and dry AS
the junction of the Missouri is 20 miles above IT.
The crops are suffering exceedingly rom the
wet many large fields of corn that were growing
finely, are now, and have been several days, COW
cred with water, and ifit does not Immediately
sttbsdc the com must he destroyed. Wheat that
is lust ready to :. head OUT is beaten down by
the cont nued rains fat To the earth, and two
large farmers told me to-day they would be glad
to sell their crops for one-half of an ordinary one.
Fruit promises 10 be very abundant, and vcgeta-
b!es begin to come into market pleniifnlv

The MISSISSIPPI FLooo.-From a ST. Louis
Era of the 25th, we clip the following intelligence
of the subsidence Of the Flood in the Mississip-
pi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers;
The river here has fallen Ii inches since last
evening the fall is on the increase, it is clear of
the sidewalk in front of Battle Row now, and in
a day OF two more at its present rate we may
expect to see large portion of the wharf above
water.
The steamer John Aull, from Weston, reports the
Missouri River falling fast; there between Fix
and feet wafer the channel the 22d oppo-
site to ihit place
The Lewis F. Linn Gown this morning from Bruins
wick. reports the Missouri River falling fast there
were between six and eight feet in the channel
ei Brunswick. The river was within lis banks all
the wav down.
The Boreas from KeOkuk, reports the upper Mis-
sissippi falling slowly, and that 1t has receded at
Quincy since It's greatest hight nboul two feet.
FLoons AT THE WEsr.-St. Louis papers of
the 25th represent the Missipp Usage and Hi
nois Rivers as falling slowly. The great rise in
the Mississippi is believed to be the result of
the heavy rains, chiefly in Missouri and Illinois,
in connection with what is termed the Annual
Rise" An intelligent observer, says the Old
School Democrat, German gentleman of ST.
Charles County, before the rains were over, esti-
mated he quantity that had fallen to be equal to
the whole amount in the same neighborhood for
t,ro years previously!
