The ovsinow OF the westsrn Waters.

The OvernoW OF the Western Waters.
The St. Louis Republican Of the l4th instant
says:
GAIL our accounts from the up country continue
TO represent the along the line Of all three
rivers as one of unboundcd disaster and distress.
The same melancholy tale Of farms submerged,
crops ruined, stock destroyed, houses damaged or
carried of, business suspended, and apprehcnsons
Of future stagnation OF trade, y told by every
mouth.
81 In our own city the water has rcceded only
nine inches since the flood came to a stand. The
ievee continues under water; merchants are trans-
acting what little business IL doing in the upper
stories, TO which entrance il afforded on the back
street; steamboats, approached only by staging
extending distance into the stream, lie at
anchor in the channel. In fact, never since 1874
was there such a tune here before"
The same paper of the 10th reports rise of one
inch. and remarks:
= Yesterday, for the first time within week, we
had fcw hours Of cloudiess sunshne-a most re-
freshing sight. after week of dismal, rainy
Their. A great deal of rain has not fallen here
within that time, but we apprehend that other
tions have been less favored. and il is probably
owing to this that the river yet remains at its
extraordinary height We fear. if the present
weather continues the food will not be the great
est calamity to The crop of corn can hardly
fail 70 be very light, and other crops must also be
seriously injurs<h, The prospect is very gloomy
one, unless there 10 very favorable change in the
