JEFFERSON SoLtEGE, We are glad to learr,
that the telcgraphic despatch which we pub.
Eiished announcing the destruction, by fire. of
Jefferson College, eannohsbnr, Pa turns, out
to be incorrect. We take the following from Il e
Pittsburgh Post of Yesterday morning
JEFFERsoS CoLIEeE.-Somc of the papers
have stated that there was quito rebellion or
mutiny at Jefferson College, Cannonsbure, late
~. Astudcnt Of the College Informed us yes
terday that such was not the fact One student
was suspended for week for some offence, but
is taken back, and all is harmony as heretofore
1t seems to have been reported ut the East,
too, that the Jefferson College building was
burnt down.. Such is not the fact, or Mt least
was not when our informant left on Tuesday
evening, Wedo not know that such reports as
those above noticed can do any body any harm;
but they arc worth correction.
T7iE RIVER was at stand last evening, with
4 fleet inches water. Wednesday nights rain
will probably lseeplit up for a fewsdays.
We learn from the Cincinnati Gazette, of
Wednesday, chat the river had fallen three inch
esat thatlpoi in theftwenty-four hours precc-
ding, and was still slowly receding, with ten feet
three,inches water in the ,chanpefto Louisville

The ST Louis Democrat, ofAIonday, says:
The river opposite fell six inches since our
last: surface of the river almost completely COW
cred with heavy floating ice. The Keokuk,
bound for Keokuk, found the ice so heavy that
sheswas obliged to. store her cargo at Quincy,
and turn back. Several beats from this port to
the Upper Mississippi, and others bound down
have laid up along shore, in the safest places
they could find. Still other boats, loaded and
ready to go up, dare not start out, consider it
worse than useless to leave. The Areola came
in from the Ohioon Saturday and started back
yesterday. She sped down the river quickly,
pounding the ice and making great noise.
Her colorcd iiremen sang out asmelody, as if
glad at the prospect of getting out of the ice
The ice in the river was thick enough to retard
the progress Of the ferry boats, they evidently
moved more slowly than usual The Gipsey ar
rived on Saturday from the Upper Mississippi.
She had intended to go to st. Paul, but got only
to point fifteen miles above Dubuque, turned
back and stored her freight at Dubuque. She
reports the river falling, with thirty inches on
lower rapids. The st. Mary, bound to Keokuk
from this port, is reported hard aground at ar
saw; and no probability of her getting off soon.
This is bad news; she is n good boat, and may
be destroyed by theice, together with her cargo.
The Admiral reports floating ice in the Missouri
from Brunswick down. There is no doubt but
that stream and the Illinois are now very fnllof
ice. The Russell is up for the Missouri, but she
will not be likely to go. $3.50
