The river is on stand, but the rains Of Sun
day and Monday, which appear to have extend

last twenty years, and the large packets make
their trips with difficulty. Since our last, the
Aida and NJ. L. Daugherty have arrived from
the falls; the Camden, Dede and Effort direct
from N. Orleans; and the White Cliffs and Aida
left for New Orleans. The Camden met with
