RIVERS R1slSs.-Prospects Of a Flood.
The St. Louis Republican, Of Tuesday,
10th inst, says: ... s-.-5
The river at this point has risen stea-
Oily since Saturday last. At this point il
had risen at least twenty feet at six o'clock
last evening, and was still rising very ra.
pidly. Freight piles were being moved
yesterday. and not before it was necessary.
Eight or ten feet more will bring the wa.
ter even with the level portion Of the le-
wee. and portion Of the railroad over the
river is already under water. Last night
there was every prospect Of continuance
Of the rise. Dispatches received in this
city yesterday. report a rise Of twenty feet
at Lasalle in the Illinois River, and about
ten feet at Peoria. We have no advices
from the Upper Mississippi, bu, presume
it is also rising. The Missouri rose six
feet at Jefferson City on Saturday last, but
was yesterday reported falling at South
point. The ice in the river was very hea.
w, and chiefly from the Missouri. The
river was full Of it. 1t came down in small
cakes. and about one foot in thickness.
The current was exceedingly rapid, prob.
ably eight or ten miles an hour, and il was
almost impossible for boat to make head.
way against it. The steamer Baltimore
backed out for Alton, but was obliged to
return to the Levee.l The other Alton
packets did not attempt it. The presump-
ton is that the ice will have all run past
by this morning, and that boats coming up
or going up, will experience no more diff.
Guilty. We have accounts that the Ohio
river between Pittsburg and Wheeling is
booming high, and still rising. There isl
sixfeet on the falls, and plenty Of water to
the mouth. The Levee was the scene of
good deal of hustle and business yes.E
terday. All the boats were doing some.
thing. either receiving or discharging, or
getting ready for business. Drays, hacks,
and wagons Of all descriptions were bur.
rying about full of business, and the steam.
boatmen were enjoying glorious anticiPa.
tons Of brisk season, from the spirit
which attended its opening. The weather
was rather cool, but fine. Everything,
both animate and inanimate, seemed to
say winter is over. Eag yasal galissieJl,zl
