The RIVER ABovE.-The Vicksburg True Southron
of Tuesday says:
The river at this point for the past two days, end
ing at o'clock yesterday has risen nearly two inches
and is still going up. The latest reports by boats
down yesterday was that all the upper rivers
oeding, but very slowly.
The Diana reports the river at Napoleon and
Greenvile, Miss to have fallen onefourth of an inch
in twenty-four hours and was still falling slowly
The Arkansas and White rivers were stationary, and
the break in the levee at Point Lookout is reported
10 be nearly one mile in length.
The Baton Rouge Comet of the same day has the
following:
From O'Clock Sunday morning to the same hour
on Monday, the river rose at this place four and
threetourth inches. This is according to the record
of MIR. VIM. G. Waller who keeps table and makes
daily annotations Considering the present stage of
water the rise of four and threefourth inches in so
short length of time is without precedent. Serious
fears are entertained of general overflow.
On Sunday evening rain, the long wished for came
at last 1t commenced about o'clock, continued
during the evening and night and did not stop until
Monday morning 1t came at the right time CON
tinued long enough, and stopped at the right time.
