FRIDAY MosNIka. April 9, 1855.
Yesterday the weather was anything but agreeable.
Asfi south wind prevailed making It very disagree
able from the coads Of dust that it raised, aud rain
was threatened all The time. The wind caused the
river to overflow its embanlSments above and below
the city. at Carroton aud at Jefferson City. run
over Ia snch manner as to produce serious appre.
heusiors Of crevasses. We heard report that be-
low the city the river bad backed up by the wind and
overfoged in many places. We trust that the sppre
hensions felt respecting the present high stage Of the
river may prove groundless, that the high wind OF
yesterday may lull and the river recede so that no
part Of city its suburbs may be injured by an
overflow. 1850 4
The reports we have from the upper rivers and the
lower tributaries Of the Mississippi are quite favorable
An are said to be falling rapidly The Era No.
/, from Upper Red river yesterday, reports that
stream falling fast as far down as Shreveport Inc
reports bv telegraph state that the Arkansas had
fallen four feet at Fort Smith and was falling all the
way down. The damage is said to be immense on
both sides Of the river, from Napoleon down to Lake
Providence the river was on a stand at Napoleon
at vicksburg il had risen 20 inches in "a hours and
was stlrsug at the rate Of about inches per hour.
At Memphis on the 4th inst the river was on stand
and tae Ohio was falling from Louisville down. On
Of IN inch an honr the Missouri was on stand and
the Upper Mississippi was at an ordinary stage.
Thus. Us ell the upper streams are falling fast, we
have nothing to fear from the present large swell in
the river coming and now at vicksburg.
