Our thanks are due the officers Of tho An
telope for late New Orleans papers.
We notice that some of the New Orleans
papers still fail to give the propet credit 10
Evansville freight. For instance, tic Lou
isiana Courier, in Wednesdays issue, says
that "among other arrivals, they notice that
of the great Eclipse and Lucy Hol.ombe.
from Louisville, with valuable car1oes and
lots of passengers The Crescent, however,
gives the proper credit, and states that the
Holcombe was from Evansville Tho Hol-
combe is to go into the vicksburg trade, in
place of the steamer Vicksourg.
The waters at vicksbdrg were stationary
on the I'D. The 'Esptriar levee in Madison
Parish, about - nlile below Vicksburg was
cut on May 2sd, AMI the water has continued
70 pour in since t,iat time. The height Of
the water ADORE The main ian6is about four
feet, aud the le.Vee was at least an equal dis
lance above me water. A strong force was
immediate ~ set to work to repair the Gre
vase, AID up to this time have succeeded in
breaking the force of the water in a slight
deg1ee. The work is progressing under the
direction of Mr. Chas. Vosburg, who hopes to
cave it entirely closed in twenty four hours.
The levee was washed away for about one
hundred and fifty feet, and but for the
prompt measures taken for closing it The low
or part of Madison and nearly the whole OF
Tensas would have been inundated.
We have been favored with the manifest of
the Greenville:,

more rain. The river continued to rise lit

The freshct in the Allegheny and Monon-
gahela rivers must have been terrible Tho
following description is given in the Pitts
burgh Gazette, of Thursday: u
Never in our recollection Of matters in
Pittsburg, has the river risen 1T13 feet in "a
hours before this. Att o'clock on Tuesday
night the water rising with feet; last
evening, at the same hour, it stood 2515 feet
rising. The whole surface OF the Mononga-
hela was covered with drift; the piers OF the
bridge blocked up with floating timber trees
and stumps; RATS have been carried away and
dashed to pieces; coal boats have been sunk
and general devastation on all hands, wher-
ever the feed could roach. The whole long
line of boats loom up almost even with Wa
ter street, and all sorts of traps, wagons,
merchandise and plumber was speedily hauled
up the wharf to save II from the encroach-
ing waves. This rise was almost all from
the Monongahela. Last night, however, the
Allegheny, which had been backed up all
day, began to take the bit in her teeth, and to
run cut terribly Two big RATS that had
stood the racket pretty we'll through the day,
broke loose and came crashing down against
the piers of the bridges, but did not 60 to
pieces. The people along the lower bank
were collecting in crowds and cogitating
about what to do with their households in
case the water should encrosch upon their
dwellings. Upon the whole the prospect fol
them was decidedly damp.
