information:
EVANSVILLE July oath, 1853.
EDITOR JouRNAL;-I find in your issue of
to-day statement that portion of the Di-
vision street culvert had given away in con-
sequence of the heavy rains. Allow me to
state that this is incorrect, and that the Gull
vert stands as firm as if it was built on solid
rock
The only damage sustained by the rain
is that one Of the small lateral drains, which
carries the water from the street cutters into
the culvert, was some what undermined, in
consequence of the cutters not being proper
ly ccrbed and paved, which twenty-five
dollars will make good
Respectfully yours, &C.,
j. d. SAUNDERS,
City Engineer.
TheSt Louis Republican gives the follow
ing as of the most interest at that point:
The river at this point commenced rising
again on Wednesday night, and at o'clock
last evening had risen inches more, max
ing the total rise 8 feet inches. The rise
was more rapid about dark than ii had been
during the day. 1t rained necessarily all
day yesterday, and part of the time it pour
ed. Business was almost entirely suspend
cd on the leyee. The officers of the Vixen
from st. Paul report a total rise Of 8 feet at
St. Paul. They left on Saturday, the 18th,
at which time the river was stationary
Down freights were scarce. The Illinois
river is rising from naples down. The Mis-
sissippi from Keokuk down, with all the
small streams, pouring out full The Mis-
souri, is reported falling by the last arrival.
There will probably be a rise of two or
| three feet more in the river at this point
which will bring the water up level with
| the street. There is from two to four feet
water in many of the cellars on the levee,
and appearances favor another flood.
The Vincennes Gazette saws that the
steamer Black Hawk lies hard aground al
Rodifeis Rifle
The Alvin Adams went down Saturday
afternoon, with good trip.
Remember, everybody, that the Done has
been reftted throughout and leaves positive
~ to-day. Her old friends must not forget
TO have freight on hand in time, and per-
sons wishing to go down the river will
meet with no better opportunity.
We understand that the body of Lewis
Sinzch, who was drowned some time ago,
which was found and buried at Shawnee
| town, has been exhumed, and will be
brought 20 this city for final interment.
The splendid low pressure steamer, South
erncr, is the regular Louisville packet this
afternoon at o'clock.
The High Flyer will be up from st. Louis
this morning, and will receive freight and
passengers for Louisville.
The New Albany Ledger of Friday even
ing, says heavy rain commenced there
that morning and continued up 10 noon.
Ii adds: This rain is much needed 10y
farmers i'll this vicinity, as corn, potatoes
&C., were beginning to show the effects o.
the long dry and hot spell we have beer
