The weather yesterday was extremely warm, with
cool breeze in the after part of the day. Business
continues dull on the landing. The departures and
arrivals were few in number. The river appeared to
be on stand, or perhaps falling slowly.
We are glad TO- learn that the upper rivers are re-
ceding At st. Louis the 23d the river had fallen
six inches during the last twenty.four hours.
The Coahoma Citizen (Friars Point) of the 10th
says:
The river at this point has risen about an inch dur
ing the week. and is rising onequarter Of an inch in
twenty-four hours It Is now fourteen inches below
below the water Of 1858. The river is much higher
at ST. Louis than at any previous date this year and
rising rapidly The fall at Memphis will reach this
place in time to protect us from the st. Louis rise
From the St. Louis Republican Of the goth /:
The river here is still coming up. It swelled
inches on Wednesday night, and inches more up to
dark last evening, making total rise Of inches in
twenty-four hours. Four feet and half more water
will bring it up to the curb stone.
The Illinois river is rising very slowly at the lower
end. For the condition Of the Upper Mississippi we
refer to special paragraph. 1t is now probably fall
ing down to Keokuk. The four feet rise reported in
the Minnesota river will not affect the Mississippi
much.
New Orleans freights continue dull at &c. for -four,
2ec for pork loc per sack for corn and 10 to 12Ac
for weight freight
TIE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER The subject of
the rise in the river is beginning to be matter of
great importance, and from what can learn there
is every prospect of the water visiting the stores
warehouses and doggeries from end of the levee
to the other
st. Paul paper of late date has the following !:
The Mississippi is more than foot higher than in
the flood of 1856 and within two feet Of the great
flood of ISL The water has raised eleven feet since
the breaking up OF the ice, and is still rising All the
islands and bottoms are entirely submerged, and
logs dead trees and drift wood are carried along in
grand confusion.
TIE FREsHET IN THE UPPER MIssIss1PPI-About
week ago the Upper Mississippi began to rise ra-
pidy, and the freshet has been steadily on the in
crease up to the present time with the prospect Of
its continuing for some days. There has been mean.
