in the levee at RowlettF, or Blackmore's,

The Vicksburg Wing, of last Wednesday,
says:
The river is stiIi swelling. 1t rose two
inches in the twenty -four hours ending at
o'clock last evening, lacking then but fif-
teen inches of last years high water mark
We learn that the levees have given way
in several places in Washington and Issa-
quena counties.
We clip the following from the Louisville
Journal and Courier:
The river since Saturday has been rising
rapidly, from the sudden effects of the I'M
equalled storm of rain and snow of Friday,
with fully IL feet water in the canal last
evening by the mark. This is rise of
feet at the head of the falls, with feet
steamboat water down the Indiana chute,
and nearly feet water for ascending boats
up the middle chute.
This rise has been sudden and unexpect-
cd, making the falls navigable again for
boats to ascend and land at the city wharf
The snow has been heavier than the rain
passengers by rail, Saturday, reporting full,
8 inches of snow north of indianapolis
The moisture and heat of the earth have
caused The snow to melt and run off into
abe water courses.

trade, prior to his departure South with the

coast trade. She is to be fast passenger
packet, to ply between New Orleans ant
