The recent heavy and continuous rains
falling sftsr vet season Of unusual
length upon country already Thoroughly
drenched--has been followed by sudden
and rapid rise in the already swollen We
ters Of the Mississippi, which msst now be
within few inches Of the height reached BY
the June foods OF 1850.
Brooklyne, opposite ST. Paul, i under
water. The strips Of bottom land which
flank the leyee at st. Paul are also covered,
and the water while We wFits on Friday a.
ternoon, is still rising at the rate Of an inch
PER hour, and is rapidly encroachiug Oh the
warehouses. .
The water comes mainly from the Upper
Mississippi, the Minnesota having been but
moderately affected. The lakes Of the up
per country which feed the sources Of the
NJ ississi. pi, must BE- filed with water. The
sloughs and swamps are turned into lakes
and consequently every additional shower
which falls runs from the surface into the
streams
The fall effect OF the recent storms will
not be seen till the tributary streams Of the
Upper Mississippi have discharged their su-
perfiaous waters. Rain enough has already
fallen to produce an unprecedented rise in
the Mississippi when it will have reached
its maximum, without any more contribu-
tions from the clouds, which there is reason
TO believe, from present appearances, have
packed up their duds aud gone Of by light
ming express
This effect will not be limited to the Mis-
sissppi The northwestern tributaries Of
the Mississippi head in chains OF lakes which
interlace with the sources Of the streams
flowing into the Minnesota and Red River,
which in their turns must soon respond to
the redundant volumes OF their tributaries.
Although we have not heretofore been
sanguine in the expectation that the Freight
er would succeed in climbing the Minnesota
to Big Stone lake, and have seen little
prospect of a sufficient rise in the Sioux
Wood to make the navigation of that stream
practicable, and have had even less hope
that the rise would be sufficient to overflow
the portage between Lac Traverse and Big
Stone Lake. the auguries certainly look "a
vorably now for the contamination OF the
trip.
Since writing the above We learn that
the portage is already overtlowcd to the
depth OF ten or twelve inches. This news
Is brought by an Indian who says that in
crossing the portage on horseback the wa.
ter was up to his horses knees. 1t is the
opinion OF Major j. X. BRows, that the
boat will get through without difficulty.
