Inc weasnef yesterday was hot, and the flying dust
on tne iesee was very dngreeable. The river here
continues 70 Decline Our advices from above Is that
sne upper M'sslsslppl and Missouri are falling, and
that II rs with the greatest difficulty that boats ascend
the ohio Boats drawing 81 feet win 6nd It difficult
70 crawl over Burlington and Banny. The sand bars
are showing their dry heads all along the river, 50
that the boating business on large scale will be
suspended for time, afording fine harvest for the
small, light draught crafts which manage to run
wherever there is the least sign Of moisture. At
Louisville, there is only five feet water scant in the
canal BY the mark and three feet water in the pass
on tne falls The shoalest places below the falls
now between the mouth Of the canal down along side
OF oand island and In front Of the Portland Wharf.
An immense sand bar some two or three feet above
'ne surface Of the river has formed along side
OF sne lsiand extending nearly half across the chan
mel 70 the Kentucky shore. On the 23rd there were
but four feet water in the chute alongside of the
island. This unusual stage Of water and change Of
currents has never been known BEFORE or at least not
for many years, and it is attributable to the late
freshets, which left vast accumulation Of mud and
sand at the foot OF the falls The lower Ohio is get
ting quite low, with only five feet water on Flint
Island. The prospects now favor extreme low water
this summer all along the water courses.
The Baltic arrived at Cairo in four days and five
hours out from this port The Alvin Adams and tho
new steamer charmer, reported as being the sand
bar at Portland, were pulled of, and are now afoat.
Capts. Shute and Thomasson have bought the en-.
gines OF the A. L. Shotwell for their new boat the
Magnolia.
