The following is from the Memphis Appeal of the
18th:
The river was stationary at this port yesterday,
with indications Of slight swell. The shoalest
point between this point and New orleans Is AT
Helena bar, where 8 feet seant is reported. The
weather is delightfully."- pleasant here, with every
thing favorable for business which was active, on
the wharf yesterday.
The Louisville Courier, of the 9th inst, says:
The river continues to rise slowly but steadily,
with feet inches water in the canal last evening
oy the mark. During the previous "a hours the
river at the head of the falls had risen fully two
inches, which is half foot at Portland, making
nearly 6 feet water on the bar at present. The
weather has turned suddenly cool, and during the
greater portion of the day il was windy.
There have been hard rains all along the river
between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh and their dis
patches announce heavy rains at both places, which
have caused the river to commence swelling, and
the probability now is that we will have enough
water before long to relieve some boats Of their SIT
nations on the bars below here. The rain above
here has been general and all the tributaries OF the
Ohio are rising.
