RIVER NEWS.

The Ohio opposite this port has continued
to decline steadily, having receded during
the twenty-four hours ending last evening,
about fifteen or eighteen inches, leaving
channel-depth here of some twenty two feet:
At Pittsburg, we suppose the river is still
swelling, though we have received no tel
egrams thence up to the hour we write.
The weather continues beautiful, though
slightly cool early in the morning and late
at night. 1t is very healthful, however,
and altogether charming.
Business on the Landing was nearly
naught yesterday, as it alwaysis on Sunday.
A number of boats were there, but less than
on Saturday.
We add below some of the extracts pre-
pared for our Sundays issue and crowded
out.
