...... The Weather, yesterday, was warm
and pleasant. The air was very mild, and
vegetation is thriving wonderfully. The
RiUer continues to rise very rapidly. The
reports show that it is rising at most all
points below Pittsburgh, though it is falling
at that place. GAINESVILLE and Marietta are
both submerged, the water being four feet
deep in the streets of the latter. The Mus
kingum is higher than it has been known
for years. The letter of our correspondent
shows the stage of the Wabash. ~
