The Memphis Avalanche of the 10th, says:
The river opposite this point commenced rising
slowly last evening, and up to o'clock had swoi.
len one inch. 1t s not likely that the recent rise
above will affect the river to any extent. That in
me Ohio d amounted to only two feet at Louisville,

only six feet at Helena. at 81 only five feet are
found and almost every large boat experiences
great deal of trouble in getting over.
