is still rising, however, at the rate of about
one inch in three hours.
LATER.
The waters of the Mississippi are subsid-
ing. They reached their maximum on the
18th, and since then have receded
at the rate Of an inch in three hours. The
damage has exceeded any other former rise,
in consequence of more property being in a
condition to be affected by it. Besides the
loss of wood and lumber on the banks of
the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers, we
learn that bridges have been carried away
on several of their tributaries, and the cat
tie of farmers drowned. When the great
rise reaches the towns below, we expect to
hear that some of them are submerged.
MINNESOTA RIVER.
We learn from gentleman who came
down on the Favorite Monday morning,
that the Minnesota River was never so high
before within the memory of that mythical
parsonage, the oldest inhabitan The Fa.
vorite sailed across prairies and through
forests, without the slightest idea on the
part of the officers where the channel was
excepting when she sighted towns and noted.
landmarks.
At Chaska, three thousand cords of wood
had floated away, and the village was en-,
tirely under water. Seventeen hundred
cords of the wood lost, belonged to Mr.. G.
II. Warner.
Henderson was also under water, as far
up as the residence of j. R. Brown.
The water extended over Traverse de
Sioux, nearly up to Mr.. Flandrau's house.
West Mankato and South Bend were
overfowed, as we'll as scattering houses on
the banks of the river all the way up to
Fort Ridgley.
Kasota was also submerged, or that part
of it where the warehouse is situated.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS. A Geographic
dispatch was forwarded last week to Fort
Ridgley, containing an order for that gar
rison to move directly to New York-a
subsequent order, however, changed their
destination to Washington. The steamers
Fanny Harris and Favorite were immedi.
ately chartered and proceeded to the fort.
Monday morning about FIVE o'clock
the Favorits came down, bringing compa.
MES F. of the Fourth Artillery, and COM
pany I, Second Artillery.
Company 1 was in charge of Lieut.. Mo-
linard. commanding, and Lieut.. Grey.
CompanyF was under Major Pemberton,
the commander of both detachments.
The high stage Of water and bad roads
has occasioned some delay in sending these
troops forward. The Favorite made excel
lent time in coming down, the passage
from Fort Ridgley being made in about l8
hours.
Major Morris, commanding at the Fort,
sent seventy horses of Shermans Battery
overland to st. Paul, by way of Glencoe
and Minneapolis, accompanied by thirty
six men, under command of Lieuts. Ran.

Capt Druce's company is the ouly one
remaining at the Fort. This will also be
sent East as soon as relieved by companies
from the other forts.
Major Sherman and family, with the
guns, caissons munitions, &C., were to come
down on the steamer Fanny Harris.

Local A fl air S

The FREsHEr-The old Mississippi is
on a regular bender, and disregarding all
salutary restraints, is spreading over an
extent of ground altogether larger than can
we'll be spared. We understand, however,
that it has not yet got up to the marks of
1851 or ls59--but is approaching them at
the rate of two feet in twenty.four hours.
The islands in the middle of the river, oppo-
site the city, are completely submerged, and
their localities are only distinguished by
the tops of the willows that flourish with
such luxuriance during the summer. The
front of the stone powder house, opposite
the upper levee, has been undermined and
broken of from the other walls. Nearly
the whole fiat on the west side of the river
is under water, which completely surrounds
number of tenements, so that the occu-
pants have to take boats to carry them to
dry land. Several families moved over to
st. Paul yesterday, and we learn that others
will follow as soon as their effects can be
got together. The bridge was covered with
people most of the day, watching the en-
croachments of the water on the little village
on the other side
1t is said this great rise comes from the
Minnesota river, which is as high as ever
before within the recollection of the present
settlers.
st. Paul, situated from forty to over q
hundred feet above high-water mark, is in
no danger of inundation, and her citizens
can look with admiration at the tremen-
dous torrent of water rolling at their feet.

MONETARY AND OOMNEROIAL!
RinnnninI AnnIra.

Business was very quiet in Third-street to-
dsy. No changes in the price of Excbangeor or
Gold. All good Paper is readily taken 100
IL per cent per annum
Some Bankers continue to buy Peoples
Bank, Kentucky, at per cent. oil, but Others
refuse it.
The Farmers Bank of Lexington Mo-, too,
continues in bad repute, and while some buy
it at 80 cents discount, others refuse it Alto
gether. Below will be found what the 81.
Louis papers say of the Bank
Wednesdays st. Louis Democrat has the
following concerning the Farmers Bank Of
Lexington;
"The market is yet somewhat unsettled as
to the Farmers Bank Of Lexington, and
Notwithstanding the statement of the Cashier
of that bank, that they had burned all their
circulation recovered from General Price,
yet there is no statement as to the amount
of outstanding notes, and the specie on hand
to redeem them. And further, there is
nothing come to light as to the determina-
ton of that bank-whether it intends to
continue business on the old system, or go
into liquidation, and redeem It's paper. Lex
ington is known to be in the hands of the
rebels, and the Secession Legislature, which
has sustained Jackson in his schemes Of re-
bellion, are now in session there, aud have
passed a resolution declaring the State out
Of the Union.
at is also known that this Legislature and
Jackson have been deposed from Office by
the State Convention, and of course they are
now acting without authority. These facts
must have an influence on this Lexington
Money, and, in connection with another fact
which must have weight-the officers and
| stockholders of the Farmers Bank being Sc
| cessionists-we regard the Money as worth
| less, for Jackson only holds a temporary aud
precarious possession Of Lexington, and il
defeated by General Fremont-which we feel
sure he will be-the money aud property OF
the whole of them will be seized and confis-
! Gated"
The Republican, of the same date, stands
up for it as follows:
| "The notes Of the Farmers Bank at Lex
! ipgton have been rejected at two of our
! Banking institutions, and by some of the
Brokers and private Bankers. They have,
however, been received as usual by the Note
Circulating Banks. AS we have remarked,
there has seemed no good reason for placing
these notes under ban as there had been al
no time any report of its funds having been
endangered. Atpresent every apprehension
has been removed by the ascertained fact
that its whole retired circulation, with the
rest on hand has been destroyed-leavinp
only comparatively small sum outstanding
This sum, it is certain, does not exceed the
amount of Coin owned by the Bank"
AT st. Louis Exchange is quoted at per
cent. premium selling, and Gold at 61a@7.

POLICE COURT ITEMs.-Two old residents

The public were startled yesterday after
noon by an announcement in the Pass of
a great battle in Western Virginia, near
Lewisburg. Opinions were expressed that
it was sensational" after the manner of
our evening cotemporary. Some said "if IT
were true it would have come by telegraph"
as they (the Telegraph Company have a
geTg energetic reporter at Gsllipolis, and the
Fanny NoBurnie surely can not beat the
electric lightning of the telegraph
The Gazette in trying to be very funny,
says mo other paper had the news" well,
that's very astonishing; all the editors and
reporters in the city might have received
the news if they had taken the trouble to
walk to the landing. The afore mentioned
journal goes on to prove that il was impos-
sible to receive the news, by calculating the
distances from one town to another, from
one lane to another lane, from the head of
the Kanawha to the foot of the Kanawha,
ard finally comes to the conclusion the Pass
was sold, and being sold, it readers were
affected with the same complaint. We are
sorry, very sorry the Gazette should feel SO
sore about the matter, and suggest that its
editor be bathed with Perry Daviss Pain
Killer.
The information we gave yesterday has
been confirmed TO great extent by the re
ception of a private letter from Dr. ]. T.
Webb, Of the Twenty. third Ohio Regiment,
in which he states that battle was actually
taking place between General Cox and the
rebels under Floyd and Wise. His letter is
dated the 26th ultimo. Our information is
later, and says Rosecraps had united with
Cox and forced the rebels back upon Lewis
burg,

RIsoIGTIoNs IN MEMORY OF THE LATE
JUDGE SPENCER.-The following are the reso-
lutions adopted at the meeting of the Hamil-
ton County Bar yesterday:
"Resolved, l. That we bear unanimous
testimony TO the usefulness of this able, up.
right and learned Judge of the Superior
Court of Cincinnati, who has discharged so
long and so well the functions of that emil
nent position. In the highest places of iuris-
prudence there are few greater, and no purer
men. He was by temperamentandb by training
made one of the first Judges of the land, and
administered the law rather as a profound
science than as bundle of precedents, with
thoroughness and an exactitude peculiarly
adapted to Courts of last resort.
"2. That we lament his early death as a
stroke which not only cut short his life pre-
maturely, but left unfinished, or unattempted
many judicial labors beyond the range of
nearly all bis contemporaries.
"3. That besides his value to the profes-
sion, his clear head and enterprising spirit
identified him with the prosperity of Cincin-
natl, which has always recognized him as one
of the foremost Of her sons.
~. That his intelligent and unselfsh as
sistance to those who needed advice and aid,
was the crowning excellence of his character.
helpless have been strengthened by his fit
words his wise counsel and his generous be-
nefcence.
"5. That the loss of such public servant,
such a great citizen, and such a valuable
member Of society, keenly as we feel it, will
be more deeply felt hereafter, when our
country and our people shall have plunged
deeper into the unknown future, now so
clouded, enssnguined, and portentous.
&c. That the Bench and the Bar sympathize
with the bereaved widow and orphans of the
departed, and commend them to the keeping
of that God who is husband aud father to
those who have lost their earthly protector.
~. That we will attend the funeral of
Judge Spencer in body, and wear Grape for
thirty days. and that the Courts of this
County and District be requested to record
our proceedings"

TRIAL OF CONNER MARTIN FOR THE MURDER
OF HIS WFE.-Yesterday afternoon Conner
Martin was placed on a preliminary examin-
alton before the Police Court, for the mur-
der of bis wife. 1t was the general opinion
before the prosecution commenced that il
would utterly fail; but the evidence opened
up such picture of brutality as is seldom
known in the marriage relation, and which
caused those who were present, at times, to
shudder at the hearing. 1t appeared that
the parties, man and wife, resided on Sixth
street, near Lock, in the Thirteenth Ward,
and that both were accustomed to imbibe
freely that favorite beverage to the Irish,
whisky. He often became drunk, and when
so, was very high tempered and abusive. She
seldom became intoxicated and had the credit
of being very quiet and peaceable woman.
Often he would return home and pursue
her with hoop-pole or other weapon in his
hand, about the premises, beating her until
she could take refuge with her neighbors.
She had even been compelled to hide under
the bed and table in the next house after
having performed hard days labor wash
ing, and then, when found, was dragged
forth and kicked by her brutal husband. On
account of this inhuman treatment, she gave
premature birth to child on Friday nearly
TWO weeks ago, and one week following died.
One witness Testified to seeing the husband
strike her with his fist, while she lay in bed,
during the week preceding her death.
Officer Wolf testified that having by chance
called into the house the day before her
death, she feebly beckoned him to her bed
side, and, inquiring whether he was an Off
Ger, said, "You will have to take up my hus-
band; l am very sick and dying, and he is
the cause of it,"
Jldge Satin, considering the evidence con-
elusive, held the prisoner for trial before the
Court Of Common Pleas, for murder in the
first degree.
