RIVER NEWS.

The Ohio opposite this port came to a
stand on Sunday night, and has since been
declining slowly, having fallen during the
twenty-fOur hours ending last evening about
eight inches, leaving, according to the
Water-works report, channel-depth at this
point of less than forty one feet. The river
at Pittsburg was receding yesterday, with
nine and half feet water there.
The weather yesterday was clear, mild
and beautiful, still resembling Spring more
than mid-winter. Business at the Landing
was tolerably fair; more doing than at the
close of the past week, though the reduced
space of the Landing gave it much liyelier
appearance than when the water was lower.
Freights were moderately offered at our last
| quotations.
The river was still swelling at Louisville
| on Sunday, with fully twelve feet steamboat
water on the Falls in the evening, either for
ascending or descending boats. During
| Saturday night the rise at the head of the
Falls was sixteen inches, and Sunday it was
rising one to two inches per hour.
Yesterdays st. Louis Repabican says,
under date of Sunday evening:
The river here fell about one inch in the twenty
| four hours ending at dark last evening There Ia
fve feet full in the channel out 70 Cairo. There
day but it was not heavy enough to Interfere with
Navigation. The weather is cool and fine We
Should the weather continue mild and open, we
look for great revival OF business this week. All
| the lower rivers in good stage. The upper
streams still remain closed, and will probably be in
the same condition for two or three weeks yet.

turn our left flank, and To reach the railroad |
leading hence ia the direction OF Winchester
To do this, he extended his lines, which ne
was enabled to do by reason of his great num-
bers. This was unfortunate for US. as 1t re-
ouired corresponding extension OF our own
lines 10 prevent his extreme right from OUT
hanking us-a movement on our part whlcn
weakened the force of our resistance along
the whole line of battle, which finally extend
ed over a space of two miles. 1t also render
ed il the more difficult to bring up reinforce
ments. as the further the enemy extended his
right. the greater the distance our reserve
forces had to travel to counteract the move
ment.
This effort to turn our flank was pressed
with great determination for five long, weary
bours. during which the tide OF battle eboed
and flowed along the entire line with alter
nate fortunes The enemy's column contln-
ued to stretch away to the left, like huge
anaconda seeking to envelope us within lts
mighty folds and crush US to death; and at
one time it really looked as ii he would
succeed.
The moment he discovered the enemy's or
der of battle, Gen. Beauregard, it is said, dis
matched orders to Gen. Ewell, on our ex-
IRENE right, to move forward. ssd turn his
left or rear. At the same time be ordered
Generals Jones, Longstreet and Bnoham. oc-
cupyiug the centre of our lines, to Cooperate
in this NOV ement, but not to move until Geh.
EwelI had made the attack. The order to
Gen. Ewell unfortunately miscarried. The
others were delivered but as the movements
of the centre were to be regulated entirely
by those on the right, nothing was done at
all. Had the orders to Gen. Ewell been re-
| ceived and carried out, and our entire force
brought upon the field, we should have de-
stroyed the enemy's army almost literally

except at the loss of thousands OF prlsoners
and all his batteries, while the field would
have been strewn with his dead.
Finding that his orders had in some way
failed to be executed, Gen. Beauregard at
last ordered up portion OF the forces Which
were intended 10 cooperate with Gen: EWell.
IT was late however. before these reinforce
ments came up. Only one brigade reached
the field before the battle was won. This
was led by Gen. E. K. Smith, of Florida, for
merly of the United S ates Army, and was
mart of Gen. Johnston's column from WIG
chester. They should have reached here the
day before, but were prevented by an accl-
dent on the railroad. They dashed on tne
charge with loud shouts and in the most gall
liant style. About the same time, MAJ. Elzey
formerly of the Augusta Arsenal)-comlng
down the railroad from Winchester with the
last of Johnson's brigades, and hearing the
| firing Immediately quit the train aud struck
across the country, and, as gracious lor-
| tune would have it, he encountered the ex-
treme right of the enemy as he was feelng
his way around our flank. and with his brig
ade struck him like a thunder-boit, 1uil IN me
face Finding he was about to be out-ndnKed
himself the enemy gave way after the second
| fire. Meanwhile, Beaureaprd rallied the CEN
| ire and dashed into the very thickest of the
| fight, and after him rushed our own brave
| bows. with shout that seemed to shake the
| very earth. The result of this movement
| from three distinct points, was to iorce PACK
the enemy, who began to retreat, first IN good
order, and finally in much confusion. Al
this point, the cavalry were ordered upon the
pursuit. The retreat now became perfect
rout. and it is reported that the flying le'
gions rushed past Centreville in the direction
Of Fairfax, as if the earth bad been opening

Cen Johnston had arrived the preceding

Ar balfnast six in the morning the enemy

DECAY OF CoUNF OAYoUR's HEALTH.-
Count Cayour's strong health threatens to
give way before his intense incessant occu-
patton, strong appetite, luxurious living,
plethOric habits and want of bodily exercise.
BE is always up and at work at five o'clock
in the morning. From nine till half-past
six in the afternoon, he directs all the busi-
ness of his own departments, and takes a
general survey of those of his more helpless
colleagues. Then follows dinner, his only
meal, / believe, in the twenty-four hours,
and, / am told, none of the Ightest. He
uses no carriages, but a walk from his pri-
yate residenae in the Via CavOur to the min
isterial offices in the Piazzo CASTILLO, is but
poor relaxation. Sometimes have met him
walking outside Of the porticoes along the
Via di Pc, evidently for breath of air, but
he aeeastomed the world TO too constant a
dependency on his master-mind to allow
himself the Indulgence even Of a quarter OF
an hours constitutional" n
The activity of the mans mind is inn
measurable. He neglects nothing, forgets
nothing; no scheme of policy OF diplomacy
is too hieh, no mean detail or particular is
too 'cOnmon-plAce for him. He has an eye
for every thing; he trusts few men5 and these
generally obscure but able indiyidnals OF his
own choice and creation. He writes most
bf his letters with his own hand. He writes
! plain and distinct round French hand,
with lines wide apart--a hand of which
strength and decision would not, on tirst
inspection, seem to be the most obvious
characteristics.
