RIVer - eWS.
The river at this point came TO stand
yesterday morning, after having receded
some Eve or six feet, and at dark last
night was commencing 70 rise. There
ia another heavy rise reported at Pitts
burg and at Cincinnati and Louisville
The river was rising quite fast on satur-
day evening, so that We may expect a
higher river than we have yet had.
We had but little opportunity for the
past two or three days to look after river
items, and as the New Albany Ledger
has failed to furnish any river report for
the past two days, and the reports in our
amiable Third Street neighbor is so I'M
reliable, we fear we shall fail to interest
oIr river friends this morning.
