We. therefore deem it our imperative
duty, for such imprudence, inattention,
and negligence, TO revoke the license Of

The New Albany Ledger Of Wednes-
day says:
II has been raining steadily for the
past II hours Il is predicted by the
weather-wise that we are TO have great
food in the Ohio the coming spring.
The HtssoUri Democrat Of Wednes-
day says:
The cry Of low water hereabouts has
ceased. A good stage will probably ex-
ist throughout the spring. A rise is 60
ing on in earnest. The river at this
point has risen say five and half feet
altogether, principally since Monday
evening. The ice on the Upper Missis-
sippi, for many miles above Alton, has
broken up, and was floating past here
thiekly yesterday, seriously Interfering
With the movements Of steamers. A
dispatch 70 J. S. McCnue, dated Quincy,
llth, reported the ice moving, end q
rise Of four feet On Monday the river
had fallen two feet, and was ggged at
Hannibal, but We reckon that gorge has
gone. Now there Is from this point 70
Cairo, doubtless, ten feet Of water On the
worst bars At last accounts Arkansas
River Was stationary and turning 10 a
rise, with three feet water in the chan
mel % Little Rock. On the lllh, the
ice in the Des Moines River broke up
at the Baena Vista ferry, but gorged
again Foot passengers could cross on
the l2th
A Cairo dispatch Of the 18th, 70 the
Missouri Democrat Of yesterday, says !:
As the steamer Argyle was rounding
out from the wharf last night At ten o..
cock, the Mary Forsyth ran into her,
striking forward Of the wheel, causing
her to sink in about forty minutes The
Argyle was run on bar opposite Cairo,
where she nov lies with water few
inches over her main deck astern, but
dry forward She was in Government
service, laden With wagons, horses and
soldiers. No lives we're lost.
The Mary Forsyth cant leave here
until to-morrcw, as her guards will have
to be repaired Of damages sustained By
collision with the Argyle.
The Mississippi is again falling at ST.
Louis, with 10 or ~ feet in the channe
20 Cairo.
