AN EcoENNrRlc LANpLoRD.-A cor
respondent of the Mobile Register,
writing from the Jackson Hotel,
Miss, tells the following a. 5f Boz
By the way the proprietor Of this
hotel is an extraordinary character.
His name is Hassinger. Idon't think
he ever sleeps. A sick paroled soldier,
a poor penniless follower of Joe John
son, occupies the adjoining room. I
heard him tell mine host that he had
served four years in the army and was
penniless. Then, said Hassinger, you
shall have two instead of one servant
to attend you. "But I have no mon
ey," urged the veteran. "Then" re-
piled Hassinger, "you shall have wine
for dinner and I will loan you enough
to take you home"
The soldier stared at the landlord
and in speechless amazement and
gratitude turned his face to the wall.
| suspected that the brave fellow shed
tears because Of this unusual generos-
ity which he felt that he deserved,
but never hoped TO experience.

RIvEE NEws.--We extract from the St.

paragraphs which follow:
Stage Of the Rioer.--By mark kept by
City Engineer, we find that in the "a hours
ending yesterday, the river has risen 8
inches, which leaves the channel above
low water mark Of 1s63--1s feet 81 inches
and below high of ls44--23 feet 4 inches,
with II feet in channel to Cairo, 10 feet s
inches to Keokuk, feet on Lower Rapids
and feet inches on Upper Rapids. In
the Missouri there is feet when the chan
mel can be fonnd, but bars are made SO fast
in this river that it is hard work to keep in
the channel. In Illinois we find not less
than 4 feet inches, on most places, Cum
herland - ahnt,t d inches on Harpeth
shoals. 4.
Rsger Rising - The latest information
from all points is that the following rivers
are rising The Missouri, the Illinois and
the Upper Mississippi, from Dubuque
down, and falling at st. Paul. But we,
look for this rain to have extended some
distance above St. Paul; If SO it will again
commence to rise soon ct that point and
