The weather was warm and sultry. The Their
mometer was at SO degrees in the shade in the
forenoon, but in the evening, about s O'Clock, the

rained.
Business-he does not live in these parts
The swift Atlantic, Captain St. Clair Thomasson,
Frank o. Smith and Charley DeVo clerks, is the
telegraph packet for New Orleans this evening on
the arrival Of the train. Her officers are GENTLE
men of the first water.
| MEMPHIS, July 1.-THE weather yesterday was

inches in the past twenty four hours. The officers
of the Petroiia report slight rise in the Arkan-
sas. The Mississippi at st. Louis was rising slowly
on the 9TH. The Ohio is falling from Plttsburg
| down, with feet water at Pittsburg, IL feet at
Cincinnati, scant feet in the canal and feet on
the bars in the lower Ohio.
| The weather yesterday was very warm, though
the morning bid fair to usher in . cool day, and
many of our friends were deceived into putting on
their heavy toggery, which they chucked over be-
Business on the levee was dull and embarrassing,
| and even the defunct Memphis Freighting Com
| pany need not go into mourning for the loss sus-
| tanned by them in not having their g big thing y
| Endorsed by the council, for monopoly of the
/ freight business now could be hauled by half a
dozen drays.
! KNAvERY AND FALsEHooD-It will be remem-
bered that some eight days since, one fellow
jerks, so styled Capt. jerks, OF Cincinnati, came
into our city and reported to the press immense
cock and bull story the purport Of which was, that
some planters down on the Mississippi river, just
| above Grand Lake, at the Edward p. johnson or
| old Tecumseh place, were robbed of $3000 and,
| furthermore, that five men were killed, and four
wounded, ETC., ETC., all of which is an unmitigated
| falsehood, without any shadow of foundation. The
| people of the neighborhood were perfectly aston
ished and the parties on the farm where the event
was said to have occurred, all affirm there was no
shadow of cause for such report, and further
more, that they have never had the least trouble
in any manner whatever with either their laborers
or neighboTs. The report was no doubt gotten up
| for political purposes, or else Capt. jerks had
some sympathetic axe to grind, in the way of a
small contribution on few days gratuitous board.
| Hand him round,
sr LOUIS, July 7th.-The river has swollen
nearly two feet within the past forty eight hours,
which is considerable rise at this season of the
year. The Missouri is rising rapidly. with guam
titles Of brush and drift-Wo0d running out. A
number of old snags, says the St. Joseph Herald
which, owing to the swiftness of the current and
immense pressure of water, are rooted up, for all
OF which the pilots are no doubt thankful Along
up the river there have been numerous sloughs OF
the banks on both sides, whole acres at times find
ing their way into the river, and filling up the chan
nels, which made out further into the stream
The Missouri seems bent on keeping up a regu-
lar " high = all summer. 1t has been many years
since the Missouri has maintained so fine a stage
ofBwater all through the season.
The Upper Mississippi continues to improve
slowly, and the late rains will no doubt, keep it up
to a fair stage for some time.
Illinois river is dead low, and will soon have tc
be abandoned by any respectable size steamer
unless it improves.

pressure steamer Creole, Captain Charles Walker
