GIeanings from Our Exchanges.
CINcINNATI.-The Commercial, of Satur-
day, says:
The weather was cool and cloudy all
day, with very hard rain yesterday morn
ing. At Pittsburg the river is falling, with
80 inches in the channel. The Kanawha is
stationary, with 81 inches In the channel
Here the river Is rising slowly, with 6A feet
on the shoalest bars hence to Louisville.
There is "A feet in the canal.
LoUIsvILLE.-The Courier of Saturday
says: Gi
The river was falling slowly yesterday,
with feet inches water in the canal in
the evening by the mark. During the pre-
vious twenty-four hours it had fallen two
inches at the head of the falls, and six
inches at Portland. The weather was dis
agreeable, threatening rain all day, with
heavy rain early in the morning and
during the night previous. 4r
On the falls last evening there were feet
inches water on the pass down the Indian
chute, and the river falling slowly.
The prospects favor another rise, as rains,
though light, have prevailed along the up
per waters, with rise in the Ohio at Pome-
roy. At Cincinnati 1T was falling slowly,
also falling at Pittsburg, with no boats
from the latter port plying below Parkers-
burg. The Ida Rees was the last departure
for Cincinnati. The Argosy, with rich
store of oil barrels, had arrived all safe at
Pittsburg.
The Rose Hite, that had grounded on the
Dar JUST dOOFc OICcu 1SINGT, Is anOaI, ali
right, the late rise having taken her off the
bar. She will be taken out in the docks to
be overhauled and repaired.
ST. LoUIs.-The Democrat of Saturday
says:
There is new movement in the river.
1t is declining here slowly. If there Is dry
weather for two weeks about all the big
boats will be laid up, and about all the
small ones will be running, and have all
the business they can attend to.
The Upper Mississippi continues to de-
cline all the way from st. Paul to Daven-
port, and now doubtless below that point.
The Illinois was swelling the other day,
but is probably now on the decline.
The Upper Missouri is bad. We hear of
two railroad packets aground between st.
Joseph and Omaha. The decline con-
tinued In that section of country, and like
wise from st. Joseph nearly or quite to the
Mississippi. Really, the latest river items
are dlscouraging TO big boats, and excel
lent on the other hand to small ones.
The Arkansas was, at the latest dates,
stationary, with q inches ON the we'll
known bar. The weather is cool and be-
coming fine. Business would be brisk to-
day among the boats, but Andy johnson
has turned it topsy-turvy entirely. Mr..
President must not come more than once
! q year, although we fear the good eating
and drinking he will be subjected to by
Captain Ruble, on the Ruth, will cause
him to long for other visits to st. Louis.
John HaZlett, well known on Western
waters as a steamboat pilot, died suddenly
on Tuesday. last, in Allegheny City. An
inquest was held and verdict rendered Of
death from visitation of God.
