Miscellaneous.
The upper tributaries to the Missis-
sippi are all rising again. The lower
ones are doing the same The crevasses
have done some frightfal ravages along
the banks of the lower river. The crops
have been for the most part badly in
jured. a,~ wa ~
Tarrapin-neck cutoff, in the Lower
Mississippi, is now the main channel of
the river By that chute bend of fif-
teen miles is cut of.
The St. Louis Republican, of yester-
day, says We learn TINT the crevasses
have committed sad havoc along the
Lower Mississippi, particularly on the
coast. That, together with the mortality
among the mules and the negroes, is
sure to shorten the crops more than half
the anticipated yield, and but very little
sugar or molasses need be expected from
Louisiana next fall or winter We will
still have to depend npon the island sup
plies.
"The body of a man, supposed to be
one of the victims of the Missouri, was
taken from the river opposite Evansville
on. Sunday last Not identified Had
nothing on but shirt and boots. if'
capt. Harry Brolaski is rapidly
pushing the new Keokuk packet Andy
johnson forward to a state of compile
ton. The citizens Of Quincy, of the
Johnson persuasion, have made arrange
ments to give her grand reception on
her first trip up. They have ordered for
her set of colors, together with gor-
geeusly framed copies of the Constitu-
ton and a portrait of the President. The
presentation will be made by General
Singleton.
"LoUIsvILLE-The river was rising
steadily yesterday, with eight feet eight
inches water in the canal by the mark
On the falls, last evening, there were
seven feet water in the pass down the
Indian chute, and fully FIVE feet nine
inches steamboat water over the rocks,
and the river rising. A good tide, or
upstream water, is expected on the falls
this evening. " Fl
