ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 2D.-The river sweled rapidly
yesterday and damaged sundry piles of freight.
Other piles of lumber, salt, etc, were being en-
croached UPON last evening, and became a prey
to the aqueous elemental the draymen employed
for the purpose did not succeed in quickly Temoy-
ing said articles Of merchandise The current is
very turbulent. The Illinois is still rising rapidly,
bank full, and. ten feet of rise is the Missouri was
reported last evening. This looks very much like
the symptoms of freshet Hence it behooves
owners of goods on the banks to remove them
WITHOUT delay. TO Cairo we may report eleven
feetin the channel On the lTth the upper Mis-.
sissippi at and above Dubuque was falling slowly,
and lower thanit has been this season. The rise
in the Mississippi if there is any above the mouth
Of the Illinois, begins about Rock Island.
The largest Illinois river boats are now running
in that stream. Rates of freight are tumbling.
Business is improving New Orleans freghts
futtered considerably yesterday. During por
ton of the afternoon the Kilgour and Lady Gay
were getting all they could attend to, and passen-
isgers were unexpectedly numerous, not only for
them, but forthe Memphis and Arkansas packets.
The rates to New Orleans yesterday were: flour
SO cents per barrel pound freghts so and 40 cents
The Kilgour took -four on Tuesday at IS cents, and
none yesterday at reduced rates. II was rumored
the barge line will put corn down to 20 cents per
bag, and Hour to 40 cents per barrel. Freight was
abundant for the Arkansas, and boats for that
stream were numerous enough at the wharf to
take it all, and more.
The departures include the Lady Gay, for New
Orleans. The Gay has splendid trip, drawing
eight feet Of water, and has her cabin about full
Ct passengers. Her cargo includes 100 mules.
