The river is gradually falling, but very
slowly. We regret that there is no perma-
nent mark at this port, as it is often diff
cult to determine the stage Of the river.
We hope that in paving the wharf some
method viii be devised by which the chan
mel depth, as wen as the rise and fall, may
be readily and accurately ascertained. ~.

The weather was clear and warm yester-
day. At Pittsburg, last night, the river was
rising with five feet in the Channel Here il
has risen inches during the 10 hours end
ing last night, with feet on the shoal- A

feet in the canal. ... .--
The Emma Floyd reports that all the

LOUISVILLE. The Democrat of Thurs
day says t8kf- A+s3 AAf go AsA@ +Hd
The river was falling slowly yesterday, |
with five feet Two inches water in the canal, |
and about three feet two inches water in |
the chute on the falls. Business was dull,
The weather was clear and warm during |
the day. A good breeze sprung up about |
noon, which was quite refreshing.
There must be something wrong in the |
post-offices at Cairo and Evansville. Quite |
number of papers and letters have been
mailed at those points by our steamboat
friends, few of which ever reached us. |
Messrs. Postmasters look to it. 1t won't
hurt you much, and il will help us consid-
erably.
By close examination we judge you win
find that the fault is with the writer's
themselves, by not properly stamping
their letters. A gentleman handed us a
letter day or. two ago, just as the boat
was showing out, asking us to put it in the
post Office for him. 1t had no stamp on,
and we handed it over to the wharf boat, |
where it no doubt can be found.
ST. LoUIs.@The Democrat of Thursday
says:
The river was rising pretty fast yester-
day 1t will probably be ON a decline again |
tomorrow. The Dubuque Herald of Tues
DAVIS says: g A slight rise In the river
caused by heavy rains above, raised the |
river several inches last week and improy-
ed navigation thereby, bringing down a
large number of RATS. The swell was only |
decline. A boat reports swell at St. Paul
of three inches, and navigation is uninter-
rupted from St. Paul to st. Louis The |
