RIVER MATTERS.
AND RIVERS.

We are having cSld, pressing weather.
O%vercoats are in demand and fires are
brightly burning in every homestead,
except those OF our river men, all Of
whom are too poor to buy coal. even II
they possessed a cottage by the river.
The Ohio is rising, with AZ inches In
the canal At Louisville, and no small de-
gree Of excitement all along that river
among men who had eaten about the
last corn dodger saved up from a loRg
lie o It's bosom st. Louis has been
stricken with ehOlers. Our city and
| New Orleans have felt the bosom OF de-
~structIon pass over in the way OF SICK
ness aud death. River men have borne
their share in all those trials, as the reg
lister kept by the clerk Of Capt. shAron's
craft will tsstify-for those who went
that way, though but asnall per centage
10 comparison with those Of other call
logs, were all cabin passengers. It Is
meet and Just that a small portion Of the
activity seen in other walks OF life should
now be allotted TO those who go down to
the river 10 steamboats, We hope the
Ohio may therefore continue to swell I'M
I'll ten feet can be found on her shOalest
places. From here to Cairo and 81. Louis
i've and q half feet are found. There is
no change IN other rivers. White river
has three and 8 half feet to Devallis
Bluff and three feet TO Augusta.

The r L. Lee at last report was still
hard aground at Point Pleasant. She
had been stripped Of everything-freight
peopIe, fuel, dunnage, In fact, all that
could bv FemOvai add to her chances OF
getting off the bar-but in vain. She
laws with her bow in the bar, and it is
feared that she will not get Off without q
rise. We sympathize with Capt. Can
non, and think that no better evidence
could be given to our people Of the bene-
fits to arise from having the ways at
Padueah removed to this point without
DELAY, than this accident TO the r. E.
Lee. Hence to New Orleans we always
have water, and with good ways at
which large steamers could be repaired
would command all the work.
