Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-11-22
RIVER


There Is some little abatement to re-
cord in the smoke nuisance which has
now enveloped ~ for three or four days.
Steamers are still unable, however, 10
make much Roadway. Several soats are
overdue, and when we left the landing
last night the Bart Able, Paragon, st.
Patrick, Mississippi, Forsyth, Altoona,
5tonewall and several others were mo-
mentarily looked for. Some OF them are
sixty or seventy hours behind ting The
rivers are all falling with thirty-eigth to
forty inches on the shOalest places In the
lower Ohio. Indications have pointed
towards q rain, however, about the
head-waters Of that stream, and it is
more than probable that our midnight
dispatches may record a rise. The fall
here goes on slowly.
