The Louisville Courier of Monday has
the following;
The river was falling very fast yester-
day, with thirteen feet water in the
canal in the evening by the mark. Dur
ing the previous fOrty-eight hours il had
fallen two and a half feet at the head Of
the falls, and seven feet at Portland.
The weather has turned exceedingly
cold and clear, the thermometer in the
morning at sunrise being four degrees
below gerO-.he second coolest day Of
the year. It moderated very fast, how
ever, during the day, with the mercury
1T twenty at noon, and the snow was
melting freely in the sun. The cold
snap, however, could not hold sway, and
we think this will be q clear, mild day.
A vast amount Of snow has again fallen
ali along the water courses, and the first
rain will make another very high stage
of water. Owing to the heavy snow
storm Saturday the boats and the boat
men, the draymen and the drays, and
the people generally, IS well as the city
railroads, were all showed uBder," or
unable to move about, haul freights or
attend 10 business. 1t was a regular
snow blockade, and until the storm
sbated there wss nothing doing.
The st. Louis Democrat of Monday
has the following:
The weather since Friday evening has
not beer surpassed in GOODNESS this sea
son. Sharp and compact ice ran past
Yesterday in considerable quantities, re-
curing boats to use caution. The indi-
cations, however, are favorable for mod
crate weather this morning. The river
continues to decline, With all sufficient
water to Cairo. The cold snap has re-
hardened the ice which bridges the upper
rivers, and we need not look for naviga-
ton to Quincy or Naples for a few days
longer. Freight is still abundant
for the south, but boats find
the scarcity Of deck hands an intolerabIe
nuisance. Deck crews have been diff
cult to obtain since the cold weather set
in. The Dance left with four hands.
The Lexington, w. j. Lewis, Forsyth,
Welcome and Clara DOlsen, were ali de-
tanned owing to this cause. Those Of
them which left Yesterday were short of
hands. The White Cloud was Bading
Saturday for New Orleans, and is to leave
this day for the Arkansas. The
Tom Stevens resumed on Saturday her
trip to Arkansas river. The total dam
age occasioned by her late accident
viii not exceed $1,000. The w. j. Lewis
left for New Orleans with all the freight
she wanted. The Mary Z. Forsyth left
for New Orleans with q fair trip; she
will fill out at Cairo with four hundred
tons from the Armada. Capt. 10.
Lloyd is loading the steamer Common
wealth to leave for New Orleans this
evening. The Clara Dolsen probably
did not leave last night. She tows q
large barge loaded with flour to New
Orleans. The Lexington left yesterday
for Vicksburg with near 500 tons Of
freight. The Welcome left for Vieks-
burg loaded to the guards. The contact
of her wheel with the ice made a loud
noise.
