LOUISVILLE. The Courier of Tuesday
saAs:
The river was slowly falling yesterday,
with five feet eight inches wafer in the
cana and about Three Get eight inches in
I he pass of the Indian chute on the fails.
DnIing he reviouo Iweniy-fonr hours it
had ISen five inches at the head of the
Iail and fifteen Incl es at Por land. The
weather wa c ear and pleasant an day,
though the ice was made the hight before,
as the thermom ter was below the freez
Tie ri> er at Portland, al the foot of The !
fails, had risen five On. six inches sunday |
might, CAUSED no dotlll by gorge below at |
Wolf reek, in the NarruWS; but during |
the day il Was fam < again, and we sup |
poSe the gorge has GIVEN way.
1t was repo ted by a traveler by the Over |
land route. via LeavenwortfI, tiiat iigeice |
had gorged beiow That point. ana tlldt it |
was moving very slow y aL Leavenworth h.
The gorge was at Wolf Creek, some ten or |
fifteen miles auOve Alton. '0i
The Indiana, from New Orlears as we
lea n by SPECIAL dispatch fl on Cap. Rube |
Neal had arrived mt Menpi Is early yes
tarday morning. She had a. good paSSen- /
ger and freight trip, and will probably try |
TO work her way up through the ice.
The Indiana left New Orleans last Thurs
daN and made aQuick r to Memphis,
being hut a lit le over three days out.
The Democrat, of rue>day, says:
Ice was running heavier In the river yes
terday than 1t has any day during the siege
of the Ice XII g. SfeambOatInen who were
hopeful SATURDAY now give II up, and come
10 the conciusi, II TO take the world aI>y"
until navigate II is resumed. Captain
Combs arrived from irO and reports the
ice gorged in several places The rlVer rose
at Portland sunday, Which IL
proof hat the river IS blockaded at some
point not greaJ distanc below. 1t Is
yOrg d at Wolf Creek, or therea bouts, and
here Is no telling when II Will give way.
We don't suppose it would have sOrged III
he old Alice ". hadn't gone down the
liver, pushing all the ice in tue river ahead
If her. We haven't heard from her since
The left, and suppose she is - wedged In - ut
some point. We have not heald of any
Jorge above here as yet. We Sill hope
ever.
The Alice " came here TO get a load,
business being played out at Louisville.
She got all she could carry, and left Tues
lay morning for New Orleans.
ST. LoUIs.-The Republican says:
The famous Davis cutoff has st ZENITH
,een made. The Mississippi River has
huS been shortened Is miles, The chuteiS
5 miles below Vicksbuig, on the MIssis-
ippi side. We have heard of one boatgo-
ng through, but we have learned tndt
water ~ deep enough t permit all. The
Block House. - erected by the Federal has
,een washed away. The residences of Joe
Nd jeff. Davis are therefore ON an island.
The Democrat, of Tuesday, says:
Thanks TO mild SoutheI n breeze and the
email sunshine of the last few days navi-
alton IL resumed. The scene change AL
most magically yesterday. Boats rushed to
he wharf After Change hours, half
ozen boats more were loading, and
arge Quantities of freight were dumped on
he wharf for boats not yet arrived there.
IN loads were engaged for several beats, |
