RIVER MATTERS.
wEATHER ANp RUsENEse

Our levee yesterday bore the Epfear-
ance of q holiday, and we at present a
see nothing in a future of nearly two
months duration to bid US hope for more
active times.
The weather is warm, as il is right and
propeEthat it should be in June.
se r at this point is falling. 1t
did down "a feetD in the past
twenty-foWr hours, as old Charley on the
Star Wharfhoat assured US it did, but the
fall amounted to fully six inches. How
long it will continue so TO fall it is hard
to say, as the news from ali sources eX-
cept 0hiOward is not at all favorable.
The upper Mississippi aud Missouri are
coming out with a vengeance, sweeping
everything before them. It will be a
few days yet before we a form
an estimate Of the extent of the
coming flood. That it may not be great
we sincerely and fervently hope, as our
people have been tried now beyond their
ability TO bear and make bread. The
second crop has already been destroyed
in many places, and at Napoleon and
below the destruction is reported almost
as serious as during the last high water.
Families have been driven a second time
to take refuge in the marine hospital at
that place, and, we learn, are now COM
pelled to leave it to avoid being crushed
to death by its falling OF osVing into the
river, either or both OF which are immi-
nent. Many of the river planters are
said to be hopeless, and have given up
the idea Of making even corn. The Ar
kansas and White rivers are falling, but
are yet very high.
