The weather is milder, but still
cloudy and hurried. The river
had risen about 6 inches up to 3
o'clock yesterday, and was swelling
steadily. At Cincinnati and Louis
vile it is rising fast-from | to 2
inches per hour. The general belief
there is that 1t will be higher than
ever. The fall in the Wabash and
