FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
The weather yesterday was chilly and foggy
with the sun well obscured nearly all the evening
Business was extremely lively on the levee
large number Of the packets being in port. The
river continues to rise opposite this place. The
Dexter met with an accident near Rodney yester.
day, in which she broke her doctor wheel. Mr.
John Ksin Of Reno, Smith Il Co.'s foundry, left
yesterday to attend to her case. The first ice
gorge OF the season Is reported. Ii oscurred on
the l7Ih. In the Missouri, north of Portsmouth

The Davenport Gazette. Of the 18th, has long
article going to show that most important
combination Of eastern and western cap italists is
being formed for testing the merits Of through
shipments Of produce by the Mississippi aud gulf
route TO New York and the Old World. Says the
Gazette This explsins the intention of the N.
W. Union Line to break in when business from st.
Louis to New Orleans opens next season, aud
estaollsn iaclnuee Tor unDr0ken shipments from
St. Paul to the gulf Capt. Davidson president of
the company, is in the combination. He intends
10 test to its depths the scheme that Merry inau-

River risirrs very slowly all day yesterday. the |
downward eallop hsvsax failed TO perform. Up |
per Mississippi as before repcsted and as every.
body knows it to be Illinois higner~than there
is any call for. According to the reliable ofacers
of the Mountaineer there Is in the Missouri river
a. feet water TO Jefferson City and 81 feet above.
Freight scarce on the Missouri. The upper Ms
souri, was frozen over at Omaha on Friday morn
ing. with people crossing on foot. Probably that
gorge soon gave way. Full of floating ice at 81.
Joseph yesterday. Upper Mississippi declining.
Weather Moderate. Any one designing to post
his boat for New Orleans is advised to defer
action for a few days. Tonnage is really too
heavy for the amount Of freight to 60. Why, OF
all the boats to leave yesterday, only one eft aud
that was TOW boat Those on berth are hungry
to greatness for freight, and goodness knows
when they will have enough. We don't believe
that big fortunes can be made by steamboats, at
any time, and less likely are they now than ever
to make fortunes for their owners.-[5t Louis
