FROM Inc Oh LOUIS Republican, Zltl INST.
1.-THE weather continues to wear a very unset
tied aspect, and 1t is not probable that any deci-
! dedly pleasant weather will be experienced until
after another storm of rain. Business, usual on
Saturday, was very good, and general rush and
| stir was noticeable on the wharf. The river con-
| times TO rise, although at very slow rate
] There is now very good stage of water in every
direction, and all fears Of low water season are
| apparently dispelled."
| Fran Memphis Bulletin Sept. 2Sth The
! Louisville Courier of Saturday reports: The In
diana sndNthe Judge Fletcher are 70 leave this day
! for New Orleans. The rise in the river has com
| PEELED the abandonment Of the attempt to raise
| The suDken Silver Cloud. The Kentoh has been
scld at Pittsburg to Capt. Wash. Kerr, for $4,000.
| Our landing was quiet yesterday, as Sunday ought
| 10 be. The weather was fine, with a cloudless
| sky and cool wind-a cheerful contrast to the
! rain and gloom we have suffered from so much
| since July. The river has the proportion of
spring; the spot where the bar lies on the oppo.
site shore can only just be distinguished, and the
/ liver is still rising"
