two feet water to Fort Smith. At this
point the river has fallen two inches

that rain was not a great way off and
to put the threat into execution. the
clerk of the weather sent us three

the others in the afternoon. After
the latter showers the air was, to a
degree, cleared of its in
intense heat.
Business matters on the landing
yesterday looked as though activity
was about to commence again. At
the upper wharf, where the John

terday was the beginning Of what is
to take place the coming Fall and
Winter, and should it continue, dull
care can be early driven of.
