FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
From the St. Louis Democrat, May 18th
1.-The mixed weather continues -no telling
whether umbrellas will be mp or down to-day.
The river was stationary here up 10 P. NJ, but
many DAYS cannot elapse without some feet of
; rise. The rain has been general. There IS deep
river to St. Paul, and the rise has been steady De

| down the Desmoines became great Hood, and
threatened extensive damage. The Illinois has
swollen TO huge dimensions, inundating extensive

Mississippi and the Missouri become low, there
will be no cessation in the fight for business, alC
rates of freight will continue az low ngures."
