Business on the landing is dull

to nothing. The cotton is nearly

stands as follows: Senate-Radi-

Obituary.

Died, on the 10th instant, in this
,,oce. WILLIE BRADEN, infant
-, ofThos. n. and Mollie G. Bra
Ssn: aged 1 year, 9 months and l
day,
feather little form asleep,
And a little spirit gone;
rather little voice is hushed,
and little angel born.
r@a little feet are on their way
10 the home beyond the skies,
.ad oar hearts are like the void that comes
yTheu a strain of music dies"
~ The merry laugh and pratt
ting voice of little Willie is hush
ID in death, and he sleeps in the
SJent grave. Another little voice
has been added to the angelic
,ehoir-another little starry crown
shines amid the joyous throng.
He cheered the happy household,
hut for season as it were, and
ere the troubles and temptations
ofthis world had blighted his ten
der heart, his soul winged its
fight to the immortal shore. Weep
not for your darling boy, fond,
grief stricken parents-he is not
lost but only gone before.
Awriter beautifully says, "there
is nothing-no, nothing-beauti-
full and good that dies and is for
gotten.7 The prattling infant, dy-
ing in its cradle, will live again in
the better thoughts Of those who
loved it, and play its part though
its body moulder to dust in the
grave. There is not an angel add
ed to the hosts of Heaven but
does it's blessed work on earth in
those who loved it here. DEAD |!
Oh, if the good deeds of human
creatures could be traced to their
source, how beautiful would even
death appear! for how how much
charity, mercy and purified affec-
ton would be seen to have their
growth in dusty graves!

u From the South Western
of Wednesday 18th inst, we clip
the following items:
RIVER INTELLIGENCE. - The
weather for the past week, up to
Sunday night, was dry and pleas
ant, though rather too cool for
the season of the year. Sunday
night we had heavy wind and
rain storm, which lasted three or
four hours. Since then it has been
cloudy, raw, with an occasional
opening of the flood gates of heav-
en-. Yestesday and the day be-
fore, if not unreasonable, were
very unreasonable days and we
are not very anxious to see their
counterpart again very soon.
Since our last report the river
opposite this point has risen 2
feet, making the rise in all 10 feet
or within 81 feet of last rise. We
have had but one arrival from
above the raft during the past
week, though. as we write the
Gossamer is looked for every hour.
The Dixie came in from Fulton
last Saturday, three and a half
days out. AS she went up she
encountered a fall all the way
seven inches at the head of Long
prairie and three feet at Fulton.
Tuesday afternoon and night it
rained in torrents, and on Wednes-
day morning the river was again
on the rise at the rate of an inch
an hour. From the officers of the
Sharp, who left Jefferson on Sat
0rday last, we learn that the bay
gu was rising at the rate of an
inch an hour from backwater.
From passengers on the Sharp
We learn that the rains on the
upper river have been very heavy.
A gentleman from Cook county
states that he was three weeks
making the trip from that county
70 Jefferson, owing to high water
In the creeks and low places. He
states it rained for two weeks
necessarily, at times pouring down
ID perfect torrents. He predicts
an unprecedented overflow. We
are fearful that he will prove to
% q prophet or the son of one.

mons below here are already I'M
