A steady rain commenced last night at dark,
which was very light at first but increased to
downright old-fashioned rain which has
filed all our cisterns and restored our streets
to the muddy condition Of two weeks ago.
The rain ceased about o'clock this morning,
and at II the sun struggled through the dense
clouds, giving promise Of a fine afternoon over
head.
Unusually deep SHOWS have fallen in the
south. The telegraph reports snow ct vicks-
burg folr feet deep and trains on the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad delayed six
hours near Tuscumbia Ala, by snow drifts
four feet deep, while the depth on levels was
two feet. This is the first time since railroads
commenced running in the south that they
were ever snow-bound in Alabama, and it il
probably the deepest snow which has ever
fallen in Mississippi.
The weather is mild at st. Louis, but cold
Mt Cincinnati and Pittsburg.
The Mississippi is falling at st. Louis.
The Ohio is rising rapidly at Louisville and
Cincinnati, with nine feet over the falls. 1t
is falling fast at Pittsburg, owing to the cold
weather, and only thirteen feet is now report
ed in the channel.
The Cumberland is rising ngain, with Is
feet on Harpeth Shoals.
Here the river has fallen three inches since
our last report, but the rise in the Cumber-
land will hold it in check until the Ohio rise,
now passing Cincinnati, can reach us We
will then probably have two or three feet
more water than at present, unless the Mis-
sissippi should rise in the interim.
The southern rivers and bayous are all in
fine boating stages, and likely to continue SO
for some time, as the recent SHOWS will not
remain long without thawing, in that lati-
tude.
Business has been good rs usual at our
wharves, except that boats are wanting TO
carry off the accumulation Of freight for
southern ports Many hundred tons are now
on the wharf-boats and in the warehouses
awaiting shipment to Memphis, yicksburg
and New Orleans r.B
