The decline at this point begins TO
diminish its gsit, as the lste swell in the
ONO runs past but this check will be
bat a momentary one; already it should
be falling sgAin at Cairo. Our tele-
graphic columns contain the latest sd-
vices from that point, as we'll as Others
along the Ohio and from st. Louis. The
Arkansas aud White Rivers are deciin-
ing, Or we're 81 lest report. The late
rains will, We have no doubt, cause an
other swell in both these streams. A
heavy rain fell nearly all day yes etday,
and the air is raw and chilly.
The st. Louis Republican OF Wednes-
day says: The river here continues to
fall, although very slowly. The decline
yesterday was about u inches. The
Illinois river is at good stage TO Peoria.
The Upper Mississippi river continues 60
swell slowly at Dubuque snd above.
Missouri river is stationary st LeXing-
ton ana Kansas City, and supposed to be
slightly rising above st. Joseph, to
Omaha and at Sioux City. Reports from

one seems to have any idea how the
advanced portion is progressing.
