RIVER MATTERS.
wEATHEa AND RIyEks

GAS WORKS, April Is, 1869.
River rose 81 inches in past "a hours.
Below high. alter mark l cot 5 inches.
CHAS. GOOD I
The river at this point is inca higher
than when il came to q stand on Thurs
day, the 18Th inst, or, in other words, is
! inch higher than the last rise. Il is
going up less rapidly, and We think wiz
act attain more than 5 inches more. @
course all our predictions about the water
are based upon ordinary weather, and
not upon interminable rains such as have
prevailed. The upper stream are all
falling. The Tennessee and Cumberland
ere running on even faster than thew
rose. The Ohio is falling its entire
length. The Mississippi at st. Louis
falls rapidly, and by d y after tomorrow
we will be able to report a fall here.
The Arkansas is rising and White is
falling. From nearly all directions we
hear Of falling rivers.
We give full mail news below, but re-
fer q readers to our midnight dispatches
in our telegraphic columns for the latest
news from all quarters.
The Nashville B1nneT Of Tuesday
says: The Cu5merlsnd river at this point
Yesterday evening was declining, there
remaining but sixteen feet on the shoals.
The st. Louis Democrat, OF the 27th,
ssys: 1.-THE river is seldom seen to fall
at this point as it is now falling, although
some Of the upper rivsTS are reported still
on the rise. Omaha packets have lately
had to tighten over bars above ST. Joseph.
The weather is beautiful as weather can
be, but at this season any sudden change
excites little remark"
At Omaha the Missouri was stationary
on thu SO n At GanHfnlG anal hanb =
was also on s stand. The Mississippi at
Dubuque on the 26 b rose four incs es. AT
Quincy on the same day it rose three
aGd q half inches.
