The above knocks all our calculations
in the head. At n stand on Saturday and
rising Sunday without any apparent
cause is simply a ridiculous freak which
the Father of Waters must not repeat if
he would not take rank with the Arkan-
sas, old Red, or the Missouri for acts of
folly and fickle-mindedness. The upper
streams are all falling. White is falling.
but the ever varying Arkansas IL again on
the rampage. IL had risen Z feet at Fort
smith when the Fort Gibson left there on
Friday last, so we learn from a dispatch
to Capt. Adams dated yesterday. Weather
clear. Business nix.
MISCELLANEOUS.
We enormously stated in our issue Of
yesterday that we would have no White
River boat until the latter part of the
week. We are informed by Capt. John d.
Adams that the Liberty No z will get
away for al ports or White river tO-mor-
row. Capt. Adams has been compelled to
place her in the trade in order to accom-
modate his patrons along White 5 river a.
well as to carry the L. ). Mail. No man
has lone so much ~ he has to facilitate
travel throughout our sister state. Al
ready his line Of Arkansas packets have
won a name never to be forgotten for
punctuality and accommodation. He al
ready has one packet on White river, and
the Liberty gives him a semi-weeky line
not surpassed by any packet line out Of
Memphis. Having lost al by the war he
deserves, and We rejoice in his success.
