"Don't she go down beautifully said
a planting friend OF ours yesterday as hs
stood on the bluff, and could almost ses
the bank on the opposite side Of the river
creep into sight. "The bottom has
/ dropped out, and a week or two more a.
this rate will put Us beyond the reach Of
harm this season." We rejoicsd withhim
for rejoicing was plainly TO be seen in his
eye and in his tanners and why should
he not be glad? A Thousand acres, good
rich acres, called him master,
and from one end Of 10 to the other the
| pillow has traversed. Cotton and corn
have began to rear their yet tender beads
and an overflow would ruin all. All tho
upper streams are falling. The late swell
a. Pittsburg has ceased. Our dispatches
give the latest news, however, from all
ports. The Arkansas IL falling. with
about six feet to Little Rock The upper
Black and White rivers have recently
risen two or three feet, and navigation in
both streams is now good. The weather
Is clear and business rather dull on the
liver.
