st. Louis Republican:
EDITOR OF REPUBLICAN; Sir-An article i:
now ahoat in the papers, purporting to come
through the Memphis channel, TO the effect
that the st amer k. j. Lockwood passed the
wreck of the Nick Wall without offering any
assistance. This is a lie made out of whole
cloth, and in justice to the officers of the boat
and to exonerate a profession we love from
| the charge Of inhumanity, we state that no
boat passed US without offering everything in
their power to alleviate our distress.

Loss OF THE JOHN KYLE.-By a dispatch
from New Orleans to Capt. Billy Dill, of the
st. Louis Packet Company, we learn that the
new steamer John Kyle, ran into a ship while
leaving New Orleans last night and sunk in
deep water. No particulars have yet been re-
ceiyed.
Regarding the situation at that port yester
day, the st. Louis Republican says:
Everything remains in sfdfH quo at this port.
The ice king still reigns. Men, women, chill
dren, horses and dogs cross ON the ice oppo-
site Carr street. The presumption is strong
that to-day heavy teams will be crossing al
that point. The Virgins ferry company had
three packets running in the open space below
the bridge piers all day yesterday Coal wag-
crossed over, and the Cairo Short Line is
taxed to its full capacity in transporting
freight for the packet companies, whose boats
come up to Cairo to receive il for transporta-
ton to the Southern cities.
Of the accident to the Tom Jasper the DEM
ocrat of the same date says:
person arrived from Liberty yesterday.
and reports her in a perilous condition. She
rests amidships upon a lump, or is aground
from the forward end of her boilers to a point
aft of her wheels, with eight feet water under
bow and stern, with the water running under
each end. The river is extremely low; and if |
as Is probable, the Jasper will be carried by |
rise, with the ice, there is great likelihood of
the boat and cargo suffering great damage. |
She has on board twenty head Of live stock. l
All her passengers got on shore on Tuesday
morning. Thirty inches Is reported as the 1
depth Of water in the channel at Liberty. |
The towbOat Shark, aground in the same /
vicinity, will also have to stay until relieved /
by rise. Her stern is so high that her wheel
lacks ten inches Of touching the water. Both
the Jasper and Shark are in the middle of the
river, and the ice piling up on them so that /
they cannot get ashore.

RIVER, BUSINESS, MISCELLANEOUS.
The river is declining three inches per day
at this port, and is now twenty eight feet ten
inches below high water mark of 1867. The
| decline at Cairo continues at the rate Of one
foot per day, with about nine feet of water in
| the shoal places to that point. Above there
six feet of water is reported to st. Louis. The
Ohio is falling at all points. as also is the Mis-
souri, and Upper Mississippi. The Arkansas
is falling all the way to Fort Smith. with no
immediate prospect Of rise. White river has
six feet to Devall's Bluff, and, like all the
other streams, is declining. The ice which
has been passing the city for several days is
rapidly thinning out, and to-day prospects
are fair for a resumption of navigation to
Cairo at least Several steamers arrived from
above and below during the night and Others
will arrive to-day. Business is moderately
active. The weather moderated during the
night, and to-day it is warm and pleasant.
There we're twenty boats at the landing at
