Our dispatches give the latest news
from all sections. As usual, they will be
read with interest. We nave no later
news from the Arkansas. It is quite low
and barely admits of the passage of the
lightest boats to Little Rock, while above
shat point navigation is preesrious. Whit
river is falling rapidly, with six feet on
the bars below Jacksonport. AS yet the
packets rave experienced no trouble, but
pilots nave to watch sharp when going
over shOal places, to keep clear of the
woods. In Black river, below PocahOn-
tas, there is five feet. In Upper White
there is not more han twenty inches. 1t
will be seen that the river at this point
raised more rapidly in the last "A hour
han in the "A hours preceding. It ven
up six inches yesterday and but three
inches on Friday. 1t is running over the
banks at many places above here, and the
st. Francis river bottom is rapidly filling
up with water. Heavy rains fell yester-
day morning. Business on the levee was
not brisk, in consequence.
