ST. LOUIS. - The Democrat of
Sunday and Monday says
The river continues to rise steadily,
at the rate of nearly one foot per dag
Nine or ten feet water to Cairo no 3.
and the upper rivers have a sufficiently
OF water for heavily loaded steamers.
AT Dubuque the river Is clear. There
will be steamboat arrivals there In q
day or two. The entire upper Mis-
sissippi is swelling from st. Paul and
the head waters. The prospect is snow
for a swell of four or FIVE feet more.
Saturday night aud yesterday after
noon were stormy. The stiff Wiad
of the afternoon partially denuded the
sky of its clouds, and the warm rays
of the sun illuminated nature with
many golden tints. The river was
still rising; it never ceases rising now,
but will probably stop short of .
freshet. Navigation is practicable TO
Dubuque, with a high stage Of water,
the total rise at Burlington being SIX
feet. AtSt. Paul the ice is very rot
ten, and may at any moment breakup.
The Ida Rees will leave,to-mOrrOW tor
Benton, first boat of the season.
VIoKsBURG. - The Herald learns
that Captain j. G.. Benson, of the
steamer John kilgour, will have q
duplicate of the steamer Nachez, 90
command, this fall. She will Be
named Vicksburg, but will not ply la
the trade until the fall OF III, as per
terms Of agreement of the recent
compromise. As soon as she is com
pleted, she will be placed in the
Memphis and New Orleans trade,
where she will remain until the next
cotton season.
The Tines Of Monday evening
says:
The rain Of last week was general
along the Ohio aud tributaries, and a
rapid rise is the result. The river
was ascending the grade yesterday
and to day at so rapid a pace as to re-
quire the removal of considerable
freight last evening, which had been
discharged IN the morning.
The Chronicle says:
A heavy wind storm prevailed on
the river last night, and detained
most of the packets. The Annie
Laurie was compelled to lay at the
bank below Dover the entire night.
NEW ORLEANs.--The Times of
Friday says:
The weather, yesterday, was dark
and cloudy, and like that Of the pre-
vious day, a strong easterly breeze
prevailed. 1t blowed great guns up
to 3P. NJ, when a slow driZzliDg rain
set In and prevailed up to dark, al
which time appearances above we're
in favor of a damp night, which, no
doubt, followed.
Business on the landing was rather
dull for Thursday. There were not
many departures and but little freight
was shipped to the tributaries, while
freights for the West we're rather
scarce. The Robert H.. Lee, for
Louisville, and Magenta, for Mem
phis, had but medium trips.

GENERAL REMARKS.
Business for the past week has not been
as good as wss anticipated, and a general
downward tendency is to be noted.
Sugars, Coffee, Cotton Yarns, and Nails
have fallen of so that quotations are
lower, but although many other things
are not quoted lower, yet appearances
would indicate a general downward ten
dency.
The trade OF the past week was an Inn
provement over the previous one, and q
fair business was DONE. Prices rule steady
at the quotations.

The above announcement will be read with
emotions of sadness and regret by many of
the old citizens OF Memphis. where the larg-
er portion of the life of the deceased was
spent. To her, death came as a blessed re-
lease from the suffering incident to disease,
and admitted her into the enjoyment of
heavenly life, where there is no pains or
sorrow. Her kindness and sympathy where
ever she found suffering or sorrow, will new
er be forgotten by those who have known
her tender ministry in the hour of trial
In every relation in life, 1t may truly be said
of her, she was "one of the very best who
have ever walked the earth" The memory
of her pure, bIameless and useful life will be
cherished by her many friends, and should
be a sweet solace to those most near and dear,
to whom she devoted herself so tendefly and
unselhshly all her Hfe-the children Of her
household. That they may seek to reconcile
themselves to her death in that Christian
pirit which Influenced her through life, Is
he hope of a sym paJhizing Friend.

The news from Paris which we
publish this morning will strike every
lalr-minded man as anything but
credItable to Prussia. Starting out
IN this terrible war, that country pro-
tested that its only purpose was to Sc
cure a lasting peace and guarantees
from France that she would not
again be an aggressor upon the
peace Of Europe. The moderate Re-
Publieans of Paris, taking advantage
of this solemn avOWal, so soon as they
came into power, proposed to her an
armistice preliminary to peace. They
protested that the people of France
did not desire war, were forced into
it by the government Of the Empire,
and longed for peace. To that
end they were ready to make
terms, terms that would be at
once a guarantee for the future, with
out abridging the territorial rights Of
France or humiliating her people.
These terms have been proposed, and,
spurned by Prussia, the French Peo-
pie are forced to desperate measures.
More than ever will the proud but
unfortunate people Of France have the
sympathy of the civilized world, for
between the Prussians outside and the
red-handed Republican devils on the
inside OF their beleaguered towns,
they are in a fair way to 60 to the
wall. Without leaders, without or
ganization, anarchy, assassination and
robbery staring them in the face, it is
only a question of few days, and
Prussia will be able to enforce the
rObber-hke terms she offers to-day.
We hope in the magnanimity of the
neutral powers of Europe, and look
for a generous interference from them
in behalf of France. They cannot
without uneasiness witness her parti-
tiOn.
