CONDITION or THE RIVERS.
The Arst ice of the season made is ap-
pearsnce in the Mississippi and Ohio riv-
or, at this place yesterday morning. That
in the Mississippi river was floating pas.
in large fields, but was not very heavy,
and ths ice in Ohio WAS confined to the
shore. 1t is spprshended tina, navigation
has been suspended between here and St
Louis for the winter. There i. scant foul
feet at Devils island, and it is possible
there will be but three feet there in q
shor. time. The water between here snC
Louisville is getting down low, there il
only four feet at Henderson bar and th'
river is falling steadily all the way to it
mouth. This season promise, to be are
marksble one for low. water and ice. Low
water is certainly the bans Of steam
bostrnsns life. Thers 10 but Xix feet be
| tween here and Memphis, and Poin
Pleassn. is the most troublesome place.
