CONDITION OF THE RIVERS.
The river rose but very little yester-
day and probably may be found station-
ary. The total rise has been about 20j
feet up to last evening. The decline in
the Monongahela continues. At Cincin-
matt and Louisville the Ohio is gently fall
ing. AT Louisville there 10 feet in the
canal and I feet in the chute. The rise
in the river at Evansville continues.
Cumberland river is again rising, al
though at n slow rate.
The Mississippi continues on the decline
at st. Louis. A great many of our c,i-

by the high stage Of the Ohio.
