CONDITION OF THE RIVERS.
The decline in the river at this place is
slow and steady. No change has taken
place in the Ohio river above here, and
all the packets are detained by the said
bars, and the shallow condition Of the
channel Henderson's bar has given boats
mole trouble this season than any other
bar in the Ohio river. At present there is
only twenty-five inches Of water in the
crossing. Much complaint is being made
of the condition Of the muddy Mississippi.
Tho water on the bars and crossings is
getting very low, and boats can only bring
out light trips. Below here 6l fee. is re-
