RIVER INTELLIGENCE.
lie, Fort Gibson,



The river continues to decline slowly,
and is now II foot nine inches above
low water mark, with a channel depth
of full six and a half feet over Reeves
and other lower crossings, and six feet
owe the shoals above, with the channel
cutting out in both directions, but vet
very narrow. There is about five and a
half feet above Cairo, and in the upper
Mississippi the water is low and nayiga-
ton difficult. The Missouri is in a bad
condition, and no immediate indications
of much improvement. The Arkansas,
White, Ouachita and all lower ~afiuents
are getting no better fast; the former
marks eighteen inches over Rob Roy
and Fourche, and White river has thirty
inches to ~JacksOnpOrt. The weather yes
terday was dark and gloomy, with a
strong nOrthwester during the early part
of the day, and later a few drops of rain
fell.
A fair amount of business was done
at the landing yesterday. Included in
the arrivals the White brought from
Napoleon four hundred and forty-three
bales of cotton and seven hundred and
eighty-nine sacks of seed, and the Fort
Gibson, from the Arkansas, had two
hundred and forty-seven bales Of cotton,
and reshipped one hundred and sixty
eight bales at the mouth of White river
for New Orleans. The Joe Kinney, from
st. Louis, came down early, putting out
but a few packages here, and had nearly
five hundred tons for points between
here and Vicksburg. The Pauline Car
roll, with two barges in tow, passed up
in the morning, doing but little here.
and had but little freight for st. Louis.
The Capital City came up from Vicks-
burg with forty-seven bales of cotton
and four hundred sacks Of seed. but had
scarcely anything for st. Louis. The
MOllie Moore passed down at noon with
out landing, only sending her pilots
ashore to get thestage of water, and later
she was reported aground at Reeves.
The local packets going out had but
moderate trips.
