The St Louis Repgt6licd7t of the twen- I
I ty-fifth says: The reports from the up |
per Mississippi do not favor the belief
that there is to be much of rise in that |
stream. True, heavy rains have fallen |
4 throughout the northwest; at least, such |
are our reports. At Dubuque yesterday, |
the river had fallen about two il, mes
/ during term of foT.y-eight hours. le
river was rising at Keokuk. The Hi
nOis is still rising quite rapidly, indeeS. a
| flood is pouring out of that stream. The |
river at this port is still on the rise. The |
upper Missouri is reported to be booming |
again owing to heavy rains. The wealth |
er here is very warm; the mercury has /
! been steadily climbing up the tube /
for several days, and the prospect /
| for soule 'seOrchers' is excellent. /
| Business on the landing was rather /
/ dull there is no amount OF
activity in shipments, and steamboat
men are quite accommodating, There
was no rain yesterday, but the atmOs-
I phere was damp. We have received the
1 following note from the veteran steam.
I boatman, General Ranney, of the An.
| ell0r Line Company, of this city. The
! General says The Gem wharfbOat, OF
| the New Orleans line of steamers, il.
1855 or 1853 was high and dry near twO1
months at the foot of Market street,
and was flOated off the last of July by
! heavy rise in the Missouri. The river
I has been acting much the same way this
year. We understand that Captain J.
Ut. ParisOtt, of Nieksburg, is about to /
contract for lowwater packet, with /
! skeleton cabin, for the YazoO river trade
during low-water. Captain Thomas w. /
| Rea is back from Metropolis; the hull of
| the new boat was put in the water
Monday evening, and will draw
about thirty inches with her ma /
! chinery on board. She will be COM
4 pleted here in about two months. The 4
hull is two hundred feet long, forty-three
/ feet beam and six and half feet hold. |
Her machinery is: Cylinders, twenty
4 inches in. diameter, six feet stroke. Al |
lison and Rohan build the boilers, Rich
ards and Lawrim the cabin, John E. |
Oxley the copper work, P. P. ManiOn
/ the iron work and w. ThOrnburg the
painting. The boat is named the Belle
OF Shreveport, and another one will
shortly be contracted for, to be called
! the Belle of jefferson. Howard
Ranney was married Tuesday night
