The Cincinnati Enquirer of Friday
| srys: Captain George Vandergrift re-
| ceived telegram from Salt river to the
effect that the Tom Ress and bsrges were
/ in the hands of the United States mar
shal. The pretext for this was the sink
/ ing OF the barge Annie Beaver at New
| Orleans, which the Louisville under
writers claim was overloaded, and they
| thus seek to msks the boat pay for the
cargo of the barge. The Enterprise and
Globe companies of this city came for
ward promptly and paid their risks.
Captain V. has gone 70 Louisville to give
bond and release the Res and her barges.
The Republican of st. Louis, says:
'' The river here is rising, having rose
three inches yesterday. The river is still
full of floating ice, and the current on the
Illinois shore Is running at an average
of fifteen miles an hour. We have very
little to report concerning the river be-
low. Some of the boats that have been
ic9-boUnd between here and Cairo, have
started down for that point, while others
are waiting for the ice to run out. At
Ostro the river rose two feet yesterday.
At Vickshurg the river Is declining slow
lv. The Ohio is open from Louisville to
Evansville, with four feet in the canal,
two feet in the chute and falling at the
former port. There was little activity
on the landing yesterday, caused by the
loading of the Susie Silver for New Or
leans The weather is very warm, and will
probably cGuse the gorge on the west side,
shove the bridge, to open solnetime to
day, Thersis plenty Of business for steam
