~ THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The river has risen fifteen inches
during the past twenty-four hours, and
stands twenty-five feet eleven inches
above low water The signal kilograms
tabulated above show something of rise
at St. Paul and something Of swell in
the Ohio, that will, with the rain now
falling in The North, give us plenty of
water for month; more, perhaps, than
will be necessary for the business to be
done. The Arkansas has soant three
Fleet over the bars TO Little Rock, and
White river four feet TO Jacksonport. A
very heavy rain fell abort four o'clock
this morning that efiectually laid the
dust and made the landing about as
muddy as it was dusty yesterday.
