reported quiet, with middlings at lie,

quoted dull, with middling uplands Sid

active, with middlinGs at lie. The
market here, under the influence of the
dullness and slight decline in Liverpool
and Eastern markets, was dull and mac.
tive. Holders were disposed to realize,
but were asking prices above buyers
views; prices declined from s(9fc, but
owing to the gloomy weather transac-

WEATHER AND BUSINESS.
Weather cool and cloudy. The river
here rose one and half inches in the
past twenty-four hours, and is now
eleven inches within high water mark of
1867. At Cairo the river rose yesterday
seven inches, and at St. Louis eleven
inches. The Missouri and upper Mis-
sissippi are still rising slowly. The
Ohio is falling from Pittsburg to Evans
vile; at the latter point it rose one inch
yesterday. At Paducah the lower Ohio
rose eighteen inches yesterday. Cum
berland and Tennessee rivers are falling.
Arkansas and White rivers continue at
high tide. The water in the bends south
Of here is spreading over the low lands
and OVERLOOKING the whole country ada
cent to the river. From the mouth Of Ar
kansas river to Vicksburg the river is
higher than it was in 1867. Business in
the bends is almost wholly suspended on
account of the overflow. The levee this
morning presented rather quiet sp-
pearance, with little movement in
freights.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The officers Of the A. J. White, up this
morning, report the levees at Friar
Point and DeSoto Front all o. X. Below
Friar's Point the water is over nearly
the whole country to New Orleans.
The planters and laborers along the
lower part Of Arkansas, White rivers and
the bends are on the point Of starvation.
The merchants have stopped or refuse
to furnish them supplies on credit
Stock and cattle, if not drowned IS
starving to death. Would it not be well
for the Chamber Of Commerce to send
ont one or two agents to the overhowed
country to report those who are in need
and worthy Of aid.

night for St. Louis. She put of here l2O

THE AMERICAN PILGRIM IN
RoME.-Our pious fellow citizens,
who started some time ago for the
shrines of Europe on a Mission of
devotion, have been received with
distinction in the Eternal City. and
have been specially complicated by
the Severe gu Pontitf. Cardinal
Borromeo decorated them with med
ais Communicative of their pilgrim
age, and His Holiness gave them as
ciceyOae his most eminent archie
ologIst and author. The long
mO)ted question of an American
cardinal now bids fair to assume ii
practical shape. The Pope can
hardly resist the arguments and en-
treaties of such a distinguished del
-gation of his children from the
great Republic, where the Catholic
Church is SO numerically strong and
ilffiuential.-N. Y. Herald.

Col. WILLIAM BRECK. of Madi-

Col. WILLIAM BRECK, of Madi-
son county, has been appointed
Chancellor of the District composed
of the counties of Madison, Leake,
and Alfalfa; and without any in
vidiOus comparison we feel COMPEL
ed to say that we do not see how q
better appointment could have been
made. Col. Brock is gentleman
of education, of polished manners,
and of clear, unclouded intellect,
just the man to be agreeable to the
bar, and to all others having inter
course with him either social OF
official. He is a man who was at
home gentleman, and when he
changed his place of residence and
came to live in Mississippi, he could
not change his NATURE and DISPOSE
ton. Together with these attrac-
tons personally. Col. Breck is "a man
of finished education, legal as well
as literary, having been for W ars a
lawyer of standing in New York
In short, we can with truth con
gratulate the entire people of this
District, on the appointment of q
man to so high an Office so thor
0ugbly fitted to dispense Justice and
Equity. Genl. Ames has done him
