FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
We have nothing favorable from above the
raft. Captain 10. L. Bryarly arrived here
yesterday from Rowland, on the upper river,
per rail. There was 10 water in the river to
brag of when he left home We got nothing
from Fulton yesterday. Before the water was

Late Tuesday night the steamer w. J. Be
han came in from the city with very heavy
load, most of it being for the railroad 1t
was the largest load Of railroad freight landed
here this season. She had not got through
discherging last night at dark.
The John Howard had the New Orleans
trade all to herself, and did very well in the
way of receiving cotton. She broke on some
lots she could not finish, and was forced to
lay over until to-day. She will get off this
morning with about 1000 bales Shreuepo,t
Times, Jan. 90.
The last packet up found plenty of water on
the bars without sounding it. The large
packets have got SO they know the route right
we'll when the fog is not too thick.
The bayou, at Jefferson, is slightly on the
rise again. The last packet OUT found five
feet in the cut road and falling. 1t must be
on the rise again by this time. If not, it soon
will be. Jimp., of course, is happy. 1t is
strange infatuation thai has befallen the
Jimp.-this water question. Would think it |
would be afraid of the ''fobia."
Our Fulton correspondent, under date of |
the 9th, reports the river there on stand |
and very low. Heavy rains had fallen and |
rise was impending. Yesterday Mr. A. Gil
ham received dispatch one day later from
Fulton stating that the river had risen two |
feet the night previous. We should judge
from the lights before us that we were in for
another upper Red River rise.
The John Howard pulled for all the cotton
in sight when the rain held up SO that the
people could see what they were about. 1t
but by dark the captain could count up 1900
bales and 1900 packages of oil cake. She had
engagements for 800 bales below. She got off
for the city early in the night.
Up freights are half card rates. Cotton
down 81 2591 so per bale. Shreveport Times,
Jan. 80.
A big swell is coming down the river, and
We may look for q rise Of several feet here
next week. The Cumberland rose little
over twenty feet in forty-eight hours at Nash
nile, and other tributaries of the Ohio almost
Is rapidly. The Arkansas and White rivers
and the immediate tributaries are also rising,
and navigation is again good in all directions,
except in the Mississippi above Cairo, where
The ice blockade still holds firm. The weather
yesterday was clear and pleasant, and business

At this point the river is rising, the Signal
Service Observer reporting eleven inches in
he past twenty-four hours, giving here six
eet three inches above low water. Cumber-
and and Tennessee rivers are rapidly ap-
preaching high-tide. In the Ohio a rise is
exported at Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Louisville
md Cairo, with plenty Of water to float out
he ice gorges that have SO long closed that
liver to navigation. White and Arkansas
ivers continue to rise, and plenty Of water is
exported in those streams for present uses.- I
