The lowIanders between Cairo and
Memphis are submerged, and their
crops effe ctualiy ruined.
In 1863 the Ohio river was 1ifty-seyen
feet above low-wateT mark. Yesterday
it was fity-fye feet five inches.
The Grand Tower, for St. Louis, and
the Julia, for Vicksburg, are Inc Anchor
Liners leaving the elevator this even
ing.
Or associated press dispatches yester-
day report the river falling at CinCinna-
ii. This looks like the long lane is max
ing It's turn.
The river Is rising at the rate Of about
three inches per day. Above We print
the official table OF the signal service
bureau giving the stage Of water anu
rise during the past twenty-fou~ nouns.
We give place 10 a communication
from 3 correspondent on board the
steamer James d. Parker, containing 8
series OF resolutions adopted by her pas
sengeT5 IN respect to the memory OF the
late Andrew Johnson.
The Fort Gibson IS at Glenn's wharf
boat, receiving for hsr return to Little
Rock and all points on Arkansas river.
Captain Rowland will give personal at
tentiOn and dispatch promptly all BUSH
ness entrusted to the Gibson.
That Paducah rise of ten and q hSif
feet reported Thursday WAS generally
discussed, and created considerable anX-
iety yesterday. These familiar with
PadUc2h and its surroundings did not
hesitate to pronounce it q false report.
The Ruth rides at anchor against
Glenn's WhSriO0at, receiving for her de-
parture up White river and its tributa-
ries at the usual hour this evening. The
Ruth is an immense carrier for her
inches, and her C8bin accommodations
are excellent.
Every time the Mississippi gets on
bender few people imagine that Mem
phis is going to be swallowed up by
HstChie lake, q few miles above here.
Such has teen the custom for the past
thirty or forty years, ana Hatchie lake
remains Just where Il was years ago
ST. Francis river is crawling up in the
effort to keep company with the other
streams. She receives her stimulus
from the overflow from the Mississippi
above Madrid bend, where the water is
reported rushing through the "Sunk
LanGn district with tremendous current.
Several persons attempted to time"
the Illinois yesterday evening, between
here and the point below, some declar-
ing that she was out Of sight in six and
hall and Others in six and three-quar-
ter minutes-each swearing by his time
piece. Several bets are pending as 10
the time, but we have not heard how it
is going to be decided.
The G. W. Cheek pulls out for Nsp0-
leon this evening. Captain Green, ap-
preciating the anxiety among the plan
ters below here, will delay the depaT-
tuIe Of the Cheek an hour, 50 as to get
the latest Tep0rts Issued especially from
the signal service bure2u and kindly
furnished 10y Sergeant Ludwig, in
charge OF the department.
The reported ten and 8 half feet rise
at Pa!ucah Thursday proves mistake,
growing out OF the fact that Paducah
being only temporary station in the
Signal service, the man in charge is q
volunteer, ana consequently not an fat
in the details OF the bureau. Our conf
dsnce ia the Signal Service bureau is
not at all shaken by The mistat5meGt, SIS
accidents viii happen, etc.
The Ruth arrived out Of White river
yesterday evening. Her debut in that
trade created quite & sensation at all the
landings, and Captain Harry is now
conspicuous 90 the coming man for gov
eruOr Of Arkansas, Ia which event Cap
tain Postal will take command of the
Ruth, with the popular Ed Crowell first
in the business department. We will be
private secretary TO the governor. The
first thing on the programme then will
be q liberal subsidy to all legitimate
steamboat enterprises.

have been progressing rapidly under the
