WEATHER III RusiNRaa.

Weather cool and cloudy. HeavS'
rains yesterday extended throughout
the Southwest. The river here rose
three-fourths Of an inch since Sunday
morning, and is still rising slowly. At
Cairo the river is AZ feet 4 inches and
rising, with rain all day yesterday. At
St. Louis the river rose 3 feet yesterday,
and last night was rising at the rate of
2 inches per hour, with heavy rains and
all the upper streams rising. At Pitts
burg the river is rising. At Cincinnati
the river yesterday was rising at the
rate Of 2 inches per hour. At Louis
vile the river is rising, with l6 feet 6
inches in the canal. Cumberland river
is falling, with IL feet s inches on the
falls. Arkansas river is falling, with I
feet 8 inches in the channel at Little
Rock. White river is stationary, with a
good steamboat stage of water from
Jacksonport to the mouth.
MISCELLANEOUS.
We would advise the planters in the
bends TO prepare for a freshet, as the
advices to-day by telegraph indicate an
overflow. The upper rivers are rising
rapidly again, and from the outlook we
see no way of escaping an overflow, I'M
less the river should commence declin-
ing rapidly here.
Prospects of large yield of crops are
not so favorable as they were two weeks
since.
The damp and cold weather, with the
rain, is damaging the cotton crops.
The rivers above are still rising, and
there is much apprehension of an over
flow.
The Robert Mitchell, from New Or
leans, arrived at Louisville on Saturday.
She lays up for the present.
The Vint Shinkle, for Memphis, and
Shannon for New Orleans, left Cincin-
natl yesterday.
There are fears at St. Louis of a
freshet' as the rains of several days past
have extended along the upper rivers.
Yesterday, as we'll as to-day, it was
dull on the landing.
August, the longest month of the year
for steamboatmen, has come in under
u~nfavorable prospects for a good bust
ness the coming season.
The packets out Saturday evening had
fair trips.
The GAINESVILLE is being put in good
repair at Little Rock preparatory to re-
suming her regular trips this season in
the New Orleans and Arkansas river
trade.
The Phil Allin, Captain Stack Lee in
command, is the regular Monday mail
packet leaving this evening for Friar's
Point and the bends. Jimmy Thompson

 All lands hereafter forfeited to the state tor non payment of taxes will be advertised and offered at public sale before they can be dis posed of at private sale or become subject to donation.
 All sales of swamp lands here toforc made,, ,,n winch the fuii price was paid in swamp land scrip or United States currency, arc confirmed, whether such land has been approved to the state, and offered at public sale or not. The sales of all school lands made during the war are confirm ed, and the attorney general direc- ted to dismiss all suits for the recovery of the purchase money, where the same was paid during that period. Where no deeds were made, and evidence is pre- sented showing that the lands were paid for during that time, the auditor is directed to execute q deed to the same.
 Owners Of land forfeited to the state for the non payment of taxes, may redeem the same with in one year on the. payment of the taxes, penalty and cost due there on. Other purchasers are requir- ed to pay fifty cents per acre. The right of redemtion does not apply to the lands granted to the Northwestern railroad company.
 Parties who hold pre-emption on any of the swamp and overflow ed lands, which have not been patented by the general govern ment to the state, have the right to come forward and enter the same upon payment of the price fixed by law (s2 per acre), where upon a deed will be executed to said land relinquishing all title or claim of the state thereto. Where original papers have been lost or destroyed, oral proof may be made of the fact. Parties availing themselves of this right have no claim or demand on the state for purchase money should the general government fail to patent said land to the state.

After a lapse of five or six weeks since we received the sec ond number of the Indian Pro cress, we have received number three.
 It will be remembered there was an attempt made by the Creek Council to suppress the paper by conilscating the material and office at Muscogee. We are glad to know that the nefarions designs of the conspirators agalnsi a free press have failed and been thwartcd by the indomltable per severance of Boudinot. The paper will hereafter be published at Vinita and we wish It all abundant success.

ion of the contemptible portion of mankind, the making of whom God has left to the tailor. Let them pass their way, you and they have nothing in common. The tailor when hc made them made a mistake, and put their brains in their belly instead of their head; can such cattle as this effect you, you who are the benefactors of your race; you who make not only two blades of grass grow, where one only grew before, but make the woods fall before you, and where all was barrenness, now is fields of snowy cotton or yellow grain. Appreciate your calling and be men. Yours Truly,
 BAN DITTI.

Buck Thompson, the murder CT of Mrs. Stovcr, was publicly executed at Lewisburg on last Friday He seemed perfectly dead to all feelings of remorse for the dreadful crime he had com mitted, and met his terrible fate with that stolid indifference which so frequently has been man. ifested by condemned criminals of late years.

 Where is the Russellvillc DEMOCRAT? We have not seen our dear old friend in several weeks. We miss her. We hope she will not desert us.--Boone County Record.
 The DEMOCRAT is all right and is mailed regularly and punctu- ally every week to our esteemed contemporary. We arc at a loss to know why it does not reach its destination. The Record is gen erally about two weeks old when we get it, and we cannot but be- lleve that the management of the mail route from there to this place is great fraud. We regret that we have no more reliable and speedy communication with our Boone county neighbors, for We love to hear from them.
