THE RIVER,

Early last week when an overflow
seemed imminent and the alarm was a
its hight, we undertook to investigate
and see if the situation wal as critica
as most persons supposed. Everybody
was alarmed. The food threatened
planters on the river. Stesmb0stmea
who had hoped for heavy freights thi'
fall, and many Of our merchants who
had advanced money and supplies to
planters above and below, were particu.
larly and vitality interested. A large
scope of country was involved aud the
interests Of Memphis in close sympathy.
With a view to relieve, if possible, the
public anxiety and give our friends a
ray of hope, we gave the subject a care.
full examination and sought the opinions
of those best acquainted with the river.
Consulting the Signal Service reports,
we saw at one that the upper Mississippi
and Missouri we're low and not rising;
from here to the Gulf the Mississippi
was considerably below a point of dan
ger and all its tributaries from here down
we're quite low, which gave a free and
unobstructed current to the Gulf. The
Cumberland was falling rapidly, and from
private sources We learned that the Ten
nessee was comparatively low and fall
ing. The threatened food was coming
from Southwestern Missouri, Illinois, In
diana, Southwestern Ohio and a portion
Of Pennsylvania. Upon these facts the
LEDGER Of Tuesday last predicated an
assurance to its readers that there would
be a rise Of but a few inches here, and
gave our reasons for such an assumption,
which we're in direct conflict with the
prevailing opinion. Each day since has
confirmed our opinion as to the improb-
ability Of an extreme overflow as ex-
pressed in these columns. The rise
here has not been nine inches. Theriver
is stationary here to-day, viii probably
decline by this evening and is falling at
Cairo. The upper rivers are all falling,
as will be seen by our river reports, and
we feel assured thatin few daysthe river
will be confined within its banks. We
have carefully applied reason to the facts
known and tried to prevent unnecessary
alarm, rather than create a sensation.
We hope the damage already done is not
so serious as to amount to a public
calamity and that the people Of the bot.
toms were more frightened than hurt.

ST.. LOUIS, August 9.-The railroad
war between the St. Louis, Kansas City
and Northern and the Missouri Pacific
continues, and the Hannibal and st. Joe
road has entered the arena by reducing
fare to Chicago to Eve dollars and round
trip tickets to ten dollars, which has been
met by the st. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern and the Chicago and Alton.
1t is said the fight between the roads
will include freight rates.

dissatisfaction by the appointment Of
Gen. Bate. But while we claim this. we
do not wish ts be understood as oppos-
ing the efforts which we learn the friends
of Ex-Governor Harris, here and else
where, are making in his behalf to secure
the appointment. He is a citizen and
friend whom we esteem and honor, and
did we not believe that the succession
was of right belonging to W. B. Bate,
we would be among the foremost for
Isham G. Harris.

of interest added. and in addition has an OPP
