ON the river to-day is very critical
From six o'clock last night until ten this
morning the river rose over an inch and
half and is now within less than hall
an inch of the spring flood. Between
ten and twelve O'Clock last night a vio>
lent wind and rain storm from the south
swept over this city, and this morning
another from the northwest crossed the
river q few miles below the city, and il
is feared the wind has carried the wktel
over some places which were within
fewjnches of being submerged. and has
also damaged the newly constructed
levees, as it is we'll known there is q
number of plantations above and below
here where the planters have for some
days been constantly watching to keep
passing boats from running in too close
and flooding them with the swell from
the boats, and these, it is feared, suf.
fered from the storm.
