From tho Louiavillo Courier journal 18th inst
The river IL getting low now. II Is
more than probable that, If it gets very
low soon, the new lee will be taken to
Cairo To be completed. The little wet
enders are waiting patiently to get II
chance TO rum and the time Is not far
of
Whom little bonis may venture moro.

cabin together or separate Of the old
steamboat II, T.. Lee Is for sale, Ms it now
lies ut New Albany.

The river situation does not look any
thing like SO threatening now rs it did
the early part OF last week, and plant
crs in the valley above and below us are
beginning to feel n new hope and u
stronger encouragement. If we could
only have u few feet decline down this |
way things would look much more
pleasant.
Dom Pedro, the Brazilian Emperor,
is to make the trip from st. Louis to
New Orleans on the Grand Republic, /
and he will probably occupy the same
statcroom that was provided for Col. ..
v Shingledccker on the occasion OF that
distinguished individuals trip to the
ietties. Capt. Thorwegan will want to
do the clean thing by the Emperor, es-
pecially as the old fellow is said TO be
quite liberal. 1t is probable that when I
the cost Of occupying such an apart /
ment is made known to old Sancho I
Pedro he will exclaim, as Col. O. v /
Shearer did Well, it comes high, but /
| must have it."
Like Banquo's ghost, the river will |
