The Cincinnati Gazette says: The re-
cent low water has exposed the bottom Of
the river 30 that work OF improvement
oil navigation may be intelligently prose
cuted hereafter. The swell that has lust
passed us, and which was first reported at
Wheeling nine days age, gave an oppor-
tunity TO make some observations that
will prove valuable hereafter. All con-
ditiOns were favorable for observing the
effect OF a rise from Wheeling down,
where no intermediate streams had added
volume TO the water. The rise at Wheel
ing amounted to 9 feet IL inches. This
increased the depth Of water at Pomeroy,

down to the mouth Of Kanawha the rise
amounted 10 8 feet Of water. At Hun
tington the rise was s feet 0 inches, with
