RIVER News. The Mississippi at
Hickman continues 10 rise, and for the
past few days has presented the ugliest
appearance for years. it's whole face being
blocked with surging masses of floating
ice, which has entirely Stopped naviga-
ton. Wednesday, and some the day be
fore, numbers of barses, fish boats. small
houses, e'c., went ltsniug by on its icy
bosom giving evidence of the tremen
dous wreck of boats in the river above
On yesterday, the ice wHs comparatively
cleared, and navigation resumed. The
Golden Crown and Shreveport. which had
sought protection in the Hickman har
hour. were enabled to steam away about
s - m from their ice imprisonment. Our
river men, now think, there will of ne
ceSsiiy. be an overflow, and authorize the
advice TO parties having stock in the bot
tom to get them out at once. The tele-
