River News.

The river, since our last, has been
alternately rising and falling, with a
final steady decline since Monday of s
inches every "a hours, and stage of
water now of AZ feet above low-water
mark. The indications are, however,
decidedly juicy and point to Il rise.
The Pagan arrived from New Or
fair trip of freight, nearly all of which
she discharged at this place, proceeded
to Trenton, and left ON her return at
p. M, the same day, adding 42 bales
of cotton here. She'll drop her anchor
off the wharfboat tomorrow, as usual.
We met Capt. j. NJ. Rabun, Monday,
pirouetting around on shore, and he
Informed us that 81. 600 had been offer
ed for the wharfboat Katie, but the
offer had been rejected. He also in
formed us that the construction of the
new elevator will shortly be begun.
The U. s. snagboat o. G. Wagner
landed here OH her annual autumn
cruise on Saturday, remained here un-
til Monday, and went below. She re-
turned, however, Wednesday night for
repairs. Capt. White is in command
Capt. Pres. Lindsay runs the pilot
house. He reports having removed a
large number of stumps and logs in the
river in the vicinity of Cuba; but
in the attempt to pun up the stump
tackled last, some of the iron works of
the pulling apparatus gave way, which
necessitated a return to this point. Not
finding piece of iron here to replace
that broken, the commander has gone
to Vicksburg to obtain it.
To which we may add-the fore
going having been prepared for last
weeks paper-that the iron wanted
was received from Vicksburg Monday,
when the Wagner weighed anchor and
sailed for Catahoula shoals.
The Little Bob returned from above
Tuesday, having gone no higher than
Eldorado landing. Capt. Breard re-
ports or'y 2 feet water on Franklin
shoals. Six bales comprised the Bob's
cargo, the farmers up that way not
having much cotton ready for market.

The Railroad Bridge.

The continuous rains interfere seri-
ously with the work OF moulding
brick for the bridge piers of the rail
road bridge, and the two millions of
bricks needed are consequently ac-
cumulating slowly. The completion
of the sub-structure this season will
greatly depend upon the character of
the weather. There is no lack of
funds, we are informed. The iron
superstructure is now being prepared
at the Edgemoor Works, near Will
mington, Delaware. Hands are en-
ployed preparing the long spiles, OF
which there is a large number near the
Elevator.
