CONDITION OF THE RIVERS.
The river stood 16 feet 3 inches be.
low extreme high water to-day, and
was stationary. 1t is swelling slightly
at Cairo, and a considerable rise in
the Cumberland, with a probable swell
in the Tennessee, indicates hat the
waters will be rising here again within
a few days. Over an inch and a half
Of rain fell at Nashville last night.
1t will cause q ten foot rise, perhaps,
in the Tennessee aud Cumberland;
nothing, however, to give occasion for
alarm. At st. Louis yesterday the
water rose Z inches, with % feet 2
inches on the gauge. The upper Mis-
sissippi is booming high, and the Mis-
souri, has a 10 foot stage. The lower
Ohio is rising, with over II feet at
Evansville, and heavy rains in that
vicinity during last night. The upper
Ohio is in fair boating stage, the water
being from 3 to 10 feet deep between
Pittsburg and Cincinnati. There is
plenty of navigable water in all upper
rivers, though none are out of their
banks except the upper Mississippi, a
region that has suffered severe damage
by freshets, and injury to grain crops.
Arkansas river is almost dead low,
while White river has a fair packet
stage.
