CONDITION OF THE RIVERS.
During the "a hours ending at noon
to-day the river at this point rose 2
feet Z inches, with q feet 5 inches on
the gauge, being s feet 5 inches below
extreme high water mark. As the
upper Ohio and upper Mississippi, to-
getber with the Cumberland, Tennes-
see and other side streams, are falling,
it is probable that we will not get
more than 5 or 6 feet of water from
/ the present rise thus all fears Of an
overflow should be given up for the
present. The Ohio, at Pittsburg,
fell 5 feet 3 inches, with IL feet 5
inches on the gauge. At Cincin-
natl it rose 3 feet 5 inches, with
so feet on the gauge. At Louis.
vile it rose 2 feet, with 20 feet in
the canal. At Evansville it is rising,
with 80 feet 5 inches on the gauge.
At Cairo it rose7 inches, with 30 feet
inches on the gauge. The Missis-
sippi at St. Louis fell II inches, with ID
feet 4 inches on the gauge. The Cum

With l3 feet on the shoals. Arkansas
