CONDTTION On THE RIVERS.

CONDITION OF THE RIVERS.
The heavy rise now coming out Of
the Usage, GascoDade and other south
ern tributaries of the Missouri river
will be apt to cause a general breakup
at st. Louis within the next a hours,
as the river is now rising at that point.
Unless a good rise comes from those
tributaries above, there will not be
sufficient water for the ice to III out,
and, Of course, navigation above Cairo
will still be ob%structed. The Ohio
river is falling and filled with heavy
floating ice, with navigation suspend
ed at all points above Evansville. The
Cumberland md Tennessee rivers are
rising again, the waters of which will
soon check the decline at Cairo. Here
the river is falling at the rate Of a little
more than an inch an hour, and at
noon there was - feet 6 inches on the
gauge. Arkansas river, which has
been rising for the last few days, Is
now reported on a stand at Dardenelle,
though navigation is fully open to
Fort Smith. White river is also ris-
ing, with a good stage of water as high
up as JacksonpOrt.
