The James W. Calf returned to
Cincinnati last night with 800 bales
cotton, 40 bales rags, 200 bbls oil, $50
tons railroad iron and fair trip of
people. In coming out of the Ohio,
and when about eighteen miles of Pa
ducah she encountered severe storm,
which shook her up considerably.
The waves rushed over her lower deck
to depth of 2 feet, her chimneys were
blown down and chairs on the boiler
deck were blown wildly about, several
Of them going overheard. The Gaff,
being staunch vessel, stood the storm
pretty we'll, sustaining but little dam
age outside the loss of her chimneys.
The Ohio is still rising at all points
from Pittsburg to Cairo. The Cum.
berland is falling again, as is also the
Mississippi at st. Louis, but the Ten
nessee continues to rise. Here the
river is falling, but will be rising
again shortly, and it is to be hoped
the water will decline foot or two at
least before the rises from above
reaches here. Planters and others
living along the valleys below here
should keep themselves posted in re-
gard to the water at present, SO that
in case there is another overflow
(Which now looks very probable) they
will be able to remove their stock to
higher ground, so that the loss will
not be very great.
