With holy prayer.

A GOOD RISF.

A Half Million Bushels of Coal Shipped
Yesterday.
Last evenings Pittsburg Ledaer says:
Although all the streams at the Allegheny
headwaters are falling rapidly, the present
rain We are having will probably make an
other big rise, but this IL not at all needed
as the water is Just now at n first class
towboat stage. There wa a general hustle
all along the Monopgahela wharf this
morning, and as fast as the boats came in
they were loaded and again shipped.
Joseph Walton & Co. to-day sent the Joe
Nixon to Louisville with eight
barges and four boats. Faweett &
Co. sent the Acorn with one barge
and s boats to the same place. They also
ship the Bosz to-day from Louisville to
New Orleans, with 90 boats. lutte & Co.
send the steamer Twilight to Louisville
with @ boats and 3 barges. This is about
all that will get out to-day, as there are
very few boats in the harbor. A careful
estimate shows that to-day shipments from
this port will amount TO over e half
million bushels of coal. At noon the
marks at this point registered 8 feet 9
inches and rising. Reports from other
points are as follows: Oil City, 8 feet;
Wheeling 10 feet 3; Parker, s feet; Green's
boro, - feet Z; Rice's Landing, z feet 4;
