SPRING OPENING. – The ladies will be pleased to learn that Miss King will be ready to-morrow to exhibit her new supply of spring and summer bonnets. They are invited to call.
THE RIVER. – The river opposite continues to fall slowly. The Warsaw is the regular packet for St. Louis, and the Jonny Whipple for Davenport, this morning.
THE DES MOINES. – After the late heavy rains the Des Moines was rising again on Tuesday – over a foot at Des Moines and about six inches at Eddyville. The locks are still overflowed.
The K. Ft. D. M. & M. R. R. is repaid so that trains run through on time from end to end. Large freight trains come in daily.

Market Street Bridge
A portion of Market Street Bridge – perhaps one-third of it – was swept away night before last. The Bridge had stood up so well, that it began to be generally supposed that it would live through the flood. That part of it is a wreck. In brief time, the unremitting labor of months has been destroyed. The proprietor, Mr. WARNER, worked with an industry never excelled, to complete this structure, and fit it for the accommodation of the public. It is now in ruins.

Going Down
We have the happiness to announce to the world of mankind, that the Des Moines River commenced to recede slowly yesterday. Like the rebels at Pittsburgh, it has been contesting ever every inch of ground, making its assaults where the defenses of the people were weakest. It will take us about a week to recover the vantage ground lost during the watery invasion. It is a mater of public gratulation that we are coming out of the conflict without the loss of a man, woman, or child, albeit a vast amount of commissary stores and other property has been captured by the enemy. The last act of spoliation – the capture of a part of Market Street Bridge – was the most mischievous and wanton act of the enemy. It was a nocturnal theft for which there is no excuse of palliation of civilized warfare.
