Low Water on the Ohio

LOUISVILLE, May 18.

The steam-ram Switzerland has got aground in the canal, preventing the passage of boats.

The steamer Glendale, with hospital stores, for Pittsburg Landing, was obliged to return to Cincinnati, as there are but two feet of water on the Falls.  The Franklin will care forward her stores.
