MONDAY, September q, 1858.
Tie beginess transacted during the past week on
ne Feyee did not increase as much as we had hoped it
wvd, still some increases shown in the receipts Of
sse great staple over previous weeks--S3,sj4 bales
taa arrived being an increase of 459 bales over
sas previous weeks receipts. We think this week
win show marked increase Of business as several
mere boats will commence running in the lower river
Aade Inadditon 10 the list we gave this day week !
he new, swift and splendid passenger packet D. X
Carroll has entered the list us one. She saturday
sfterao0n to run in connection with the NateheA,
MD will follow after her, taking any and al cotton
she may not be able to carry Thus Capt Leathers,
M a Natehez is determined that bis friends shalI
ast be disappointed at any time in having thelr cot
aaa brought 10 market. The D. R. Carroll is tip
Ion cotton packet and was very popular last season
u Red river She will be COMMANDED IN her new
aads by her very efciehI Sid feliahe owner, Capt.
Rm KimbaI Her Office viii be occupied by our
clever young friend Felix Coiron. The Yazoo river
racket Alton Capt B. r. Powell viii also start out
sais week, having been thoroughly repaired.
The weather during the entire week has been clear
and warm. Our streets are very dusty, and little
ain would be very acceptable.
The repairs to the Leyee are progressing as fast as
soud be expected, aud we doubt not that our wharf
accommodations will soon be sufficient for our wants.
The work seems to he done in substantial manner
sad we believe twill last long time and thus prove
sat it is the cheapest plan to do it well at first
The river before the city continues to recede slowly
sad is now about IL feet below high water mark last
gear this time it was II feet inches below high water
mask, There has been slight rise reported about
BiCksburg, but at the same time it was falling at
Memphis and all the upper rivers are reported to be
E2I6ng. The Ohio ID dead low there s no doubt but
soon it will begin to SWELL and enable many boats
SOW nearly completed that stream-to come out
Slso the various Louisville packets and the great
Eclinse, now laid up. Within the next six weeks it
Is very likely all will commence running and then
