The weather, yesterday, was cloudy and
damp, with occasional showers of rain.
We notice that it continues gloomy all the
way up. The Commercials special dis
patches speak of nothing but rain at all
points above Cincinnati.
The river continues to recede here, though
it is on the rise at Pittsburg and Wheeling.
The quantity of rain that has fallen in the
last few days must cause the river to swell
again. s-t u0 s
Considerable freight is on our landing
awaiting shipments, though prices rule low
The Antelope was to leave Louisville
yesterday. The Antelope and Montgomery
had quite racing time going up, and the
same thing will be repeated, we presume,
on the downward trip.
Our regular packets the Charley Bowen
and Silver Star, will be up to-day, and both
leave again dI U ClOCh AS TcSdEdS CIOOS-
ing between them, one would be in as bad a
fix as the Irishman seated between two
charmers, who was asked to tell on which
side his heart was. We can only say, if
you take passage on either one, you will not
wish you had taken the other.
The splendid Cincinnati and Memphis
packet, Memphis, will pass down to-day for
the latter port. The Memphis has splendid
III. D.l1 Il,

to leave New Orleans on Wednesday even
ing for Louisville.
The James Montgomery left Louisville
yesterday, and will be down to-day. !
The new steamer Trio was to leave Louis
vile yesterday, and will probably be down
to-day. 's+so
The R. J. Ward passed down yesterday
loaded to the guards. 1t took long time
for the huge thing, to get fairly stationed
alongside of the wharf-boat. ...l
The Cincinnati Commercial and Louisville
Democrat both say the shrill whistle of
steamboat awoke the slumbering echoes of
Aberdeen, on the Yazoo, Miss, on the 18th
inst for the first time this season. Where
abouts on the Yazoo is that Aberdeen We
are curious to know. .=.i .l5.-.
Several of our Green River packets were in
port yesterday. The Greehville reports
that Green River is falling and that freight
is exceedingly scarce. We presume this
will be the case for few days until the new
crop of tobacco begins to come, when the !
boats will be crowded continually.
The Kate Sarchet left for the Wabash |
yesterday evening. ua t 4
INTERCHANGEABLE J. C.. Fremont left |
Cincinnati for New Orleans yesterday. She

called the Grand Duke, is now being built |
at Louisville for Capt. Apologize, and is to
be ready to start South by the 1st of Feb
ruarv. She is to have magnificent cabin,
with the richest outfit of the season, in /
GLIDING velvet carpets along its entire |
length. She has six of the largest and |
heaviest boilers on the river, and with her
easy model, huge water wheel, and 81 inch
cylinders, she will walk the waters like |
streak of lightning ..... The Louisville |
Courier says there was rumor in New Al
hany on Tuesday night that the E. H. Fair
child had been burnt just above New Or
leans. She left the latter city on Monday.
