...... Yesterday was hard on steamboats, !;
the wind blew a perfect gale during the en-
tire day, and it was with much difficulty
that boats made their landing. The waves
rolled tremendously. In the afternoon, a
rain came up which almost entirely suspend
ed operations on the levee, although in the
forenoon business was very brisk. The
river was rising slowly, with about 8 feet
out to Cairo. The Wabash was rising
slowly yesterday, and our Wabash men
seem to be in good spirits. The SitUer Wave
reports the river rising from Pittsburg
down. Freights are still plenty, but prices
are unchanged. Shippers are unwilling to
let their freights go forward, and boats re-
fuse to take less. Freights at Cairo are still
high, SIS cents being the ruling rates for
-four With fair offering, we quote as fol-
lows:

...'.Capt. Gus. Fowler returned from st.
Louis yesterday after an unsuccessful effort
to purchase steamer totake the place of the
.SiI0er Star in the Evansville and Paducah
trade. The Capt. had made up bis mind to
purchase the KeokaiE, favorite packet On
the upper Mississippi, but on his arrival at
st. Louis he found her too "fast," indeed,
we might say altogether ''too fast" for practi-
cal purposes at present, being frozen up in
Lake Pepin. We understand he goes to
Cincinnati to look after boat, and failing
to find one there to suit, he will imnedi-
ately order the construction of one at New
Albany, to be completed at an early day.
......The E. II Fdirchitd, from New Or
leans, came up yesterday, and discharged
40 bbls. of molasses, 20 hhds. sugar, and
considerable other freight. 10 backing out
from the landing, she came in against the
GSeeR0iIle, tearing that boat up considera-
bly,. She carried away a portion of her
hurricane deck, and all the starboard guards
and Sanctions on the boiler deck The
GreenCiue was receiving freight for Green
river at the time of the accident.
The steamer Lue Eaves, Capt Nc
Donald is the regular packet for South Car
rollton this evening. The Ea0es has estab-
lished her reputation for punctuality, and
passengers can rely on going through with
speed and safety. Shippers will find the ca
pacity of the EaOes, for carrying freight,
amply abundant for their wants. Recollect
she leaves at o'clock.
-..... On account of the heavy wind last
evening, the Done was unable to move
above the landing and pick up the freight
she has engaged for the Wabash. She was
therefore detained, and will leave at II
o'clock to-day. The Done is in charge of
clever and experienced boatmen, and we
commend them to our friends on the Wa
bash, which is to be her future field Of Ope-
rations.
1.-The Economy which passed up early
Yesterday morning had 900 bales of cot
ton for Cincinnati. This boat picked up u
snag at Island IA, in the Mississippi which
threw overheard four bales and slightly
damaged her stern. She entered protest at
Cairo.
.. The pilot of the !SilUer WdUe, which
was at our landing yesterday, and dis
charged large lot of freight, is deserving
of great credit for the judgment he dis
played in making his landing in the heavy
wind that prevailed. A more scientific and
beautiful landing was never made with a
steamboat.
The new steamer atlantic, just COM
pleted at New Albany, will be down to-
morrow. She is spoken of as the fastest of
the feet. This may be the case, and we
are willing to admit it for while, until
the Autocrat comes out, when the atlantic
may give up the horns.
1.-THE fiatboat of Messrs. Little & Err
vim got off on Thursday. 1t had on board
1900 bbls. of -four, and some anxiety was
felt for her safety, as the wind of yesterday
was very trying on ali kinds of water craft.
1.-THE fine steamer James Montgomery,
Capt J. B. Archer, will be here to-day, on
her way to New Orleans. Passengers and
shippers should recollect this as she is the
boat to do business with.
...... We learn that an appeal has been
taken against the late decision of the Glen
dy Burke case, but do not know whether it
will be entertained or not.
1.-THE Woodford was here on Thurs
day night, with full passenger list, and
considerable freight. She took from here
40 hhds. of tobacco, besides considerable
other freight.
....-. The hisn-headed kentucky is thC
is the boat to travel on, and passenger:
should not miss this opportunity.
...... The steamer Freestone has left the
Louisville and Carrolton trade. She got
load of flour at Madison for Pittsburg a
% cents per Dbl.
.--.. Homer is the name of a new boa
which arrived yesterday from Pitts6urg, il
charge of Capt. Hopkins, bound for New
Orleans.
The steamer AdUdnee, the sinking O
which in the Alabama river we have al
ready noticed, will, it is stated, prove a tota
loss.
We were informed by Capt. Num-
last evening, that the steamer PhitadeLphi
will be here in few days. He leaves 70
st. Louis this morning.
1.-THE Sci0to will be down this evenin
from Louisville. She goes to Henderson
and win go back to Louisville tomorrow
morning. Remember the SciOtO.
1890. We were mistaken about the Ka
SarchsS going to Cairo. She is due hel
