The weather yesterday was very disa-
oreeable and business on the levee was unu- ]
suaily dull Freight were scarce. The river
continues about the same as at last report,
although we confidently expect a rise before
long. The river below this point continues
to fall slowly, and the channel is completely
blocked by unfortunate boats. The Illinois
and Upper Mississippi has experienced no
improvement since our last advices. The
rise at Pittsburg, unless increased by a rise
from other tributaries lower down, cannot
very materially improve navigation below
the falls, or make over four feet water in the
channel. 1t win require at least week for
the rise to extend below the falls, though
rise may be reasonably expected from the
Kanaw ha and other tributaries.
The Enquirer of yesterday seems TO think
we did the Bumpers" of the j. III. Done
injustice in saying that they were unprinci-
pied If the reporter of the Enquirer will
take the trouble to enquire of reliable per-
sons, into the cause of our remarks, he will
be satisfied that we were correct. These
same men refused to work, as men should,
while they were at Scufetown, and the
reason was simply this, they were too well
treated. What we said in this connection
we reiterate, whether tits considered by the
Enquirer ga little ito steep or not. If
these men, sworn out wished to go up
town, why did they not make that wish
known, and not leave the boat perfectly
helpless? The reason they lid not was be-
cause they thought the boat could get no
other laborers, and We venture TO say they
would have remained up town until this
time, had they not discovered the new crew,
W hich had been obtained in their stead. at
work. AS to the men working until
o'clock ON Saturday night in water waist
deep, =" &c, it is simply false, as there was
no occasion for anything Of the kind. The
machinery which was taken from the wreck
was six feet under water, and if these men
were IN the water at work, they were in all
over, unless they are very tall set of indi-
viduals. -4H
This will give an impetus to the Pittsburg
wheel-barrow fleet, which has been tied up
n long while by low water. The rise, how
ever will be short one aud we anticipate
another spell of low water during October.

The feet little Alida passed here yester-
day, on her way 10 Cairo, with good trip.
She came through from Louisville without
weting spar. This is something every
boat cannot say. The 4add will be up
again on Monday morning, and again resume
her regular trips between this mort and
Cannelton. We hope she may meet with
that encouragement she so Justly merits
