1.-THE weather moderated considerably
yesterday, thawing up the snow and ice,
making the levee a most uuenviable place.
The river has risen, since Saturday night
fully four feet, and still rising rapidly. The
Upper Ohio is rising. The Wabash has
risen about seven or eight feet in the past
three days, making that stream easy of nav
igation. At Cincinnati the river rose on
Saturday night fully four feet, making quite
sixteen feet in the channel. The Lower
Mississippi is still rising, with plenty of
water for all character of boats Freights
are not so plenty, and prices are declinIdg.
We may quote the following as the ruling.

Capt. Dexters " EUdnSUiIIe Pony is
receiving freight and passengers at the foot
of Main street, and will leave for Cairo at

point of punctuality, safety and accommoda-
ton She has become a fixed fact all along
the lower Ohio, and may be termed Every
Bodys Favorite" She leaves punctually
at the honr, and passengers should get aboard

--.pCapt McDonald's favorite Lue EaUes
takes her departure for South Carrollton
and way places this evening. Passengers
and shippers should recollect this, as she is
known to be speedy and safe. Capt Nc
Donald commands, which makes trip de-
sirable.
THE John Refine and Tccumseh came
very near clearing up our levee on Sunday
night both taking considerable freight. The
Raile had considerable tobacco engaged,
which she could not take, owing 10 the
breaking of her freight holster.
1.-THE Enquirer of yesterday evening
has an article in relation 10 the unavoidable
detention of the SiLver Star, attributing
the cause of her detention to the burning
of her boilers. As the Eaquirer's circula-
ton is limited to a few, and its character
for veracity not very good, we suppose the
Stars reputation will not suffer materially.
The new steamer Cheney, built for
the Cairo and Columbus trade, came in col
lision with the Highfyer on Saturday, be-
low Cairo, by which the former boat was
considerably injured-so much so that she
will have TO go on the ways to repair.
Capt Mitchells neat little steamer
NoveEty came in yesterday morning from
Wabash. She is to have a new boiler to
take the place of the upright one which she
now possesses. When this is done, Capt
Mitchell will probably take her South, and
run her in one of the tributaries of the Mis-
.sissippi.
go. The old reliable Kate SGrchet took
her departure for Wabash last evening. The
Kate had a good trip of freight up and we
feel confident her merits will be bountifully
rewarded by our friends on the Wabash

1.-THE levee at New Orleans, opposite
the tobacco warehouses, in the Third dis
trict, has partially broken away, and two
entire wharves caved in. IL was the tow
boat landing, and had recently been re-
paired.

-..-.. The new Magnolia running between
Vicksburg and New Orleans, recently took
to the latter city 6,2OO bales of cotton-the
largest load ever carried there by one boat
Previous to that, the John SiHionds had ia
ken 8, GOA bales to New Orleans at one
time and when the feet is taken into con-
sideration that Viczsburg cotton weighs less
by 100 pounds to the bale than that shipped
at Memphis, the Magnolia hasn't much to
brag of.

Wheeler of the BO1cen for late Memphis and
Cairo papers.
...... The Mobile Advertiser says that the
steamer Fails City ran on pile of logs
above McDonads landing, in the fog, and
was compelled to throw over some 400 or
500 bales of cotton to save her from sink
ing.
