General Remarks-The Weather-BusIness
Arrivals Yesterday Correspondence -
Departures to-day, etc.
The weather yesterday was warm, but consider.
ably cooler than the few preceding days, owing to
the prevalence of fine breeze and the intervention
of the clouds, which not only yelled the sun, but by
means of two or three copious discharges laid the
dust and rendered the day quite comfortable
On the levee the appearance of things was de-
cidedly dull. The departures we're few and the ar
rivals fewer The river continues to fall and will soon
find its average summer level. The Telegram for
Red river left last evening, with large trip having
to refuse freight before she lift. We learn that the
steamer Catahoua is about to lay up for the present.
The following is the log" of the steamer Era No.

We learn that the lower rivers were all falling at
last accounts. Our upper river exchanges having
failed us yesterday, we ask the indulgence of our
readers in not receiving the usual full reports from
above, as usual.
The following interesting letter from special cor.
respondent containing, as it does, large amount Of
interesting river news will trust, supply in some
part the deficiency:
New ALBANY, IND,
June 4, 1859. (
Friend Reporter promised to write you letter
from here occasionally and for fear that you might
think | had forgotten you, will do so now. Bnsi.
ness OF all kinds in our Hoosier city is dull in fact,
our merchants say they are doing next to nothing.
All the productions of the earth rapidly adyanc-
ing to maturity and in the golden hues of promise,
reflect the smile of Deity. Never did broad fields
exhibit the prospect of richer crop for fruit the
| trees will bear abundantly and our gardens crown
themselves with farer floral gems
Blind indeed must he be who sees not beauty and
benevoence in the perpetual miracle of growth, aud
in the annual production Of the flowers and fruits of
Eden.
In regard to our steamboat matters, we are sorry
to say they dull dstressngly dull at present. and
boats generally arrive and depart with slim trips.
There is very little freight here for shipment and
very little received, and while water in the channel
Is as scan as 1t Is at present, we cannot expect any
thing else. In the ditch at Louisville this morning
