Saturday mild and pleasant
Business was very brisk. The river was
rising rapidly at this point as well as at
Cincinnati and Louisville. There is an
abundance of freight waiting shipment and
more coming in from all quarters. We
quote as follows:
To New Orleans-Apples, 5Oc y Dbl; Tobacco, e.
y hid Flour, 40c IS bbi pound freights, 25c p
100 MS Eggs and Whisky 500 q Dbl. TO ST. Louis
Pound Ereights, 2Oc y 100 lbs. To Cincinnati
Pound freights (heavy), 15c = 100 lbs shipstuffs
and wheat, b sack, l5c.
For some time past, we have seen
statements in New Albany, Louisville and
Cincinnati papers, to the effect that the
packets now plying on the Wabash, are
reaping rich harvest. This is a mistake
which is calculated to deceive steamboat
men, and induce them to enter the trade
For the benefit of those whom it NAV con-
Germ, we will state that there is not bushel
of corn ON the river ready for shipment, nor
has barrel of pork been brought out of that
stream this season. The packets are doing
comparatively nothing. The Kate Sarehet,
J. II. Done, and Nove1ty, are lying up at
this place, on account of the scarcity of
freight, and the Ahda CdT0Line and GEN.
II. III. White, have laid up in that river for
the same reason. The Castle Garden has
abandoned the Wabash entirely. The Mary
Cook and Masonic Gem are the only boats
in the river that attempting to do any
thing, and it is their first trip. Experience
is dear school,"
THE Silver Star is the regular mail
and passenger packet for Paducah at noon
so-day. Those going South, should, by all
means take the STAR she is good boat
to travel on and has one of the most gen
tlemanly and courteous clerks on the river,
we have reference to Gus. Dusouchet
''''''Recollect the Carl goes to Memphis
to-day at II o'clock. This is a splendid
opportunity for shippers in that direction
THE HcLesldn and Glendale from
Memphis passed up about Q o'clock Satur-
day night on a race, the two boats left port
at the some time. The jfc LeIlan was about
10 minutes ahead when at this point Both
boats were tolerably warm and done some
good running. The Glendale went out of
sight in IA minutes from the time she left
the wharf-boat.
~ he denizens of Rat Row, in Cmcin-
natl, are fearful of being washed out by the
present rise in the river. The water is
within few feet of the curb, leaving only
a small space for the transaction of business
at the packet landing.
THE New Albany ferry dock broke
from its moorings on Thursday morning,
and tioated down the river considerable dis
lance with the ferry boats J. IT. Martin
