nag Yesterday turned out to be beauti-
full day. The sun shone brightly, and every
thing bore an animated appearance. Busl-
ness on the levee, after the departure OF our
local packets, became rather languid. There
is but little freight here at present. The
river is falling slowly at this point, with
three and half feet on Scuffietown. At
Caseyville and Cumberland, there are four
feet scant. The Lower Ohio is almost as
low now as it has been this season.
ESy Persons going up Green river, or
those having freight to ship, should recol-
lect that the Lue Faces takes her departure
at o'clock this afternoon. She is the most
punctual packet that ever navigated that
stream. Her commander, Capt. Mcdonald,
is deserving of liberal patronage and our
business men should encourage him and his
neat little packet.
The Charley BosCe1 is up for Cairo to-day
at l o'clock. This boat needs no recommend
alton, she has established herself here per-
manently, and has become the people, ia
vorite She is safe, speedy and reliable
Capt Dexter isin command with that gentle
manly and efficient clerk Capt. Markell, in
the office.
By Capt. James Cupples has taken COM
mand of the Maid of the MIST, which boat
will, hereafter, run in close connection with
theiE. & c. R. R. at this place, and at Hen
derson with stage coaches for all interior
towns in Kentucky. Capt. Cupples IS an
old and experienced steamboatmen, being
able to tell boat by her smoke distance of
FIVE miles.

land in consequence of low water. The

B9 The Nashville, Capt. P. G. o Riley's
new wharf-b Dat, has been safely fioated off
the sand bar opposite New Albany, and was

ESF The Chattanooga sunk on Thursday
last, about 10 miles below Pine Bluff, at
Emery's landing. She struck a snag while
backing out, tearing a hole in her larboard
bow, causing her to fill Immediately and
sink in four feet water. Her passengers
and freight were taken off by the Idac Pau.
a "a ES5r On Thursday night about 2 O'Clock,
the steamer Gladiator, bound from New Or
leans to st. Louis, ran snag, log, or
some other hidden obstruction, when oppo-
site quarantine, few miles below the city,
and it is thought broke about so timbers in
her hull. She shipped nearly three feet
water. r..4
h@T@ We notice lot of curious looking
individuals about the Castle Garden. They
look as though they were in some way in
terested in her welfare, and we believe they
are We should not be surprised if she had
N red flag, attached to canepole, floating
over her deserted looking deck before long.
n6FThe snags in the Lower Mississippi
are making their presence known in a man
ner not very pleasant to steamboats,, to say
the least of it, Scarcely boat bound up
or down the river that does not pick up one
of these ugly customers, the experiment re
sulting in more or less damage.
BagHThe Jno. II. Dickey, on her late

and blacksmith shop, and carried away II
portion of her larboard guard 1t also dam
aged her hull to some extent Almost twen-
" timbers were broken causing her to take
