''.'.- Yesterday was another very busy day
on the landing and things looked more than
usually lively. The river is slowly receding
here as we'll as at All points above. The Wa
bash river had fallen eight inches at Vim
cennes up to 10 o'clock yesterday. We have
nothing new from the Upper Mississippi OF
Illinois. The Cumberland and Tennessee
rivers are still rising. At Nashville the for
mer had risen in all about 46 feet, and an
other rise was expected on top of that, which
will, no doubt cause considerable flood,
which the Nashville Gazette thinks may
equal that of 1s47. With fair offerings we
quote freights as follows:
To New orleans-Apples, 40c . bbl Tobacco, 81
y hid; Flour, 4Oc Tj Dbl; whisky, Coo d Dbl; beef
and pork, Coo T Dbl; pound freghtS, 25c q 100 lbs
st. Louis-Pound Freights, 2Oc d 100 lbs. To Gin
cinnati-Pound freights Qis:'yy), l5c y 100 lbs;
shipstuffs and wheat, D sack, l5c- w
'.'.'-A very provoking and absurd error
occurred in yesterday mornings issue, in
which the composition made us cay
there were 5, 900 tons OF freight awaiting
shipment" We wrote 1900 tons, which
was the case. Such errors are very annoy
ing, more especially, when they occur
through carelessness.

tions to Capt lack Taylor of the SiiUer
Star; .Alf Edwards of the Umon; Mr..
Landrum of the Peytona; Mr.. Newman of
