oA-.... Yesterday was smoky and the wind
was in the south, with indications of rain.
The river was rising rapidly during the day,
having risen 2 feet in the last "a hours. At
Pittsburg, last night, there was seven feet by
the pier mark and about stationary. AT
Cincinnati yesterday, there was a rise of four
teen inches and it was still rising last night
Our despatch from Louisville is rather I'M
adorable, as it reports a decline. We may
now confidently exepct large feet of New
Orleans boats from above whose presence
would be of great Importance to shippers
alongfhe Ohio river. The rise has caused q
slight decline in the rates Of freight, which
wequote as follows: :
To New oreans-Apples, 81 ,00g Dbl; Tobao--
y hid; Flour, soc D bbi pound fregats. =

not mention at present, makes his remarks
rather too free, and we would inform him
that if he has been so sorely agrieved, the
more honorable and gentlemanly way
would be to come to us with his abuse. 1t
seems that we cannot spenk of that old
wharf-bort without hearing, through sec
Ond or third party, froa-[ this tall and dis
tnguished mugeins. wrod to the wise &c.
80. The Kate Sarctet, with Capt John
McLain in command takes her departure
to-day at l o'clock for Cairo and all way
places. She is good boat and is prepared
to accommodate passengers and shippers,
who will find everything necessary for COM
fort and convenience. Her clerks, Messrs.
Dusouchet and Boicourt, are gentlemen of
superior merit and acknowledged ability
She is emphatically an Evansville boat and
we wish her abundant success and hope she
may receive the support of shippers at this
point.
l..... The Wabash was rising at Mt Car
mel yesterday, having risen in all, one
foot. Patoka was pouring out largo body
of water, and hopes are entertained of

stream. FnE f1H5 tuI

are repaired II is stated on good authority
that she viii take load TO New Orleans
direct, and viii remain in that region to try
her luck in some of the small tributaries of
the Mississippi
In pulling the j. II. Done out on
the ways at Mound City, one of the cradles
ran off and she was compelled to raise
steam aud 60 to Paducah, where she will
remain GA the ways until tomorrow. She
will probably not be here till Saturday.

hard aground at Slim Island, but the pres
ent rise will let her off -

called the Cotton Plant, was at our wharf
