ny The weather yesterday was very
pleasant, and everything looked charmingly
beautiful. The river is again very low, and
falling rapidly. Boats are reported aground
all along the river from Louisville to Cairo.
At Cumberland, there is but four feet of
water, and our packets experience much
difficulty in making their trips with any
kind of loads. The Chancellor, among other
boats, is hard aground at Caseyville. Bus
iness on the leyee was more than usually
brisk, and considerable freight is here await
ing shipment at considerable advanced pri-
ces. We confidently look for the entire
withdrawal of the large class boats again,
and their places filled with the wheel-bar-
row crafts. The following may be taken as
the prices of freights:

s6s- The old established and reliable
CharIey Bopen takes her departure for Cairo
to-day mt l o'clock precisely. She is the
boat to travel on. None excel her in speed,
safety, or accommodation. Capt. Dexter, in
command. is sufficient guarantee that she
will go through. To passengers and ship
pers, we would say that the Office OF the
Charley Boren is graced by Capt Markell
and our old and tried friend, Capt. lack
Taylor Under their charge business will
be done with promptness and accuracy, and
their companionship will add greatly To the
pleasures of trip on this superb steamer.
We have known Capt. Taylor long aud well,
and can recommend him as one among the
honest, upright, and gentlemanly. NocO
plant can ever be reasonably made while
these gentlemen ofiiciate.
DHrThe j. II. Done arrived at this point
ON Sunday morning, having made the best
time of the season. She is TO undergo some
repairs, and viii not leave for Cairo until
Thursday. She wilt 60 to Newbnrgll, aud
receive freight that has accumulated at that
place during the past week, Due notice Of
her departure will be given.
go5-The Aida has given mp the Camel
ton trade in disgust. She has labored I'M
csasingly to build up trade, which has
proved fruitless, and she has retired to seek
a more profitable sphere For punctuality,
the Alidd had no equals, and for generous |
and gentlemanly officers she had no supe- |
rlors. She is to receive q new coat of paint, |
and undergo some repairs, preparatory to !
entering the Wabash river, where we wish \
her abundant success, for she certainly !
merits all that can be bestowed upon her.
GdF The particular fayorlte, Lus Edpes,
takes her departure this Afternoon, for South /
CarrolltOn, and will take passengers and I
freights on the most reasonable terms. AS
a gentleman, Capt Mcdonald stands SUI
premely conspicuous, and those who travel
with him, are sure to 90 with him the see
ond time in preference to all others. The
Ls1e Eares is n prompt and reliable boat, and
shippers at this point should give her lib
ersl support. "a
Bag While the river is down. We recon-
mend that some steps he taken to remove
the old wharf-boat, which now occupies the
best place on the landing. Ii will soon be
too late to do anything with il, as we cannot
expect TO have low water for all time toI
come. The old craft is perfectly worthless
and will prove great disadvantage whea
the river again comes to its proper stand
ard. ~
awe are under obligations to Capi.ini
Davis, of the Done, for a brace of dpsks.
Captain, you should keep them warm next
time That character of duck cannOt stand
too much cold weather Ii proves fatal,
especially where they are closely eoahned-
