Charley Bowen, Evansville to Cairo.
The Bowen put out for Cairo on Satur-
day with colors flying. We fear her old
friends down the river will hardly recognize
her in her new dress of paint Everything
about the boat is now in a thorough state of
repair, and we predict for the Bowen a sue
cessful and money making season. Scarcely a
year has elapsed since contributions had o Q
made in order to sustain one beat in this
trade, and now we have two-both doing
well-with prospect for q third. Should
the Paducah Branch road be finished, one
of the finest packet trades on the .,Ohio will
be between here and that point.
We noticed that they were favored with
the same kind of weather-that we expert
enced on Friday last at most all the points
above.
The weather, on Saturday, was in pleas
ing contrast with that of the day before. 1t
was mild and pleasant
Notwithstanding the vast amount of
freight on the landing very few shipments
were made. Most of the boats coming
| down are deeply loaded, and unable to take
on additional freight at this port.
| The Bracelet was at the wharf having a
| good trip. We were favored with a mani
fest through the politeness of her gentleman
| ly Clerk, Mr.. Edwards. The Bracelet is &
nice little packet.
| The Greenville got on a good load and
put out for Green river Saturday evening.
The Silver Star arrived and put out again
on Saturday night. As she is a fast boat
we have no doubt she will be able to make
her trip and be on hand to-day. Travellers
are always pleased with the Star, and well
they may be, for nicer little packet is not
to be found on our Western rivers
| The Commercial says:
| A storm of rain, snow, and high winds
prevailed during the day and night, prevent
| ing shipments and the departure of boats
| The copious rain during the night previous
and yesterday, caused the river to rise two
feet during tie twenty-four hours ending at
dusk. Our dispatches (if we are fortunate
enough to make the telegraph connecticut

water below. Very little merchandise was
| drayed to the boats, ewing to the Indictment
weather.

four hours ending at dark last evening"
