The Weather yesterday was cool and
pleasant The rain of the night previous
laid the dust effectually, and it was real
luxury to travellers who had been blinded
and strangled by the dust during the week
past.
THE river was rising rapidly during
the day, yesterday. 1t came up about two
feet in "a hours ending at dark last night
There is now a good prospect for fine
stage ofwater once more.
Business at the levee was dull.
There were no transactions of importance
that came under our observation.
Eeights are scarce. They do not
accumulate sufficiently fast to overstock our
regular Paducah and Cairo packets.
1.-THE Charley Bowen is the only Evans
willie and Cairo through packet to-day. She
leaves at 2 o clock precisely, and it is to be
desired that shippers have their freight on
hand on time,as Capt. Dexter always desires
to leave at the advertised hour. Mr.. Mar

--''-The GreenOitle departed yesterday
afternoon with fair trip.
1.-The B. j. adams passed down with
a good trip. She took some freight here
and the band belonging to the boat discOurs-
ed sweet music to the crowd on the levee.
.. The W. Y. GiIlum arrived yester-
r
She brought out so hhds for Brown & Ak
man, and 81 hhd5 for Slaughter & bunker
SON This tobacco will all be sent East by
rail.
'--'' We have never attended II more
agreeable excursion than that of the Char
leg Bolcen to Spottsville, yesterday. AL
though it was the understanding that the
excursion was to he postponed Capt. DeK-
ter thought it was best to 60 az he had in
vited some friends from below. The crowd
was large, of both ladies and gentlemen, the
day was beautiful, and the dinner which
was gratuitously served by the officers of
the Bo0en, who never do anything by
halves, was the finest we have sat down to
for many day. We heard but one opin-
ion expressed, and that was that the whole
affair was gratifying to all. Capt. Dexter
and the other officers and the crew of the
Boa0en have immortalized themselves in the
hearts OF those present, as the resolutions
copied below, will testify:
.'..'. At a meeting of the participants in
the pleasure excursion on the 18th inst, on
board the steamer Charley Bo,0en, up Green
river it was unanimously
Res0tOed That we tender to the captain
and other officers of the boat our thanks for
the great pleasure they have afforded us.
Resolved, That in their gentemauly de-
pertinent and kind treatment we recognised
the best and highest character Of steamboat
men.
Resolved, That in all the appointments of
the Charley BOl0en we found all that could
be wished for by traveller guest, and wo
heartily recommend her to every body who
may be fortunate enough to fall in her way
ReSOtUsd last though not least; that the
dinner which was served up for us, " with
out money and without price" was the very
perfection of good taste and good eating
and showed Mr.. Jack Grammer to be II
tip top stewart.
