1.-The Heather. yesterday, was extreme
" windy and dust flew to q disagreeable ex-
tent.
1.-The wind and dust, which had been
a constant source of annoyance to pedestri-
ans during the day, received quietus last
night from the rain.
1895 Business on the levee was unusually
dull Freights are scarce and but few ship
ments were made.
.-.. The RiUer still recedes aud we may
soon expect the appearance of sand-bars.
The Wabash packets, it seems, have already
found some of these animals and stuck fast
on them. We trust, however, the boats
may yet work their way through.
..-- a change has taken place in the
officers of the SLIDER Star. Mr.. Gordon
Flournoy has assumed command, and MIR.
Bunting takes charge of the Office. Capt.
Hail will act as agent for both the SilUer
Star and Dunbar, and from his acquaintance
and activity, we dare say, viii increase the
business of those boats largely.
1.-THE d. B. GamppeU left for Bow
ling Green last night with light trip.
1.-The Lue EIpes, is the regular South
Carrolton packet this afternoon. Capt.
Mcdonald and lack Taylor will be found
on board, ready aud anxious to do the
agreeable.
1.-The d. B. Ca,npbeH arrived yester-
day morning with a fair trip, she bad on
board about 80 hhds Of tobacco, and tier
ces of meat.
1.-The swift Dunbar is the mail and
coast packet to-day for Paducah. She is
under the command Of Capt. Fowler with
Gus Dnsouchet in the Office. Both of these
gentlemen are efficient and accommodating
officers.
....-.T The Bososn and Steer Star left at
their usual hour
1.-THE D. b. Campbell, departed last
night with a fair trip.
1.-The Aut0crdt will be at our landing
to-day on her way to Louisville.
I'VE had the pleasure, yesterday, of
meeting our friend Mr.. Edwards, formerly of
the Bracelet. Aft. looks hearty and in fine
spirits.
$500. The Atlantic will probably be in
port to-day, with shingle out for New
Orleans.
800. The story of the marriage of oar
friend lack Taylor turns out to be a hoax,
gotten up for the amusement of some Of
lacks acquaintances. All we have to say
is, we are sorry it was not true, for if there
is any one calculated to make a woman
happy, it is our friend lack.
The following is from the pen of the
Editor of the Rockport Democrat who las
in our city long enough to be well satisfied
of the truth of what he asserts:
Evansville is improving rapidly, and viii
soon realize the most ardent hopes of her
citizens There is more produce shipped
here than at Louisville. The d" Baltic" and
" Pacific" have just completed their car
goes of produce for the South, and still
leave the LeUee covered with freight. All
the large Louisville boats load at this
point The business men of Evansville are
adopting n very judicious course. They
give substantial encouragement to their nu-
merous packet boats to Paducah, Cairo, Wa
bash, and Green River, and in return they
get the trade from the points thus tapped.
They ought to have a daily line of packets
to Rockport and CanDeltOn. In time it
would be self-sustaining, and ut once result
to the advantage of Evansville. If the
Evansville folks would take time to think
about this enterprise they would he con-
WINGED of its utility. The immense amount
of grain and tobacco raised in Narrick,
Spencer, and Perry counties, on this side of
the river, and of Hancock and Daviess on
the other, would gradually seek Evansville
as the grand shipping point for New
Orleans.
FLAT Boat SUNK.-Last Friday a fiat
boat, loaded with corn, endeavored to go
over the falls, and when Just below the
mill, on the Indiana shore, she struck the
rocks and sunk.
