.'''-' The Weather yesterday was cool
and pleasant In the afternoon heavy
wind sprung up, the sky became overcast
with clouds. the smoke settled to the earth,
and everything gave indications that we
were TO be favored with another rain. This
will be acceptable TO steamboat men, many
of whom have been compelled to lay'idle on
account of low water.

erately active The arrivals and departures

terday about O'Clock, full of people and
with some 300 or 400 tons OF freight. The
officers of the Autocrat will accept our

'----- The B0VLing Green-one of the
swiftest packets that plies in the waters of
Green River-will leave to-day. Capt Sage,

I'VE learn from the officers of the Au-
tOerdt, that the Neao Uncle Sam, when
about 200 miles below Mem phis, picked up
a snag that very nearly ruined tile boat
one wheel badly, disabled one of the en-
gines, disloeated shoulder of one of the
engineers, and turned things upside down
generally. The officers of the boat having
put things to rights best they could,
started on their journey on one wheel. But
the fates were against the great leveller, and
about 100 miles below Memphis she ground
ed, where she remains to this day. The,

1890 About threehourS after the depart
ure of the Autoerat, yesterday the Attaltic
made her appearance. She hurried things
up lively in order TO get after the -1atocTat

side of Louisville. The atlantic was about
the same time running out of sight from the
wharf bOatth was required by the Aut0eTat.

indication of heavy fog, and many boats
