...... The Weather yesterday was very
cold. There was a severe frost the night
before, and chilling wind was blowing
during the whole day There seems to be
an excellent prospect for the entire destruc-
ton of the peach crop, if it is not already
cut off. E
Business Sunday and yesterday was
quite good. At one time there were five
large New Orleans boats at the landing
, ceiving and discharging freight.
'-.... The River was falling considerably.
A Cincinnati it was rising with Ia feet in
the channel from that city to Louisville.
At Pittsburgh it was on the decline.
... Eeights have been thinned out con-
siderably by the steamers FdirchiLd, BuIlitt,
and Tylor We did not ascertain that there
has been any change in the prices, as yet
The rate will be reduced-we think-short-
ly as, freights are daily becoming more scarce.
1.-THE Charley Botoen, be it remember
ed. is the regular railroad packet for Cairo
and intermediate points to-day at II o'clock.
Let every pound of freight to be delivered
at any point on the lower Ohio be sent
down early, as Capt. Dexter always desires to
leave on advertised time. Passengers will
find the Bolcen to be one of the most COM
Portable boats on the river, and as speedy as
the swiftest. .a-s-a
1.-THE Lue Eaves arrived on Sunday
W 18th good trip and Is passengers. She
left yesterday afternoon with good load.
1.-The Dunbar left at her usual hour
with fair trip.
1.-The, Grey Eagle, it is stated, has made
her last trip in the Louisville and Hender-
son trade. A gentleman went up on her,
for the purpose-so we are informed-Of
buying her and placing her i'll the Memphis
and Vicksburg trade. The Grey Eagle is
an honor to any locality, and we will part
with her with regret. We trust, however,
that her enterprising owners will supply
her place with a boat equally capacious,
comfortable and handsome.
$500 The GreenOiile, Capt Humphreys
in command, and Mr.. McCulloch in the Of
fee, leaves for Bowling Green to-day. The
GreenUiLte is one of the reliables and hts an
established reputation for promptness and
speed. Passengers and freight will be care
fully attended to. Mir. McCulloch will ac-
cept our thanks for copy of his manifest
49,. There are some probabilities that
the arrangements so long talked of in refer
snce to changing the manner of carry
ing the Louisville and Cairo mail is likely
to prove failure after all. The suspicion
seems to have been circulated that there is a
strong probability the Post Master General
will stop that route altogether and that the
present mail company. foreseeing the dan
ger, are anxious to get rid of the thing with
their boats in time. How true this is we do
not pretend to say.
1900 All day long yesterday, the crew of
the steamer Pacific were busly engaged in
unloading the unfortunate Anglo Stt1on.
The shore was literally lined with the mer-
chandise, furniture, produce and machinery
taken from the ill-hted steamer. The fire
in the meantime continued to rage in the
hold, but by keeping the matches down tight
and throwing in a steady jet of steam it was
prevented from bursting above the decks.
Finally, after nearly everything was taken
from her, she was scuttled, the water rising
above her lower deck. This extinguished
the fire, and will insure the safety of the
boat.
1he Pacific did one of the most profitable
days work that will ever fall to her LOT
again, as her officers will secure salvage both
on the Anglo Saxon and her cargo, which
must De very ValuaOle. WDat the amount
OF the insurance is we did not learn.
... Several articles of clothing and val
uables were stolen on the Anglo Sdron dur
ing the excitement on Sunday night. The
passengers were first taken off the boat
thankful to escape with their life. After they
they discover there was no immediate danger
they returned to gather their clothes, when
they found many things missing. The An
0IO iSaxOn was loaded with merchandise des
tined principally for Arkansas. She had
some sixty passengers on board at the
time of the occurrence. One of her pas
sengers, Mr.. Amos White, of GAINESVILLE, o.
informs us that she had in her hold lot Of
hay. whisky, lime and powder-rathel
combustible materials, we should judge
The powder was thrown over board immedi
ately after the discovery of the fire, and al
danger from that source were removed
1.-THE Cincinnati Gazette says:
