Woodford, New Orleans.
1890. The weather Saturday was cool and
cloudy, with occasional CLEANS of sunshine.
The recent rains have made the landing ex-
ceedingly muddy, causing the handling of
freight to be a very disagreeable natter
The river was rising slowly, having risen
one foot during the "a hours ending at dark
Saturday night. We note no change in
freights except in hay, which has advanced
to $40 per ton to New Orleans.
Business, Saturday, on the landing was
quite brisk. A large amount of freight
had accumulated, sufficient to give two
boats almost an entire outfit.
1.-THE Dunbar takes her departure to-
day at noon, for Paducah. She offers the
only sure and pleasant way of getting down
the river to-day that we know of. Her
gentlemanly officers, Capts. Fowler and
Dusouchet, may be found in their respective
places, glad to attend to the wishes of their
patrons and friends.
The magnificent Grey Eagle is the
regular packet for Louisville this morning.
She is one of the finest boats on the river,
and her accommodations fully correspond
with her appearance. Capts. Daniels and
Duncan take great pride in looking after and
providing for the comfort of their passen-
gers.
..-... The Autocrat arrived early Saturday
morning and remained until night. She
took on board several hundred tons of
freight. Among the shipments we mention
500 bbls pork, $50 ties lard, 10 boxes to-
bacco, J. S. Mitchell & Co; 600 bbls -four,
Geo. Wolflin; 55 bbls -four, Iglehart Bros;
So bbls -four, plows, bbls butter, /. A.
Crane & Co; 21O bbls whisky, half bbls
ditto, 642 sacks corn, So bbls beef and bar
rel lard, Allis & Howes; 123 SKIS corn, 10
bbls eggs, A. Lemcke & Co.; Brown &
Altman, 700 bbls flour, 5000 lbs bulk
pork, 1855 kegs lard, Is bbls do, 80 bbls
pork, 48 casks pork Geo. Foster & Co. also
shipped from 90 to 100 tuns. We failed to
get the items.
..."B By private letter from Capt. Consol,
of the Castle Garden, we learn that his
boat re-shipped her cargo at Cairo. He was
loading at that port for Cincinnati, and was
to have left on Friday or Saturday last
The report that the Castle Garden is in the
hands of the U. s. Marshal is a mistake
She was not detained by that functionary
above "a hours, when matters were all made
straight, and the boat sent on her way re-
joicing.
1.-THE GreenviIJe aud Union left Satur-
Gay at the same IlUle- We tA6y
had an exciting trial of speed.
1.-THE Autocrat failed to take all the
freight on the levee. The shippers were ex-
pecting to furnish the Woodford with all
she wanted when she came down. They
we're looking for her Saturday night.
The Scioto came down about 81
o'clock, being several hours behind time.
The 4. o. Tyler, with a large barge
n tow, arrived about D clock, Saturday
afternoon. She took on board 81 hhds to-
,acco, IA bbls eggs and dried apples, and g
lot of sundries, from l. A. Crane & Co
