The Weather ON yesterday was very
warm during the forenoon, with Il heavy
wind blowing the dust in all directions,

had heavy thunder storm accompanied by
hail and rain, which lasted until late in

THE Elephant" packet Charley
Bo,Oen, is the only through packet to Cairo
and way points to-day, she starts at noon.
The fame of the Charley as a swift and ac-
commodating boat, needs no comment from
us. Those who have Travelled on her will
do so again, and to those who have not we
will say try her. Capt Dexter, is thorough
steamboatman, and her other officers all
know their duty and do it.

says: The river continues III fine naviga-
be condition, there hcing plenty of water
for the largest class boats. Unfortunately,
however, there is nothing for them TO do, us
freights are very scarce and travel to the
West is about at an end. We have had
quite a variety of weather during the past
few days, and TO predict anything i'll regard
to its future course is useless.

packets. Every boat arriving from above is
loaded to her utmost capacity, and has load
ed barges in tow.
