1.-The Weather yesterday was quite
cool and pleasant We had heavy shower
of rain in the early part of the day, and the
sky continued cloudy until evening.
1.-THE River at this point continues to
rise slowly. At Louisville, yesterday, it
was still swelling, with 5 feet l inch of
water in the canal, and three feet in the
pass on the falls. At Cincinnati it had
commenced receding, having fallen l inch.
There were thirteen feet five inches in the
channel. At Pittsburg there were but 4
feet scant, and falling rapidly.
...... Business at the landing was rather
dull, and there were no changes in the ship
ping rates.
1900 The gallant little Lue EdUes arrived
late last night from from Bowling Green,
having been detained by an accident to her
machinery at Paradise, by which she lost
some 8 hours time. She reports Green
river very low, there being but 20 inches
of water at Mudriver Lock. She leaves
psSeis morning at 8 o'clock on her return to
Bowling Green carrying the mail, and
there is now a prospect that she will be
required in this service for some time, for
the stage of water reported will not permit
the regular mail packet Boaolng Green to
pass, and the EaOes draws less than any
other boat.
'.....The Grey Eagle, of Gallipolis, passed
up yesterday on her return from Cairo
90 Louisville.
...'..The Charley Bo,Cen arrives from
Cairo this morning. and will be receiving
freight to-day. Her agent, Mr. P. D. Viets,
will be found ready to attend to it.
1.-THE favorite packet Dunbar leaves
for Paducah to-day at her usual hour. She
is always on time, and punctual as clock.
...... The Masonic Gem left Louisville
with good trip, but arrived here yesterday
rather light, having done a good deal of
way business. Upon her arrival, she was
chartered by l. A. Crane & Co., to make one
trip up the Wabash to bring down cargo
of corn, but will resume her place in the
Louisville trade upon her return. She left
asst night taking up cargo of salt.
1.-The steamer Caroline arrived from
the Wabash river yesterday morning, laden
with corn. She returns to-day.
1.-THE Trio came in on time, and left
yesterday, carrying the mail.
1.-The E. Fl. Fairchild, from New Or
leans to Louisville, passed up yesterday.

Louisville. The Bracelet for Cairo and
Memphis, the W. 1. NacEay for Cairo aud
St. Louis, the John GauH for Cairo, the
s. II. Tucker for the Arkansas river, and
the General Pike for Memphis.
1T is the intention of the owners of the
L. c. Ferry to place her in the trade between
here and Evansville as a regular semi week
~ packet, leaving here every Tuesday and
Friday. She is well adapted to the trade
especially at present, rs she is of extremely
light draught. She has every accommoda-
ton, having one of the incest cabins on the
river, and all conveniences for passengers

THB STEAMBOAT CAPTAINS ASSOCIATION
This body continued i'll session Wednes
day, but the time of the delegates was chief
iy occupied in the discussion of various pro
positions. There appears to be a diversit.
of sentiment with reference to some matter
and a clashing of interests that it will b
difficult to adjust.
The committee charged with regulating
freights are still engaged upon their report
which they have not yet perfected.
1t Is highly probable that the association
will continue in session during the entir
