....- The Heather, yesterday, was very
pleasant. The air was rendered cool and,
invigorating by the slight rain, and the
dust was so dampened as no longer to be a
source of annoyance.
tile Riper continues to decline very
rapidly. One would suppose the bottom
had dropped out, so rapidly does it recede.
The past rain may have some influence on
the river, but we apprehend it will be very
slight Our latest intelligence from the
Wabash is to the effect that navigation in
that stream is becoming difficult and pre-
carious.
''..-.The Dunbar left yesterday noon with
a good trip of merchandise. Thanks to
her gentlemanly clerk for a copy of her
manifest.
The Bowling Green and Lue Faces
departed for Green River with light trips
of freight.
The Freestone is advertised in the
Cincinnati Gazette to leave that city to-day
for Evansville and the Wabash river
...... The Charley Boa0ca, having been en-
tirely refitted and, in n great measure, re-
furnished, takes her departure to-day for
Cairo. A new cylinder has been placed in
the boat, she has been thoroughly cleaned
and repaired under the superintendent of
Messrs. Turnock & Son, new carpets from
the establishment of Mr.. Hopkins have been
laid on the cabin floor, the pilot house has
been enlarged and fitted up in q beautiful
manner-in short the Charley is almost
new boat, and one of the handsomest on
the river. Everything about her is as snug
as heart could wish; and we have no
doubt, that all the ladies who visit aud
look through her. will, without exception,
pronounce her "a love of boat"
Now that the BosoeR is ready to re-
sume her trips in her old trade, we trust
our commission men and merchants will
see that she meets with liberal sup
port. All of the interests of her officers and
owners are identified with those of our city,
and it would be a lasting shame should the
BoweR he compelled to withdraw from her
present trade from a lack of support. We
can not believe that this will ever be the
case. On the contrary we feel assured that
ss-long as the Charley Boacen chooses to re-
main where she is, liberal share of patron
age will always be accorded her.
I'VE learn from the officers Of tile
SeiOto that the arrangements for ii line of
mail packets from our city To Louisville and
Notwithstanding ut this point-have
been completed, and Will go into effect on
the lst of April. 1t was necessary to Sc
cure permit from the p. o. Department to
transfer the Cairo mail from Paducah steam
ers to the Tom Scott, Il steamer now
making daily trips from Paducah to Cairo
and this, Capt. Pcarce, now ut Washington
writes back lie will have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning. So we presume we may congratu-
late ourselves on having daily mail line
from here to Paducah and mail boat four
times week to Louisville. 1t is quite
probable that the owners of the Dunbar
will purchase the kentucky and run her in
connection with their steamer leaving our
city on alternate days. This line of boats
we think will one day become as POPULAR as
the old Cincinnati and Louisville line. So
soon as the branch road from Paducah, in
tersecting the great New Orleans and Co.
lumbus thoroughfaro, is completed, n large
amount of the travel now passing over the
Illinois Central road, will be turned in this
direction. Tired with a ride of SO hours in
themselves of the facilities for a nights rest,
afforded by a luxurious boat, and will almost
invariably take the branch road to Padu-
cah instead of going to Columbus. They
will leave Paducah say at 0 o clock A. NJ.
ana arrive in our city early the next morn
ing in time for the cars, and will feel invig-
GRATED and refreshed by the nights repose.
The comforts of this route will prove so supe-
rior to all Others, that we feel confident the
greater portion of Southern travel is yet des-
tined to pass through our city. What say
our eitizens-shall we have hotel capable
of accommodating this stream of travel
one that would be equally enticing to the
traveller, and credit to the good taste and
enterprise of our city
--.-'' 1t is stated that the owners of the old
Natehez are building new hull ut Cincin-
matt for her machinery.
'..--' We understand that Capt Able of the
Dickey and Capt. Postal of St. Louis intend
building a couple of boats at New Albany.
49,. Capt. Eugene Larne of the New
Orleans and Bayou Sara mail trade, is in
Louisville TO contract for two medium sized
boats for that service.
-.--~The Baltic, Fegtona and Ohio Belle
arrived Mt New Orleans Sunday.
The departures from New Orleans Monday
were the Queen Of the West, Emerald, Silver
Wave, and Baltic.
1.-The steamer John Temp kins arrived
here yesterday. In getting through the
bridge, the stern swung around, the boat
lodged between the piers and for some time
was in a critical position; but fortunately
she got through the draw without damage.
She has heavy freight, and is drawing too
much water to get out of the river Ym.
