...... The Weather, Saturday, was very
pleasant. In the evening it became quite
cold, and some fears were entertained of a
frost.
.-.... Business on the levee was rather dull.
1880. FreighLs are yet plenty, with no
change in prices; but as they are becoming
somewhat scarce above, we should not be
surprised to witness decline in the rates at
this point.
1.-THE Boacen departed Saturday for
Cairo with good trip of passengers and
freight Her boilers were examined in the
morning by Inspector Dawson, and stood
firm against a pressure of 1876 pounds. The
Charley was pronounced &c all right" and
sent on Der way rejoicing. We are sure
Capt Dexter's old friends down the river
will be pleased to see his gallant craft look
ing SO fine.
The lac Edves is the regular South
Carrolto1 packet this afternoon. Capts.
Mcdonald AID Taylor are clever fellows,
and their little packet is popular with the
masses, and it is only necessary to mention
her time of departure to insure her fair
share of patronage.
$3.50. We noticed that the deck hands on
the kentucky, which passed down on Sat-
get after the Charley Boaoen, which left
about half an hour in advance of the Ken
tueky.
Mr. JOHN SCoTT, the clever mail
agent on the kentucky favored us with
file of Louisville papers on Saturday, for
which he will accept our Acknowledgements.
...."Our list of arrivals show the number
and names of boats that touched during the
day on Saturday
1.-THE Campbell will be relieved from
all difficulty to-day, and will resume her
trips up Green River, we presume. She is a
capital boat and would just suit to carry the
mail TO Bowling Green under the new ar
rangement.
...The magnificent Dunbar is the mail
boat for Cairo to-day. She leaves at y
o'clock. Mr.. Gus Dusouchet will be found
in the Office, and will be happy to receive
visits from his friends, and will undoubtedly
register names for Paducah any other
point with the greatest of pleasure. Capt.
Fowler, too, may be found on deck, looking
after the safety ofhis passengers. Managed
by so clever and popular officers, it is not
surprising that the Dunbar is always crowd
ed with passengers. oo0LG-
A pair of coal boats belonging to
r. j. Watson of Louisville were sunk near
Caseyyille, the other day. S.,
...... The Fanny BuIIitt, E. II. Fdirchiid
and Pacific were all advertised to leave
Louisville on Saturday, and were probably
Mt our landing yesterday, eager for freight.
The Courier of Louisville, says the
Atlantic on her last trip was suffered to lie
Mt the landing of that city comparatively
idle for two days, receiving not over 300
tons of freight, when she could have got
twice the amount in less than one-fourlh OF
the time at other points along the lower
Ohio at better prices. So it seems Capt
McGill preferred lying idle two days at
Louisville to coming down the river and
taking freight from this and other places,
where shippers were anxious to get rid OF
it, and that when he does take freight from
these points it is only because he can't get
il anywhere else.
The United States Court at Keokuk
rendered decision on the Goth, declari ne
the Rock Island Bridge a nuisance, and
ordering are immediate removal.
