Tho Weather, Saturday, was pleasant.
There was considerable wind during the
greater part of the day, which caused the
dust to fly but the sun shone warm and
pleasant.
1.-THE River was falling slowly. Green
river was also falling Saturday, but was
still in fine boating condition. Our ac-
counts from above show the river to be on
the decline at all points. Western rivers
are also reported TO be falling.
THE clipper Dunbar is the regular
mail packet to-day at l 2 o'clock. The Dam
bar is fleet, and her accommodations for
the comfort of passengers are equal to
those of any boat on the river. Capt. Fowler
is an accommodating commander, and Gus.
Dusouchet, in the Office, is without rival
in that position.
1.-THE Steamer GREY Eagle will leave
for Louisville this morning. She offers the
only reliable chance that will present itself
to go to that city to-day.
1.-The GreeRUiiLe arrived Friday night.
Mr.. Travis will accept our acknowledge
nf he
brought out Is passengers. Owing to some
repairs that had to be made on her furnace,
the GreenUiLLe did not leave on Saturday.
She will depart this morning at 10 o'clock.
Passengers will find the GreenoiLLe a pleas
ant boat, and her officers gentlemen in every
sense of the word. Freight shipped on the
GreenUiLe is always delivered ut its place
of destination in apple-pie order. -.s
1.-The Caroline arrived Saturday. Her
clerk--we don't know winch one--was too
busy to either favor us with manifest or
permit us to copy it from his books. We
congratulate the owners Of the boat on hav-
ing so active and energetic young man in
the Office. She brought out over 5000 SKIS
corn for /. A. Crane &c Co. This we gath
cred from other sources.
The Ltse Eaves is the regular Greer
River packet to-day. Capt. Mcdonald and
Zach. Taylor will do the agreeable to all
who take passage with them.
..-... Messrs. Crane 4 Co. inform US that
they had received reliable intelligence from
their stolen hams 1t seems the rogues APP
propriated skiff belonging to young gen
tleman of our city, loaded it with the meat,
and started down stream. The presumption
is that they were overtaken by daylight,
and fearing they would he discovered by
passing boats, they run their skif ashore
and abandoned it. When found it WAS
afloat, about ten miles below town, and con-
tanned 90 hams, probably all that were
taken out of the cask.
49,. The New Orleans Deaa says the
steamer Eclipse since she come out has paid
nearly 100000 to the insurance offices.
1t will take, says the same paper, ut least
$4,000 TO repair her, and it hopes for the
sake of deccncy that the underwriters will
accept the proposition of Capt SPOTS, pay
him 5 3 900 and permit him to build new
boat and place the machinery of the Eclipse
in her.
$500. The Persia, on Saturday, had on a
large quantity of cotton, which she was
taking from Memphis to Cincinnati. 1t is
a matter of establishment that our business
men do not take more interest in this cotton
business that is constantly going right by
their doors They ought to lose no time
in interesting themselves in an Evansville
and Memphis steamboat inc, and competing
with Cincinnati for this cotton business.
1t would pay the f. Il G. r. r., to buy
one of the Louisville and Memphis steam
ers, and put her in from here to Memphis, il
no one else will do it. The mail contract
could easily be gotten; arrangements could
h.. a1n 10 1ao1 %
over their road by means of the boat and
a large passenger business might be built up
Now is the golden opportunity, when the
Louisville men desire to sell their boats and
mail contract on reasonable terms. Now is
the tide which ought to be taken at its flood
If our business men do not awaken and bestil
themselves, Paducah will be ahead of them
sure, in this matter.
We copy the following from a Gin
cinnati paper, to show the extent of THU
Cotton business. .r-...s. ~
