1.-The Weather yesterday was blustery
in the extreme. A South wind came with
the force of a severe gale, rendering it al
most impossible for boats to navigate. The
wind prevailed all day, and dashed the
waves of the river into fury. The surf was
equal to that of large lake in ordinary
wind. The sky was clear and the air mild,
betokening the approach of spring.
....-.The River is on the rise. Green
river is rising all the way up. We may
expect plenty of water.
1--WE suppose there is nothing of es-
pecial interest on the Wabash if so, we
should hear from our popular correspond
ent-W. Fl. W.
--.-.. The gale yesterday proved too much
for the ferry-boat.- She was carried, in spite
of all her efforts, down stream, and was with
difficulty landed near the Marine Hospital.
Her tiller rope was broken, for which reason
she could not be managed. Her trips will
be resumed to-day.
1.-Two coal barges belonging to the
Bodiam Company were filed with water
yesterday at the landing, by the dashing of
the waves.
..... Last evening the NesO Uncle Sam, in
landing alongside the Masonic Gem, at the
wharf-boat, came in with such force on ac-
count of the wind, that she damaged the Gem
so badly as to delay her in starting. The
Gem will not start until twelve o'clock to-
day, when she will be off for Mt. Carmel
exiting"
-.....The reliable GreenvilIe starts for
Bowling Green to-day at 10 o'clock. Capt.

I'VE are informed that the d. B.
Campbell, from Wabash to Green river, is
aground at the Chain. She has on board a
large load of corn, which she is Tightening
off, <t
-'.... We learn that the Legislature Of
Kentucky has refused to confirm the ap-
pointment of CHARLEY CLARK of the Louis
vile Courier, as captain of the wharf boat a
the mouth of Green river. Reason--he
drinks so much whisky it would cost toe
much to keep him supplied and his repu.
tatiOn for veracity is so bad that he CAM
be spared from his present post. He just
fills the bill when New Albany, Evansville
or any other rival of Louisville, is to bt
slandered.
