The Ohio opposite this port has continued
falling steadily since our last issue and a.
about the sane rate as on Sunday, and was
still receding last evening, with channel
depth at this point Of some twenty feet. At
Pittsburg the river was falling yesterday.
with fifteen and half feet having been six
feet higher on Sunday evening.
The weather was cool but pleasant yester-
day, with a fine breeze stirring. A number
of clouds hung below the heavens, indi-
eating snow or rain, probably the former,
though none of either fell
Business on the Landing was quiet yester-
day, though the wharf was lined with boats.
Freights were in moderate supply at our
previous quotations. t..-- r..|

The GREAT RUN OF THE ATLANTIC.-The
recent twenty-four hours run of the Allan
tic from New Orleans to Hard Times, dis
tance of $50 to 300 miles, has never been
equaled. 1t is an average of about fifteen
| miles an hour against the current of the
Mississippi. Heretofore the run of the J.
NJ. White to Rodney, in twenty-four hours,
was the great standard, which was never
| beaten till the rival runs of. the Eclipse and
! Shotwell. Their run in twenty four hours
was to a point seven miles below Grand
! Gulf Annexed is her actual time to va
rious points, furnished by James White, one
of the pilots of the Atlantic:
Run of the Ahanhc.-From New Or
leans (St. Mary's market) to Red Church, one
hour and forty-one minutes; to Bonnet Care
| Church, two hours and forty-6ve minutes; to
Bells Point, three hours and two minutes;
to College Point, four hours and one minute
to Donaldsvile, five hours and eleven min
utes; TO Plaquemme, seven hours and twenty
one minutes; to Baton Bouge, eight hours
and forty-five minutes; 10 Bayou Sara eleven
hours and thirteen minutes; to Red River,
thirteen hours and forty-seven minutes; to
Fort Adams, fourteen hours and thirty-seven
minutes; TO Natchez, eighteen hours and
forty-two minutes; to Rodney, twenty-five
hours and twenty-five minutes to Grand
Gulf, twenty-three hours and forty-eight
minutes; to Hard Times twenty-four hours.
Her best time, or run, was from Rodney to
Hard Times, distance of twenty-three miles,
in one hour and thirty-five minutes, showing
that her speed improved as she progressed.
Experienced boatmen, who were passengers
on the boat, are of the opinion that if the
Atlantic had been stripped for the race, and
had no freight on board, she could have gone
twenty miles further up the river in twenty.
