THE Weather, yesterday, would have
been very pleasant, if not insuffer-
ably dusty. A cool wind was blowing the
greater portion of the day, and clouds of
dust INSTRUCTED the streets, filling the eyes,
mouths and noses of pedestrians with the
irritating particles.
1.-The RiUer was falling quite rapidly.
1t was also falling above, except at Pitts
burg, where slight rise had taken place.
800. Freights are still plenty, notwith-
standing the huge load taken by the AUTO
last quoted. There are several Wabash
boats due, whose cargOes will again cover
our landing.
1.-The Dunbar will be on hand to re-
ceive passengers and freight for Paducah
this day at IL clock. She always departs
punctually at the advertised hour.
1.-The Lue EaOes is the regular packet
for South Carollton this afternoon. Capts.
McTln pold nd no to
after the comfort of all who may take pas
sage with them.
1.-The Autocrat was at the landing all
day yesterday, and received on board one
of the finest trips of the season.
1.-THE Masonic Gem arrived late last night
with full load. She will depart this eve
ming. Freight destined for the Wabash will
be promptly delivered if consigned to the
Gem
1.-The Kate Sarchet and John Temp kins
were both due last night, and are reported
to be full of freight.
1.-THE Science, from Pittsburgh, with a
good load, was at the landing last night.
She left for the Wabash.
1.-THE Alma put off a large lot of
freight last night.
AT a late hour last night, the AutocrGt
WIS still receiving freight. We shall not be
able to publish her shipments in full before
tomorrow. We were informed that beau
Iiful Bible was presented to the officers of
the boat by some of its friends and admirers,
yesterday afternoon.
THE Caroline arrived yesterday. Her
freight with the exception of few articles
of sundries was destined for Cincinnati for
which city the Caroline departed yesterday
afternoon.
...... The steamer Union arrived last
night with It fair trip. We are under obli-
Pg-I0ns to her gentlemanly Clerk, Mr. Jen-
~9eHhs, for a copy of her manifest. The IN
son uuloaded most of her freight and de-
parted for Louisville.
The want of New Orleans boats that
will not discriminate against this and neigh
boring places in favor of older and more
fortunate ones, is severely felt by our ship
pers The same hardship is felt at Mt. Yer
non, AS the following from the AdUocdte
testifes:
although every opportunity for re-ship-
ming freight has been embraced, the ship
ments have not been large, owing to the
scarcity of boats. This has become q great
and growing embarrassment to our shippers,
and it certainly behooves them TO endeavor
elapses."
We believe another such an Evansville
and New Orleans boat as the 4Autocrdt, to
run on alternate fortnight5 with her, so as
to form weekly line, would be a paying
institution. We heard a gentleman, well
acquainted with river matters, declare thai
four Evansville and New Orleans boats
making a mi-weekly line, would pay bet
ter than one, for the reason that the GER
tainty of having freight gotten off promptly
from here, would bring much more of it
this way and also because four boats would
be more able to compete with the up-river
influences, and to make their own rates with
less regard to other boats not belonging to
this trade.
However it may be in regard to the profit
OF four boats, there is no doubt that another
one, forming weekly line, would he well
sustained. Who, identified with Evansville
interests, will put her in ?
...- We learn from the Terre Haute Jour.
nal that the steamer Aida was run into by
the steamer John Tompkuas, one day last
week, and damaged to a considerable ex.
tent, though not enough to interfere with
her regular trips up and down the river.
Capt. J. W. Smith, of the steamer
Red Wing, intends to contract for a new
boat at Evansville, to be put in the New
Orleans and Arkansas river trade.-Neu
Albany Ledger.
We guess that is mistake. None of Oul
people know anything aboutit
