of the freight out, until the river becomes
too low for operations.
.---.E reights are not so plentiful since
the arrival and departure of the Wdgn0lid,
but still considerable remains which the

per hid to New Orleans.

little freight was put aboard of it yester-
day, the proprietors intending to float it
