The weather yesterday was cool and
cloudy. In the afternoon it began to rain,
and q cold, disagreeable rain it was. Bust
ness was very dull. River rising. Freights
plenty.
-.... The E. II. Fairchitd and Pacific
passed up yesterday at noon. The Fdsrchitd
was little in advance. The Pacific put off
some sugar and molasses.
...... The Lac Eaves left with moderate
trip. r- 20
...... We understand that Capt. Lancas-
ter, of the Maid Of the MIST, intends build
ing new boat this summer and placing in
her the engines formerly in the LighVoOt.
A lot of hoop poles on the landing
were prematurely launched yesterday, by
the rise in the river.
The Scsoto, Capt Ballard, is the regular
Louisville packet this morning. She affords
an excellent opportunity to go to the Falls
City.
...."The AutocrGt will leave for New Or
leans to-day. This new packet offers rare
Accommodations to those who may desire to
goSouth. The living on board is luxurious,
the sleeping facilities unrivaled, and the
officers and employees the choicest of good
fellows. The AutocrGt will secure all the
freight here that she will desire to take,
and will have the satisfaction of going out
of the Ohio with second huge trip.
......The Charley BoweD leaves to-day at
IL o'clock. She is the favorite with our
people, and deservedly so. Capt. Dexter
has allied his interests to those of our city,
and does all in his power to increase the
business of the place. His orders, when left
to his own control, are invariably brought
here to be filed. Our merchants and BUSH
ness men, in turn, should extend helping
hand to him.
1.-THE faithful and reliable Gree1Ville
departs for Bowling Green to-day She is
prepared to take all the freight and passen-
gers with which she may be favored, and
destination, in safety and with Dispatch
Her obliging clerk, Mr.. Travis, is always
found at his post, eager to please and anx-
lous 70 accommodate
'''..' The d. b. Campbell came down last
evening with very light trip She goes
up the Wabash. We understand that she
went up the Wabash after a load of corn.
....... We regret to learn that Mr.. Smith,
the gentlemanly clerk of the CampbeH,
lies seriously III at Bowling Green.
...... We learn that the Neso Fails City
has been at Algiers for some time, repairing
the damages done by her accident near West
Franklin, on her last trip out. 1t seems
the injury was greater than supposed at the
time of the mishap. 5stf
...... The Woodford is the next steamer
bound for New Orleans after the Autoerat
1899. The New Albany Ledger says: We
understand that Capt. J. b. Archer, late Of
the Montgomery, has been rendered the COM
mand of the Mcclellan, by Capt. Sherley
President of the Memphis Mail Line. The
steamboat world might have been hunted
over without finding a more worthy and
popular officer. f.t-
The same paper says the river is rising a
that point; that the mud is very deep, anG
that freights are increasing, and that the
Aatocrat will take what freight there wa:
on the wharf-boat. ti| ~
800. All the machinery necessary to re
pair the Baltic has been cast, and will bt
ready to put aboard as soon as the boat ar
rives. The Baltic, consequently, will bt
detained very short time.
...... The Neeo Uncle Sam left New Or
leans for Louisville on Thursday last.
......The Louisville Courier man is won
derfully exercised in reference to the action
of our Board of Trade to secure the appoint
ment of local Inspectors for this port. HI
devotes half column, denouncing what b
seems to consider as an audacious move
ment. Keep cool, friend. When you ge
your wharf boats established at the moutl
of Green and Wabash rivers, you will
doubtless, so use us up, that the appointment
of Inspectors will be unnecessary. AS tn
case now stands, however, it is quite ikel
that the Inspectors will be appointed.
1--WE have heard nothing lately il
reference to widening the canal at the Falls
Has it been abandoned? We trust Congress
will take some action in the matter.
