1.-The weather yesterday was cool but
otherwise very pleasant. Business was
rather dull for boats stopping to put off or
receive freights. Rates are unchanged
The river was rising slowly. ~
''..'. The splendid steamer Dunbar will
leave for Paducah to-day at IL O'clock
Her accommodations are so excellent, that
we are not surprised to hear that she ID
making money. She is a model packet,
and her officers are well acquainted with
the wants of the trade in which she is run
ming, and adapt themselves to the wishes of
the people so admirably that their packet is
crowded with passengers and filed with
freight.
1900 By private dispatch We learn tina
the steamer Autocrat left Louisville lastt
evening, there being little or no freight at
that point. She will come to our place to
load. She will find more here, we appre-
bend, than she can stow away. We under
stand her agents have secured all the boat
can carry. sr-
1.-The John RGine passed up yesterday
morning. We are indebted to her gentle
manly clerk for a memoranda and late New
Orleans papers The John Raine will
be at our landing-with Single out for
New Orleans-on Sunday evening at 2
o'clock.
The popular Green river packet,
Lue Edves, departs for South Carrolton this
forenoon. Capt. Mcdonald has rendered
his boat great fayorite, and the announce
ment of her departure is all that is necessary
to insure her good load
-..-- The Scioto is the regular Henderson
packet this evening. She returns to-mor-
row morning for Louisville.
@ The Bowling Green left for Green
river last evening light. The good times
for the Green river packets is near at hand.
Soon the tobacco will begin to move, and
the little dinkeys will have all they can do.
Our landing will be crowded with the huge
hogsheads, unless our trade is all cut off by
the wharf-boat the Louisville Courier man
intends placing at the mouth of Green river.
The giving birth to that idea must have
been SO agonizing that we are really appre-
hensive for the poor fellows condition, and
shall receive the announcement of his con-
valescence with much pleasure.

... The Kate Sdrchet leaves to-day al
II O'clock for the Wabash. Shippers will
have their goods on hand in season.
1.-THE ST. Louis Democrat of yesterday
reports the Mississippi stationary and tn,
weather mild. The river was said to b.
open to Quincy. The Illinois river wa
open to Havana. The levee was in an aw
full muddy condition. Business was increal
ing daily.
MAS an indication of the kind of in
telligenee that "gets up" the river column
of the Louisville Courier we make the fol
lowing extract:
The Wabash and Green rivers were slight
" swelling at last accounts with an abund
ance of freight along their banks for thu
South, all of which is generally discharged
at Newburg, Evansville, Shawneetown, ant
other landings, to await reshipment on on
boats.
It has been suggested that two immens
wharf boats be built for the benefit of tn
Louisville boats, one of which % be locate,
at the mouth of Green river, and the othe
at the mouth of the Wabash.
1.-THE Cincinnati Gazette of Wednesda,
says:
The river is again falling slowly. During
the past twenty-four hours it has recede
about six inches. The weather yesterda,
was cloudy and cool, with indications c
rain. About dark it commenced raining
slowly, and if the weather does not turl
cold, we shall probably have heavy rain
which is much needed. Business on th
landing was quite lively. The shipments
however, were not very heavy. Monda.
night heavy fog covered the river, which
continued until late yesterday morning
Navigation was entirely suspended.
.--...The steamer General Pile on re
cent excursion up White River, was blow
into the woods, and about Is feet of he
larboard guard torn away and her coo
house considerably damaged. About fee
of her chimneys were also taken off, causin
her when she arrived at Memphis to preseT
rather forlorn appearance.
1.-THE New Orleans papers of the lot
report the weather pleasant and business or
ly moderately active. The e. III. Fairehil
was advertised to leave that city on til
evening of the 10th. The Pacific on Ii
18th.
