CRESCENT OFFICE No. 10 GAafp STREET se
TUESDAY Morning, Jan. Q. 1881.
The weather yesterday was clear, bright and
pleasant Business on the levee was very active.
The arrivals were large in number, and the depart
ures more numerous than on any preceding Non
day during the present steamboating season. Good
trips are now the order OF the day and every inch
of freight-room is taken up on both the arrivals
and departures. Cotton continues to come in by !
the guards under" Cargo and up freighta are
in good supply in all the trades. The only diff
Guilty now existing, with which our stean1boatmen
have to contend, is to get their freight to their
boat through the coDglonlerated and ded piles
of produce on the landings.
The Ouachita steamer Lizzie Simmons was COM
PEELED yesterday, to defer her departure until this
evening from this difficulty. The Queen Of the
West for Cincinnati, and the New Sam Gaty for
St. Louis, were also compelled to lay over until to-
| day, from the same cause. The last two mentioned
boats will, however leave positively at IL o'clock
NJ, to-day We learn by a dispatch to Mr.. Geo.
D. Hite, from the clerk of the steamer Starlight, that
she will be at the landing this morning ready to
receive for Red river, and will leave on Thursday
| on her return.
| The St. Louis papers tell of the discovery Of
chip of boy, years old, brskly navigating the
Mississippi in aleaky sk, bound, as he said, TO
| away from home in that city, and go and see his
Aunt Mullen in Chicago. He gave his name as
| John William Wallace. John was taken home and
his feet toasted, and was put to bed likely enough
but we wager he will be heard of again in this :
world.
The Cincinnati Gazette of the oath inst. says:
The weather yesterday morning was cloudy and
cool, but towards noon it turned somewhat warmer
and commenced raining, and last evening it was
cold and damp.
The river opposite this port is falling rapidly,
but there is fine stage of water for all naggable
