Our levee yesterday morning pre-
scented a more lively appearance than We
have witnessed for many days. Several
boats were receiving and discharging freight
at the same time, and the levee was throng-
ed with produce awaiting shipment.
1.-The River was rising during the day
and is now very nearly bank full The
weather was warm, clear, and delightful,
though very unreasonable.
1.-The clipper packet Charley Bowen
will be at the landing this morning. She
receipts for freight through to New Orleans
at the regular rates. Passengers will find
the Bowen to be a first class steamer in all
that makes travelling pleasant. Capt. Dex-
ter is an old and experienced commander,
and he is assisted by accommodating clerks.
1.-The Bracelet having taken the place
of the "big" Grey Eagle, will be at the
landing this evening with shingle ont for
Louisville. The Bracelet is a substantial
little boat, with affable officers.
1.-The huge Clara Dolsen arrived on
Sunday night. She had large crew bust
ly at work all night, slowing freight away.
Yesterday, too. all day long a stream of
freight kept pouring into the huge levia-
than. and yet at night she looked as though
she could easily dispose of as much more.
1.-THE Jacob Musselman arrived Sun
day night with an excellent trip. She
brought out of the Wabash country l75
bales hay, AGO bbls -four, 800 bags bran, l56
bbls pork, 200 bags corn, 400 kegs lard
Most OF her cargo was reshipped on the
Clara Dolsen.
1.-THE Grey Eagle was at the landing
yesterday morning on her way to New Or
leans. We are sorry to lose her from the Lou
isville trade, but was glad to see her have so
good load to New Orleans.
1.-The West Wind and High Flyer were
torn from their lines at ShippingpOrt, yes
terday, by the high wind that prevailed,
and started up the Falls together on their
own hook, having neither pilots nor crew
on board. The wind, however, was not
quite strong enough to make them stem the
current of the Falls, and they drifted over
to the " Canada shore. The job boat Char
ley Miller went to their assistance, and
crew placed on the West Wind when she
soon got steam up and came to the wharf
lou CoU.
.....FoOD FOR SOUTH CARoLINA.--The
huge Alecz Scott, on her way up the river
from New Orleans, discharged at Memphis
the other day 500 kegs of powder for poor
suffering South Cardinals use.
If our Northern Abolition brethren or
their orders elsew here-thoSe who are circu-
lating reports. that the people of Charleston
are starving, are taxed $40 per head on
their aiders, and compelled to pay 35 cents
per pound for beef &c.-will make trip
down there, we venture to say they will be
welcome to as much powder food rs they
can stomach, and " little more grape free
