1.-The Weather was very wet during
the day, the rain at times pouring down in
torrents. After dark the rain ceased, and
the wind blew furiously. The River rose
rapidly during the day and night previous,
averaging over an inch an hour.
Business, in consequence of the rain, was
a little dull, but more active than We should
have imagined. s. . So
1.-THE Fanny BulIitt will, we under
stand, be at the landing to-day receiving
freight for New Orleans. We trust she may
be favored with good lot of freight
1.-THE gallant Dunbar is the Paducah
and Coast packet to-day at her usual hour
l O'Clock. We trust she may be greeted
with full load.
1.-The Charley Bowen left yesterday
with an excellent trip-one of the best of
the season. She also had 1000 bags of
corn engaged below.
1.-THE D. g. Campbell had very good
load on departing for Mt. Carmel last night.
1.-The fine steamer Union, commanded
by Capt. Geo. Sutton, will make regular
trips up the Wabash this season. This boat
is one of the finest crafts that runs the
river, and makes altogether the best time.
Her officers are all clever and accommodate
ing gentlemen, and spare no pains to make
their passengers comfortable. The Union
is now lying above the dam, and will pass
down as soon as the ice gives way.-Mt.
Carmel Register.
We see by the dispatches that the
Governor of the Independent State OF Mis-
sissippi is TO have artillery on the Chicka-
saw Bluffs, at Vcksburg to bring to all
passing river crafts. We suppose the object
IS to purify the boats Of Abolition docu-
ments.-LOu. Courier.
...... The James Montgomery, in repair
again, was at Cairo Friday evening seeking
for another load fer New Orleans. South
ern freghts, including corn, were arriving
in vast amounts by rail, and no doubt the
Montgomery would soon get load
FISE Boat FOR SALE-The Jas. Woods,
a large staunch boat, admirably adapted for
the carrying and cotton trade, is to be sold
by the United States Marshal at Nashville
tomorrow. She is a new boat, and can
carry 1000 bales of cotton, and would
prove superior Doat for the Memphis and
New Orleans trade.
