LouIsvILLB, March 27-River rising
slowly with 6 feet 9 inches in the canal.
Weather clear. Mercury 49,
1.-The weather yesterday was warm
and pleasant. Light feecy clouds fioated
laziiy in the sky, behind which the sun
would dart now aud then causing shadows
to chase each other in quick succession
over the surface of the ground. 1t was a
dreamy spring day, and animals and birds
seemed to partake of general indisposition
to move about quickly.
.--.. Business on the levee was moderate
~ active. But little freight had accumulat-
ed on the landing but several boats crews
were busily employed in receiving and dis
charging their cargoes.
1.-THE Dunbar left at her usual honr
with a light trip of passengers and freight.
Mr. Taylor, her gentlemanly clerk, furnished
US with late Paducah papers for which we
thank him.
......The Gen. D. NJ. White arrived last
night from White and Wabash river, with
fall load. She is the first boat " hich has ven
tured into White river for many years.
Capt Lancaster informs us that he will
leave again for that stream on Friday even
ing. Shippers will please bear it in mind.
....'.Several Wabash boats were at the
ievee yesterday. Bushes. in that stream
appears to be quite dull. This is owing, no
doubt, to the feaIs of the farmers on its
borders who are unwilling to ship their pro-
duce South duriag the present excitement.
THE Callope Grey Eagle, " revised,
approved and corrected" will be down this
evening. She has been subjected to thor
ough overnauling, has been reprinted, and
we have no doubt looks as 6ne as a WOMAN.
Capt Donnelly with clerk Lusk will be
happy to book all their old friends who
may desire to go to Louisville tonight.
Any freight consigned to their care will
also be looked after and promptly delivered.
by an advertisement in another col
umn, it win be seen that Capt. Scott has de-
termined on putting his boat in White River
to run permanently in that trade. Capt.
Scott had his boat fitted up expressly for
this trade and if our peopIG give him the
proper support he will bring no little bust
ness from that section of country to our
city.
THE Louisville Courier of Tuesday
furnishes the following river items
The river was still falling yesterday,
though rather slowly, with six feet seven
inches water iu the pass. During the pre-
vious twenty-four hours the river had fall
on three inches at the wharf and nine
inches at Portland. The weather is warm
and variable, with several light showers of
rain yesterday.
We hear it rumOred that the David Ia
tum is also to be placed in the trade hence
to st. Louis. There is line of bosts ply
ing between Cincinnati and ST. Louis, con-
sistiHg of the Cheesman Lehigh, Emma
Duncan, Sunny Side, and Lebanon.
= Collision OF THE J. A GOTTEN AND
LoUIsvILLE-THE LATTER CRIPPLED.-B
dispatches received last evening from
Vicksburg, we learn that the J. A. Gotten,
bound down. and the Louisville, coming up
came into collision yesterday morning at
Pawpaw Island, in the Mississippi, twenty
miles above Vicksburg. The Gotten was
unininred, but the Louisville had her wheel
demolished or knocked down. The dis
patch states that the Gotten ran into the
Louisville.
The latter was probably just coming up
out of the chute Just as the Gotten came
down the bend of the river the course of
the two boats being almost at right angles,
and they must have been very close tOgeth-
er before they were observed. The Louis
vile is probably coming up on one wheel.
It is an unfortunate accident, as she was
making very good time on a business trip.
