Armada Cairo. 1'
The river is rising very slowly at this |
point, and has reached again the point
from which it lately commenced falling.
The weather continues clear and mild,
with indications of a speedy rain, which,
however, may blow over.
AZ cincinpati-and Pittshnrg the-riYer
is at stand, and the weather is clear
and warm. There were scarcely any
boats in these waters yesterday.
The Big Grey Eagle did not get down

had a magnificent trip, leaving large
quantities Of goods at all points along
the route She returned to Louisville

o'clock last night with fine trip She
returned to Louisville about midnight
The Armada went ont at noon with all
the freight she could carry on the water,

saw her look finer then at present.
We find the following in the Louis
vile Journal.of Wednesday relative to
the suspension of navi .ation, on Green
and Barren rivers:
The late disaster Of Lock No 2 by the
| giving way Of the bl. !: wall has in
duced the public to bell 9 that naviga-
ton will be suspended for some length of
time But the Superintendent at Rum
sey informs us that by an arrangement
with the steamboat men transportation
will be kept up by one boat on the Rum
sey pool and by other boats below, SO
that shippers may rely upon having their
freight left, as usual, at any points
along Green and Barren rivers at
very little additional expense. At
Rumsey the goods will have to be. hauled
above the lock, and a steamboat will be
ready there to receive them. If the riy-
ers do not too high the ock win soon be
repaired and put in good order; so that
boats can resume thrir 9gular trips.
The scarcity of labor a!,. IS high price
are evils that cannot br controlled with
out calling upon the military, resort at
all times to be deplored
