| b The river at this point has been falling
for the last thirty hours, and since noon
yesterday quite rapidly, and is almost
entirely clear of floating ice.
AT Cinsinnati and Pittsburg the river
is rising sharply, with eleven feet by the
pier mark at the latter place, and by to-
morrow, at the farthest, it will be found
rising here, no doubt.
The rush of boats from above, thai
commenced at 10 o'clock on Thursday
night, continued until morning, and will
doubtless be continued for several DAYS,
as a large humber of boats are announced
as leaving Louisville, Cincinnati and
Pittsburg. AZ
The D, 6. Taylor, from New Orleans
for Cincinnati, left large lot of sugar
and molasses here for Bement & Veile,
and proceeded on her way with the larg-
est trip, perhaps, that has passed up
since the rebellion began.
The Gen. Anderson arrived from Cairo
about 2 or 3~o'clock yesterday morning,
with light trip.
Although she is. regdIarly advertised
for Tuesday and Friday She laid over
until to-day, in order to go out with the
Armada, which is the regular Saturday
packet, and goes out on her advertised
day. -
They will no doubt go out hot, and
again make trial of their relative speed.
We hope they viii settle permanently
the question before either-is blown up.
F. The Bowen arrived about 4 o'clock
yesterday morning, and at once com
menced to take freight for below, which
she continued to do until 3 o'clock and
was then obliged to refuse freight after
it was hauled down, for want of room.
She had also good crowd of passengers,
another evidence of the popularity of
Capt. Vaughn and Sorenson.
q The majestic Big Grey Eagle put in
her appearance about 2 o clock yesterday
afternoon, and has evidently lost none of
her grace and beauty since the freeze
Capt Lusk and Maj. O'Bannon looked
brilliant as garden of roses, and it was
manifest the leisure and pleasure they
have enjoyed during the blockade, have
not in the least deteriorated their santa
ry condition. They were greeted with a
warm welcome by their hosts of friends
here.
/ The Eagle took, great amount of
freight on her return trip.
/ { The tow-boats Webster and Eagle
passed down with large tow of coal,
each. ---
Frank Y. Bachelor beautiful Darling
arrived from Cincinnati, about 4 o clock,
with magnificent trip for Memphis.
The Captain is one,of the most gallant
gentlemen, and his Darling one of the
6andsomest crafts afioat. long may
they wave.
The Ecko No 2 went to Spotsville but
was unable to get through the locks OF
to transfer her freight, and returned tC
this city last evening, Captain Harrow
will probably store his freight here anc
return to Louisville.
The Cordelia Ann was loaded last
evening to her utmost capacity and got
off about dark for Nashville. II I
Remember the grand Armada, Capt
5 bJosh v. .Throop, with Fred Huston, as
sisted by Perry McGrif and lack Tay
Tor in the Office, viii be the regular mai
and passenger packet for Cairo, at i
o'clock this noon. Billy mcclure
will, with the assistance and lco-opera
tion-o Alex. Howell, and other associ
ates, put her through safely and OF
j g double quick.
We presume the Gen. Anderson vii
either lead or follow the Armada out to
day She has prime passenger accom-
modatiohs and extraordinary speed
8 The great Atlantic from Louisville ar
rived at New Orleans on the 18th, witt
an immense trip Of both passengers ant
freight. She was to have left that por
for this on the oath inst The Atlantic
on her down trip was detained by fog
which caused her to be so long on tn
J trip, A passenger who was on her write
that there were numerous reports of guel
rillas being along the river bank, bu
few were seen.
i "A gunboat expedition is said to be Fl
ting out for Red river. There are said t
e be about thirty Confederate steamers j
the Red and 0uaehita rivers. But fer
of those are gunboats, and perhaps non
are very formidable. This expedition
= attended with considerable interest, g
= it will open up large section of coul
try, and enable considerable cotton
!. get to market, provided it is not burne
; 4 by the Confedorates.
The arrivals yesterday, as will be see
n by our register, were quite large, and a
' the boats were loaded to their utmost CT
q paeity.
The Hetty Gilmore came in last nigh
