The river was at stand here last ev-
ening and will probably be found declin-
ing to-day, as it was falling at Louisville
and thence to Pittsburg yesterday.
There were large quantities of freight
shipped yesterday, principally, however,
on Government account.
The Swallow took large lot of oats
from this port and departed for Nash
vile, intending to fill out with corn be-
low.
The Carrie got in early yesterday
morning, and took some eight hundred
barrels of flour, shipped by Quartermas-
ter Ehrman on Government account and
filed out with private freight She left
about nine clock last night.
The Leni Leoti came in from a corn
pile stored full of Government freight,
and left for Nashville.
The Mamie arrived here from Nash
vile and departed to a corn pile to re-
load with Government stores.
The grand Armada with her elegant
ornament over her pilot-house, looks
most charming. She fecthed up big
trip both of freight and passengers and
left at three o'clock yesterday.
The Nevada, loaded with Government
freight for Nashville, passed down,
The Charley Bowen, the high-headed
and highly popular pioneer of the Evans
vile and Cairo Packet Line, came
up yesterday from the Bone-yard to the
landing, and left yesterday evening for
her new scene of duty. There were
many expressions of regret at seeing
the gallant little Bowen take her depart
ure, never perhaps to revisit our waters
again. We doubt not she will win new
triumphs in her new trade.
The gorgeous Big Grey Eagle came
into port grandly last evening, with a
large quantity of freight and crowd OF
passengers, and was landed by Tom
Dauley alongside the wharfboat as
gently as if he had been laying an in
/ FAINT in its cradle. We never see the
Big Grey Eagle but our admiration Of
her fair proportions is increased.
The pride of the Green River trade
the beautiful r.. X. Darkerson, came in
from Green River last night with a small
quantity of freight, but with many pas
sengers She will return to Rumsey this
evening, at six o'clock, and passenger!
