Miscellaneous Business continues good on the

the South.. The Melnotte had full load for
herself and q barge, and would probably leave

-four and 500 bales of hay. She had large lot of
poultry and about 1, 900 brls of iour......Ihs
Tarascon, detained by fog two nights, did not
get down until O'Clock yesterday morning. She
had a good trip, but was not by any means full.
The Darling had 600 bales of cotton and
good trip of people for Cincinnati......The Caro-
lire was full Of cotton fer the same port......Ths
Charmer had moderate trip up yesterday morn
ing, aad went out full. She was nearly on time,
notwithsta nding the fog........The J. T. McCombs
was IL or Is hours behind time, In consequences
I a Il of her

erty No. picked up a snag and broke one of her
wheels She and the Morning Star are both be-
hind time, but were expected during the night

arrivals for that route may be soon expected.....
The Tyrone having been relieved by the General
| Anderson-which has been made almost new-in
the Cairo and Columbus trade. passed up last
AIght in search of new field of operations. She
should be put in the trade between New Albany
and Louisville, to do the immense carrying Of dry
goods and groceries from the former to the latter
| city........We had the unspeakable pleasure yes
terday OF meeting our elegant and accomplished
friend, Capt. Joe BInce, late Superin tendent of
| the Louisville and Henderson Packet Line. He is
/ locking very fine, and expresses some doubt OF
the policy of withdrawing the Star and Tarascon
from the Louisville and Henderson line. Captain
Joe has more steamboat sense than half of Louis
/ Vile, with New Albany thrown in.
The Courier of yesterday says:
The John I. McCombs came down aud returned
| to Louisville. She is one of the ''regulars.'
The Liberty No. 2 passed up on her way to Lou
| svills. She took on a lot of freight and passen-
| gers.
At the head of the river column, the Courier
gives notice that 1t is ga live paper, aud Its river
intelligence full and reliable" AS the McCombs
did not arrive until 10 O'Clock yesterday and the
Liberty had not arrived at O'Clock last night
its boast of reliability be judged CT. Better
not boast, neighbour; the btst of us make mistakes
| sometim SEVEN do.
