Thursday Morning, An

CRESCENT OFFICE, No, q4 CAMP STREET,
Thursday Morning. August Is 1866. !
The cheated termn continues. Yesterday was
an exceedingly warm day.
Business on the levee was undoubtedly dull.
The arrivals and departures were few in number.
The Mepham had not made her appearance up
to the time of our leaving the landing. She will
however be ready this morning to receive, and
leaves again tomorrow for Memphis, Cairo and
st. Louis.
The Mic Longworth will also be in port to-day
and return to Louisville on Saturday next
Capt j. T. Burdeau, yesterday, purchased the
low pressure steamer ]. W. Hancox, sunk some
days since about four miles below the city. Capt.
Burdeau will at once commence to raise her. The
price paid was $il0O.
As we write, heavy clouds are rising, which has
raised the wind, and made it extremely disagree
able on the levee, blowing the dust in all direc.
tons. We are in hopes that in our next report
we may be able to say that we have had glorious
shower of rain. It is very much needed, not only
to lay the dust, but to fill cisterns of which q
great many in the city have become dry.
PERsoEAL.-We had the pleasure, yesterday, Of
meeting our old friend Capt. Ben. B. Kouns, who
has just returned from trip to the West, looking
in perfect health. He informs us that he will
shortly have his light draft packets Pioneer Era
and Fanny Gilbert on the track to Red River.

clear and pleasant all day. The thermometer

1 On the falls last evening there were only nine
teen inches of wates in the pass down the Indian

There is rise in the upper waters of TIL
Allegheny, which may reach pittsburg, and lie

At present Pittsburg Is inaccessible TO all rive
crafts bigger than a skiff or a dug.out,
Business at the wharf was rather dull yestel
T dpy, with but little freight moving to or fror
boats in port.
