There was considerable activity on the
levee, yesterday, with the usual number of
arrivals. The Charmer had big trip of
people, up, butia short freight list.......The
j. P. Webb had over one hundred hogs
heads of tobacco, and some other freight,
and a fair trip of people. She had good
lot of orders, and some of our wholesale
houses were busy yesterday packing goods

agement......... The David White discharged
a few packages here, and had a moderate
fair trip for Louisville.......The VIM. White
came in from Green River full of tobacco,
and with lots of people. She is de-
servedly popular boat in Green River.......
The Liberty No. 2 had not as good a
freight list as usual, which we impnte to
the deforrnity of her bills which she had
printed at Louisville or New Albany. She
had good passenger list, and Captains
Archer and Judge were luminous. The
Charmer was filling up quite handsomely
yesterday afternoon, and would go out
pretty well loaded.........W We were surprised
and delighted by call yesterday from our
much cherished and highly agreeable
friend, w. I'll. Hampton, Clerk of the lone
tree Carrie, who came here from Nashville
by the J. r. Webb. He is in splendid
health and spirits, and feels very much at
home in Evansville. He informs US that
Capt. Dan. NJ Brady, of the Carrie, is as
rotnnd and jolly as ever. but frets some
what at being out of the world, and longs
10 see Evansville and take some Christian
cheer once again. When In these moods
nc bites his finger nails, which are
eaten of half way to his elbows. Cap
tain Hampton leaves this morning
for Pittsburg, where he has ordered new
set of double flued to take the place of the.
tubulars now in use by the Carrie. He
says the greatest luxury they enjoy ON the
Alabama River is the JOURNAL, which
reaches there regularly. The Carrie plies
between Mobile and Montgomery, and
is doing well..........The Curlew and News
Boy will, ON Tuesday night, carry persons
desiring to attend the Festival at Hender-
son down in the evening and return them
the same night.......,The J. t. McCombs
