Miscellaneous.
There was but little business done yester-
day, comparatively, ON the ievee..-.The
Phantom got in during the night, but as
we could not find any of her officers, we
were unable to ascertain what she brought.
.........The Altoona arrived at nine o'clock
seven days out from Cincinnati, with a
fine trip on herself and barge. She dis
charged some freight here. The Altoona
broke some of her machinery between
Cincinnati and Louisville, and after re-
pairing got aground at Flint Island, and
stayed there day or two. She and the
Tarascon got off about two o'clock on
Monday. The Mary Swan was still hard
and fast The Tigress was lying below the
bar, and would get over, the Tarascen and
Altoona being out of the way....-..The J. p.
Webb at noon had all the freight she
wanted, being filled with corn, flour, and
corn-meal. She left early in the after
noon, loaded to three feet large, and will
be able to get through The Nashville
was receiving considerable freight, 1nclud-
ing considerable amount of Andy John
son whisky, the peculiar characteristic of
which is to make a man drunken and
drunken the more he drinks of it, but
highly suitable to the taste of the
peGceGbte Democrats of New Orleans -
Capt. John B. Hall was engaged yesterday
in rigging his stages on his wharf boat. He
is warm in his eulogies of Lavender and
the dry docks.-......The J. Baker left for
Green River with a moderate trip.... Col
Gutherie, Supervising Inspectors advises |
us that he is detained at Cairo and Mem |
phis, but will be here on Thursday and Fri |
day at the office of Geo. Stackhouse, when |
he will attend to the interests of steam |
boat owners, pilates, engineers, &c.........The |
bars opposite the upper part of the city are |
beginning to assume great proportions. |
The huge bar is still nearer shore than it |
was last year, and there is a good channel |
between it and the fiat bar in the middle |
ofthe river We propose, with the assis-
lance of Commodore Mitchell, to investi-
gate this new channel......... We suggest TO
the City Council the propriety of making
water works on the wharf, so that the ex-
act stage of water may be readily as
certained. Such an arrangement,
we think entirely feasible, and it
would be a great convenience. ......
A dispatch from New Albany to the Gin
cinnati Times of Monday evening saws a
report prevailed in that city on Monday
that DIR. C. L. Green, the. veteran Mail
Agent on the Rose Hite, died of cholera on
right between Louisville and
this city. We don't believe a word of it.
DIR. Green was here all right at o'clock
evening. The same dispatch also
says that James Robinson alias Ryan, who
robbed Capt. Jim Lusk on Monday night
vile Jail on Saturday. If so, it was only
the penitentiary ola victim.
