1AI5 Miscellaneous.
Our harbor is again open, and the
familiar whistle of steamboats, is again
heard in these waters. Navigation
may be said to be permanently re-
sumed, and the indications now are
that no disastrous food need be ap-
prehended.........The snow is melt
ing rapidly without rain.........
The ice in the river is less
abundant and quite rotten...... 49,.
The Sam. Parker came up yesterday
morning from Mt. Vernon, expe-
riencing but little difficulty and no
damage. She has 600 bales of cotton
for this port. Her cotton for ports
above she left on her barges opposite
ShawneetoWn, to wait on improve
ment in navigation. She will go to
Little Hurricane Island this morning
for one of her barges, caught by the
Liberty No. 4, and will return here and
probably load for New Orleans.........
The Silver Moon passed down for
Memphis at o'clock yesterday morn
ing with full trip. She expects no
further trouble......The Henry Ames
reached this port yesterday at noon,
eight days out from Portland. She
has big trip, and added somewhat
here. Her officers are exceedingly
clever gentlemen. Geo. A. Williams,
so well and favorably known in the
Louisville and Henderson packet
trade, is her chief clerk. Among her
passengers we had the pleasure of
meeting Mr. e. O'Bannon, late of the
Louisville Hotel, who started to New
Orleans on pleasure trip, but has
seen but little of the pleasure yet.
The Ames would probably get off last
night, and would be full as she could
be packed.........The Virginia dropped
down alongside of r K. Dunkerson
& Co.'s wharf boat, and is rapidly
loading for New Orleans The wharf
is covered with freight, and she will
be unable probably to take all that
offers. The David Watts was re-
ceiving nice trip Neutrality-suspicious.
Mitchell left for the mouth of Green
River yesterday with dispatches, order
ing the Charmer to come to the wharf
and prepare to resume her trips. 49,.
The Armada and Liberty No 2 may
be looked for to-day with large car
goes of cotton. Whether the Liberty
will go through to Louisville or not
this trip we are not advised 1.-The
Laura Fenton and Louisa were cut
ting out of the ice yesterday......The
Indiana was announced positively to
leave Louisville yesterday for New
Orleans. She may be expected to-
