RIVER AND WEATHER.

The river had risen about three inches
in the twenty -four hours ending at dark
last evening The weather yesterday was
quite warm and damp, but toward evening
the wind shifted to the north, and the
weather became considerably cooler.
From a gentleman who left Granville on
Monday, We learn that the river had risen
there eighteen inches, and that the A.
Baker expected to leave as soon as there
shall be twelve inches more Of water 10 the
river.
The Tyrone left yesterday for Cairo,
with about thirty passengers and a fair
amount Of freight, among which were So
bales of cotton for New Orleans.
The steamer Leclaire, which passed Lou
isville Saturday from Cincinnati hound for
Nashville, sunk early Sunday mOIniag op-
posite Brandenberg. She ran afoul Of
big pile of rocks and snags, and Is reported
to he broke in two. Her bow il out Of the
water some six or eight feet, while her
stern, from her boilers back, is under water.
The freight on her deck, and barge which
she had in tow, il all safe The boat will
probably prove a total loss. She was in-
sured in Pittsburg for 1000
The Memphis Post of Monday afternoon
says:
"The weather is moderating, and hopes
are entertained Of rain. The river still
continues to recede. Such a low stage Of
water at this season Of the year has not
been known for many years. Business
shows no evidence Of revival. Steam
boatmen don't look for any life in trade
until spring The Arkansas has but
twenty-eight inches Of water to Pine Bluff.
In'the White there are but three and .
half feet to Augusta"

DETECTIVES yERsUs ELopERs.

Levi Hines and Hattie Ford Arrested
i'm Observation-Disclosures for their
COsnmiIIRI-The Guilty Parties 10 he
Brought 10 Justice I'm this City, etc.
In our yesterday mornings issue we
mentioned the case of heartless desertion
by man in this city of his wife and child,
and his departure FOR other parts. Sinceour
last, additional lights have been thrown up
on the subject. The name of the man, which
we withheld at the time at the persistent
appeals of his injured wife, is Levi Hines.
His wife is a woman who bears a good
name, and as far as we can learn good
character. She is rather delicate, fragile
woman, of apparently some twenty-six
years Of age. Her heartless husband left
her in the circumstances mentioned in our
last, entirely destitute, without dollar !;
without articles to protect her shivering
form; without fuel and without bread-he
left her with nothing but a lacerated
heart and a helpless babe. On yes
terday an order was given her through
charity, for articles of sustenance.
Hines, after converting all the house
hold furniture, beds, bedding, etc, into
| cash, suddenly left the city with a no.
torious courtezan named Hattie Ford, who
| has been before the Police Court for
various offenses hundred and one times,
and whose face is as familiar there as that
of any officer of the institution, for Louis
vile, Kentucky. 1t appears that there
we're other parties besides the wfetched
wife who were interested in the where
abouts of the fugacious clippers. Among
these was John Joyce, from whom Hines
| had gotten scales and other articles and
adjuncts for his proposed new grocery.
These articles for which he had never
| paid, were included in the sale and transfer
Of the fixtures and things to the third
party who made the purchase. 1t was soon
discovered that Hines with his chaste
beauty had.taken passage on the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, for the Falls City.
Upon this knowledge it was determined TO
have the parties arrested, and the job was
entrusted to Detectives Cheathan and
Ryan. They at once telegraphed to the
chief of the detective police force at Louis
vile, describing the parties and instructing
their immediate arrest. This dispatch
had the desired effect. They were arrested
in Louisville, and telegram was sent to
this city informing the officers of the fact.
Mr. Ryan Immediately left for Louisville,
where, We learn, he took possession of the
parties. On yesterday evening warrant
and a mihimhs were issued by Justice
Mathews and placed in the hands of De-
tective Cheatham. Hines and his iRdmOrdtd
will be in the city on the four o'clock train
this morning in charge of Mr.. Ryan.
They will be taken charge of at the depot
by Detective Cheatham and delivered into
the proper legal custody. Hines will be
tried before the proper authorities for his
ohenses. Several other prosecuting war
rants have, we learn, been issued against
him by parties injured by his trsnssc
lions.
Meantime what action the injured wife
will take, or what recourse she has upon
the cha;tels sold by her faithless husband
remains TO be developed.

FAST FRETGuTI LINE.
Its Advanta&es-Rapid shipment of
Freight, etc.

aNStNhts wv.
A short time since we adverted briefly
to the fact that the Southern and South
western railroads had adopted fast freight
line, extending over most of the important
roads, and drawing into its ramifcations
the connections of diverging roads. We
now propose briefly TO glance at the great
advantages accruing from this combined
and consolidated arrangement. We regard
il az one of the most necessary and inn
portant railroad enterprises that has taken
place since the war. The principal roads
which have combined in the establishment
of this fast freight line, are the Nashville
and Chattanooga, the Nashville and
Northwestern, the Louisville and Nash
vile, Western and Atlantic, Macon and
Western, and the Georgia railroads.
The system extends from Charleston,
Sonth Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia,
and from Norfolk and Lynchburg, and all
important towns of the Southwest, to all
points on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
The railroads entering into the arrange
ment have procured cars, which are painted
green, and which are attached especially
and exclusively to this fast line. Wherever
these cars are seen, or wherever
they make connections, it is a guar
antee that whatever freight may be
shipped by them will be rushed speedily to
any point on either the Ohio or Mississippi
rivers, whence it will be hurried on to the
points of final destination. This insures
the rapid transmission of freights without
the changes of cars and detentions Incl
dent to the ordinary freight lines. All the
roads which have entered into this ar
rangement have adopted uniform rates of
freight per mile for the several classes of
freights. The green cars are quite attract
i've, and as quick as the arrangements are
perfected, which will be now very soon,
these green cars with their loads of freight
will be whirling through the South and
Southwest from the seaboard and the Gulf
to the Ohio. Its advantages will be very
readily appreciated, and shippers will soon
recognize it az to their advantage to en-
courage an enterprise originated with ex-
elusive reference to their convenience and
profit

a. Newton GOtfhold's Opening Night

l.
al the Summer Street ThesGer.
Tonight the distinguished tragedian j.
Newton Gotthold, at the request of various
citizens of Nashville, whose names APP
peared in our columns yesterday, opens
the Shakesperean festival at the Summer
Street Theater. The play selected for the
occasion is one of Shakspeare's happiest
conceptions, and one well adapted to the
very excellent company which will sustain
Mr.. q. in his renditions. Mr.. Gotthold,
from what we have seen Of him as the i'm
personation Of Hamlet Prince of Den
mark, has studied Shakespeare with pas
sionate fondness and discriminating Judge
ment. This fact, taken in connection with
his fne form, natural and easy gesticula-
ton, and strong and well modulated voice,
with his general adsptability to the stage
is sufficient 10 insure his complete success
in the part be has chosen in Romeo and
Juliet. We will be much disappointed i
the rendition of the play tonight does not
fully come up 10 any that has ever beer
given upon the stage Of Nashville.
We trust that there will be full house
at the Summer Street 'Theater tonight, a
we are sure that rare and profitable en-
tertainment will be presented.

There is nothing new to report in our
money market. Currency continues scarce,
with a continued demand on the banks for
commercial purposes. Good thirty day
bills are discounted at one per cent, and
loans are made on good collaterals, such as
bonds, gold, etc, at the same rate. Ex-
change on New York is still at &c discount,
while banks furnish it to their customers
at par.
Gold has been on almost continued de-
cline during the last week On Wednes-
day last it opened at 1855, and yesterday it
closed at 1885, having during the week
reached as low as 1873. The principal
causes which have been assigned for the
upward course of the price, viz the
threatning aspect of European politics and
the probabilities of impeachment and in
hation being sanctioned by Congress, have
now wholly disappeared, and opposite in
fluences have come into play, in a renewed
European demand for bonds, and the de
yelopment of strong sentiment in Con
gress in favor of the resumption of specie
payments, The supply of gold in the New
York market is largely increasing. The
amount of gold to be paid out by the gov-
eminent in January next will be about
$38, 100000 At the same time there is
no probability of much gold being ex-
ported. The current imports are light, and
the late heavy losses of importers have
| caused limited orders to be given in En-
rope for the spring trade. The exports of
Western produce are large in amount, and
nearly the en- lire cotton crop has to go for
ward. These considerations seem to indi-
cate downward tendency in gold. The fol-
lowing are the New York quotations OF
yesterday: Opened at 1344, was 1343 at
1880, 1345 at noon, and closed at 1880 at
I3P. NJ. The rates here were 1873 buying
1344 selling. Silver is bought at 1Oc less
than gold.
Exchange on London and Dublin is sold
at 81 per pound sterling.
There is not much inquiry for govern
ment bonds, and they may be considered
low, when we remember that the interest
on many of them will be paid on the frs
of January. The following were the quo.

WHITE CROOK IN OvERALIs.--Quite an
amusing little incident occurred on yester-
day near the corner Of Church and Union
streets. A gentleman from the country,
accompanied by his little son, lad Of
about twelve years of age, was at that
locality when one of the plasterers al the
Maxwell House came out and walked
acroes the stree, enveloped in a large rub
ber overall. IL was a new garb 20 the
little urchin, who cried out "Pa, what is
that?7 pointing to the man. The old
gentleman replied by saving. "Oh hush,
son ~ One Of our most eminent divine7
happened TO he passing just at the time
and the boy, not satisfied, said TO the min
lister, " Say, what il that again pointing
TO the man in the overall. The minister
smiled and answered, "Why, son, that's the
White Crock" greatly TO the amusement
of several who overheard the reply.

Nashville wholesale Drysoods Trade.

NASHVILLE, Dec. II, 1867.
The wholesale trade of Nashville, which
was its chief commercial attraction before
the war, has risen with renewed vigor, and
is attracting the trade of all the interior
towns. The wholesale men of Nashville
are active and foresighted merchants, and
began the trade with the full knowledge
that in order to succeed they would have
to compete with New York prices, with
freight added. This they are doing, and
we do not believe any merchant with small
capital can make the value of his travel
ing expenses by passing our market and
going to New York or Boston. The trade
has not been so active for the past week as
in the earlier part of the season, and our
quotations show decline on several styles
of goods. We quote;

ANOTHER ROBBERY on BROAD STREET
THIRTY DOLLARS ABsTRACTED FROM
MONEY DRAwER.-From the frequency of
robberies which occur on Broad street it
would seem that there is an organized
band Of sdroit thieves in that locality, who
have reduced rascality to systematic sci.
ence Scarcely week passes but one or
more robberies occur on that street
On Monday the money drawer of Mr.. ].
NJ. Walker, who does business at No. "a
Broad street, near Cherry, was robbed of
thirty dollars in greeubacks. Mr.. Walker
was absent at the time, leaving two boys
in charge of the store and the $50 in the
money drawer. Shortly after he lefl
wagon drove up to the store and one of
the boys went ont TO buy some articles.
Several men had been in and out Of the
store in the meantime. Mr.. W. returned
lust after the boy had concluded the pur
chases at the market wagon. He vert 10
the drawer to get some change, when to
his surprise he found every dollar of the
money had been distracted. The thief
had very adroifly opened the drawer,
taken the money and sloped, leaving no
sign as TO who he was or whittier he went.
The money has not been recovered, nor
has any clue been afforded to the thief.
There should be some early and stringent
investigations made in that quarter, and
if possible this thieving suppressed.

INDIANS VS.. HORSES. There are two
swift footed Indians at the st. Charles
Hotel. They are of the Chippewa tribe
and are from Toronto, Canada. Their
names are @Smoke" and "Deerfoot." The
white man who has them in charge pro-
pose betting that they can ont run any
horse any distance from three to twenty
miles. These aberigines may have an
opportunity of.putting their speed to the
tes. before they leave the city.
