From The Gozetfe, Of Yesterday.
The river was receding slowly at this
point last evening, with fifteen feet in
the channel. The weather yesterday
was raw and unsettled, and considera-
BILE rain fell during the fternoon. Tel
egrams from Oil City report the ice as
having commenced moving in Oil
Creek, and we have no doubt but that
the Allegheny by to-day, will be open
all the way up TO that point. A good
many oil barges and fats have already
been carried of down this stream, and
should it open all the way up, we ex-
pect to see the number largely in
creased. -r..-r--.. ....I
Capt. Robert Greenlee, one of our
oldest steRmboatmen, has taken charge
OF the Leonidas, Capt. MCGOWAN being
on the sick list. The Leonidas has
the ice to rur out to take her departure
for New Orleans, and she may possibly
have got out last night. She has en-
gagements below.
Mr.. r. II. Porter has retired from the
office of the Maggie Hays. and is sue
in command of Capt. d. L. Hendricks
son, is filling up rapidly for Cincinnati,
and Will probably get out this evening.
1t seems that Capt. Andy Beers who
was to have gone out clerk on the Kate
Robinson, has backed out, and accepted
pOSltlOn IenuereO MIN Dy one OF our
iron houses. Capt. Robinson was
thinking yesterday of taking charge OF
the Office himself, and putting Captain
Marsh Hays on the hurricane roof. al
all events She will leave Wednesday for
New Orleans, and passengers and ship
pers GhouId bear this in mind.
The Monongahela river was full oi
floating ice all day yesterday, but we
are of the opinion that it will be pretty
well run out by to-day. The damage
by the break up so far as we have been
able to learn, has been comparatively
light, nothing like what was generally
predicted, and nothing like it would
have been, had the suow been taken of
suddenly by a heavy rain. tt,.'-@E
