The continued bad weather serves
to depress business on the levee, and
but little freight is offering. The
Sam. Orr was getting good packet
trip......The Quickstep was not re-
ceiving largely, but would have a fair
trip......The Petrolia brought in a lot
of " drowned corn from the Wa
bash. She received a small lot of
freight for her return trip.........The
Michigan, a small stern wheeler,
came up from below yesterday. We
did not learn her ,destination.....We
were mistaken in saying that the VIM.
White had been laid up. She return
ed to Green River last night, and

ty of water for him to drinks de-
termined to continue his trips, and
accommodate the people along Green
River as long as there is a chimney
top above water.......Capt. Gus. Du-
souchet received yesterday the follow
ing dispatch, dated
CAIRO, March 6.

derwriter goes up Immediately to

out of the river upon the bank, and
will be readily raised. We do not
expect Capt Dugan to pick her
bones" yet awhile.........The Armada

Citizens, $4,000; Firemens', $4,000;
Crescent, $4,000; American, $4,000;
