We clip the following mistakes
from the Louisville Democrat of Sun
day, merely to show our people how
well posted the poet River editor is
The Virginia left Evansville Fri
day for New Orleans. 4ri l
No, she didn't.
The harbor Of Evansville is open,
snow thawing, and ice scarce and
rotten.
No it isn't.
Mr.. Carol, second clerk of the
Virginia, sung Pat. Malloy at the
theatre in Evansville, few nights
ago by request 1m as
Heinever did it. r. la5s.es q
The Evansville and Cairo packets
have resumed their regular trips.
Not very muchly. The Sam. Orr
is frozen in here tight and fast. The
Armada is at Dutch Bend, and
can't come up, and the Charmer is
laid up at Paducah.
The Norman put off 900 bales of
cotton at Evansville on Thursday and
left for this port.
Nary leave She is frozen in tight
as wax at this port.
1t is reported that skiff upset op-
posite Newburgh, Indiana, few days
ago. Thirteen men, who were In it,
were thrown out and drowned.
1t may have been reported, but is
not true.
The Silver Moon was at Hawes-
vile, Thursday, bound for Memphis.
No, she wasn't.
ST. LOUIS. Democrat. of Mon
day, says:
A gorge in the Missouri, above St.
Charles, gave way, and that stream
rose rapidly during few hours. The
ice and rise have passed this point.
The ice was very heavy. There was
little ice of any kind running past last
evening. The river here rose all day
Saturday, fell two inches Saturday
night and three inches yesterday. AL
though there is doubtless no ice in the
river here this morning. our river
communication in every direction is
cut off by ice. Much of it is bridged
between this point, and Cairo. The
weather has again been intensely cold.
Steamboats, are at our wharf ready to
leave with full cargoes, but circum-
stances will not permit If there is
no freshet in the Mississippi the COM
ing Spring, it will not be for want of
snow. There is enough above here to
raise the Mississippi hundred feet, if
it should all melt rapidly.
MEMPHIs.-The Commercial and
Argus of Sunday says: aa
The river yesterday rose very fast,
probably 30 inches during the past "a
hours. and in consequence the river
is clear OF ice, or nearly so. A mar
row strip still drops down the eastern
bank, but in such rotton condition
as to afford no obstruction to naviga-
ton.
The weather yesterday morning was
quite pleasant, the sun shining warm
and cheerfully. The night before
quite storm of wind and rain visited
US, making the streets little muddy,
but if the sun had continued to shine
all would have been well; but about
10 o'clock AN. the clouds obscured
the sunshine, and the thermometer
dropped to about 400, which was so
sudden that oVercoats and furs were
soon brought into great demand by
promenaders.
Business still continues rather ac-
tive on the levee As the ice is gone
and no danger apprehended by the
boatmen or underwriters at present,
nearly all the boys that have been ly-
ng up for some days at the levee will |
slip cable and resume their regular
rips. A
New ORLEANs.-The Times, of
says: tl
The temperature of the atmosphere
was rather close, and the
appearance Of the sky betokened rain.
It however didn't rain any up to
lark, but damp night was expected
Business on the landing yesterday,
vas more active than on the former
lay, there were fair number OF de-
,artures, all of which appeared. to be
loing a good business, several of the
,oats that left, were guards in the
water.
