r. miscellaneous. oo
The faces of steamboatmen frightened
mp little yesterday, and prospects of i'm
proved navigation were improved. The
levee continues crowded with freight, and
tonnage is scarce except for Memphis .... ...~..
The Liberty continued TO receive large lots
of freight all day, including a large amount
of packet freight, in the absence of any
boat belonging to the Packet Company.
She would hardly get off before the arri-
val of the train last night She was frozen
in the shore ice yesterday, which served to
protect her from damage by floating ice.......
The Quickstep returned from qLockhart's
Point yesterday, wheresshe took l, 900 sacks
of corn, at 45c. for New Orleans. She re-
ceived considerable freight here, and had
a good trip out.......The j. III. Groesbeck
came up from New Orleans full of cotton,
sugar. &C., and, after coaling, proceeded to
Cincinnati.........T The Chattanooga arrived
from Cumberland River about o'clock
yesterday, having forced her 4 way
through the Z gorge s near the 1 Will
lows. She has a Slim trip. She
will have dispatch for a return trip.
Commodore's beautiful propeller Min
young,is again at the wharf. She has had
a busy time in Green River since the freeze
up....-..The Kenton having resheeted her
bows, was getting ready to proceed on her
way to Cincinnati and Pittsburg yesterday
........The st. Cloud was to go to New
burg last evening for a lot of hay, and fill
out here to-day and leave for Memphis......
Some of the. crew of the Kenton who
dumped " her at Memphis, came on here
and attached her, 1t has just been decid-
ed in st. Louis that such conduc Is mutt
ny, and number of jumpers have been
sent to prison for such conduct. An ex-
ample of the kind in this city would have
a good inf1uence....-..The crowded state of
our river column compels us to postpone
any synopsis of the report of the Super
vising inspectors for the present. .-l

Editors Journal:
This morning is clear, cold and bracinga
On Sunday night snow fell to the depth of
three or four inches, and continued to fall
at intervals all day yesterday, but this
morning everything is lively and serene.
Last Saturday morning the steamer :. Ma
son. departed for Mt. Carmel, to bring up
Fox & McDowell's pork, since which time
we have heard nothing from her; but we
have learned, incidentally, that the slack
water above the dam has contracted ice for
some miles above, so as to render it i'm
possible for the Mason " to get up to her
but perhaps they may manage
to get the pork up to the steamer in
wagons. The IS Mate " is due from above,
with corn for Johnson & Bristol DID,
The last we heard from the Advance she
was not advancing very "muchly." She
was lying near the mouth of the Wabash
awaiting farther Developments in the re-
of navigation in the Ohio
She had barge in tow loaded with pork
and lard, and the barge, from some cause or
other, sunk. Some say the Waterman went |
to sleep and neglected his business, but be
this as it may, there was good luck along |
wi the bad luck, and am glad to have
it to say, that everything was saved unin-
jured. Capt. Lancaster is an experienced |
steamboat officer, and his Clerk, Mr.. G. w.
stands at the head of his profess I
sion, and either shippers or passengers will |
be well cared for on the Advance.
The steamer Romeo Il do not know |
whether Juliet is on board or not), under
stand is running between Terre Haute and |
Covington, when the ice will permit. She |
Is a safe carrying vessel, with such efficient I
officers as Capt. Shumaker in command. |
we are virtually at the head of navigation /
here, but fail to notice the huge piles of |
cotton and other products on our wharf, as
1t Evansville. AS one of the results of the
Ice blockade, the heavy floating ice pre-
vented, for a time, any communication
with our Illinois friends: but, when we get
.he new bridge, we shall be all

Boats Leaving To-Day.
For CAIRo.-The Charmer, detained by
ice, did not get in in time to return to Cal
70 yesterday. she will therefore be the
regular Evansville and Cairo U. s. Mail
and Adams Express packet to-day, leav-
ng at 3 O'Clock. Her officers are not sur
passed in affability and attention to the
wants of their passengers by any on the
river.
FOR LoUIsvILLE.-The Louisville papers
minated on Tuesday that the Morning
star would resume her trips on Wednes-
lay, in which case she may be expected
here to-day, and will return to Louisville
his evening, Captain DOLLS fa har ,,otarox, |
