terday. Weather fine, although a little
rain il the morning. Competition
among the mountain boats is warm, but
so far, they have held up pretty wen for
what they consider Just rates. The rates
would be much lower if there could be
assurance OF good water, 80 that they
could take more freight or 0e certain OF
making the round "Trip without extraOr-
binary trouble. AS it is, these boats
have no certainty whatever Of clearing
expenses with freight even at eight, nine
or ten cents per pound. shipments were /
active in the Columbus packet for the
interior, on the Memphis packet, but
lauquid to Vicksburg and New Orleans.
There are orders sufficient in the hands
of merchants to Dad a number of boats
for the southern states, but prices are too
high. II will be seen from this, that the
opening Of this river to Dubuque and be-
yOnd, will be a blessing. A crowd Of
~emigrants come in now and sgsin from
the Ohio, to fill Missouri river steamers, I
but freight for these boats is scaTeer even
then eVQeated.

The old gUnbOat, Anglo Saxon, passed
down last evening. some one suggested
that she was about fourteen years old, /
and a gunCO8r during the war, at which
heT officers became very indignant, and
talked like whipping somebody. The

tin clad and q broad horn, rushed out at
the head of his crew, swearing ven

The faVOrite steamer, Robert e. Lee,
came to our wharf early yesterday, hav-
ing made, as Capt. Richardson y a
slow run from New Orleans. This great
packet continues to be, as she deserves,
the great center of attraction, being Wis
tied all day yesterday by ladies fair with
their cavaliers. To day 20 DOUBT she
will also he erlwdeG by the lovers of
beautiful designs and splendid architec-
ture. Capt. Richardson has been for
years a favOrite with our people, and we
think the ladies only pretend to want to
see the Lee just to shake hands with the
gallant captain. In the office will be
found a genial trio of gentlemen, Messrs.
Smith, McFay and Dinwiddie-aIl pop-
ular, having hosts Of personal friends
and increasing the number every trip.

The Great Republic is expected to be
in port at an early hour tomorrow,
when Capt. Donaldson will, we hope,
throw open her cabins for ali who wish
to visit them. Many persons were dis
appointed ON her down trip because they
were net permitted to inspect closely the
very magnificent calm of this steamer.
A great number of ladies were among
her passengers, many of whom had suf-
fered by the crowd which foeked on
board at Pittsberg and Cincinnati, and,
it is said, picked up.ell valuables found
laying srOund loose. We are satisfied
that no such losses would have occurred
here, but the large number of people
were anxious TO ste her would have
seriously incOmmOded her passengers.
There will be no cause for complaint on
her arrival up, as all will be permitted
to look through this most beautiful float
ing palace 70 their hearts content
Donaldson made a name for eour-
tesy on the IndiaHa and Dictator, which
