nation in business on the levee, and such
will be the status until there occurs gen.
eral thaw. We thought at midnight of
Thursday the river would close by morn
ing, as the massive fields of ice stretched
from shore to shore. and moved very
slowly, indicating gorge below. But yes
terday morning the gorge was still NOV
ing, though no boat could possibly pass
through it 1.-THE Virginia did not go
out, or attempt to go to Green River, hut
lies here with the David Watts Laura Fem
ton, Chattanooga, Louisa and J. Baker,
We were shown note to Ragon & Dickey
from the Phantom. That boat is froze up
at West Franklin, and as soon as the ice
will permit, she will return to this city and
take new start.......-The Quickstep, we
are told, is laid up opposite Mt. Vernon.
.......We have heard it rumored the Lib
erty No.2, was also laid up and frozen in.
We rather doubt it, as Capt. Archer was
determined to go out at every hazzard.......-
