CINcINNATI.-The Commercial of
Sunday says:
The ice was heavier yesterday, oc-
casional cakes extending nearly from
shore to shore. During the alter
noon a huge cake hit the stern of the
Silver Moon when her lines pulled
out the ring-bolt on the levee. The
same field of ice struck the General
Buell., parting her lines, together with
the chain Of the Mail Line wharf
boat. Coming up from Louisville, the
ice cut through the iron sheathing
and heavy timbers in the starboard
bow of the United States, above the
water line. The United States re-
ports one loaded coal barge and one
empty coal barge lodged on the bar
opposite Taylorsport, 10 miles below
Cincinnati.
Capt. Thos. w. Rea, formerly of
the, Wayerly, Deer Lodge, and other
mountain boats, and the pioneer of
the Fit. Benton trade, is here. He
has purchased the little Success, for
$15, 1000, and will load and leave Gin
cinnati for the Rocky Mountains,
about the 1st of March.
LoyIsvILLE.-The Courier of Sun
dav says:
On the falls this evening there were
four and half feet water In the pass,
and falling fast, with very consider
able increase in the quality and den
sity of the floating ice in the river.
The evening previous the ice was
not very heavy, but the cold weather
yesterday morning hardened it quite
fast, and has, we learn, prevented the
mailboat from this port, the United
States, arriving at Cincinnati. She
had not reached that port at 4 P. NJ.
yesterday, and the America, the
packet from here yesterday, was not
started out at all, but laid over until
to-day. There were no arrivals from
or departures to upper ports yester-
day.
MEMPHIs.-The Avalanche of Sat-
urday says:
Weather moderate. The river is
rising slowly, but will probably come
to stand to-day, with a good depth
of water. White River is stationary,
with eight feet in the channel to Au-
gusta. The Arkansas is falling slow
", with scant four feet in the channel.

WHEN THE PLANTATION BITTERs
were first ;made known to the Ameri-
can people some seven years ago. it
was supposed that they were an entirely
new thing, and had never before been
used. SO far as their general use in
the United States is concerned, this
may be true. It is also true that the
same Bitters were made and sold In the
Island of st. Thomas, over forty years
ago, as any old planter, merchant or sea
captain doipg business with the Vest
indies will tell you. 1t is distinctly
within my recollection that on the re.
turn OF my father (who was'a sea cap
tain, and doing an extensive trade In
the tropics, he would invariably have
these Bitters among the ships stores,
and our family sideboard was never
without them. For any sickness. 1t
matters not how severe or trifling, the
decanter of the Bitters, by a different
name, was always rosorted to as a SOW
ereign remedy.

The officers made commendable efforts
to preserve order, uttheir orders were
almost entirely unheeded. If there is
any way to accomplish that object, 1t
should be done without delay,-even If
the exclusion OF all parties except those
charged with offences, witnesses and
officers must be resorted TO.
Mrs. Andrew Quail had charged an
other woman with stealing money,
which was resented resolutely. The
theft was reiterated with such vehe-
mence as 10 require the aid OF an officer
to put u stop to the disorder occasioned
thereby. Mrs. Quail was arraigned and
her guilt clearly established. y fine OF
five dollars and costs was imposed.
James Dugan, charged with "produ-
cling iumult ard disorder" WAS fined

BADLY FRIGHTENED.-On Saturday
night the p,oprietors OF the freight line
between this city and bridgeport. gave
their employees an oyster supper at
Charley Bchler's on Monroe street. One
of the party while engaged in disPosing

no: noticed until too late, or. in other
words, until the oyster and its Rppen-
