Capt c. A. bravo, Jos. Hague and
Mr.. Morrow, of A. Hartupee & Co.,
Pittsburg, the latter two owners in

the monster steamer due here on Sat-
urday. Capt. Jos. H. Williams, one
of the pilots of the Golden Era, to
New Orleans, returned yesterday. He
reports that Capt Frank Maratta, of
the Emma No. 3, while his boat was
passing the foot of Island No. SO, was
swept from the hurricane roof by the

LOUISVILLE. = The Courier of
Thursday says:
The river was rising less rapidly
last evening than during tie morning
or the evening previous, with upward
of 13 feet water on the falls. The top
of the canal mark was out of sight /
under the tide, with probably Is feet
water in the canal, which makes that
chute just BOW impractical bic, and the /
falls the only channel.
The high tide has carried away the /
wreck OF the 7. d. Horner that sunk /
on the middle pier of the bridge, and |
the unfortunate towboat is no longer
a landmark on the falls to warn the |
unwary boatmen that breakers are
ahead"
The high tide has also carried away
the apparatus, or floating derrick ma
chine, used by the bridge company in
hosting rocks to the piers. It is a
valuable machine. and if not recov-
cred will involve loss of about 81 900
TO the company.
The Falls, excepting near the canal
bank, present an unbrOken sheet of
and muddy waters. with no
stone piers, or even Corn Island, to
1bstruct the view, but submerged by
he rising tide.
