weather and Water.
Yesterday was one Of the most de-
lightful days we have had this season.
The weather was beautifully clear
and balmy-an excellent day for veg
citation and for business.
The river rose about eight inches
during the twenty-four hours ending
at 3 P. NJ. yesterday. 1t will probably
have come to a stand and commenced
to fall before this morning. 1t is
falling at all points above.

miscellaneous.
Business was quite active or the
levee The Goldfnch
had ever 100 :hogsheads of tobacco
and great deal of miscellaneous
freight.......The Armada had 81 hogs
heads tobacco, 80 bales cotton, con-
siderable miscellaneous freight and
the best passenger trip that ever came
to this wharf on a boat of her class
1.-THE Darling had an excellent
trip Of freight and people......,..The
Ollie Sullivan had good trip from
the Wabash. She returns to that
stream to-morrow.--......The Chatta-
nOoga was receiving literally yester-
day for the Wabash. She is one Of
the best boats in the trade, and Capt
Scott is veteran and popular officer.
.........The Fanny Brandeis was add
ing largely to her trip.........The Cum
berland was getting an excellent trip.
........Capt VIM. Hollcroft, one Of
the most popular officers and a most
estimable gentleman, takes COM
mand of the Dexter this trip.
She will be here to-day, sure.........
The Armada went up to Newburg
yesterday for a large lot of freight
engaged by Capt. Dusouchet last
week........The Mayhower has gone
to st. Louis to enter the Vicksburg
trade. Capt. Gus. Lemcke, we are
informed, takes charge of the office.
We hope she will do well, but VIC are
still of the opinion that by persever-
ance she would have built up paying
trade hence to Memphis. The peo-
pie of Evansville will not be satisfied
without a boat in the trade.......T They
had a rumor in Memphis on Saturday
that the Richmond had been burned.
We have no idea that there is a
shadow Of foundation for the rumor
Duke Nicholson, late clerk Of
the Mayhower, arrived home by the
Armada yesterday morning. He pro-
poses to go into the steamboat agency
business. Few men can command
more freight than Duke, and the
boats will be fortunate that secure his
services.
