I The heavy rains of the past few days are
\ bringing the river up sharply, and as the
rains seem to have been general hence to
4 Pitts0urg. we may expect another high
river, and a third overflow of the low bot
/ toms this season. Heavy rains prevailed
last evening from four o'clock to a late
hour az night. additional arrivals
and departures last night, up to midnight,
include The Sam. Orr, from PASSPORT; the
Armada, TO Cairo; GOldhnch to CIarks-
| vile; Ada Lyon to Green River; the Lew
ellin, to Eastport; the Belle Lee, Louisville
to New Orleanss the Henderson packets;
the Urilda, Pittsourg to Fort Benton.
The A mazda had avery nice packet trip
out and a fair show of people. Capt.
Gus. stopped of, on account of sick
ness in his family .....~..All the p ackets left
with good trips -.-......- rhe sam. Orr came IN
from Eastport ahout6 o'clock last evening
with magnificent trip of freight, and lit
orally crowded with people she, made
splendid run from Paducah, which port
she left at % O'Clock Tuesday night. We
are Indebted to her attentive clerks and
pilots for manifestAnd memorandum, and
to Mrs. Capt. Duncan for an exquisite bo-
quet, com posed of native wild flowers from
the Tennessee. The Orr leaves again on
Friday, and brought with her orders and
merchants sufficient to load her down....-
The UriIda, Captain Haztett's new
mountain boat, arrived at our wharf
at dask last night, literally full of
freight and people. One item OF her frei ght
was 600 kegs of nails for NashviIl- which
she reshipped on the Linton. she had,
also, large cargo of Government stores
for the Upper Missouri. The Urilda is n
nice aud substantial boat, with hand
some, ro3my cabin and pleasant state
rooms. The Hazlett Brothers are in com
mand, Capt. Hiram K. on the roof, ana
Geo. and VIII. in the Office. Capt. II. K.
HazIett is accompanied by his charming
and highly accomplished wife, who is
making her second trip TO the mountains.
....... VIM. Phillips, pilot of the louisiana,
was passenger by the Tarascon tyester-
day, and. proceeded by the Armada to
meet his boat, which he expects to ind at
Cairo. Few men have been called to pass i
a more fearful ordeal than he. AS will be
remembered, some ten days ago, as his
wife was making preparations to accom-
pany him upon the Doat to New Orleans,
in the best apparent health, and INDUCING
in the brightest anticipations of a delight
ful visit to the South, dropped TO the floor
and died in a monaent, oughting his whole
cup Of happiness forever He has just per-
formed the last sad rites 20 a beloved wife,
and now goes back to duty, heart-stricken /
and bowed down with grief 1.-The Tara /
soon went below Henderson, and took /
some 2 600 sacks OF corn for Smyser & Mil 7
ton. and returned at71z O'Clock last night, /
and soon left for LouisvilIe........rhe wind I
was so violent up to nearly 10 o'clock last
night that it was almost impossible to run.
1t abated about the time the Tarascon left I
Tile Urilda was still at the wharf at 1
midnight, and would probably lie over
till mOrning.........The Belle Lee had not
arrived at midnight, but was momentarily
expected, as the UriIda left her at Newburg
at SHUTDOWN. She no doubt arrived early
after midnight, and will probably be
found at the wharf early this morning, as
there was freight enough awaiting her to
occupy her time till daylight.........T The
Quickstep arrived at midnight.
