weather and Water.

scribable beauty and loveliness, clear, |
bright. and balmy, with a grateful
breeze, fruitful and bracing. The river
rose q inches during the twenty-four
hours ending at three o'clock yester
day, and is rising steadily. 1t must
continue to rise for several days yet,
though we hardly believe the food
will reach the height of that of last
year. The river is falling at Pitts
burg.

miscellaneous
There was a large amount Of freight
discharged on the levee yesterday,
but the shipments were not large.
The Sam. Orr had a very fine trip
from PASSPORT, and leaves promptly
on time to-day 1.-THE Quickstep
also had a good trip in, and was re-
ceiving literally for a retuvn......The
Lewelin had q splendid trip on
board, and was preparing to leave
early.........If the Cincinnati Gazette
man could have seen the Orr come in
from, and the Lewellin go out to Ten
uessee River yesterday, ne wout6
think it looked little like withdraw
ing our Tennessee River packets. Two
boats week, fully loaded, Gazette,
that's the ticket......The Mary Erwin
had very fair trip, including several
thousand bushels Of cheap coal,
which is recorded good freight......The
Dexter passed up at 5o'elock yesterday
morning, flying pretty light, and had
made good time considering the wealth
er. She is advertised to leave Louis
Vile this evening......The Shamrock
was full of freight and literally
crowded with people. Capt. Cullum
was in command, and, we regret to
see, is not in good health. Mr.. Al
len, his genial clerk, looked healthy
and handsome as ever. Most of her
passengers were emigrants to the Far
West. She discharged large amount
Of freight here......The Romeo came
off the dry docks yesterday morning,
and was preparing to leave for the
Wabash last evening in first rate con-
dition......The Louisa, having finished
discharging, dropped down to the
wharf aud commenced receiving for
Wabash River aud all way points......
The lMinyoung aud barge, Captain
Hen L. Mitchell, brought full car
20 Of New Orleans freight out Of Wa
bash River, to Uniontown, and will
reship it there, and will leave here on
Saturday, for Garmi and all way land
ings on the Little Wabash River.
Commodore Mitchell has a pair of
fine boats, and should receive a full
trip. Get your freight ready.
1t was the general impression in river
circles that there would be no packet
from Louisville yesterday.......It was
not generally believed among shippers
and consignees yesterday. that the
Mary Davage had discharged 1900
tons Of freight here, as a city paper
stated. Captain Hugh Campbell
stated that he had about 1000 tons
on board, and he took some away
with him.
