the gaBgvays of the Continental and Mollie Able
exhibited scenes Of unusual activity.

Yesterday was another light cloudy day, of q
delightful temperature smoky, and quite a fog
on the river all day. The Thermometer in the
morning indicated 40 degrees, 81 at noon, and 62
in the evening. Business was lively all day.
The Ohio is receding slowly at this place.
The Louisville Journal Of the 18th inst saws:
There has been no change ia the stage OF water
at this point since our last report. There were
seven feet five inches water in the canal by the
mark yesterday evening, and five feet five inches
water 10 the pass down the Indian chute. The
the indications for rain were favorable in the eve
ming wind from the south. During night before
last il turned cold enough 10 freeze the ground
hard IS rock, and yesterday morning the ponds
around the outskirts of the city were covered
with keen but very thin ice. The thermometer

By the resumption Of navigation, business

600 bales Of cotton for reshipment east. and 81 900
selected cane or fishing poles. We regret to see
Capt. Reuben E. Neal, her commander, on the
sick list. Hard work and too much exposu
while saving his boat Is reputed TO be the cause
of his being sick. The Indiana Is advertised to
start for New Orleans this evening.

The river fell rapidly yesterday. The weather
continued mild, and business on the wharf was
comparatively animated. The breaking up and
opening Of the Illinois from the mouth 70 Peoria

posed TO be open from the mouth to some point
above ST. Joseph. Very little Missouri ice has
passed the city. 1t is supposed to have been so
rotten as to sink en- route.
