miscellaneous.
The aspect of affairs at the wharf
on Saturday, was really lively, but the
business really transacted was net
especially large.........The J. p. Webb
and Chattanooga arrived from Wa
bash River with full trips, and pro-
posed to return Saturday night.........
The Darling, Nightingale, Silver
Moon and Emma No. had splendid
trips, being loaded literally to the
guards. The Silver Moon had 800
bales of cotton, and achieves the title
of " Cotton King as we'll as Ice
King. ".........The Indiana had about
300 tons and added some freight here,
at rather low rates. IF there is not
an Improvement in rates good boats
and responsible men will be compelled
to retire from business.........T The Ar !
mazda was getting a good trip out
She had fair trip in......The Cora S.
had a very nice trip for Cairo,.......
The SOutherner, unable to get her |
cargo aboard on Saturday, lies over
till to-day.........The officers of the
Armada and Mollie Norton desire US
to say that they do not propose to
race, nor have they raced. They !
went out on Wednesday last close to-
gethers and being on the most friendly |
terms, locked arms as they rounded
the Point, and ran locked under
perfectly safe and easy pressure
almost to Henderson. They can't
help it if they have fast boats, but
they do not propose to crowd them.
1.-THE j. p. Webb went to Mt.
Carmel, and found FIVE feet water on
the chain.........The Goldfnch arrived
here Saturday morning, light She
will probably be here aud in the
vicinity for Cincinnati, and will prob /
ably take the balance of the Sher-
mans freight.
Boats Leaving To day.
For CAIRo.-The far famed, feet,
flying Quiekstep, Capt. Dexter's indie
pendent low pressure, will be the un-
rivaled packet for Cairo and all way
ports to-day. She has splendid pas
seuger appointments, and is as swift
as an arrow. Capt. Dexter is an ex-
perienced and skillful navigator and ,
a popular commander. Jack Gram
mer and Walter b. Pennington are
proverbial for their politeness and
great courtesy. 1t does them great
proud to oblige their friends and
