Thursday Morning. May 49, 1883 I
The weather was decidedly warm yesterday, the
sky was clear, and " Old Sol" seemed determined
TO give us a sample Of that which is in store for
us. At A. NJ. yesterday the Thermometer stood
st74 degrees in the shade and at P. NJ. it was up
10 IS degrees.
There was slight improvement in business yes
teIday, and some of the departing steamers had
fine trips.
The peerless Robt E. Lee, Capt. Jno w. Can.
non, arrived from Louisville with a good trip,
part of her cargo was ass hhds. tobacco. She is
now ready 10 receive freight for her return trip
leaving on Saturday, May 3Oth, at P. NJ. Parties
going North on business or for pleasure will find
the route, via Louisville, good one, and the
Bobt. E. as fast and comfortable a boat as they
ever had the pleasure of travelling on.
The tow boat Peytona, arrived from Louisville
with two barges containing 3727 bales cotton.
The favorite Nina SHINES, Capt. Gresthouse,
arrived from Lockport with a fair trip for the
season. The lberville, Capt. Gross, arrived from
Bayou Sara, and the famous A. G. Brown, Capt.
Bassett, came "biing" in at P. NJ, from the
Lower Coast with good passenger trip and as
much freight as could be expected at this time Of
year.
The following steamers left port yesterday
Cleopa, Capt. 4. Fl. Patterson, left for Monroe
and Trenton, with good freight, the United
States mail, and q number of passengers. We are
more than pleased to see this packet is being ap-
preciated by our merchants, as she well deserves
TO be. The Annie Wagley and j. g. BlackfOrd
left for Washington. The Wild Wagner, Capt.
W. B. Richardson. left for Natchez with a fine
trip.
The Legal Tender for Louisville and the Aloe
for Lower Coast left with fair trips.
The river before the city is feet 4 inches be-
low high water mark of 1861
The Louisiana lett Cincinnati on the 23d inst.
for this port.
The favorte Lotawanna, Capt. Fl. J. Brinker,
is receiving and leaves at P. NJ. TO day for Cam.
den and all intermediate landings. She is entirely
new and has splendid accommodations for passen-
gers. Mr.. P. A. Work has charge of her Office.
The well known passenger packet Rose Franks,
Capt. j. w. Carleton, is up for Camden. She
leaves this evening at O'Clock. She is q good
boat. commanded by clever and attentive officers.
The regular Arkansas packet Peerless, Capt.
VIM. Reasoner, leaves al P. NJ. TO day for Fort
Smith, Little Rock and all intermediate landings.
The favorite Red River packet Monsoon, under
command of that popular aud well known officer
Capt. James M. Tucker, with the courteous Mr..
Ferd. " I clos 10 the office, leaves at P. NJ. to-
day. positively, for Shreveport, Jefferson and in.
termediate landings. Time to Jefferson, three
days, twelve hours.
The independent 0uachita river packet Idahoe,
leaves for Camden and all intermediate landings
at ?. NJ. to-day. In onr opinion there IS not a
better boat in the trade, and we can say to our
shippers and the travelling public, that no better
officers than those OF the Idahoe ever commanded
a steamer in this or any other trade. Capt. Jack
Blanks has no equal as a commander, and Is with
all one of the most agreeable gentlemen we ever
met, ard as for her clerks. Messrs. Breard and
Morris, they are too well known for us to say
ought in their behalf. She leaves without fail.
FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
The Vicksburg Herald, Of May 26th. says:
1.-The weather continues clear and pleasant.
Business at the landing was rather brisk for the
season, receipts of Western produce being unnsu-
ally liberal. In the forty eight hours ending at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, the river at this point
rose but half an inch and we shall confidently
expect the prediction made in last issue, that
il woud come to q stand by Tuesday, to be full.
