LOUISVILLE. - The Courier of
Tuesday says:
The Louisa reshipped her southern
freight, about go tons, on the Tn5ge
FIeetcher, and went down over AZ
1 falls yesterday.
Captain Richard Fuller, late clerk
OF the Belle Lee, will take ebar9a ~
the Judge Fletcher, and Nick I5igbf-
man goes IN the Office. The Fletebar
received considerable freight yester-
day, and will leave for New Orleans
to- morrow evening at 5 o'clock from
the city wharf
When the Palestine backed ont
from the wharf yesterday evening. her
rudGer got fouled by the floating drift.
and she refused to handle. as the
pilots say, and she went down over
the falls sideways, like a hog going TO
war, until she got below the site Of
the bridge, where, after considerable
maneuvering, she Strengthened up
and went on her way rejoicing. Her
extraordinary actions attracted a large
crowd of spectators on the levee, but
created no excitement, as at the
present stage of water there is no
danger of striking any Instructions.
ST. LoUIs.-The Democrat Of
Tuesday says:
The river was still rising at dusk
last evening. Probably the channel
depth to Cairo is feet large. To
heokuk there is 4 feet. At st. Paul
and Dubuque the probability is the
river has come to a stand. Although
the Illinois has declined 6 inches to
Naples, there is a fair stage, and the
delightful packet Belle of Pike may
replace the Nellie Rogers any day this
week. Stationary at Peoria. The Mis-
souri, Is growing steadily less. Four
feet scant above Jefferson City, and
feet below. There has been some re-
shipping done between st. joseph and
Leavenworth by a boat which dread
ed the bars, although she was draw
ing less than feet. Navigation be-
tween st. Joseph and Omaha is re-
ported difficult. Business on the
upper rivers brisk; there is a fair
show herea and plenty Of tonnage.
Weather superb.
9 Z The system of numbering the mer-
chant marine of the United States
will be extended to barges, fats, &C.,
as soon as the necessary preparations
are made in the Treasury Department
at Washington.

Sunday says: s7sLesh
The sudden change In the weather
yesterday from a warm to a cool tenn
perature caused many of our levee
habitues to make a change IN their
wearing apparel. Several individuals
had on heavier habiliments than those
Of Summer, and should such weather
continue there will be no fault find
ing, IS yesterday was just cool enough
to cause lively stir generally.
Business on the levee yesterday re-
minded US of bygons days, when it
was very difficult to pass along the
landing without running against nu-
merous freight piles intended for the
departing steamers. There was an
unusual large number Of departures,
and 1T is needless to state elch boat
that left had ample freight. while the
majority of them had also very favor
able passenger lists As an evidence
of the activity displayed there was no
laying over of packets. and as bust
ness has about commenced we may
expect to see come forward more
packets (Which are at present laid up
and get prepared for the emery 3nev-
