RIVER AND WEATHER.

Milbrey, Evansville.
LEAVING MONDAY:
Nashville, Cairo, 4P. NJ
The river was still receding yesterday,
with FIVE feet large on Harpeth Shoals.
Weather cloudy and threatening rain.
The Fanny Brandeis, from Evansville,
was loaded with -four and corn. Her cor
go from this point consisted of SO bales
cotton, a lot of eggs, dried fruit and sun
dries.
The Echo, from Kanawba river, brought
up two barges of salt.
Capt Ben. F. Egan left by rail yester-
day for st. Louis. on business connected
with the revival of the trade between this
city and that place.
The daily line to Cairo is now in the full
tide of successful experiment. The new
steamer Lumsden has been slandered in re-
gard to her running. She is the only boat
that has yet arrived here on time, and has
proved herself no slow coach.
The tow boat w. II. Brown is on her way
to this city with twelve barges salt.
The Emma Floyd had TO refuse freight
Louisville.
The Nashville is the daily line packet
| for Cairo on Monday at P. NJ. Capt.
Wiley Sims in command, and Johnny
Harper in the offer.
A negro stepped off the Tyrone into the
river at Cairo, few days ago.s and was
drowned.
Some thirty years ago barge loaded
with 1900 pigs of lead, thirty barrels of
whisky, and hundred stand of muskeis,
was sunk in the Mississippi some six miles
above Burlington. The location is known,
and several unsuccessful attempts have
been made to raise the barge. A party OF
divers who have been engaged at the
bridge, went up with their boat, snd pro-
pose to remain until the valuable cargo is
raised. Should the whisky be found in a
state of preservation it will be very valua-
bic on account of its great age.
