miscellaneous.
Business was very light upon the
wharf yesterday, and the Idlewild and
Fayette had the entire landing to
themselves until afternoon........The
Silver Spray passed down during
Tuesday night, but did not land......
The Fayette brought up a good trip.
.........The Pine Bluff also had nice
cargo..,......The Idlewild was receiv-
ing quite liberally.........The fact that
Capt. McReynolds received full car
go of tobacco up Green River for
Louisville, is an evidence that the
Courier's influence does not extend
far up that classic stream. The
COurier's imbecile efforts to defend
the exorbitant wharfage charged our
packets and other steamboats, at this
wharf, is making for it many warm
friends among steamboatmen. They
love to have their hard earned money
filched from them in this man
ner, of course they do..................
The Judge Baker arrived at / Pm.
yesterday with a good trip. She at
once, after discharging, commenced to
reload for Clarksville.........The Idle
wild left the Kate Robinson aground
at Walkers Bar........The Virginia

day evening. The Morning Star ar
rived at 2:15, and left early for Hen
derson. She had numerous people,
but a moderate freight.
