most of the time, and on Sunday we had
a delightful shower for short time, but at.
ter it cleared off it became very close and
sultry.
Business on the landing on Sunday was
confined to- the discharging of the steamer
Richmond, and on yesterday there was but
very little doing of either loading or I'M
loading; and from all appearances all those
boats advertised for last evening would be
compelled to lay over until to-day to get
enough to justify their starting.
The arrivals since our last are the Shan
non from Louisville, Governor Allen from
Vicksburg, Tom Rees and barges from the
Ohio river, Bart Able and Frolic from Lob
deirs Store, Tahlequah from Bayou La
fourche, Era No. 10 from Jefferson, La
| Belle from Shreveport, Cherokee from
| Attakapas, and Mary Alice and barges
from st. Louis.
The departures were the Garry Owen for
Camden, Bart Able for Lobdell's Store, and
the Tahlequah for Bayou Lafourche.
| The marks indicate ten feet four inches
below high water gauge OF 1862, and the
river falling.

1 dent of the Merchants Southern line at St.
Louis, and Captain Abe Hutchinson, of the

with their line. and we hope their stay with

able one. but prove satisfactory in their
business also.

The Cincinnati Gazette of the fourteenth, |
says that business on the landing was |
steady but rather dull, with three boats |
loading for New Orleans. Competition in |

The Plttsburg Gazette, of July l3, saws:
The river is rising, under the influence of
recent rains, with three feet two inches in
the channel. 1t is likely, however, that the
present swell will not amount to much, as
