Movements OF Boats.
The old adage of "either a feast or a
famine" might well be appropriated to
the business done at the landing for tie
past two weeks. Some days there has
been a brisk business, and on others,
anything was done. Yesterday
was one Of the busy days, and at one
time during the day, there was seven
teen boats loading and discharging at
one time. Their freights, and business is
up briefly as follows: The Phil
Allin came up with one hundred and
.hirty-twO bales of cotton and seventy
eight sacks of seed. The Cheek brought
bales of cotton and eleven
sacks of seed. The St. Francis arrived
late night before last, with a cargo of
Dne hundred and forty-nine bales of cot
Ton and six hundred and seventy-eight
sacks of seed; also, a large list of paSsen-
gers. She put offone hundred and six
Iy-six bales of cotton at Helena, for re-
shipment south. The Andy Baum,
from Cincinnati, came in late the
same night, with four hundred tons,
nearly all Of which was out last night
at dark, when it was undecided whether
she would go back or take load of cot
ton to New Orleans. The Laura, from
had fair freight. The OAR
ianelle was about unlOaded, and will
doubtless drop down to the wharfbOat
his morning and load for White river.
The West Wind had nearly all her
freight out, and expected to get away
his evening for Evansville with seven
hundred bales of cotton. The Armadil-
o, with the barge Sarah, arrived from

hundred tons for New Orleans, includ-
ny every conceivable kind of freight,
md her upper deck, as well as
hat of her barge, was cover d
With poultry, furniture, wagons,
carriages and everything else. She ex-
,ected to leave during the evening for
New Orleans. The Arlington was at
he wharfboat and began receiving cot
on, of which she expected to get fifteen
hundred bales for the Ohio, and was to
nave left last night. Next below her

,ales of cotton and fair trip of people,
having been delayed by bad weather at
VIII bayou until noon to-day. The

n the day; she went back at night.
The St. Francis was busy receiving all
lay, and left with all she wanted.
The new sternwheel steamer Ashland
anne down during the morning from
and at night had discharged
fifty tons for this city, and had then on
,oard two hundred and fifty tons for the /
Arkansas, which her officers hardly
-new what to do with. The La Belle
ay next below her; having discharged
II her Memphis freight at the elevator, |
he took her position there to load cot /
on. She was to have taken fourteen
hundred bales of the staple, and had at

inner with a good trip of sugar and |

red tons for this city, and crowded in
{ the only place she could find, at the |
Dot of Union street, where she had to
ut out at least a hundred feet of stag |
ng in order to get her three hundred |
nd fifty tons of freight on shore, which /
he was doing when night closed in.
