LeVee Reflections.
1t was just hot yesterday, and it SEEM
ed that everybody knew it was hot, and
were particularly anxious to let every
body else know that it was hot; Tor the
universal greeting between two meeting
was, "It's hot" Some would embellish
the expression with adjectives Of more
force than elegsnce.....The levee pre-
sented little animation yesterday. The
most we saw was the Frank Forrest re-
ceiving few thousand brick, which had
to be passed over that big pile Of salt
which encumbers the best part Of the
THo TllipniS 10 tho rNpakrnt
this evening for Vicksburg, and to New
Orleans by transfer to the big Natchez,
Captain Tom Leathers paying strict at
tentiOn to the comfort Of passengers and
the interests of shippers by the Illinois.
We are glad to know that eli along the
river between here and Vicksburg the
Illinois is growing in popularity, and if
sustained by our own merchants as she
is by the people along the shore, and the
merchants of Vicksburg and the bends,
we will soOn chronicle the necessity of
increasing the number Of packets in this
trade......The Cherokee passed down be-
fore day yesterday morning without
landing. All the big packets are giving
US the cold shoulder on account Of the
miserable wharf accommodations and
eXtortionate wharfage charges. Can't
the latter be remedied? The city engi.
ueer will fix the wharf soon, and then
the marines will again be happy.
Mr.. D. +. JamisOn, now one of the
clerks of the Illinois, was for three
years on the Belle Lee, and during that
time made lasting friends in the trade
between here and New Orleans. The
IlliLois has done well in securing his
valuable services. -. On dit, the steam
boatmen are getting up q combination
to eDjoin the city from collecting any
more wharfage as long as the present
system is imposed. They say they are
willing and feel it their duty to pay to-
ward Keeping the wharf in repair; that
they have paid the city enough money
the past four years to have built stone
piers the whole length Of the levee, but
not cent has been expended on the
levee, and they have concluded that it
dusgespea. The city fathers are rails
ing highdaddy about Glenn's wharfboat,
which occupies only about two hundred
feet, but they seem blind to the great
piles Of salt monopolizing about five
hundred feet in length and about one
hundred feet in width of the best part of
the wharf. The Frank Forrest had con-
siderable trouble getting in to her moor
ings Wednesday on account Of that salt
pile......The Illinois, besides having
about fifty cabin passengers, all planters
and bend merchants coming to this city
to purchase supplies. had over one hun.
bred orders to merchants here. We are
glad to note that she gets nearly if not
quite all the goods ordered to carry
back......The Quickstep was due last
night, and will probably be in port this
morning, ready to receive for her return
IN to la8
Richey, Of the Charles Morgan, reports a
change in the channel at Treadw8ter, as
follows: Let stern lay on Shot
wells light, hold head below the
head Of the island, at which
place will be found seven feet .....
Mansford's, at the corner of Monroe and
Second, is the place for the marines to
go to get all their reading and writing
material. He keeps the latest and
choicest of the former and the most fash
ionable and abundant Of the latter.
By the weather Observers report we no.
tice that there was general rise of tenn
perature at all points yesterday, the
highest being ninety-One, at Galveston;
while the barometer went down few
fractions of an inch. Brisk to fresh
winds prevailed everywhere, not beyond
thirty-six miles per hour at any point.
Fair weather was the general complaint.
.........A lot of mattresses on the
roof of the Frank Forrest caught
fire yesterday afternoon, but were
hurled overheard before any dam
age resulted to the craft .........
The II. S. Turner and Fawn are run
ming in spirited opposition in the Gin
cinnati and Evansville trade. The
Handy, in command of Captain Pen
nywit, is running between Cincinnati
and Msysville THE work of saving
the one hundred and fifty thousand
bushels Of coal sunk by the John Dip
pold opposite Osceola, is said to be pro-
crossing favorably......U p-river exchan-
ges are burdened with complaints OF
dull business. Captain J. 81. Kouns
passed through Cincinnati last Satur-
erlToute to his home in. Lawrence county,
Ohio......Cincinnati papers say that tor
mage for New Orleans from that city is
plentiful this week. Glad to hear some
body has got something to do......The
Louisville Ledger historian thus envies
US a faw moments of earthly bliss:
"Now that the city engineer Of Mem
phis has been instructed to make prepa-
rations to do some work on the levee
and stop them holes, the APPEAL man
Thursday, edifies the marine world
with the following items of interest:
Captain William Thomas has con-
cluded to change the name Of the Para
CONS hull to that OF Bonanza The
deck and guards are now being built,
she will be ready to put into the river in
a few days. A cOlOred clergyman has
entered suit against Jacob Smoyer, an
old steambOatman, but who for several
years has been keeping an clearinghouse
in Allegheny, for refusing to give him
treatment accorded to white people.
The suit is brought under the civil rights
bill. The Katie enters the New Orleans
and Argyle trade on the tenth instant.
She has been fully repaired" . The st.
Louis Globe Democrat Of the ninth has
the following item: 1.-THE engines, boil
ers, ETC., Of the defunct st. Francis will
be sold by order of the Underwriters this
morning at ten o'clock, at the foot of
Cherry street"
