Yesterday would have been pleasant day
on the landing, but for two things. viz. the
wind which blew all day, and the dust which
almost blinded every one having business on
the river front. Business was rather dull on
the upper landing, except about the Z. +.
Lee, which packet received freely all day and
got OIL with good trip. On the lower land
ing there was considerable Ouachita and
Opelousas freight handled but in osher
trades but little activity was manifested
The Rapides, from Minden, was anxiously
looked for all day end few lots of freight
were received for Fer. Up to dusk she had
not put III an appearance, but will undouL ted
Iy be on hand this morning, ready to leave for
Minden and all landings intermediate, as cd
yertised.
The Great Republic is the next boat to
leave IN the Packet Line" for st. Loyis.
She leaves Saturday, 9th inst.
Without another immediate rise in the uD-
per rivers we safe from overflow this sea
son.
The Frank Pargoud from Greenville, Era
No. 10 and Lizzie Hopkins from Latourche,
b. l.. Hodge from Ba!cn Rouge and Rapides
from Mlnden are amongst the steamers due to-
day.
1uc Oeultuole Will De receiving tomorrow

and way landings.
The Willie, Capt. E. 3. Trinidad, is receiv-
ang to leave Friday, 26h inst, at 5 p. NJ for
all landings on Bayou Bartholomew and
points intermediate on Black and Ouachita
rivers.
The shaft of the New Bart Able will arrive
10y rail to morrow morning and be immediately
put in position. She will be IL complete run
rpt. or1ar NV IN 10 H..
ceive freight for Grand Ecore Alexandria,
Normans, Barbin's and all way landings, to
leave Saturday, 9th inst, at z. NJ, and
every Saturday thereafter, as long as there is |
water nough for her to do so. And when |
the fluid gets too thin Capt. Dick will have |
low water packet to fill her place and day.
A few Shells or ballast placed upon that |
portion Of the lower levee between the Canal |
and Crossman streets crossings would be
quite an Improvement to it, for whenever it
rains hard this space is dotted with miniature
lakes, consequently it is an unfit place to put
out cotton.
The veteran Capt Cannon left again on
the Lee last evening. He is improving
rapidly, and we hope that ere many days have
passed his health will be com letely restored.
The Bradish Johnson has retired to Algiers.
The hull of one of the dismantled monitors
has been fitted up by Messrs. w. G. Coyle &
Co. as canal boat. 1t will be used in coal
ing large steamers outside the bar at the |
mouth of the river. 1t is admirably suited
for the work.
There was considerable dust along the
river front yesterday
The following named steamers left port ,,
yesterday: J. +. Frazi r and Waloon for
Lower Coast, Mary Ida for Upper Coast, r. I
E. Lee for Vlcksburg, Ida for Attaka pas, !
