 The landing made by the river steamer Carney at Taylors Ferry Wednesday is recognized. by everyone as an event des- tined to appear in future history of Bir- mingham and Alabama.
 The river has been navigable above Lock H. which is the last above Mobile, but a month or two. Few boats have passed up and down this part of the river. But the Carney was the first to make a land ing with q bonafde cargo of commerce routed from New York city to Brming- ham by an all water route.

 The water rate on the Goodall- Brown cargo from New York to Mobile was 45 cents per 1o0 pounds.
