RIVER NEWS. STEAMBOAT PRINTING.

No printing establishment ' in the West has better facilities or greater ability for doing fine stcamm ai rnnung. uur assortment of Job Type, though very large and complete, is constantly being added to, and our job department K under the personal supervision of one of the best job printers in the United States. We are prepared to tc., &c. Orders left with either of the wharf-boats will be promptly attended to. River and Weather. We were blessed with a fine rain during Friday night that lasted until nearly morning, and at times very heavy, accompanied with lightning and thunder, and some wind. Saturday was cloudy and pleasant, with a light rain occasionally during the forenoon. The mercury stood at 76 at noon. The river was failing very slowiy was almost at a stand on Saturday. What effect the heavy rain of Friday will have upon it, remains to be seen, but will, perhaps, not do more than check the decline. Arrivals and Departures. The arrivals and departures up to three o'clock on Saturday include the Phantom, Cairo to Evansville- and return ; Lotus No. 2, St. Louis to Cincinnati; Tarascon, to Louisville; Newsboy, Henderson and return ; Golden Eagle, Memphis to Cincinnati. Boals Due. Among the first boats due here are the Havana, for St. Louis f Naugatnck and Harry Dean, for Memphis; Camelia and Talisman, from St. Louis; Mariner and Darling, from Memphis; Silver Cloud and Argosy, from New Orleans; Phantom and Palestine, from Cairo; Tarascon, from Louisville; Maggie Hays, for New Orleans. HiscellaneonH. Business is not brisk on the wharf comparatively speaking nothing like it usually is Arrivals are uncertain to some extent The packets are receiving good trips, not only of goods purchased here, but also of reshipments from Louisville. The Tarascon turned over 400 bbls of cement to the Phantom for re-shipment to St. Louis, and the Phantom turned over several hogsheads of tobacco to the Taras con for Louisville. The Phantom had a good trip of freight and passengers upThe Golden Eagle had a very moder ate trip. She laid up here for a couple or three hours to fasten her fUnges. We are indebted to her officers fdr late Memphis papers, forwarded through our friend, Billy Conant. Commodore Gilmore, Chief Head Centerof the Louisville and Henderson line, arrived by rail yesterday morn, ing to look after the Rose Hite. He procured a " big string," and went up on the Tarascon to try and pull her off. Gilmore is in fine condition, and if any man can break the singular attachment between the Rose and the sand bar on whose " buzzum"she rests, that man is the high Tycoon of the Louisville line, A. T. Gilmore. Boats Leaving To-Day. For Caieo. The splendid Charmer, Cap tain Billy Lowth, is the regular packet for Cairo and way points to-day. Willie Fowler and George Throop attend to passengers and shippers, and are pleasant young gentlemen. For Louisville. The gay McCombs, Capt. Ed. Crlder in command, and Miles D. Warren in the office, goes to Louisville at 9 o'clock this morning. The McCombs has fine accommodations, and her officers are pleasant aid accommodating gentlemen. The Palestine, Capt. Wes. Whitlow, with Harry Walker and Walter Pennington in the office, goes to Louisville at 9 o'clock this morning. They are a trio of hunky boys. Gleanings from Our Exchanges. Cincinnati. -The Commercial of Friday says: The weather yesterday was clear and warm, with the mercury at 5 degrees. At Pittsburg, the river is falling, with thirty inches in the channel. The Kanawha is stationary, with 25 inches in the channel. Here the river has receded 4 inches during the past 24 hours, with 5j feet on the shoalest bars hence to Louisville. There is 4 feet in the canal. Louisville. The Courier of Friday says : The river was falling slowly yesterday, with 3 feet 9 inches water in the canal in the evening by the mark. During the previous twenty-four hours it had fallen only an inch at the head of the fells, and 3 Inches at Portland. The weather was quite warm, with occasional clouds, the thermometer ranging as iiigh as 85 in the shade. On the falls there were but 21 inches water in the pass down the Indian chute, with not much use for that channel until another rise. The Democrat of Friday says: Mr. H. C. Murrell, one of our most energetic merchants, and others equally bo, have been "moving things" recently to,, establish a Louisville and Green River Packet Company, and we are happy to learn that their efforts will prove a success amd an advantage to the commercial in-, terests of our city. There was a time when Louisville commanded a large trade with the merchants and planters of the Green River country, and we can't see why we should not get it again. There will be a meeting in the Exchange rooms on next Thursday, at three o'clock, to elect directors and transact other business of importance. We hope our citizens will attend the meeting and do all they can to assist Mr. Murrell and others in completing all arrangements for this useful organizatir n. Don't forget it. Pitch in, Louisville. You have gone for the Green River trade very muchly heretofore, but the merchants on Green River are a sensible community, and all who are able and willing t o pay for their goods, and these include about nineteen out of every twenty, prefer Evansville. They get good goods at low rates, and save both time and money. But then go in, Louisville; you have a perfect right to waste money whenever you please. St. Louis. The Democrat of Friday says : The river is falling fast and steadily. It is supposed that there will be but seven feet water to Cairo by to-morrow evening. Dubuque papers say that boats are running only to Presott, the head of navigation for large steamers. Light draft steamers finish the trio to St. Paul without any inconvenience to the traveling public. The LaCrosse lines have hauled on their large boats and put on sternwheelers. Boats trom Miami and Leavenworth found four feet in the Missouri, but the Cornelia was delayed or aground for forty hours at Smith's bar, thirty miles below St. Joseph. Capt. Baker reports only thirty-nine inches of water in the channel there, but it will cut out. Business has improved a little. There will be a heavy time on the river soon. The large Missouri boats are withdrawing, to put themselves in order lor the New Orleans trade. Weather hot; appearances last evening were favorable for rain. There remains no doubt of the death of Capt. James McGinnis. He was pilot of the steamer Nile, which is on her way from this point to the Upper Missouri. A dispatch states that he died on Wednesday

morning at lOo'elock, on board of the boat, his disease being cholera. His body would be placed in a metallic case, and buried at Lexington, antil a return of cold weather, whenit may be removed to this city. Capt. McGinniH was an old steamboat engineer, had commanded several steamboats, and adopted the profession of piloting afterwards. He was one of the most popular men we ever knew, in any branch of river service, and his death will be greatly regretted. He had acquired property, and he leaves a family in this city. Memphis. The Appeal, of Wednesday, says: Since our last the weather has taken another freak. Yesterday was more like clear bracing days of the latter part of September than August, and the genial

xace oi oiu rsoi nan a wonaeriui enect upon the levee; in fact we have come to beiieve that one smile of his jolly face ismuch better for the sanitary condition of affairs here than a week's labor of thought on the part of the landing committee, although the face of one of the members, bears a wonderful resemblance to old Soi's at times. Business was very brisk upon the levee, the whole of which was crowded with freight, and served to remind us of the fact that summer has well nigh departed. The river Is sti.Vl rising steadily at this point. New Orleans. The Times of Wednesday says : The weather throughout the greater part ol yesterday was cloudy, and threatened rain, but after all the commotion in the elements, It didn't rain any. Business on the landing continues dull. The only business noticeable was about the Gray Eagle, which left ior Vicksbnrg with a favorable good freight, and a fair number ot passengers. There were two more departures, the John Kilgour and Pauline Carroll, left for St. Lonis. TRANSPORT ATIO STAR "UNION LINE." Union R. R. and Transportation Company. Jfasst Freight Line.
