RED RvER--BAYoU PiERRE.-We learn that
Charles r. H. Sterling, with the State boat Expert
ment, is now at Bayou Pierre, four miles from
Shreveport where he has been some five weeks in
defatigably engaged formidable raft, which ex-
tends some five hundred yards up and down tho
bayou. II is just such raft that which Captain
Shreeve removed some years since, only worse, as
he jammed much Of the timber he removed from the
river into the bayou. Captain Sterling viii proba
bly, complete his work by the first Of July. This
bayou is properly part Of Red river, although it
has a different name. II discharges about us much
water as the river. II is ninety miles long, passes
through chain of small lakes, and is full Of islands
If this stream receives proper attention from the
State, it will accommodate the rich parish of Dc
Soto, and portions of Caddo and Natchitoches.
When Texas shall be united to this country, Red
river will become one of the most important streams
in the world. 1t drains an immense extent Of pro-
ductive country. From the mouth to fort Ouachitta
il is upwards of one thousand miles navigable for
steamboats,. The difficulty of it's navigation by
RATS, &C., grows out Of its passing, with deep but
narrow channel through rich bed Of alluvial soil
covered with dense forest Of gigantic cotton wood,
which fall into the river continually. The abrasion
or caring in Of the banks is incessant in the bends
while the land accumulaies, or makes at the points in
the same ratio.-.N o. Republican.

ELLSWORTH THE PEDEsrRIAN--THREE NEW BETS.
The daily reports of the progress Of the Yankee
pedestrian begin to attract intense interest. Day
after day he holds on his course with undated
vigor, end, of course, the probabilities become
stronger that he will succeed in surprising feat
with all the chances of hot season and liability
to sickness against him.
Some thoughiless and garruous persons have
frequently said that the performance Of the feat was
all hoax, that 1t was never intended To be literally
and truly accomplished. To silence SUCH we are
authorized to say, that Mr.. Ellsworth has three
men to keep watch upon him, viz: Charles Coan,
Rufus Smith, and A. w. Ellis, who have been
sworn before Judge Cochran, of Carrollton to take
watch of eight hours each out of each twenty
four; and during their respective watches they are
TO attend to his wants, call him in time to make his
mile each and every hour, and that he walk il in
such hour, or failing to do SO, to give public notice
of the same. In case either of these men sworn in
watchers fail to accomplish their duty they stand
liable to prosecution for the crime of perjury and
will lose all title to their compensation. We learn
incidentally that each of these men is highly recon-
mended for honesty and faithfulness. As for Els
worth, he hrs every inducement really to perform
this feat, he intends to make England his next
theatre after having conquered on the plains Of New
Orleans
We are authorized, by gentleman Of this city,
to propose the three following bets:
First-S250 that no one has caught or will catch
Ellsworth off his tramp of mile each hour during
the feat, unless he (Ellswor shall first publicly ac-
knowledge that he has failed in strength and ability
to accomplish the thousand miles in thousand con-
secutive hours.
sccond-S500 against $500 that the Yankee
will accomplish his one thousand miles in thou
sand consecutive hours; and
Third-That if twelve hours notice be given,
Ellsworth, at any time during the continuance Of his
feat, will beat any man who may be entered against
him for walking a single mile, and will stake even
bets, from one to five hundred dollars.
