the East since our last issue, and nothing
later from New Orleans. Between Little
Rock and the Mississippi river, where they
pretend to have daily mail, the last Gazette

cessive failures, and a prospect Of a fourth,
as the mail boat was lying there, tinkering 6
up her worthless machinery. It would be a
good arrangement to trade those Arkansas

increase of the yield. Il is believed that
