her freight.
l o'clock.-Having taken off 130 hhds. of
tobacco, the efforts to haul off the Eclipse
have been renewed. An immense hauser has
broken several times, and the gong rings for
dinner. Ofcourse we leave the painfal scene
of fruitless labors for the dinner table, where

still more of her freight which is done until
fears are expressed that our boatwill be ground

be aground than the Eclipse! is the answer;
which is very encouraging to us, seeing We

off we are again pulling at the Eclipse-after
each pull acoIloquy like the following taking
place: ooh Surgeon" "Hey." "Does she
move anyF" "a little-she comes little
every time" But we thought Surgeons re-
ply was rather Gshy-we didn't see any ad-
vance. She is said to be moving little and
we go to supper.
9 o'clock.-The Eclipse is still fast-we
find two Louisville delegates aboard of her
and at 10 o'clock retire to sleep and to dream
of freighting and coaling and wooding and
grounding. ........... t.
N. B-I forgot to say we left behind US at
Cumberland some of the Baltimore delegates
so that unless they have passed US in the
night we are not the hindmost of the Memphian
