an unusual arrival Of steamers, mostly on
heir way to the upper country, and all OF
thsa carrying tiesRy loads Of freight. We

the hurricane dreks and in every vacant
tuat o. corner about the boats that could
BE- made available. Judging from the sup
ply which is constantly going up, the de-

great, and &e should ike 10 know, as a mat
curiosity, how many thousands have
been carried by this point since the open
