retire, and that Col Gorardo would be promoted to

ln-Chlef IN the Southern Department. No further
mention IS made of fhe negotiations with Caucuba

IS concerning an aggressive movement. s
It was rumored in Buenos Ayres that there were
better hopes Of an understanding with the Indians.
Despite OF this the money market has shown slight
upward tendency the cause or causes Of which we
are unable to assign.

RED RIVER ITEMs.-We clip the following items
from the Shreveport Gazette, of the l7th:
News came from above the raft last week, that
tremendous rise was coming down. The smaller
boats that had been lying here waiting for water all
got up steam and hurried off. It turns out to be
false rumor and if the boats that went up got rs far
as Fulton, they will be fortunate if they are able to
return to Shreveport-so we hear. At last accounts
the R. M. Jones and Hope were still aground above
White Oak Shoals, and both empty we believe.
Gen. Samuel Houston came up to Alexandria on
board the steamer Storm the morning of the 9th.
We took the Storm at Alexandria for Shreveport, and
learned on board that it is the intention of the Gene
raj to offer himself candidate for the Presidency
independently of conventions No one could inform
us whether he had resigned his seat in the us.
Senate, or not. r},5 H
Messrs. NJ. Ford & Co, have sold their contract for
building the railroad from Shreveport to the Texas
line to DR.. Culberson of Georgia, at profit as we
learn Of $4,000. DR.. G. has had some experience
in constructing railroads, and will undoubtedly push
the work forward.
1t is the opinion Of many planters with whom we
have coversed that the prospect for fine crop Of
both corn and cotton in this region, has not been so
good for many years. The crops on the river below
this place are, generally, very promising.
Our town was visited by furious wind and heavy
rain on Wednesday evening. The planters had quite
enough rain week ago. and some entirely too much.
Some plantations have almost been washed away.
