day next. She is intended to be a clipper,
and will be named the Paul Morphy.
The Brigham Young is rapidly approach

The river at this point was swelling

the wharf rather dull, and not much freight

brisk
We learn that the little steamer, Sports
man, famous a couple of years ago AS the

tary near Vicksburg, and making so much
money that her owners contemplate coming
here shortly for the purpose of building an
other just like her.

per port to undergo repairs.
The gentlemen who located lately at
Grand View, for the purpose of carrying on
shp-yard, have returned to their former
home New Albany satisfied that such an
enterprise cannot be made to hd!f pay in
that village. The citizens of Grand View
wifi have to turn their attention to some
thing besides ship-bulding.
