Comet, and W. a. Andrew, from Jefferson
Ham Howell, Rescue, and Era No ! fror

The Grand Duke, captain APPLICABLE mag
ufcent new steamer, left louisville last week
I'D will arrive here in few days. Sheis pro

accomplished friend, L. 7. Murdoch, (late o
the B. L. Hodge, will have charge Of the of

ned
We have been requested to ask, if governor
Wickliffe or chief-enginecr Hebert cannot be
prevailed upon to despatch one of the State
s1ag boats to the falls of Rel River for the ur-
pose of breaking up and removing from the
channel the wreck Of the ri W. Adams. If the
river should continue to fall for few days
Ior ger, the old hulk will prevent large boats
tossing the falls, and thereby entail on our mer-
chants and planters a loss Of several thousand
dollars, in the shape of extra charges for re-
tipping, hauling around the falls, etc. AS al
most every person residing on Red River, as
r7all as the citizens of eastern Texas and ,por-
ton of Arkansas, are pecuniary sufferers by any
alpediment to uninterrupted navigation, the
esgly attention of our State officials is solicited
Co he matter.
