The river at this place continues nearly sta tonary. The arrivals are becoming less frequent the steamboatsmen taking their boats out of the trade. The Mississippi at Memphis ris- ing at last accounts. The rise in the Arkansas has not been great reported, and a number of beats aground at last accounts.
 The ever popular Memphis, White and Little Red river packet Admiral, with the world-re- nouned Riley Jones on deck and our old friend Thomasson in the office passed up Monday even- ing and down on Tuesday. To say anything in praise of the boat or her officers is unnecessary they both having the confidence of the travel ing public. Our thanks arc due her for late Memphis papers.
 The favorite freight and passenger packet Gen. Pike Captain Wm. 4. Wds in command and Mayo in the office, passed up, on her way to Augusta, on Monday morning. The Pike arrives here every Monday leaving Memphis on Satur day evening. She always has a frst-class trip, and her officers are as fine set of river men as one could desire.
 The fine U. mail packet Kanawha Valley, from Napoleon to Jacksonport, Price master, and Butler Coles in the office, passed up Tuesday morning and down Thursday. The Valley is never behind time, runs like clock, and her officers are regular bricks" To our friends, we say try her We are indebted to her clerk for the usual favors.
 The United States mail packet Sam. Hale, Capt. C. W. Coles in command and Brscoe in the office, came in on Friday morning last, on her way up, and passed down on Monday following. The Hale is the mail boat light of draught, her officer bred to their profession, and her accommodations sur passed by none on the river. Give her trial. She will be here this morning.
 The Memphis and White river packet Hazel Dell, Rees in command, and Harry Smithson in the office passed up last Friday, and came down on Sunday evening"
 The regular Memphis, White and Little Red river packet A. ". Quarrier, Capt. Rogers in com mand, passed up yesterday with 8 fair trip of freight and passengers. The Quarrer has recent ly been repaired, and her papers signed for the Marine Insurance Company of Cincinnati. She is classed " B., No. ?, and is worthy the pat ronage of the commercial public. Success to the Quarrier Her clerk will accept our thanks for the usual fayors.
 The Frontier City has gone into the New Dr. leans and Ouachta river trade. We learn from a Camden paper that she had arrived there few days ago.
 The Tahlequah has gone into the Arkarsas river trade.
 The Golden State came in last evening, and the Masonic Gem is the next boat due.

 It is true, as you say, thatno allusion to Lin colns Freeport speech, occus in the editorial which contains the paragraph offensive to me, but as that is the only speechof his from which l have published any extracts, nd is the one which first gave you any pretext for imputing to me the the desire to become his apoogist, caused me to allude to it in my second not. This, however is neither material nor to the pint.
 In the article complainedof you have, I con- ceive, plainly insinuated thu l entertained hope of office. under Lncolns Administration. as a reward for my present political position. 1 wish to know whether you imput such a motive 10 me or not! Respectfully,

 MR. MORRILL, Your ird note has just been handed me
 l have carefully rc-rea' your first note, from which make the following quotations
 "l have only to say thG if you have discovered anything in my editorial personally offensive to you, l regret ii. disclam that the editorial can by any fair and legtimte rule of construction be construed ofensiveto you.'
 It seems to me tkat y0 arrogate more to your self in determining wha is fair and legitimate construction of its meaTng than you are willing for others to do. If had not thought by fair and legitimate contraction the article had imputed to me motives which are calculated to offend the honor of gntIeman, my first note to yourself would never hve been penned.
 l have construed theanguage of that article 10 mean that my position on the present political issues is induced by ahope of office under Mr. Lincoln, a reward fir my services.
 This correspondencthas been prolonged to an already useless extent and can only ask again. as basis of adjusting the matter, that you say whether or not you irended such an imputation by the article complaled of.
 This will be hande,you by Dr. Armistad.

Mn. RHEA:-Yournote of to-day was handed me this afternoon byDr. Armistead.
 I have, at least, th right to ''arrogate" to my self the purport of ny words in a fair and legiti- mate construction thrcOf, and in the language of my first note, say distinctly ''that if you have discovered anythin in my editorial personally offensive to you, l rgrct it."
 Your language eitorially, led me to the con- clusion that you wee the apoogist of Mr. Lincoln, in other words, tha he (Lincoln) was not so det- rimcntal to Southen men to cause them to fear him, or his administration. This led me to enquire your motives, whih certainly could have been easily answered trough the columns of your paper. and saved his rather lengthy correspon- dcnce
