1.-The following concerning the siak-
ing of the Peytoua we clip from the Louis-
vile Evening Bulletin:
THE PEYToNA.--It has already been stat
ed that the steamer Peytona, bound from
this port for New Orleans, had sunk in the
Mississippi. A dispatch has since been re
ceived by Mr.. D. s. Benedict from Capt
Leyden, which states that the Peytona,
when rounding out from Laconia, struck a
log, which caused her to spring a leak. She
was run upon the bar just below, where she
settled down in shoal water. She was
pumped ont in a short time, however, and
proceeded on her way. The freight in her
hold was damaged to the amount of about
six thousand dollars.
