.''''' The Dunbar is IN port this morn

the attentive clerk, Gus. Dusouchet, will
show them every attention.

o'clock tomorrow.

lar time for departing for the Green river

and passengers, and returned with a very
good cargo, consisting in part of $40 SKIS of
corn for Brandiss & Crawford, and 1000
water melons, owner on board, besides a

in which it was sunk here some time since.

Varble, will be here to- day to take it on

1.-THE Enquirer credits to the N. A.
Ledger an item with regard to the Fanny
Buttitt which that paper copied, without
credit, from this paper, in which it appeared
more than a week ago. Rather old news by
this time. Our exchanges are welcome to
make use of anything which may appear in
our columns, but if credited, let it be to the
proper source.
The wharf-boats at Cairo are all
crowded with freight, and refuse 10 receive
any more except at the highest rates. The
rates have already run up considerably above
the tariff fixed by the Steamboatmen's As
sociation, and are continually advancing
The reluctance with which our forwarding
merchants come up to their demands, rem
ders it rather precarious business for boats
re-shipping at Cairo. The Masonic Gem,
which should have left for that port yester-
day, having lost heavily on her last trip, and
being unable to obtain a cargo at living
rates, has laid up for the present, to await
better prospects for "pay."

DOUBLE DIsAPPoINTMENT.-W hat viii
the Douglas and Breckenridge organs do tc
avert the double disappointment which has
overtaken them both, by the unexpected re
suit OF the Arkansas election? Each fac.
ton claimed the supposed election of John.
son, rs Governor, a triumph but il turn,
out that Johnson is defeated, and that Rec.
tor, the Independent Democratic candidate
who was not recognized by either the Doug.
las or Breckenridge organs, is the successful
man. When the first news of the Arkau.
sas election was received, the Louisvill,
Courier consoled itself for the defeat of Nc
CLARITY in Kentucky by bringing out its bis
gun and proclaiming the election of John
soma great Breckenridge triumph. Til,
organs of the party elsewhere did the same
thing, including the st. Louis Bulletin. The
Cincinnati Enquirer shortly after claimed
that johnson was supported by Major
FlournOy, Albert Rust and all other Doug.
las men in Arkansas, and that the Breckin-
ridge principle of secession, disunion, etc
was represented by Rector the supposed de
feated. What will they say now? If the
Courier aud Bulletin were right, Breckin.
ridge has been rebuked if the Enquire,
was correct, then Douglas has sustained =
