The St. Louis Democrat has the following graph
relative to the collection of at the port Of
New Orleans:
eve learn that from 81 900 to $4,000 worth of
chains in casks belonging to the firm of Child Prutt
& Fox, Of St Louis have been seized and retained at
New Orleans to secure the duties The New Orleans
collector will not let pass unless the St. Louis collector
will pay.the duties to him. Mr. Donovan, collector Of
this port advises our merchants by card in our paper
that he has received instructions from the department
at Washington to advise the mercantile community of
the western States that duty collected by the State of
Louisiana, at New Orleans, will not be recognis ID by
the general government"
we view the above as forobodng much evil and
strife. which he above alone can prevent. May it be
prevented, we most devoutIT pray.

finely under the management of Capt j. H. Pratt, the
energetic contractor. Two estimates have been made
