The CLERKS MAY-DAY EXCURSION
the morning of the first May, the clerks
Of the various Quartermasters Depart
ments in this city, with few invited
guests, went down the placid Cumber-
land to celebrate the advent of g light
footed May" There were in all, about
one hundred and twenty-five persons;
delegates representing every Office in
the city were there; and the gentle
manly department Of all on board,
gave additional evidence Of the fact,
that all parties having business with
any of the Departments in town, can
only come in contact with gentlemen.
At about halfpast nine o'clock, the
Ollie Sullivan, with her precious cargo,
glided from her moorings into the
stream, and skinned over her native
element like thing of life" A large
eoncourse of citizens and soldiers stood
on the bank to see us Off We went a
little above the city to turn around, as
our destination was "down the river
as we passed by the wharf we were
greeted with lusty shouts, and cheered
by our friends who stood on terra trina.
The ecstacy of the moment was height
sned by those who remained at Capt.
Cox's Office throwing to the breeze a
constellation OF flags from the rear Of
the Gordon block" the boys came
calamity forward and hailed the beau
tiful and cheering display of starry
emblems Of the free" with three rous-
ing and soul-stirring cheers.
1t was said to be "stag excursion" -
We didn't see the stag, but a saw q large
number of young bucks that wore a
splendid assortment of horns There
was not dear present to prevent
the sad waste of so much raw material,
which, in proper hands, might have
been worked up into matrimonial con
sequences Champagne and jokes
were cracked in large quantities, and
corks few about like bullets; substsn-
tials were there in abundance, All
must have been delighted with the trip,
and, il they were not, the fault was GER
tainly their own. The managers,
Messrs E l. Com, s. II. GoULD, 7.
McKNLKr, and Mr.. ANDERSON, acquitted
themselves with great credit, giving en-
tire satisfaction to all concerned Capt
Field deserves the thanks Of all for the
very agreeable manner in which he dis
charged his arduous duties
We arrived here at halEpast seven
o'clock, after day Of unslloyed plea
sure; some had fshed, and were sue
eessful in their efforts to entice a few
OF the fnny residents of the deep to
nibble at their hooks-for a while they
bit like tigers" others could not stay
in one place long enough to fish, and
amused themselves by running about
over the hills and across the vallies cul-
ling wild flowers which grew there in
great profusion. Nature is just putting
on her bright green apparel, and the
Vernal sunshine is calling forth the veg
stabls world into career OF variegated
and floral splendor The day will be
treasured up by US, as one Of the gems
Of the past, and we cherish the hope
that the parties who planned, partici-
pated in, and executed this one, may
live 20 indulge in the enjoyment of
msng more such excursions.

Sinking Of the GunbOat EastpOFt on
Red River.
OK BoARD STEAMER SULTANA, |

ON BOARD OTEAMER OCLTAhA, |
Opposite Fort Pillow, April q, 1864
From a naval officer bearing dispatch
es, l have Just learned that the East
port, one of our finest and most form
liable iron-clad rams, struck a snag
about twenty miles above Grand Ecore
last Saturday morning which caused her
to sink Immediately. She still remains
in her critical position, her upper decks
being three feet above water Efforts
will at once be made to raise her, but
this will be attended with the greatest
difficulty, on account of the very low
stage of the river, and tho immense
weight of the Eastport. The Eastport,
it will be remembered, got aground on
the falls at Alexandria, and had a narrow
escape from destruction The arma-
ment of TIE PASSPORT is one Of the most
powerful in Admiral Porter's feet, and
her loss at the present time will be a
serious one to our river feet 1t was
contemplated to use the Eastport against
the Rebel ram Missouri, which the enc
my boast is able to sink all the Yankee
crafts on Red River.

DIARRHGA AND DYsEyTBRY.-We have ex-

Of the most prominent citizens in Cincin-

Provost Order, No. IL.
EXTRACT.
VIII. The frequency with which horses
and mules are stolen in the vicinity of this
Post by marauding soldiers and vsgrant
negroes, calls for the most stringent meas
ures for the suppression of the crime.
Soldiers are hired and paid to fight, and
not to trade in horses and mules. The
offering of horse or mule for sale by g
soldier, is in itself an offence, and is prim1
facie evidence of his having come in pos
session Of it by felOniOus means; and any
citizen purchasing it, becomes an sccomplice
Of his guilt.
Any soldier selling, or Offering for sale, q
horse or muls, or any citizen purchasing
the same of soldier, will be arrested and
punished.
No negro will be permitted to sell or offer
for sale any horse or mule without a special
permit from this Office on proof of ownership;
and any citizen purchasing horse or mule
from any negro without such permit, will
be arrested and punished.
The patrols will be instructed to arrest all
soldiers found riding or having in their pos
session horses or mules not branded s0i1 the
Government brand.

NEW THEaTRE-The complimentary
benefit rendered to Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Jordan, by very large number Of the
shte Of the military and citizens, takes
place tonight at the new theatre The
entertainments on this occasion will
open with the fine comedy of the
" Widows Stratagem," in which Miss
Emily Thorne personates Fracine, with
the song-"How are you, Conscripts 2
This is one of her fayorite characters,
and she plays it charmingly. The
drama entitled the Soldier Of Fortune,
or The Chamber of Death" follows.
In this Mrs. Jordan appears as Marga-
ret Of Burgundy; a character made
classic by Mrs A. Drake, Of whom Mrs.
Jordan may be regarded in it, as a
rival 1t Is a character which calls
forth those fine conceptions Of the deep
IN tragic, which have won her distinc
ton as Lady Macbeth The closing
piece is The Virginia Mummy" an
ethiopian extravaganza, in which Mr.
Jordan plays Ginger Blue, with a song.
During the evening Little Lulu will
sing Annie Of the Vale" and-J. w.
Thompson will dance a champion jig
We trust that the numerous friends Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jordan will rally to greet
them. Passing over his claims alto
ccther, we may remark that Mrs Jor-
dan has greater claims upon the play
going public, than any member Of any
company that ever played in Nashville.
She is a lady of talent, and high stand
ing in her profession; and on no occas-
sion has she failed to make the most Of
the character for which she was cast,
whether important or unimportant;
and she is an honest wife, the mother
of talented children, whom she watches
over with a mothers love and pride;
and ne'er yet has the faintest wills
per of reproach ever dared to reflect on
her good name. A woman like her, de
serves well Of this and oil other peO-
pie, who have proper appreciation Of
female character, and we shall be vast
ly surprised if the new theatre is not
crowded tonight to its utmost capacity.
