Business on the Ievee Saturday forenoon
was quite brisk and considerable freight
was moving The Palestine, Darling and
Nightingale had good trips. We were mis-
informed in reference to the Nightingale
going down on Thursday night. She did
not pass here until Saturday morning. She
discharged large lot of freight here, and
had magnificent trip on herself and barge
for phis........The sam. Orr had a
moderate trip up, Saturday morning, but
had very fine trip out. She is in splendid
condition. and Bill AIcCIurg, who holds her
Unbelievable, knows how to make her go.
She is a regular stunner....The Ada
Lyon got good trip for Green River. She
has been got up for the Fall and Winter
trade, without regard to expense, and she
is now the handsomest craft that ever piled
in Green River. Let the people stand by
her and help to build up the Green River
trade.............A woman and child fell
overheard from the steamer Tennes-
see, at Cairo, Wednesday night, and
were saved from drowning by color
ed man, named Nat Embers. The citi-
zens are making up a purse for him ......
Amt it revolving to the human race te
think of the outrages these niggers dc
commit ?........The Mollie Able, while com
ing along up the river, a short distance
above Columbus, picked up a snag, on
Tuesday night last, which tore away the
larger portion of her after guard on the
larboard side, killing and drowning fifteen
head of Texas cattle with which the guards
were filed. The passengers were very
much frightened, especially the ladies $3.50.
We learn by reports from Cairo, that the
steamer Belle Memphis came near being
destroyed while lying there at the wharf
A deck hand carelessly allowed a candle tc
set fire to freight in her hold, and before il
could be extinguished, about 500 worth o.
freight was burned. Owing to the fire be-
ing in the hold, the smoke was SO dense
that it required much bravery and SOUND
judgment to extinguish it. The boats hui
was not injured.
