waters Capt. Elem. Calvert and her
clerks, Messrs. Sheckley and Dukes, are
as great favorites as are to be found any
where. All aboard on time; she waits
for nothing after the hour.
For ARKANSAS RIvER-The splendid
light-draught steamer Centralia is up for
Little Rock. She is commanded by the
well-known Dick Mason John Fenwick,
one of our most popular clerks, will be
found in the office, assisted by Ed Smith,
a whole-souled, clever gentleman.
Miscellaneous.
AT St. Louis, on Tuesday, the weather
was dark, damp and stormy. Heavy
rains we're anticipated The river was
falling rapidly The Missouri had fallen
some eight feet up to that date. The
Illinois and Upper Missouri were also
falling. Business on the wharf and riy-
ers, is by no means dull. The boats
very generally have all the freight they
want, both out and in.
On Monday last, the stern-wheel steam
er Enterprise, bound down the Mississip-
ri, with full cargo for ST. Louis, COLI
ded with the bridge at Rock Island, and
was totally destroyed, and her cargo lost.
She was owned principally by her com
mander, Capt J. H. Speilman. Her
value was probably $4,000. She was
insured in St Louis for $4,000, and
probably $1,000 elsewhere.
STEAMBOAT PRINTING. We respectfully
ask our steamboat friends to call and ex-
anime the specimens of fine steamboat
printing daily executed at the PUBLIC
LEDGER Office. Our prices will be found
to compare favOrably with those of Gin
cinnati or St Louis, and TO be greatly
below those asked by other city offices.
Bring your orders directly to us, and
save the commission charged by parties
whe take in work they are not prepared
to execute.

LITTLE VAGABoYDs. There are anum-
Der Of little vagabonds in Memphis, who
make it general practice of stealing
and plundering everything they can lay
their hands on. 1t matters not to them
where they sleep or what they pilfer-
that is the business by which they make
living. We have no doubt that every
city in America have their juvenile
thieves, but Memphis has more than her
quota. A man has not to go far to see
these little vagsbonds-they can be found
in every part of the city, ready to lay
their hands on anything they can carry,
at the first opportunity given They are
bold, brazen-faced rascals, that can look
anything down with as much hardness as
the oldest and most desperate criminal
Something must be done with them, or
the city will have set of the most des-
peratc robbers and marauders in them
when they reach the age of manhood.
This matter cannot be looked after too
soon

A WORD TO CoYvALEscEYTs.- Espe-
cial care should be given to the diet, take
light food and but little at time. Great
care should be taken not to take any
thing indigestable into the stomach.
Many persons when recovering from
fevers have craving appetites, and not
unfrequently, through the over attentions
of the nurse, mix together in the stomach
the most incongruous articles Of food
others, again, recovering from disease,
have no appetite at all, and need some
gentle tonic and stimulant to assist the
internal organs of the body to perform
their regular functions. To such we
say, procure Robacks Stomach Bitters,
commence with small quantity in sugar
and water, and as the strength returns,
increase the dose, and continue them
until all symptoms of debility have dis
appeared. mlO-lw

Poor OF GREAT ESTEEM TO A LATE
SOLDIER shadows Of war having
given place to the sunshine Of peace, We
feel ourselves reminded of the unfortu-
nate shedding Of blood by the appear
ance of an ornament at Merriman's jew
elry store, consisting Of beautiful sword,
sash and belt, which was presented to
Major Max Van Oettinger, 9th Ohio Vol
.unteer Cavalry, at the time Of his depar-
ture from his brigade, in which he had
served as Assistant Adjutant General.
The sword is most beautiful ornament,
its handle being of silver, representing
on one side the Queen Of Liberty, on the
other the face Of a monster the plate in
the centre being held by two angels,
bearing the inscription, Presented to
Max Van oettiuger, Major, by Co. X,
9th O. V. c."
The sword is manufactured out Of the
finest steel, and is worthy to be looked
at with attention Such gifts will always
remain of great value to the owner as to-
kens of high esteem from his company
and fellow-soldiers, TO whom he has
undoubtedly proved himself a gallant
and brave soldier and noble officer He
joined the army private soldier, and
reached theI position occupied at his
muster out only through his ability,
courage and good behaviour His per-
sonal presence in this city has produced
in us repeatedly the strong belief that
gallant and brave soldier, no matter &c
which army belonging, will always make
a faithful, honorable citizen
