happy time fishing Walter Dillis one
Of the most popular clerks on the waters,
and we hope TO see him on some fine

The Des Arc arrived yesterday, and is /
ready to take all the cotton offered her
for New Orleans. We trust our mer-
chants will see the utility Of patronizing |
1 Memphis boat in preference to the |
steamers of the mob line If this stupen-
lous monopoly thinks there is no one in
Memphis to trust with their business, but /
must import a man for that purpose, it is
high time that our merchants should re-
sent such insults. Moreover, the mob |
inc spends no money here. The mob .
line is a vampire on our city; they take /
al and give nothing. Our shippers /
should patronize steamers that, in return
Tor their patronage, buy such goods as
hey use among US, and that have Mem .
phis men to wNrk with them. Money .
spent with partie, living among us is
Kept in circulation lere and helps busi- /
ness The mob line draws all they can .
from us to spend it elsewhere. IL is a
grand, stupendous monopoly, thatdesires /
10 absorb all the business and subugofe /
merchants to patronize it besides this |
they have lost some ten boats within six ]
