business was not brisk on the levee yes
terday, and there were but few arrivals......
The Argosy came in from Nashville via.
the Wabash, and after taking some freight
here left for sNashville.........The Pink Var
bic had a slim trip.....-.-The Lorena, for st.
Paul, discharged some % tons of height
here, and was loaded to the guards.
The Mercury had a big trip, herself and
barge being deep. She had $50 hogsheads
of tobacco and a vast amount of old Gov
eminent stores. On her trip downward,
an officer went aboard to serve an attach
ment for work done on the boat, and they
shipped away, carrying the officer with
them, and he had to pay a dollar to be
landed at Henderson. Yesterday, Frank
Morris took the matter in hand, and after
ain attempt on the part of the boat to
part their lines, the officers came ashore and
went up town to consult a lawyer. Now,
we don't believe in harrassing boats I'M
necessarily with attachments, but the
proper way for them is to submit to the
loss and ii the claim is unjust, to resist it,.
Resisting officers in the discharge of their
duty is dangerous business and don't pay.
