and decidedly muddy.
On Saturday it commenced to rain at an early
hour, and continued up to dark, Yesterday dur
ing part of the morning, it was cloudy and the
heat very oppressive. About 2 p. NJ. we hadmore
RAIN and at present writing the prospects are that
| it will continue.
On account of the weather on Saturday the
steamers that left were unable to receive all the
freight that had been engaged, although some few
had good trips.

ers st, Nicholas, Live Oak, Thos. Powell, Lizzie
Tate, Annie Wagley, Fashion, and Lizzie Gill on

The A. & NJ. S. S. packet Mississippi was an
nounced for departure, but owing to the bad
weather which detained her on her trip down, she
did not arrive in time to leave. She is now re-
ceiying, and leaves positively this evening, for
Memphis, Cairo and St. Louis. Capt. ]. Y. Hurd
is in eommaed and Mr.. ]. D. Maln dictates in the
office. The Mississippi will take all freight that
may offer today, forall landings on The bends.

new and magnificent passenger packet will be

Ing uldlL WHO SetS HIS Heaft on " -HnQln5 any
local river news in ANEW Orleans paper Except |
arrivals and departures} sis champion and doth |
feed on air. Each one we have seen for some
time past gives about column of river news, but
all is clipped from the Cairo Democrat, St. Louis
Republican and Cincinnati Enquirer.
The above we clip from the Cairo Democrat of
late date. r --r..
We would say to the Democrat man that he
who lives in glass houses shouldeot throw stones,
We, as usual thing, clip everything from the |
Western papers that may be interesting to our
readers, and Cairo is the most central place for
the arrival and departure of steamers to and from
New Orleans, we sometimes give our Cairo man
the preference. Since our reportorial career,
which has been some nine years, with the excep-
ton of the past four years, when we were travel.
ing in "China," we have never, as yet, seen more
in the river column Of the Democrat about local
news than there has been reported in the New
Orleans papers. We think, however, if the Demo.
crat man is not too much opposed to Southern in.
he should apply to some of our leading
papers for a situation. He might then invent some
local news that might suit his views.
We return our thanks for favors to the officers
of the steamers Mississippi Fannie Gilbert, La
fourche, Lizzie Hamilton and Gaddo.
By late arrivals from Red River, we learn that
that stream is rising, and that there had been 10
foot rise at Fulton.
The Grey Eagle and Nina semmes will be the
landing this morning receiving. The former leaves
tomorrow for Yieksburg, and the latter this even
ing for Bayou Sara.
