A proposition has been made by CAPT
talists to the Cairo City Property Com
pany to establish marine railway, ma
chimes shop, foundry, boiler yard and shop
for the manufacture of steamboat cabins
in that city.
The Gen. Lyle, on her way last Sat
urday from Cincinnati to Louisville,
passed rickety scow that had five per-
sons in it; two men, a woman AMI two
colored men. The boat leaked so
that the woman became frightened and
tipped over the boat Capt. Goldman
saw the accident, stopped the Lyle, and
sent out the yawl. One of the men swan
ashore, the other held the woman up
until the yawl came to his rescue, and a
skif from the shore saved the woman.
The negroes we're drowned.
From st. Louis we learn that there is
good stage of water to Cairo, four feet
to Keokuk, and abont thirty inches to
St Paul
Minnesota river is so low as to be nav
igated now by barges only The steamers
which ran above the rapids on the Min
nesota have all laid up. Several
steamers of very small class run from
ST. Paul down to Prescott, to take up
passengers and freight from the larger
packets unable to cross.
Missouri river is falling, with a good
stage Illinois river still falling. The
small Lotus, going up on her first trip,
stuck on Naples flats, and was lighting
on 10 barges. Another Illinois boat has
laid up-the Admiral Farragut, because
Of dull business and low water.

"SuRRY OF EAGLES NEST This is
the title of novel recently issued from
the publishing house of T. j. Hunting
ton & Co., New York. John Esten
Cooke, a writer well known TO many
persons in the South, is the author, and
having the manuscript Of Colonel Surry
on which to build his fair structure, has
produced a work that will be read
throughout the length and breadth of
what was once known as the Confederate
States of America with that interest
Which is always excited by well written
novels founded on fact From a hasty
glance at the pages, we are well pleased
with the style and language of the wri-
ter, and the admirable manner in which
some of the most thrilling adventures
are depicted would interest any one
The author of this work served on the
staff of that great cavalry leader, the
Iamented Gen. j. L. b. Stuart, and the
opportunities for observation thus opened
to him, together with his ability as a
novelist, eminently fitted him to write
such work as Surry of Eagles Nest;
or, The Memoirs of a Staff Officer serv-
ing in Virginia"

AUCTION HOUSE. Most of our readers
have doubtless noticed an auction estab-
lishment on Main street, north of Madi-
son, where sales are taking place every
morning and evening Many think it a
mock auction establishment, but such is
not the case, for they do strictly legiti.
mate business, selling clothing and no.
tons on the falling scale, that is, they
are offered at lower figures until the low
est price is reached. The place is open
from early morn until ten o'clock at
night, and purchases can be made at the
counter of anything wanted at auction
prices. p i. Biene & Co., the proprie-
tors invite the public to call at 1864 Main
street, and satisfy themselves of the
above fact

METRopoLITAN POLICE Built being
probable that the Tennessee Legislature
will soon organize by some means and
pass whatever laws they please, we pub
lish so much of the proposed amend
ment to the Metropolitan Police bill as
affects the citizens of Memphis;
Belt further enacted, That it shall be
the duty of the Treasurer of the State to
advance such sums of money as shall be
actually necessary for the maintenance
of the Metropolitan Police of the several
districts, out of any money not other
wise appropriated, in case said districts
shall refuse to make the assessments
asked for by said Commissioner, until
such GLAZING can be collected by virtue of
this act.
BE IL further enacted, That in case
the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and
County courts Of districts where the Me-
tropolitan Police are established, shall
refuse to assess the county and collect
from the same, for the support of said
police force, then the Commissioners
shall present their estimated bill of ex-
penses to be incurred to the Comptroller,
and, if found reasonable, shall be APP
proved by him. Said estimate shall then
be sent to the Governor, and, if he con
cur in the reasonableness of the esti-
mate, it shall then be forwarded by the
Governor to the Commissioners, whose
duty it shall be to assess, levy and col
lect said amount in the following man
ner, to-wit:
1t shall be the duty of the Commits
soners TO make application to the
County Court for the use of the county
tax books, and all records in their office
and possession, that would assist said
Commissioners in the assessment of the
tax for the support of the Metropolitan
Police force In case the Court shall
refuse or neglect to furnish such assis-
lance asked for, then it shall be the duty
of the Commissioners to assess upon the
inhabitants of their police district the
amount of taxes that would have been
their portion, TO the best of their knowl-
edge and belief; and after having made a
fair and equal assessment, according to
the amount Of property owned, the
Commissioners shall give thirty days
notice to the tax payers that their books
are ready, and at the end of thirty days
shall give other thirty days for tax pay
ers to come forward and pay said tax;
and if not paid at the expiration of the
sixty days specified, then the Commits
siOners shall have power, and are hereby
vested with all the powers and privileges,
and liable to all the penalties Of tax col
lectors, as laid down in the Code, chap
ter 5, articles 2, 3 and 4, for the collec-
ton Of taxes
BE IL further enacted, That no in
junction shall be issued restraining the
acts of the Police Commissioners, or
any Of their agents, until a final hear
ing is had on the merits

FUNERAL OF WILLIE PoPh. ester
day evening the remains of the gallant
Willie Pope, killed at the battle of fish
omingo Creek, were consigned to their
last resting place in Elmwood Cemetery,
in the presence of large number OF
soldier and citizen friends. He entered
the Confederate army as private in the
Seventh Tennessee Cavalry, being soon
promoted adjutant of the regiment, in
which position he made many friends by
his kind and gentlemanly manners. But
it was in the field where he was most
conspicuous, always craving a position
where he could be most useful, it being
his especial delight to lead charge of
the gallant regiment to which he be-
longed He was severely wounded while
leading the Seventh at fernando year
before his death, and on the 10th of
June, 1864, he was again in the advance,
leading a charge of his regiment on the
troops of Gen. Sturgis, when, pierced by
six balls, he gave up his life for his coun-
try. The brave boys led by Gen. Forrest
lost many comrades during the war, but
none have u brighter spot in the memory
of the survivors than the young, brave,
good Willie Pope

the Improvement Committee. The Mayor
was also authorized TO enter into arrange
