have left for their distant homes until
another session will induce them to return
to the gaiety and saductions Of a season at
the Capitol. We are even curtailed Of the

hopeless claim is about the single addition
of sojourners that has favored us for, sever

are occasionally straying about the corri-
doris of the Capitol. From day to day and
from fortnight to fortnight, certain Mrs.
Johnson can be seen, wandering in matronly
listlessness, from oneend of the great bull
ding to another, looking out for some avail
able person whom she may accost with
some chance OF forwarding her suit. Mrs.

their party ties bind him to vote for the

not taken any part in the debates. He

the most ill.natured remarks thata sick
and defeated man could devise. The most

About IL o'clock, yesterday, the wind
rose and blew furiously all afternoon,
causing high waves and white caps innu-
merable, and rendering the landing of
boats a somewhat difficult feat, but no ae-
cidents occurred as we have heard of.
Business is decidedly better on the levee,
which was more crowded with freight than
for some time The Robert Burns
had good trip from Memphis........T The
Melnotte, Cora S., and Alice Dean, were
all well loaded-......The Louisiana, Ella
Faber. and Mary Ament, had slim freight
: trips. The Mary Ament was crowded,
however, with people .......The Superior
had a very fair trip out, having taken the
large lot of machinery that has for some
days past been lying on the wharf ......- The
p. Webb got a splendid trip, and our
merchants have had large sales for all
ports on the Cumberland River--........
The Mary Ament had great difficulty in
landing, in consequence OF the accumula-
ton OF fiat-boats and barges at the wharf.
We do insist on the City Council taking
some action in this matter. We know OF
no other city wharf at which f1at-boats and
barges are permitted TO lie for days togeth-
er-nay, even for weeks .-...,.. Hunkidory is
