The Memphis appeal OF the I'D says:
The weather yesterday was cloudy and
sultry. Business was quite active on the
good trips, but the most notable fact yes
terday was that during the entire day there
was not single arrival The river contin-
ues to fall slowly and steadily, *
1t seems that two white men and ne
gro boy were murdered ON q trading boat
near Lake Providence, of which we made
mention some days since, and it has been
ascertained that they were murdered by
some negroes working on Mr.. Tibbett's
plantation near TranSy lvania landing, one
of whom was arrested with a portion of
the goods in his possession, and taken to
Lake Providence. These negroes were
brought from Washington City, and have
been a terror to the whole 4neighborhood.

The Louisville Courier of Tuesday says:
A call has been made on the stoclxhold-
ers for SO 600 per share on the investment
in this enterprise, and we learn from
Henry Murri1l, Esq, of the firm of Muir
rill, CaStleman q Co., that the call Is being
promptly met. We would urge upon all
interested, the necessity of promptitude in
getting out the boat, and making con-
tracts, in order to have her built and run
ming at the opening of the fall trade Quite
a number of the shares in the new boat
are held in Bowling Green and at points
along the Green River, and all who have
not advanced their quota on the first call
are called upon to do SO. Now is the best
season of the year to build, and the Green
River packet should be under contract if
thermerchants and planters wish to real
ize the advantages to be gained by being
first in the fall trade.
ST. LoUIs.-The Republican of Tuesday
says:
The Atlantic and Mississippi Steamship
Company's new wharf boat will have four
"gangways" opened to-day, instead OF
two, as heretofore. This will do away with
the confusion that occurred Saturday eve
