The .barge-load Of freight brought

lying below the City wharfboat. 1t is
so badly mixed up that New Orleans
boats won't touch it,
Bill Hicks, Mate OF the Lizzie Gill,
arrived in town yesterday just in time
to get9abOard his packet before she left
for st. Louis. 1t will be remembered

ing on Friday last.
The Hamhleton comes Off the Ways
at Paducah to-day. She is announced to
be in every way a perfect and com
plete packet, and, in her new deeora-
tons inside and out, will vie with the
prOudest ship afiOat. We learn that she
viii be here in about eight or ten
days.
The Cleaner came in from the Arkan-
sas with the crack trip OF the season. |
She had, besides her other freight, 3O3 |
bales Of new cotton. Capt. Fenwick
will back her cut to-day for all points to
Pine Bluff, and promises to bring in at
least 500 bales next trip. Mr.. Patterson
is clerk Of the Cleaner,
We learn that the people along the
Arkansas are much alarmed about the
yellow fever at this port, and that the
passengers on the Pilgrim told some ter
rible tales. One OF them, a Colonel,
whose name we have hut withheld for
the present, reported 500 cases q day and
fifty or sixty deaths. Our mortuary re-
port, however, shows but an average OF
from three to four interments daily.
Just as the battle Of Shiloh opened, a
youth fled to COrinth and there tele-
graphed home that every member Of his
company were either killed or wounded,
and he alone escaped.
The Talisman, Tyrone and Nashville
will enter the Cairo and Nashville trade
as soon as the water will permit, as a
regular line. James s. Hughes is Presi-
dent and W. 7. Hartman is Superin-
tendent. Capt. Ben. +. Eagan has been
as the Cairo agent, and COrbett
& Boyd at Nashville.
We regret to learn that the wife Of
Capt. J. M. White died in New Orleans
a few days ago Of fever.
We have learned OF a project which
has been put in motion by our enter
follow-citizen, Capt. John T.
Shirley, which, more than any other
thing, will rebound TO the advantage Of
our city at this j%uneture. Capt. Shirley
has purchased the massive and complete
90 Ways" Of Psducsh, KY, with ali the
machinery, -appurtenanees, etc. and will,
as soon az a proper site car be secured,
them to this city. He is in me-
collation. with three or four parties, and
in a few days We expect to know def
nitely where they win be located. Few
our people can realize the immense
advantages that will accrue to our city
this enterprise, but we fall short
the mark when we estimate that they
will cause an outlay in our midst OF over
$500. 600 yearly. Steamers which are
now compelled to seek the Ohio river,
With its shallow water and detentiOns,
will then come to Our city, and will
lere lay out the sums nov spent at other
,orts. The PRdueah WAYS are In perfect
rider and capable OF raising such steam
RS as the Lee, Republic and Richmond,
While of smaller vessels like our local
W. OF them can be taken out
f the water simultaneously. The dis
advantages Of going up the Ohio to repair
las been very sensibly felt this season, i
nd Capt. Cannon, of the Lee, would, he
avs, give $1,000 to-day to have his
at Memphis, while the Republic !
! IN the same fix. The Indiana, Rich I
iond and boats OF that class are as much n
edged in as though they were nigh and Nc
Had those steamers been repaired v
/ Memphis, much valuable time could ~
ave been improved while freights are
igh and plentiful. We have before
Lid that Memphis is the head of low
later navigation, and large vessels are
safe in lying up at points above. 6
II not all, the steamers coming
lt from st. Louis have to be flight
to this point, which is about
luivalent to double tripping 1t this far 4
own. We know Of no undertaking
.hich will do more to build up our city
the one wespesk Of The best ship
mber in the world is at u doors-the NJ
as that out Of which the Arkansas
IA fashioned. OuT city should take an
