MISCELLANEOUS.
There was bat little business on the
wharf yesterday morning. 1.-The Table
c1ah received literally and left with a
very handsome packet trip.........After
noon business was rather brisk and the
Phantom and Mary Erwin were receiving
rapidly, with fair showing for good trips
........The James Gray came in from Green
River, Monday with full carg o of lum Der,
all she could stow on board. 1.-THE Men,
phis AUdtdnche says: Captain Charley
Irwin, we are convinced, could build up a
spendid trade between here and Evans
vile with good side-wheel packet. The
people here and in the bends would give
him hearty support. A good packet in
the Evansville trade would undoubtedly
pay. Wefllly coincide in the views of
the Ardtdnche on this subject, and hope
arrangements will be made to carry
them out It would pay well..............

GO bales of cotton for Fred. r. Huston
