During the past two or three days the
river has maintained the same stage of

The officers Of the mail boats in from

at Rising Sun cutting out fast. They
report full four feet water over the bar,
a very great improvement to the naviga

"Wednesday Evo'g. August 81, 1867

A MORNING paper keeps standing
at the head Of It's columns in conspic'
uous letters the following:
" Largest circulation of any paper IN
West Tennessee. Largest city circuld'
ton"
Now, if this is true, we have no right
to say one word on the subject. But il
It is not true, it is not right that any
other paper should take from us the
credit and reap an advantage which be-
longs to the LEDGER The public, whose
advertising patronage depends much on
the circulation Of a newspaper is enti-
tied to know the facts. And the paper
which pretends to the largest circulation
should-be able to establish it. We pub
lish that the LEDGER has the largest cir
eulation. We think it is three times as
large as that paper. So that one of us
is mistaken, Whichever it is should
take down the horns And we now offer
to pay over to Col. Kerr for the Fanny
Thurston fund one hundred dollars If our
whole circulation does, not exceed that
paper tpo' 10 one, provided only the pub.

WHOLESALE LARCENY OF VEGETABLES.
Robert Cole, Ben Franklin, Lewis Henry,
f. Lewis, John Hughes, Fannie Cole
and NJ ]. Wilson, all unbleache d Amer
leans of the Brownlow political creed,
were arrested yesterday evenip G for
stealing vegetables from the Worsbam
House. A portion Of the stolen property
was found in their possession, and Es-
quire Miller, before whom the case was
brought this morning, remanded the
party to Jail in default Of $500 each.
Mr. Bras represented the prisoners, and
declined procuring bail, asserting that
he could easily secure their release on a
writ Of habeas corpus-a feat probably
not difficult Of accomplishment as the
prisoners are as black as the ace of
spades.
