The ~nineompO0p who gets up the as
ISOLATED press dispatches at Cairo always
omits the most important item Of inter

JO~hnsonyille, etc, and only give US
those bound sogthEarG, with s state
ment OF the stage of the river, whether
rising or falling, and If either, how much,
he would do his duty well, but some Of

Liberty yesterday to get some extra
pumps which were expected on the

Liberty in a fair way of being raised,

which has accumulated upon it during
the past month. If Capt. Steve don't
get q " tea settH presented to him by
our shippers, then ye reporters will buy

S-teamboatmen looked pleased yester-

down upon them like an old aequain-
lance. His presence was looked upon
as a sort Of promise that freights would
increase, waters 90 down and business
generally, improve.

The Lavacoa Texas Commercial
learns from Capt. Spaulding, o."
steamer Lizzie Lake, that the canal
which was cut by the state 3 number of
years since, has been so far washed out
by the high waters of the last season,
) rat small boats can pass through
: canal, around the RATS, and ascend
de river as far as Wharton. I nlS46 the
steamer Kate Ward, which was built
above the raft, went up the river to the
falls above Austin, but the drOaghts Oflate
years have rendered the river totally
UNIT for steamboating-

The Cumberland fell yesterday some
thirteen inches, with twelve feet on the
shoals. The day was n Of heavy rains
during the forenoon, and at night another
instalment was received. Will these
dark, driz9ling and dreary days never
cease ? The prospects are dubious. Little
business was lone on the wharf. No
boats arrived, and the only departure
was the little bravo" for the Upper
Cumberland.
The Nieksburg folks had q sensation on
Tuesday last. a race between the tugs
Fern and Cleveland csmeOf, the latter

MARkIED.-Our clever and popular
friend Monroe T. Cunningham, clerk of
the steamer w. r. Arthur, a few days
& married Miss Irene Johnson (daugh-
ter ofthe late Capt. Henry JOhnsOn) one
Of the lOveliest flowers OF st. Louis. We
wish the newly married couple q life Of
.unbOunded Joy and prosperity, and trust
their future path will flow on the even
current of life until they reach q safe
port in Heaven, the happiest Of all nor
tai beings. We cannot pass by this OPP
portunity of expressing our opinion Of
such q genial gentleman as Mr.. Gun
ningham. he Is one of those men cal
culated to make a good husband, and
happy indeed must be the heart Of the
lovely being who has Won such a
treasure, which, Of itself, is q proof that
she must be one OF the sweetest OF her
sex.
We must enter our protest against the
imposition which has been saddled upon
our boat owners by the board OF under
writers Of this city. A steamboat com
ing from other ports with her inspection
papers should not BE required TO go
through another inspection here at a cost
TO the boat Of $50 for each visit. We
know that Ia some cases this Inspection
is necessary, but as the insurance com
NAMES make all the money in the mat
ter they should pay the inspection fees
and not require the boats odo so. 1t was
only the other day that the Gen. Quit
man was detained several hours, and
came near having TO leave without q
trip because she would not submit to
this extortion. This 6Saket never had
an objection raised against her by the
underwriters Of New Orleans, and had
her inspection papers from that port, but
thew were of no avail, she had to sue
cumb to the iniquitous rule laid down by
the underwriters Of this city, We sup
