miscellaneous
The arrivals AMI departures during FRI
day night and Saturday were quite numer-
GUS, though but little business was trans
acted.The Armada had about 100 hogs
heads of tobacco, and a good passenger trip
..The Clifton and Argonant had fair
trips.. The Norman had a moderate trip
.The Legal Tender was light. She
transferred her trip at Cairo, and returns
to Lou sville to lie up-.......The Armada
foir RI would n
nice packet trip out..-The John d. Perry
was not receiving rapidly, and we doubt If
she will get paying trip. Freigh's for
Memphis are very scarce just now, but will.
no Doubt recover by the lst of August.
The Minnyoung, Capt. Mitchell, towed
the Phantom to the dry dock on
Saturday, where she will be over
hauled and fitted up for the low water
trade, which is now close at hand.....The
Courier of Saturday publishes a card, ex-
posing some scurvy fellow, who disgraces
the profession of Law, by turning inform
er; a character that is held in obhorence
and detestatfon by even savages. We
don't know who the card alludes to- but We
do think it a contemplate business, and
somebody will RIM against him some of
these days.........The Eau Claire had about
80 hhds. of tobacco, and returned to Pond
pers to the card of Fowler, Lee & Co., which
will lie found below land they will govern
themselves accordingly. Freights for Nash
VILE should be consigned to Fowler, Lee q
Co., Paducah.........The Ella Faber arrived
at noon, Saturday, from the Cumberland,
with 300 hhds, TOBACCO, for various parties.
notwithstanding the large amount of
tobacco arriving here, the wharf is kept
comparatively clear, and the railroad
sends it forward as fast it can be got
ready.
