MISCELLANEOUS.
The Ozark has gone to the upper land
ing to repair. She run on 8 log coming
out Of the Arkansas, and punched q small
hole in her side.
Two negro deck hands on the Rowena
had row upon the levee yesterday. One
of them cut the other with a razor, in
fiGting q serious if not fatal wound.
The McCune got a load at Cairo for
this port. She had 1000 sacks Of pats be-
longing to the LOuisisn.
The towboats Bee and Mohawk arrived
from above. The Bee returns~ to st.
Louis, and the Mohawk proceeds below
with the freight Of both boats.
The Rowena, Capt. John B. Davis,
came in yesterday later than usual owing
to the fog. She brought in twenty-five
bales Of new cotton, and will leave again
for White river to-day at 5 pm The
ROwena connects at DevalPs Bluff with
the train tor Little Rock. Messrs. Kid
der, Harry and Sharp, are her clerks.
The Des Are, Capt. John D. Elliott,
came in from Vicksburg with ffty-hve
bales of new cotton. She leaves to-day
at 5 p.m. on her return trip. She carries
the United States mail, sVd makes all
way landings. VIM. Miller is chief
purser, and Cad. Hanks is his assistant.
The Dan Able has been putt in splendid
order, and it viii be e by reference to
another column that she resumes her
place in the Nicksburg trade or Saturday
next. This gives US two packets for the
bends on that day.
Thu Fsoru = will he in mort n loo To- F,r
louisville on Monday. Hicks King is
master, and Al. Croxall clerk.
The Silver Cloud will pass up on Sun
day for Cincinnati; Conway, master.
The H. NJ. ShFsve, Capt. Carter, will

VieksbaFg and the bends.

a.m.fOr New Orleans.
The American will positively get away
to-day at 5 pm. for Little Rock. She is
light, and Capt. Rowland is master.
Tie Aue packet City of Cairo, Capt.
Bob Riley, is the st. Louis packet to-day.
She is Al elegant steamer, and will get
to st. Louis in time for the opening Of the
Fair. Passengers should go on the Cairo
and stop at the Laclede.
The Ozark has been chartered and
leaves for White river on Thursday next,
and will run regularly in connection with
the Rowena and Commercial, as a Thurs
day packet. Capt. John Davis intends
that freight from this port shall not be
delayed, and shows by thus putting in
another packet, that the interests of his
friends on White river and the upper
Arkansas, will not suffer in his hands.
Capt. JohnJ. Edison, slready well known
on old White, will command the Ozark,
and this fact alone will make for her
hosts of friends. Jim Mcdonald, a COM
/ petent clerk and a favorite among the
people along both rivers, will go in the
office. The Ozark will become famous
as either Of her sister packets, or we are
no prophet.
The steamer Jeab Lawrence sunk at
Red Jacket bar IN the Alabama river on
Saturday last. She wa on her down
trip. All freight on deck was taken off
and carried ashore by the Nyanzs. That
portion OF her cargo in the hold will
probably be saved, though more or less
damaged. The Lawrence will probably
be raised without much trouble.

A chap who does up river items for q
sheet in the lower part of this city, was
heard yesterday soliloquisiDg in this
wise:
'tCome rest on this bosom, b -.-
Tho thy chains have fallen from thee
Thy home IS still here;
IknOW not, I ask not,
How much you can TOTE;
1 but know that l love you,
Be-kase you can YoTEl'
The passenger tariff between Evans
vile and Cairo has been run up to SO,
and pound freight 80 cents per hundred.
This advance Is deemed necessary on &C.
count Of the trouble Of navigation.

pany organized as a joint stock aSsocia-
ton under 3 recently obtained Illinois
charter, have purchased the three follow
ing steamers: Clara for 500 shares of

We understand that Capt. J. B. Rob-
erts and other parties in New Albany,

1t is an undoubted fact. that mermaids
are nuRlerous In the KaW river in Kan
sss. Last week q party of young men
out hunting, came suddenly across six
mermaids who were disporting them
selves In the water. On the approach Of
the young men the beautiful creatures
q" lit out" for the woods, uttering shrill
cries somewhat resembling the screams
Of frightened school girla.
The Louisville Democrat SAYS:
"For many years past, the falls of the
Ohio have been prolific in sensations,
and have afforded the theme for many
an interesting newspaper article. The
latest that has come to our knowledge is
a scientific cla~irvoyant exploration of the
falls for lost treasure, which is now pro- 4
crossing under the supervision of q DIR. !
Atkins, who claims to have made the
discovery Of the exact location Of sunken
wrecks, safes containing vsluables, and
other treasures lost within the last fifty
years. These sub huvial exploTatioDsare a
being conducted with the aid Of diving
bells, and ample apparatus for raising the v
wrecks and heavy machinery. Many of n
our readers will remember the loss of K
government locomotives which
were being crossed over from Jefferson /"
vile to this city on istboats during the o.
