the Western and Southern waters. Of
these one was by grounding, nineteen by
fire, six by explosion, and fifty by sinking.
Of the Sunken boats. sixteen Were raised
and are now running; three ofthe exploit
ed boats and one of the burnt were re-
paired, and are now engaged in the usual

LoUIsvILLE.-The Courier of Friday says:
The river was still at stand yesterday
with 3 feet inches water in the canal in
the evening by the mark. During the
forty Height hours past 1t has not varied an

clear and rather cool. the thermometer
yesterday not ranging higher than sO0 in
the shade. At the foot of the falls, for
boats going out. there are fully five feet
water on the bar opposite the Portland
landing.
The Evansville JOURNAL is determined
to misquote the poets. Your Phantom ~
is a shadow whose shade you will never
see again along the Tennessee. 49,
The Pink Marble and Bermuda are SUBJ
stantial realities, and the Phantom must
vanish from their course. Take look at
the Pink Varble, next Sunday when she
lands at Evansville, and see how fat and
plump the Captain has grown.
We only paraphrase the poets to suit the
times. We do not misquote. The phan-
tom your packets pursue is profits. These
will be as they We're last year-a phantom
while the losses will be a reality. The
Captain of the Pink Marble may be s. fat

and gets nothing to do. The Louisville

at an expense of $500 per week. Four

Before the rebellion the Southern peo-
pie did not enjoy a very enviable reputa-
ton as nnild-mannered and peaceable citi-
zens. Since the war they have fearfully
refrigerated, and approach nearer baroar-
ism than their advocates in the North
are willing to admit. Among them hu-
man life is held to be of little or no value,
and cold blooded murders are of frequent
occurrence. The journalists publish the
particulars with as much GOODNESS and
nonchalance as our reporters describe a
street fight or ordinary case of assault
and battery, as the following account Of
