Mr.. Thos. Clark, a well known river
| pilot died a, Cairo on Sunday last.
The OH City Register OF The 2sth says
the river is etfertus!iv blocked with ice.
Weather very eO.5. Has been showing
for the pass three days, and still CON
tiHues.
The New Orleans Cfss~-nfo Of the Sd.
says; We learned yesterday that Cant.
Jones and Capt. John i. Douglas, OF the
Atlantic liie, altered passage 10 Gen.
Price and family 90 81. Louis. The In
diana, Capt. Neal, also ofl-rsi the q
eral a free passage up the river. These
are very kind offers on the part O. u
steamboat friends. They are never be-
hind in their generous offers.
A New Yorker who, il is said, operates
in everything, was bantered 20 bet upon
the ocean yacht race. His bets amount
to Sf5, 900, every one of which he wins.
/ --s.h 81. r.,--sElr- 49, 20 nrR
coo that the trip would be made by some
one yacht inside of fourteen days: this
he may possibly lOse8y fifteen minutes /!
He had a bet of 5000 that the Vesta
would win; but on Thursday last-after
the race WAS Over-a friend, who desired
to " hedgen g little, begged as a special
favor that ne would transfer it to him,
and, with his usual good nature, and
his usual good luck, he consented.
Brick POmeroy goes for a railroad and
steamboat agent of his town in this wise
The person who supersedes Britt as agent
for the La Crosse & Milwaukee road at
this point is Mr.. Strasberger. Of James
vile, Wis. Mr. Britt has been a failure.
He has festhered his nest quite well, hut
has not won q place in one single heart
ia La Crosse. There is not an employee
at the depot that respects OF loves him
there is not an honorable business man
on the river who respects him and but
few who believe in his honesty he has
not friends enough in La Crosse TO pur-
chase and present him even q fifty dol
lar testimonial Of regard. He may do
for Milwaukee for Prairie du Chen, bu5
he has proved the most complete dead
beat - for business this city ever knew
fit wart on the monopoly corporation he
has catered for and aided to make OBJ
noxiOus to the people of the northwest.
II he could be in the stores and business
places Of this city and hear men talk of
him-see them turn up their noses in
disgust when his name is mentioned,
he'd go home sick the first hour.
There was a time when the above
road had honest, courteous, high-minded,
intelligent gentlemen to manage affairs
here, but that day has passed. There
was q time when the cars made good
time-when men tried to win and retain
business, but since the rotten, people
swindling, -nvercharging railroad and
steamboat arrangement went into opera
ton here, honest men and capable gem
tlemen have been at q discount.
This is now about the head Of naviga-
ton. All the bo@tsfu port bound up will
start a. s9Un as the news justiies.
The Die Vernon went out with her
cabin full OF people II a splendid deck
load. She had some 500 bales of cotton.
Capt. Joe. Banhl graeed the office.
The Des Are got away for White river
with q hne trip.
The st. Cloud departed with = load of
cotton. We feaTshe viii not get through
even to Cairo until the weather changes.
The Louisville departed for Louisville
with about 1900 bales Of cotton. The
/ passengers of several boats not so am
bilious as the great sternwheeler, took
passage on her and we hope they may
get through all right.
BY private dispatch we learn that the
Gen. Anderson is still making trips from
Cairo to Columbus.
The NJ. V. T. Co. from the 1st Of May
to the close of navigation carried III 900
tons Of freight 10 New Orleans. They
brought up the river 1900 ton for varI-
Gus ports. We give q list Of articles and
number Of packages
