p. Webb.......-.......We had the pleas
ure of meeting Capt o. Hewitt, late
of the ill fated Laura Fenton. who is in
the city prospecting. Capt. Hewitt pro-
poses, if he receives sufficient encourage
ment from our merchants and shippers, to
put a first class side wheel steamer in the
trade from this city to vicksburg and the
Bends, and his proposition receives con-
siderable encouragement from our ship
pers. We think that it would be a good
move, as an immense trade might be
turned to the city that now finds its way 80
st. Louis and other markets. We hope
the experiment win be tried. Capt. Hewitt

........We inadvertently omitted an i'm
portant monosyilabie from our remark
on the notices of the Great Republic. by
the Memphis press, copied into yesterdays
JOURNAL. We purposed to say that the
eyes of the Memphis editors were not gan
grened by local or political prejudice, but
accidentally omitted the "not "-said ex-
actly the opposite to what we intended. 49,.
We welcome TO our table the Pittsburg
Commercial one of the handsomest papers
in the country. We hope it will be sent to
us regularly. Its river news is always re-
liable and valuable. We must have it; so
send it along, gentlemen ...Freights are
abundant here, and the Richmond, to-
morrow, will get a vast amount. The
