MISCELLANEOUS.
Capt. Jim. Durff, OF the Avalanche,
arrived home yesterday. He came by
grsdnal apprOaches-in military style
and pronounced Memphis more healthy
TODAY than any point he has visited
since leaving. We welcome you home,
Capt. Jim.
Cotton accumulated rapidly at the St.
Louis wharfboat yesterday. The Mar
| bic City will take about 1890 bales and
| the Jacobs win get nearly 1000 more to-
day.
Capt. Davis. OF the Rowena, arrived
Yesterday on the Ozark from the wreck
of his steamer. From him we learn fur
Their particulars of her loss. Just alter
supper on Monday evening, after back
ing out from the wharf boat at Helena,
she struck an old wreck which lies out
in the channel and a few yards above
the w~harfboat. The shock was sudden
and the sinking was almost instantane-
Gus. Her bottom from the fore hatch on
the larboard side back to her shaft was
torn out 80 completely that by running
down q stick at any point n can stlrup
the sand. Her f~oreeastle is put of water,
but her Jarboard cylinder is immersed,
and the water Is part way up the eylin-
der on her starbOard side. She is BADLY
broken and is settling down. The acci-
deut was so sudden that the passengers
on board had scarcely time to become
alarmed. When she first struck she ca
rpened badly, but righted on the bottom.
| The Rowena had on board 29S bales of
cotton, OF which some $50 were saved
and brought Bp on the Ozark. b re-
majnder Is in the hold, and will no doubt
be saved in a damaged condition. Capt.
| Davis Immediately set to work and had
all movable on the boat packed up Sc
curely in boxes and turned the boat over
to the underwriters. She wss insured in
! C~inriunati offices for $40, 000-Boatmans'
$500 American $500, and the Queen
| Citv. Firemenis, Germanis, Citizens
| Msgnolia, Buckeye State, and Eureka,
s2OOO each. The officers Of the boat are
highly spoken of by all who were pres
ant at the time Of the accident for their
cooluess and discretion. Capt. Davis is
about to charter a boat to put in the
4 Mace Of the Rowena temporarily, and
proceeds to Cincinnati to-day to PURCHASE
q fine sidewheel packet for the line. IL
Is the general impression that the wreck
cannot be raised, but an effort wiseKeth
sthlv he made to do so. Messrs. Hoked
and Hurry, the clerks of the R1fOuity
