Captain G. w. Bachelor, late
Collector OF Customs at Pittsburg, and an
old and steamboatman, is
mentioned as a candidate for Mayor of

Editor of the Memphis Avalanche is en-
gagged in the very laudable enterprise of
spotting negro employers on steamboats,
who do not hold conservative views, espe-
ciaIly stewards, and proposes to pub
lish a list next week. He says:
We have our list near,y completed.
Among the number is Captain Frank
shaw. who is a member of the loyal
league, and who is taking an active part
with the BrownlOw m~arauders. ColOred
men who belong to the river fraternity,
and have been taking an active part with
Radicals, have been spotted, They viii

This, we should infer, is the proper level
for the renowned gentleman of the Acd-
lanche. He is perhaps not sensible that
ostracising men, whether black or white,
for opinions sake, is a t~wo-handed
game. Louisville, Memphis, and New
Orleans are not the only shipping
ports on the Ohio and Mississippi
rive. We understand that the same par
ties have ~inaugurated a move to drive Off
the river all commanders and other Off
GERS who We're loyal to the government
during the rebellion. That trick won't
win. The Nashville has been chartered
to take The place of the Armada in the
Cairo tIade next week. She has been fully
refitted, refurnished and reprinted, and
looks extremely pretty, we are told.
ThefCharmer is to take the place OF the
Quickstep as soon as the water becomes
too thin for the latter. The Charmer is
being thoroughly repaired at Cincinnati
