certainly succeeded in his endeavors. However
we readily forgive him. ss Sunday was one of the
pTettiest days with which be has favored rs for
some time.
There were quite number OF visitors at Car
rollton on Sunday, and the gallant A. G. Brown
was put 70 the test in order to accommodate her
friends, "whose names are legion" 10 our last
Issue We promised our readers full account of
the trips OF this packet TO Carrollton. We are
sorry 10 say that we are unable TO fulfil our prom
ise 10 the letter. Want Of space and other con-
siderations preclude il. We will however, say a
word or two. As the hour Of 5 p. NJ. approached
we proceeded to the foot Of Canal street. Arriv.
ing there We found the steamers Louise, Nea6e
and ReaDy at the wharf with eolors set. whistles
blowing. etc.. and after some trouble (they not
having been advertised in the CSEscEST) sscer.
tanned that they were destined for Carrollton. In
few minutes our packet the Albert G., came in
sight, and Immediately upon landing was beseged
and taken complete possession of by small army
(some three hundred strong) OF "fair women and
brave men," To describe the trip would occupy
more space than we have at command. So we
will not make the attempt. Suffice it to say that
Capt. BssseIt landed the Brown in front of the
garden at Carrollton just forty-four minutes out,
and that the only words Of complaint We heard
were regrets expressed that the trip was but too
short. We came back to town, and what hap.
pened on the down trip we do not care to tell.
We parted from the Brown with (cham) painful
feelings, and wished that we had more Sundays in
the week.

small list of arrivals and departures. The river is
falling as far down as the mouth Of White river.
and as yet there has been little damage incurred
by the high water this side of Napoleon. The
upper streams are still rising, but the rise will not
have much effect on the river here. The crops
along the river are in fourishing condition, and
the planters are in good spirits aud anticipate
large yield. The Richmond passed up for Louis
VILE yesterday at P. NJ, with big passenger
trip. The Magenta will leave here on Monday at
P. NJ for New Orleans"
