SAINT LoUIs.-The Democrat OF
Wednesday says:
The river here rose ten inches Sun
day, and fourteen inches Monday and
yesterday morning, total n inches,
aud was stationary at noon. Nothing
like a freshet, and no fears of one. A
slight rise at ST. Paul and in the Hi
nOis; the lower Missouri has risen
considerably-that it had risen four
feet at st. Charles on Monday was
rumored. The respite from low wa
ter promises to be but temporary
The upper Missouri is unchanged.
Weather cool aud delightful yester-
day. Business good.
MEMPHIS. - The Bulletin mentions
the successful termination ofthe May
flowers first trip in her new trade. 1t
says:
She had fifty sacks of wheat among
her freight, the first shipment Of that
article from Augusta, Ark Captain
Ashford found planters in fine spirits
about their crops, with very little
complaint of bad effects from the
rains. As we expected, the May
flower made a sensation on her up
trip. The papers up that way were
enthused.n :" Those who take an
honest pride in White River will take
a pieasurable pride In the Mayhower,"
one paper says. The two bridal berths
took the girls; quick glances from
brigtt eyes made some of the White
River youth think about popping
the question" The ladies congretE-
lated Captain Ashford on his boat,
and, behind his back, not few con
graduated the boat on its captain-it
is well that his weakness is not vanity.
NEW ORLEANs.-The Times OF
Saturday says:
clear and fine, was very close. not
withstanding a fine breeze at inter
walls.
Business on the landing was ex-
ceedingly dull for Friday There
were but few departures, and they
did not appear to have much freight
or messengers. To day being the end
of the week, and numerous packets
take their departure, we may expect
to witness a good days business.
The New Orleans papers announce
that Captain T. p. Leathers, Of the
Vicksburg packet Gen. Quitman, has
discharged from employment on his
steamer all persons not members Of
the Democratic party, whereupOn, @
meeting is held at Point Coupee. and
it was stated, that, Whereas, 1t has
become the settled policy Of the De-
mocracy of this State not to Give en-
plOyment or support Of any kind to
members Of the Radical party; and
resolved that " thanks are due,
and are hereby returned to Captain
II. u. Leathers, of the steamer Hen..
Quitman, for being the hr5t among.
to take this important
step. which is calculated to contribute
LARGELY to the success of the Demo
cratic party in this State; We take
these particulars from the New Or
leans Times of the 10Th ult., which
favorabiy upOn the action
taken. A planter writes to the Re-
q1ublicnR that he paid last year to the
Ieueral Quitman $4,000 freightage on
cotton, and in consequence Of the dis
charging Of the colored crew because
they would not join a Democratic
club, he will not ship another pound
of freight on her.
